The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
11. Of love? What is Love?

Xie Ran was engulfed in chaos. He prepared a dagger in his hand that emitted a red radiance. His gaze was sharp, but behind it was reluctance. It was not even aware that his hands were trembling slightly when holding the dagger.

The sword came out of the man's hand. The silver sword was long and beautiful. It had some intricate carvings and dominating powerful energies.

Even Xie Ran was stunned to see it. If this was another day, he would ask a lot of things and borrow that beautiful sword. But this time it was critical.

Xie Ran closed his eyes for a moment suppressing all the unpleasant feelings in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his irises became red like the devil. His sight was full of killing intent.

Xie Ran did not want to waste too long. He had to return as soon as possible to meet the two restless little Dragons. He had to resolve his issues with the Xie Clan and make up for everything. He can't die!

Even though the odds were small, he still had to win at any cost. Xie Ran was someone who would do anything to stay alive. His life is in his own hands, not someone else's. No one can kill him but himself!

Xie Ran stepped forward to launch the first attack. The man's long sword struck him quickly and strongly. Xie Ran could barely hold on and twisted behind the man quickly.

The dagger is pulled alternately in two hands. The sword continued to withstand his attacks and gave him incisions on several sides without pause. Xie Ran's body tried to dodge, but the sword was too fast that his evasion had decreased and scratched.

Blood soaked Xie Ran's body. He took a few steps back holding onto his arm which was bleeding profusely. His clothes were tattered with red stains.

It can't be like this!

Xie Ran used his magic back. He twisted while throwing flying knives in succession along with magic out from there. The flying knife never misses and will continue to search for its target until it strikes.

He controlled the flying blade to the maximum while the man repelled it as if the flying blade was nothing.

As the flying blade floated in the air carrying out the attack, Xie Ran unsheathed his dagger towards the man. The man quickly realized then pulled Xie Ran's arm that was close in front of him and twisted it.

His body did not have any injuries, in stark contrast to Xie Ran. He used magic to encircle Xie Ran's body before finally crashing away a few meters.

Xie Ran maintained his body in the air and used the wall as a pedestal. His magic wandered freely like a red thread making everything messy and some items in the darkness scattered.

He aimed his thread-like magic towards the man then dashed swiftly launching his attack. The man didn't move much. He resisted the magic attack and avoided the increasingly uncontrollable magic.

Some magic in the form of other threads appeared from various directions as if it would be wrapped around it. It glided freely like a snake carrying out a massive attack.

The silver rays came out destroying all the attacking red rays. It formed a net and placed emphasis on all magical items until the pagoda experienced an earthquake.

The chaos of the pagoda was felt outside. The moving pagoda like it had become an earthquake left the guards confused and flocked to open the pagoda forgetting the important rule.

They did not have magic stones, so many arrows shot at them so some guards collapsed and the rest ran away. The running guards immediately reported to Tang Zhi quickly during the earthquake.

Inside the pagoda, the two magic still showed each other its power. Silver and red clashed against each other and made heavy damage to the eighth floor pagoda. Some spiritual plants also began to fidget and make attacks. Several other artifacts came along to suppress the power that disturbed their calm.

Xie Ran was still trying to hold on. Blood had already come out of his mouth while his hands were still trying to control the magic that was constantly corroded. His strength was running out, but not with his spirit.

The man is just the opposite. He got interference from several artifacts and destroyed them in one flick. He launched a quick attack. His figure flickered as if it was a shadow and suddenly was right in front of Xie Ran.

Xie Ran was wide-eyed. Seeing the silver ray suddenly hit him, he dodged down and kicked the man's leg violently.

The man leaped in the air feeling the hard kick on his leg. He looked at the toppled Xie Ran then directed his magic back towards the girl.

Xie Ran avoided it. Each time magic appeared to attack him, he rolled so that an explosion occurred. Xie Ran jumped onto one of the items. His gaze was still dark and could only see the man who had brutally assaulted him.

Xie Ran dodged at every inch and that magic always caused a lot of damage. When Xie Ran was about to dodge again, another silver magic appeared to hit him and pulled him hard.

Xie Ran was running out of a lot of mental strength. He couldn't perform magic attacks, only able to dodge them appropriately. But he had been hit and again fell on the cold floor.

He vomited a mouthful of blood and crawled trying to grab the table and stood up. His gaze was directed at the man who still looked spotless clean. Xie Ran closed his eyes and lowered his head as if he had given up on his life.

"I thought you'd protect me. Too naive, isn't it? You killed me." Xie Ran said with trembling and chuckling. He still endured the pain and closed his eyes. His mind was completely muddled not knowing how to.

The man just kept quiet. He didn't answer a single sentence or even just a word. He just looked at Xie Ran flatly without expression not even blinking.

"At least, tell me your name before I die."

The man again just quietly did not heed Xie Ran's words. It made Xie Ran snort angrily and muttered, "It sucks."

Xie Ran did not know what the man was thinking. One thing he knew, he still hadn't lost. As long as he was alive, he did not lose.

