The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
43. Glass Pagoda Contraction

Long Huo landed at the height of the hill letting Xie Ran walk the tall building that was enveloped in the barrier closer. He wondered why the Glass Pagoda had a disturbance when all this time it was safe.

Xie Ran could see clearly from the coast of the island and he was on top of the shady tree. He wore binoculars to look further at where the nine-story tall building was located.

The pagoda is filled with beautiful and shining aqua blue color. It was made of high-level glass crystals that had water mirroring on various sides and was full of good aura for cultivation. The pagoda is the only building in Lake— which is almost like sea— and is located at the center.

Around the Pagoda, the lake water shook like a tidal wave that made the water hit the lake barrier to the coast causing the land to be slightly flooded. The waves continued to hit as if they were rampaging. The barrier was reinforced by a white-haired old man with a wooden stick in his hand.

An unattractive and weak-looking man can actually maintain a shaky barrier? The world is hard to predict.

When the barrier is strengthened, the wave shocks are increasingly alarming. The earth shook suddenly like an earth god had gone berserk. The moonlight shone bright and perfect as if giving strength to the waves.

A mist figure appeared on Xie Ran's side looking at the chaotic lake with a flat face. "Something woke up there."

"What?" Xie Ran was a little surprised at Qu Xuanzi's presence, but there wasn't much protest. He just wanted to focus on the shining glass pagoda.

"I can feel it, he's here."

"Who?"

"Sea Dragon."

"How come? The Sea Dragon is dead!" Long Yun insisted. He had seen for himself the death of the entire Dragon race and had attempted to save a few, but only Long Huo had survived despite having to hibernate.

"I don't know how he got here. The humans used my power to hold him right under the sea where the Pagoda is."

"Actually, is there something like this?" Xie Ran was surprised. Qu Xuanzi's strength was extremely powerful but someone had used it to confine the Dragon.

Qu Xuanzi himself was confused. First his strength was used to activate the portal, then imprison the Sea Dragons fixed beneath the lake. Then what else?

In the end, he had missed a lot of human development year after year due to slumber. At that time the perception was not as strong as it is now, so do not know for sure during the confinement and change hands.

Looking back at the old man flying in the sky without wings, it was predictable that he was at least at the saint level. It made sense that he could strengthen the barrier and capture the Sea Dragon, but it became a question of how he could use the Qu Xuanzi shards of power! Although it was only a fraction, it was not easy to handle!

Xie Ran looked at using binoculars to take a closer look at the pagoda situation. Qu Xuanzi did not need to use binoculars, he could even see ants walking clearly on the ground from above the tree.

The old man landed in the Pagoda. The vibration has gradually dissipated once the barrier is settled. But the waves are still not calm. The old man went inside.

Xie Ran was unable to see what was inside making him cluck his head. If he had a perception as good as Qu Xuanzi who could tell what was going on there.

"I have to win the tournament. It's the only way." Xie Ran was determinedly strong. Somehow he wanted to let go of the poor Dragon.

Based on the story, the Dragon was hit by a double attack between the war and Hydra. Hydra has ruled the sea so that humans can only hunt fish by the sea for the brave, They also have to be careful if they do not want Hydra's men in the form of sea snakes to attack in a deadly way. That is why most fishermen fish in the river. Xie Ran wanted the sea to be calm again without any worries. She can also eat her favorite fish.

"We're leaving." Xie Ran decided to retreat and sighed. Buruan was already in front of him but he could only see because it was weak, this was painful!

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the morning, the academy was shocked by an earthquake that occurred a few minutes a night. They surmised that the earthquake had occurred in the Glass Pagoda because the biggest quake was at the center of the academy. They began to gossip that the Glass Pagoda monster was raging for unknown reasons and some started to fear if the monster attacked them out of anger.

But it's just a rumor.

Sanctions eyes have been leaning merrily on the tree like monkeys enjoying the sunshine. He had seen his friends train so hard and felt so satisfied. Merely, he was still saddened by not being able to approach the Glass Pagoda any further so he was forced to retreat.

"Xiao Ran, why are you there? You don't want breakfast?" Zhou Kui shouted at him loudly.

Xie Ran only cleared his throat, yet his eyes were still closed relaxed. Zhou Kui sighed. He couldn't do anything else if Xie Ran was already lazy like that. They only needed to do the exercises that Xie Ran had recorded neatly.

Rarely does Xie Ran write neatly because usually his writing is like chicken claws. Xie Ran did not know either, but he was glad his hand skills improved. Is it because of pure energy?

Xie Ran had broken through level two of pure energy. His aura and face were increasingly clear calming and majestic, but not his opposite nature. He even 'sungs' in the tree like a monkey. What kind of attitude is that?

