REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Xie Lan, we have to stop them," said Xue Ning, turning back to where the girl was.

"No need."

"We'd better catch up with Teacher Liu. Just leave them alone," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Eh? Didn't you get the ruby ​​star stone already? I thought we were going back to witch territory," Xue Ning asked in confusion.

"It's not a bad thing if we stay a little longer, after all since you're all here, why not stay and help the fairies first before returning?" said Fu Xie Lan.

Xue Ning took a moment to digest Fu Xie Lan's words then said, "Alright. If that's for the best," the girl replied.

The Center the Ruins

______________

The orange light that spread across the horizon seemed to spread out and then slowly dissipate.

It indicates that the night has begun to lurk, the breeze blows bringing a refreshing sensation, along with the sound of the night animals which also slowly tickle the senses of hearing.

Some of the fairies had already taken healing pills. While the others are still waiting their turn.

Even though it had been a while, Teacher Liu and the other fairies had started distributing healing pills to the injured fairies, but they hadn't finished yet, and that indirectly made it clear that the number of injured fairies was huge.

Even Master Liu was already feeling worried, afraid that the healing pills wouldn't be enough.

Not only that, since his arrival, he had never seen Master Shin around him, no matter where he was. Or maybe it's just his feeling?

Whereas Teacher Liu didn't know, that Leader Fryz of Core Region was deliberately avoiding him, even as far away as possible. Do not dare to meet let alone make trouble with him.

If Master Shin had any need for Teacher Liu, he would only ask a few of his subordinates to carry it out. All of this he did because he was afraid of the girl.

After this incident, there were no further plans from the fairies. They just waited patiently for the King's return from the Demon Palace while waiting for the Queen's condition to recover.

Not a single house or inn was left from the disaster. So the fairies could only use their mana to create houses out of vines, houses they could live in for a while.

The Fairies left were those who had taken the shape-shifting pill before, while those who remained with their original bodies couldn't be found anywhere, except for the forest fairies and guardian fairies.

Likewise with Nectar which they should consume once a week. Because the nectar-producing flowers that they can consume are also destroyed. So the only thing they can do is be patient.

Be patient until their territory recovers, although it can't return to the way it was before, at least the area is decent for them to live in.

The sky was already dark, some of the fairies had recovered and regained their senses.

Even so, Fu Xie Lan and the others still helped as best they could.

***

It was very late at night, some of them had returned to rest, while others were still busy.

"Thank you Elder for taking your time to help us here," said Teacher Liu right after landing his body on the small rock, joining Elder Huang Bao, Fu Xie Lan, and those he didn't know by name.

Teacher Liu had known the old man for years, that phoenyx academy elder was the type of person who didn't want to do anything if it was not at all beneficial to him. Therefore, he was a little surprised when he saw that Elder Huang Bao had stepped in to help.

"It's nothing, I did it also because of Fu Xie Lan, my disciple," said Elder Huang Bao.

"Nevertheless, we will still be grateful, Elder," replied Master Liu.

"Teacher Liu, may I ask you something?" said Xue Ning who was sitting between Fu Xie Lan and Xue Ying.

Immediately everyone glanced in the direction Xue Ning was in. Receiving such a gaze, she just smiled.

"What is it? If I knew about it, I would answer," Teacher Liu replied.

"I wonder, why did the core region get destroyed? Does Master Liu know the cause?" Xue Ning asked as she fiddled with the piece of twig in her hand.

"Hmm, I don't know."

"Not only me, but all the fairies here, none of them know the cause."

"I think maybe it's because the area is very old, and it can't maintain its position up there anymore," said Teacher Liu.

At that time, he was just about to rest at his residence in the Zephyr Academy, but a sudden vibration occurred, causing him to immediately fly out by way of the window.

After saying that, silence fell again.

"Has the core region already existed since the Fairy Territory have been formed, Uncle?" Fu Xie Lan's voice managed to distract everyone.

"Why do you ask like that, little girl?" Instead of answering, Teacher Liu asked back.

"I'm just curious, Uncle. Because so far I have never encountered a land that can float in the air," replied Fu Xie Lan. She had asked Jiao and Master Zyn the same thing, but their answers did not satisfy her at all.

"I don't know, I thought it might have formed naturally?" Teacher Liu guessed, he also just thought of this.

In his entire life, he had never asked even once about the whereabouts of the core region. Because everything seems to be normal, and it's not a strange thing to ask. Yes, maybe because the core region existed before he was born.

Whereas on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan just sighed deeply. The second time he met the same answer.

Then what was the meaning of the old woman's words earlier?

This region has returned to its original shape? It means something happened so the core region could form.

But hearing the answers from different fairies, everything contradicted the old woman's words.

Where else should she ask?

"Is something bothering you, Xie Lan?" Wan Lie asked, his voice so cold yet gentle at the same time it reached everyone's ears.

Since earlier, he had seen the small wrinkles that appeared on Fu Xie Lan's forehead, and they had not gone unnoticed.

"No. I'm fine," Fu Xie Lan replied immediately.

While on the other hand, Elder Huang Bao who had been listening to the conversation suddenly took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

"I've heard something from my ancestors," he said instantly making everyone look at him.
