The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
58. Xie Ran vs Tang Yueha

Early in the morning Xie Ran was already in the arena. Sitting on the podium while looking at the match between students who continue to get cheers from the audience.

Last night, Xie Ran and Zhong Xiaorong got drunk together making Xie Ran almost wake up late. He's still sleepy now, but the match is about to start.

Regarding the engagement of Zhong Xiaorong and Yan Yao, it had been planned long ago by the previous Emperor between the Emperor and the Yan Clan. They will be in a relationship through their eldest son with the ninth daughter who will then be born. When Zhong Xiaorong found out, he certainly did not agree and was furious until he escaped from the Palace, but the marriage contract could not be canceled let alone had become the will of the previous Emperor.

That was why Zhong Xiaorong had always been unkind to Yan Yao. For Yan Yao to break the marriage contract and she would be free. But it never happened. Initially Yan Yao agreed to break the contract, but her family opposed and continued to suppress her. Moreover, Yan Yao was also forced to agree to the reason of her beloved grandfather's will. Yan Yao had no other reason to abort.

Zhong Xiaorong told me in tears that he was distressed by the rules of the Palace. The Empress and Concubine did not love him and continued to be humbled by the Princess and the Prince so that she was among the outcast princess since her mother died. He was also forced to agree to the contract for the sake of his late mother. In addition, many wanted to kill him for some reason from both the Concubine and the other Princess.

Only Prince Mingfeng was there for him. But that one Prince also did not understand his feelings and was always busy so Zhong Xiaorong always harbored his own troubles.

While Zhong Xiaorong and Zhong Guofeng's relationship could be fairly ordinary, there was nothing special. Other than because Zhong Guofeng was a person whom Zhong Xiaorong respected and never undermined him, Zhong Xiaorong was not close to that Emperor other than if there was something that could take advantage of each other. Arguably, their relationship as sisters is very rigid and feels like a business relationship.

Xie Ran was inexhaustible with that arrogant princess. His arrogant nature and bad reputation are made as a mask to cover all problems so that no one can guess how life really is. No enemy would touch it like that.

I don't know how many more dark secrets his friends will reveal. Pei Xi was right, they all had a dark past each. Including Xie Ran.

"You're really going to fight Tang Yueha?" Liu Chang suddenly appeared by his side. It was fortunate that Xie Ran had already discovered his presence first so was not surprised.

"Sooner or later I will fight him if I want to enter the tournament."

Actually Xie Ran was reluctant to fight with Tang Yueha. They had no grudges and he did not want to bother, but he had to do it to get the position. It was also for his friends. When seen among his friends, no one else could defeat Tang Yueha other than Pei Xi. Moreover, after this challenge, Tang Yueha would challenge Yan Yao.

"I'm sure you can beat him." Liu Chang believed. Xie Ran's fist was extremely painful plus his crazy training. Efforts will not betray results.

"Where is Zhou Kui, and the two spoiled children?" To Pei Xi and Yan Yao, he remembered the two of them had taken missions in the Tianyun valley.

"Rongrong was heavily drunk and had not yet woken up. Liena and Zhou Kui will be coming soon."

Xie Ran nodded in understanding. Apparently he was too early in the morning to come to the arena to leave all of them still struggling with blankets.

After the arrival of Zhou Kui and Mei Liena, the names of Xie Ran and Tang Yueha summoned above the arena made him have to hurry.

"Xiao Ran, spirit!" The three cheered while Xie Ran only smiled. They believed Xie Ran would win.

Xie Ran set foot onto the arena. Seeing the presence of Tang Yueha who looked elegant and graceful in her white clothes, everyone started cheering happily especially for the men.

In the academy, Xie Ran and Tang Yueha were famous for their beauty and strength. They were in the arena this time so attracted the attention of many people that the stands were filled with spectators. Many cheered in support of their respective camps.

