The two figures were opposite each other, clashing weapons and blasting magic. The wind blew fiercely, bringing about destruction and dragging each magic to an uncontrollable level.
The steep mountain peak accompanied the endless vast sea, was now filled with countless black blood and ash. Thousands of black figures swept over the place crazily, and crumbled in various rays turning them into ashes.
The golden rays slashed at the black-robed figure like lightning, scattering it into shreds of shadows as if the black-robed figure was an illusion. Instead of being destroyed, the black figure appeared again like a ghost and launched a pitch-black fog that was so dense.
Qu Xuanzi quickly held him back. The golden light in his hand crept up, devouring the black-robed figure like a lunge into a storm and smashing through it without a remnant.
It was just cloning. It had been three times that Qu Xuanzi had found the clone of the Demon God in these few days. Even if it was just cloning, its strength could not be underestimated.
The border of the three realms had always been a dangerous place, especially in the times when demons roamed around looking for souls to devour. Just a moment ago, Qu Xuanzi suddenly sensed Xie Ruo's presence.
The only place bordering its current location was Mount Wu. Mount Wu is a mysterious place, because it is a place where the borders of the three realms are located.
Qu Xuanzi sensed Xie Ruo's whereabouts, surely that woman was in Border Town. I don't know what he's doing.
The Azure Dragon landed in a human form, kneeling behind Qu Xuanzi.
"How is he doing?" ask Qu Xuanzi.
"Your Majesty, the gods have already completed the closing of the border and sealing of hell. There are too many monsters and demons, they're waiting for orders."
"Not that one."
The Azure Dragon has understood. Too busy dealing with the problem, to not realize who exactly asked his master. It seems like his master is missing someone.
"Before when I went to Middle World, I saw Madam in Border Town. It seems, his mood is not good. The fire burned down a house containing a human and some demons. After that, go towards the Capital. Since his mood was not good, no one dared to come closer."
It seemed like Xie Ruo had found something. Whenever the woman goes to extremes, she always finds or gets something big.
"Your Majesty—"
"I leave it to the God of War. I have other business."
Not yet had the Azure Dragon respond, Qu Xuanzi had already disappeared from sight. The thing is, the God of War is another name for the God of Laws! The Azure Dragon knew the intent of its master, but not with any other god.
The God of Laws lost their memories, those gods no longer relied on him like in the past. Even so, the Azure Dragon understood that handing over this task to the God of Laws would make the little god's memory return slowly. But the gods won't understand. They would object, unless the God of Laws resolved it themselves.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
In the tallest tower, Xie Ruo covered both ears all day long would be the reflection of the Ming State Master that made his ears buzz. The old man started to be strict with her, teaching her to be a kind and obedient child while carrying a cane in hand that was only used as a display, thinking it would scare Xie Ruo.
Xie Ruo had just recovered after Mei Liena's torturous series of treatments in which he had to take bitter medicine for a full day, suddenly the Ming State Master visited and lectured him to adopt a healthy lifestyle. The problem was, Mei Liena told the Ming State Master that she was suffering from a fever and digestive inflammation all at once!
Xie Ruo cursed Mei Liena many times who told the lie. At the very least, the woman could tell that she was just an ordinary fever. The Ming State Master blamed him for being picky about food.
Ever since learning that Zhong Guofeng was the Demon Emperor, Mei Liena was getting more protective and unwilling to leave here. He used Xie Ruo's health excuse to stay, even exaggerating his illness. Xie Ruo was sure, that woman was cursing him with all those illnesses.
"Your Majesty, do you understand?"
"Yes." Yeah." Xie Ruo lied, he did not hear or understand anything the old man said. The State Teacher sounded like he was gargling.
After that series of nonsense lectures, Xie Ruo was finally free from the stifling class. He sits relaxed and straightens his legs while stretching stiff muscles due to sitting all day.
"Your Majesty." Xu Ziyan came to his side as a personal servant.
Xie Ruo looked at it, then he remembered something. "Ziyan, isn't the palace kitchen very complete? Do you want to get me some chocolate?"
"Chocolate? What is it, Your Majesty?"
