"It's been a long time. Brother, how are you?"
That voice suddenly came making Pei Xi surprised. He turned around, looking at the golden-eyed female figure with pointed ears smiling at him. That face, the last one he saw was 10 years ago which ended with a farewell, Jian Wu.
"It turns out you're alive, brother."
"Oh? Xi'er has already acknowledged me as a big brother. Do you miss me?" Jian Wu chuckled.
"I'm fine without you. If there's nothing else to say, you can go." Pei Xi was too lazy to serve Jian Wu. Looking at the woman, made him remember the terrible tragedy that had befallen him.
"What is it like that Sect Chief treats guests?" Jian Wu did not want to leave.
"I was like that, you know."
Jian Wu laughed amusedly, then looked at Pei Xi, starting to get serious. "I came to tell you one thing. The game will start soon."
Pei Xi frowned. Just about to ask, Jian Wu had already disappeared first as if receiving no reply whatsoever. He came to give only a warning message, must have come from 'he'. Actually, what is 'he' playing'?
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The Palace of the Holy Tower was as bustling as ever with women wandering and practicing. But on the other hand, Xie Ruo actually walked sneaking towards the kitchen while waiting for the palace chef to leave.
By his side, there was a young girl who looked very innocent. Standing in silence and nervousness while tugging at Xie Ruo's dress, persuading her to leave. But Xie Ruo ignored.
After the chef in the kitchen left, Xie Ruo directly broke through the kitchen to grab some food. It feels like it will become a bone splinter if it does not eat properly.
The little girl followed, feeling so agitated that she kept looking at the windows and doors hoping no one would see. Although he had been following Xie Ruo for years 'stealing' the food, he was still very afraid.
"Ruoruo, what if it gets caught again? The queen said, no one should eat anything other than at mealtime." The girl was tugging at Xie Ruo's dress that was opening the food lid for dinner.
"Zhu Zhu, do you want to make me a bone? Just skin me so I can see." Xie Ruo was annoyed at that one stalker. Already followed him into the kitchen, now even the fear is unclear.
Zhu Zhu pouted. "Can't you use cruel speech? You missed breakfast and lunch due to cultivation, always repeating. If Senior finds you again, his sentence will increase from yesterday."
"Then you want me to die young? At least it's just being told to clean up the palace." Xie Ruo ate the papau in his hand indifferently.
"Ruoruo ...." Zhu Zhu did not know what to tell him anymore. The thing is, he trusted the Queen to look after Xie Ruo. He could not neglect the task and let Xie Ruo eat too much to the point of bloating. What if stomach pain?
Ignoring Zhu Zhu's always rule-abiding babble, he took the noodles into a bowl and ate them happily while sitting on the table. But when he was about to take out the meat, the meat in his chopsticks suddenly floated in the air so Xie Ruo fell silent.
He's caught. Never mind, just clear the palace. After all, Qu Xuanzi was still here, who would dare to punish him?
Turning to look at the beautiful woman who stood up while shaking her waist, she smiled without guilt.
"Hello Senior, how are you?" Xie Ruo greeted, while continuing to eat no matter who was standing in front of him.
"It seems like ordinary punishment no longer works against you." The senior clucked.
"Law me after finishing a meal, baby if thrown away." Xie Ruo retorted as if he had never done anything wrong.
This was not the first and only time that Xie Ruo had been punished. Besides eating silently, the girl once blew up her own room until she had to move, then blew it back up until the room was full and slept in the cultivation room.
I don't know what this weird girl did. Never socialize or get acquainted and make friends, but everyone knows about Xie Ruo who always makes a fuss everywhere.
By his side was only Zhu Zhu whom Sheng Xian had sent to look after Xie Ruo for so many years. Before Zhu Zhu, there were some women who were sent, but not until a day had they all immediately surrendered.
At that very moment, Xie Ruo became popular as well as a center of crowd avoidance. Especially among the seniors, the girl subscribed to punishment. Zhu Zhu sometimes participated in the punishment.
Xie Ruo did not care about it all, as long as his cultivation was undisturbed and no one bothered him, he would be kind to accept the punishment with pleasure.
Beside that, inside such a large and silent hall, Sheng Xian knelt down while looking down, facing the particular emperor present. When Qu Xuanzi came and allowed him to return to the Upper World, Sheng Xian immediately put on such a position with a feeling of uneasiness.
"Your Majesty, forgive this lowly who cannot fulfill your orders. Too many mistakes and regrets, Sheng Xian could not face the fairy ancestor after that incident."
Qu Xuanzi looked at it for a while, then said in a calm tone."He's dead."
Sheng Xian felt a bolt of lightning destroy his mind. His body trembled, guilt continued to haunt him until he felt his knees could no longer support the body.
"All my fault, this lowly one deserves to be punished." Sheng Xian did not know what else to do. The last time he left the Upper World, his ancestor who was his only family still persuaded him not to leave. But Sheng Xian refused and left faster. He deeply regrets it.
