Qu Xuanzi and Xie Ruo returned to the Upper World to resolve the remaining problems. It had been a few days since Xie Ruo had recovered, Qu Xuanzi was completely unwilling to leave on his own despite being within the territory of the Earth Goddess.
They arrived in the Upper World to see the aftermath of the chaos that had previously occurred. Victims everywhere, damage everywhere. They had yet to arrive at the palace, already faced with the chaos of war that was full of death aura.
In fact, this was not the first time so there was no shock in Qu Xuanzi's eyes. This mess was nothing compared to when he found the sealed Upper World.
Since a few days ago, exactly when the failure of the Demon God in bringing Xie Ruo to his clasps, those demons had already gotten a dangerous signal and went into hiding in the darkness. The gods had been searching for them for days and had managed to execute several demons, but there were also demons who managed to escape or hide without being found.
In a short time, they reached the palace. The Goddess of Life, Xiao Caihong, and Long Long had waited for a long time in confusion. Seeing the presence of Qu Xuanzi and Xie Ruo in their intact and fine state, all of them were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and vent all of the fatigue.
The Goddess of Life immediately approached, looking at Xie Ruo meticulously while putting on a pitiful face. His gaze shifted on the small figure in Xie Ruo's sling, he was startled.
As he remembered, it was not the time for Xie Ruo to give birth. He looked at Qu Xuanzi, as well as the baby in his carrier. His voice became complicated. He doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Xie Ruo, you've suffered a lot ...." The Goddess of Life chose sad emotions thinking she could not keep Xie Ruo well until something unexpected happened. If he could be stronger and accompany Xie Ruo away, Xie Ruo would not have a painful day. Thinking that Xie Ruo gave birth prematurely, it was too life-defying.
Xiao Caihong did not care how the Goddess of Life reacted. He immediately flew to Xie Ruo's shoulder and rolled his body to fall down. Looking at the pair of blue eyes belonging to the little baby in his mother's arms, he looked puzzled for a moment.
Seeing the Life Goddess who was hard to speak, Xie Ruo coughed to lighten the atmosphere. "Is everything well under control?"
"Yes ...." The Goddess of Life's gaze was directed at Qu Xuanzi. He felt like he was dreaming to see the iceberg-like cold man holding a tiny, fragile baby. It is difficult to describe with words. But now is not the time to think about anything else. "The demons left a few days ago. This goddess had also gotten a letter from the main god at the border that the natural barrier would be completed tomorrow."
"I'll go tomorrow." Qu Xuanzi was actually not thinking too much about when the nature barrier would be completed.
Since the Demon God had declared war in Middle World, he had already asked the Azure Dragon to prepare everything. The gods will be gathered at the border, whether the natural barrier is completed or not. If the nature barrier was completed, it was even better, because the demons would not recklessly infiltrate again like before.
"I'll come along." Xie Ruo glanced at Qu Xuanzi, then gave his reason for participating. "I want to see the location of the Light Goddess's death, all of you think of anything I can help you with."
"We'll go together." This time Qu Xuanzi did not forbid.
"Good."
"By the way, I wasn't introduced to our new member, I'm very sad." The Goddess of Life put on a pouting face. Why did the couple ignore him?
Xie Ruo replied calmly. "Then, I'll introduce him. His name was Qu Fengxiao, or Xiao Xiao." Then Xie Ruo pointed towards the baby Qu Xuanzi was holding. "He Qu Fengxiu."
The Goddess of Light stood in front of Qu Xuanzi to take a closer look at Qu Fengxiu. Seeing her face made her anxious, very petite and innocent. He felt like pinching it now!
"Ah, she looks a lot like you!" The Goddess of Life was overjoyed to see the delicate and sweet visual of the little creature in front of her.
"You never saw me when I was a kid." Qu Xuanzi denied.
The Goddess of Life glanced at him in annoyance. "Your mother gave me her memory, of course I know!" His irritated face turned into a wide smile as soon as he saw Qu Fengxiu who was still as cool as sleeping. He raised his hand to stop the boy. "Look well, he's so handsome and cute! L like it! In the future, I can predict that he will become more popular than his father ...."
The words of the Goddess of Life came to a halt as soon as she saw the little boy open his eyes. Her red eyes that looked like blood shocked the Goddess of Life, forcing the woman to pull back her hand with a cold feeling on her back. He just found out, a baby has such a sharp gaze.
