Chapter 27: Chapter 27. A Name

nngghhhh," the typical groaning of waking up can be heard filling the room in the morning. The girl who was unconscious for three days is now starting to show signs of waking up.

Her eyes slowly opened and immediately realized the room she was in, it was the same room as before. The wooden window that was still tightly closed became a barrier to sunlight from entering the room.

That girl is Fu Xie Lan.

Slowly but surely she got out of bed and headed for the window to open it. Immediately, the scent of the wet earth from the morning dew reached her sense of smell making her relax a little. Her body didn't hurt anymore and it seemed that there was nothing strange about her senses, everything seemed normal, and to be honest, it felt like her body felt very light now.

Vaguely she remembered what happened last night. She didn't know whether it was real or just a dream.

Fu Xie Lan, the girl started to regain consciousness last night and felt someone's presence. Her eyes which were only half-open with a slightly blurry gaze only caught the man's gray hair. One thing she could feel clearly, her hand was held and it gave a feeling of security and comfort before she fell asleep again.

Oh well, maybe it was just a flower sleep.

Knock ... knock ... knock

A knocking sound followed by the sound of the door opening could be heard causing Fu Xie Lan's attention to be diverted. A young man immediately entered the room with a tray of food in both hands. His steps stopped when he saw the figure of the girl who was standing by the window. His body trembled as his gaze collided with the girl's violet eyes.

Finally, his mother had regained consciousness. Feelings of longing filled him again. he wanted to hug the girl's body and then say I am your son, I miss you Mother, but he does not want to remember his mother's unstable condition with memories that seem to have not fully returned.

It was a conclusion in itself, based on the magic book information and explanation from Elder Chen a few days ago. Keeping his identity secret from anyone is the best thing for now. He does not want to be a burden to his mother when one day the black magician returns and finds out that Queen Yu Yi returned with an unstable soul and has a son. Yes, at least until the black magician was killed.

"Is that food for me?" a voice that sounded cold suddenly interrupted his reverie.

"Ah, y-yes, this is for you," he stuttered, then walked to the table and took another tray of food and replaced it with a new one.

As long as his mother is unconscious, he always prepares food at the table just in case his mother gets up at any time, she can immediately fill her stomach without asking, because after all his mother's physical body is a human body, and the human body is very weak.

Fu Xie Lan watched the young man prepare food for her.

"Thank you," she said.

"T-this is nothing, for the previous three days I always hoped that you would quickly get up and finish all this food," he said then brought the tray he had changed and walked out of the room. He was very awkward and confused. He wanted to talk for a long time with the girl but he did not know what to say.

Meanwhile, Fu Xie Lan, who heard the young man's answer, was stunned.

Three days? It turned out that she had been unconscious during that time.

Didn't wait long, Fu Xie Lan walked towards the table and filled her empty stomach.

When she took a bite of the last meal, the young man returned to the room and immediately made the bed without making the slightest sound. Strangely, she was not bothered by the presence of this young man, if in her previous life, let alone interacting with men, the intention to meet them was never in her life dictionary.

What's more, she doesn't like interacting with other people, she prefers to be alone. Do everything alone. The only interactions she has have been with her uncle and the people she works with within her organization's research laboratory.

Fu Xie Lan wanted to squeeze out the used food but the young man suddenly stopped her.

"Don't, let me do it," said the young man immediately clearing the table in front of Fu Xie Lan.

'Come on talk, let's say something, idiot. She's your mother. '

His mind and heart continued to collide, he was eager to speak but didn't know where to start.

"What is your name?" asked the girl suddenly.

"Ah, yes-you regarding my name I want to show you something," he said then took a breath. He took a small roll of paper from his pants pocket and gave it to Fu Xie Lan.

The girl stared flatly at the paper that was thrust at her, one eyebrow raised when she saw the inscription on the paper that was only a few names.

"Choose one if you want to thank me," said the young man pointing his finger at the paper in her hand. Fu Xie Lan didn't know what the youth in front of her wanted but she just complied.

"This one," she said after seeing a few names, she then grabbed the teapot filled with chamomile flavored tea that had been tickling her nose all this time and then poured it into the empty cup next to her.

"Okay, then my name is Gu Wan Lie," said the young man smiling at the name of the girl's choice, which was none other than his mother.

Good name, finally it has a name.

