"Here you go, I don't take care of it anymore." Mei Liena raised her hand sign of surrender. "There's still other business that's just as important, I'm busy first. Bye bye!"
The woman just ran out of the room. If possible, he went out while looking for a mate so as not to continue to be overstepped, even though in reality he became the only unmarried one among the youngest.
The problem is, the men are afraid of him and on average are married, at least can only find a widower, or sugar daddy if necessary. That's why he became a permanent singles until his age will be 30 years old.
"Pity Liena, by the way." Zhong Xiaorong sighed. Then looked at Pei Xi, Zhou Kui, and Liu Chang. "Three of you, don't you have the slightest intention of Liena? Rather than continue to be chased by spoiled and stupid women, it was better to drag Liena."
"Rongrong, if I do, I'm not sure my life will be at peace." Liu Chang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Is your life calm?" Zhong Xiaorong replied cynically, then glanced at Pei Xi and Zhou Kui.
Forget Pei Xi who failed to move on, Zhou Kui even loved weapons more than humans. None of her friends are normal.
"Ruoruo, have you prepared much? Like dresses, places, party stuff, and more?"
"Is that necessary?" Xie Ruo replied as he again chewed on the chips, looking indifferent.
Zhong Xiaorong felt anxious. "Aren't you getting married? The one who got married wasn't your grandparents, but you!"
"Let them take care of me, I don't understand."
"Ruoruo, aren't you intending to get married? When I got married back then, I was wearing a wedding dress that my mom used and modified, do you have one?"
Xie Ruo had never even asked what his mother liked, let alone the matter of his father and mother's marriage? At least the red dress is oversize and ribet until it can sweep the ground like in drama.
In response, Xie Ruo shook his head slowly. He felt anxious to go elsewhere and research the poison together with Mei Liena and Shi Yang.
"Ruoruo, is this a serious matter?"
"What's so serious? I can wear whatever clothes I like. Why is it complicated?"
"It's not for war but marriage!"
"I knew. Isn't it the same?" Xie Ruo prefers the modern concept of marriage. Her dress did not need to sweep the ground clean and she only needed to use simple makeup.
"Have it, let the elder take care of." Zhong Xiaorong sighed. He did not understand how Xie Ruo thought.
Looking at the so busy Zhong Xiaorong, Xie Ruo whispered to Yan Yao to pamper some things. "Was she like that at your wedding?"
"Of course." Yan Yao shook her shoulders.
Xie Ruo frowned. "You're her husband, how don't you know?"
"You know he's very picky, I didn't interfere in his choice." Yan Yao responded with a wry smile. Even until now, Zhong Xiaorong's temperament was still unruly and liked to make troublemakers.
"How do you think it feels after marriage?" Xie Ruo was curious. Will the relationship be different? What about thinking and everyday?
Yan Yao was silent for a while, seemingly thinking of something. He also spoke in a low tone. "After marriage, I suggest you don't do much. I don't know how Tuan—'s temperamentwhoever it calls— I suggest to be calm on the first night."
Xie Ruo frowned, looking at Yan Yao with a strange look. "It seems you misunderstood. I asked you something else." He never asked about the first night.
Yan Yao was barely speechless. Right, it seems he misunderstood. But there was no harm in reminding a little not to be like Zhong Xiaorong who got drunk and slept first on the first night.
Zhou Kui and Liu Chang almost laughed out loud hearing it, while Zhong Xiaorong's face was crimson in silence. Yan Yao could only thicken her face.
Yan Yao scratched her non-itchy nape. "Yes, not much has changed. You know, me and Rongrong sometimes still don't get along."
"I think you understand a little more than you used to. Otherwise, how could Rongrong possibly want to stay in the Yan Clan?" Liu Chang continued the assessment.
"What does understand? I had to." Zhong Xiaorong pouted as he crossed both hands.
"That is, isn't your relationship better than before?" Zhou Kui sighed. He already knew the strange couple would not admit to being prestige.
"So so ...." Xie Ruo muttered while propping up his head with his hands propped up on his knees.
From their words, it was no different from dating, only that the relationship would go even further. Marriage is just an official name to be recognized and responsible for each other.
Pei Xi watched in silence. In the end, he lost as well. There was indeed no point harboring feelings, but he was helpless in front of Xie Ruo. He can only be a good brother and see the happiness of his sister. That's enough.
It seemed, he also had to look for another woman so as not to be spurred on by the faint feeling that made him claustrophobic at all times.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Within two weeks, Xie Wang made preparations assisted by a Dou to go to the Upper World. They will leave the next day for further preparation. Xie Ruo did not interfere with any sort of sinking problem, he only acted as an observer from the start.
All his life, Xie Ruo had never held a party or anything like that, so he had no idea what to do. The only thing he doesn't know is that. He thinks it's all boring.
Mei Liena had already started her research with Shi Yang. Sometimes Xie Ruo visited to relieve boredom, like this time, the woman sat in silence while hugging the pillow lazily.
