Huang Bao choked, his eyes scanned Gu Yi. He was afraid that his disciple would make that Ruler angry.

Meanwhile, Gu Yi and Wan Lie who heard the girl's words were silent. Wan Lie felt guilty for not being honest with his mother, while Gu Yi, no one know what the man had in mind, the corners of his lips lifted in a faint smile.

​​

"Aren't you curious about the Ruler of this world?" Gu Yi said keeping a little distance from the girl because of the smell of blood that still lingered on his body.

Fu Xie Lan, who sensed that the man had returned, immediately turned around and found Gu Yi standing, leaning on one of the tree trunks with one leg at a ninety-degree angle supporting the tree trunk, slightly sideways.

"Curious? I don't have time to think about other people, especially if it doesn't have anything to do with me," replied Fu Xie Lan.

Hearing Fu Xie Lan's words, Gu Yi chuckled behind his hood.

"Is it true?"

Fu Xie Lan did not respond to the man's question anymore.

The situation was quiet again, there was no conversation between them. Only the sound of the occasional breeze could be heard hitting the leaves.

Being in that position for about an hour, Fu Xie Lan opened her eyelids. Raised her hand and looked at the ring with the lotus engraved on her index finger.

'Hope you recover quickly and return to your world,' the girl thought, rubbing the ring in her hand. No one understands more than her, how difficult it is to survive in a world that is completely different from her previous life.

The sunlight that managed to escape from the dense leaves gave such a beautiful sight, it looked like the stars at night, and also the leaves that fell by the wind, somehow made her feel a little at peace.

A few minutes later, she immediately moves. Jumping off the branch she was on and landed a spot next to Xue Ning.

"How do you feel?" she asked breaking the silence, and reflexively all eyes were on the girl.

"A little better," Xue Ning replied immediately.

"Good."

"Teacher, maybe we can continue our journey soon," said Fu Xie Lan, turning to Huang Bao.

"Is it okay?" asked Huang Bao, his eyes catching Ju Xian who still looked exhausted. Fu Xie Lan followed the old man's gaze.

"Will you still be able to hold out until Phillony City?" asked Fu Xie Lan immediately approaching Ju Xian.

The man immediately stood up swiftly. "Sure," he replied quickly.

"Alright, then let's go," she said and at that moment Gu Yi was already near her, with jet black wings.

Luckily Xue Ning and Ju Xian knew nothing about Demons, although they had heard a few stories about it but only in general terms. All they knew was 'Demons are the strongest race, and led all races until now'. Only to that extent.

Quickly, the two people immediately flew vertically move out of the dense trees into the air.

Ju Xian who was approaching Xue Ning was prevented by Wan Lie. Although he was still a bit tired, his responsibility of carrying Xue Ning was not over yet, and he had to be able to carry it somehow.

"Leave her with me. Your body looks really tired," Wan Lie said to the man and then carried Xue Ning, immediately moving after Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi.

Hearing this, Huang Bao smiled, "Want to come with me, kid?" he offered to Ju Xian who immediately turned to him.

"It's all right. I can still be on my own," he replied and quickly caught up with the others, as did Huang Bao who followed behind them.

Wan Lie who was already behind his father slowed down, Gu Yi already knew his identity, so there was no longer any reason for him to hide from the man.

Meanwhile, Xue Ning, who was looking at Wan Lie's wings, was stunned and just stared at his fluffy feathers moving in the wind.

Wan Lie turned his gaze to the girl in his arms, a faint smile appeared on his lips without him noticing.

"If you throw up, I'll throw you out of here," he said coldly.

"I-I'm sorry," Xue Ning squeaked in a very small voice that the man could still hear.

On the other hand, Fu Xie Lan who was in Gu Yi's arms was busy holding the man's hood, which almost fell off and exposed his entire face.

"Just let it go, Queen, no one will see it," said Gu Yi.

Hearing that, her hand reflexively pulled the hood tightly making the man chuckle.

"I can't see, honey."

"Your business," Fu Xie Lan snapped. She did that not without reason, she was just afraid of her thoughts when she saw the man's face at this close distance.

"You should wear a mask or something like that if you want to hide your face."

"Should I?"

"Yeah, that's best, that's just my suggestion the future if you carry me like this again, I don't want to be bothered by continuing to hold onto your hood," Fu Xie Lan replied quickly, immediately loosening her grip on the man's hood the girl did not know the reason why the man always lowered his hood to cover half his face, she wanted to ask, but thinking about their last discussion was very sensitive, and it all started with her asking carelessly. Fu Xie Lan was afraid to offend the man again. So in the end, she chose not to ask anything.

Gu Yi smiled. "Then just let it go. No one will see."

Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan immediately lowered her hands, letting the hood of his head be blown off by the wind.

And at the same time, the girl realized something. That face, why is his face so similar to Wan Lie?

She was stunned for a few seconds staring at the man's face. The longer she stared at him, somehow Fu Xie Lan felt as if she was familiar with that face, it felt like de javu? feelings of familiarity, longing, sadness, and happiness mixed into one, feelings that she didn't understand and it made one of her hands lift to touch Gu Yi's face.

"I miss you so much." Five words managed to escape from the girl's tiny lips and at the same time, Gu Yi's body stiffened as his sense of hearing caught the sentence so clearly. Even her voice sounded a little different.

Feeling Fu Xie Lan's hand touch his skin made him immediately look at the girl intently. One of the girl's eyes changed, the right one remained the usual 'Violet' color while the other was 'Sapphire Blue. It only happened for a few seconds and the girl suddenly unconscious in his arms.