A spear appeared next to the man. The tip of the spear aimed at Xie Ran who was already cornered in a chaotic and weak state. Xie Ran could even only look on without being able to fight back.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" The cold voice of the man entered Xie Ran's ears.

Xie Ran only displayed a shallow smile. "Ice mountain, I have not lost and will not lose. You know that for sure."

The man remained flat untouched by his words. The spear twisted while Xie Ran closed his eyes as if resigned to life.

The hovering spear quickly shot towards Xie Ran. Xie Ran just silently waited quietly as if his life had been given up.

The spear is getting closer and closer. It was already half a meter away from him and quickly the sound of the spear's thump was heard with a loud bang.

The silver iron pierced through the clothes giving off a thick red liquid and smelled fishy. The blood piercing through the white clothes came out right centered on the iron that pierced through the chest.

Xie Ran was silent to see it. There is no joy or anger, there is only sadness that cannot be interpreted. His hands were covered in blood once again. The dagger in his hand pierced through the left chest of the man in front of him whom he stabbed himself. The spear behind him struck the wall and it should have missed even if it did not dodge.

In an instant, everything was no longer as black as before. Items began to look and wooden walls and floors were visible.

Xie Ran whipped out the dagger spontaneously and took off the dagger just like that. He looked at his hand once again that was covered in blood. How'd he do it?

"No way." Xie Ran returned to common sense.

His movements happened instinctively because of his determination to want to live. He looked at the man who was still standing looking at him. The left chest where his heart was stabbed. How come!

"Why don't you avoid? You're not hurt, you can dodge easily. Why!" Xie Ran was furious and shook the still strong man's standing body. He should have been happy, but somehow he was sorry and very unhappy.

In the end he admits, he does not want to kill the man in front of him, but his killer instinct drives to kill automatically. Why would the man in front of her allow himself to be stabbed!

The man in front of her did not kill her, but instead she killed him. Xie Ran felt an overwhelming fear until his body trembled. He's never been like this before. He felt his mental being played with by something and he could not help but feel fear.

The man was silent, not answering. Before finally his body fell forward right at the frustrated Xie Ran. How did this happen? What the hell is going on!

Xie Ran held back the body of the man who was already unconscious. He sat down and shook the handsome man's body in his arms.

He did not understand why the man had previously wanted to kill him, nor did he understand why his intentions had changed and instead allowed himself to be killed. Why become like this!

Xie Ran deliberately made his killing instincts control him and dodged the spear thinking the man would dodge easily. He didn't know it would end like this.

"Don't be like this. You haven't told me your name yet. You also didn't tell me who you really were and explained the contents of the deal! How can I explain it to Long Huo and Long Yun!" Xie Ran shook the man's body violently.

His mind was confused and he didn't know what to do. She's confused. Unknowingly, her tears were dripping. The tears had only been a falsehood for the past few years. This time it's different. Xie Ran did not even notice it.

Xie Ran was confused as to how. He was like someone who was lost and didn't know what to do. This confusion was the same as when he saw Liu Ya and Xie Yao die right in front of him. It's a nightmare!

Xie Ran shouted in annoyance. His head ached and he felt his mental state being toyed with. Why is he experiencing something like this! Was he destined to be lonely? Would Long Huo and Long Yun also die if they were with him?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Long Huo and Long Yun saw the empty body of Xie Ran let out a sudden tear from his empty eyes that opened.

"Did something happen?" Long Huo wondered.

Other than a fairly severe wound, there were no other problems. It could still heal if Xie Ran rested well. But they did not know why Xie Ran suddenly let out tears.

Xie Ran never let out a tear if nothing really brought him down and despair. Even if he was going to die, he would not shed tears.

Long Yun came after monitoring the pagoda from afar. His long body landed on the bed and looked at the worried Long Huo.

"The earthquake occurred. Looks like something happened. The guards immediately reported to Tang Zhi and were coming. Master's in danger!"

"Do we distract him?" Long Huo gave a solution yet Long Yun shook his head.

"Master said not to show himself anymore. If we make trouble to distract, they'll become even more suspicious of Master." Long Yun felt frustrated. If he could turn into a human being, he would screw everyone up by pretending to be a madman who destroyed the city.

Long Huo pensively thought for a moment. This matter was getting more complicated and Xie Ran did not want them to show themselves.

He has to find another way. After thinking about a few things, Long Huo finally came up with some plans.

"I know!"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Xie Ran who was lying on the floor opened his eyes. His body felt weak and his head hurt. Even to wake up feels heavy.

Recalling about what had happened just now, he immediately woke up as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Seeing the empty room made him quiet.

Where's the iceberg?

Is he dreaming?

Clearly he was still feeling pain all over his body, how could it be a dream?

Xie Ran traced the entire room looking for something wrong. A room this big, nothing else was a sign of the man. There were only a few plants that were damaged from the fight just now and a few items that were destroyed. There was a fight here. But where is that guy?

