MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

NEXT DAY, EARTH**

A blue vortex opened and Den stepped out with Fen and Boi, they were all dressed like humans.

“Woah, what is this place?” Boi gasped, looking around.

“It’s earth,” Fen replied.

From the look of things they were on the mere road, a speeding car just passed them and Boi screamed.

He immediately hid at Den’s back.

“What was that?” He asked, his legs shaking really hard.

“I think it’s a vehicle,” Den replied.

“Gosh this place is so weird” Fen said, looking at everything, the houses, the trees, everywhere.

“You’ll get used to it,” Den replied.

“So highness what do we…

“It’s Angie, start calling me Angie, don’t call me highness” Den caught Boi off.

“Sorry your highness…

“What did I just tell you?” Den sighed and slapped his forehead.

“Oh my high.. I mean Angie” Boi smiled, showing off his white teeth.

“So dum,” Fen scoffed.

“So let’s give us a quick test, Fen what’s your name?” Den asked.

“Rick” Fen replied immediately.

“Boi?” Den asked.

“Angie” Boi replied and both Den and Fen glared at him.

“What isn’t it Angie?” Boi asked, looking innocent and unaware.

“Highness, I think you should send him home” Fen said and Den gave him a look.

“Sorry Angie” Fen corrected.

“Listen up Boi, your name is Elvis, once we get to the school, answer the name Elvis understood” Den instructed.

“Copied high… I mean Angie” Boi corrected.

“Good, what should you call me?” Den asked.

“Highness” Boi replied and Fen slapped his forehead.

“You’re so dum, you’re going to disgrace us” Fen complained.

“What should you call me Boi?” Den glared at him this time, his eyes turning yellow.

“Angie, yes Angie, I’ll call you Angie please don’t hurt me” Boi corrected himself immediately.

“Good, let’s go look for where to stay first” Den smiled and began leaving while they followed him.

“Angie I really don’t get, aren’t we supposed to go to bliss college first?” Fen asked.

“It’s not yet time for their exams. If you check the time is still 4:30am, humans should be sleeping by now” Den replied.

“So what are we gonna do till then?” Boi asked.

“Look for a hotel to stay, we’ll also need to get some human stuff we’ll need when we resume the school” Den replied again.

“Sorry, what is a hotel?” Fen asked.

“It’s like a small comfortable shelter for humans to settle down if they move into an environment newly or like if there’s a sudden emergency” he answered.

“Woah how do you know all these?” Boi asked, feeling amazed.

“Because I read books,” Den smiled.

“So how are we going to get to the hotel?” Fen asked

“Like this, hold my hand” he said, stretching his both hands out for them.

They held it and before they knew it, they found themselves in another place.

It was beautiful, yeah, it… They can’t even describe it.

“This is Shanghai hotel, we are in Shanghai China” Den answered their question without them asking.

“Woah, it’s beautiful, let’s go in now” Boi clapped.

“Hmm” Den nodded and walked up to the receptionist who was sleeping on a chair at the reception.

“What do we do?” Boi whispered and Fen tapped him lightly, silently telling him to keep shut.

Den cleared his throat before speaking.

“Ni hao(hello)” he waved.

The male receptionist immediately opened his eyes.

“We need a room,” Den said politely.

The receptionist sighed and sat down.

“I guess it must be so urgent for you to come this early in the morning, what are your names?” The man asked.

“I’m Angie and these are my friends, Rick and Elvis,” Den replied.

“Oh” the man nodded and did something before looking at them.

“Your room will cost 13, 000CN¥” he told them.

“No problem” Den smiled and dipped his hands in his pocket, then counted some cash, he handed it to the man.

“Room 149, here’s the key” he said to them.

Den smiled and collected it.

“Thanks, Elvis, Rick let’s go” he called out and began leaving.

Fen and Boi rushed after him immediately.

“Highness, you’re so cool” Boi gushed

“He already told you that it’s Angie” Fen snapped.

“Sorry” Boi apologized with a naughty smile.

Den just shook his head and chuckled.

Another vortex opened and Kai jumped out of it, he looked everywhere confusedly before the vortex closed.

It was like he’s on the.. A speeding car passed him and he jumped.

“What is this place?” he muttered while looking around, he looked totally lost like he didn’t know where to start.

He sighed and closed his eyes then stretched his palms and the book Chuyun gave him appeared on it.

He began opening the pages and going through it till he found out that he was on the mere road.

“What now?” he muttered and the book opened by itself.

It says, stop a cab and go to a nearby hotel.

Wait what the hell is a hotel!!, He frowned hard as he pondered on that question.

The book opened again.

~ A hotel is a small comfortable room a person can stay at, for the meantime ~

“Oh” he muttered and another car passed him again and he jumped.

“This place is too scary” he muttered and rubbed his forearm.

A taxi then stopped at his front and wined down.

“Going somewhere?” The taxi man asked

“A hotel” he replied.

“Which hotel?”

“Any” he replied.

“Alright come in, the flight hotel is not too far from here, it’ll just cost you 15 yuan” the cab said.

“Yuan?” Kia asked.

His book wanted to open again but he held it really tight.

“Money” the cab man creased his browns as he said that.

Who wouldn’t know the meaning of yuan in China??

“Oh I don’t have any money,” Kia replied.

“You don’t, just where the hell did you come from??” The cab driver snapped.

“I said I don’t have money, will you take me or not!!” Kia said angrily and something in his voice and face made the cab man shudder in fear.

“Come in, I’ll drop you, I see you’re new to China” the cab man said fearfully as he opened the door for Kia to enter.

Kia entered and closed the door, the ride was very silent because Kia had just entered with a strong aura.

The cab man finally got to the hotel and he stopped his taxi.

“We are here” he announced.

Kai nodded and came down, he took two steps forward before turning back to the cab man.

“Can you lend me some of your yuans?” He asked.

The cab man nodded as if he was brainwashed, he opened his tiny locker and brought out his money.

“Here, take them” he gave it to him.

Kia didn’t smile, he just collected it and walked out without looking back at the cab man.

He got to the reception and it turns out that he was at the same hotel with Den.

He met the male receptionist sleeping, he looked at him then looked everywhere confusedly before banging his fist on the table.

The receptionist immediately sprained up, he looked up and the moment he saw Kai’s face, he stood up and rushed to hide at the back of his chair.

Kia wasn’t surprised, when he was still at the Ouze palace, each time he came out, a lot of people started hiding from him but he didn’t care.

“Can I get a room?” He asked.

“Yes please what number?” The receptionist asked with a shaky voice.

“Huh?”

“Sorry I mean a room will cost 13, 000CN¥” he replied.

“That’s Yuan right?” Kia creased his brows.

“Yes”

Kia dipped his hands in his pocket and counted some money, in fact he didn’t know how to count it.

He just placed everything on the table.

“Count it yourself,” he said.
