The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
242. The Light That Shines

The despair did not go away for some time. Xie Ruo was still in his position for quite a while, yet this time he no longer cried. As if his tears had dried up, he just remained motionless.

The wind blew against her beautiful face. His unraveling silver hair flew along with a gust of earth sand. The woman was still silent like a statue without being affected by the wind.

I don't know how much time has passed in this quiet night. Unbeknownst to him, the black fog that was the remains of the Demon God was now rolling like it was attracted by something. The fog moved on the ground, spreading out in every direction before the black fog finally began to show the true form of the altar.

This whole thing is not over yet.

Xie Ruo. He circulated his gaze, realizing that the sacrificial altar was active again and was now absorbing the power of the Demon God. One thing that came to his mind, Shu Xin had moved blatantly to restore the lost power. The woman made use of the death of the Demon God for herself.

"Xie Ruo, I'm waiting for you in the Imperial Tower."

The sound echoed in every moving cloud of fog. Until finally the fog was fully absorbed, a faint golden light crept through each altar and drew Xie Ruo as if he was absorbing his soul.

Xie Ruo flinched, not having a chance to react any faster. The golden light that had darkened encompassed his entire body and pulled his soul out. It feels like being ripped apart!

Other than the Demon God, Shu Xin intended to swallow Xie Ruo as well for the perfection of his strength. Xie Ruo could not move as long as the altar was alive. His body curled up on the ground, feeling an excruciating pain in silence. He gritted his teeth holding back his eroding soul force.

Xie Ruo's strength was too much wasted from fighting the Demon God. He could only slightly move his finger, but could not make a large movement. He felt his gaze was extremely dark, as if the moon in the sky was no longer emitting its rays.

Am I going to die here?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The dim golden light absorbed the darkness within the center of the altar into the body of the figure of the beautiful woman standing, enjoying the feeling as all the energy filled her body and filled the void.

He did not care whether the Demon God died or not, because those two choices did not harm him at all. She was the Goddess of Nature, would not submit or obey anyone and would always be the strongest Goddess in the Upper World!

Shu Xin laughed happily. In the end, he was able to get what he should have. The pure energy became his so that the absorbed power would not affect his body's condition to negative effects due to his body's light constitution. Moreover, his current strength was stronger than he used to be thanks to the darkness.

The figure that was previously filled with light and glorified, was now turned into a dense darkness. Shu Xin laughed like she had been mentally ill. He was too happy to think that he would return to the World of Gods and get what he should have gotten a long time ago.

"You guys see? I'm the winner. All of you who belittle me and demean me, take a good look. Look, how I'm gonna destroy you!" shu Xin exclaimed.

The tower is full of darkness. That power continued to be absorbed, until finally the darkness managed to fuse perfectly in Shu Xin's body. The woman who was once bright, is now full of darkness.

Another golden light emerged from the sky like a shooting star, carrying a huge force that shook the tower right then and there. As soon as the golden light landed right at the top of the tower where the sacrificial altar was located, such a huge golden light spread out and destroyed the entire sacrificial altar within seconds.

Shu Xin ducked down, covering her body from the explosion. The explosion did not only occur at the center of the altar, but the other altar branches on the pedan were merang. Xie Ruo who was lying weakly among the explosions could only silently look on. Unknowingly, the thin golden light protected him from all explosions.

The destruction of the sacrificial altar caused the breaking of an endless stream of power. The darkness no longer flowed into Shu Xin's body, making the woman extremely shocked.

"Who .. who messed it up!" Shu Xin stomped her hand furiously. His gaze was directed at the golden light that came disturbing, his face turned tense instantly.

The figure of a man with a sharp and cold golden iris. His silver hair was carried away by the blowing wind, along with the golden magic that roamed around him then shrank into his body. It looks different than it did a while ago.

Shu Xin looked at him with shock. It must be all just an illusion. It seemed like Xie Ruo was doing something to him so he went crazy!

"No way .. You're dead ...." Shu Xin retreated in a state of alert. He doesn't believe this is all real. He witnessed the man's own death through the pool of light!

"I am dead." The man said calmly. The golden light in his hand was created, released towards Shu Xin to the point of making the woman extremely frightened.

Shu Xin quickly dodged. The darkness of his body protected him from the attack. He tried his best to avoid a single attack that kept locked onto him while the man watched in silence. Really, it's not something to show!

