The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
69. Awards

The sun radiating a bright radiance filled Ye City. At a restaurant, seven humans gather for breakfast as the opening of the day before receiving important news and receiving tournament prizes.

They eat while talking about some things. Only Xie Ran who had been struggling with his mind about the various questions that already clearly had the answer.

Xie Ran was still thinking about that 'dream' last night that was so real. He cannot touch the spirit, but the spirit can touch it. Actually it was nothing to think about because it was a common thing considering the horror movies he watched where only ghosts could catch humans. But what he's thinking about the most now, was he really a dream last night?

This morning, all his wounds healed miraculously.  Even his friends were astonished by Xie Ran's healing speed which could suddenly jump around and not have a fever anymore. Xie Ran himself was astonished.

After a moment of remembrance, he had a strange dream and there was Qu Xuanzi there. But the dream felt real, he remembered it with certainty how Qu Xuanzi had kissed him one-sidedly until Xie Ran struck his translucent shadow.

Then because of his wound that almost caused tetanus, he decided to use a method of pure energy to regenerate it ....

"windows ... Xie Ran, your face is flushed. Are you having a fever again?" Mei Liena placed her hand against Xie Ran's forehead but her temperature was normal.

Xie Ran held his face red like a tomato. He wanted to cry because of shame. Therefore, he immediately ate quickly without fear of choking.

"What are you thinking?" Zhong Xiaorong was curious as to why Xie Ran's face turned red suddenly without anyone stimulating him.

"I ... dream 'ghost'." Xie Ran declared with a heavy heart. He thought it was weird. Ghost dreams but his face flushed?

"Can 'ghosts' make you blush?" Yan Yao grew even more curious as to what 'ghost' Xie Ran meant.

"I think ... maybe because 'his ghost' is handsome."

"What handsome? Is there one of us?" Liu Chang was excited and glanced at the three men by his side.

Xie Ran looked at them one by one. They simply could not compare to Qu Xuanzi until he immediately shook his head.

"I think ..I better not meet him for now. Not that I'm afraid of ghosts ... but ...." Xie Ran was agitated back. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

"Did he do anything indecent?" Zhou Kui asked.

Xie Ran shook his head quickly. "He .. is very narcissistic. Sometimes it has a cold and dangerous aura, but sometimes it irritates me. It seems like he used his magic to make my brain die and could not think of escaping. I feel ... want to be killed."

"Did you fight with him?" Zhong Xiaorong was curious.

Xie Ran shook his head. "Even if I fight, I'm not the opponent. I'm not sure if it's a dream or not."

"Someone infiltrated your room? Yan Yao, you're on guard duty, why let someone in?" Zhou Kui directly hit Yan Yao on the shoulder.

"I don't know ...." Yan Yao defended herself. He was asleep at the time, so he didn't know anything.

Xie Ran looked at them lazily. Even if Yan Yao was awake, she could not trace Qu Xuanzi's whereabouts. Even Xie Ran who had a sharp perception could not keep track of him.

"Do you know who that guy is?" Pei Xi asked.

Xie Ran looked at him stupidly. Of course he knew who that person was who entered his room without permission and kissed him as a 'lesson' to not get close to other men. Then saying that Xie Ran is his is a person who makes Xie Ran feel his brain has fallen into an idiot. Xie Ran just wanted to be his own!

"Of course I know, but he looks like an unachievable ghost." Xie Ran spoke without burden while chewing food. "I think he's watching me right now through a cctv that tells me all the details and details of my existence. I'm sure he knows my daily meal portions and knows what I'm talking about."

"You say 'ghost', won't it make him angry? Is he the Xie Clan's man." Mei Liena was a bit anxious thinking about the Xie Clan.

"Unfortunately no. I said, he's a 'groaning ghost'." Xie Ran emphasized his words. Qu Xuanzi's form last night was exactly like that of a ghost.

