BXBX NOVEL Chapter 118 - 118. Smell Of Blood
"Yes. And that perverted man," added Fu Xie Lan again.
Huang Bao reflexively turned his gaze towards Gu Yi. If that was the case, he wouldn\'t have to worry about anything anymore, along with the strongest man in the Artland World, he was certain that nothing bad would happen to his disciple.
"Alright, if you think it\'s for the best," said Huang Bao.
Fu Xie Lan nodded in response to her Teacher\'s words. "Have you ever heard of the shape or appearance of the ruby star stone?" she asked then.
"Hmm, I don\'t know about it, but don\'t worry I can find out before you leave," Huang Bao replied with a slight sigh.
"Thank you, Teacher," said Fu Xie Lan and then stepped closer to Xue Ning.
It seemed that Xue Ning was still trying to organize her feelings, being in a slightly cool place made her feel a little better.
"How do you feel?" asked Fu Xie Lan instantly making the girl\'s eyelids slowly open.
"Em, it\'s better than before," she answered instantly.
"Okay, get ready. Soon we will be next on the journey."
"Thank you," Xue Ning replied to the girl.
There was no particular reason why Fu Xie Lan treated Xue Ning so well. She only felt indebted to the girl for saving her and Wan Lie in the forest at that time.
During her life in the world, before her soul was sucked into this world, Clara had very rarely been treated very well. Only her uncle \'Raka\', but she considered it an uncle\'s obligation to his nephew, even so, she still wanted to repay all that treatment and did not think that in the end, it turned out that her uncle, who was the closest person to her, was the first to want her dead.
And now, someone she didn\'t even know in this world saved her life which was in danger. That\'s what made her care about Xue Ning so much.
Everything she receives from others she will repay tenfold. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? it has no exceptions about either.
"Teacher, maybe I can\'t follow you back to the academy," said Fu Xie Lan immediately making anyone who heard it confused. Wasn\'t their current journey to return to the academy?
"Do you have any other plans?" asked Huang Bao with a confused look on his face.
"Perhaps I should rent an inn for our temporary stay, with Ju Xian and Xue Ning around, I don\'t want to trouble Master and Elder Chen with their presence too much," explained Fu Xie Lan. Previously she had thought of following her teacher back to the academy for a while and thinking about how to obtain a lot of mana stones for her future benefit. But now, that\'s no longer the case. Getting a very large number of spirit stones from a man whose name she didn\'t know until now made her burden a little less. If her guess was correct, the man might have been from a rich family. Yes, she could only think so.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan\'s words, both Ju Xian and Xue Ning were both silents. No one can express how they feel right now.
"Okay, whatever you decide. I support it."
"So, when are you leaving for Human territory?" asked Huang Bao again immediately, and all who heard him fixed their ears carefully.
"Maybe three more days, Master?"
"I want to prepare a few things before leaving," added Fu Xie Lan.
"Alright," Huang Bao nodded.
received such a response, made a Fu Xie Lan smile behind her mask.
"Want to go now?" Suddenly a male voice came from behind her. The voice belonged to Gu Yi.
Fu Xie Lan did not immediately reply. The girl looked at the people who were with her for a moment and then agree. She just wanted to confirm the condition of Xue Ning and the others.
However, Fu Xie Lan\'s movements suddenly came to a halt. Hao who was previously curled up lazily on her shoulder suddenly jumped onto a tree branch that was directly above the girl\'s body.
\'Smell of Blood.\' At the same time, Hao\'s voice buzzed in her head.
\'Miss, I feel something.\'
The wind was blowing again, but not as fresh as before. This time it was slightly mingled with a very faint scent of blood, and it made Wan Lie and Huang Bao immediately stand up from their positions in an alert attitude. While Gu Yi, had been beside Fu Xie Lan looked like he was protecting her. As for Xue Ning and Ju Xian, the two of them also rose from their positions. Although neither of them could feel anything, their alert attitude allowed them both to immediately know that something might happen.
At that very instant, Fu Xie Lan activated her eye power. Her violet pupil moved to scan the entire area within her reach. She vaguely saw a group of six-legged creatures tearing the bodies of several people.
Without waiting any longer, the girl jumped onto a tree branch, moving agilely using tree branches as a footstool to move.
"Mom, where are you going?" shouted Wan Lie immediately following Fu Xie Lan, as well as Gu Yi who immediately followed and equalized his position with the girl.
Huang Bao was rooted to the spot, the call Wan Lie pinned to the girl made him think hard.
\'Is my hearing a problem?\'
\'Maybe it\'s just my feelings,\' he thought immediately following the three of them. Just like Huang Bao, Ju Xian also felt the same way. However, his knowledge of Xie Lan being a male made him doubt his hearing and immediately followed them from behind. As for Xue Ning, the girl wasn\'t very focused since landing at that place, let\'s say she still felt a little bit of the effects of the trip with Ju Xian earlier.
With Xue Ning\'s ability, the girl had a little trouble catching up and keeping up with everyone\'s speed. As a result, she was left far behind alone.

They moved for several minutes following Fu Xie Lan, no one knew where they were going but the smell of blood that was getting more and more distinct made anyone who sensed it immediately know that they were heading in the direction of the origin of the smell.
Ju Xian who sensed that Xue Ning was not with them immediately stopped. He wanted to tell Fu Xie Lan and the others about it, but their position was so far ahead. In the end, he chose not to do.
With a swift movement, Ju Xian jumped from branch to branch, the man turned around to look for Xue Ning. Even though he didn\'t have any relationship with the girl, seeing Fu Xie Lan treat her so well made him think that she might be someone that Xie Lan cared about.
