REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

Chapter 369 - 369. Goodwill

After exiting the underground tunnel, they did not immediately leave the place. With feelings of worry and trepidation, everyone waited for Fu Xie Lan to arrive.

Until late at night, no one moved from their place.

Suddenly a blue light flashed from inside the tunnel, making them all gasp. Awaiting a figure who will appear soon.

Seeing the girl in the white dress inside, reflex made Zhou, Wan Li, and the others heave a sigh of relief.

Xue Ning immediately stepped forward and helped Fu Xie Lan up.

"Why are you guys looking at me like that?" asked Fu Xie Lan when she first set foot in the Jun family clan's territory.

They all looked at the girl with a researching gaze from head to toe. Including Xue Ning who was standing right next to her.

"Xie Lan, what happened?" Xue Ning finally spoke.

Those who were asked just shrugged their shoulders without answering.

"I heard there was an explosion earlier," Xue Ning said again.

"I think something happened to you. Makes me worried and uneasy."

"Seeing you are fine now, I feel happy," said the girl again.

"Thank you for worrying about me," said Fu Xie Lan.

"Miss, how did you escape the pursuit of those Vampires?" Zhou asked curiously.

Fu Xie Lan froze on the spot, speechless. ." I...I walked away," she replied. It's impossible if she answers that all the vampires that were chased before had been slaughtered by Hao.

"Eh?" The Wang twins' brows furrowed in confusion.

"Think of it as my luck to escape them," said Fu Xie Lan again.

Hearing the girl's answer, it seems that Zhou is not satisfied.

"Sir, did you hear the explosion?" Xue Ning asked turning to look at the man behind her.

Zhou nodded.

"Perhaps it was Fu Xie Lan's way of distracting them so they could escape from there," Xue Ning guessed.

Zhou's brow furrowed making the girl roll her eyes in embarrassment.

"I guessed right, Xie Lan?"

"Emm...let's just say so," replied Fu Xie Lan immediately, and it managed to get rid of the wrinkles on Zhou's forehead.

While on the other hand, Ju Xian and Wan Lie had different thoughts, both of them fully understood that Fu Xie Lan would never do such a small and kind thing after being abused.

"Is this already in the Wang family clan territory?" asked Fu Xie Lan again, diverting their conversation.

Zhou immediately turned his gaze to the source of the voice, "That's right, Miss," he responded.

Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan looked around and saw only the forest as far as her eyes could see. The difference was, the forest in front of her was not as dense as the one in the Jun family clan's territory, the black shadows of the trees lined up neatly in the moonlight.

"Where are we next?" Fu Xie Lan asked.

"Earlier you said you wanted to meet Wang Chu, didn't you?" Zhou asked again to make sure.

Fu Xie Lan nodded in approval.

"You can't meet him," said Zhou very clearly

"Eh? What do you mean?" said Xue Ning immediately.

"Didn't you previously ask us to follow you to meet Wang Chu?" she added again.

"It's true, Miss. We did that because we didn't want the Jun family to find you."

"I know that you are wizards, and races like ours don't enter your eyes at all. However, the Jun Family Clan will not pity anyone who enters its territory. Forgive us both, Miss," Zhou explained at length.

"Heh? You guys taking advantage of us?" Xue Ning slightly raised her voice.

"You know that people from the Jun family clan are roaming the area over there, so with that, you brought us with you to escape them all? You're so clever," Xue Ning accused, she couldn't believe the actions of the two Vampires in front of her.

"No, no, Miss. You are wrong. We had no intention of doing that to you."

"Besides, what courage do we have to have the intention of taking advantage of some mages like you?" Zhou added again.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan just silently listened to the two of them arguing.

"Then? What did you mean?"

"Why can't we meet Wang Chu?" asked Xue Ning.

"Th-that, because..."

"Alright, stop arguing," said Fu Xie Lan, cutting Zhou's sentence. This kind of thing wasn't something she should be fussing about. Elder Huang Bao asked them to see Wang Chu ask for help in obtaining temporary housing, as well as other necessities.

So if she could get something similar from someone else, why should she still snicker at the man named Wang Chu? This is not the main goal. And Fu Xie Lan didn't need to waste time just because of that one person.

"You said that we couldn't meet Wang Chu?"

Zhou nodded faintly, both confused and worried that his good intentions had suddenly turned into such accusations.

"No problem."

"Because we have helped you out of the Jun family clan territory. That means you must repay," said Fu Xie Lan later. A sentence that has a demanding impression.

For a moment, Zhou and Chou froze on the spot then exchanged glances.

"But first, we would like to make it clear that we have no intention as you said earlier," Zhou replied in one breath, occasionally glancing over to where Xue Ning was.

"Um, it's up to you. If that's what you say then that's the truth," Fu Xie Lan replied nonchalantly.

"Thank you, Miss. So what can we do to repay you?" Zhou asked, in his heart, he hoped that their request would not be something beyond his control.

Xue Ning and the others only heard the conversation of the two figures. No one dared to interrupt. Because all decisions are in the hands of Fu Xie Lan. Whatever it is, they just have to obey and follow it, even though lives are at stake. Except for Xue Ying. Up until now, that man had followed Fu Xie Lan only because of the existence of Xue Ning. He no longer had anyone in this world, so the only thing he could do was obey his young sister's wishes and protect her as best he could.

Hearing Zhou's response, a faint smile rose on Fu Xie Lan's lips. If she could easily get what they needed, why should she go the hard way?

"We need temporary shelter," said Fu Xie Lan in a voice neither high nor low.

"Is that all Miss?"

"For now, we only need that. If we need anything later, I'll tell you guys," Fu Xie Lan replied in that instant.

"All right, Miss," Zhou replied.

"Thank You."

"In that case, do you want to rest for a while or do you want to leave now?" Zhou asked again.

"Leave now," Fu Xie Lan replied curtly.

The vampire just nodded and then turned around, dashing into the forest followed by the others.
