Chapter 104 - 104. Mysterious Message (2)
Based on the girl's words, he firmly believed that the ruby star stone was closely related to the soul cover rune seal on Fu Xie Lan's body.

The night was getting late, they then decided to return to the inn. On the way, Fu Xie Lan told Gu Yi everything. Everything, without missing a beat. Seeing the girl continue to explain everything to him made him shut up and just listen. Some things he already knew but not all of them.
He couldn't find any common thread from Fu Xie Lan's explanation, the Ruby Star Stone was an elven heirloom. The elves had indeed disappeared, he never expected that the race still exists and even now they are starting to reappear. However, how could the elf race's heirloom remove the seal on Fu Xie Lan's body? Not only that, but they also asked the girl to the mountain of eternal snow. Are they kidding?
Thinking about it for a few seconds, suddenly his jaw tightened as if he had found a common thread that connected all the events that had occurred.
His fists clenched tightly, 'Are they tired of living?'
"We are arriving, sir," the driver's voice caught their attention.
"Alright, Sir. thank you," replied Fu Xie Lan immediately getting off the horse carriage followed by Gu Yi.
The two of them descended some distance from the inn. Using the same method to return to the room where Fu Xie Lan was before.
Fu Xie Lan didn't protest when Gu Yi followed her into the room, cause she will keep a little distance from the man.
"Maybe you should sleep outside," said Fu Xie Lan as she sat down on the bed and faced Gu Yi who was leaning against the window. While Hao who had been silent on her shoulder suddenly jumped onto the bed and lay down there.
"But I.."
"I don't accept rejection, ah yes, thank you for tonight," said the girl cutting Gu Yi's words.
"I'm not going to lock the door from the inside," she added then lay down and a moment later her eyelids were tightly shut.
"Okay. Good night Queen," Gu Yi replied in a very soft tone of voice then closing the window tightly and exited through the door when he confirmed that the girl was asleep.
Sensing the door closing, Fu Xie Lan's previously closed eyelids opened slowly.
"Good night," she mumbled, then smiled.
After telling everything to the man, for some reason she felt the burden of her life was slightly reduced. The fear that had haunted her earlier also evaporated somewhere.
She then rose from her position, grabbed the chocolate roll that she had previously placed on the nightstand. She opened it again and brought it closer to the candle, staring at it until the writing she had seen before reappeared.
"The human race" she muttered under her breath.
Her memories returned to the Zu kingdom precisely the treatment of her father, Emperor Fu Qing.
'Hmm, What happens when she reappears in the kingdom? Do people still remember her or have they forgotten her?
Not quite a month since She was exiled in the forbidden forest, she was very curious about what happened in the kingdom after her departure.
All the memories and feelings of the previous owner of the body also belonged to her, both Fu Xie Lan and Clara, they were both fragments of Yu Yi's queen soul. So that whatever was experienced by the soul that occupied the body before, it will automatically she feel it, because they are the same soul. The soul fragments of the same person who previously occupied two different bodies in different worlds.
"Hao, have you heard of that stone before?" asked Fu Xie Lan putting the scroll back down and facing Hao who was staring at the candlelight in the room, Fu Xie Lan can see a shadow of fire in his eyes.
Hao who heard his Miss's words didn't budge at all, a second later his eyes closed as if he didn't want to answer the girl's question.
Fu Xie Lan let out a rough sigh. After all, what kind of answer did she expect by asking about ruby star stone to a magic beast spirit?
The territory of the human race that was in Fu Xie Lan's memory was only around the Zu kingdom. Because all her time revolves around that kingdom. The only other thing she knew was that the Zu Kingdom was in the central continent.
'Which region the ruby star stone is in?'
'How can I find the stone? While I do not know how it looks'
Various kinds of similar questions lodged in the girl's mind kept her awake until the early hours of the morning.
Her hands then moved to remove the mask.
Because the drowsiness didn't come, Fu Xie Lan got up from her position. Walked to the bedroom window and opened it halfway.
Taking a deep breath and then exhaling it, the air was so cold that it felt so refreshing when it hit the girl's skin.
Suddenly the window she had only opened half moved and opened completely.
"Why haven't you slept, honey?" the figure of a man who suddenly appeared from the side made a Fu Xie Lan flabbergasted. That figure was Gu Yi.
Fu Xie Lan frowned, didn't that man go out through the bedroom door just a moment ago? Then why is he here now?
"What are you doing?" asked Fu Xie Lan immediately.
Gu Yi poked his head into the window with both hands supporting his body on the side of the window, raising one eyebrow with a smile rising on the corners of his lips. The dim light that lit up the room didn't diminish the man's handsomeness in the slightest. The hood he was wearing was no longer in its usual place.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking? Why haven't you slept yet? Is something bothering you?" he said then immediately jumped through the window causing Fu Xie Lan to reflexively take a few steps back but her feet accidentally collided and caused her to lose her balance and almost fall to the floor if Gu Yi's strong hands didn't catch her immediately.
"So careless," Gu Yi chuckled and then lifted the girl's body bridal style.
"Let go and put me down," Fu Xie Lan struggled.
As if deaf to Fu Xie Lan's words, Gu Yi stepped up onto the bed after place Fu Xie Lan's body right next to Hao.
His black mist appears and moved to the window, shut it tightly.
"Looks like tonight's going to be a very long night, honey," Gu Yi said in a slightly hoarse voice.