Then, someone came to give the news and spread the newspaper. The newspapers got to their desks while the person told the news briefly.

"important news! The Ye Family's residence burned down last night. There was nothing left but Ye Ming who lost his sanity and his crippled son. The cause of the fire is unknown. Many thought the culprit was a Devil, some said the Xie Clan did it because Ye Ming wanted to kill Miss Xie. But for the truth, the imperial overseer would examine it further. If not found in a month, then this case will be closed."

Everyone was back on edge with the news circulating and reading the newspapers filled with various news about Ye Ming being in the Devil's side, until his residence burned down without a remnant.

Xie Ran read it carefully. Then recall the last night thing where Qu Xuanzi left after a hot kiss that made her blush all day. The man simply said that something was unresolved. Xie Ran became suspicious.

While his friends were discussing and upset that Xie Ran was being accused of all sorts, Xie Ran thought about the cause of the Ye Family's destruction ignoring all the rumors.

"It is possible that the Ye Family has enemies who want to get rid of them especially after being in conflict with the Devil. Isn't that right, Xie Ran?" Zhong Xiaorong glanced at Xie Ran who had been silent since then while stroking his chin.

"What do you think?" Pei Xi asked. Why wasn't Xie Ran angry when accused?

Realizing her friends were paying attention, Xie Ran neutralized her thinking expression and sighed. It seems he already knows the answer. "It seems like it was her."

"Who?"

"I told you, that 'ghost' knows what's been happening to me all along. Even his most loyal subordinates were so afraid that they wanted to die. Even though there's no evidence, I know it's him." Xie Ran had known Qu Xuanzi a lot during this time and he knew that the man was very much feared. Regarding what Ann Rou had said earlier about Qu Xuanzi who would destroy the world in case something happened to Xie Ran, he was sure that this clean fire was his.

"You can still calm down when being stalked by such a horrible 'ghost?" Mei Liena was somewhat surprised to hear that.

"He's not gonna kill me. Maybe, he'll kill someone who's looking for trouble with me."

"'The ghost' is .. very attentive to you. Is he young?"

"Thousands of years. I don't know for sure, maybe 10,000 more years" replied Xie Ran.

They nodded in understanding. "It's old."

Xie Ran wanted to laugh at the muttering of those who thought Qu Xuanzi was old. Whereas when meeting the man, they thought Qu Xuanzi was about 20 years old like Zhong Guofeng. The visuals are very deceptive.

"Maybe he's your ancestral grandfather," Yan Yao exclaimed.

Here again!

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The prize-sharing event took place, showing a prize of 1,000,000 spiritual stones and 7 high-ranked spirit beast cores given to 1 winning team.

The Tianshang Academy got everything and instantly brought all those expensive gifts into their respective spatial clinches without the Academy's budget cuts since it belonged to the student. After the event, they returned to the horse carriage and traveled to Tianshang City while Ye City had held the selection of a new City Lord.

The journey took an entire month to get to Tianshang City. After going through dozens of breaks and trips, they arrived safely and were greeted by Academy students as well as Instructors.

The main team first received appreciation and festive cheers. They held a party consisting only of Tianshang Academy students within the Academy as well as awarding on behalf of the Academy plus a double prize of Xie Ran.

The news regarding Xiao Ran was that Xie Ran had quickly spread. They were surprised, but also amazed. Apparently the spoiled Xie Ran rumor was broken into a powerful Xie Ran and defeated someone with a demon seed while simultaneously revealing Ye Ming's rottenness. In an instant Xie Ran became the idol of many people.

The award show takes place so lively and willing to buy a match record stone to see the match when the tournament, especially the final match. Each match is always recorded in recorded stone and will be reproduced and sold at high prices. Depending on the quality of the recording and the length of the video.