"Ruoruo, have you not met His Majesty?" Mei Liena had learned to refer to Qu Xuanzi by that designation. He would feel awkward if he called him sister-in-law or big brother now.
"I don't even know where he is" muttered Xie Ruo.
"What's wrong, Master and Your Majesty can be together much longer." Shi Yang smiled widely. He was very happy to hear the news about his teacher getting married, unfortunately he could not see directly. His teacher would be so beautiful.
"What?" Xie Ruo grumbled. Where do you meet more often? After the wedding, he would return to the Holy Tower. I don't know what other dramas are going to happen there that add to his duties. The point is, they are both busy people.
Mei Liena chuckled at the study table, then continued the research with Shi Yang's blood and made a note. It's hard, that's why he has to be chested.
Momentary silence. But suddenly Mei Liena's instincts rang when a small snake approached on the table. The snake hissed, Mei Liena listened to her little spy.
The next second, Mei Liena moved from the chair to the seat that shifted to wake Xie Ruo up. Shi Yang who was feeding the trial rats was even surprised.
"I think I'm forgetting something very important. Yangyang, your perception is better than mine, help me find the jade I'm so hard-earned to steal from the blood beehive."
Shi Yang looked doubtful. "That's not—"
"I'm in a hurry. If you don't take it now, I'll have to take your blood again." Mei Liena pulled him while carrying a porcelain bottle containing Shi Yang's blood.
"Teacher, I'm going first." Shi Yang paid his respects to Xie Ruo and went following the direction of the pull.
Xie Ruo shook his hands freeing them to act. Since now the room was quiet, he got up from the chair and sat down on Mei Liena's chair to see what poison Mei Liena had produced so far.
He used a jade hand and opened one by one the collected porcelain bottles. Look at it and smell it. The average poison that Mei Liena made was made from poisonous plants taken from dangerous regions. Apparently the boy had the ability to pick up all the ingredients.
Xie Ruo used to play with chemicals, even to blow up the room because of a failed experiment. Just like in the Holy Tower, he blew up the room many times in order to make an explosive weapon. The Holy Tower has abundant minerals, dear if not used properly.
Speaking of weapons, over the past 10 years Xie Ruo has made many weapons of his own. Both traditional and modern weapons, combined with magic to match the weapons of this world.
Surely, the weapon was for his friends as well as for auctioning at a high price. He had sold it while in the Night Shadow Sect, also storing the rest of the better weapons for toys himself.
Suddenly a thought came. What happens if the gun that can make someone's head explode is added poison belonging to Mei Liena? If an explosion that came from cold fire bullets could infect other enemies and create another explosion with a single shot, it would be a deadly mass weapon!
Xie Ruo looked for a poison that was in accordance with his criteria then mixed it with another poison to make a new concoction. Inside the transparent bottle, there is a new toxin with a mixture of ingredients that he thinks can make a disaster, added with aluminum liquid to blend with the bullet and then heat it up.
He has made the latest bullet with an extreme blast of cold flames. The process looks complicated, but he thinks it's easy. One small bullet with a burst of streaks, he was eager to give it a try.
"So, Ruoruo is making a new weapon?"
Xie Ruo spontaneously stood up and looked back. His waist was pulled just like that into someone's arms. If it was someone else, Xie Ruo would probably have made him feel the bullet he had just made, clumping his hand holding a poisonous gun. Unfortunately, that person was Qu Xuanzi!
"It turns out you. I almost took off the bullet." No one dared to hug her all of a sudden, except for Qu Xuanzi. That was why he dared to resort to violence if there were others who were insolent. It also included a rescue attempt from a tyrant bottle of vinegar.
"Since you weren't there, it's been here."
"You looking for me?"
"I don't have to look for you, I know where you are."
"So grandpa was looking for me?" Xie Ruo guessed. Who else is looking for it without visiting directly at this residence? While his grandmother was busy with Xiao Caihong.
Qu Xuanzi nodded slowly. "Tomorrow you will go to the Upper World, but I will take you first tonight. Xie Wang is looking for you to ask for an opinion."
"If so, I'll choose to go first. Basically, there's nothing I need to prepare. They're the only ones who bother."
Xie Ruo still did not understand why the serepot was. Lately the clan has always been busy, when what should be bothered is the Upper World.
Then he saw the gun in the hand he was still holding. While storing the gun into his spatial chirp, he said, "I have to wash my hands, there are so many poisons."
But Qu Xuanzi did not let him go, instead tightening his arms that encircled Xie Ruo's waist.
Xie Ruo looked at him disapprovingly, then showed his two jade-coated hands. "Although invisible, there are many dangerous poisons here."
"Oh yeah?" Qu Xuanzi grabbed one of Xie Ruo's hands, then peeked at the back of his hand.
This made Xie Ruo surprised. Has Qu Xuanzi's brain been in trouble lately? He hurriedly withdrew his hand and hid it on his back.
"What are you doing? What if it's poisoning?" Although Qu Xuanzi is strong, but shouldn't he still be careful? How could it be so reckless?
