The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
8. Ancestral Pendant Xie

After several days of physical training with the help of the two cute Great Dragons, Xie Ran resumed his magic training. His magic training came to a halt due to being busy training his fighting skills. Sometimes he dueled with one of the Dragons to improve the fighting experience even though in the end he could not win from two Dragons.

For magic, he had mastered one more stage which was manipulation. However he could not break through again for the past year because the remaining two techniques were so difficult. Although Xie Ran had already understood, it was still difficult to apply it in real terms.

This enchantment magic is really powerful to do tricks on any creature. Even two Dragons can be exposed to enchantment magic even though the effect is not so great as humans. At least it shows that enchantment magic is so powerful and powerful especially if used secretly and combined with the speed and power of Xie Ran.

One would not realize that he was using enchantment magic for magic attacks. One would only know that Xie Ran's fighting ability was already like a knight. They would think that Xie Ran's magic ability was on his leg and his punch attack. But do not know that he used enchantment magic to confuse everyone.

Already a few minutes had passed, Xie Ran and Long Huo were still dueling with their respective strengths. He did not dare to duel with Long Yun because the Dragon was stronger than Long Huo. Fighting with Long Huo alone was already troublesome even though Long Huo had already suppressed his own strength so as not to overdo it.

Xie Ran dodged every fireball that emerged from Long Huo's mouth using the Shadow Steps he learned. Previously, a certain Great Master kindly gave him an incredible shadow step technique book. Instead, Xie Ran had to train on his own. That was why the girl decided to duel with Long Huo to test his new technique.

Long Huo's wings were fanning on his back causing a gust of wind to come placing emphasis on Xie Ran. Xie Ran had difficulty moving due to the wind from Long Huo's flickering wings and made his steps slow down a bit.

Xie Ran's shadow step technique had just entered the intermediate stage. He had yet to maximize the shadowy move to the stage of great success so it was difficult for him to accelerate the pace under Long Huo's pressure. His hand formed a magic pattern and floated in the air quickly towards Long Huo.

Long Huo's attack did not end. The dragon knew that Xie Ran would use enchantment magic for him and he should not let that happen. If that happened, he could lose by one unethical blow!

Long Huo flew higher and circled Xie Ran while spitting fire from his mouth. Xie Ran paid no heed to the fire targeting him, he jumped among the trees causing the trees to be scorched due to the flames targeting him. Xie Ran had no chance of casting magic upsetting him himself.

Xie Ran took out his double dagger preparing to jump towards Long Huo. His close-range attacks were always the strongest. If he used a throwing knife or corrosive magic on that Dragon, his strength was not at the maximum. Dragons have the strongest defensive physique among other races. It was almost impossible to hurt him using Xie Ran's current strength let alone in a long distance. If you want to hurt him, you have to go through a short distance.

His body floated in the air. Powered by magic that makes his movements become faster in the air. The magic in his hand was used to suppress each attack and push him closer and closer to Long Huo.

Long Huo was getting further away. Accelerating the flapping of the wings that made Xie Ran blown backwards through the shady trees. There were no signs of Xie Ran appearing. However, Long Huo remained vigilant as the girl was good at stealth attacks. He maintained his position in the sky while paying attention to the direction where Xie Ran fell.

A red silhouette suddenly flashed in one blink of an eye. Long Huo was late in action when the red silhouette arrived on his back so that a magic quickly lit up affecting his gaze.

Xie Ran on Long Huo's back had already expended a lot of energy for this combination magic of manipulation and mental control. The effect was indeed good, but the time range was not enough so Xie Ran's power was completely exhausted to extend the time.

Long Huo's flapped wings landed onto the green grass. The sound of footing was heard loudly accompanied by strong wind. Right after, the influence of magic was exhausted to coincide with the descent of Long Huo.

Xie Ran jumped down. His lips had blood coming out from using too much magic for the final attack. Moreover, before the battle did not stop and he continued to use his maximum power to dodge Long Huo's ferocious attacks. If it was in actual combat, Xie Ran had already died many times.

"Master, is it okay?" Long Huo looked at the girl worriedly. Looking at the blood coming out, it was obvious it was because of it and made him feel guilty.

Xie Ran wiped the blood in his mouth with his hands and smiled wryly. "My fault is too weak."

Xie Ran had never felt this weak. Even though he had gotten used to injuries and victories, it had at least never been this bad. This time the win is not counted. Long Huo had yet to exert all his strength whereas Xie Ran had already wanted to die. That's really sad.

"Shadow step technique and enchantment magic are not yet perfect. I need to finish it as soon as possible." Xie Ran said seriously. He still could not compare to Xie Chen and the others let alone Tang Zhi. If it fought them now, he would only be looking to die.

