The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
53. Rumours

"Xiao Ran, you're great!"

"I know Tang Yueha is nothing!"

"Your sword technique is so cool!"

"We got a lot of glass coins today thanks to you."

"Hey, why are you quiet?"

"Xiao Ran, you're not exciting!"

"Let's party!"

"Eating free!"

"Xiao Ran buy!"

Brakkk

The four humans fell silent at once upon seeing Xie Ran shut the door loudly before their eyes. The three of them clearly did not know what had happened to Xie Ran let alone the newly awakened Zhong Xiaorong. He only heard that Xie Ran won a lot of glass coins as a result of the match.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhong Xiaorong looked at the three humans full of question marks.

While inside, Xie Ran rubbed his frustrated face and bit his lips. He had been holding back the emotional turmoil since earlier and was very anxious to be alone. He didn't want to hurt anyone for now because of his sudden murderous intent.

"Tang Yueha, I'll kill you!" Xie Ran groaned furiously and punched the wall until it cracked. His delicate hand became scuffed instantly. Not to mention the wounds on the enlarged hands. He did not even feel any pain in his body from the attack just now or the hand that was bleeding from holding the tip of the sword.

"You take my mother's, I'll kill you. Using your blood to comfort my mother." Xie Ran gritted his teeth. He was too angry when he saw Tang Yueha change using Wen Xi's strength.

The Night Lotus on Tang Yueha's body contained all of Wen Xi's mental strength. The mental strength that the night lotus swallowed could be used by someone who ate it and made that mental strength a personal strength. Although it was a personal force, its aura could still be felt.

The reason why Xie Ran was silent when attacked, he felt Wen Xi's existence that made his mind go awry. The shadow of how Wen Xi's absorbed mental strength was reflected made her fury peak.

The man whose mental strength was absorbed always felt endless suffering as if his soul was eroded slowly after another. Xie Ran was convinced, the reason why Wen Xi had not been out of the room since that day was because of this.

That technique was a forbidden technique that not just anyone could use. The night shadow lotus is very dangerous. If Xie Ran was not familiar with Wen Xi's energy, he would have thought that Tang Yueha had broken through just like everyone else's thought.

Who else could do it besides Tang Zhi? Tang Yueha should also have known about it so that she could control it easily after absorbing it without any side effects

Xie Ran was so angry that he wanted to destroy something. If angry, emotions are difficult to control and there must be an outlet of anger. Neither himself nor anyone else. But he no longer wanted to instinctively hurt others.

Xie Ran's head hurt again. If this was in the modern world, he had already taken a lot of headache medicine or sleeping pills to withstand the emotional turmoil in his unbearable body. But now, he did not have any medicine and could only endure it himself.

Xie Ran held onto his aching head and clenched his mouth so as not to shout. His irises found Qu Xuanzi appearing, he came back scared. He was afraid that his killing intent had appeared again and hurt him.

Xie Ran retreated away from Qu Xuanzi as if afraid of him, but Qu Xuanzi's movements more quickly pulled him into his arms.

"Xuanzi, stay away from me. I can't control it anymore...." Xie Ran clasped his fist and tried to push Qu Xuanzi away. But the man was stronger and tightened the embrace stronger.

"Be quiet, you can control it."

"I ... no...." Xie Ran was already very scared. Fortunately he did not hold a gun or .. he did not want to think about it anymore.

"You just need to calm your mind." Qu Xuanzi knew what happened to Xie Ran. Under these circumstances, if not to kill someone or receive a hard blow or pass out, Xie Ran would still go crazy. This was due to his past that had continuously killed endlessly since childhood until his soul became bloodthirsty. Especially when it is emotional.

Xie Ran closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind and heart. When it was going to calm down, the memory of Wen Xi's death again fluttered making her anger not subside and she again quivered again.

"Can't...." Xie Ran wanted to take off the man's embrace again but Qu Xuanzi kept her in his arms without giving any leeway.

"Stay like this."

