The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
206. Calm Before the Storm

The winter longer than before was over. The pink flowers began to bloom, giving joy and warmth to the desolate nature.

Under the moon, Xie Ruo sat on the edge of the window facing outside. His feet hung barefoot, facing the height of the palace where below him was made up of a collection of white clouds.

His mood is bad. The blue iris looked at the dark sky filled with stars as well as the auroras moving in the sky with a blank look.

His mind branched out, filled with endless problems that continued to terrorize him. Previously he was restless since knowing what would happen in the future, then just now he knew the plans of the Demon God again and again made him have to think fast until a headache.

Can't his life be quiet at least once?

Besides those two things, now, he was faced with the shadow of death he had encountered in his first life. He was 29 years old, the year he died in his first life. Although he did not care much, but he thought about the rest of his own life that was starting to thin out.

One year left, is that enough? The time chasing him, the problem continued to arrive without a short solution. If only he was strong enough to end everything, he would not have to be in a dangerous position at all times. This war of life, no better than the first life.

Xie Ruo let out a long sigh. He was very mentally tired.

While daydreaming alone while looking at the stars and the sight of flowers blooming, Qu Xuanzi came to hug her from behind. He did not know what Xie Ruo just knew, but he knew that his wife's mood was not good. If possible, Xie Ruo would have already drunk wine by now.

"It's too late, can't you sleep?" Qu Xuanzi tried to lighten Xie Ruo's mind load with a bit of pleasantries. Even if he is not good, he can try.

Xie Ruo changed his countenance as normal as possible, then smiled as he grasped Qu Xuanzi's arm that was hugging him. "How did you come all of a sudden? I don't feel it."

"If you've known I'm coming, I can't give you a surprise" Qu Xuanzi replied. "Am I back too long?"

Xie Ruo shook his head. Qu Xuanzi would disappear for months. It's only a few days, certainly not long. "I'm surprised you came back so soon."

"I can't go too long." After all, the Upper World was not entirely safe either. The Middle World is even worse. He could not let Xie Ruo alone for too long.

Xie Ruo understood, but it just made him feel a burden. He remembered his problem and became depressed. Feeling sad, he slightly turned around and hugged Qu Xuanzi.

"Times have changed, today is my birthday, but I hate this year" muttered Xie Ruo.

Qu Xuanzi knew his point. What Xie Ruo experienced in two lives was too imprecise. Especially for the day of his own death in the first life, it was the worst day on which he had to accept all who would later be forced to witness the worst thing in his life.

"It won't happen again." Qu Xuanzi rubbed Xie Ruo's hair gently. If there was that day, he would have prevented it from making it a reality.

"I hope so," replied Xie Ruo. "So I got a 'guest'. I already know the plans of the Demon God almost as a whole."

"I heard you met a Demon God spy." Qu Xuanzi had recently heard it from the saint beast when he saw Xie Ruo return to the palace with a thick scent of blood. That was why he hurriedly encountered Xie Ruo.

"Actually, the Demon God will start activating the sacrificial altar and scouting me after giving birth," Xie Ruo said. He was silent for a while, then said, "He wants another mix of blood, other than you and me."

Qu Xuanzi in an instant understood. Actually, he had guessed, that was the reason he insisted on bringing Xie Ruo to the Upper World, in order to temporarily stay away from the Demon God. But he knew it wouldn't last long. Demon Gods could still head to the Upper World directly.

But even though he had expected it, he remained somewhat surprised. In the past, the Demon God had targeted him as mixed blood. He knew exactly the purpose of the Demon God. Now, the Demon God is after his son.

"Xuanzi ... What if I fail?" Xie Ruo felt afraid, but could not say it.

"The Demon God will not be aiming directly. That long, I'll protect you, and our son." Qu Xuanzi said it meaningfully. He would not allow Xie Ruo to be in danger once again, even though the pay would be expensive.

"I don't want our children to experience the same thing, the same disaster. I want to finish it." Qu Xuanzi did not want to just stand behind, nor did he refuse Qu Xuanzi's protection. He will justify all means, even if he has to sacrifice thousands of blood.

"Good."

"When I was a child, I lost my family, had no affection, and was filled with falsehoods. Too much loss is painful. I don't want to .. they're going through the same thing."

"All this will be done. As long as they are you, they are fine. I won't let anything bad happen either."

Qu Xuanzi was silent for a while, capturing the intent of Xie Ruo's words. He clenched his hands, then said, "There's no 'if', you'll be fine."

"It's just a parable." Xie Ruo clucked, as if what he said was just playfulness.

"For me, there's no parable or anything." Qu Xuanzi put on a pouting face.

Xie Ruo nodded in agreement, then smiled. "Don't pout like that, look ugly." Xie Ruo sneered as he tugged at Qu Xuanzi's cheeks. "You'll be a father, but your attitude is still childish. Hey, remember your age!"

"I'm just childish in front of you, it's not a problem." It still looks flat even though it looks softer. Xie Ruo so felt, in front of him was not Qu Xuanzi but rather an expressionless rabbit.

Qu Xuanzi let Xie Ruo pinch both of his cheeks in a daze. Actually, he was acting so annoying that Xie Ruo forgot what he had just said. Since Xie Ruo's emotions were volatile, switching them off was not difficult.

Despite already answering Xie Ruo's words inwardly, he still did not want that to happen. If anything happened to Xie Ruo, he would not forgive himself. To him, Xie Ruo was the only reason he stood in this world.

"Here you go, it looks like my pinch just feels like a swipe." Xie Ruo leaned against the window.

Qu Xuanzi smiled. "If it's harder, it'll probably be red."

"Don't make fun of me ...." Xie Ruo rolled his eyeballs. He knew, he was not as strong as Qu Xuanzi, he was just a grain of dust.

Right at that moment, Xie Ruo felt quite a violent movement from within his stomach. He got surprised. Quickly he grabbed Qu Xuanzi's hand and placed it on his distended stomach.

"She's scolding you" exclaimed Xie Ruo.

"Why?"

"You're mocking me."

Qu Xuanzi chuckled, then crouched down in front of Xie Ruo. He rubbed Xie Ruo's stomach gently, until he finally felt a protruding movement in his palm.

Somehow, there was a sense of happiness in his heart even though it could not be expressed. He said, "It turns out I'm being scolded."

"Really, right? Therefore, don't be arrogant."

"I'm not arrogant."

"You just said my pinch was too weak." Xie Ruo pouted until his forehead wrinkled.

"No, I feel sick. It's just, if it's a little harder, the pain will make my skin red."

"Just the same."

Qu Xuanzi smiled wryly. "Okay, same thing." He surrendered. Rather than making Xie Ruo emotional and increasingly go awry, he no longer extended the debate just because of the problem of pinching pain or not.

It's been a while for this chapter, my job is stacking up and now I'm sleepy. Just finished the night at 9 o'clock less, you know. Because this morning ngampus, continue to work the task of all the same matkul. BTW, I enrolled in two campuses at once with the department-count, so the brain should relax a lot so as not to kayak in the recent article—about U*M roundabout students.

So sorry if the longer the chapter is getting shorter. But if the number gets shorter, the number of chapters becomes larger, so it really makes no difference. If there are many chapters, a few chapters. More to sorry if late update or there is a round of updates anyway, because my work is not just nulis. (especially if suddenly invited mabar same temen, nob gamer disease relapse :v)

A note from me, though,

Receive salary uh thank you..