Even though he was given his name unlike other children in general, he did not care.

He also prepared the names on the paper several days in advance after asking Elder Chen and Elder Bao's opinion. He deliberately did that, because it would seem strange when he immediately asked to be named by the girl who was his mother. It's not that he can't choose his name, it's just that he wants his name to be what his mother gave him so he chose this way.

Whether it was fate or just a coincidence, his mother chose a name with the Gu surname from the many names written on the paper.

"Call me Wan Lie," said the young man smiling happily.

Fu Xie Lan, who heard the young man before her furrowed her brows in surprise.

Had this young man just told her to choose a name to make his own? Doesn't he have a name? It was strange, even though this young man was no longer a child.

"I'm Fu Xie Lan, call Xie Lan or Fu Lan," she said as she took the teacup that was filled up.

"Erm, may I call you by another name?" said Wan Lie.

"If it's alone, can I call you mother?" he added again in the lowest possible voice but still audible.

Cough ... Cough

Fu Xie Lan coughed from her tea when she heard the words of the young man who called himself Wan Lie.

'Mother? Do I have problems with my ears? If my memory is correct, would the voice I heard earlier come from this young man calling me mother? Has the world gone mad? Hey look, he looks older than me.'

"No," she said firmly.

"But why? There won't be anyone who hears it besides the two of us," said Wan Lie with a very sad expression.

"No, you have the wrong person. I'm still very young, and again I'm not married. I don't have time to play mother and child with you have a lot of things to do," said Fu Xie Lan.

She couldn't stop thinking. How can she have children at such a young age? She hasn't enjoyed the beauty of the first night and someone has offered to be her son? Hah.

"I promise I will not be a burden to you, and on the contrary, I will protect you, obey all your orders as long as you allow me to call you mother, and in front of the crowd, I will still call your name. I beg you, do you want it?" Said Wan Lie still with a very sad expression.

Fu Xie Lan was inflamed, she did not have the desire to have children but hearing the offer of the young man who called himself Wan Lie, it seemed that it would be very profitable for her. If in her previous life when she was still in the organization, she always refused help from others and did things as she pleased. This time it was completely different. She must be smart in using everything that can benefit her because living in a world that she does not know the details of makes her a little restless.

"Err ... Alright it's up to you," she said and then stood up, leaving the table, but before that, she returned to say "Ah yes Wan Lie, you can leave me now, I want to take a shower."

"Oke mom, enjoy your time," replied Wan Lie happily and then left the room.

Without Fu Xie Lan noticing, he smiled faintly at the young man's behavior.

Chapter 28: Chapter 28. Half-Human

The intensity of sunlight entering the room through the window begins to decrease. The room temperature is getting warmer as a sign that time has entered daylight.

When Fu Xie Lan finished taking a shower, she decided to take a walk around the building. Continuing to shut herself in the room would not take away her curiosity.

Like this time, she walked down the stairs to the ground floor and out of the room, her eyes sparkling to find a building with several bookshelves lined up neatly in it. She knows it because she uses the power of her eyes. The building was not too far from her. She might be able to get information about this world from some of the books there.

Not fast or slow, Fu Xie Lan walked among the several bookshelves without noticing the presence of people who were also in the room. She didn't notice that everyone's eyes were on her. Some of them looked at her with displeasure and not a few gave her looks of disgust.

Fu Xie Lan continued to focus on finding some books that might reduce her curiosity. Her steps stopped when her eyes fell on the thick brown book with the words "History of Phoenix Academy" on the cover. If her memory was correct, it seemed like she had heard of the place from Elder Chen.

'Maybe I can start there,' she thought.

Her outstretched hand to reach the book was stopped by the presence of someone who was suddenly beside her.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Fu Xie Lan who felt that someone was talking to her turned away and found a girl who was roughly the same age as her. The tall posture with a slightly plump body gives a plus to her beautiful face.

Fu Xie Lan only glanced at her then returned to the book she had wanted to grab. But before the book was touched by her, another hand suddenly took the book first. It was the girl earlier.

"What are you trying to do, huh?"

"Don't pollute this place with your presence," said the girl sarcastically.

"Give it to me," said Fu Xie Lan, completely undisturbed.

"No, why are you reading this book? You're not even from the Wizard race. I won't."

