"But how come?" The two elders shifted their gaze to the figure of Fu Xie Lan who was sleeping as if nothing had ever happened to her.
Wan Lie didn't know and just shook his head.
"A while ago, the seal reacted again in her body, I tried to use the mana in my body to reduce the effect of the seal but it didn't work, even though before I did the same thing and it worked. Saw her sleeping now, maybe something happened without me knowing when I left her earlier. "
"It seems that every time the seal reacts, the effect will be stronger," said Elder Chen concluded and then nodded by Elder Huang Bao.
"So, what do I have to do for the seal to be lost?"
The two elders looked at each other again.
"Um, for that matter, I don't know what to answer, because we also don't know about the seal, kid all we can do now is protecting her until the time comes," replied Elder Chen a little hesitantly as he let out a helpless sigh.
The magic book does provide information about the soul cover rune seals but regarding how to remove them, there is no explanation whatsoever about them.
"No, I don't want that to happen, I don't want to lose her," wailed Wan Lie.
"Ma-maybe there's a way ..."
"Tell me, I'll do whatever it takes," interrupted Wan Lie.
"This may sound impossible, listen carefully. The seal was created by the Elf race, so according to my conclusion, only the Elf race knows how to remove the seal. But, now that the race is nowhere to be found, they are extinct, the only thing left is Bai Mo's bodyguard, one of your father's bodyguards. but he's not a pure elf descendant. Besides, I'm not sure he knows about the seal, because since childhood he has followed his father and lived in a demon palace."
"But, the uncle said earlier that the race was extinct before the zolyrous existed it be said that that race became extinct before I was also sealed there? Then who activated the seal, uncle? Doesn't that mean that they are still around? Maybe somewhere? I will look for them uncle, wherever they are, I will find them," said Wan Lie firmly.
Elder Chen finally realized the irregularity, maybe what Wan Lie said was true. The Elven race was in a place where no one knew of them.
"But you have to remember one thing if they exist then you have to find them before the Silver Blood Moon happens."
"When did it happen?"
"Less than six months from now, time is very short, but don't worry, we will also help you," replied Elder Bao.
"Thank you uncle, but I want you to stay by Fu Xie Lan's side and protect him, I don't want him to get hurt until I come back."
"Don't you think it's best to ask your father for help? He has bodyguards Bai to help you," Elder Chen suggested.
"NOT!"
"I've said before that I don't want other people to find out about Xie Lan's condition, don't you remember yesterday's incident at the library knowing that there was a half-human hanging around was enough to make people hate her, I don't want something like that to happen again," he added.
That was not the main reason, he was just trying to explain without having to reveal the real identity of his mother. Take it to dad? hah, don't joke. It was the same as putting her in danger. The black magician can appear at any time and the seal on his mother's body hasn't been lost.
Even though Lord Gu Yi had great strength but trying to avoid all kinds of dangers wasn't a bad thing to do, right?
"I have to go immediately, Uncle Chen, I want everything I need to be ready before returning from Kanca City."
Yes, Wan Lie will depart after returning from the city of Kanca, at least he wants to accompany his mother first a little longer before leaving.
"Now you can go, let me take care of Fu Xie Lan," Wan Lie ordered again as he rose from his position which was sitting on the floor.
.
.
The breeze is too cold to feel. The reflection of light coming from the eastern horizon was still not too dazzling. The morning atmosphere is still shrouded in cool due to the shady atmosphere of several trees on the side of the building which gives off the distinctive fragrance of the morning. The beginning of the day has started again and the universe has written its story again.
The slight movement caused by a girl caused the man who was sleeping by the bedside to blink several times. Realizing that the movement came from her mother, Wan Lie immediately got up.
The windows that open carry a very refreshing scent of wet earth. again, he overslept and forgot to close the window in his mother's room. Staring blankly at the outside of the window with an indescribable feeling.
"Wan Lie, what are you doing here?" a hoarse voice typical of waking up tapped the senses of hearing.
"Oh, are you awake? Good morning, Mom."
"Er."
"How about now? Does it still hurt?"
"I don't think so," said Fu Xie Lan who felt that her body was fine.
"Good."
"Thank you, Wan Lie."
"No mom, don't say like that, I'm really worried ..."
"It's okay now," interrupted Fu Xie Lan.
Kruyukk ... Kruyukk
With the reflex of Fu Xie Lan's hand holding her stomach, she suddenly felt hungry. Very hungry.
"Looks like my mother is starving. Alright, wait a moment," said Wan Lie and immediately left Fu Xie Lan's room.
Fu Xie Lan, who understood where Wan Lie was going, immediately stood up. Did not want to waste the slightest time, she chose to take a shower first. Stretch her muscles for a moment then stepped into the bathroom.
A few moments have passed. After taking a shower and having breakfast, Fu Xie Lan changed the dress she previously wore with the clothes that Wan Lie brought.
And this is where Fu Xie Lan is. Standing straight facing the mirror, staring at his reflection complete with Wan Lie's men's clothes. Even though it was a little too big on her body, it was more comfortable than wearing a dress.
She then tied her hair back without wearing any makeup and managed to reveal her long neck. Very simple but still looks elegant. If others took a glimpse of it, they might think that Fu Xie Lan was a man.
Wan Lie, who had just entered the room after obtaining permission from the owner, could only smile resignedly at his mother's behavior.
"Wan Lie," called Fu Xie Lan without taking her eyes off the mirror.
"Yes, Mom? Do you need anything?"
"Where are Elder Chen and Elder Huang Bao?"
"As usual, Elder Chen is probably in the library again, while Elder Huang Bao, I don't know, Mom," replied Wan Lie as he shrugged his shoulders casually.
"Then, I'll just ask you."
"What is that?"
"Do you know about the seal that is on my body?"
"Huh?" Wan Lie was shocked. He never thought that his mother would ask that.
"Why?"
"Er, that is fine, Mom," replied Wan Lie stuttering.
"Mom, don't think too much about the seal, trust me. The seal is harmless, and will soon disappear and stop hurting you, I promise," he continued again.
Fu Xie Lan just kept quiet hearing Wan Lie's answer, she knew very well that the man was hiding something from her, seeing his response made her not want to believe what Wan Lie said. Looks like she has to find out for herself. How could the seal on her body be harmless if the effect when the seal returned to react always made her nearly die?
"Exit!"
"Uh?"
"I want you out," Fu Xie Lan ordered in a flat voice. Finished saying that, she walked over to the table which was located not far from the window, chose one of the books then sat back on the chair beside her.
"Don't you see? I want to read and I don't like to be disturbed," she ordered again.
"But Mom, can't I just stay here?"
"No! Now, get out."
"I promise, I won't make the slightest sound," said Wan Lie pleadingly. Soon he will be gone, and now he doesn't want to be away from his mother for a second.
"Ah, it's up to you," said Fu Xie Lan. Somehow she couldn't be too harsh on the young man.
She always prevented herself from being gentle with anyone, but with that young man, she always ended up surrendering and obeying him. She was not attracted to Wan Lie, nor was she feeling like or loving. It's just that, she felt a bond that she couldn't understand herself.
