     "Captain! It's time to wake up! And well...uh Meixiang is already here. Do-Do you want me to send her away till later?" An apologetically smiles.

    "Ok...give me a minute," Jingyi groans from underneath the covers, "I'll go, also let her know I'm brining my guest with me."

     Wiggling out of the blankets he rubs his eyes to hear An respond, "Yes captain! I will also make sure Mr. Ren is awake, breakfast will be served in the garden." An smiles and with a swoosh leaves.

     "...Ren." Jingyi calls out.

     "Yes host? No need for worry I have a body double in place," Ren smiles, "Also host, don't forget about not going ooc. While your staff has accepted your ooc moments, which is because of me. You should hold your attitude in front of the others. Especially Meixiang."

     "Hm, no need for the reminder," Jingyi sighs, "I'm heading down, go replace that body double of yours."

    "Yes host!" Ren smiles and Jingyi could feel him leave. It was always a little cold when Ren was in a separate body. Shaking his head Jingyi quickly dresses and makes his way to the garden. 

     "JIINNGGGYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIII! My lovely!!!!!" The purple skinned lady leaps in at him only to land on the floor. Rubbing her cheeks she pouts, "Jinggyyyiii, you didn't have to avoid meee!"

     "Meixiang, why have you come here?" Jingyi sighs and relaxes seeing her no longer trying to jump him. 

    "Mouu, I just wanted to let you know something important! Hm?" Meixiang cuts off seeing as Ren has arrived.

     "Jingyi, good morning," Ren smiles and ruffles Jingyi's hair. "And, this is?"

     "Hiiii! I'm Meixiang! I'm Jiangyi's fiancé! And you!" She glares at him putting herself in front of Jingyi.

     "No," Jingyi lightly pushes her so that she is no longer in front, "Meixiang this is my...friend, his name is Ren. Ren, this is my friend Meixiang"

     "Hmmm, nice to meet you Ms. Meixiang," Ren smirks down at her.

     "A 'friend'," she glowers at him, "you wouldn't happen to be going after my Jingyi...right?"

"Meixiang. Stop. You have nothing to do with my love life. You may have helped me out as a child but I've already paid you back. Your attitude is unbecoming of someone of your stature." Jingyi glares eyes as venomous as his mouth.

     "Mou! Fine!" Casting one last glare at Ren she turns back to Jingyi, "You know how you asked me to watch over the boarder? Well I managed to find some unusual activity indifferent spots."

      Jingyi's eyes open in shock, didn't the original send her to do that cause he was annoyed? Who knew she would end up being useful? Huh, she even prepared a map?

     Taking out a pen from her sleeve she circles three points on the map, "This first one is near the town of Hasi. It's well know for it's red light district and a few well off customers have filed a missing person report. So far we have ten people missing, all of them disappearing under similar circumstances. While their is a gate near the town it is heavily guarded by both countries."

     Nodding his head Ren decides to interject, "These missing people...they wouldn't happen to be all women?"

     "Yes," she nods her head, "I suspect that a human is taking them. As mythical creatures we have no issue with couples of same sex but over on their side it is still highly illegal and 'immoral'. Bah! Who cares!"

     "..." Jingyi stares at her for a second before sighing and rubbing his forehead, "Alright,  so illegal trafficking is going on..."

     "Yep!" she nods with a smile and continues, "The second place of interest is right next to the Hunters Forest. There has been complaints coming from hunters about how there is an increase in animal aggressiveness, foot prints in protected areas, and a surprising amount of trash. In general there seems to either be someone living there or a visitor who doesn't know the rules." 

     With a nod from the both of them she moves on to the last place, "This last one surprised me, it is right next to the us! There is an old abandoned gate that's been closed down but one of my people let me know that people have been using it. He mentioned once that someone who looked like the prince had slipped through."

     "The prince?! Why would he be sneaking over to the humans?" Ren looks at her eyes narrow and body tense.

     "I'm not sure," she nods at his surprise, "I can give my guy's name if you plan on investigating? Otherwise these are my main points for suspicious activity."

     Jingyi nods, "I think that's where we'll start." 

     "Yaaayyyyyy!!!! I did it!! Hehehehe!" Meixiang giggle with a twirl, "Sooo did I do good!"

     "Yes," he nods his head again and lightly pats her head. 

     Everyone freezes. Meixiang's face flares bright pink and she breaks out in a smile. Ren glares at her and turns to his host to give him a really? look.

     The awkward silence passes with a giggle from Meixiang, "Hehe this is the first time you've touched me! Reward! Yay!! This must be it! I got a reward!! Hehehe!"

     Jingyi who just couldn't help but think of her as an energetic pet and broke the rule"...."

     "Ms. Meixiang, I believe your father would not like it if you spent so much time at an unmarried man's home?" Ren jolts her out of her happy state and calls over a servant, "escort her out and provide her with some gold."

      Jingyi nods in agreement, after all she's been waiting for a while, explained stuff for a long time. Heck, if she stays any longer there is a likely chance people will misunderstand the intention. 

     "Wah! Already! Nooo, but I wanna talk to my Jingyi more!" She pouts at Ren but nods, "Hmph! I'll be back later! See you later Jingyi!" She blows him a kiss and flees.

     "Well...uh," Ren nods, "its like a hurricane came and went..."

     "...yeah..." Jingyi stares at where the so called hurricane was, completely mentally exhausted.

     "Oh! Also in regards to what she said, we want to rush for the third option." Ren smiles at Jingyi and rubs his head, "The FL is a shameless schemer after all..."

     "...oh shi- ok, no. No problem, alright. To the gate we go..." Jingyi dejectedly leaves with a sigh.

So, slow burn won! A slow burn it is! Thanks for putting up with and waiting for this chapter! Much love! -FOAA