In an instant, the Goddess of Life moved a bow towards Qu Fengxiao while praising him sky-high.
"Xiao Xiao, let's play with granny~" the Goddess of Life laughed happily like an idiot. "Fufu, I like the friendly and sweet. Not like someone who would rather invite hostility."
Qu Xuanzi was insinuated, as was his newly awakened son and had no idea what was happening. The boy was even surprised because of the creepy sound that disturbed his sleep.
"Ruoruo, it would be best if you rest now." Qu Xuanzi directly guided Xie Ruo's hand to walk away from the strange and insane goddess.
Long Long Long sighed resignedly, his shoulders falling instantly. "It's so hard ...."
༺༻
Arriving at the room, Xie Ruo put his little daughter on the bed. He asked the waiter to prepare the bed of the little one who had been prepared in advance. They were initially removed from the barn before the twins were born, but their birth was too soon so the servants had to rush to retrieve them.
Previously, Qu Xuanzi had handed her son over to the Goddess of Life to be brought along with Xie Ruo for having to go to her room first. After the Goddess of Life left to give Xie Ruo some privacy, only then could Xie Ruo calmly release all the burdens of his mind.
Long Long Long appeared while sulking and kept grumbling cursing the shameless Goddess of Life. Xie Ruo could not help, could only shake his head at Long Long Long's childish manner.
"Are you from Long Huo?" Xie Ruo asked seriously. He had sent the three dragons to go to the Lava Continent to give news of the war. Based on his count, with their speed, they should have arrived already.
"Yeah, they just told you that they just arrived in the Lava Continent and are happy to confer with the other dragons. Long Ying went to the sea to gather the sea people as war reinforcements. Most likely, they would all be up to a few more days after the negotiations were over. It's gonna take a lot of time."
Xie Ruo nodded in understanding. "During that time, the human army must be able to survive. The demon race was very numerous and powerful, even if the races in the world joined forces, it would not be able to change things too much. The god race will only come at the end of the war as a determination, as much as possible so as not to have too many casualties on our side until the time comes."
"I met that flying head yesterday, saying that Zhong Xiaorong's position in the empire was deteriorating and rumored to be disappearing. The Empire is in great chaos, the Demon God is already fully on the move and will invade Middle World as a whole."
"What about the Xie Clan?"
"Klan Xie has currently finished building a secret passage disguised by the formation as per your plan. They will come to the battlefield as planned to turn things around. With the current strength of the clan, plus the help of the Night Shadow Sect, it would not be impossible."
"Then this is good news. Tomorrow I will go to the border to see the preparations, you and Xiao Caihong are here guarding them." Xie Ruo looked at his two children who were still wrestling each with a detached bundle.
Qu Fengxiu looked extremely calm and lazy like he was lacking in energy, in contrast to Qu Fengxiao who was kicking around here and there. The children ... have shown their own character early on.
"Madamie, did the snake race not go to war?" Long Long suddenly asked.
Xie Ruo glanced at the small Xiao Caihong that was lying on his shoulder calmly. Suddenly he remembered something. "Snake coat, yes."
If the snake race also came along, wouldn't it be an additional auspicious aid? Although most snake races do not care and prefer to look for trouble everywhere, they are reliable when in battle and become the most important part in group combat.
Something flashed through Xie Ruo's mind. The corner of his lips lifted up making the nearby Long feel, that his master had come up with an unusual new plan.
"Long Long, can I ask for your help for today?" Xie Ruo looked at the tiny creature thoughtfully.
Long Long Long immediately gasped for orders
"Go to Mount Wu to meet the Green Phyton who is currently leading. For the next time, you'll know for yourself."
"Phyton Green!" Long Long Long was surprised.
Xie Ruo might not know, Long Long had a lot of conflicts with the Green Phyton type snake. Especially the leader of the Green Phyton, the snake lady who often tempted Long Long to poison him viciously.
Thinking about it, Long Long goosebumps himself.
"Why? Don't wanna?" Xie Ruo looked at him with an if-disputing-then-will-punished look!
Long Long inevitably had to agree, albeit half-heartedly. It's okay, he just has to come, throw a letter, then leave while sticking out his tongue.
Unfortunately, when Long Long thought his plan was the best and would not fail, he did not know that the other party would not be that easy to let go.
