Just hearing from his voice, Fu Xie Lan could already guess who the owner was.
That man was Gu Yi.
***
"Open your eyes, there's no one people left, Honey," Gu Yi whispered in Fu Xie Lan's ear.
Hearing that, the girl's eyelids slowly opened.
Finding the man's face so close to her made Fu Xie Lan stunned, holding her breath.
The reflex of her hand moved to push the man's body away.
"Too close, your breath stinks," said the girl then took a sitting position and immediately saw the whole room and was on guard if there were guards who came in. Being in a room that is not so spacious, the shop owner's merchandise seems to be everywhere. If her judgment was correct, that room was the store owner's storeroom.
Gu Yi who has pushed away immediately got up and took a seat beside the girl.
Trying to feel the smell of his mouth, whether his mouth smells like Fu Xie Lan said or just pretending.
While the wizard man next to him had not yet regained consciousness.
Fu Xie Lan who saw Gu Yi leaning right next to her couldn't help but frown.
"What exactly are you doing?" She asked the man when she saw that Gu Yi was still nearby.
"I take care of you," he replied smiling after feeling that there was nothing wrong with his scent.
"Huh? I can take care of myself," replied Fu Xie Lan glaring sharply.
"How are things outside," she then asked the man.
"Outside?"
Fu Xie Lan nodded.
"It's not as bad as the situation in this room," Gu Yi said again, his eyes slightly glancing at the man who was right beside him.
Hearing the man's answer, Fu Xie Lan rolled her eyes in embarrassment, because Gu Yi's answer was not what she expected.
Without waiting long, Fu Xie Lan activated her eye power, paying attention to how things were outside the room.
Staying in that position for a few minutes without making any movement made Gu Yi move in front of the girl and sit there.
Immediately, a look of displeasure was etched on Fu Xie Lan's face as her gaze was blocked by the man.
"What do you see, Queen?" Gu Yi asked with the corners of his lips curled up faintly.
If his memory is correct, his Queen used to have the ability to see through. Everything in front of him became useless when she activated her eye power.
Suddenly something appeared in his mind. Doesn't that power go away? And still, exists in another part of her soul after the events of 700 years ago? The soul he was referring to was the imperfect soul that occupied the body in front of him right now.
Gu Yi stared fixedly at Fu Xie Lan.
"Aren't you tired of staring at me all the time?" asked Fu Xie Lan back without any intention of answering the man's question.
"So what? Even if there are even a million years to look at you, then I will do it," he replied, for this, Gu Yi is serious. Let's say he is very infatuated with the girl, he is even willing to sacrifice everything for his queen even if it has to snatch his life.
Fu Xie Lan felt her face heat up slightly and before she knew it, a blush had already bloomed on her cheeks. Her heart raced again. At that moment her face and Gu Yi's face were so close again.
The danger alarm rang loudly in Fu Xie Lan's mind, with a quick movement she avoided Gu Yi and immediately pushed him away a bit, it seemed that the man would kiss her again if she didn't wake up soon. Even though the mask was still perfectly attached to her face, it couldn't be a guarantee for her to be safe when the man touched her.
Somehow, the man easily messed up her feelings, for sometimes she was carried away, call it like the incident when Gu Yi kissed her when they were still in the Dark Zore.
"Sorry," said Gu Yi realizing the mistake he almost made.
"So may I know how are things outside now?" he added, moving away and returning to his original position, sitting between Fu Xie Lan and the unknown wizarding man, his legs stretched out like an intermediary.
Fu Xie Lan was stunned to hear the man's question. A conjecture appeared in her mind but he immediately dismissed it, especially so far no one knew the power of her eyes except herself.
"What do you mean? I should be the one asking you that. How could I, who was unconscious, know what was happening outside?" fast reply.
"You mean, pretending to be unconscious?" said Gu Yi chuckling.
Fu Xie did not answer and only glanced at him sharply.
"Okay, okay. Don't look at me like that," he said again, apparently, his guess was wrong. He wasn't so sure about the notion of his queen's invisibility. He doesn't know if it disappeared or because the girl was hiding it. He didn't know.
"The fire hasn't been extinguished, and the pile of corpses of the people inside Noelle has turned into skulls without leaving anything behind," he explained with a single breath.
"I never thought that you can also be so cruel," he added with a chuckle.
While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan was again surprised by the man's words.
'Only skulls left?'
'How did that man know he piled up the bodies?'
'Don't tell me that....'
Again, she quickly dismissed what she thought was a bit crazy.
"Did you see where Hao is?" asked Fu Xie Lan suddenly remembering the fluffy creature.
"Hao?"
"Yes, Hao. The little creature who is always with me" explained the girl.
"Even you gave the name for a weak creature like that?" he is feeling unfair because until now, Fu Xie Lan had always called him a pervert.
"Not me, that's his name," explained Fu Xie Lan, rolling her eyes in embarrassment.
"Hmm, he's with Wan Lie," said Gu Yi in a soft voice when he mentioned the young man's name.
"That's good," the girl replied with a sigh of relief.
They were then silent for a few minutes. There was no conversation between the two of them, lost in their thoughts.
"Queen, may I ask you something?" Gu Yi's words suddenly made Fu Xie Lan turn towards him.
"What's your next plan?" he asked again.
"Nothing," Fu Xie Lan replied firmly. After this, he did not have any plans.
Regarding the guards in this room previously, she certainly wouldn't be allowed to get away with it if she didn't give any information, right? All she could do was answer their simple questions, and after that, she was able to leave. Maybe?
As for the man she brought with her, she was not so worried. judging by the hard blow she created on the man's head, maybe he won't be conscious any time soon.
