The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
106. Surprising News

In the Middle World, the Zhongbu Empire did not completely control the entire territory of the continent. There were some mysterious parts like Wu Mountain that were beyond the control of the empire. There were also other territories, which were the territory of mysterious palaces and sects, free from imperial rule or imperial pressure.

In addition to these two regions, there are still other regions that are wider and more free. Without the restrictions of the imperial territory or the palace, it was an uninhabited and dangerous mountainous region. Each mountain has a story and mystery, sometimes used as a suitable place to isolate yourself from world affairs.

In this vast world, deep in the southern region beyond the imperial and palace regions, the scope of the Star Forest became even wider without end and fused with the mysterious mountain range filled with high-level beasts.

The mountain pierced through the sky accompanied by a steep cliff, no one dared to come to that mysterious place. However, one thing that people do not know, is behind the mysteriousness and how lonely and dangerous a place is, he said, it has its own beauty in the form of flower land and green and wild grass without human intervention.

The view of the steep mountains is terrible, it will be so beautiful if you enjoy it at the right time. Just like a middle-aged man standing at the top of a mountain looking at the world from behind the clouds.

The man looks to be around his 70s, with wrinkles wandering around his face and other parts of the skin. His black hair was covered in gray hair accompanied by a thin, whitened beard. Although he looks very old, he can stand tall with a dashing and elegant with a view that looks not like his age.

A white tiger walked behind, side by side with a female figure carrying a white robe for the man. The woman looked to be not much younger than the man, she had the same aura accompanied by a stern look that the old man did not have. When putting the robe onto the man's shoulder, his gaze softened.

"Winter is coming, the temperature on the mountain is getting colder than before. You're not young anymore, do you want to worry them?" The woman stood by the man's side.

The man chuckled, his smile expanding while looking at the scenery from the top of the mountain. His gaze was as if looking at the little girl he had held full of longing. "What do you think he's so big?"

The woman understood who the man meant and then smiled warmly. He misses her too. "For years, he should have grown up. Too bad, we can't take him and take care of him that day."

The man sighed. "Aiya, suddenly I miss that bad girl a lot. It's been over 7 years, I wonder if he still remembers this old man. The boy is so forgetful."

"Our Ranran is very good, he can't possibly forget. I also thought, it would be better if we visit occasionally."

"True, I'm going to send someone to inform him, so that the brat can prepare early." The man suddenly became very excited. After harboring longing for so long for 7 years, he would finally return. But suddenly he thought of something. "Liu'er, that brat hasn't been telling you for the past few years and is forgetting about us. I'll teach him a lesson."

The woman laughed a little. "So, do you intend to make a surprise?"

The man thought for a moment until his forehead wrinkled. He went wrong and breathed. "Better not to. What if our Ranran is not happy? Ranran we don't like surprises and are very old fashioned, I also don't want when it comes there will be mistakes. We don't know how the Klan's current condition is, better tell."

"Okay, it's up to you." The woman nodded happily. It had been a long time since the two of them left home into exile, he had missed them so much, especially his beloved grandson.

The white man sitting between them was stunned. He certainly understands their intention to go home which means he will get another strange behavior from a immoral little girl. He still remembers how his back was used as the mount of a 9-year-old child to make him want to cry.

He must be prepared to lose his dignity after today.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the Palace, the four youths rushed away after sneaking quietly with the unscrupulous Princess who smuggled the men into her own brother's house. The room became quiet, there were only three girls who one of them was cool to eat snacks in the corner while sitting casually as if all that had nothing to do with him.

Until finally the eunuch announced the arrival of Zhong Guofeng, only then did Mei Liena and Zhong Xiaorong stand up, apart from Xie Ran who was still in his own world.

When Zhong Guofeng appeared, Xie Ran automatically stopped eating and saw his arrival. He walked over, as if in front of him was not at all the great Emperor but a friend who had deliberately arrived late after hours of waiting.

Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena hurriedly gave a formal greeting, whereas Xie Ran greeted half-heartedly as if in front of him was not the Emperor at all.

The two girls by his side could only sigh.

Xie Ran did not feel guilty. Zhong Guofeng was his friend, why should it be too formal? If it had been, he would probably have behaved just like them. Friends don't have to be so formal. Zhong Guofeng also did not mind.

Zhong Guofeng could only smile at Xie Ran's indifference which made him even more fond of the girl. Then his gaze was directed at Zhong Xiaorong, he became confused.

"Ninth Princess, why are you here?" tanyakanya.

Zhong Xiaorong nearly flinched, then looked at each other with Mei Liena before finally explaining, "This princess heard that Her Majesty has returned, so just came to see Her Majesty. Then accidentally meet them."

"Oh? What business is it to see me?"

"That's ...." Zhong Xiaorong glanced at Xie Ran for a moment then looked at his brother again. "Formerly Xie Ran disappeared and this princess wanted to look for him. Since Her Majesty and Xie Ran's relationship was quite close, this princess wanted to ask His Majesty for help to find her. But, it turned out that Xie Ran had already returned with His Majesty, this princess was relieved and had no other request."