"Don't know?" Xie Ruo looked at him in confusion. Does this world not understand chocolate? Or is there another name? "Food from cocoa beans, is there nothing?"
"Looks like there's. But only in certain seasons and only certain places provide it."
"Where is that?"
"There is in the south, very far from the empire."
Xie Ruo pouted. This world was so vast, how could he search for just one item? It was only fitting that during his 18 years in this world, he had never seen chocolate again. Suddenly, he wanted it.
"Then make me something sweet." Xie Ruo put on a bent face.
Xu Ziyan was silent for a while, then went to carry out the order. He went to the kitchen, picked up a pastry that Xie Ruo used to eat with tea mixed with milk.
But when he was pouring tea into a cup, he suddenly thought of one thing. Earlier when helping the fainted Xie Ruo, he found Xie Ruo's pulse that was similar to that of a pregnant woman.
He was surprised and hid it trying to be sure. Since Xie Ruo's identity was very sensitive, it would be dangerous to be caught pregnant other than with the Emperor. He can also be affected and is considered not to take good care of Xie Ruo.
Because of this, he had to take precautions. If you want to get a high position, shouldn't there be sacrifices?
He poured the powder he had prepared into the tea. Previously he hesitated when buying the powder from the pharmacy, but now he should not hesitate. Xie Ruo had to thank him for this.
"Nuo Nuo, give it to His Majesty when it is ripe. His Majesty asked me to bring him a new robe because winter is coming." Xu Ziyan looked at the young maid who was cutting vegetables at the other table.
"I'll do it."
Xu Ziyan left the kitchen, letting the maid take her place. If it's like this, getting caught doesn't matter either. As long as it's not to blame.
Xu Ziyan returned to where Xie Ruo was with a new robe in her hand. Xie Ruo who was reading just looked at it briefly, then looked back at the writing in the book indifferently.
"I didn't ask you to bring a cape." Xie Ruo's mood was ugly for not getting any chocolate.
"Tonight the first snow will fall, the weather begins to cool. In order not to get cold, Ziyan brought a robe to His Majesty. Previously Ziyan had prepared a snack, to be brought by another servant in a moment to shorten the time."
Xie Ruo no longer responded when the robe was placed on his shoulder. He just kept reading the book in his hand. Since Zhong Guofeng or the Demon Emperor had not let him out, the man had always sent many books for him to pass the time.
Xie Ru picked it up from feeling hungry, without taking her eyes off the book. Xu Ziyan waited, but Xie Ruo not touching her tea at all made her nervous.
Until Xie Ruo finally grabbed the cup of milk tea, Xu Ziyan grew even more agitated. He has spent a lot of money on one drug, should not be wasted.
But as soon as Xie Ruo was about to drink it, the sound of shouting echoed making Xie Ruo stop.
"Ruoruo, I'm coming!" Zhong Xiaorong stepped up cheerfully pulling Mei Liena like pulling a sheep.
Xie Ruo turned the eyeball, then placed his cup onto the table. "I'm busy." He shook his hand, driving away the two waiting servants.
Xu Ziyan was a bit annoyed, but she had no other choice but to leave as ordered. If only Princess Youmei had not come, her plan had quickly succeeded.
"Why?" ask Xie Ruo.
Zhong Xiaorong who was in a hurry immediately sat down and downed the milk tea that Xie Ruo was supposed to drink. He was too tired to run and very thirsty.
"Ruoruo, I heard from Liena about the Emperor. Is that true?" Zhong Xiaorong was extremely frightened when he heard it. Compared to the Demon God, he was more afraid of the Demon Emperor. It made him think of Asura and the events of that day. He was even surprised to learn that the Demon Emperor was a part of the Celestial Emperor, like a clone.
"It's not really the first time." Xie Ruo was still annoyed.
"What to do?"
"Nothing."
"What?"
"If you want to protest, you can file a petition. Look, who's gonna support or take you down."
"It's not a matter of who supports whom. Ruoruo, if you get into a conflict and fight, what will happen next?"
Xie Ruo shook his shoulders. "Of course."
"Then what's your plan?"
Xie Ruo looked at the two of them for a moment, then his gaze fell on Mei Liena. Mei Liena instantly understood and nudged Zhong Xiaorong with an elbow.
