Chapter 259 – 259. The King Among Kings
"Oh, it's probably because my body is exhausted, Master. Don't worry. I'm fine now," she replied again.
"Hmm, All right," said Huang Bao. He wanted to ask why his disciple had left Elder Chen's residence but hesitated because he felt it was inappropriate to ask someone who the Sovereign of this world seemed to care deeply about.
What courage did she have to ask why they were in this place.
Even though he was Fu Xie Lan's Master, he had a certain fear within her. So that until now, he just kept his attitude and never asked anything of only his disciple, as is usually the case between Master and Disciple.
"Want to tour the academy?" asked Huang Bao a little doubtfully.
"No, Master. I came out looking for you."
Hearing that, Elder Bao was silent.
"I want to ask you something if you have some spare time, Master," said Fu Xie Lan again.
"Oh sure, sure. I'll always have some free time if it's for you, kid," Huang Bao replied.
"Is that true?"
"Of course, whatever it is please ask me," Huang Bao replied immediately.
Fu Xie Lan wanted to open her mouth again but Huang Bao spoke again.
"But not here. You've just recovered, we'd better go back to Elder Chen's residence and have a casual talk there," he said.
"You can ask me anything you want," he added.
"Ok, Master," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Drink it to relax your body a bit," said Huang Bao after putting down a cup of chamomile-scented tea.
"Thank you, Master," Fu Xie Lan replied
Currently, they were already at Elder Chen's residence.
Not only Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi, and Elder Bao, but Ju Xian and Xue Ying were also there.
As for Xue Ning and Wan Lie, no one knows where those two are.
"So what do you want to ask?" said Huang Bao after getting the most comfortable position.
"Master still remember the first time we met?" asked Fu Xie Lan starting.
"You mean in the forbidden forest?"
Fu Xie Lan nodded in response.
"Of course I still remember it."
"Master once said that you are also of fairy blood."
"Right, is something bothering you kid?"
Fu Xie Lan seemed to reach into her cosmic bag and took out a brown scroll from it.
"Master, take a look!" said Fu Xie Lan holding out the scroll.
Immediately Huang Bao grabbed it and opened it.
And at that moment, his hands trembled without realizing it after reading the writing on the scroll.
"Th-this…."
"That's right, Master. I got another clue," said Fu Xie Lan as if she knew what was in Huang Bao's head.
Hearing this, Huang Bao froze on the spot, slowly scanning the image on the scroll in his hand.
"Why is this place separate?" he muttered.
"And there are only three regions? There should be several," he muttered again as if talking to himself.
"Master knows something about the three regions?"
Huang Bao glanced at where Gu Yi was for a moment then looked back at Fu Xie Lan.
"I feel like I've seen this map before, but I forgot where to see it," he replied again.
"This map is incomplete, kid."
"I know, Master," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"It is the territory of the Fairy, Vampire, and Werewolf races," added Fu Xie Lan again.
Again, Huang Bao froze on the spot hearing the girl's words.
Meanwhile, Ju Xian and Xue Ying seemed to occasionally peek at the map in Elder Bao's grasp.
"Don't tell me that you intend to the territory?" said Huang Bao as if he had just realized the meaning of the scroll in his hand.
"Unfortunately, I have to go, Master. For the sake of a ruby star stone," replied Fu Xie Lan.
Hearing that, Huang Bao suddenly remembered the question he wanted to ask when he first met Fu Xie Lan yesterday.
"Is all going well in Human territory?"
"As Master can see, I came back sooner than I expected."
"Good," he replied, and at that moment Huang Bao truly believed that the Elf race still existed in this world.
It's just, isn't that Race a little outrageous? Didn't the Elf Race know that the girl they asked to collect the pieces of their nation's heirloom was very close to the Lord of this world? Huang Bao could not imagine the fate of that race after meeting such a tyrannical Lord.
"So what do you want to ask me, little girl?"
"I don't know where the Fairy Race's territory is, Master. The map is just a picture with no description at all. I can't find any clues just by looking at the contents of the scroll," said Fu Xie Lan.
Hearing that, Elder Bao glanced back at where Lord Gu Yi was, but unfortunately, the ruler had only been sitting with one hand resting on the sofa handle, propping his chin with his face facing Fu Xie Lan and just staring at her as if he had no intention of shifting his gaze to another direction.
"Fairy race territory?" repeated Huang Bao.
Fu Xie Lan nodded hearing that.
"That race borders the territory of the mermaid race," Huang Bao replied.
"Fairy dwellings are not like the other races. Their territory is divided into two, land areas, and floating areas," explained Huang Bao.
One of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows rose, slightly confused by the teacher's explanation.
Seeing the girl's response, Huang Bao took a deep breath and then continued.
"My explanation may be a little confusing, but what I say is true. You have to see it for yourself to understand what I'm saying," Huang Bao said again.
"So you mean, that territory of Fairy race floats in the air? I see?"
"So true, kid."
"So what if I want to go to that place, Master?" asked Fu Xie Lan, if the territory is in the air, how does she enter it?
"The only way is to fly or get help from one of them," Huang Bao retorted.
"And also they never allow anyone to enter Fairy's territory without the permission of their leaders."
"You mean their King?"
"Yes, all races have a king, kid. But even so, of all the kings, the most powerful among them was the Demon race. The king among kings is him. The leader of all races is the current Demon Lord."
"I thought you had read this part of the books back then, kid," said Huang Bao again.
Right, Fu Xie Lan had read that part. How could she forget?