Zhong Guofeng nodded in understanding, seemingly unaware of how nervous Zhong Xiaorong was then looking at Xie Ran with a smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting,"

"Not a problem." Xie Ran replied indifferently.

"Then, rest. The previous trip was too tiring, I've arranged accommodation for you to rest."

"no need. Just taking me is enough, I have also eaten a lot. This matter, it was better to stay with the Ninth Princess. It's not good if you and I are in the same residence. I won't bother you anymore either." Xie Ran refused subtly. After what Zhong Guofeng said back then, he had to keep a safe distance so that the other emperors would not be jealous. It could be bad if it happens again.

Zhong Guofeng laughed. "So so. Is Ranran worried about my reputation?"

A reputation? Xie Ran had no such intention. He was actually not a problem living in this luxurious place comfortably, but it would only make a lot of rumors and his whereabouts unfold faster. Plus, if Ann Rou in the shadows told Qu Xuanzi that she was staying with Zhong Guofeng, it would be a hassle. Moreover, Zhong Guofeng's intentions were very clear.

But since Xie Ran could not possibly reveal it all, he could only agree with Zhong Guofeng's opinion without saying anything more.

While Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena exchanged lyrics, then mourned for Zhong Guofeng. Although they did not know the reason Xie Ran rejected such a good opportunity, they had their own speculations regarding the mysterious man who had once competed with Zhong Guofeng in the academy. But they chose silence rather than losing their heads.

So far, Xie Ran was quite familiar with Zhong Guofeng as a friend, completely ignoring the two girls who felt to be mosquitoes among them. Not knowing since when the two monstrous humans were on good terms, the two girls could only remain silent as bystanders.

After some time, the three of them came out of the Emperor Palace and went towards the palace belonging to Zhong Xiaorong. There, there were already the four men who had waited for a long time, sitting on chairs as if they were in their own homes.

Their days went well. The men could not stay in Zhong Xiaorong Palace so had to move to the Yan Clan temporarily. While Xie Ran and Mei Liena remained in the Palace.

During these few days, they met more often. Do not forget to also practice improving cultivation because their strength still has not broken through advanced professionals. Despite already having a heavenly sihur, breaking through was much more difficult so they marus mastered all the parts of heavenly magic that they learned. Only then will they break through.

When the days of the young men and girls became so smooth, on the other hand a woman was in turmoil after hearing the shocking news that made her head want to explode.

Huai Mao sneered at his temple, looking at the letter in hand attentively. Previously he was frustrated hearing of the Tang Family's destruction and Mo Shenxi's death. The cause is still unknown, but he believes it was all done by the same person.

Xie Wang's full strength was not something that ordinary humans could measure. He could even be juxtaposed against Emperor Zhong, or even stronger. No one knew clearly his strength, one only knew that he had broken through to the saint level after exiling himself to the outside of the empire.

On Xie Wang's side was Bai He, a legendary and dangerous white tiger. Xie Wang took care of the tiger since childhood and considered him a comrade-in-arms. Naturally, a tiger as big as a human could not be underestimated as it was a high-level savage beast. It can even change the size to be larger or smaller as desired.

One more, Su Liu'er, Xie Wang's wife. Su Liu'er was the teacher of Wen Xi, a confidant of the Xie Clan's ancestors and was a mysterious disciple of the Holy Tower. Sacred Towers in general held many mysteries, their disciples consisted of talented women with special qualifications.

No one knows the origin or location, they only knew the Holy Tower was the only tower that could be taller than the tower of the Emperor Palace with a power that even the empire or other palaces should not provoke. It was said that if one woman from the Holy Tower could conquer a mountain at once, to them the empire was just a small thing that was not worth mentioning.

The women could not be called human anymore. They have an unpredictable age with a youthful face and supreme beauty, they are made up of various races and live without interfering in worldly affairs, fully protecting the world in the shadows.

For Su Liu'er's aged condition, it was because he was an ordinary human being that the Holy Tower had sent to go to the mortal world. Su Liu'er's position was not high, but his strength should not be underestimated as the Sacred Tower had never had weak disciples. If Su Liu'er wanted to, she could maintain her beautiful face by continuing to cultivate. But she chose to age with her husband for life.

Huai Mao felt a headache for this condition. If they knew the condition of the Xie Clan now, they would be able to easily destroy the Xie Clan and Huai Mao could not do anything. So the only way is to use someone they care about.

Xie Wang and Su Liu'er loved their granddaughter, Xie Ran. After their son and son-in-law died, they had no other family besides Xie Ran so inevitably had to protect him. If Huai Mao could use Xie Ran to take them down, it was an advantage.

"Call Xie Chen!" Huai Mao ordered his subordinates to call Xie Chen.

After a while, Xie Chen faced and knelt before him. Over some time, Xie Chen had grown to be taller than before and looked more mature. He became more handsome with a cold and unapproachable look. Many women wanted to approach him, but Xie Chen was too hard-hearted and did not glance at them.