At this time, Pei Xi, Zhou Kui, Yan Yao, Liu Chang, Mei Liena, Xie Ran, and Zhong Xiaorong received gifts from the 4 Dean of the Academy. The first gift from the Dean of the magic department, was a black lake jade. The dark black jade that came from the depths of the black river in the eastern star Forest that had many high-level animals.

Then the Dean of the forging department gave the polar pearl Sword the crystalization of the northern ice cave pearls and was forged by a legendary forging master. As for the Dean of the apothecary department, obtaining a red flower with a powerful and pure energy named the blood moon flower from the Yan Mountains in the south.

The seventh bowed in thanks. Those three rare objects would be of great help to the three of them matching those three artifacts.

When it was time for the gift from the Dean of the Academy, Xie Ran excitedly thought about how he got the gift devoted to him plus the Glass Pagoda. Previously, he would try to make a request to go to the Glass Pagoda. He hopes the prize this time is the same as last year so he can make a planned request.

Everyone is surprised. The Glass Pagoda was the main building that became the foundation of Tianshang Academy. There was a guard monster beneath him that could shake the sky and had made a ruckus some time ago. Moreover, no one knew what was inside so no one dared to think of going there if not wanting to die from breaking through.

But now that the Dean of the Academy had opened the door of the Glass Pagoda showed that the Dean of the Academy paid close attention to them. How special the seven disciples are in the eyes of the Dean!

While everyone was silent in surprise, Xie Ran smiled triumphantly in his heart. He did not need to ask, the dish was in sight. That exceeded his expectations.

"Thank you for the Dean's attention." The seven of them were certainly happy and bowed. When else can you see the famous monument that has been a symbol for hundreds of years?

Then the Dean of the Academy's gaze was directed at Xie Ran. His hand gave rise to a luminous object that was quite striking making everyone stunned. It was a crystal-clear pearl and had such powerful energy that some people felt pressured to see it.

"This is a special gift I give you in a life-and-death fight. These dragon tears have many benefits, from now on they are yours."

The pearl floated in the air towards Xie Ran. It stopped above Xie Ran without losing its glittering beautiful light. Xie Ran smiled with satisfaction at the glittering thing that was pampering his eyes.

"Thank you, Dean." Xie Ran kept the pearl with a carefree feeling. But when a reality flashed through his mind, the excitement gradually neutralized. Today was too smooth and kind, afraid that something was waiting ahead. It shouldn't be that easy and it doesn't always go his way.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

It was still late afternoon when the awards show was over. Xie Ran directly went outside to look for the wind alone. It did not matter if his friends were confused looking for him. He just wants to be alone now.

There was no one around until the surroundings were very quiet. He sat cross-legged on the green grass and processed the mutilated pure energy. He has always failed to increase his energy. The limitation of qi around was not suitable for him to increase so quickly that it was always a failure.

Xie Ran thought of going to an extreme place. A forbidden and dangerous place always had sufficient qi density for him to break through. The more danger a place was, the more concentrated the qi flowed due to the purity of the element. Usually the place is rarely stepped on by humans, only high-level animals or demonic animals occupy it. One more thing, the treasures in such a place were extremely abundant.

When he was in the middle of gathering qi, an aura caused his focus to be blocked and he opened his eyes. His perception said there was someone around him and had a dangerous aura. Is the academy's security thinning until there's an intruder? Or is someone deliberately targeting him?

Xie Ran stood up and sharpened his senses. One of his hands flashed a deep red beam before finally being swung causing a red beam to shoot through the bushes until it let out a bang.

Out came a black figure from the bushes just now due to the attack and he groaned sickly. The other figure appeared from the direction of the herd, he jumped straight towards Xie Ran with a knife in his hand.

Xie Ran dodged, wielding a sword and snatching it quickly. Xie Ran's sword managed to scratch the person's body, but the person did not collapse and instead continued to attack him.

Xie Ran realized one thing. Their blood is not red but black. While black-blooded creatures there was only one in this world. "Devil(?)"