Xie Ran was no longer pushing and silent despite his restless heart. He sipped the saliva thinking about what to do. "Xuanzi, hit me."

"No." He would never hit Xie Ran for any reason even if Xie Ran hit him or asked for it.

"If you don't hit me, I can't escape this situation. There's no way you're gonna keep holding me like this. You still have other things."

"Nothing."

Xie Ran felt increasingly agitated. Upset, angry, afraid, all negative emotions become one. He did not expect his condition to be this bad. He tried to stay conscious and not do anything stupid. If he continues, he'll go crazy!

Qu Xuanzi could no longer bear to see Xie Ran continue to be agitated and scared. His gaze was still full of anger and he could do stupid things in any way. He could destroy this place if he wanted to. After that, there is no other way.

"Don't be afraid. When you wake up, you will calm down again" Qu Xuanzi whispered in Xie Ran's ear. His hand rubbed Xie Ran's head and let out a faint beam.

As though drugged, Xie Ran closed his eyes quickly and fell asleep on the chest of Qu Xuanzi's field. There was no other way but to make him faint.

"Xiao Ran!" The door suddenly opened revealing Mei Liena and Zhong Xiaorong barging in without knocking on the door. Instantly his steps stopped abruptly as soon as he saw Qu Xuanzi who was staring at him flatly.

They gulped down the saliva, but when they saw the faint Xie Ran in Qu Xuanzi's arms, they started to panic thinking something bad had happened.

"Xiao—"

"Don't bother him!" Qu Xuanzi's cold voice pierced the two girls all the way to the bone. Suddenly the two fell silent and lowered their heads as if someone was pressing down on them.

"Good.good." Zhong Xiaorong took a sip of saliva and pulled Mei Liena out of the room. The man's temperament was frightening to the point of making them tense. Plus the view just now.... "I didn't see anything."

Zhong Xiaorong bowed with a forced smile and dragged the sculpting Mei Liena then closed the door. I don't know what Mei Liena is thinking right now.

After the two managed to break free from the cold aura, they sighed and relaxed their legs.

"Shouldn't we just go in?" In the end Mei Liena regained her senses from her musings.

"It's because of you!" Zhong Xiaorong wronged Mei Liena who invited her into Xie Ran's room. If only the girl hadn't persuaded him, he wouldn't have found something that shouldn't have been found. Ah, she also wouldn't think something bad happened to Xie Ran. Clearly Qu Xuanzi was there, where perhaps Xie Ran was injured.

"But earlier... We don't see anything strange other than Xiao Ran fainting, do we?" Mei Liena asked stupidly.

"Don't talk about it! Xiao Ran just fainted already weird." Zhong Xiaorong was already annoyed and left the girl who was struggling with her strange thoughts.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

A week after the match between Xie Ran and Tang Yueha, his other friends followed the top 10 of the academy in order to enter the tournament which will be held e Sunday again.

Xie Ran himself had obtained rare metal ores from the hunt for Pei Xi and Yan Yao who had just returned home. He was so happy that he locked himself up to make a weapon. The room is so isolated.

Lately they faced Xie Ran who had become cold for some reason. The Xie Ran they knew was always cheerful and innocent, only knowing about eating and dueling. I don't know what makes it hard to talk as much and nonsense as usual.

However when the metal ores came, Xie Ran's cheerful eyes returned, but the girl instantly isolated herself to make a spiritual weapon. Those who saw it could only hold questions.

After a few days, the announcement of the tournament's member elections was held. The disciples greeted him with passion especially for the sky rank disciples. They immediately flocked to the main hall of the academy to receive an extension about the upcoming three-week tournament.

Xie Ran also left after knowing about it from the crystal stone. He left his job for a while and left at the last moment of the announcement.

All six of his friends were already in the hall, instantly welcoming him with enthusiasm and longing from the two girls. During this time Xie Ran did not come out and continued to skip class without caring for the instructor who continued to protest at him. Fortunately Xie Ran was smart, so the instructor did not give him too heavy a punishment other than cutting glass coins.