Huai Mao looked at Xie Chen, a smile blooming on his lips. "The Tang family has been destroyed and Tang Yueha is gone, I think you should have started a new contribution to cover the problems they made."

Xie Chen just kept quiet, waiting for orders. Just like Xie Ran, he broke through faster. His strength was in an advanced professional with dark energy in his body. Although he physically looks like a human, he is a demon created by Huai Mao and is fully a puppet of Huai Mao. His strength was likely on par with Xie Ran.

"I want you to look for Xie Ran's whereabouts within three days from now. Bring him to me alive. I knew you couldn't bear to hurt him, so I entrusted you with the arrest warrant without killing him. If you don't find him in three days, then accept your punishment."

Xie Chen bowed. "Good."

After receiving the order, Xie Chen immediately went out of the room. He crossed paths with Xie Nu, but his gaze remained straight without glancing at him and disappeared.

Xie Nu became a bigger girl than before. Although he was still a child, at least he became more restrained than before.

His feet stepped towards Huai Mao with a disapproving look and frowns. He heard of the task Huai Mao had given Xie Chen, he completely disagreed if the idiot was returned to this place.

"Mother, why would you want to bring Xie Ran back? Isn't it good he didn't make trouble here?" Xie Nu did not understand why his mother still wanted Xie Ran. He hated the girl to the bone and was eager to make Xie Ran disappear from this world.

Huai Mao looked at Xie Nu and sighed. "You don't understand. In the future, do not continue to make the problem unnecessary. You just have to learn."

"Mother—"

"The matter of Xie Ran, I have a reason why he should return. If you still want to live, then obey." Huai Mao said sharply making Xie Nu speechless.

But even though Xie Nu was silent, he still could not accept the presence of the trash in his life. Already enough trash had ruined his view for many years, he would not let that trash live so well in the Xie Clan.

The news of Xie Wang's arrival was not kept secret. It instantly spread as fast as lightning all the way to the palace until it finally fell into Xue Ran's ears.

Hearing about his grandparents, Xie Ran was so shocked that he accidentally removed the porcelain bottle in his hand that it fell to the floor and broke.

They coming? Xie Ran was completely shocked. There was pain in his heart, but he could not say anything due to the chaotic thoughts.

"Not supposed to come." Xie Ran felt anxious now. Even though he knew how powerful they were, he was still not ready to tell them all the truth. In this world, the two of them were the most important people for him, he did not want to make them sad.

Xie Ran had originally thought of telling them after this matter was over. At that time maybe he was ready to tell everything, but who would have thought they came sooner.

In a few days they arrive. That meant, he had to settle the clan matter within a few days!

"Ranran, that's just a rumor. Huai Mao could have used your grandparents to lure you. I heard Xie Chen was looking for you after the news came out. It must be just an attempt to get your attention." Zhong Xiaorong tried to calm down. Although he was unsure of his own words, at least he did not want Xie Ran to be restless.

Xie Ran shook his head quickly. "That's not a rumor. Huai Mao did deliberately make this news leak to attract my attention, but he would not take my grandfather and grandmother's name for granted for no reason. It's been over 7 years, it makes sense if they come. They also did not know the condition of the clan due to seclusion, it made sense."

"Then, what are you gonna do?" Mei Liena was restless.

"Ranran, if Xie Chen finds you and catches you, they will take you hostage to threaten your grandfather and grandmother not to destroy the clan. Their sons and daughters-in-law are gone, you are the only one. Huai Mao wants to try using you to take them down." Zhong Xiaorong had guessed his motive could not be silent anymore. He is familiar with this condition, but not simultaneously. Although he knew what Huai Mao's motive was, he still did not know how to handle it.

"I know." Xie Ran knew very clearly and was trying to calm his mind.

He never thought that this would happen sooner than expected. If he is caught and made a threat, the lives of his grandparents are as dangerous as they are. Just like in the past, he did not want it to happen again.

If he stays silent and hides, his grandparents could also be in danger no matter what the decision. The safest way was not to let them come, or get rid of Huai Mao sooner. But clearly he couldn't stop his grandparents who were on their way.

After a moment of thought, Xie Ran became calmer. As long as he defeated Huai Mao before the worst happened, everything would be fine. He should advance early.

"Ann Rou, Dou Dou!"

The two saint beasts simultaneously appeared in the light making Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena surprised, but did not say anything.

Xie Ran stared at the alternating reverberations. "You know where Xie Chen is?"

Ann Rou and Dou Dou exchanged lyrics, guessing what their lady wanted to do. They instantly turned pale, hurriedly kneeling.

"Miss, please consider!" They say almost simultaneously. If Xie Ran really did, it would be tantamount to seeking death. What if something bad happens? Even to the death, they would not be able to explain it to His Majesty!

"I know what I'm doing, just trust me." Xie Ran understood their feelings. He could only bet on his own plan. If it doesn't work, then there will only be death.
