The Last Queen of Peacelava
CHAPTER 36
In the countryside, Jiang Li, Lui Wei were also some soldiers were dispersing to look for Xin Qian's whereabouts.
Everyone in the countryside was very scared and ran around seeing the arrival of Jiang Li as well as his troops, as they had learned that Jiang Li was someone who was extremely ruthless.
"Wait on! Did you see Her Majesty the Queen pass through this village?"
"I'm sorry Soldier, but I don't see His Majesty passing through this village."
"All right, you can go."
The soldiers asked the Queen whereabouts to everyone they met, but no one knew of the Queen's whereabouts.
Jiang Li was very upset with Xin Qian for leaving the palace without asking her permission, whereas Lui Wei only smiled looking at the upset Jiang Li.
"Xin Qian, I hope you won't return to this land again," Inner Lui Wei.
Jiang Li who was really angry, now he called his favorite crow Bingjie.
As Bingjie flew over the rural sky, the people were increasingly frightened and closed their doors and windows. Because they had never seen such a big and ferocious bird before.
Bingjie landed right in front of Jiang Li and paid her respects.
"Your Majesty, is there anything I should do for you?" bingjie asked Jiang Li.
"Bingjie, I want you to find out where Xin Qian is currently. He had left the palace without asking my permission. Don't you hurt him, you just have to bring him in front of me. I will teach him a lesson myself" Jiang Li told Bingjie.
Lui Wei who heard that Jiang Li did not want Bingjie to hurt Xin Qian, did not agree with Jiang Li.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Bingjie just kill him?" ask Lui Wei.
"Lui Wei, why do you keep interfering in my affairs? If I want Bingjie to not hurt Xin Qian, then Bingjie should do as I say. What's problem?" reply Jiang Li with a kettle.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
"Bingjie, do your job right now!"
"Okay, Your Majesty."
Jiang Li walked over and left Lui Wei. Lui Wei stomped her feet and put on an angry face.
"I won't let you fall in love with that woman, Jiang Li. If you don't want Bingjie to kill him, then I'll kill him with my own hands" Inner Lui Wei.
Lui Wei went to follow Bingjie without Jiang Li's knowledge.

Zhang Pei and Xin Qian continued their journey to head to the ice forest, their steps suddenly stopped when they saw the animals in the forest dying because the lake which was once full of clear water and was the only source of water in the forest was now dry.
They approached the animals and asked what was really going on. The animals said that the evil demon had taken water from the lake in a big way. The evil demons did not leave a little water for the forest animals.
Xin Qian who was easily pityed, she immediately walked closer to the dried lake. The water element is his main force, he takes the land from the lake and then recites a spell to the land he took. After that he threw the land back into the lake. Suddenly clear water emerged from the ground and slowly made the lake filled with water again.
"Who are you? Why can you make this lake full of water again?" ask one of the animals to Xin Qian.
"My name is Xin Qian" he replied.
"Xin Qian's? I've heard that name."
"Are you the Queen of the land of Peacelavia?"
"really. How do you know that?"
"Uncle Yu?" xin Qian asked who was surprised to hear the name.
"really. Do you know him?"
"Actually we were looking for someone named uncle Yu. Can you take us to see him?"
"of course. I will gladly escort you to meet Uncle Yu. But first we want to thank you very much for your kindness, if you don't help us, we might not be able to survive."
"No need to thank me. Helping others is something I've always wanted to do."
"You are indeed a very good and beautiful Queen. Is that man your lover?"
"No," Xin Qian replied with a slight hesitation.
"no? Then are you married now?"
"Yes, I've married another man."
"Dearly enough. You guys look really good, and that guy seems to like you too."
Xin Qian and Zhang Pei stared at each other.
"Do you love the man you married?"
Xin Qian simply fell silent as she did not know what to say. Seeing the confused Xin Qian, Zhang Pei ventured to answer the animal's question.
"Your Majesty the Queen does not love the man, because she loves me," Zhang Pei replied steadily.
The animals as well Xin Qian was very surprised by what Zhang Pei had said.
"really so? But why didn't she marry you?"
"His Majesty was forced to accept the marriage. She was a Queen, she was willing to sacrifice her life for the safety of those she cared about."
"It's definitely not easy for you."
"Don't think about it! Everything has happened, better now we go to meet uncle Yu."
"All right."
As they walked into the forest and through the bushes, Xin Qian was confused as to why they did not use the existing path but instead made their own way.
The animals say no one knows where their hideout is. Because if humans knew, they were afraid that humans would hunt them down and destroy their dwellings for the second time.
"I'm sorry if my people ever hunted your friends and destroyed your residences" Xin Qian said.
"It's okay. We have forgiven the mistakes that people have made to us. We know that if not all humans are evil" one of the animals replied.
Just as they were about to arrive at the residence of the animals, they suddenly saw two demons who were looking for something.
"Wait on! It was the demons Jiang Li had sent. I firmly believe that the demon was ordered by Jiang Li to look for you, Your Majesty," Zhang Pei told Xin Qian.
"Then you have to hide" said one of the animals.
"Zhang Pei, we should also close our noses so that the two demons can't smell our whereabouts here" Xin Qian replied.
Zhang Pei and Xin Qian hid behind the bushes and covered their noses, while the animals pretended to eat leaves. They did so until the two demons left the forest.
