Chapitre 35: Chapter 35. Was it just a dream?
"It turns out that after being reborn, your habit of sleeping anywhere does not change," said the figure with a smile etched on his lips.
Gently approached Fu Xie Lan, rubbed her cheeks affectionately, removed some of the hair that covered part of her face, and then landed a kiss gently on Fu Xie Lan's forehead.
"This necklace, I hope you take good care of it," rubbed the ruby pendant on Fu Xie Lan's necklace. Another reason why the two old men didn't sense Fu Xie Lan's existence was because of the necklace. Apart from being able to temporarily protect her from the effects caused by the Soul Cover Rune seal, the necklace was also able to disguise her existence.
After saying so, his gaze turned to Fu Xie Lan's cloth-wrapped feet.
"Hmm, your human body also turns out to be very troublesome for you," he whispered.
Slowly but surely he carried Fu Xie Lan's body into his arms very carefully and then disappeared.

Braakkkkk...
Suddenly the sound of the door slamming forcibly became the voice actor in the morning and made Fu Xie Lan who was still asleep suddenly wake up. The first thing he saw was the figure of Wan Lie staring at him anxiously.
Finding her mother in a fine state made Wan Lie breathe a sigh of relief. It was not without reason that he became so worried because after he woke up in the morning, he did not feel his mother's presence as clearly as usual.
"What's the matter? Why is your face so messed up?" Fu Xie Lan asked when she found Wan Lie's face, which had lost its color, turned pale, coupled with hair that was still disheveled, a typical wake-up model. Stretching her body muscles a little because her sleep was startled by the sudden arrival of Wan Lie, she then left her bed and headed for the table near the window to pour a glass of water to give to Wan Lie.
However, she felt something was wrong. Suddenly she turned around and stared at Wan Lie intensely then headed for the window, giving out her gaze. Her pupils stopped at a piece of white cloth lying under the tree, she knew very well that the piece of cloth was the remnant of her clothes which she tore to bandage her sprained leg.
"Sprain?"
Moving his leg, walking back and forth just to make sure he sprained it. However he didn't find it, his leg was fine as if he had never suffered an injury before. And again, who brought him back to his room?
"Mother, is there something bothering you?" asked Wan Lie who saw his mother's unusual behavior, suddenly Wan Lie's voice distracted Fu Xie Lan.
"Erm, what did you do last night?"
"After coming back from here, I decided to rest early why, do you ask like that? "
"Oh no, it's okay. You better come back. It's too early and your face is very uncomfortable to look at," said Fu Xie Lan trying to cover up the awkwardness she felt.
Wan Lie, who heard his mother, only smiled awkwardly as he rubbed the nape of his neck.
"Hehehe, alright. I'm sorry if I startled you. then I'll go first," Wan Lie bowed with a smile, then left where he was standing.
Seeing that the door to her room was closed, Fu Xie Lan immediately examined her leg, and sure enough, she did not find any sign of her leg injury.
"Who can heal my leg?"
While thought about it, she made the bed. Her hand movements suddenly stopped when she found a strand of gray hair. If it is not observed, other people might think that the hair is just gray hair, but it is different if the one who found it is Fu Xie Lan. It was not white hair but gray hair. Reflexively her other hand picked up part of her hair, comparing it to that strand of hair
The difference in hair color is so contrasting. Black and gray. Not yet convinced of herself, Fu Xie Lan approached the mirror and examined her hair carefully.
"This hair is not mine. Then, whose? And why is it in my bed? "
Thinking of all the possibilities gave Fu Xie Lan goosebumps all over. Deep in thought while watching her reflection in the mirror. As if struck by lightning, she realized something else.
"These aren't the clothes I wore last night either."
"Was it just a dream?"
"No! There's no way I could dream of something that feels so real, especially when the cloth left of my dress is visible in there. Then, what happened, why the injury on my leg healed, my clothes changed, and if my memory is clear I fell asleep under a tree last night."
Huang Bao, yes only Huang Bao can help her determine whether what she experienced last night was real or just a flower sleep.
***
At this time, Fu Xie Lan was descending the stairs with Wan Lie. They will meet Elder Huang Bao.
Knock ... knock ... knock ...
The sound of knocking on the door was heard in the room where Huang Bao was staying. Before Wan Lie reached Fu Xie Lan's room a while ago, he had seen Elder Bao enter that room.
knock ... knock ... knock ...
One second...
Two seconds...
No reply...
Knock ... knock ... knock ...
Wan Lie tried for the third time but still didn't get an answer.
"Are you sure Elder Bao is inside?" asked Fu Xie Lan doubtfully.
"I saw him enter this room earlier when I was heading to mother's room,"
"Then why isn't there an answer?"
"…" Shrugged his shoulders as a sign that Wan Lie didn't know either.
"Yes, let's go!"
"Where?"
"Seeing Elder Chen, maybe he knows where Huang Bao is."
"In the library? But mom ..."
"It's still too early, Elder Chen probably hasn't left this residence yet," interrupted Fu Xie Lan.
Wan Lie, who heard his mother's words, could only obey, so far, if he was honest, he wanted to ask his mother a few questions but did not have the courage. He was afraid that it might make his mother feel uncomfortable around him.
"Mom, are you ok?"
"Ahh ... Wan Lie, this is the tenth time you've asked me that this morning, I told you I'm fine. Stop worrying about me," explained Fu Xie Lan.
She was not used to someone worrying so much about her. It was good if someone was worried about her, but Wan Lie's way was a little too much in her opinion. They had just gotten to know each other and got attached to the mother-child relationship game which still made little sense to her. She was no longer a child to worry about all the time.
However, it was different for Wan Lie. Even though his mother said that she was fine, it did not reduce the restlessness in his heart. How could he not worry, right now he was very close to his mother but could not feel her presence, neither the smell of a Half-Human nor the aura of the figure who was his real mother? He did not realize since when it happened, but it was all so clear when he woke up in the early hours of the morning.
