"There is something wrong?" he asked the two old men.

"O-oh no, Your Highness," replied Huang Bao.

​​

Gu Yi ignored the two and just walked away, passing by Wan Lie after glancing at him, somehow he felt familiar with that gaze.

"Provide a place to rest for this girl," he said without turning his head.

"A-Alright," replied Huang Bao. He was still having a hard time digesting what had happened.

"Who?" whispered Xiao Ying in Huang Bao's ear when he saw his friend bow slightly when he spoke to the man.

"Remember about the last descendant of the Demon race that I told you about?" he said in a very small voice. The two of them stepped slowly behind the man.

Xiao Ying suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had found a common thread in his confusion earlier.

"So the man?" he whispered again.

Huang Bao only nodded in response.

"But, why is your student able to..."

"Eheem," Wan Lie cleared his throat when he heard the conversation between the two old men.

Understanding the meaning of the lord's son's humming, both Xiao Ying and Huang Bao, no longer continued their conversation.

"Isn't this Yu Chen's Magic Beast Spirit?" Xiao Ying asked Huang Bao, change the subject, he also wanted to confirm the previous owner of the creature.

"Why this creature with them?" he muttered again.

"His wounds are very severe. It seems he was injured from the Magic Beast's attacks in the Dark Zore." Huang Bao lifted Hao's body and felt his very weak breathing.

Magic beasts have differences from magic beast spirits. Magic beasts are just ordinary magical beasts that have little magic power and they cannot change form. They tend to live in groups.

Whereas magic beast spirits are creatures that resemble magic beasts, but they have common sense. Besides, that magic beast spirits can change their form like humans. They tend to live separately. One more thing, they do not live forever. Making contracts with wizards is the only way for them to live forever. If their contractor died, they only had a thousand years to find a new contractor, and during that time they would only maintain the vitality of their bodies in a place rich in Mana. Otherwise, they will disappear.

The only thing the two had in common was that they both liked mana. They would not be able to survive in areas that had very low mana. The mana requirement of magic beast spirit was greater than that of magic beasts when they lost their contractors, which was why they could only be found in certain places. One of them is Dark Zore which has very large mana.

Gu Yi and Fu Xie Lan are currently in Xiao Ying's castle. Precisely in the room where the girl was previously.

Huang Bao was in a separate room to treat the magic beast spirit's wounds after he returned from his residence to pick up some herbs he needed.

As for Xiao Ying and Wan Lie, they were standing in front of the room where Fu Xie Lan was. The two of them were not allowed in by Gu Yi so they could only wait anxiously.

The sound of the door creaking was followed by Gu Yi's appearance, causing Xiao Ying and Wan Lie to turn their heads to the source of the sound.

"Where is the magic beast spirit?" Gu Yi said as his eyes met Xiao Ying's.

"He's being medicated..."

"Ah yes, tell him when it's done to bring it to me," said the man again cutting Xiao Ying's words. He didn't want that if his queen suddenly woke up and didn't find the creature around, he might be targeted again by her.

Before the old man could answer, the door to the room in front of them closed again.

He glanced at Wan Lie for a moment then immediately moved to convey the ruler's message to Huang Bao.

.

.

It was already evening, and there was still no sign of Fu Xie Lan coming to her senses. Huang Bao had finished treating Hao and the little creature now looked better than before. But the little creature was still reluctant to open his eyes because he was very afraid of the existence of the man who had been staring at his Miss who had not woken up. So all he did was pretend to be asleep.

The small movement that came from Fu Xie Lan's fingers made Gu Yi's grip in her hand even tighter. He knew very well that his wife was very tired, her human body was not used to mana, especially if the Mana was forced into her body. Maybe in the future, he won't let anything like this happen again, because from now on he will continue to protect the girl no matter what.

Slowly but surely, Fu Xie Lan's eyelids opened, her initially blurry vision gradually becoming clearer. And the first thing she saw was a familiar man.

It took her a few seconds to digest it all.

"Aaaa!" shouted Fu Xie Lan suddenly when she remembered that the man holding her hand was the pervert she had met in the Dark Zore, and at that moment the three people outside the room immediately entered the room.

A sight that almost made them fall to the floor.

Lord Gu was lying face down on the floor, with Fu Xie Lan on top of him twisting his arms behind his back.

"You are a pervert, how could you follow me here, Huh?!" She shouted more and more twisting the hand that held her a moment ago. She thought the man would only help her return to Artland World without having to follow her.

The expressions of the three who saw Lord Gu Yi were almost the same, gawking. Huang Bao and Xiao wanted to stop Fu Xie Lan's actions but were immediately stopped by Wan Lie so both of them could only see their Lord being treated like that. Huang Bao already felt very guilty because Fu Xie Lan was his disciple.

"It's okay, just let it be," said Wan Lie then ordered the two old men to immediately return to where they were before and close the door.

In the young man's heart, he did not know whether to cry or laugh happily at his mother's behavior towards the man who was his father. He doesn't know what his father did to make his mother call him a pervert. Without realizing it, behind the mask, a small smile appeared on his lips.

While on the other hand, it was Fu Xie Lan felt her body gradually recover.

"Okay, okay honey, I won't touch you without your permission again," Gu Yi said resignedly even though in his heart he was very happy, but he kept the happiness tightly and didn't express it on his face.

"Too, stop calling me that," said Fu Xie Lan, pressing the man's hand even more.

"Alright, alright. And you too, stop calling me a pervert,"

Fu Xie Lan didn't answer and pressed the man's arm even more in pain.

"Okay, whatever. Whatever, call me as you like," said Gu Yi.

Suddenly a thick furry creature jumped at Fu Xie Lan. He is Hao. The girl caught him and released her grip on the man and immediately stood up. Being in Fu Xie Lan's arms, Hao regained his composure. It seems that he misses her.

Hao did this not because he wanted to save Gu Yi because the creature already knew that the man was only pretending to be in pain so that Fu Xie Lan would care about him more. The man who finished off the magic beasts with a single sweep of his hand was screaming in pain under a little girl, if not pretending then what?
