The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
173. The surprise!

After cleaning up and coming out of the bathroom, Xie Ruo looked at Mei Liena who was sitting waiting on the chair while watching the Thunder Spirit closely as if assessing what kind of creature was in front of him.

Ever since seeing the strange ball of feathers that sometimes put on an annoying face, Mei Liena kept thinking what creatures she had missed all this time. There are all sorts of races in the world, but are there any races that are shaped like feather balls and run jumps like that?

He was unaware of Xie Ruo's presence until finally the ball of feathers leaped very high onto Xie Ruo's shoulder. Mei Liena looked at him, then sighed heavily.

"Ruoruo, how did you find such a cute and fierce creature?" Mei Liena was tired of hearing the curse sequence from the foul-mouthed fur ball. His pinching curiosity increased when he saw the feather ball on Xie Ruo's shoulder stick out his tongue while toppling his eyes.

"He is the Spirit of Thunder, not of this world. If I explain it, it'll be very long and won't have time to talk about the shin poison."

Mei Liena snorted, then crossed her legs while leaning back. "So, what did you find?"

Xie Ruo sat down, then gave the note he made while performing the autopsy. All of his analysis was written in full there and was easy to understand. Mei Liena read carefully, then frowned.

"This poison is terrible. It's hard to make an antidote if you don't know the ingredients. I'm guessing, this poison doesn't just use plant material, it's the essence of poisonous animals."

"I've brought someone who's been exposed to the shin poison, you can check it."

"Who?"

"Shi Yang."

Mei Liena was shocked until her eyes widened. "He was poisoned too?"

"Not just Shi Yang, it seemed like the entire population of Canghai City had been contaminated with poison. When it finds the source of the poison, the poison is put into a soil tube and spread through the air. This poison will work slowly if in gaseous form, it will be very devastating in liquid form. I've tested it."

When the poison splattered and exploded just then, he was aware that the liquid poison was so corrosive that it even collapsed the building. Even without an explosion, the leak of poison would definitely destroy everything. It was fortunate that Qu Xuanzi had timely blocked the path of the poison so he managed to control the explosion.

"If the poison is spread through the air .. are you also exposed to the poison?" Mei Liena was horrified to think about it herself.

Xie Ruo shook his head. "Poisons have no effect on me."

"Goodoo. But Shi Yang, will you allow me to test it?"

"Origin does not worsen the condition. You should get permission from him, too."

"I'll work it out." Mei Liena felt that this poison was truly an incredible disaster. He has to work again in a long time.

"For the mastermind behind all this, it would be best if we don't look for him anymore." Xie Ruo felt doubtful.

"What's wrong? You know that?"

"As you say, all of this has to do with the altar of soul sacrifice. Each soul of the entire race would be gathered by someone in one place, no longer the Spirit World. Until the right moment, 'he' will activate it."

"You mean, 'he' has a partner?"

Xie Ruo looked doubtful and it was hard to say. "Better be careful. I thought, it should be 'he' or his partner in the palace and form his own support in the court of the palace to cover the entire case. We should commemorate Rongrong, Yan Yao, and Liu Chang."

"This problem becomes complicated because it has to do with various races. What for the sake of being a 'he' god does everything? Sounds stupid."

"This matter also concerns the Upper World, it's not as simple as you think."

"The Upper World is the abode of the gods. So you mean, isn't 'he' a god? Is that what you're trying to say?" Mei Liena was surprised by her own assumptions.

Xie Ruo nodded. It made Mei Liena sigh in annoyance. Why should his life be so complicated and dangerous? The only ones that could not be faced were gods and demons, it was truly a real test!

"So, we'll stop after finishing the bidder?" Mei Liena was tired. Hearing Xie Ruo's remark, it was clear that his side was the least benefited. They will not be able to fight the gods even if all humans are united.

"Actually, that doesn't mean there's no solution. In the end we will fall into this matter after thwarting the plan of 'he', I also can not escape from the beginning. Right now, all I think about solving it is finding the identity of 'he' in the empire."

Mei Liena looked at Xie Ruo thoughtfully. "Do you suspect the Emperor? I think he's the most suspicious." Rarely encountered but having a strong foundation, the Emperor often disappeared even indistinctly and very mysteriously. He is also known to be cold-blooded.

"That could happen." Xie Ruo sighed. "It looks like I should ask Rongrong for help with the imperial family data. We can't assume that. For the time being, you look for the antidote with Shi Yang, the rest leave it to me."

Mei Liena nodded. He is very busy starting today.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The family banquet was held again after many years. The heads of the families prepared to go to the hall that had become so busy. They held a banquet so suddenly that many servants and workers were troubled.

Everything was finished in half a day. It was already evening, everyone gathered inside the hall that had been prepared with various food and decorations to welcome Xie Ruo's return to the Xie Clan.

They sit and talk to each other. Many were wondering how they could miss the news regarding Xie Ruo that had suddenly appeared. During this time the clan only had a daughter, Xie Ran. Many questions were on their minds, but could only ask them when the Clan Leader came later.

They sat in their respective places, making Xie Wang and Su Liu'er the center at the end of the hall. The current atmosphere seemed bright, but it was also confused together.

The reason, Xie Ruo's face was very foreign to them. Some of them had lost their memories during the clan cleansing back then, that was why they did not feel familiar. But for the few whose memories did not disappear, they were certainly very familiar with Xie Ruo's face that resembled Wen Xi's.