That actually includes weight for Xie Ran, the money lover.

"The Dean would pit the top 20 ranked disciples against each other to form 7 members. Do you have a plan?" Zhou Kui asked Xie Ran. You could say, Xie Ran is the brain of their group who always think of various plans carefully and precisely.

"Do what you want to do." Xie Ran replied casually. His mood was good now that it managed to make one truly difficult spiritual weapon.

"What if I lose? We'll be pitted simultaneously in the arena. Anyone will be hurt and many will die." Mei Liena was worried. Even though he had already reached rank 10, he was still worried if he was hit hard by the disciples above him and let them down.

"Trust me." Yan Yao nodded.

Xir Ran only noticed, then his gaze was directed at the Dean who had descended from the podium. The old man he had seen before was indeed the Dean of the academy. Then look at the other two deans. One of them was a woman who was the dean of the pharmacist department. One of those two deans should be the accomplice of the seven demon lords.

After the 4 deans left, his gaze was directed at the man and woman in front of him who were the center of attention, Tang Yueha and Xie Chen.

Xie Ran narrowed his eyes. Tang Yueha looked fine after a long period of recuperating and had not performed in the arena since that punch. The wound was not faster like Xie Ran, but Xie Ran was much faster. If Qu Xuanzi did not insist on treating him, there would be scars on Xie Ran's face and hands at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Pei Xi asked then saw Tang Yueha and Xie Chen in the crowd being admired. He looked at Xie Ran who had a cold gaze couldn't help but wonder. Xie Ran had become cold ever since the fight with Tang Yueha.

Xie Ran turned his eyes. "It's nothing." He did not want to tell and did not want to bring it up. Given his condition at that time, he should be more able to control himself better and not care about anyone.

Xie Ran had already started talking to his friends casually although not much. It makes it better and covers up the problem perfectly. He'll be fine.

Tang Yueha found Xie Ran joking with her friends with a dark face. He lay in bed for days and only woke up now because of the girl, but the girl was fine. There was not even a scar on her face, it was even prettier. Tang Yueha grew even more annoyed to the point of squeezing her own skirt. He would not forget the humiliation of that day. Fortunately many supported him, he could be more calm if he wanted to attack Xiao Ran indirectly.

"Senior Tang, are you going to join the member selection competition? You're in the top 20 and ever been in the top 3, definitely won easily."

Tang Yueha smiled gently. "My condition is still recovering, unable to fight for the moment."

"This is because Xiao Ran was the one who wanted to kill Big Brother Yueha. On what basis did he hurt Brother Yueha that badly. If not for Big Brother Yueha breaking through and Xiao Ran using a sneak attack, Big Brother Yueha would still be in the top 3."

"Cai'er, rank doesn't matter. Don't be like that." Tang Yueha denied and frowned disapprovingly.

"Sister Yueha, you are too kind to defend her. He wants to kill you! Why defend someone who uses the rules of the arena to kill?" Lin Cai'er deliberately raised her voice until it was heard by Xie Ran's group.

But he did not know, it was entertainment for Xie Ran because he was called a killer. He hadn't heard that compliment in a long time.

Unlike his friends who are upset, but can not fight because Xie Ran does not allow. They could only hold it in their hearts and choose to ignore them.

"Oh yes, Xie Chen, I heard that your cousin Xie Ran has died. Is that true?" One of the disciples asked Xie Chen who had been silently observing Xie Ran.

Xie Chen simply nodded in response. That's what his mother said, he doesn't know for sure.

"Ah, what a pity. I hear she's as beautiful and smart as her mother."

"Yes, that's unfortunate."

"Senior Tang, are you close with Xie Ran?"

Tang Yueha just smiled. "Not really. He was too quiet and we rarely interacted." Clearly rarely interacted, the fool was exiled in a remote house and only met him when he wanted to die.

"Why are you asking that? All this time Senior Tang lived in the Tang Family in the North, where it was possible to see him every day."

