REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"What happened Young Master? Why..."

"Where is Huang Bao? Say it quickly," said Wan Lie, interrupting Elder Chen.

Currently downstairs, the man only saw Elder Chen, while Huang Bao, did not find him anywhere.

His aura too, he didn't feel it at all in the room.

"Huang Bao?" repeated Elder Chen.

"An hour ago, he left the academy. Maybe he'll be back this afternoon," added the old man again.

"Is there anything I can help you with, young master?"

"My mother…no, I mean something happened to Fu Xie Lan," Wan Lie replied quickly.

"Where did Huang Bao go?" he asked again.

"He didn't tell me, just said he would be out for a while and come back in the afternoon," Elder Chen replied.

"Alright, I'll look for it outside," Wan Lie replied immediately leaving the old man's residence.

And at that moment Elder Chen moved from his position, although at the first he was a little hesitant, his feet still walked towards the second floor where Fu Xie Lan was.

...

A few minutes passed, and Gu Yi felt a slight change in Fu Xie Lan's complexion. Which was initially pale now regained its hue.

Even so, the wrinkles on his wife's forehead have not disappeared.

Heard footsteps from outside.

Quickly the door opened again and Elder Chen's figure appeared there.

"I asked for Huang Bao. Not you," the man said coldly.

"S-sorry Your Majesty. I'm sorry..."

Immediately a cold and domineering aura burst forth, making Elder Chen's throat choke and preventing him from continuing his sentence.

"Come out and bring Huang Bao here. Hurry up!" Gu Yi commanded and at that very moment Elder Chen left the room with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

At first, he just wanted to see Fu Xie Lan's condition but didn't expect it to end like this.

A sigh escaped his lips, descended the stairs, and immediately rushed after Wan Lie, looking for Huang Bao's whereabouts.

He leaves all the things he will do today to other teachers.

"That old man, again giving me trouble," he mumbled and then jumped up and immediately landed on his wand which was already in the air. Moving swiftly against the cardinal directions made his blue robes flutter perfectly.

.

.

Only Gu Yi and Fu Xie Lan remained in the room.

A few moments passed. Slowly the girl's condition recovered by itself. The feeling of nausea that was felt earlier disappeared by itself. Likewise with dizziness and pain in the stomach also subsided.

Gu Yi who saw Fu Xie Lan's condition slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does it still hurt?" Gu Yi asked softly as he gently stroked the girl's hair.

Fu Xie Lan just shook her head weakly. Even though she didn't feel any pain anymore, but she felt as if she had fought a big battle. Weak for no reason.

Her mana drained a lot as if something was sucking it. She had this feeling several times.

At first, she thought it was just her feeling, but after experiencing it many times, she was sure that something was indeed sucking her mana, and she could not find it.

Gu Yi felt the same way. Every time he channeled his mana into Fu Xie Lan's body, he always felt something forcefully absorbing his mana, and every time he did that, his mana that seemed to be sucked in seemed to increase from the previous time.

And no matter how hard he searched for the cause, Gu Yi couldn't find it at all.

Sven though both of them feel the same way, they don't tell it to each other and just keep it to themselves.

"Where's Wan Lie?" asked Fu Xie Lan again speaking up.

"I felt his presence earlier," she added.

"I asked him to look for Huang Bao, Queen," Gu Yi replied.

"Don't think about it. Your current condition is the main thing. Get some rest," he added.

Fu Xie Lan just sighed, not responding to Gu Yi's words.

Sleepiness suddenly overtook her. She didn't even have time to yawn and fell back asleep right then and there. Whereas Fu Xie Lan had just woken up from her sleep, and now she had fallen back asleep again.

...

Suddenly Fu Xie Lan's eyelids opened, startled and immediately took a sitting position. She felt the same as the first time she was in that body.

'Where is this?'

Wrinkles were visible on her forehead when she saw her surroundings.

As far as her eyes could see there was only a white room that Fu Xie Lan herself didn't know where it ended up.

Looking around, all she saw was emptiness, nothing, nobody.

And that meant she was the only one in that strange room.

'Is this a dream?'

Tried pinching herself.

"Argh."

Unfortunately, the pain she had just felt made it clear that what she was experiencing right now was not a dream.

Then what happens?

Where is Gu Yi?

Where is she currently?

"Is someone there?" She shouted, trying to find another figure in the room.

"Hey."

"Hello."

"Is there anyone?"

She shouted many times, but unfortunately, only her voice echoed in the room. Rebounded like a wave and re-entered her sense of hearing.

And that's what made her sure, that in that place there was no one but her alone.

'Am I dead?'

'No. No,' she shook her head quickly

Tried to scan the surroundings again and this time Fu Xie Lan used the power of her eyes, and...

BOOM...

Like being struck by lightning, Fu Xie Lan was taken aback, how could she can not use the mana in her body at all.

Tried again, but the same thing happened again.

The frown on her forehead became clearer.

Fu Xie Lan tried to stand up from her position.

'What exactly is this place?'

As far as her eyes could see, there was only white, even the place where her feet stood was also white, with a bright light shining around her.

But what was strange was, the girl couldn't find the source of the light that illuminated the place.

Tried to expel the mana in her body through her palm.

One second...

Two seconds...

Nothing happens. There wasn't any mana coming out of her body.

It seemed that her guess was right, the place she was currently in prevented her from expelling and using the mana in her body.

Fu Xie Lan then scanned her hands down to her toes, not even the lotus ring that was previously coiled around her finger was there either.

Another question crept into the girl's mind again.

'Then why am I here?'

Once again she twisted her body, see seroroundings, and was completely blank.

Suddenly her body froze, she faintly heard a voice.

From small to loud.

'What's that?'

'Why does the sound resemble the beating of...heart?'

That's right, what she heard was someone's heartbeat, and the sound grew so loud it nearly burst her eardrums.

What else is she going through now?

The sound traveled to her ears to her entire body.
