The Underworld had become even quieter since Xie Ran's departure. The Demon Emperor was alone in his room, standing facing the window with a shady and empty look.
It was only a moment after Xie Ran left that the Demon Emperor returned moody for a long time. Looking out the window where the lifeless shady forestry was located, he instantly felt a familiar aura appearing around him.
The aura was cold and not too conspicuous, it was very clear that he was hiding his aura to be unknown to the other creatures out there. But the Demon Emperor still knew about it, because that figure had been present in his room.
"It's true, you're here."
That ice-cold voice reached the ears of the Demon Emperor. The man sighed, then spoke without looking.
"He's gone, after killing someone."
"I know."
"It seems like his mood is bad, it's better to persuade him before making a mess." The Demon Emperor was silent for a while, then turned to look at the white figure standing before the door of the room with a cold and distant look. The man put on a demonic smile. "You knew he was gone a while ago, still seeing me. Did you miss me?"
Without saying anything, the man who was none other than Qu Xuanzi threw a scroll towards the Demon Emperor. Perceptively the Demon Emperor caught him, then saw Qu Xuanzi wondering.
"There's no way you came just for this, right? Is this from the goddess of the demon?" The Demon Emperor chuckled.
"How did you know?" said Qu Xuanzi, without changing his expression.
"Ruoruo told me." The Demon Emperor opened the scroll and read it while Qu Xuanzi thought who Ruoruo was.
Ruoruo ....
The longer Qu Xuanzi tried to remember, the more he finally remembered the name. It was supposed to be the name of Xie Ran's twin brother. But, the one who had just been in the Underworld was Xie Ran, not Xie Ruo. How could the Demon Emperor mention about Xie Ruo while not knowing anything?
Moreover, the only one who knew about his departure was Xie Ran ....
When the Demon Emperor finished his reading and began to act seriously, seeing Qu Xuanzi's thinking face, his demonic smile instantly widened. It seemed like his little darling had not told Xie Ruo about the Celestial Emperor at all.
"For that matter, you can ask the little girl yourself. Unfortunately, I was the first to know what he was hiding." The Demon Emperor sneered, as well as being proud of himself and trying to upset Qu Xuanzi.
Qu Xuanzi did not continue his thoughts and looked at the Demon Emperor flatly. "It's over?"
"Of course, I'm guessing you didn't come to obey what the old man said. If you're as obedient as you say, I'd be willing to follow your advice, you wouldn't be doing it anyway."
"For this matter, do what you must."
The Demon Emperor tilted his head, staring at Qu Xuanzi with an intense gaze. "What are you planning?"
"I have no intention of merging two bloods. If you can fight it together, it might be better, but more preparation is required." Qu Xuanzi did not want to risk Xie Ran's life. If doing the merging of the two bloods, it requires pure energy that causes Xie Ran's life to be in danger. Whatever endangers Xie Ran's life, he will stay away from it from Xie Ran.
The Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows next to his. "I understand." He smiled, then continued, "After all, you and I are one."
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
In the new Xie Clan at the top of the mountain, Xie Ran remained silent inside the pendant, right where Long Long Long fell asleep.
Since returning to the clan, he had instantly separated from Xie Wang and Su Liu'er, went to the room and locked himself in a pendant. In his hand, there was a Long Long spirit that in a small size curled up unconscious.
Due to the attack of the Demon Emperor, Long Long's spirit became extremely weak, different from the previous spirit that was full of vigor. Since earlier, Long Long had only curled up and felt pain in silence. His consciousness did not fully fall asleep, sometimes opening his eyes to tell Xie Ran that he was fine.
Only a child would be fooled like that, Xie Ran was not a child. He tried to recover Long Long Long's spirit using pure energy, just like when he recovered Long Huo. But the process gets longer until Xie Ran's energy is almost exhausted.
But the longer, Long Long Long's spirit became more transparent, it was not even felt on Xie Ran's skin as if all he touched was empty air.
"No .. sorry ...." Xie Ran looked down, feeling guilty. If only he had not been in a chaotic situation, Long Long would not have been in danger. If only he could hold Long Long out stronger and not let him head off.
But it's too late to regret.
Out there, the clan had a commotion as Liu Chang and the others had just arrived. The moment they arrived, they broke through so shamelessly and questioned the clan disciple about Xie Ran's whereabouts frantically.
The clan disciples could only fall silent, letting the children explore the new clan while searching for their chairman like a lost child. Only Pei Xi who secluded himself from those shameless children, did not want to interfere.
"Take me to him!" Zhong Xiaorong puffed out his chest showing his integrity as the princess.
"This ... Miss, Young Master, the Clan Leader doesn't want to be disturbed. When it came, his mood was bad, instantly shutting himself in the residence, there was nothing to do."
"Aiya, your chairman is worrying about his friends, then the mood deteriorates. Just drop it off, there are not many reasons! I'll make sure your chairman's mood improves." Yan Yao spoke confidently. He was very familiar with Xie Ran, only needed to persuade him with food or shiny items, everything was in order.
"True, Liena had brought a lot of food from the city we had previously stopped by. Your chief will be very pleased." Liu Chang supported Yan Yao's argument with vigor.
"really?" The student hesitated. The kids seem unbelievable.
"Take it." Mei Liena embracing the disciple made the disciple blush instantly.
They generally admired Xie Ran, but could not get close to him because the stifling aura frightened them. Their chairman friends are the same. But this time, one of their chief beauties embraced a male disciple with gentleness, who wouldn't melt?
"Liena, you're overreacting." Zhou Kui cleared his throat. Too long in the Lava Continent, Mei Liena sometimes difficult to forget the impression there so it acts as if hugging a cute dragon.
Mei Liena chuckled, then removed her embrace so that the disciple could breathe after a long time.
"Show me now." Mei Liena asked the disciple to show.
Inevitably the disciple complied, showing them the way towards Xie Ran's room.
Thinking they would have fun after all this time, when they entered the room, they found an empty room.
They were silent for a while, then looked at the pendant lying down and disguised themselves well. If Zhong Xiaorong did not find him, they would never know where Xie Ran really was.
Approaching the pendant, they intend to go inside to meet Xie Ran. But suddenly a silver light appeared around the pendant giving off a cold aura that made their sitting feathers stand up.
A dazzling silver ray, so dense and full of pressure. Those who had just wanted to enter the pendant immediately gulped down the salivians.
With just that one action, they all dispersed out of the room in a hurry. The disciples waiting outside were curious, then approached those with pale faces.
Looking at the student who was full of questions, Zhou Kui immediately spoke, "Ranran. It must be due to fatigue, so sleep so fast. Better not bother him."
For the sake of keeping their faces, it was better to use that excuse so that no one would enter into that horrible room. They were afraid, but did not want to admit in front of the naive disciples whose brains were 'washed' it.
The student nodded in understanding, not questioning anything. "Then, let me take Miss and Young Master to the room."
They nodded awkwardly, then followed the direction the disciple left. It was better like this than to face the bad mood of Xie Ran.
The unknown to them, in the midst of the dissolved reverie, the exploding silver rays came from the energy surge in Xie Ran's long-stressed body. In just some time, Xie Ran broke through the limits of human cultivation.
