How could that man talk to her Teacher like that?

Fu Xie Lan then stuffed the shell into the pocket under her robes and then left the place without saying anything.

​​

Gu Yi followed behind her with the corners of his lips slightly raised. When he saw the girl walk, he quickly equalized his footsteps.

"Do you angry with me?" the man asked Fu Xie Lan who was right beside her.

The girl just looked at him not answering at all.

"I'm sorry," Gu Yi muttered which the girl could still hear.

At this time Fu Xie Lan no longer cared about the man's words, her attention was shifted to a plant which if from its shape she seemed to know the plant.

It's ginseng, but it's a slightly different color and more flaming, maybe like...gold?

The plant is not on a shelf, like other herbs, but is in a large glass case containing the same plant, only different in size and shape.

Fu Xie Lan wanted it. especially that golden-colored ginseng.

"Right, it's ginseng," she whispered when she was right in front of the large glass case.

"Master, you are wrong the plant is a 500-year-old golden ashwagandha," said one of the women who turned out to be next to her.

The girl's brows furrowed, in her previous life wasn't ashwagandha another name for ginseng? Why in the world is it different? Ah whatever the name is, all she knows is that the herb that is a in front of her right now is ginseng. Plants that if processed into pills or anything like that can make a person stay young and smooth her skin.

Previously, there were various kinds of herbs that the girl wanted, she never thought she would find ginseng in this world because in her previous life, that herbal plants were rare.

'With ginseng alone, that's enough,' she thought, and immediately all kinds of herbs she wanted previously were crossed off her list.

However, the girl's pleasure did not last long when her eyes fell on the price listed on the glass case.

300 mana stones.

Her expression suddenly turned sullen without her noticing. Her mana stone is not enough. Too bad, she wanted that herbal plants. Looks like she'll have to skip the plant and look for the one that fits with her pocket.

"Why, Honey? You want it?" Gu Yi asked seeing the girl's happy expression suddenly gloomy.

Fu Xie Lan turned her head towards him. "No, we'll find something else," she replied with a rough sigh then moved away of the glass box with steps that looked very reluctant.

Fu Xie Lan went back around, there were so many very strange plants and some that looked so beautiful.

'Save me,'

A voice suddenly entered the girl's sense of hearing. She reflexively touched Hao who was perched on her shoulder and carried the creature into her arms.

"Did you just talk to me?" said Fu Xie Lan to Hao.

'Not me, Miss,' Hao replied and managed to raise a frown on Fu Xie Lan's forehead.

Is my hearing a problem?'

"What's the matter, Queen?" asked Gu Yi suddenly when he saw the girl stop in her tracks.

"No, it's okay," she answered then stepped, maybe because of her hearing is problem. Fu Xie Lan chose to forget the sound that had just bothered her and went back through the rows of shelves who the size was the same as her height.

'Save me.'

'Save me.'

That voice again, Fu Xie Lan looked around the room to find the origin of the sound. This time she was very sure it was no longer hallucinations or hearing problems. The voice exists. Activates the power of her eyes and observes. The result was nil, no one she felt was in danger, so where did the voice come from?

"Did you hear anything?" said Fu Xie Lan immediately turned to Gu Yi.

"Voice? I only heard your voice, Queen," Gu Yi replied immediately. She didn't hear anything other than Fu Xie Lan's voice speaking to him.

Hearing that, one of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows raised.

"What's the matter, Queen?" Gu Yi asked.

"I heard a voice asking for help," the girl replied in a slightly whispering voice.

Gu Yi's brow furrowed as he heard Fu Xie Lan's words, why couldn't he hear anything?

"Maybe just a feleeng...."

"Shhh," Fu Xie Lan cut sentence of the man off and told him to shut up.

And sure enough, she heard the voice again. Fu Xie Lan took another step following the origin of the voice. The more she walked, the louder the sound that reached her eardrums. It was a man's voice. Until now, the girl still hasn't found any figure that needs help, since she has been activating her eye ability just in case she missed something.

The voice grew louder, and before they knew it, they had entered a room whose walls were filled with ice, not only that, the floor and roof were as well. The whole room was covered with ice. The same shelves as before filled the entire room. The temperature in the room was so cold, but it didn't stop the girl's steps at all. Gu Yi, who followed closely behind, didn't make a sound.

The voice disappeared, and the girl's steps suddenly stopped. Now she was right in front of a shelf that stood alone, intricate carvings filled them, and there was only one glass case there.

Her eyes caught a plant with a completely white color, even the leaves looked transparent. The fruit, which is the size of a marble, is bright red, in stark contrast to the color of the stems and leaves.

For a moment the girl was frozen in place, of all the plants she met, this was the most strange and beautiful plant for her.

'Save me,' the voice sounded again and Fu Xie Lan was sure that the voice came from the plant in front of her right now, precisely at the fiery red fruit that looked bigger than the others.

"Save me," the voice said again.

"Did you hear anything?" she whispered to Gu Yi. The place was very quiet there were only the two of them there. The man shook his head at the question that he don't know how many times the girl had asked.

'Miss, I feel a spirit is there,' Hao who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, even the creature suddenly stood up from its position and stared intently at one of the fruits on the plant.

'Is it true?'

'That's right, Miss.' Hao suddenly jumped off her shoulder and landed on the glass that was the protective covering of the plant, Hao's unexpected aggressive attitude made Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi glance at each other for a moment.

'He's here,' added Hao with his little feet tapping on the glass just above the fruit which looked bigger than the others.
