The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
21. The kid?

"Better save it to bring later. I felt a higher fluctuation of energy inside there."

Qu Xuanzi did not want Xie Ran to be glued to one place and take off his other clothes for the sake of being made into a low spiritual stone sack. Therefore, he shifted it to another place that had a stronger energy.

Xie Ran grew more and more enthusiastic following Qu Xuanzi's direction, leaving the rocks on the ground as if they would never disappear. Xie Ran had already made this place his treasure warehouse.

Entering the deepest depths of the cave, a red light came from the end making Xie Ran even more excited. When it was about to run to that place, Qu Xuanzi immediately restrained his shoulders and hooked his palm with Xie Ran's palm. Xie Ran looked at her wondering.

"Don't let go of your hand." Qu Xuanzi's shady voice hypnotized Xie Ran to retreat and look at him.

He grew even more wondering when he felt Qu Xuanzi's warm grasp have a circular energy blade that gave him a comfortable feeling throughout his body.

Seeing Xie Ran full of questions, Qu Xuanzi immediately replied, "The light came from the valley, there are many monsters. Your aura will be disguised as long as you don't take your hand off."

"Good." Xie Ran nodded obediently. If it had been like this, he could only have complied without much comment. If Qu Xuanzi said up ahead there were monsters, then that was the truth.

They continued their journey hand-to-hand. Initially Xie Ran had objected, but he did not think about it any further and focused on hunting treasures.

When he reached the edge of the lava valley that exploded, There were many bats whose size was quite large passed and perched on the ceiling was sleeping in groups. Xie Ran enlightened the reason why Xie Yun said this place was dangerous.

"Bat of blood, middle-tier demon beast. You can't fight it. Therefore, it should not bother him." Qu Xuanzi explained briefly.

"Devil animal? How's that even here?"

"Of course."

In this world, other than ferocious beasts and saint beasts, there were also demon beasts from the underworld. If it was a savage beast from the middle world, then it was a saint beast from the sky world. The three animals have a huge difference.

As is known, the two Dragons who sometimes act funny is a sacred animal of the Dragon Race that has its own collection and becomes the protector of an area.

Ordinary beasts were tamed by humans and made pets as well as mounts or even fighting companions.

Whereas demonic animals, as the name suggests, are always destructive and cannot be tamed. The existence of demonic beasts was a threat to various races including the dragon race especially if it had already met a high-level demonic beast like the one that had inhabited the ocean.

Xie Ran knew about the three types of animals in this world, but did not know about the Blood Bats so had to be vigilant. Although he believed Qu Xuanzi would protect him, he had to be ready in case the demonic beasts attacked at any time.

They passed through the valley while the protector that Qu Xuanzi made was active. Qu Xuanzi did not consider the demonic beast to be dangerous, different from Xie Ran who felt threatened when he saw the bat collection passing in front of him crashing in the wind.

Unknowingly, Xie Ran tightened his grip against the tension. Although he wasn't too afraid of bats, he couldn't imagine what it would be like if all those bats attacked him together. He would become a bone in seconds without being able to fight back.

The worry was too visible to Qu Xuanzi that he said something. "You want me to kill them all?"

Xie Ran goosebumps hearing it and immediately shook his head. "No need."

Although he wanted all the bats to die, he still did not want to waste energy and focused on searching for treasures. Moreover, his current strength was still very low as well as his magic could not be used. He'll just end up depressed!

They continue their journey. Passing over the bridge below is lava that explodes. This bridge is not a bridge. There was no barrier and it was so slender that Xie Ran had to walk behind Qu Xuanzi without taking off the hand link.

Xie Ran felt like he had been grilled by now.

When the tip had been seen where the glittering earth and rocks were located, Xie Ran grew increasingly impatient to jump there leaving the roasting lava that made his flesh ripen.

Ten more meters, and they'll be free. But something unexpected happened. The cave shook suddenly, the lava was getting boiling and exploding under Xie Ran's feet making them have to stop the steps of— in order not to fall due to the vibration.

"What's wrong?" Xie Ran was confused and convinced that he would become a roasted man.

"Don't panic." This vibration is not a good thing, but it doesn't matter to him.