Qu Xuanzi chuckled. "No poison can kill me, even if it can kill other gods."
Xie Ruo blinked his eyes. How could he forget that this person was a monster among the gods? Just panic.
"In that case, I won't hesitate." Xie Ruo draped both of his arms around Qu Xuanzi's neck.
Xie Ruo did not know what he was thinking, but looking into those deep eyes made his heart tingle. Qu Xuanzi's touch made him warm, warm to the point of subconsciously feeling hot.
One of the hands that circled the waist turned to the nape, bringing his face closer to get a cold-looking pink lip, letting the instincts go as you wish.
But once the gap was erased, just one step to reach the bottom, suddenly the sound of an open door caused their consciousness to return to the real world.
"Ruoruo~" Zhong Xiaorong looked at the open door, waving at Xie Ruo.
Spontaneous Xie Ruo ran towards Zhong Xiaorong who did not know the time. When the woman looked at Qu Xuanzi who was also inside with a dark look, Zhong Xiaorong smiled guiltlessly. In fact, he himself did not know why Qu Xuanzi's face had darkened.
Zhong Xiaorong greeted Qu Xuanzi. "Big Brother!" Then whispered to Xie Ruo. "You guys got into a fight?"
"What are you doing here?" Xie Ruo did not care about Zhong Xiaorong's thoughts and directly asked him.
"The Clan Chief said you're going to the Upper World tonight, I came to tell you. But it seems ...." He glanced at Qu Xuanzi carefully. Then he continued, "You know first."
"I already know."
"Don't that mean my arrival is disturbing?" Zhong Xiaorong pouted. Can't Xie Ruo be a little gentle on 'little girl' like that?
"Actually, your arrival was not in vain." A porcelain bottle floated in the air and fell into his hands. He gave the bottle to Zhong Xiaorong. "May Liena seemed to have forgotten to bring the most important thing, you delivered it to her because I had to meet Grandpa."
"What's this?" Zhong Xiaorong wanted to open up, yet Xie Ruo directly held him back.
"You don't want to die of poisoning, do you?"
Zhong Xiaorong was startled, then shook his head quickly. "I'll deliver this."
Xie Ruo smiled, then turned to look at Qu Xuanzi who was leaning against the wall. "As you said, Grandpa called me."
Qu Xuanzi sighed. Though there was a little more left, but the thick-faced woman was bothering him so that Xie Ruo had a reason to meet Xie Wang.
Inevitably, Qu Xuanzi walked side by side with Xie Ruo towards Xie Wang's room. Zhong Xiaorong only looked, somewhat surprised by Qu Xuanzi's cold gaze which made him freeze.
Zhong Xiaorong had just come to his senses, it seemed like he made a mistake. Looking again at the porcelain bottle filled with poison, he began to think, was Xie Ruo reminding him? His hair stood all over as he went away from the horrible couple.
Xie Ruo went to meet Xie Wang who was again acting excited as if he was going to leave for eternity.
As for Su Liu'er, it seemed like the middle-aged woman preferred Xiao Caihong over her own grandson. He let Xie Ruo go because it was only temporary, but kept Xiao Caihong from going with Xie Ruo and persuaded him to die. Even Xie Wang started following along after letting go of Xie Ruo.
Xie Ruo hesitated. What exactly was Xiao Caihong the granddaughter of theirs who was unknown to his whereabouts? What about Xie Ruo?
"Okay, I'm being set up." Xie Ruo pouted, looking at Xiao Caihong with envy.
"It seems, your grandma and grandpa are in a hurry to have a great-granddaughter." Qu Xuanzi smilingly looked at Xie Ruo.
Xie Ruo sneered, looking towards his grandmother and grandfather who were starting to ignore him for the sake of a brat. "If you like children, why not make it yourself? If you need to pick up more kids on the street."
Qu Xuanzi did not know how to explain his point. It seemed like Xie Ruo's mood was really bad to the point of not being able to speak properly. Everything is linked to emotion.
"Before you go, don't you want to fill your stomach?"
"You want to cook?" Xie Ruo just hooked up when talking about food.
Qu Xuanzi laughed in his heart seeing Xie Ruo's reaction, then nodded. "I'm the cook."
"As soon as, I'm still very hungry. Pei Xi brought too little food, not a serving every day." Suddenly Xie Ruo's mood improved after thinking about food. "Let's go to the kitchen!"
Xie Ruo pulled Qu Xuanzi away towards the residence kitchen. He feels very hungry now, deserves always emotional and insensitive. Though he had just spent the favorite dry snack Mei Liena until the woman had to mourn the departure of the snack because of a greedy friend.
In fact, it was not that Xie Ruo was truly insensitive. He only shifted the topic because he did not want to be caught in Qu Xuanzi's devious trap. It wasn't that easy trapping him in words.
After enjoying the typical dishes of a five-star restaurant alone, they went to the Upper World at night.
Xie Ruo did not use the slightest bit of strength, Qu Xuanzi who lifted him straight up and flew towards the destination.
