The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
170. The Unsolved Mystery

"I've missed you."

The sound is easily recognized. Xie Ruo was silent for a while. Holding back a smile, he said, "So you infiltrated recklessly. Unfortunately, it seems you're wrong."

"How can I get people wrong?"

"Lately I've been offending someone to protect the owner of this house, you could be the killer sent by him to target the person I'm protecting, but who would have thought you would have to meet me. Don't beat the owner of this house blind, you come suddenly and threaten him."

The man who was none other than Qu Xuanzi, did not know how to react. It seemed like Xie Ruo was playing tricks on him.

"Don't know who owns this house, I just want to see Xie Ruo."

"Xie Ruo you mean, it must be Xie Ruo from the Sacred Tower. Unfortunately, I am Xie Ruo from Canghai City. Don't just because of the name, you're wrong to meet someone."

"I'm not wrong."

"You're wrong."

Qu Xuanzi turned Xie Ruo's body upside down, making them face to face. Xie Ruo was still wearing the mask he gave, with no intention of taking it off.

"I told you once, how much you changed, I still recognize you." Qu Xuanzi pulled the mask on Xie Ruo's face, but the woman instead covered her face with both hands in embarrassment.

"Don't see, I'm so ugly." In the end Xie Ruo did not play around anymore, instead feeling embarrassed because of the makeup he made himself. Why should Qu Xuanzi come over now when he was being raised as an ugly person?

"You're still pretty."

Xie Ruo shook his head. "My mood is bad."

Xie Ruo chased Qu Xuanzi away indirectly, but the man actually tightened his embrace even more.

"Early improved?" Qu Xuanzi smiled, looking at the still bashful Xie Ruo.

"The worse."

Qu Xuanzi lowered Xie Ruo's hand that covered the face. Although Xie Ruo initially refused, but he finally managed to lower Xie Ruo's hand and looked him directly in the eye.

"No need to cover your face, you look beautiful and very sweet."

Xie Ruo widened his eyeballs, then pointed at his ugly makeup. "Beautiful? Are your eyes myopic?"

"If you come out confidently, everyone will say the same. After all, you're still Xie Ruo." Qu Xuanzi spoke honestly. However Xie Ruo changed his face and skin color, except using a face-changing mask, he still looked beautiful in different aspects.

"If you think so, what if I change my face one more time?"

"Are you being bullied by someone?" Qu Xuanzi thought that Xie Ruo who suddenly took the initiative to aggravate the face must have been bullied by someone. Just like in the Xie Clan, he changed face to survive.

"Who can bother me? I just felt I shouldn't be too conspicuous so as not to make the enemy wary. Until I find the perpetrators of the poison spread case, then I show myself. If anyone oppresses, of course it won't stay silent."

Qu Xuanzi. "Actually, like this is also good."

It was good that no other man would take a glance, Xie Ruo knew the intent of the ice vinegar being possessive when in a public place. Being beautiful is so troublesome.

"Why are you here?" As Xie Ruo recalled, Qu Xuanzi was in the Underworld. Is the matter finished that fast?

"I heard you went to help your friend, so I came."

"You know something?" Xie Ruo looked at him curiously. No one could escape Qu Xuanzi's observation, surely the man already knew something once he reached Canghai City.

"Not as much as you."

"Yes, but you know the point." Xie Ruo was still curious as to what he was missing.

"This case is not as simple as the case among humans. Elves in the Fairy World a few years ago also experienced the same thing. After sacrificing many gods and demons, the Lava Continent came under attack, then gathered the remaining fairies in Zhongbu Continent to create a plague. Now, humans are the last target."

"So right, all this 'him' job'. Fortunately I've already checked out the poison 'he' used to invade humans. In some time, there may be preventive and antidote measures. After the Canghai City matter is over, I will return to the Xie Clan to discuss it with Liena. So, even though 'he' made another poison, Liena and I will know about it soon."

"That's good too. But, the spread of poison was only the first step. Not knowing how many weapons were used to complete the sacrificial altar. After the Spirit World was sealed, 'he' had another way to gather souls."

"Is there such a way?"

"In the God World there was a soul gathering array commonly used to attract the souls of the gods to become Gods in the God World. Only gods created by nature and major gods can use them."

"Since 'he' is a god, can you use it?"

Qu Xuanzi shook his head. "That person is not from the God World."

"You mean, there's a God from the World of Gods helping him?" Xie Ruo was curious, who was that god that supported such a monstrous practice?

"That could happen. But his whereabouts are still unknown. Since his partner is likely the main god in the God World or the god created by nature, I cannot trace his soul."

There are three types of gods in the God World. The main gods and gods created by nature are the strongest gods or can be called the king of gods, the rest are gods who begin to cultivate as humans or other races and are appointed as gods.

