The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
48. The Cold War (1)

Zhong Xiaorong and Mei Liena were in the pavilion together awaiting the arrival of Xie Ran who was in the library. He said he wanted to study, but the two of them preferred to practice in the pavilion.

Since then Zhong Xiaorong trained his body for quite some time. Her body did a propeller motion, spinning like a wind chirp behind Mei Liena who was concocting medicine. They were like that since then while chatting casually.

"You're going to fight tonight? With who?" Zhong Xiaorong asked.

"Shang Ni, rank 1000 earth." Mei Liena replied calmly.

"1000 earth? You're kidding, Xiao Ran is training us not to be the final rank." Zhong Xiaorong laughed disdainfully as he salted.

"That's just the beginning. I want to see to what extent my limit starts from the final earth rank before reaching the top 10 of the earth rank and advancing further into the sky rank. I am not Xiao Ran who directly challenged the top 50. I'm not as good as him." Mei Liena frankly casually without any burden. He had planned it all along. In one month, he would reach the top 10 of the earth rank. Then he continued his cultivation to challenge the sky rank for the next 3 months.

"I directly challenged the top 10 earth rankers just like Liu Chang," Zhong Xiaorong said. "Do you think Xiao Ran will challenge again? What about Pei Xi and Yan Yao?"

"Just ask them. To Xiao Ran, it seemed like he would challenge again, but did not know when," Mei Liena said then frowned. "I've tried to finish it, but the instructor didn't accept this kind of result. I'm a bad pharmacist."

Zhong Xiaorong stopped turning around and looked at the medicine that Mei Liena had made. "I don't think it's bad. You make poison and cure."

"As a pharmacist, I can't just make poison. I'll repeat!"

Zhong Xiaorong rolled his eyes puffed. Mei Liena had always been like that all day making her sick. Where is Xiao Ran at the moment?

Just as Zhong Xiaorong was thinking about it, he felt something familiar coming from outside. There was someone other than Xiao Ran and that person made his flat face turn tense.

"Damn!" Zhong Xiaorong immediately put on a robe and dashed into the courtyard of the pavilion.

While Mei Liena saw him confused. Unable to let go of the curiosity, he took the robe and came out.

Once in the courtyard, Mei Liena's feet stiffened instantly seeing the appearance of the black-robed handsome man look mysterious. However when he saw Zhong Xiaorong who was putting on a tense face at once lowered his head, he immediately guessed that the man was one of the members of the empire.

He is Emperor Zhong! After getting to know her, Mei Liena lowered her head and saluted respectfully. Ah, it was unexpected to meet the handsome and ruthless Emperor now. His face was so handsome that he wanted a nosebleed, but he had to endure it if he didn't want to lose his head.

"Sir brother first, what is the need to come all the way to the academy?" Zhong Xiaorong was a bit nervous when faced with his older brother this one. The man always dominated and made her feel down.

Seeing how rigid the relationship of these brothers was, Xie Ran immediately interceded. "Rongrong, Your Majesty would like to speak with you. I won't bother."

"Xiao—"

"I have to get to the arena!" Xie Ran stroked Zhong Xiaorong's speech and immediately pulled Mei Liena outside.

Mei Liena bowed to pay her respects and went to follow Xie Ran. His movements were so stiff from nervousness that Xie Ran was so upset.

Zhong Guofeng was pensive to see it. Why did the situation become like this? Why would Xie Ran let her be with this one fussy princess? Though he came for Xie Ran mumpung no man who followed him at that time, but the girl instead fled in a storm as if avoiding him.

"Sir brother first, anything to talk about?" Zhong Xiaorong looked at him innocently. To his knowledge, Zhong Guofeng had never had any business with him. Their relationship is very rigid because they rarely meet.

Zhong Guofeng looked at his sister and sighed. Already like this, he could only straighten the grooves.

Xie Ran dragged Mei Liena all the way without speaking while the one being dragged was only obedient without protest. Obviously if he stays there, he will have a nosebleed right then and maybe his head is gone then and there.

Xie Ran is different. This was the thing that was awaited from the beginning. The reason for escorting Zhong Guofeng to the moon pavilion meeting his sister was so that Xie Ran could freely roam around. He naturally knew from Zhong Guofeng's movements, that man would definitely want to stick to him like gum. Just like his friends if now present.

Especially considering Zhong Guofeng who asked about Qu Xuanzi ....