The blood bats woke up and flew on the ceiling of the cave. The sound of bats filled the ears as if welcoming something. The sound is getting louder along with the hot temperature and the vibrations are getting stronger.

The lava under Xie Ran's feet was increasingly exploding. It increased drastically and rose upwards as if it had experienced a rising tide like sea water.

Xie Ran's eyes sharpened, his gaze looking at the end of the death bridge where the passageway was. He thought he would jump there. He was about to do so but it came to a halt when Qu Xuanzi suddenly pulled into his arms and floated in the air just as the death bridge was engulfed in lava.

Xie Ran flinched, but did not have much of a reaction other than looking at Qu Xuanzi who was closer. For a moment Xie Ran's focus was shifted on that handsome face, then his gaze was shifted to the lava below that was expanding even more. The figure of a blood bat was greater than the Bats he had met just now.

When the huge bat let out a loud scream sound over the lava, Xie Ran's scabbard feather brushed. Although Xie Ran felt safe in Qu Xuanzi's embrace, he still felt anxious about having to fight the Bats now. The problem was, he could not use his magic and would die melting right then and there. Unknowingly, Xie Ran squeezed Qu Xuanzi's clothes restlessly.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Qu Xuanzi knew Xie Ran's current chaotic feelings. This girl has never been this hot before.

"I'm not afraid, aren't there you?" Xie Ran forced a smile. He believed Qu Xuanzi, but he felt uneasy being a burden. He was not strong enough for now and should immediately become stronger.

While Qu Xuanzi was pleased to realize Xie Ran trusted him. His lips drew a faint smile that was barely visible.

At first Xie Ran was a little conscious, but instantly denied that this cold man was smiling at her. That's not possible!

The sound of bats came back. His subordinate bats immediately flew with the sound of a typical bat on the ceiling and flew in the air.

The larger bat realized the threat from its territory, immediately flying into the sky making the lava on its body flow profusely like falling water. It let out a tremendous hot smoke making anyone shudder at it.

The bat with the rest of the lava on its body flapped its black wings rapidly. The large teeth looked long and pointed as well as sharp eyes full of killing intent. He had sensed a threatening powerful aura, he could not let anyone disturb his territory.

His sharp eyes looked at the two figures in the air with killing intent. He flapped his wings towards the place where the humans were preparing to eat them whole. If he could eat both, his training would increase drastically thanks to the strength of those two people. He was going to break through to a high-level demonic beast!

Seeing the blood bat go towards them, Xie Ran immediately prepared. He had already thought of some way to dodge the demonic beast and let Qu Xuanzi fight it. With Qu Xuanzi's strength, he believed this man could kill bats.

However, the thought of escape was soon over when he saw the bat becoming closer to 5 meters in front of him. That was faster than he expected!

Just when the power of the bat was about to grab the two of them, Qu Xuanzi did not dodge, he pitted the bat attack with his magic.

Silver and purple smashed into each other before finally the higher Qu Xuanzi energy fluctuations suppressed the power of the Bats which made the purple rays disappear replaced by silver rays that continued to shoot towards the bats.

The blood bat did not escape. The animal was immediately exposed to silver rays making its body oscillate downwards.

It wasn't over until there, when the bat would maintain its foundation and intend to escape, he received the same pressure again before finally becoming uncontrollably stiff. He felt his body crumble due to the silver rays surrounding him. His body continues to struggle. Its wings were flapped so violently that it flew uncontrollably and smashed into the rocks until it became a ruin.

His subordinate bats thrashed in panic and flew. They discovered the whereabouts of Qu Xuanzi and Xie Ran, directly attacking him. However their bodies stopped in midair and shattered in an instant into flesh fragments then fell into the lava.

Xie Ran who saw him gulped down the saliva. In the end, how powerful was Qu Xuanzi? In his eyes, that mid-level demonic beast was nothing! Ordinary humans could not possibly handle it that easily.

The remaining Bats were scared to death until they dared not advance. They helplessly saw their king wriggle in pain crashing against the cave wall so violently that the rocks became collapsed onto the lava.

Qu Xuanzi raised his hand gently before finally the sound of broken bones rang out and blood splattered over the lava. The blood bat had lost all of its bones until the bones in its body pierced through the skin and bled. The demonic beast immediately fell like a meteor over the lava causing lava splashes and explosions from within. The lava spread throughout the cave clearing the remaining blood bats in a single sweep.