"XIAO RAN'S! I'VE SPENT THE FOOD!"

Spontaneous Xie Ran jumped from the tree and reached next to Mei Liena in one blink of an eye. Mei Liena's shout was extremely sinister for Xie Ran. He immediately took the breakfast that the girl made.

"Where were you last night? There was an earthquake, you weren't in the tent. I think something happened if Pei Xi didn't explain it." Zhong Xiaorong commented. Their current place was the Star Forest that was famous for its dangers, how not to worry if it realized one of them did not exist?

Xie Ran grinned without a burden. "I'm just walking around."

"Speaking about the earthquake, does anyone know what happened last night? Pei Xi and Xiao Ran were still awake, did you know?" Zhou Kui asked.

Xie Ran and Pei Xi shook their heads almost simultaneously. Where do they know? The problem is that it's at the academy. Xie Ran knew but couldn't possibly tell that the Dragon under the pagoda was awakening and raging.

"I hope it's not a sign of something" Liu Chang murmured, but there were still six others.

"We just need to focus on training. Earthquake problem, let the higher-ups take care, we who are disciples can not do anything." Xie Ran spoke the facts. In reality he didn't want to interfere in the old man's affairs last night. He only wanted to take off the Sea Dragon and restore Qu Xuanzi's strength. After that, then he could unmask the Dean of the magic department.

"You're right." Mei Liena agreed. There is no point in these weak ones compared to the higher-ups. Although Xie Ran had a strong man behind him, they should not be rash either. It's someone else's business.

They returned to training as they had. A total of 60 physical exercises and carrying stones to the mountain as far as 2 kilometers. The longer, the more they get used to it so they can complete the exercise faster than the first day.

Every time they brought a stone, they took the initiative to add weight to their shoulders when they realized they were used to it. With this, their strength would increase even faster. Their legs also become stronger and faster and the body becomes lighter than before.

Xie Ran was satisfied with their development. It had been a week they practiced, in the end starting to cultivate. Xie Ran said to absorb as much qi but slowly so that the body is not affected by qi irregularities. The clumping Qi was not good for the body except for Xie Ran who could purify qi with the help of pure energy.

Two months have passed so quickly. Some of them had broken through, one of them was Mei Liena. Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena broke through faster than expected to the professional stage with Xie Ran's guidance on cultivation. The other five congratulated the breach. They are so happy they want to jump.

"Ah, I'm really being a genius! You girls of the curse are no match for me!" Zhong Xiaorong was very pleased. It only took a few months, he had achieved professional. It was the biggest event of his life. He thinks he can break into the professional next year.

While Mei Liena was still speechless as she did not expect. He has been in the advanced stage for the past few years and has been in severe congestion until he can't develop. Now that he's making a breakthrough, he's certainly very happy.

"Liena, I think that in addition to cultivating, you should try shooting your apothecary level. Look for medicinal ingredients in this forest and study them. Pharmacists are not easy." Xie Ran admitted that. He himself could not become an apothecary. Just like doctors, pharmacists are very difficult despite their higher rank of doctors in the modern world. That was not Xie Ran's skill at all.

"Further training is the hunt for wild animals, I will divide the team into two, three and four members respectively. From now on, our training will be separated in the forest for the next month. How's it?"

"Started?" Liu Chang was surprised. In a forest this big they split into two halves, it was terrifying!

"What if you get lost?" Mei Liena was a bit afraid to think about it.

"It wouldn't be if you weren't careless and went in too deep. If you haven't gathered in a month, we'll be looking for each other. That'sthat's all. We'll be together in this place two days before the holidays are up."

"Good."

They started to draw groups. Xie Ran wrote down the numbers 1 and 2 on 7 papers then shuffled them. They just need to pick up a paper containing their group numbers. If they are on the same number, then that is their group.

Xie Ran took number 2, Pei Xi number 1, Yan Yao number 2, Zhou Kui number 1, Liu Chang number 2, Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena number 1.

After comparing the group numbers, they began to tidy up the items and put them into the spatial ring. Dividing food into their respective spatial rings as well as medicine and other items.

"Now we must part ways, see you next month!" Yan Yao waved her hand. They had taken a different direction this time according to the group.

"Bye bye!" Group 1 waved their hands and left the four.

Xie Ran was a woman in her group. He saw the departure of the four humans in the hope that they could return to bring results.

"Xiao Ran, come on!" Liu Chang called out to him feeling Xie Ran was not following.

"Yes!" Xie Ran immediately ran towards them.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

It had been a whole day of Xie Ran, Yan Yao, and Liu Chang walking in the middle of the Star Forest. But not a single beast roamed. There are only small animals such as rabbits, snakes, and other small animals that are used as food by them.