"There's no point in punishing you. There were no more heavenly elves left to take the place of the heavenly elves before. Otherwise, the fairy race will disappear."
"But—"
"You dare to argue?" Qu Xuanzi stared at him sharply making Sheng Xian look down deeply. Then Qu Xuanzi sighed. "No need to remember your lost daughter, she won't come back."
Sheng Xian just kept quiet, not daring to look up. He had two daughters, one of whom died and the other lost during the destruction of the Fairy World. It was not wrong for Qu Xuanzi to say that. Since his missing daughter is a traitor and works for 'he', will never return even if found.
That was the reason why guilt kept haunting and creating the Holy Tower. Her husband died in the chaos, her two daughters leaving behind regrets and guilt. At that time, she was the strongest type of elf from the Upper World, but not being able to protect her own family made her identity just a joke.
"You can tell that I'm heartless, but I can't let the fairy race disappear just because of you. It's all in your hands, think carefully." Qu Xuanzi left after saying so.
When he exited the hall, he met Zhu Zhu who was in a hurry to meet Sheng Xian. Zhu Zhu was somewhat surprised to see a man present in the Sacred Tower, but he did not ask much because Xie Ruo was the most important.
Qu Xuanzi was silent. He felt Xie Ruo breathing around the girl, which meant that the girl was always with Xie Ruo and was quite close. The girl looked uneasy, something must have happened to Xie Ruo.
Zhu Zhu stepped swiftly towards Sheng Xian, but he was shocked when he saw Sheng Xian kneeling down with a face of despair. He was confused, but could not buy more time.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Zhu has something to say." Zhu Zhu immediately knelt down and paid his respects. He's in such a hurry.
Sheng Xian looked up, then looked at Zhu Zhu who looked agitated. It seems like the Xie Ruo problem. He hurriedly replied, "Say."
"Ruoruo passed breakfast and lunch until a few minutes ago, quietly entered the kitchen and ate a lot of noodles. Senior Jun looked and gave him the punishment of cleaning up the enormous mermaid race pond, Ruoruo suddenly got a stomachache from mostly eating. But Senior Jun did not let Ruoruo rest. Due to the momentary emotion, Ruoruo plucked out the waterways of the mermaid race, watering Senior Jun so that he returned to being a mermaid on the ground. Now, they're fighting. Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Hearing Zhu Zhu's explanation, Sheng Xian's face paled. Qu Xuanzi had just come out, must have heard of it. If the quarrel of the two girls is left, there will be a catastrophe.
Sheng Xian hurried out, asking Zhu Zhu to show him the way to meet the brats.
While the other party was sitting at the edge of the pond while controlling the cold flames that wrapped around Senior Jin's tail until the woman continued roaring furiously as if she was going crazy at any moment.
"Xie Ruo, don't because Her Majesty the Queen is taking your side and making you her personal disciple, you can just as casually make trouble here. The Holy Tower is not a place for a rotten woman like you!"
Krakkk
Senior Jun groaned in pain as his tail rotated to a limp. His bones shifted, he was in pain without bleeding.
"I have a limit of patience."
Xie Ruo had already marked Senior Jun from the very beginning. The woman dislikes him the most and is always looking for her faults. Every time he made a little mistake, he was constantly being yelled at and provoked by Senior Jun. Now, he will reply.
Not just because of senior status, that woman could play around with Xie Ruo.
The disciples of the Sacred Tower shuddered in horror at that terrifying sight. Some were not strong until they popped their eyes and ran away, some were speechless. For 10 years, they had never seen this sadistic Xie Ruo.
Oh, of course Xie Ruo could be even more ruthless. It hasn't even warmed up.
"Xie Ruo, we are fellow disciples, it would be best if not too cruel. If anything happens to Senior Jun, don't know what will happen." One of the girls said worriedly. The Holy Tower was forbidden to fight personally, let alone hurt other disciples.
Xie Ruo understood and did not prolong the matter even though he felt disappointed. But how else? He must obey that one rule.
"No need to listen, do what you want."
That familiar voice made Xie Ruo look back. He was somewhat surprised to see Qu Xuanzi suddenly already behind him.
"Why are you here?" Isn't that talking to the Queen of the Holy Tower?
Qu Xuanzi rubbed Xie Ruo's hair gently. "fetch you. But before that, finish what you want done."
Somehow Xie Ruo felt that Qu Xuanzi's words contained a terrible meaning. Does that guy know everything? Qu Xuanzi wants Xie Ruo to settle the matter with Senior Jun 'quickly'?
Everyone did not know Qu Xuanzi's intent, but the related one definitely knew its meaning. It was at that moment that Senior Jun's eyes widened. Is that guy crazy? Dare to kill him in the Holy Tower!
"Unfortunately, I've left a bad impression on them, not wanting to make things worse." Xie Ruo chose to let Senior Jun go.