"Hi friends, look! She is human, don't you guys realize that too? After saying that, everyone who was previously only paying attention now gathered in a circle around Fu Xie Lan with an unhappy expression.

"Fei Lin, she's a half-human smell of fairy, yes I feel it in her, "said a man among the crowd.

"But still human blood was flowing in her body," shouted another.

"I was wondering, what was that girl doing in this place? This area belongs to the wizard race," said a girl who was also among the crowd.

"Let me guess. Maybe she was kicked out of her race because of the cursed blood in her body hahaha," sneered one man followed by laughter from the others.

Meanwhile, Fu Xie Lan who was treated like that gave a cold glance and remained calm. Although she did not understand some of their words, she knew that they meant her.

"See?" The girl standing in front of her made a voice again.

"Nobody likes you here, you'd better go. Your presence makes me want to throw up," she added.

The girl who was called by the name Fei Lin saw the calm reaction of the girl in front of her made her very displeased. This was the first time someone was still calm after being bullied by her.

Fu Xie Lan then turned around and left the girl with an expression that was still the same without saying a single word. Very calm and indifferent.

Fei Lin felt ignored and grew furious. No one has ever treated her like this, especially in front of a crowd. She did not accept.

"You bitch, looks like you should be taught some manners!" the girl shouted and then pulled Fu Xie Lan's hair from behind.

Reflexively, Fu Xie Lan turned around, twisted the girl's hand then lifted and slammed the girl's body into the floor.

"Don't bother me if you don't want to get hurt!" the cold voice that had managed to escape Xie Lan's mouth swiftly silenced the crowd.

The girl who had fallen on the floor rose again, anger over her. Suddenly a bright blue light shot out of her hand and managed to hit Fu Xie Lan's body. A crash sound was heard. Several books fell as a result of Fu Xie Lan's body banging hard on the bookshelf far behind her.

"Don't bother me if you don't want to get hurt? What kind of joke is that? Look at you! Don't think you're a bloody fairy and I don't dare hurt you? You better scram,"

Fu Xie Lan coughed and managed to vomit blood, the impact was very hard while her physical condition was still very weak. If in her previous life, she would not have vomited blood just because of such an impact because her body was strong and trained, so very differently from her current state.

Suddenly a thought crossed her mind. Were the pills that Elder Bao previously gave in the forbidden forest were aroma pills? And now the effect of the pill was exhausted. That way they can know that she is human. She's not so stupid as to quickly analyze everything. But what's with the Fairy race? she couldn't understand at all. If only she had considered the dangers beforehand, she would not have taken such a careless step.

Fu Xie Lan tried to get up but couldn't. She is physically very weak. It looks like she has an additional task, training her physique.

Finished wiping the blood out of her mouth, her body suddenly returned to float in the air. Her breath became tight like someone was choking her neck.

"What did you say? Try to say it again," said the girl named Fei Lin sarcastically.

The crowd was silent, no one dared to make a sound and just watched the girl torture a half-human girl. They were well aware of the consequences when it came to dealing with Fei Lan.

"Stop!" An icy cold voice suddenly stopped the girl's actions. Everyone's gaze was fixed on a man they didn't realize was sitting in a corner of the room not far from them. The hood of the black robe he wore covered half of his face, only his gray hair was exposed, giving off a mysterious impression.

"If you want to mess up, don't stay here. Just disturbing," said the man.

"And you, stop wandering around!" He added again pointing at Fu Xie Lan then left the room.

Although only a few words, it succeeded in making it difficult for them to breathe. They felt both dread and awe at the same time. That was because that man's aura was very frightening, and also very charismatic. His tall and sturdy posture, the pure white skin that was visible allowed them to guess what the face under the robe would look like.

While Fu Xie Lan, somehow she felt familiar with that man.

Fei Lin who woke up from her admiration immediately caught up with the man.

"Hey wait," she said jogging. The pain from hitting her body on the floor just disappeared.

"I've never seen you before, I am Fei Lin, may I know your name? Who knows someday you need something from me," she added offering herself again after successfully reaching the man.

"Scram," said the man coldly and left.

The answer that made Fei Lan's annoyance even worse.

A few seconds later, Wan Lie, Elder Chen, and Elder Huang Bao came together.

"What happened?" shouted Elder Chen seeing Fu Xie Lan injured on the floor with several books scattered around him. He only left the library for a few minutes and was messed up like this.