"I haven't seen him since then" Zhong Guofeng said.

"Who?"

"The man who said keep on with you." Zhong Guofeng's remarks were like innuendo.

"He ...." Clearly Xie Ran knew who Zhong Guofeng meant. "Busy."

Zhong Guofeng sneered inwardly. "He wasn't busy following you to the palace like a bodyguard."

Xie Ran broke out in a cold sweat. If that master teacher heard it, it would somehow deal with it. The emperor was too outspoken!

"It wasn't busy, but it's busy." Xie Ran tried to find an excuse. He wants to get out of here right now! Quickly arrive at the moon pavilion, Zhong Xiaorong will help him!

Xie Ran had to thank Zhong Xiaorong after this. That one emperor made him uncomfortable with his words of insinuation towards Qu Xuanzi. He only wished Qu Xuanzi had not heard of it.

Unfortunately ... A certain master teacher was in a bad mood after realizing the other party had teased his girl as well as trampled on her.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Today was quite tough for Xie Ran. He dodged Zhong Guofeng for a full day in a way not to return to the Moon Pavilion so was forced to challenge in the arena.

The fight this time around was quite easy for him, but it wasn't as easy as sending people flying with a single blow. He exchanged blows several times and could finally get a chance of breaking through the top 500 of the sky rank. He felt his body ache today.

Mei Liena challenged 2 at once and won. Liu Chang also won 2 fights and has now been in the top 10 of the earth rank. Their progress increased drastically leaving everyone flabbergasted. It even became the talk of some people.

Zhong Xiaorong's? I don't know what he did in the pavilion with that stiff Emperor. Xie Ran will be back later if he wants to.

Whereas Xie Ran had good days, not with Tang Yueha in the Star Pavilion.

Tang Yueha had met with Emperor Zhong before, but she had been rejected before stepping in would the man's cold demeanor that had not glanced at her at all. Just seeing him no, let alone talking and liking him.

Tang Yueha looked at herself in the mirror. Beautiful face, slim and tall body, graceful and wise temperament, high cultivation, smart playing music and cooking. What else is less than him? Tang Yueha did not think out. When everyone admired her as a goddess, the man rejected her indirectly.

Initially Tang Yueha thought that she should try once again to get on good terms. When looking for him, he saw Zhong Guofeng walking over and smiling with the new disciple, Xiao Ran. Why Xiao Ran?! What a good thing about that dancer that even once attracted attention at a palace party!

Tang Yueha who usually looked graceful and polite now unmasked her getting rid of all the items with a single hand gesture. Everything was shattered except the glass in front of him.

"Am I looking for the Xie Clan's help again?" Tang Yueha hesitated. Actually he didn't really like the Xie Clan too much.

She didn't like Tang Zhi, but she couldn't do anything under Tang Zhi's power. If he were to rely on the Xie Clan again, it would be tantamount to him being a puppet that the Xie Clan controlled. He didn't want that to happen.

The reason why Tang Yueha settled in the border was to avoid the Xie Clan. He had agreed to come to the academy to avoid the Xie Clan while looking for a way to be at the top. But with just an academy, it was still not enough. He needed greater strength to not be controlled anymore. The Xie Clan had already fed him up!

"No, I'll use my own abilities!" Tang Yueha rejected that thought. He did not want to be controlled by the devil anymore. "Xiao Ran, you can't step on me. You can take the rank or any other except Zhong Guofeng. I won't let anyone get in my way. Clan Xie, I will destroy you!"

Tang Yueha groaned in annoyance and sat down in the middle of the room. He's been tortured enough for years. Act as if nothing has happened and close your eyes to what is happening in front of you.

It was hard for him to build up his reputation and original strength to show opposition to the Xie Clan. But he just fell down and again the Xie Clan wanted to take advantage of him. He's not stupid.

The old rascal wanted to use it to get on good terms with the empire in order for the Xie Clan to have full support. But they did not know, that Tang Yueha used it for her own strength and destroyed the Xie Clan. It was already in his mind.

But now that plan had to change because of a girl named Xiao Ran. He hates his hindrance!

"Miss, dinner's ready."

The voice of the maid rang out to Tang Yueha's ears. He got up and walked out of the room with his graceful steps. His appearance had already turned normal before coming out using his strength. He walked as if nothing had happened with a gentle smile covering his hatred.

This is what he faced. Pretense and falsehood. Everything has to be done not easily.