Never mind, this is the Holy Tower, he has broken too many rules, do not break for killing. His hands were still clean of blood, not wanting to be soiled by such a person.
"At least, for some time, he couldn't have legs and couldn't swim." Xie Ruo tilted his smile at Senior Jun.
"Xie Ruo, you ******! I will not forgive you!"
"Who do you call ******?" Qu Xuanzi looked at Senior Jun coldly. Even though he was masked, it was still that sharp and cold gaze was so piercing that it made Senior Jun suddenly feel extremely scared.
But Senior Jun had high self-esteem, unwilling to lose just because of a pair of lowly and weak humans.
"Who else? Human******* that. Just because it had the soul of a heavenly dragon could be arrogant and become the Queen's main disciple, on what basis? Just by the looks of it, I don't know how many men have slept with her in the past."
Hearing the unpleasant sentence coming out of the woman's mouth, the cold aura around became so. Qu Xuanzi's face grew darker, his gaze coldly filled with killing intent.
A thread of red appeared wrapped around the woman's neck, lifting her up into the air until the woman choked could not breathe. With just one pressure, his head would be separated.
"Say it again."
Senior Jun had almost lost his mind. Why did no one stop the man? Where is their queen when someone is going to kill one of her students!
His strength was so strong that he could neither breathe nor speak, plus the injuries caused by Xie Ruo increasingly made his entire body ache. He felt his neck would break at any moment. Who is that guy exactly?
On the other hand, Xie Ruo wanted to stop Qu Xuanzi's actions which seemed like they were going to drench the Sacred Tower with blood. He touched Qu Xuanzi's arm, as the man turned his head, he shook his head in a sign that Qu Xuanzi should not do that.
Right at that moment, Sheng Xian appeared with Zhu Zhu. All of this happened so quickly, Sheng Xian nearly lost blood when he saw the Jun clan suffocating in the air because of Qu Xuanzi.
"Your Majesty, forgive the leniency of the servant disciple. This matter, the servant himself who will take care of it, there will be no negligence. Your Majesty doesn't need to dirty your hands just for a disciple like him."
Everyone was shocked to see their queen who looked extremely humble. Who was the man behind Xie Ruo?
Once again Xie Ruo had Qu Xuanzi lower Senior Jun down, he ended up letting the damn woman breathe for a while.
Actually, Xie Ruo wanted to let Qu Xuanzi finish, but it was inappropriate since they were still inside the Sacred Tower. Plus, what about Sheng Xian's face? After all if Xie Ruo alone finished it, he would be much more satisfied.
"Nothing next time, or there won't be any consideration." Qu Xuanzi could only hold back his anger for now. It could be that the woman said something bad about Xie Ruo right in front of her.
"Your Majesty need not worry." Sheng Xian sighed. Finally Qu Xuanzi's anger subsided, he only needed a little to take care of the Jun clan in order for everything to be finished. Having offended the wrong person, the punishment will not be as light as a general punishment.
Qu Xuanzi turned to look at Xie Ruo, his gaze warming, no longer as cold as before. "Is it still sick?" He remembered Xie Ruo was in a stomachache from eating too much.
Xie Ruo shook his head. "It's healed when it hits people." In fact, he was cured due to the cold flames used to hit Senior Jun. Though previously only permission to the corner to heal himself for a while, but the woman actually bullied him. Of course he doesn't accept.
Looking at Xie Ruo's clothes that were wet from 'playing water' to reveal a beautiful curve of his body. Qu Xuanzi remained silent for a while, then spoke, "Change your clothes, we'll leave."
"Where?" Xie Ruo wondered. By the way, his cultivation has not been completed completely. Although it could come out of the Holy Tower, it still had a lot to learn and reach the final stage of becoming a goddess.
"Follow it out."
Xie Ruo nodded slowly. His gaze was directed at Sheng Xian, feeling uneasy had complicated him. But he couldn't do anything, could only go to change clothes.
For Senior Jun's matter, he will take care of it later when it is leisure.
When everyone had disbanded, including the already unseen Xie Ruo and Qu Xuanzi, the Jun clan stood painstakingly on the side of a fellow mermaid whose tail was now a human leg. The woman looked at Sheng Xian, trying to ask for protection.
"Your Majesty—"
"Jun Hua, go to the ancestral altar and reflect on your mistakes. For the next time, it is forbidden to leave the room, I will educate you myself."
Sheng Xian's cold words made the woman named Jun Hua tensed. It seemed that Sheng Xian was really angry at him. It made Jun Hua even more annoyed at Xie Ruo who gave him this real problem. His tail was almost broken, his head was almost broken. This debt, he will pay it slowly.
"Don't have bad thoughts on anyone, or I won't forgive you." Sheng Xian knew what Jun Hua was thinking through his hate-filled aura. He could only blame himself for Jun Hua's harsh nature, even though the woman had been with him for decades.