Qu Xuanzi was among the main gods, as he was born as a god of the two main gods—Dewa Demon and Goddess of Life— who came from the God World. But since his birth was not in the God World, but rather the Three Worlds, his strength was suppressed to the limit of the power that the Three Worlds could bear.

The Upper World was the world of the gods who were still in the training stage. Qu Xuanzi who should have been in the God World, was obstructed due to the matter of the Demon Emperor. Hence, his strength was suppressed by the natural barrier that even the main god could not handle.

If only Qu Xuanzi's strength had not been suppressed, looking for 'he' and his partner was only a small matter. He could find other gods, but not with his 'he' counterpart who was a god created from nature.

"Your theories are complicated." Xie Ruo felt the information obtained was too heavy.

"If it's complicated, don't think about it." Better to see it straight than just a theory. Qu Xuanzi did not want to overload Xie Ruo with all that information.

"By the way, what is the world of Gods like?" Xie Ruo was curious. He already knew about the type of god and his position, but did not know how the condition of the World of Gods.

Qu Xuanzi looked at him for a moment, then smiled. "Too complicated. The thing you know is only the most basic part."

"What about the outline?"

Qu Xuanzi thought for a moment, trying to find a sentence that was easy to understand. "The world of Gods is like space. It is big, beautiful, but also dangerous. Thousands of galaxies in space are just like a place in the God World led by a god king. On top of the god king there was the god emperor who ruled over the entire God World, then there was also the god sage or god elder who had a lifespan of millions of years and did not interfere in the matters of the world. The god elder had a level equivalent to the god emperor."

"So, the concept is like an empire with kingdoms under it. Is it the same as the Upper World?"

"The "Upper World is only a small part of the God World, as it is used for newly appointed deities. So, the most dangerous place that was actually not the Three Worlds above the Upper World, but rather the World of Gods."

"Why dangerous? The word 'god' doesn't sound noble? Is there anything to worry about?"

Xie Ruo thought the World of Gods was a safe place and suitable for him to relax without the burden of the world. Enjoying each season quietly while controlling the world and filled with abundant wealth without worries, that was in his shadow.

Qu Xuanzi pulled Xie Rui's cheek in a daze. "No one can guess someone's thinking." He continued his explanation. "Conflicts in the World of Gods are different from the conflicts of the Three Worlds. The God World was divided into several regions for the god kings, not all of them were obedient to the rules of the God World. There are some who show outright hate. Such people were in an alienated region in the God World, called the dark region, one of its main gods was the Demon God. Some declare obedience, but have other intentions behind the scenes and blend in with other gods to achieve what they want. Such a person was the most wary."

"So, they are racing to win the position of God Emperor?"

Qu Xuanzi nodded slowly, seemingly thinking of something.

Qu Xuanzi looked at Xie Ruo meaningfully, then replied, "He's dead."

Xie Ruo didn't know what to surprise or how because it wasn't really his business. It's just, he's quite curious. "Then, the World of Gods should be in chaos."

"The two Gods are taking care of it, so there won't be much trouble. But, he'll only come out if conditions worsen."

"Since then you've been saying the bad side. Is it so bad?" Xie Ruo did not know how to walk Qu Xuanzi thought. He could only guess, Qu Xuanzi's impression of the God World was not good.

"I said the good thing earlier."

"Yes?"

"Like a big world."

"What about the creation of gods?" Xie Ruo thought there should be something interesting besides his dark side that was explained in detail just now.

"Creator God—major god—will collect the qualified soul of a god from the Upper World, then legally convert him as a third rank god. To a god born in the God World, or the descendant of a major god, would be instantly crowned if considered a pass. Gods born in the God World will be revealed to the Upper World as a test of becoming true Gods. They would also make life in the Three Worlds like a dream, completely detaching themselves from the old life."

"You're saying the bad side again." Xie Ruo pouted.

To break away from the old life means to break off the relationship and forget all the relationships. What if the god was already married in the Three Worlds, then had to stay in the God World and forget his partner? What if .... the god who separated from his partner in the Three Worlds remarried because he does not remember?

Qu Xuanzi understood Xie Ruo's thoughts. He smiled and rubbed Xie Ruo's head gently as he hugged her tightly. "I won't forget you. If I go to God's World, we'll go together."

"Can I?" Suddenly Xie Ruo was worried. After all, Qu Xuanzi was a major god, definitely going to the World of Gods and severing ties with the past. At that time, would Qu Xuanzi still remember him?

"Can." Qu Xuanzi spoke confidently. If it couldn't, it would be fine to wait for Xie Ruo in the Three Worlds.

"If I break my promise, I'll find you and punish you."