During the explosion, Qu Xuanzi brought Xie Ran to safety and saw the destruction of the blood bats before their eyes. There were no more blood bats, there was only lava that exploded and flooded like a river.

In such a short time ... The blood bats inside the cave died without a remnant.

How terrifying is this power!

Xie Ran looked at Qu Xuanzi in horror before finally turning into admiration. The power of a master teacher is incredible, he must admit it!

"Great teacher, how did you do it?" Xie Ran was still stunned. According to him, the way to kill was very cruel and painful. It was practical for him to take revenge especially on Tang Zhi.

"You want me to teach you?"

"But in my opinion, such a way only applies to opponents who are much weaker and easy to control. Cannot be done at random. You can't use it for Tang Zhi."

Qu Xuanzi knew exactly what Xie Ran was thinking. But his words made Xie Ran's shoulders fall completely. Just now Xie Ran was thinking of torturing Tang Zhi that way, his hope was dashed already.

"But I can give you another suggestion. To kill Tang Zhi, you should at least reach the advanced professional stage. You have just entered the advanced stage and have not perfected the enchantment magic. Once the enchantment magic is complete, you can practice other magic so as to achieve advanced professional according to the level of magic you learn. After that, I'll tell you another way to kill Tang Zhi."

"really?" Xie Ran became excited again. It is not a problem to reach advanced professionals. He'll reach it in less than a year! He had been on advanced magic within a year, he had experienced a bottleneck and it was time to train his magic to the fullest.

"Let's see your luck now." Qu Xuanzi continued on the path calmly while Xie Ran followed him excitedly. He could not wait to get another treasure other than spiritual stones.

Along the way, there was only silence. I don't know how many hours or days it's been. Xie Ran was also in no hurry because after getting out of here, he had no intention of returning to the Xie Clan first, as there his training resources were limited.

After a few breaks, they reached their destination. This cave was still the same, dark as before and filled with low-tier spiritual stones. But not with the rays that appear at the end of the cave that makes Xie Ran's eyes fresh again.

The light gives a warm and comfortable feeling. He immediately dashed towards it while Qu Xuanzi did not hold it back as there was no danger.

Saw a crystal stone hovering in the air where the center of the light was. That energy had a familiar feeling, yet Xie Ran was unable to think about it anymore. The crystal is triangular like diamond and white. His light illuminated the place where the end of the cave was located.

Out of nowhere, Xie Ran was curious about the crystal and would touch it. When his skin came into contact with the crystal, a light appeared from the other side of the crystal towards the black wall of the cave giving rise to an image.

No, it's not a picture. It is too realistic to be called a picture. Instead, it felt like looking out the window where there was a familiar city. It is Hangzhou, China. The town where he lived as a child before being sent to the Red Room was headquartered in Tysons, Virginia.

How's that here?

Xie Ran touched the wall and felt very soft. His hand pierced into the wall like it had pierced through a waterfall.

"Is this a portal?" Xie Ran frowned not knowing what to express at the moment.

"Inter-dimensional mortal, I've heard of it from my teacher but never seen it."

"What did your teacher do?" Xie Ran asked without looking. His gaze was fixed on the city in front of him.

Qu Xuanzi was silent for a moment before finally replying, "Yes. But this one's supposed to be a replica."

"Does this work?" Xie Ran asked again. His heart felt uncomfortable.

"You want to go back?" Qu Xuanzi knew what Xie Ran was feeling right now. The world of his birth was in plain sight after a long stay in a foreign world, who would not be moved?

Xie Ran smiled wryly. "That's if I want to. I killed myself in the past and changed the world. That means I don't like that world. You know why."

Qu Xuanzi did not reply but rather just looked at Xie Ran who was still looking at the portal. He completely did not bind Xie Ran to remain here. If Xie Ran wanted to leave, he couldn't hold back his freedom. Only, if Xie Ran chose to leave, he would be unhappy.

But upon hearing Xie Ran refuse to return to his home world, Qu Xuanzi regained his composure. He didn't want the girl who made him so open to leaving just like that.