"Didn't you know? Ruoruo had just experienced a second battle when she went to the border. Then it must experience the Demon Emperor's mental attack when it returns. Just yesterday Ruoruo collapsed after a fight with the Demon Emperor. Imagine how much pressure Ruoruo faced, that mental attack was unusual. Ruoruo is almost dead!"
Zhong Xiaorong until subconsciously retreated because Mei Liena who spoke to the point of body as if she wanted to corner it. Even Xie Ruo was speechless over Mei Liena's very fluent essay, he almost believed that it was actually happening.
Suddenly the atmosphere became silent just because of Mei Liena's series of sentences. Wakita it .. once talk makes everything quiet.
"understand?" Mei Liena reaffirmed, forcing Zhong Xiaorong to nod.
"understand."
Mei Liena sat back in her place, then devoured the cake on the table. Xie Ruo just brushed off the prank, forbidding Mei Liena from stealing her food. Mei Liena could only grumble.
Zhong Xiaorong noticed the interaction, had just wanted to talk again, but he suddenly felt something strange. He felt his intestines grind to shiver. He remembered that he only drank the original tea. Did he drink stale tea? Does anybody?
"Ruoruo, I think .. I need a restroom." Zhong Xiaorong held onto his heartburn stomach. No, he felt like he was going to let out the wind now!
"Hey, what did you eat wrong?" Mei Liena wanted to laugh seeing him.
"I ... Ruoruo tea .. hurry just tell me where!"
Mei Liena who originally wanted to laugh out loud instantly fell silent. He and Xie Ruo looked at each other, then looked at the empty cup on the table.
Quickly Mei Liena checked Zhong Xiaorong's pulse, her forehead wrinkled then looked at Xie Ruo. "Domach wash medication."
"Huh? Who wants to make me diarrhea?" Zhong Xiaorong focused on himself to the point of forgetting whose tea he was drinking.
"You should ask, who wants to make Ruoruo diarrhea!" Mei Liena snorted in annoyance.
"Here you go, I want to go to the restroom, take me quickly!" Zhong Xiaorong hysterical. He doesn't want to fart here, where his image will be!
Xie Ruo's face became extremely flat looking at Zhong Xiaorong's condition. He clearly understands what's going on. To Zhong Xiaorong, the effect was indeed only diarrhea. But for him ....
"Servant!" Xie Ruo shouted to the waiter. A servant came in to take orders. "Turn the Princess to the restroom!"
"Okay, Your Majesty."
The servant immediately escorted Zhong Xiaorong who was in a great hurry to the point of running. Zhong Xiaorong felt, he was caught in the trap of a prankster who wanted to play around with him. Just watch if you meet!
"Something seems to know." Mei Liena was straight to the point when the two people were already gone. He took a cup on the table, then sniffed it looking for a medicinal scent. "There is a concoction of concoction of the drug pemugur. For women who are not pregnant, diarrhea will only occur."
"I know," said Xie Ruo, taking the cup. "Just, he still hesitates. That's why he used two ways, making me diarrhea or ...." He squeezed the cup until it cracked and shattered into pieces of ash. "Kill out."
"You know who did it? There is no way the Demon Emperor would send someone to harm you."
"Not to harm me, but certain fools think that I should thank him for helping to kill my son who could prevent me from becoming empress. Really naive."
Mei Liena was tensed. Who would dare to do such a cruel thing? "Ruoruo, do you know who it is?"
Xie Ruo smiled. "If not, I can't guess. Just by understanding the way a person thinks, you only know what that person is going to do. Unfortunately, he didn't know me and acted as if he knew everything. Really sloppy."
Although Zhong Xiaorong did not drink the tea, he would still know through its aroma. That's why, the perpetrator behind this according to him is very unskilled and stupid. It was a pity that poor Zhong Xiaorong had to get diarrhea.
"Then, what are you going to do with him?" Mei Liena was curious. Is Xie Ruo going to kill him? Or using?
"Of course, follow the game." Killed her? Too easily. He would rather play around with an accomplished player like that.
For a long time, he hadn't played.