Qu Xuanzi chuckled, submerging his head on Xie Ruo's shoulder comfortably. "Do as you please."

"Good."

Xie Ruo did not say anything playful. Unless he died, he wouldn't have looked for Qu Xuanzi if it had really happened. If that happens, they will live.

Xie Ruo only hoped, it would never happen.

༺༻

In the morning, Shi Yang cooked as usual. His mood was in fine form having completed the technique his teacher had given him a few days ago. He trained hard, now can't wait to show it.

But when he finished cooking and put all the food on the table, he felt the presence of others who made him alert. That person was near his teacher, not seeming too dangerous, but Shi Yang clearly sensed that person's aura was terrifying.

Shi Yang hurriedly approached Xie Ruo who was walking side by side with Qu Xuanzi. Since last night, Qu Xuanzi had absolutely no desire to escape with him. Even until now, the man was still clasping his hands as if Xie Ruo would run away at any moment.

"Teacher, this ...." Shi Yang wanted to ask about Qu Xuanzi, but it felt heavy. Is this thing good?

Xie Ruo was aware of this awkward atmosphere. He glanced at Qu Xuanzi who looked extremely cold, as well as the extremely dazed Shi Yang. He sighed.

"We sit first." Xie Ruo hurriedly went towards the dining table and sat down. Qu Xuanzi sat next to him, while Shi Yang sat in front of Xie Ruo.

"Teacher, I managed to complete some of the psychic magic this morning. After breakfast, I'll show you."

Suddenly an idea flashed through Xie Ruo's mind. "What if we go to the Shi Family?"

"The Shi Family ...." Shi Yang was somewhat doubtful.

"Didn't you want revenge?"

"Yes .. we're going." Shi Yang was feeling uneasy now.

"Nothing to worry about. In the past, I experienced the same thing as you. If you believe in yourself and me, you have to be brave. Otherwise, all of your training would have been for naught."

Shi Yang regained his spirit and nodded. "Shi Yang won't let you down."

"Good."

Shi Yang sighed, then slightly shifted to the powerful aura next to Xie Ruo that made him tense up. If he could see, it would probably be much more tense.

"Teacher, if I may know, he—"

"Love."

It wasn't Xie Ruo who answered, it was Qu Xuanzi. Xie Ruo turned his head towards Qu Xuanzi with a gaze of protest.

Qu Xuanzi again whispered, "If I don't say it, you'll say that we're friends."

"Isn't it wrong? Shi Yang was still a child, don't teach him about men and women before success, later on out of focus."

"He's 18 years old." Qu Xuanzi was unwilling to lose in this matter. It was wrong for Xie Ruo to say that they were just friends. He disagreed if others viewed him as Xie Ruo's friend.

"Still small." Xie Ruo still thought the chef was a child. He did not want to know how old he was, for him Shi Yang was still very small.

Qu Xuanzi looked at Xie Ruo for a few seconds, then gave a gentle kiss on the lips making Xie Ruo surprised.

What is this guy doing? Come on, there's a little boy here!

After a few seconds, Qu Xuanzi released a kiss. Xie Ruo glared at the man who felt absolutely no guilt, then looked towards the empty-looking Shi Yang while eating his food. Again Xie Ruo was grateful Shi Yang could not see.

"It doesn't have to be in front of a kid, does it?" Xie Ruo whispered in an annoyed tone.

Qu Xuanzi chuckled, looking at him with a seductive look. "Then, you want to do it in the room?"

Xie Ruo glared at him sharply, then glanced at Shi Yang to make sure he was not heard. However, the girl seemed to stop eating, seemingly hearing Qu Xuanzi's blatant remark.

"Do what?" Shi Yang asked.

Xie Ruo felt like he just wanted to disappear now. He coughed to break the awkwardness, then intended to shift the topic.

"After coming from the Shi Family, I plan on returning to my home to finish something else. I'm freeing you to follow me or not." Although Xie Ruo hoped Shi Yang would follow him to become a chef in the clan.

"I told you, I'll always follow Master." Shi Yang spoke steadily. He then remembered something, and hesitantly spoke, "Then he ...."

Xie Ruo glanced at Qu Xuanzi who still looked calm beside him. Looks like that guy scared his cute coke. "He'll come along. You take it easy, he's not a good person, but he won't bully you."

Shi Yang did not mind. Merely, he felt that the man by his teacher's side was terrifying. How could his teacher find such a suspicious man?

Not many people can be trusted. Shi Yang was always on guard at all times, there was no one other than Xie Ruo whom he trusted. Trust is very important.

Now, someone else came as his teacher's 'lover', he couldn't help but suspect. Given about his father, he certainly could not have a good impression of any man.