Xie Ran retracted his hand that had originally pierced through the portal, sighed and turned to face Qu Xuanzi. At the same time, he heard a fairly loud cracking sound.

Xie Ran wanted to turn his head when Qu Xuanzi suddenly pulled him over as the sturdy wall became collapsed destroying the portal he had just seen. The portal light disappeared while the crystal that remained emitting the light became dim.

"How can you?" Xie Ran felt like he had done nothing. How can it be broken?

"The crystal will evolve." Qu Xuanzi answered Xie Ran's question. Xie Ran was astonished, just what was it that this master teacher did not know?

The radiance of the flashing crystal beam gave seven different colors like a faint rainbow. It spun before finally the rays became brighter making Xie Ran have to close the view with his hands.

The energy in the cave weakened in a matter of seconds. Xie Ran also felt his magic back at its peak, unlike before but the pendant still did not open.

The crystal continued to spin along with a bright light covering its form. The warm energy that radiates away is immediately replaced by emptiness and light that slowly dims.

As the rays dimmed, a figure of a cute snake child floated in the air with a plain gaze writhing in the air as if it had wings. His scales were as white as jade and had seven distinct colors that were faintly barely visible around his body. It is only about a few centi long and has round, clear black eyes.

"Phyton of seven colors, one of the saint beasts and ruler of the entire Snake race." Qu Xuanzi.

"Snake Ruler ...." Xie Ran. Previously he had met two cute Dragons now he found a small Snake lord. What's he supposed to do?

When Xie Ran was thinking about what he should do, the cute Snake flew towards him and coiled around Xie Ran's arm while rubbing his head comfortably. He even snored when in Xie Ran's hands made his owner even more surprised to not believe what he saw.

"He thinks you're his family. It was common for animals to assume that the person he first met was family." Qu Xuanzi explained calmly. He had no problem with that cute Snake as it never harmed Xie Ran, in contrast to the two Dragons.

"This ... What should I do?" Xie Ran really did not know.

Even though he had two pets, the two Dragons were already adults. How can he take care of a snake child? She is not a baby sister and has no experience. Even carrying a child is never. Now she has to take care of the baby snake? Isn't that a joke!

"The seven-color pyton consumes pure energy as a life support as well as its cultivation. Your body has magic with pure mental strength innate so it instantly captivates it."

"So ... will I be able to speak snake language after this?"

"Maybe."

Xie Ran swallowed the saliva. Is he going to be the Harry Potter talking to the Snake? That's not funny! Although cool, he did not want such a complicated thing. It was enough that he understood the dragon language, he did not want to add any skills and become a lazy Xie Ran. He just wants to live a relaxed life!

"I really became Harry Potter," muttered Xie Ran imagining how he hissed while talking to Snake.

"If you don't like it, I'll throw it away." Qu Xuanzi was being serious. He would throw away anything that Xie Ran disliked and just give her what she liked.

"no need. I'm mentally strong." Xie Ran gave up. Pity this little snake if banished by the heartless cold man.

When Xie Ran was under stress thinking about how his future fate had never calmed down as expected, the sound of hissing heard in his ears self-taught instantly translated into his ears.

"Crsss .... (Mother!)"

"...."

Xie Ran was speechless. She could be this snake baby family, but did not expect this snake to call her 'mother'!

Suddenly the baby snake crept towards Qu Xuanzi and rubbed its head against the man's shoulder with great comfort.

"Crssss .... (Dad!)"

"...."

Qu Xuanzi was speechless as well ....

How suddenly they became the parents of the snake ruler baby!

The thing that made Xie Ran want to vomit blood was when the snake baby called a certain master teacher 'father'. It was very ... It's unexpected! Xie Ran never imagined this would happen to him.

"I think I really want to throw it away." Xie Ran had been dark from the start.

"No need." Qu Xuanzi denied as he rubbed the tip of the head of the small snake on the shoulder with his index finger. It seemed that only he was happy about the call. But if Xie Ran was unhappy and wanted to throw it away, he would completely throw it away.

Xie Ran wanted to cry now. Although he wanted to throw away the snake child, he actually did not have the heart either. But that call made him very awkward.

Either this is a blessing or a punishment. Xie Ran really wanted to curse!
