Oh, Your Highness Emperor Zhong, do you have no other taste than married women? Although it was not entirely Zhong Guofeng's fault that no one knew, it still felt like a joke. Therefore, Xie Ruo would not be indignantly indistinct. Justjust make sure.
Right now, Xie Ruo was so astonished who exactly Zhong Guofeng liked. Xie Ran or Xie Ruo? Didn't Zhong Guofeng also ask 'Xie Ran' to be his wife? Never mind, the Emperor wants to have how many wives, not his business.
"For that, please think back." For some reason, suddenly Xie Ruo was grateful Qu Xuanzi did not come along. A joke like this was not at all funny to Qu Xuanzi. This time, he will try to save his old friend.
"I've thought about it."
"Can't." Xie Ruo said clearly. In the past, he was married twice.
"Don't you want to know why I proposed to you, when we haven't met?"
"That's what I'm afraid of. Whatever the reason, I can't. Please Your Majesty does not waste time." Xie Ruo did not care what Zhong Guofeng fancied at first glance or there was a veiled intent.
Whatever the reason, he should not be recklessly toying with marriage. He is married, why should he marry again? It was just a joke!
"There are so many women in the Holy Tower, they might be more willing. But of course, it must be with the approval of the Queen of the Holy Tower." Xie Ruo took another solution.
"How's this? I came after hearing the news about you. You brothers do have a lot of similarities." Zhong Guofeng looked at his stance, instead he looked increasingly interested.
"So you came because I look like Xie Ran?"
"There's a lot of trouble in the empire, I hope Second Miss can help."
"I might be able to help, but with another identity. Your Majesty, I respect you because you are the Emperor, as well as an old friend of 'my brother'. I'm not a person with a good temper." Xie Ruo had so clearly kicked him out blatantly, why was that man still so stubborn?
"Ruoruo, it would be best if discussed calmly." Qiong Lin knew Xie Ruo's chaotic temperament very well. He was afraid that it would offend Zhong Guofeng. After all, marrying Emperor Zhong was no big deal.
"Senior, I've been very calm." Xie Ruo glanced at Qiong Lin expressionlessly, then looked back at Zhong Guofeng. "The internal condition of the Holy Tower is not good, there are many problems to be solved. Of course, Your Majesty should have understood."
Zhong Guofeng did not look offended, instead looking more relaxed. He seemed to have expected it from the beginning and prepared all plans before coming.
"Second Miss, you are indeed very similar to her, I was rather surprised. But even if you refuse, no one has been able to defy the emperor's orders all along. Do you want to bring the entire Holy Tower into your trouble?"
Is that a threat? Xie Ruo narrowed his eyes. He drew the expression that he was grateful Qu Xuanzi had not come. Long time no see, this guy's getting annoying. Has Zhong Guofeng been kind and low just in front of him when he became Xie Ran?
If it was true like that, Xie Ruo felt this man was more dangerous than he thought. It could be, his current actions are also in a plan that has been arranged in such a way. Plus, his suspicion of the Demon God residing in the imperial palace had been increasing lately.
"Your Majesty, there's one thing I haven't told you yet, that might change your interest in me." Xie Ruo intended to end everything right now. It should not allow the suspicious Zhong Guofeng to be here. "I'm married."
In the end, Xie Ruo announced his new status. Despite not telling who married her, it exactly made Qiong Lin very surprised. Even Zhong Guofeng was speechless.
"Ruoruo ... why didn't you tell me?" Qiong Lin was very surprised. It was only fitting that Xie Ruo had no news. Why not tell me from the beginning?
Xie Ruo glanced at him, then looked towards Zhu Zhu who was just silently looking down. "He should have known. I've invited Master, but I'm not coming."
Qiong Lin glanced at Zhu Zhu next to him, while the woman looked at Xie Ruo in confusion. Teacher not attending the wedding?
Just now Zhu Zhu wanted to say that Sheng Xian had already gone to the Upper World back then, but Zhong Guofeng's voice refuting Xie Ruo's statement stopped him.
"Second Miss, are you trying to quibble?" Zhong Guofeng certainly could not believe it. Anyone could use that excuse, even himself.
"Why should I lie?" Xie Ruo was annoyed at being misunderstood. It seems useless that he said it without evidence. The problem was, Qu Xuanzi did not come along.
"Everyone can say it. Now, I'm asking you. Do you believe that I have three concubines?"
"Anyone can have a concubine." Although Xie Ruo actually did not believe it. Ah, why is he so caught up in someone's logic!
"Your face says that you don't believe. Just like me, I can't believe you're married to someone. After all, who's the crazy guy who wants to marry a more domineering woman?"