Tang Yueha who had always had the best reputation had more supporters. Although Xie Ran was prettier, Xie Ran was known as a dashing girl who was not like a woman at all. Most men liked a gentle woman like Tang Yueha and would be afraid of a fierce woman like Xie Ran. That was why more supported Tang Yueha.

Precisely with this, Xie Ran had a lot of chances of getting the betting money.

The referee immediately announced that the match had opened. The two did not say much, instantly swinging their hands subtly preparing an aura that stunned everyone.

The sword in Tang Yueha's hand appeared beautiful looking and filled with crystals. It was the same as Xie Chen's sword before, made of medium spiritual stone and was a rare artifact. It was not the first time Xie Ran had seen him because every time he fought, Tang Yueha always used that sword while Xie Ran had assessed Tang Yueha's abilities from the previous match.

"We have no previous grudges, don't blame me because the sword has no eyes." Tang Yueha. Ah, more precisely he was eager to destroy Xiao Ran who had snatched the Emperor from him. He would damage Xiao Ran's face by reason of the accident within the arena.

Xie Ran who did not know Tang Yueha's intentions only smiled. "You're right." Although she did not know her true intentions, she knew Tang Yueha had no good intentions on her. Xie Ran will play his game well.

Tang Yueha swung her sword nimble and nimble. Each swing of the sword had pressure and a bright purple trail that flashed swiftly made it look even more beautiful.

Xie Ran could admit, Tang Yueha's sword technique was excellent. But that does not mean Xie Ran does not know sword techniques even though he never uses a sword.

If Tang Yueha's technique was fairly smooth and beautiful, then Xie Ran's technique was included into brutal and cruel. Suddenly a sword appeared in Xie Ran's hand that had dodged and clashed with Tang Yueha's sword. Xie Ran's sword was indeed an ordinary sword, but the way he used included being strong and able to withstand Tang Yueha's powerful sword.

Xie Ran once practiced fencing and kendo - a samurai sword from Japan - first to master. He had even been a kendo trainer in the Red Room so all the swords in his eyes were just toys. Adding on with his increased speed and strength, his sword techniques grew even more terrifying.

"This is the first time I've seen Xiao Ran use a sword." Mei Liena. Xie Ran's sword technique was strange, but extremely powerful!

"Right, what technique did he learn? I never saw her." Liu Chang as a sword user could not help but wonder. There were many sword techniques in this world, but Xie Ran was the least he had ever seen.

"Maybe it was taught by his master back when he was a child. Xiao Ran once said he was from a mysterious group that trained children to be strong." Zhou Kui remained calm despite being curious. Let it be Xie Ran's own secret. He also has a secret.

"Xiao Ran had used his trump card, it meant that Tang Yueha was indeed difficult to deal with." Liu Chang grew even more horrified with Tang Yueha.

Not only were they curious about Xie Ran's strange sword technique, the others were also curious to the point that their focus was only on Xie Ran.

Tang Yueha was a little surprised that Xie Ran was wielding a sword. All this time the girl had never used a sword during a fight. He did not even know what those strange sword techniques that looked cruel and violent were. At first he thought it was just a random move, yet he was wrong. It was even extremely powerful even without an aura.

Feeling unable to last any longer, Tang Yueha used the next technique of the purple sky sword and night lotus magic. His sword strength increased drastically. Each time it shook its sword, a blade of bright purple energy shot out dazzlingly and could split anything like a laser.

Xie Ran looked down to avoid it. His sword was engulfed in blazing flames and disguised the combined enchantment magic. When he shook his sword, flames spread out around the arena to make the arena barrier strengthened so as not to break.

"Xiao Ran, actually whatever is up your sleeve," muttered Tang Yueha gritting her teeth. He was about to catch fire if not quickly make a defense and avoid the flames that would devour him. That fire, although low-level was still too strong. Impossible!

Seeing Tang Yueha look annoyed, Xie Ran smiled. "Tang Yueha, the sword has no eyes. Don't blame me for hurting you."

