Chapter 201 – 201. Jealous
"Me too, honey," Gu Yi suddenly appeared and embraced Fu Xie Lan's body from the side.
Seeing that man, Fu Xie Lan rolled her eyes in embarrassment.
"This is for you," replied Fu Xie Lan step on the man's foot.
Bai Mo and Bai Xue suddenly wanted to go forward but were stopped by Gu Yi's sharp gaze, in the end, the two of them didn't move an inch from where they were standing.
Who exactly is that woman?
Why did Lord Gu Yi seem to be submissive to her?
Those questions filled Bai Xue's mind.
"You are heartless, honey" Gu Yi lamented at the girl.
Bai Xue was stun by the word of the Ruler. It was the first time in seven hundred years that his ears had heard Lord Gu Yi behave like that towards another person.
"Don't be spoiled, your body is fine," said Fu Xie Lan ignoring the man and approaching Xue Ning.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan's words, Gu Yi smiled faintly. "Do I have to get hurt first to get something from you?" he said then.
"How are you feeling now?" the girl said to Xue Ning, ignoring Gu Yi's words made the man bend his face.
"A little better," Xue Ning replied. The bleeding on her body stopped, and the wound closed.
"Me too, Xie Lan," Ju Xian said when he saw the girl turn to him.
"Thank you," they both said at the same time.
Fu Xie Lan just nodded in response to the two.
"Back now?" asked Gu Yi approaching the girl.
"Wait a minute," she replied.
"When you feel better, change your clothes immediately," said Fu Xie Lan to Ju Xian and Xue Ning.
They couldn't possibly return to the palace with that appearance, even though, they sneaked into the palace, but still, they shouldn't be careless and miss even the slightest thing.
Xue Ning nodded, she sheck noticed the strange man far behind Fu Xie Lan. It was the first time she had seen the man.
"Um… Xie Lan… umm may I ask?" she said in a voice so small but still able to reach everyone's sense of hearing.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"That.. over there, who is he?" Xue Ning said pointing at the man.
Following Xue Ning's gaze, Fu Xie Lan's eyes fell on Hao.
"He is Hao," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"Huh? Hao?" Xue Ning then scanned Fu Xie Lan's body, she couldn't find the fluffy little creature anywhere.
"Really? Hao the cute creature?"
Fu Xie Lan nodded in response.
"So… you've been carrying such a handsome man all this time?"
Immediately the air temperature around them turned cold and eerie.
"No. I mean… umm um… that…" Xue Ning stuttered. She did not realize that such a terrible man was with them.
"Right," Fu Xie Lan nodded seeing the girl in front of her suddenly stuttering.
Alright, don't scare her," said Fu Xie Lan again turning to Gu Yi. The man's previously cold expression suddenly warmed when Fu Xie Lan looked at him.
As soon as a sigh of relief escaped Xue Ning's lips, she immediately rose from her position.
"I'd better get changed my clothes first, Xie Lan," she said and then walked away. Meanwhile, Ju Xian also rose from his position and did the same.
Hao who had been in his human form since earlier turned back to his previous form.
But the creature remained on the ground, playing in the ground with its short legs, making Fu Xie Lan who saw him feel pity.
If only the creature wasn't a man, maybe now she would have hugged and stroked his fur.
"Come here," said Fu Xie Lan, bowing to the white creature.
Slowly but surely, Hao moved closer to Fu Xie Lan. However, his body had not yet reached the girl and a pair of sturdy hands lifted his body into the air. The hand belonged to Gu Yi.
"Don't even think about getting close to Xie Lan!!" said the man as he threw the little creature to Wan Lie.
Immediately the young man caught Hao's small body.
"You take care of that creature. Don't let it get close to Fu Xie Lan," he added.
Wan Lie gaped, no, even his two bodyguards did the same.
Is that ruler now jealous of the magic beast spirit too?
You're the patient one," muttered Wan Lie stroking Hao's thick fur. The creature was silent, snuggled into the young man's shoulder. He even seemed reluctant to lift his head, afraid if his eyes would meet the man's eyes.
Fu Xie Lan, who saw Gu Yi's treatment of Hao, frowned in annoyance.
"What are you doing?" the girl asked Gu Yi.
Immediately the man turned to the source of the voice, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"I'm just protecting you, honey," Gu Yi said.
"Protect me?"
"Umm… I don't want that creature to have evil intentions towards you," Gu Yi replied lightly.
"I even doubt, the person I might have to watch out for is you," the girl said, rolling her eyes.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan's words, Gu Yi chuckled.
"I'm done," Xue Ning's voice came from behind.
And before long, Ju Xian also appeared. Each with a new suit.
"Back now?" Gu Yi repeated.
Fu Xie Lan nodded, and at the same time, her body lifted.
Gu Yi carried her.
Fu Xie Lan struggled to break free but she couldn't do it.
"Shut up, honey. I don't want you to be tired," Gu Yi said then left.
Fu Xie Lan who heard him was silent. She didn't struggle anymore, it was useless if she tried to escape if the man had grabbed her. Just a waste of energy. Be the girl was silent and just obey.
Gu Yi, Fu Xie Lan, Wan Lie, Xue Ning, and Ju Xian moved in unison, come back to the Zu royal palace. Don't forget Hao who is with Wan Lie.
As for Bai Mo and Bai Xue, the two bodyguards stayed behind. Keep an eye on the area where the explosion occurred.
Even if the tower is gone, there is no guarantee that black witches will not reappear in the area.

Moving quietly into the palace, there were several people standing guard around the moon pavilion, some of them occasionally patrolling.
Even so, the five of them managed to get past the people guarding down there without being caught in the slightest.
Return to their respective rooms and recover nearly depleted mana.
Xue Ning managed to enter the room without being noticed by her roommate who seemed to be still asleep.
Wan Lie was with Ju Xian and Hao.
As for Fu Xie Lan, the girl was with Gu Yi and no furry little creature among them.
At this time, it was already early in the morning, the girl immediately rested her body, as well as Gu Yi who was always beside her.
The two then fell asleep with each giving each other warmth.