Shu Xin's steps were very fast, but the light was getting closer and closer to her until she had to change direction. Just as he was about to direct the locked attack towards the owner, the golden light in the man's hand reappeared and attacked him up close.

This time it feels worse than the other day. He felt his entire bones shatter into pieces just because of a single strike that landed on his shoulder. The locked magic had stopped, but Shu Xin's condition was not good.

"Asura, you're dead! Do you still have to terrorize like this! You can't kill me!" Shu Xin roared like a madman.

Can't, he has to get out of here before he gets caught. He felt that, Qu Xuanzi's strength was now much stronger than before. It is impossible for the dead to have this kind of power!

"Why don't you meet Xie Ruo? Are you scared?" Shu Xin chuckled as she rewinded her steps. "Asura, I am the Goddess of Nature, you must not kill me, or the God Emperor in the God World will not forgive you. Even if you're dead, he can still kill you once more!"

"Just destroy yourself." Qu Xuanzi raised his hand that was fed by a golden light. A glare of light shot out from his hand, piercing through Shu Xin's body just like that.

Shu Xin did not have time to dodge as her entire body suddenly became stiff. He felt his breath sting and lack of air. The golden light eroded it slowly, pulling something from within his body until the pain like a crushed soul whack full of agony.

Shu Xin did not want to believe all this. He was surprised to learn that the man was pulling all the light in his soul. If that happened, he would lose his goddess status and shatter into pieces or return to be a flake of light.

No one could do that in this world, let alone the Three Worlds. Even in the God World, only a few could do so on the condition of overreaching power, among them only the God Emperor and the God Elders who were secluded themselves.

Qu Xuanzi was definitely not a God Elder due to his relatively young age. Then isn't there only one left?

No way!

That golden light completely uprooted the power of light within Shu Xin's soul. The woman relaxed her legs, feeling that she had made a big mistake and was too shocked. There was no way. There was no way Asura who had died suddenly became the God Emperor. Although he was a Celestial Emperor in the Upper World, he was not necessarily the ruler of the God World!

"It can't be ...." Shu Xin looked at both of his hands. The light in his soul dissipated until he felt the void. Very empty, and painful.

The ball of light that was Shu Xin's power core was in Qu Xuanzi's hands. The man looked at Shu Xin coldly. The woman had almost killed her Ruoruo.

"From now on, you are no longer the Goddess of Light. In a few moments, you will be in the dark. You won't be that lucky despite having pure energy."

"Your Majesty ...." Shu Xin felt very sorry. If he knew that it was not the Asura, he would not be!

Shu Xin was surprised. "You want to give light to humans? How much damage and blood do humans shed? Didn't you think about it!"

"That's why I'll choose him myself." Qu Xuanzi stored the divinity of light. The divinity of light is too important for the survival of all beings, it cannot be handed over easily.

Shu Xin was an example of the Goddess of Nature possessing the failed divinity of light. It should be that a Goddess of Nature was as uncharacteristic and ambitious as this. If a blank piece of paper is inked, its shape will follow where the ink goes that forms the character of a person.

Shu Xin lost hope as the light disappeared from her sight. He looked at Qu Xuanzi with hatred. No matter who the man was, he would not forgive him.

A thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly smiled obliquely while looking at Qu Xuanzi. "You're not gonna kill me?"

Qu Xuanzi did not reply. It made Shu Xin widen her smile, then force herself to stand up. He will not miss this opportunity.

"You know I'm tied to Xie Ruo, just didn't kill me." Shu Xin approached the man with a wide smile that did not look happy at all. "When the altar connected me with Xie Ruo, you knew that we were already tied, right? So you just took my powers. But just so you know, light is my power, but that light has turned into darkness. You can't kill me because Xie Ruo will also die. My efforts are not in vain." He laughed after saying it.

I don't know what that guy was thinking. Qu Xuanzi only looked at it coldly without showing any emotion. Actually he was depressed, it could have been Shu Xin doing crazy things to kill Xie Ruo.

"Asura, whatever your plan is, you can't kill me. Everyone can't. Or Xie Ruo will die." Shu Xin laughed amusedly as if talking about a joke. He's really gone crazy. He continued, "Only Xie Ruo can kill me, you can't help. I guess, he's coming to kill. When he attacks, the darkness will devour him. I'm gonna kill him, and he's gonna die. You'll be sorry. I wonder what you'll do after his death. Are you going to choose to die?"