Didn't a certain emperor also propose to her like a madman? Actually, Zhong Guofeng was petrifying himself. Xie Ruo need not be offended.
"Of course except me. Based on strength, Second Miss is slightly below me, enough for Second Miss to depend on." Zhong Guofeng spoke confidently.
Xie Ruo rolled his eyeballs, feeling already out of his mind about this one lunatic. He glanced at Qiong Lin who was starting to break out in cold sweat. Looks like there's going to be a show.
"Zhong Guofeng ...." Xie Ruo then looked at the man with an annoyed look. "Are you actually praising me or insulting me?"
Qiong Lin felt his soul drift at this very moment. How did this shameless junior mention the name of the emperor! Even using a protest tone!
"Second Miss seems to have accepted me. Then we just have to set a good date."
"You!"
Xie Ruo wanted to throw a fist towards the man, yet Qiong Lin instantly held him back with all his might. Xie Ruo's emotions were being extremely unkind. Since when did he receive the proposal! Does that man not understand human language!
"Second Miss seemed to be in a great hurry. Unfortunately, Miss has to wait a little bit." Zhong Guofeng put on a mocking smile, saying that he had won.
Xie Ruo increasingly wanted to tear him apart. What kind of ugly words is that! Truly, he was annoyed and desperately wanted to burn the man alive. The time he was forced to cheat! Goddamn hick!
"Zhong Guofeng, you're shameless." Xie Ruo tried to be patient. He doesn't like jokes like this. What the hell is this condition!
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Aren't you afraid I'm gonna kill you?" Xie Ruo did not know that he could be so emotional. Never mind, the point is that he is upset.
"You can't afford it." Zhong Guofeng remained smiling as if he was mocking.
"Unable?" Somehow Zhong Guofeng was able to imitate Qu Xuanzi's sentence while being threatening him. "In that case, I won't hesitate."
Zhong Guofeng actually seemed to enjoy it. "Second Miss apparently likes to play aggressively, I'm quite flattered."
Xie Ruo increasingly felt that Zhong Guofeng indeed deserved to call himself a little stronger than Xie Ruo. Even in the face of the elemental spirit sword, the man did not twitch, different from the human behind him who was already cornered.
Xie Ruo thought it was okay to be a little rude. Other than to repel Zhong Guofeng, he wanted to know the man's mysterious power. Whether it is worth cooperating or suspecting, it will be determined at the end of the fight.
"Second Miss, you know the consequences of attacking the imperial family, right?"
"What if used for requirements? If I win, you go and don't come back. If I lose, I'll come with you .. but that doesn't mean I agree!" Xie Ruo did not want to take excessive risks. That's enough.
"That's enough." Zhong Guofeng remained with his handsome smile.
The silver light shot out like a gust of wind, hurtling towards Zhong Guofeng with a slender sword blow behind the silver light. Cold flames started to spread, coating the floor with ice and burning the target with a terrifying hot aura.
Zhong Guofeng did not use any weapons at all. He did not dodge, instead raising his hand to resist the attack of cold flames that shot out with one hand.
Since he should not use force excessively, he chose to divert the cold flames in the other direction, allowing Xie Ruo to turn around after missing and launch a bow kick from the air.
Xie Ruo could not underestimate Zhong Guofeng considering he could not guess the man's strength as well as recognize his breath. That was why, he placed the rest of the cold flames at Zhong Guofeng's feet when he unsheathed the sword just now.
The rest of the cold flames would freeze, and propagate into parasites at Zhong Guofeng's feet thus creating a numbing effect so as not to be able to dodge the attack.
Zhong Guofeng could not move places despite wanting to. He was silent, moving his hand to let out a faint light that was propagating towards Xie Ruo.
The light was like a rope that continued to lengthen and spiked like a vine. Just a few rays, it wandered through the air as if uncontrollably until it was like a tangled thread floating about.
The threads moved very quickly carrying out an attack towards Xie Ruo. Xie Ruo swung the sword, cutting every inch of strange thread and avoiding the thread incision that often cut the end of his dress.
The thread ... Xie Ruo felt familiar. But he could not think of it any further since he had to focus on the complicated battles.
The Xie Ruo Sword emitted a golden light that mixed with the thunder spirit. A flash of lightning struck, followed by the shadow of thousands of swords accompanied by a gushing wind carrying the swords in a random direction cut through all the strange threads.
As the thousands of swords worked like lightning, Xie Ruo teleported towards Zhong Guofeng and raised his sword. He slashed his sword quickly and revolved at the exact moment when Zhong Guofeng was about to attack.