Liu Chang and Yan Yao spoke all day as if they would never stop forever. Whereas Xie Ran just kept silent with a dark face watching the ravings were useless and was eager to hit them right now. Why are they so noisy? Is it not thirsty?

Xie Ran clucked bitterly and left with wide strides leaving them. The two originally carefree-talking humans realized their little sister was sulking, they immediately followed equalizing steps.

"Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you?" Yan Yao asked.

"No. I'm just upset there haven't been any wild animals since."

"Isn't nice? We are safe here," Liu Chang exclaimed immediately after Xie Ran's elbow.

"This girl, besides being beautiful there is absolutely no soft-soft. What if I get married later? You're not gonna make your husband a boxing bag, are you?" yan Yao Goda.

"Yeneneye!"

Xie Ran was really annoyed with the two men who liked to tease him. Pei Xi and Zhou Kui were better off, unfortunately the two of them were with Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena. These two annoying men should be on the two chatty girls so that the ears of the beast break because of them.

Despite knowing Xie Ran was already very upset, the two men still teased him by saying various strange things. They were not afraid of Xie Ran and felt Xie Ran was very cute with that dark face. Especially if you are angry. That's why they like to tease him and get noisy.

But their temptation came to a halt as soon as they saw a smudged figure appear staring at them hungry. The two men swallowed the salivary, began to put up horses to fight and protect their sister.

But the one protected instead put on a flat face indifferently. He killed a tiger in his past life. "Only a low-level forest tiger, I've killed two at once. Bored!"

"Huh?" Yan Yao and Liu Chang were both shocked. Actually this little girl once killed two forest Tigers at once?

Knowing the human girl underestimated him, the Tiger got even more angry and directly targeted her. Yan Yao and Liu Chang reacted more quickly to taking out a weapon about to fight.

Yan Yao immediately cast her magic making the Tiger retreat. However not stopping the Tiger's anger, it continued to target Xie Ran with its claws.

Liu Chang jumped up with a tightly grasped sword, slashing his thin sword towards the Tiger, yet his slash was unable to hurt him. Instead the Tiger felt it had to get rid of these two men first.

Yan Yao and Liu Chang carried out a combination attack. Their speed increased during the 2 months of practicing as well as their magic power. White and blue rays shot out so quickly through the Tiger's body.

The Tiger body gave off a golden light. The magic that attacked him bounced off causing an explosion on the ground. The forest tiger could not use long-range magic, he could only approach the prey and tear apart like a tiger in general. But the two humans had understood the weakness of the Tiger so as to continue to keep the attack distance.

Xie Ran was just a henchman looking. If he joined the fight, the fight was no longer fierce because the tiger would quickly die. Basically, Xie Ran's speed was faster than a tiger so it could instantly take the core of a savage beast unnoticed. That's not exciting.

Yan Yao took out her fan and took it off like a boomerang towards a tiger. The fan was as if it was a blade and managed to slash the Tiger skin and return to Yan Yao's hands. Yan Yao pulled the silver thread that emerged from the wound as the fan slashed at the Tiger. It crept into the Tiger like a chain.

That silver thread was one of Yan Yao's fan power. The fan can lay a silver thread that has almost the same function as a silver needle. The thread will become a parasite. If pulled, it does not escape easily and can control the Tiger like a puppet. It's called 'Benang Puppet'.

"Liu Chang!" Yan Yao gestured for Liu Chang to make a final attack.

Liu Chang nodded in understanding. He leaped upwards and slashed his sword until it formed a sizable beam of blue slashes towards the Tiger.

His slash was right about the Tiger. The tiger roared in pain. His voice was so terrible and it sounded slicing making the birds fly chaotic in surprise.

Fresh blood appeared on the Tiger's body as well as his mouth. The forest tiger is no longer alive. After making sure the Tiger had died, the two kept their respective weapons and approached Xie Ran.

"Well done!" Xie Ran gave a thumbs up.

"You okay? Not under attack?" Yan Yao was a bit worried to the point of ignoring Xie Ran's strange sentence. In his eyes, Xie Ran was his sister to be looked after. No one can hurt him. So did Liu Chang, he was worried too.

"What could happen to me? I told you, I could kill 2 forest Tigers at once." Xie Ran remained calm.

Yan Yao chuckled. He just remembered that Xie Ran was too cruel and powerful. The girl did not need extra protection from such a small creature.

"Get the beast's core, it's yours." Xie Ran spoke indifferently.

"You don't want to?" Liu Chang asked.

Xie Ran nodded. "I'm too rich, so don't want it." Actually that's not the right reason. People used the beast core to cultivate by absorbing the energy within the beast core. But Xie Ran who had pure energy could not absorb it, his energy rejected the energy of any animal so it became useless.