Somehow the two of them could be here attacking him. He directly used his main magic through the seal towards them. The two demons managed to dodge meticulously then unleashed their magic to break Xie Ran's magic.

Xie Ran jumped dodging the counterattack. He moved around like lightning and launched his mental strength together. The two demons were like they were bound by chains and collapsed to the ground like tied animals.

He doesn't want to waste much time. He uses the nightmare back to make them die without having to dirty his hands. But something surprising happened again. The figure that became the greatest fear of demons reappeared which made Xie Ran even more confused.

"Xie Ran!"

His friends came quickly and were surprised to see two demons that were being hit by nightmares. Xie Ran's originally empty gaze returned again to stare at his friends.

"They—"

"Inbreather." Xie Ran interrupted immediately. He went away from the demon who was about to die a terrible death while his friends just followed and looked at the demon in horror.

"You did it?" Yan Yao asked. How terrifying Xie Ran was to kill those two demons alone.

Xie Ran did not reply, only scratching his head which was not itchy. His heavenly magic was already revealed, he had no other reason to lie. They should have expected it.

"A little while the lantern festival will open. We've been looking for you since to see the opening before it starts." Mei Liena invited Xie Ran.

"Xie Ran, there's no way you don't know, right?" Liu Chang thought Xie Ran should know. Which women do not like the lantern festival?

Xie Ran pensively for a moment. "I knew the lantern festival, but I didn't know it was today."

"Ah, you're too left out. Do you think you only eat and fight? Don't tell me you never came to any festival." Zhong Xiaorong guessed the origin.

Xie Ran did not answer Zhong Xiaorong's words were indeed a reality. Xie Ran had never been interested in anything that he had no connection with, so usually he just stayed at home between eating or practicing.

"I thought so." Zhong Xiaorong relaxed his shoulders.

"Don't look at me like I'm staring at a fool." Xie Ran clucked bitterly. Even though he had never been to the festival, he still knew everything inside. According to him, it was all boring, so he didn't want to come.

"This time you should come. In the square there is a release of lanterns tonight with their partner. You have to come!" Zhong Xiaorong.

Xie Ran scratched his nose. "I don't have a partner."

"You can go with me. There's no reason you're not coming." Pei Xi emphasized his words.

"Don't go with me, I'm too stupid! I'm a burden!"

"???"

Xie Ran's face was getting duller. The problem is he has to come out now because there is something he wants to know. It has to be how! "What really should be a pair?" Xie Ran was still trying to think.

"Not really." Liu Chang spoke lightly.

"Then you have six become three parts. I have no friends."

"But, it would be strange to take off the pendant with a fellow man or woman." Zhong Xiaorong could not imagine it.

"You think it's a valentine's show!" Xie Rah was already anxious with all of them.

"Valentine?"

Xie Ran groaned in annoyance to the point of wanting to scratch the wall. How could he be thrown in this ancient world! Although he has been here for many years, he still can not let go of the habit of talking using mixed language.

"Well I'll be honest, I have other business and have to go all night. I don't have time for the festival and will likely be back tomorrow morning at the pagoda." Xie Ran was barely resigned.

"Something happened?" Pei Xi asked.

"It's not a big deal, but I really need to solve it. If it is not resolved soon, it will be a big problem. I have to go now."

"What's really urgent?" Zhou Kui tried to persuade.

"Xie Ran, this is our last festival in the academy. We've considered graduating and will be gone." Mei Liena swung Xie Ran's arm pleading.

Xie Ran did not have the heart for them, but the time was not much either. Tomorrow is his big day also during the pagoda and must fight to the maximum. He has no free time.

"Have fun." Xie Ran smiled and took off Mei Liena's grasp while moving away. He really did not have the heart, but had no other choice.

"Be careful." Pei Xi reminded him and got a smile from Xie Ran.

He said to them all, "Other times we go on vacation together!" Afterwards, Xie Ran instantly disappeared from their sight so quickly.