While searching for the whereabouts of the man who had been stabbed, he found a black flower in the glass that had traces of blood on the core of the flower. The flower was slightly broken and bleeding as if it had been torn apart by a knife.

"Bears of heartbreak." Xie Ran wanted to laugh after reading it. Where is there a flower with such a strange name? The one who gave the name was very stupid and did not know how to give a good name.

"Damn it! You've hurt me now you're mocking me!"

The voice of the circus lady sounded shocking to Xie Ran. He searched for the origin of the sound until it spun but was not found.

"Stupid human! In here!"

This time it was clearer. Xie Ran caught the origin of the voice and looked at the black flower he had just laughed at. Did the flower talk to her? How do flowers talk?

Suddenly the flower moved by itself hitting the arm of Xie Ran who wanted to touch it. A fierce flower!

Xie Ran was annoyed. "You ...."

"Hmph, you've hurt me with your splint. Now the responsibility!"

"When?" Xie Ran was confused. Didn't he just fight an iceberg? Why is this ugly flower asking for responsibility? He should have asked where the iceberg went after being stabbed like that.

"Just now." The broken hearted flower said lazily. The injured petals reduce their beauty. He feels hurt!

Xie Ran thought about it again. At the beginning of his arrival, the room was filled with darkness in contrast to now which had a little light even though it was night.

Then looked at the iceberg that suddenly put hatred on him. From there it felt strange to think that it was something in disguise.

After a thought back, it seemed like it was true. The heartbroken flower disguised itself as a powerful iceberg to kill him so as not to be able to steal items here.

Surprisingly, how could this flower know its secret! Even knowing about the iceberg and its power.

Xie Ran's gaze towards the Heartbroken Flower became cold filled with anger which made the broken hearted Flower break out in cold sweat if it was a human.

"You!" Xie Ran raised his voice glaring at the heartbroken Flower.  His emotions soared drastically.

He pulled the heartbroken Flower just like that ignoring the various groans and insults of that ugly flower. It could be that this ugly flower was toying with her like that.

Xie Ran was so tormented earlier that he realized that he killed the person who trained him with his own hands. That was his trauma! This flower is tired of living!

"How did you find out about him?" Xie Ran interrogated him forcibly.

"About who? I don't know what you mean!" The broken hearted flower said sadly. He regretted holding this human responsible for ruining his beauty. It should be quiet so as not to be discovered that he messed with this fragile human being.

"About ...." Xie Ran thought it was useless to explain it. He also did not know the name of the iceberg. "How do you know about my secret? You know I was poisoned."

"Poisons? I don't think you're poisoned."

"Lied!" Xie Ran tightened his grip making the Broken Flower in pain. If this continues, he will die!

"Well, fine, I'll talk!" Broken heart flowers give up. I want her to cry now. His reputation as a primordial plant was ruined because of this damn human!

"Hurry up!" Xie Ran urged. He had to quickly leave here after picking up the pendant.

"I used illusions to attack the humans who came. I don't want to be taken advantage of, that's why I always use illusions. But who would have thought there was someone who used a magic tool so that it was not affected by my illusion. I can't do anything and can only wait to be eaten by humans."

"I'm not talking about your background. I asked about what you did to me!" Xie Ran said fiercely. He was really angry if his weakness was toyed with like that. He's so mad!

"Well, well, well," said the heartbroken Flower. He was really scared of this girl. The girl who had made her wound horrible, she was eager to punish him but could not. "I used the illusion of my heartbreak. My illusion will have no effect on the heartless. That's why you're affected. I don't know what happened in the illusion because of the old wounds, but I can control it to an extreme level and make both sides kill each other."

"What is the illusion of a broken heart?" Xie Ran wondered. The problem is, why icebergs? Why didn't Tang Zhi just want to kill him so many times?

"The illusion of a broken heart will make the illusion of someone you care about contradictory to what you think. Suppose if you love a man, then in the illusion of heartbreak will bring up the man with a different and more cruel nature. The man will also have the heart to kill you so that you are helpless and willing to be killed. You won't know if it's real or fake because it all comes from your own memory so everything feels real."

A dangerous illusion. Though the heartbroken Flower thought this man would die after suffering a heavy injury. He already thought this figure must be so powerful and domineering that a girl as great as him was completely cornered. It was just that his determination was too strong and shattered the entire illusion.

"Why are you explaining something so complicated?"

"Is that complicated? Humans will immediately understand what was explained just now. Moreover, man lives by love."

"Love? Is that love? Is that edible?" Xie Ran asked innocently. Thinking about food made her stomach scream. He had not eaten since morning until his brain could not think clearly.

Hearing Xie Ran's question made the heartbroken Flower want to die alone. Is man now so heartless as to not know what love is? It's ridiculous!

"Man, are you hungry?"

"Very." Xie Ran had calmed down. He was hungry and wanted to eat. As a food lover, he always eats on time. Sometimes he steals food secretly in the kitchen and is not caught. He always ate the most among the other servants.

"Worthy," muttered the heartbroken Flower feeling like crying.

Why is the human in front of him so stupid!
