It was a few hours after the party ended, and it was getting late, but Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning were still reluctant to leave Fu Xie Lan's room.

Suddenly someone sneaked into the girl's room, making everyone in the room aghast and take an alert attitude.

​​

But when they saw the figure, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was Gu Yi.

The man immediately approached Fu Xie Lan. but no one expected that the girl backed away and seemed to be avoiding Gu Yi.

"Blood."

"You reek of blood," said Fu Xie Lan with a hand covering her nose.

immediately Wan Lie and the other two breathed in the air around them but didn't find anything at all like what Fu Xie Lan had said.

"Don't come close if the scent is still lingering on your body," said the girl again, successfully making Gu Yi freeze on the spot.

Inhaling the scent of his own body, there is indeed a scent of blood but it is very faint or not even felt at all. But still, Fu Xie Lan's sense of smell could sense it.

"Hmm, alright, alright, I'm sorry, honey," Gu Yi said taking a step back and ending up leaning against the side of the window.

"Did something happen while I was gone?" he asked with his eyes scanned the room, it was unusual for him, they all gather so late at night in Fu Xie Lan's room.

"Fu Xie Lan, managed to get the ruby ​​star stone," said Xue Ning in response to the man's question.

It's very good," he replied, then chuckled.

"Then? Are you guys going back to the wizard's territory tomorrow?"

"No!"

"I want to dethrone the Emperor at this time," said Fu Xie Lan again.

Hearing that, the other three people froze.

Dethrone the Emperor?

Isn't that something that shouldn't be said so easily?

"But Xie Lan..."

"You can still return to the wizarding territory if you don't dare to do it with me," said Fu Xie Lan later.

"It's not that I disagree. But isn't that pretty much impossible? We don't have any position in this kingdom, nor do we have any evidence to do so, I'm just afraid if..."

"For that matter, don't worry."

"Tell me, what can we do to help?" asked Wan Li.

"No. Nothing for tonight. You guys go back and rest," Fu Xie Lan replied then.

"Alright. Don't do it alone, make sure to involve the three of us," Xue Ning said after a few seconds of silence.

The three then left the room, leaving behind Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi.

"Queen, I'm going first, a minute," the man came out. But through the window. Even though the bedroom door was still wide open. It seemed that it was Gu Yi's habit to go in and out of the window wherever he was.

.

.

.

Only a few minutes later, the man returned, of course in a new suit as well as the smell of blood that had disappeared from his body.

"Are you done with your affairs?" asked Fu Xie Lan when she finds the man reappeared.

Gu Yi just nodded in response to the girl. Walked closer and immediately hugged the girl's body without a word.

"I missed you so much," said Gu Yi, tightening his embrace on the girl.

"We've only been apart a few hours, not even a day is enough and you already miss me."

"It seems to be true, I can't stay away from you."

A sigh escaped the girl's lips.

"Can I ask something?" asked Fu Xie Lan then.

One of Gu Yi's eyebrows raised, "Whatever it is, Queen," he said, slowly letting go of his embrace and holding both of the girl's cheeks, approaching, seeming to want to kiss Fu Xie Lan's lips.

"Do you know anything about black witchs?"

Immediately Gu Yi's movements stopped. He then lowered his hand from the girl's cheek. Turned around and slowly he carried Fu Xie Lan over to the bed, sitting her there.

"Is something bothering you?" Gu Yi asked softly.

"Emperor..."

"He's not human..."

"Fu Xie Yan's Queen and Princess are also not..."

Mllpphhh.....

Gu Yi immediately stopped the movement of the girl's lips with his kiss.

It was only a few seconds, and then he stopped what he was doing. He moved his fingers to caress the girl's lips, which were still wet from his actions.

Back moving to the side kissed the girl's neck up to her earlobe.

"Shhh... Sometimes walls have ears too, Queen," Gu Yi whispered sensually in the girl's ear.

Fu Xie Lan's body suddenly stiffened, does that mean someone is watching their movements?

"Relax, Queen. It's still safe now," said Gu Yi later.

Fu Xie Lan looked at the man seriously, without even blinking.

"Who are you?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"I?"

"I am your husband," Gu Yi chuckled.

"Ahh."

At the same time, the girl pinched Gu Yi's arm.

"Never mind, it seems you really can't be serious with me."

"I'm serious, Queen."

"Erm, it's up to you," replied Fu Xie Lan then stood up, approaching Hao who was sleeping on the table. Take him to bed.

"I have something for you, Queen."

Immediately the girl turned to look at Gu Yi. "What's that?"

"Want to see it now?"

Fu Xie Lan nodded.

"Alright, get ready," Gu Yi said, standing up and walking over to the window. Looking in all directions as if assessing the situation.

"Huh? Where are you going?" asked Fu Xie Lan in confusion.

"Look at your gift," he said then turned around with a gentle smile at the girl.

"But this has..."

Before finishing her sentence, Fu Xie Lan's body suddenly lifted and seconds later was already in the man's arms.

"Close your eyes, Queen," Gu Yi pleaded.

With her innocent expression, Fu Xie Lan complied with Gu Yi's request.

The man again kissed Fu Xie Lan on the lips, causing the girl to glare at him sharply.

"I want to take my share first," said Gu Yi with a wink.

.

.

"All right, close your eyes one more time, Queen."

Hearing that, of course, Fu Xie Lan did not obey.

"This time I'm serious, believe me."

Fu Xie Lan complied with Gu Yi's request.

And seconds later, they left the room, moving in the darkness, blending into the stillness of the night, racing away without anyone noticing.

.

.

.

"Open your eyes, Queen," Gu Yi pleaded.

Fu Xie Lan complied with the man's request and at the same time, the scent of blood immediately greeted her sense of smell.

Breaking away from the man's embrace, Fu Xie Lan observed where she was at this moment.

As far as her eyes could see all she found were small houses that looked very old.

This place was not inside the Zu royal palace.

"Where is this?" asked Fu Xie Lan turning towards Gu Yi.

"Come in first, I hope you like my gift," he said guiding Fu Xie Lan into the old house directly behind them.

Opening the door slowly, the sound of a pained groan was the first thing to reach her senses and managed to create a frown on Fu Xie Lan's forehead.

What did Gu Yi want to show her?

Present?

Even so, Fu Xie Lan's steps did not slow down at all.

For some reason, her heart suddenly raced very fast, along with the fishy smell of blood that was getting thicker.
