Chapter 116 – 116. Trip To The City Gate
Seeing that, Ju Xian stood up from his position and immediately helped Huang Bao who looked a bit troubled to carry the wooden box.
"Let me help you, Sir," he offered.
"It's okay, I can use my magic to move it, it's just that I want to exercise my muscles that seem to be getting stiffer," Huang Bao replied.
Ju Xian did not return to his original place after his offer was rejected but instead turned to follow the old man from behind. After he was allowed by Fu Xie Lan to join them, he had already decided to help everyone in the room as best he could.
"We'd better leave early," said Fu Xie Lan then got a nod from everyone.
"Ah yes Xie Lan, the City Master apologizes to you and Ju Xian for not being able to visit while at this inn, and again she hopes that we can forgive and forget about the uncomfortable events that happened in her City," said Wan Lie when everyone was ready to leave the place.
"She will send a message if she has found the perpetrator of the explosion," added Xue Ning again.
"Alright, that's fine," Fu Xie Lan replied.
Meanwhile, Ju Xian who was behind Huang Bao looked at Fu Xie Lan with an indescribable look.
'How could they send a message like that to the culprit themselves?' Either Ju Xian should laugh or cry hearing the contents of Kanca City Master's message.
"Master, leave the box to me," said Fu Xie Lan suddenly stepping closer to Huang Bao.
"Ah it's okay, I can do it myself. After all, you've heard before right cal….."
The old man's words stopped when he saw the large box easily put into a small bag.
"Take it easy. Master's belongings will be safe with me," she said immediately resuscitating Huang Bao.
"May I see the bag?" asked Huang Bao. He had indeed heard and seen a bag that was said to be able to store any object without fear that the bag would be full.
It's been hundreds of years. And now he saw the same bag again. If only he could have it, he might be the luckiest wizard in the world. Because with that bag, he could use it to store all kinds of pills and concoctions he made, not to mention the hundreds of herbs, no, even thousands and he could carry it everywhere. Just thinking about it made him very excited.
But what the hell, he didn't know where he could get a bag like that. Never mind, being owned by Fu Xie Lan who incidentally is his student is enough to make him feel happy.
"Isn't this the cosmic bag?" asked Huang Bao to confirm, his hands and eyes seemed reluctant to let go of it.
"That's right, Master."
"Lucky, I hope you can use it very well, kid," Huang Bao exclaimed returning the cosmic bag to its owner.
"Let's go. looks like the carriage is waiting ahead," Wan Lie said, distracting everyone.
"Remember, keep it safe. Don't lose it," said Huang Bao to Fu Xie Lan, then left the inn, followed by the others.
"Okay, Master." The girl took the last step along with Gu Yi beside her and Hao who was curled up as usual on her shoulders.
They took the train to the gate to save time, considering that it was quite a distance if one only wanted to go on foot.
"Can I ask something?" Fu Xie Lan's voice suddenly broke the silence in the carriage.
"Anything, Queen," the man replied with a gentle smile.
"Where did you get this thing?" asked the girl with one hand taking out the cosmic bag she had previously kept under her robes.
"That thing belongs to one of my family," Gu Yi replied.
"If it belongs to your family, why did you take it and give it to me?"
"They don't need it anymore."
"Is it true?"
Gu Yi nodded.
"Does that mean all your family members have things like this?" asked Fu Xie Lan feeling amazed at the man's words.
"No, just a few," Gu Yi replied immediately.
"Maybe sometime I can visit them to say thank you, even though they don't need it anymore, but to me, this thing is very valuable to me and I think I should thank the owner," said Fu Xie Lan with a big smile.
"I doubt you can do it, honey," Gu Yi replied with a bland smile.
"They're dead," he added again when he saw the confused look on the girl's face. All his family had indeed death, the incident seven hundred years ago which caused all the families and even race of the demons to be destroyed by the cunning of the black witch who suddenly appeared and only left him live alone.
Hearing that, the smile that was plastered on the girl's luscious lips suddenly faded.
"S-sorry, I don't know," she said uncomfortably.
"It's fine," Gu Yi replied immediately.
'Besides, you are here, my wife,' he thought again.
"You want it again?"
"What?" Fu Xie Lan asked confused.
"Cosmic bag."
"No, no. One is enough for me. Besides, you shouldn't give like this precious thing to me either," said the girl.
"I'll take it out and give it to you right away," he added.
"Don't refuse. something I gave you, I will not take it back. After all, it's of no use to me at all," Gu Yi said. The things like that are not of much use to the demon race, a race that whenever they go, other races will submit and obey their wishes. He was also surprised when he learned that some of the demon palace families collect useless objects like that.
"If you want more, just say so, I still have some."
"Before I burn everything," he added.
"No, don't burn it," said Fu Xie Lan immediately. Her original intention was to ask the man in front of her about the cosmic bag because she wanted to ask for some for her Master, the girl wanted to give it to Huang Bao. But she did not expect that asking about it would lead them to a discussion which she thought was very sensitive, and in the end, she decided to bury her intentions and chose to end the conversation.
"Better give it to me than you burn it," added Fu Xie Lan again. something as good as that would be a pity to burn.
Hearing this, Gu Yi chuckled. "As you wish, Queen." He pretended to say that he was going to burn the bag, he just wanted to make Fu Xie Lan say her true wish without needing to keep it to herself. Before leaving the inn, he had expected something like this to happen. But because of his mistake, which he didn't realize, the girl seemed reluctant to say what she wanted.
"If you want something, tell me, I will give it to you even if it means giving up my own life," said Gu Yi. For this he meant it.
"Don't overdo it, you perverted master."
And then both of them smiled without them knowing.