"Xie Chen should be close to her, right?"

Xie Chen looked at him intensely and spoke lazily. "There's no point in talking about the dead."

"I feel pity," said a beautiful woman turning sky blue with an ice symbol engraving suddenly coming splitting the crowd. His charm amazed many disciples instantly. "Xie Ran had a bad thing a few years ago, losing her parents and some of the closest people to her because of the assault. I think there are some things that bother me. Xie Ran was also supposed to be the new Clan Leader, but as a child had to be represented by his stepmother. But it turns out that he died at a young age, which is unfortunate. He should have grown better than you."

Lin Cai'er saw Tang Yueha and Xie Chen's countenances turning sour. Despite not knowing what was really going on, he felt that the senior's words had offended them.

"Senior, you shouldn't make them sad. Big Brother Yueha and Big Brother Chen must have been very saddened by Xie Ran's departure. Better not bring it up." Lin Cai'er suppressed his emotions.

The woman raised her eyebrows. "Why not? I was very curious how Xie Ran could die that easily. Isn't the Xie Clan protecting him the most? Or maybe you Tang Family has sabotaged the Xie Clan and done something to Xie Ran who already has no support. After all, Tang Zhi was just a stepmother with no relationship with her."

"Senior, I don't know what you mean to say. The business of our clan, there is no need to bother thinking about it. Xie Ran's death was due to his own carelessness when opening the ancestral will and having a backlash for not being too strong. It has nothing to do with my mother." Xie Chen fought him with a sharp look. He felt that the woman was very much against him and knew many things.

The woman smiled sweetly. "I'm just guessing. Why so tense and explain? Wasn't his death kept secret from the public so as not to cause anxiety? About the attack a few years ago also a lot of obstructions, did my words touch something controversial?"

"Why did you corner them? Who are you to oppose the Xie Clan?" Lin Cai'er was fed up and was eager to slap the woman's mouth.

The woman kept smiling on her beautiful face. "Ann Rou's. I'm a new student of the academy, accidentally heard the news about the Xie Clan and I'm interested in evaluating it. It's good to talk to you guys." He waved his hands as white as his snow and went around in carefree steps. Ah, he's very happy to corner people.

While the group of Xie Ran who had been listening since just silently watched the beautiful woman. It was so beautiful plus her sweet smile that the men could not turn their gazes away. Beauty is just like Xie Ran.

"They're talking about me," muttered Xie Ran laughing in his heart. He was treated like a corpse. He was also delighted when the woman bravely opposed them and almost dismantled everything in public. Unfortunately people here are stupid.

"I think Xie Ran is just a coward! Just accepting the inheritance is dead. Brother Yueha, Brother Chen, don't mind what he says." Lin Cai'er added the seasoning by sneering at the dead Xie Ran.

Xie Chen snorted in annoyance. Then his gaze was directed at Xie Ran who looked to be holding back a laugh. Ah, she already looked a little smiling and covered her mouth in order not to laugh while her friends were busy paying attention to the striking Ann Rou. Xie Chen was astonished. Is anything funny?

On Ann Rou's side, just as she was about to exit the hall, her steps came to a halt after realizing something. He looked back where many of the men who had initially looked at him turned their attention in the other direction.

He frowned. "Is it just my feeling?" He clearly felt a very familiar aura just now, yet it simply disappeared. Never mind, not important.

Just now he had come as a student at the academy after hearing the announcement about the tournament. He wanted to remain in the academy to monitor the upcoming tournament because according to his hearing back then, some demons would come capturing pure Energy. Although Qu Xuanzi said not to take care of it, he had no job while the others were busy. So he took on his own duty.

Then saw the people of the Xie Clan say about Xie Ran. He remembered about the attack of the Xie Clan caused by a demon named Tang Zhi. He was interested and followed the progress of the story to corner them. Ah, she was very proud of the agility of her mouth.

What he expected now, was not to let Qu Xuanzi and his comrades know that he was here to seek solace with the demons. He just wants to have fun, okay.