"Today is a happy day for the Xie Clan, a day that has been highly anticipated for many years. You guys probably don't know, the Xie Clan doesn't only have one daughter. Xie Ruo is the twin brother of Xie Ran that you know, separated from all of us for so many years since childhood, it is only natural that you do not know him. Now, Xie Ruo has officially returned, we should definitely celebrate."

Everyone finally understood after the explanation. Although there were many irregularities, they did not question many things.

They continued the banquet with great fanfare. There is dance and music, of course, accompanied by good food that now distracts Xie Ruo.

While Xiao Caihong was with Su Liu'er and was greatly pampered, so was Xie Wang who conversed with the heads of the family. Mei Liena held an interrogation session to Shi Yang at the same time so the two seemed busy.

"Ruoruo, where is Young Master Qu?" Mei Liena asked in confusion. Since earlier, he had not seen Qu Xuanzi's presence. Didn't the man just say he was coming?

"Maybe busy." Xie Ruo remained calm with the food in his hands. Qu Xuanzi was not a leisurely person, his business was much more, it could be that now that the man was fighting with someone in the distance there. No one knows.

"The rich are free." Mei Liena muttered, making Xie Ruo chuckle.

"Actually, Qu Xuanzi recognized the person behind all the tragedies, just simply not knowing of its existence."

"They know? Isn't .. should he be able to help?"

"He is helping. How do you think I got out of Canghai City so easily after the poison leak?" Xie Ruo had previously told him all of his experiences in Canghai City. Sure Mei Liena understands.

Mei Liena became even more curious. Previously Xie Ruo had said that his mastermind was a god, but how could a god be familiar with 'Young Master Qu'?

"Ruoruo—"

Just as Mei Liena was about to ask that nagging thing, her sentence was cut off after the guards announced Qu Xuanzi's arrival. Forced Mei Liena to swallow back her sentence.

Qu Xuanzi came with his domineering aura, making the family heads hold their breaths. Somehow all of a sudden they felt shivering looking at that untouched cold face.

Now the hall became quiet because of his arrival. Even Xie Wang and Su Liu'er had to stand up to greet him given who they were facing. Who would have thought that man would come in the middle of the event.

"Sorry to be late, there are a few things to take care of before coming here." Qu Xuanzi spoke in an emotionless tone.

Xie Wang stuttered. "Yes ... Mr. Qu, no problem .. no problem .. the banquet is still ongoing, please occupy a seat that has been specifically provided."

"No need, because I'm quite in a hurry." Qu Xuanzi was straight to the point. He looked towards Xie Ruo, then smiled faintly. "I've come to tell you, that I'm going to marry Xie Ruo in the near future, please Clan Chief take care of the rest."

Hygiene ....

They froze at the startling expression that had just come from that emotionless voice. Some even to the point of unconsciousness, the chopsticks in their hands were falling down to his surprise. Not only chopsticks, there are also choking until they feel tight.

Even Mei Liena nearly spouted a drink in her mouth in surprise. As a result he coughed loudly, then looked at Xie Ruo who was silent a thousand words.

Qu Xuanzi looked towards the stunned Xie Wang, then continued. "For the session, tomorrow morning will be delivered on time. If the Clan Chief has a request, it can be said directly, I will send it right away."

Qu Xuanzi did not need to wait for an answer, as he did not need that. He looked at Xie Ruo who was twitching, feeling like laughing because of his reaction. He also left in a good mood.

Silence enveloped the hall within seconds of Qu Xuanzi's departure. It all happened so quickly, but it was also very noticeable. The mysterious man ... dare to propose to their lady blatantly? Without rejection!

Mei Liena regained consciousness first, then looked at Xie Ruo who was still speechless. He thought about Qu Xuanzi's last words. "Ruoruo, how rich is Young Master Qu?"

Xie Ruo's eyes twitched. He felt too surprised to experience hiccups because he heard the shocking thing while eating. How could it be so sudden? Why not talk to him first?

Xie Ruo recalled Qu Xuanzi's words 10 years ago, then looked at the ring Qu Xuanzi had given him back then. Right, he's doing it now. In an unexpected moment! Come on, he just got home and hasn't had a break yet!

Su Liu'er realized faster than Xie Wang, then saw the cool Xiao Caihong eating no matter what had just happened. Someone just said he was going to marry his granddaughter and leave. This is a real surprise!

If it was anyone else, it was certain that Xie Wang and Su Liu'er would protest. But it was Qu Xuanzi, his position higher than the Human Emperor, how could they protest? Moreover, the man left just like that, indirectly asserting that they were not given a chance to think or refuse.

"Ruoruo, we'll talk about this later." Xie Wang needs to breathe. He had just been happy about his granddaughter's arrival, but suddenly someone came to snatch her new granddaughter home. It was a heavy blow that weakened his mentality!

Xie Ruo just kept quiet without saying anything. I really don't know if I should laugh or cry. He should have thought about this from the start, that Qu Xuanzi had prepared everything when he planned on returning to the Clan.

"Miss, congratulations on your marriage ...." One of the heads of the family broke the silence and offered wine without congratulations. Realizing the extremely lonely situation, he chuckled in an awkward manner before finally the other head of the family let out a congratulatory note.

In the end, the banquet dispersed in an awkward manner after the series of congratulations addressed to Xie Ruo. This was the first time for the Xie Clan to face such an awkward situation like this.