Her gentle smile was different from a depressed and hateful face. The shadow of someone's death flashed across his head as soon as he saw Tang Zhi in front of him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Two months have passed naturally. Xie Ran had now managed to grab the top 30 of the sky rank and would challenge the top 20. The longer the opponent gets stronger so Xie Ran has to be harder. But he always wins the fight.

Pei Xi had surpassed Yan Yao and had come first. While Yan Yao did not want to lose and was second. He was not that stupid to challenge Pei Xi. While Zhou Kui was also already in the top 5 of the sky rank.

Zhong Xiaorong had just broken through to the sky rank whereas Liu Chang was going to overtake a few more days. Mei Liena was also already in the top 10 of the earth rank after challenging every day. He's been working hard.

Xie Ran was currently going to walk into the city buying something. When it was about to exit the pavilion, Qu Xuanzi suddenly appeared making Xie Ran's heart again want to jump. Why does that guy always surprise her?

"Why did you come out?" It's not usually that guy comes out. Though the previous days the man was so busy that they rarely interacted.

"Inside very bored."

Bored of? Xie Ran only knew this master teacher could get bored at any given moment. It's okay, he's also a living creature even though he's not human.

"alright. You can go anywhere." Xie Ran did not refuse. He pulled the pavilion gate about to come out and closed it back, yet again his heart wanted to jump once he saw another handsome man appear.

Cursed are the handsome men who always disturb the peace of the heart. What if he has heart disease? Do they want to bear the cost? Operations are expensive and not necessarily in this world!

"Zhong Guofeng, what's wrong?" Xie Ran felt his lifespan shorten if this continued. But he continued to try to be patient so that his age did not get shorter.

Zhong Guofeng saw Qu Xuanzi's whereabouts immediately narrowed his eyes and saw Xie Ran return. "Is the business done?"

"Yes" said Xie Ran hesitantly while scratching his non-itchy head. He glanced at the cold-faced Qu Xuanzi. It seemed like Qu Xuanzi still held a grudge against the Emperor. "For the time being, he's here."

Zhong Guofeng raised his eyebrows sharply. "Died here?"

"Yes." Yeah."/ "No."

Xie Ran and Qu Xuanzi spoke at the same time. He looked at Qu Xuanzi accusingly. Is the man's hand itchy and looking for a punching bag? Why did Qu Xuanzi say 'yes'!

Just now that Xie Ran was about to straighten out, Zhong Guofeng had already misunderstood first. "Men and women cannot live together. There is also my sister in there. As a brother, I won't allow you."

"I don't need permission to stay with Ranran." Qu Xuanzi replied so calmly, yet not his eyes were showing coldness. He even showed off his closeness to Xie Ran by calling him 'Ranran'. It made Zhong Guofeng very upset.

"But in there is my sister." Zhong Guofeng tried to play a good brother for the right reasons.

"Then, Ranran can move to a better place. Your sister and her friend are intruding." Qu Xuanzi's words so made Zhong Guofeng clench his fists as he tried to calm down.

Zhong Guofeng tried to remain as calm and dignified as possible. His flat face growing colder indicated that he was extremely dislikeful of Qu Xuanzi.

"Ranran has the imperial token and must stay here. That's the rule." He emphasized his call indicating that he was also close to Xie Ran.

Qu Xuanzi was getting increasingly displeased. "You brought up the imperial token as if asking for payment. Didn't you voluntarily give it?"

"Rules are rules. You can't break it just because your qualifications are higher." Zhong Guofeng had comprehended Qu Xuanzi's strength on top of that. So he can give that assessment.

"You also can't ban me just because you're the Emperor." Just a human Emperor, what was there to fear?

"Because I'm the Emperor, I can ban you." Who can oppose the Emperor? Not even gods!

"Only an Emperor can rule me?" How great is the guts of this one 'Emperor.

"Stop!" Xie Ran who was in the middle of the cold war had already shivered from the start and was eager to bury himself underground. Why does his life have to be like this!

The two stared at Xie Ran intensely as if the girl was an ant that could be easily removed. Xie Ran gulped down the coarse salivary feeling this coldness.

But his sense of shame outweighed fear. Bodo period what head is missing or not. He's already pissed off!

"Can you guys step aside? I want to buy things for urgent business." Xie Ran half begged. Why do these two men always interfere with his life if met? Not in the palace, not here.

Seeing their unfriendly expressions, Xie Ran was confident his head would disappear.

Bye bye head~