Although Zhong Guofeng's legs were locked, he could still use his hands and spiritual power to conduct self-defense. In addition, his speed was also no less fast so it made Xie Ruo lose the gap.
Zhong Guofeng must have deliberately upset him. Xie Ruo tried to remain calm while thinking about what was the right plan to defeat the man.
While the strange threads of the man were lacing with threat, Xie Ruo darted away from any red thread blocking the way. The silver light in his hand formed a sly blade that was quite large, darting like meteors consecutively towards Zhong Guofeng.
Zhong Guofeng made the barrier so that the barrage was destroyed by the barrier. Golden light crept across the floor, merging with the floor in all directions like a branch.
Xie Ruo jumped dodging the golden light that appeared. He stuck his sword on the floor until it cracked, then pressed down on the pressure of the golden light that was pressing down on him so as not to move freely.
The radar in battle was filled with a dangerous aura. Both hot and cold, the two silver and gold lights clashed against each other and shattered.
Qiong Lin and Zhu Zhu were both anxious. They do not know who to judge and who to win and lose because both of them show extraordinary abilities that are rarely seen.
One attacks and one defends, then counterattacks are larger and must be received with high pressure to cause an explosion. All of that kept repeating, until the time period of the ice parasite at Zhong Guofeng's feet ran out.
When Xie Ruo re-launched the attack, Zhong Guofeng disappeared from the spot along with the threads surrounding him. Xie Ruo's attack hit the wall, creating a large hole accompanied by an explosion as if it had been planted with a bomb.
Xie Ruo stood on the edge of the hollow wall, looking at the bright outside world and contrasting the conditions within the palace. He searched for Zhong Guofeng's whereabouts, but could not sense his whereabouts. It's happening again.
Until Xie Ruo finally felt an extremely dense aura flashed next to him and approached. Xie Ruo immediately lowered his head back, letting the golden light pass over him and drift outside after passing through the wall hole.
"In accordance with the reputation, does not disappoint." Zhong Wenyue floated in the air with an unchanging smile. He looked at Xie Ruo with a triumphant gaze.
Xie Ruo frowned. Zhong Guofeng can fly? Although he knew there were some cultivators who could fly, but they should have been helped by the wings of a certain magic. Zhong Guofeng was able to reach a stage where Xie Ruo had not been able to do so, it was clear this situation had become dire.
Winning and losing had yet to be determined, Xie Ruo would not miss the chance to test his abilities right now. Although it would not kill Zhong Guofeng, a little bit of getting him injured alone was enough.
Xie Ruo continued the assault. He darted out through the wall hole, snatching Zhong Guofeng with his sword. Although he could not fly, he could use the air as his footstool as long as it did not stop moving.
Several sword shadows also shot out with Xie Ruo. The swords changed direction to each other and launched an attack towards Zhong Guofeng from various directions.
Zhong Guofeng dodged precisely as thousands of swords shot out simultaneously. His speed could be said to be terrifying until the thousands of swords were clashing against each other and turning to chase after him.
When Zhong Guofeng's position was chased by thousands of swords, he suddenly felt his neck hit by a cold object incision to drain the red liquid.
"Zhong Guofeng, if you continue, my sword will separate your head." Xie Ruo was already present in front of Zhong Guofeng while holding his body hovering in the air using the man's shoulder to keep from falling.
Zhong Guofeng looked at the red liquid that flowed into Xie Ruo's sword passage, then smiled when he saw his eyes. "If I'm on the ground, chances are I'll lose. Miss, you should know your field is not the sky."
Zhong Guofeng pulled Xie Ruo's waist not too far away from him. Xie Ruo was somewhat surprised. His body floated in the air and spun upwards as if gravity was disappearing.
Zhong Guofeng parried Xie Ruo's sword until it fell, then grabbed his arm and pulled it from the sky. Quickly, Xie Ruo changed position and kicked Zhong Guofeng in the hand. He used Zhong Guofeng's shoulder as his footstool, then wrapped around the man's neck and dropped him to the ground.
"You shouldn't be soft on rude people." Xie Ruo landed lightly on the ground, looking at Zhong Guofeng who landed unbalancedly due to the kick just now.
Zhong Guofeng chuckled, not seeming to be upset or sorry at all. He looked at Xie Ruo with the same smile, without any change while rubbing the bloody part of his neck.
"I underestimated you too much." Zhong Guofeng laughed, then tidied up his chaotic clothes from the battle. "It turns out, you're much stronger than before."
Xie Ruo frowned. Did Zhong Guofeng know his secret as Xie Ran?