Qu Xuanzi did not say anything, seemingly immersed in his own thoughts. Shu Xin who saw that felt very satisfied.

"It's a pity, it looks like my sweet brother is also short-lived. After learning of your death, he will also not live long, like himself in another world. I know him well and I'm so sorry for you." Shu Xin put on a sad look, then laughed back.

How funny to see someone who wanted to kill him so badly but couldn't do it. What is Xie Ruo? Shu Xin wondered why that human was so concerned about an Asura. Just piss him off.

"Xie Ruo oh Xie Ruo, it's really sad. I can't wait to see how your death goes. Come quickly, I'll welcome you with—"

Jlepp

Shu Xin was silent for a while, no longer continuing her fifth. He lowered his head, a slender sword pierced his back into his stomach until blood flowed down his clothes like a fountain. Face paled. He looked up at Qu Xuanzi who was also silent in his place, the man had done nothing since.

The sword was pulled back and disengaged from Shu Xin's body until the woman spewed blood from her mouth. Shu Xin was still trying to keep her balance, then turned to look at the person.

Shu Xin's gaze became full of shock and deep hatred. He gripped his fist tightly while enduring all the pain.

"Xie Ruo ..." he growled. Right in front of her, the woman stared with a blue iris filled with emptiness.

Xie Ruo did not say anything more. All he wanted was the death of someone. He raised his sword again, then slashed it to give a deep incision to Shu Xin's neck.

The incision was created accompanied by splashed red stains. In the end, it was in vain that the darkness was absorbed. Shu Xin could not heal herself and collapsed with a hateful look. He looked at Xie Ruo with great anger. He swore, it would not make Xie Ruo's life calm forever!

Xie Ruo took off the sword just like that until the clink of the sword fell echoing. He felt his head hurt so much that his vision became blurry. He looked at Shu Xin who had been lifeless, then bit his lips to behave normally.

"It's all over .. I'm fine .. I'm fine ...." Xie Ruo muttered to calm himself down. He pressed against the wall to hold his weak body. He's too tired.

His blurry gaze found a familiar figure at a glance. But he almost ignored it when he did not feel familiarity. He scrunched his head and rubbed his eyes to clarify his vision, until finally his vision slightly recovered.

Xie Ruo was stunned for a moment. Is he hallucinating? Was he too sad to keep hallucinating? Looks like the memory world is back on its feet and messing with it.

Xie Ruo averted his gaze, wanting to ignore him and suppress the pain in his heart. He hit his own head in frustration, while the figure walking up to him made Xie Ruo even more insane.

"Trialoget ...." Xie Ruo did not want to cry anymore. He kept hitting his head to normal while looking down. He should not be too sad for now. There could be another unknown attack.

Qu Xuanzi arrived before Xie Ruo, then restrained Xie Ruo's arm which continued to hit his own head. "Ruoruo."

Xie Ruo wanted to escape Qu Xuanzi's grasp. He thought he had gone too crazy with such absurd hallucinations. It cannot sink too far.

But unfortunately, it is too real to be called a hallucination. The grasp forbade Xie Ruo from hurting himself until Xie Ruo fell into his embrace. When that happened, Xie Ruo could not help but cry.

"Say I'm just a dream." Xie Ruo did not dare to make everything come true. He is not ready to lose too much. He continued with a wistful, "Everything's fine, right? You're still alive. My grandfather is alive. Everything is still alive ...."

"Everything's fine. It's over." Qu Xuanzi tightened her embrace and buried her face on Xie Ruo's shoulder. He was still very afraid of losing Xie Ruo.

"Yes, it's over ..." said Xie Ruo. "Don't leave me."

"Not going to."

Xie Ruo hugged her tightly, forgetting everything she experienced. He hopes to wake up soon from the nightmare and reunite with everyone he loves. He does not want to lose. He's too scared.

At the top of the Imperial Tower filled with ruins, two separate couples of fate are now reunited. The storm has ended. The light shines back where it is.

...----------------...

Finally finished again. I wanted to write it out now, but I think it's too awkward, so I kept it up a little bit.

Must be wondering, right why is Qu Xuanzi alive? Or is it just a ghost?

The answer is in the next chapter which will be uploaded tomorrow. About tomorrow or the day after. There will also be an extra chapter until the end of the month.

Fyi, actually sad end or happy end depending on your view. If I think I'm happy, but don't know what your views will be like. For more details, it will be in the final section.

See you next time~