Tang Yueha was increasingly irritated to realize her sentence was reversed. He darted very quickly making the energy blades while his body floated in the air. Xie Ran used the displacement of the earth to avoid it so that his body twinkled from one place to another. Every time he disappeared, the energy blades always exploded in his place.

The longer, Xie Ran increasingly darted away towards Tang Yueha. His sword struck Tang Yueha's energy blade and tore it apart until the aura Tang Yueha released turned to attack. Tang Yueha returned to the arena floor clutching her aching chest. It could be hit by a counterattack of its own power.

"Xiao Ran, that's enough. You'll take everything away from me" he muttered and then stood up straight. His body was engulfed in a bright purple radiance that formed like a lotus with 9 petals. His glowing eyebrows gave rise to the lotus symbol that stunned everyone.

"Did he break through?" Zhou Kui was confused. At a time like this, it was not the time to break through. Moreover, Tang Yueha was not completely suppressed.

Whereas in the arena, Xie Ran just stared at him casually without interest. If he were to use an illusion now, it was afraid that Tang Yueha would have long since died even though she had broken through.

But Tang Yueha's change this time was not due to a breakthrough. It made Xie Ran chuckle. "He borrowed someone's strength. Tired of living and dying."

Tang Yueha had completed the change. He looked more alive and his purple eyes were glowing. The lotus symbol on his forehead continued to give off a majesty that fascinated everyone. While Xie Ran had a dark face when he saw it more clearly.

"You're making me angry." Originally Xie Ran did not have a grudge against Tang Yueha, but now it was different. He wanted to kill her more than killing Xie Chen.

Tang Yueha looked at the gloomy-faced Xie Ran smiling triumphantly. He was confident that he could win the battle with this power and damage the face of the girl. He'll get what he wants.

The sword in his hand swung like a shadow. His speed exceeding before made anyone who saw feel dizzy. Looking at the unfocused Xie Ran, he did not want to waste the opportunity.

Each attack was always directed at Xie Ran's face while Xie Ran continued to dodge with his unfriendly gaze. Full of anger, yet did nothing as if wanting to see how far Tang Yueha stepped. But in Tang Yueha's eyes, the girl was overwhelmed by it.

"Hmph, still dare to defy me?" Tang Yueha sneered and slashed her sword again brutally until Xie Ran was pushed back by several meters.

He moved his sword again as if he was going to kill the girl. The movement of his sword formed a symbol that formed in the air. Then pushed hard like a wall. The wind blew so fiercely that everyone shuddered at him.

The symbol moved swiftly leaving a bright purple magic trail in the air and struck right towards Xie Ran. Xie Ran crossed his arms in front of the chest receiving pressure and was thrown away. His body rolled over, yet he immediately restrained his body from falling from the arena using his sword.

Everyone thought Xie Ran had lost. Seeing the girl just silently accept the attack, it was obvious there was nothing to do. Even Xie Ran bled out from his mouth making Tang Yueha smile. His heart was filled with madness that he had defeated his rival. The emperor would not be interested in the girl especially if it was made defective.

Tang Yueha did not want to let go and immediately launched a sword towards Xie Ran. Although Xie Ran was already bowed at the end of the arena, he only wanted to slightly scratch his face for his future to disappear. The face is the future of women. He hated the fact Xie Ran was prettier than her to the point of attracting the Emperor's attention and wanted to ruin it.

Everyone was shocked, including the three humans who had already gripped the fist tightly and got up from the chair. They wanted to stop the fight, but were powerless to the point of hating themselves. How Tang Yueha biaa was so cruel!

Tang Yueha's speed was so fast that her figure reached in front of Xie Ran with the sword in her hand. However, as soon as the sword scratched Xie Ran's cheek until it bled, he felt a strong grip that left his arm sore. He was surprised when he saw Xie Ran looking at him with a mocking look.

Xie Ran snorted. "Stupid."

Xie Ran further tightened his grip as if he was going to break his bones. Tang Yueha whimpered in pain. He used his sword to cut off Xie Ran's hand but Xie Ran instantly caught the tip of the sword until his palm dripped bloody. Just then, Xie Ran twisted Tang Yueha's arm and was loud until the sound of a broken bone sounded so terrifying.

