The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
37. Qu Xuanzi's Past

In the world of pendants, Xie Ran pondered on the riverbank listening to the waterfall. There was no expression on his face that saw the mirroring in the water, there was only emptiness.

His heart was full of excitement and anxiety. She bit down her lips and closed her eyes while recalling some memories she desperately wanted to forget.

"You've won the game, why be moody?"

The tall male figure appeared in the water mirroring standing behind him. Xie Ran turned his head briefly and shook his head while looking back towards the water. "Just remember one thing" he said.

Qu Xuanzi sat down next to him, looking at the moody Xie Ran. "Say if it makes you better."

Xie Ran turned his head towards Qu Xuanzi. "Can I?"

Qu Xuanzi nodded slowly. She felt Xie Ran was always lonely and needed someone to lean on when slumped. Yet Xie Ran had never trusted anyone in this world because of his past. He understands that feeling.

Xie Ran sighed to calm his heart and lowered his head back. "On the death of Brother Yao and Liu Ya, they were with other servants burned in a pile of corpses and forced me to look at them. I just kept quiet, couldn't even cry .. I've forgotten it .. but that bastard made me remember it," she chuckled. "Luckily the illusion of nightmares does not repeat it."

Xie Ran was completely empty when he saw the flames devouring the people closest to him. He was too afraid of it repeating to his friends and tried to harden his heart.

You could say, Liu Ya and Xie Yao were his first elder brothers whom he really considered elder brothers. Everything disappeared in one night. Originally Xie Ran wanted to bury the two people and make a death board, but they were too cruel to burn the two right before Xie Ran's eyes and destroy everything about them.

"It's not just that. I just remembered how my foster parents died. Stupidly, at that time I did not know them as parents but colleagues. Sang Yu, dead from taking over the explosion and burning, not even his body was found. Jane got shot in my place. I ... make them die."

Xie Ran was already shaking in his mind. It was only right then that he had cried but did not know the reason. Now he understood that they were parents who raised him but he had forgotten.

"Jane said that I should be happy before his death. But it can't. I was destined to be lonely. Even in this life .. everything is lost." Xie Ran did not want to imagine who else would go. That was why he had always rejected the presence of anyone by his side because of his dangerous life. He doesn't want to harm anyone. He doesn't want everything to happen again.

"You're not alone," Qu Xuanzi said making Xie Ran turn his head. "There's me. Even if your friends leave you, I'll stay with you."

"Is that a promise?" Xie Ran wanted to laugh in his heart. Where was there someone who would remain by his side safely? For now, Qu Xuanzi was indeed always by his side. But until when? After the man was freed from the seal, Xie Ran would also be alone again. The two Dragons and Xiao Caihong would also go to where the origin took position.

"You could say so."

"I take it that way." At least for now. Xie Ran could not hope for more. He wanted to, but he couldn't do it. Although he always said he liked loneliness and solitude, it was just to comfort himself.

"If there's something that can't be said to others, tell me. Release your emotions to improve. If you hold it and lie to yourself, you'll get hurt." Qu Xuanzi did not want Xie Ran to continue to be exposed to mental stress for the rest of his life.

Qu Xuanzi knew, Xie Ran was just amusing himself with that variety of nonsense. He knew it because he had felt it before. Alone and lonely, he vents it by doing other activities or even killing. His hands were full of blood, trapped here was karma for him.

While Xie Ran was still speechless staring at the flow of water and his reflection with Qu Xuanzi. Can he hope again? At least for once. I hope he is a human being, not a tool. Hoping that he was not Isabella or Sang Ran who was filled with darkness and gloom. I hope he is not alone and lonely.

But all that trauma is like a steep crack blocking it. Xie Ran was agitated, but could not say. Although Qu Xuanzi was willing to listen as well as shoulder to shoulder for him, Xie Ran remained doubtful.

Suddenly his hands were warm to someone's touch. He saw Qu Xuanzi clasping his hands with a warm look. Is that really him? Qu Xuanzi's?

"You gotit? Wrap it to me." Qu Xuanzi repeated his sentence convincing Xie Ran to trust him more.

Xie Ran just looked at her. Her clear eyes contained water that was held back while her hands gripped her skirt and the other one grasped Qu Xuanzi's hand tighter and tighter.

At least once, Xie Ran would not be depressed. He wanted one chance. Although it was difficult to say it and his heart felt heavy, he could at least for today act selfishly. Just today.

Xie Ran hugged Qu Xuanzi and soaked his face in embarrassment. But she also could not hold back her tears anymore so tears soaked Qu Xuanzi's clothes. His embrace grew tighter accompanied by his body shaking from the sobs of crying.

Qu Xuanzi rubbed Xie Ran's hair gently. This girl has been severely tormented for over 30 years in two lives.

Seeing Xie Ran, made him think of someone thousands of years ago when he was a child. A woman who is different from others, is very contrasting between races in her world.