Tang Yueha's moaning voice made one tribune shudder in horror. They stared at the injured Xie Ran with horror and gulped down the saliva not daring to comment. The girl looks like a demon now.

"Your bones are as fragile as a baby." Xie Ran spoke expressionlessly approaching Tang Yueha who was holding onto her aching hand. His steps slowly, yet managed to make Tang Yueha tremble. Tang Yueha herself did not know why she was afraid to see Xie Ran like this.

Xie Ran rubbed the wound on his face and looked at the blood sticking up. "I've had the same injury. It was even more terrifying," Xie Ran said sounding extremely calm. "Yes, a burn. Someone burned my place and killed my people. Even smashed my face." Xie Ran looked at Tang Yueha full of ridicule despite being flat-faced. "Have you heard of it?"

"Xiao Ran, you-"

"I don't blame you because the sword has no eyes. You don't have to blame me either." Xie Ran darted so fast that almost no one could notice it and was suddenly already behind Tang Yueha.

Tang Yueha immediately slashed her sword backwards, but Xie Ran found no whereabouts. When he noticed Xie Ran behind him, he slashed again but found nothing but an incision that suddenly appeared on his arm making blood flow profusely.

"This is the arena, why are you even contemplating?" Xie Ran sneered in his ear but disappeared again.

Once again the incision appeared so deep at Tang Yueha's feet that the girl knelt down while enduring the pain. The problem is that Xie Ran's steps are difficult to predict so he can't withstand an attack.

Xie Ran appeared in front of him suddenly. "I'll stop if you give up, even if I hope you don't give up until you die."

Tang Yueha looked at him hatefully and immediately launched an attack. Ignoring his severely injured leg, several energy blades appeared attacking Xie Ran crazily.

Xie Ran snorted, his movements were extremely fast and unpredictable. Each blade of energy was always broken by a single sword in his hand with lightning speed. In one blink of an eye, his form was already in front of Tang Yueha and kicked her face to slam away.

Xie Ran's kick was so powerful that it made Tang Yueha vomit blood. His jaw was injured and felt very sore. He's so mad!

Just as Tang Yueha was about to get up and attack again, someone's voice sounded making her stop.

"We admit defeat!" Xie Chen suddenly appeared in the arena and swept his brother away. He looked at Xie Ran hatefully for making them look embarrassed twice.

"I fought Tang Yueha, not you." Xie Ran was not satisfied.

"My cousin can't fight anymore, I represent him admit defeat." Xie Chen remained on the stance of ignoring Tang Yueha's disapproving gaze.

Xie Ran raised his eyebrows. "I don't like being represented." He really wanted to kill that damn woman!

Xie Chen stared at the referee trying to end the fight but the referee was silent. He looked at Xie Ran back. "If the fight continues, there will be death. This isn't a life-and-death fight."

"Academy had too many disciples so as not to mind a certain party dying within the arena. Do you understand?" Xie Ran felt his hands itching to hit them now.

"You!"

"Xie Chen, you broke the rules of the academy breaking through the arena without permission." Xie Ran confirmed then looked at the referee sharply. "Why are you quiet?"

The referee immediately regained his senses and persuaded Xie Chen. "Xie Chen, you have no right to interfere or will be disqualified from the sky rank. Intervening during a fight is a grave offense. For now, your glass coins will be cut by 50%. There will be no more consideration if it repeats the same mistake."

Xie Chen snorted at her and left from there after letting Tang Yueha stand up straight. She knew that Xiao Ran wanted to kill Tang Yueha just as much as when he wanted to kill her. He felt that Xiao Ran had a grudge against the Xie Clan so it targeted them. Unfortunately, he can't do much.

Seeing Xie Chen leave, Tang Yueha sighed. It seemed like he indeed had to give up for now moreover he had lost a lot of energy. The wound also deteriorated.

"I admit defeat."