He lived in a place that the whole race feared, but to him it was not something to be feared. A place is not something to be feared, but the heart of a person who is blind and full of darkness.

While the woman is different. It looks hard-hearted but is actually fragile. The woman once cried in front of him, but soon the woman turned softer when welcoming him to show that he was fine. Though Qu Xuanzi was sure of hearing the woman cry alone for various reasons, then a man calmed her down.

While Qu Xuanzi could only look from afar not knowing because the woman was crying.

Little Qu Xuanzi looked up and shook his head. "Is something?"

"King Ye wants to meet you. He's been waiting for this since."

Qu Xuanzi nodded briefly. "I know." He followed the direction the man went. Sometimes he looked back where the big door was.

Qu Xuanzi back then was different from the thousands of knowers to come. Her hair was silver and it was not as cold as it was thousands of years to come. Unfortunately, that year was the last year he behaved like a good boy with a complete family.

If only he knew the cause of the woman crying. He will not remain relaxed as a obedient child who is constantly being diverted by many. He did not even get to meet the woman, and only caught a glimpse of her when she was about to sleep.

When he woke up, it was all over. Someone he knew betrayed and stabbed the woman right in front of his eyes. The man was not early.

The woman saw him from a distance, accompanied by tears that were piercing and whispering something from afar.

"Run .." whispered and lay drowning covered in blood.

Qu Xuanzi was clearly shocked. Although he had seen many deaths, he was still shocked to see the death of his own parents. He was angry, almost acting implusive if someone did not pull him, taking him away by force.

Qu Xuanzi fight. Although he was still a child of less than 10 years, he could still perform basic martial arts and was quite strong due to his special constitution. He can even use a sword to fight the person who pulled him.

"Your Majesty, don't be rash. Servant must take you to safety, you must hide."

"No!"

Qu Xuanzi refused, he could not even speak anymore to his surprise. He continued to refuse to leave, not wanting to be a coward who kept hiding while his house was destroyed.

"There will be time to respond. For now, Your Majesty should live well." The man tried to approach Qu Xuanzi who was still thrusting the sword. Qu Xuanzi retreated, knowing he could not fight a more mature person due to the difference in strength, but he did not give up.

When he was retreating, someone hit his nape from behind until his body was shaken. He saw someone else grab him and carry his small body.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

Qu Xuanzi fainted right then and there. I don't know what else happened after that day. When I woke up, everything was filled with darkness. He was alone, living in the dark with no one.

Everyone by his side died protecting him as he stayed in the dark without anyone knowing if he was still alive or not. He lives in silence, fear, hatred and vengeance. He didn't even interact with anything until he almost forgot how to talk.

Until finally an old man picked her up, taking her to a place full of light. But even though it was full of light, it remained gray. No one accepted his identity so easily, as if he was a huge scourge to be rid of.

"Xiao Zi, from now on, this place is your home. Leave the past, live well. Slowly, everyone will accept you and need you. Me and those who sacrifice will be very happy, if you're happy."

Qu Xuanzi looked at him expressionlessly and looked at his new place which was much more beautiful than his home used to be. Although it was much more beautiful and comfortable, there was no feeling whatsoever in her heart, there was only emptiness.

He was alone in a golden cage with books and all that was useful to him. He still holds a grudge in the heart that has been hidden. He could not forget the past that made his heart demon develop into a terrifying one.

Everyone knew who Qu Xuanzi was. But when he was a teenager, everyone forgot his name, only knowing his various nicknames. His power can shake the world after awakening his innate strength thanks to the help of the old man he calls Master.

Because of the momentary emotion of one's provocation when preventing intruders, he went to his hometown which the traitor had occupied for many years. He killed all of them mercilessly, not caring about his teacher's warning and making him bloodthirsty. At that moment, everyone was afraid of him. He was known by all races and became the most feared figure in the three worlds.

He doesn't even hesitate to kill anyone he doesn't like. If someone looks for trouble in him, he kills the person to the root and all his descendants so as not to look for trouble in him. He did it without blinking.

His nickname has spread rapidly. No one dared to approach, let alone provoke him. During this time, only his teacher visited for thousands of years.

Unable to endure the disturbing emotions, Qu Xuanzi chose to shut himself down for many years. Although he was cruel and heartless, sometimes he remembered something that made him feel guilty. Thousands of innocent blood were on his hands, he became increasingly disturbed and became emotional at all times.

His teacher gave a solution so that Qu Xuanzi would not continue to be distracted, as well as inherit something. Qu Xuanzi secluded himself with his teacher to a secluded place, far from the scope of the people. Through some suffering to release his heart demon. After that he became the Qu Xuanzi he was currently known for. It was not the bloodthirsty Qu Xuanzi, but rather the loner Qu Xuanzi.

But one day he makes a fatal mistake causing world damage. He fixed it, redeemed everything and sealed himself inside the pendant. He slept for hundreds of years .....