"Masters don't have to rush. The Great Lord is not forcing." Long Yun came towards them. Its Dragon form was so huge that it exceeded Long Huo that the ground it was treading on trembled slightly.

"No, I don't have much time. In addition to revenge, I also have to help her get out of the pendant. I have to do a lot of things after this. The power out there is far more terrifying, I'm just a bigger ant." Xie Ran knew more clearly about his strength. He has to recover faster and improve again. Even his strength in the past was still not enough for him to survive in this world.

The two Dragons could not deny. They also knew that but looking at Xie Ran's slightly weak condition, it was quite difficult.

Xie Ran returned to his ugly room. He stretched out his body and closed his eyes. But his eyes opened again when he heard the sound of footsteps from outside.

Is there anyone? Nights like this should be everyone's asleep. Moreover, the area of his room was so abandoned and no one approached if not to create trouble.

Xie Ran closed his eyes once again. He pretended to sleep so as not to make the person alert. Who knew it was a petty thief who did not know the place where the treasure was and strayed to an abandoned place where rumors of ghosts roamed. Xie Ran did not want to get involved.

A woman entered the room, seeing the sleeping girl so fast. His eyes narrowed when he felt something strange. Somehow he felt that the sleeping girl had a faint deep energy. As he remembered the girl he had poisoned long ago and could not gather energy within.

Tang Zhi came because she felt that Xie Ran was not becoming what he used to be. He was a foolish and idiot child who was losing his memory, but how could he have such a deep energy? Is he up to something?

He touched Xie Ran's wrist and checked her pulse. After a while, his expression grew even more complicated and fused his two eyebrows together.

Xie Ran's pulse was weak and his vitality was low like a comatose person. But he found no signs of poisoning, meaning the whole poison had been neutralized. Moreover, he also found his meridians to be quite smooth despite his diminished vitality. It's freaky. When did he detoxify the poison? Had he been just pretending to be stupid and starting to cultivate? Did the memory loss make him change?

Tang Zhi became serious when she saw the figure of the sleeping Xie Ran. Thinking of all the possibilities that Xie Ran was not an idiot, he started to get restless. He couldn't kill Xie Ran now, he could only defend it for now. As long as he locked her up and watched her well, Xie Ran would not have the chance to improve her abilities. With that in mind, he began to make a real plan of emphasis towards Xie Ran.

Tang Zhi had once identified the strength in Xie Ran's body. It had a very good foundation and was suitable for practicing magic at a young age. It could make Xie Ran a genius with great qualifications. His cultivation speed would also be incredible beyond that of other geniuses. Therefore he made the decision to give her poison since his arrival so that the little girl could not train anything.

Now the poison has been neutralized, somehow. It made him wary if at any time Xie Ran's memory came back and planned something big. His intelligence since childhood alone made him threatened plus his mental foundation surpassed ordinary people. What if it's big? Xie Ran was already like a dagger that would be deadly if sharpened.

He grabbed it and looked at it carefully. Something uninteresting has always been the most mysterious. All this time he had not noticed what Xie Ran was wearing until today he had just seen her back. After identifying what the item was, his eyebrows shot high and his gaze became sharp.

He glanced at Xie Ran intensely then decided to take the necklace. But who would have thought, the other hand grabbed the necklace holding it still hanging from the neck.

"Mrs ...." The awakened Xie Ran looked at Tang Zhi with a frightened look. He sat down with a trembling body and did not dare to look directly at Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi plucked it forcefully so that the necklace slipped off. Xie Ran was surprised to see it, his necklace had been forcibly removed and his gaze remained fixed on the pendant. Suddenly his brain was empty.

Tang Zhi felt satisfied after getting it and looked at Xie Ran intensely. "Where did you get it?"

Xie Ran was silent for a moment and said in a hoarse and trembling tone as if wanting to cry. "I don't know. I've had it since I woke up."

Tang Zhi snorted. He has no reason to make a memory loss person remember what he forgot. Although he doubted the memory-lost Xie Ran, he still could not force Xie Ran because it was only a temporary guess. "You know what this is?"

"Necklace." Xie Ran said innocently. Already knew it was a necklace, why did the demonic woman still ask!

"You sure this is a normal necklace?" Tang Zhi clucked. "This pendant belongs to the Ancestor of the Xie Clan. It should be held by the Clan Chief, do you not have any shame? Even Chen'er didn't dare to steal an item belonging to the Clan Ancestor, you know the proper punishment for that?"

"I'm not stealing ...." Xie Ran said hoarsely and poignantly. He even shed his tears.

"Maybe you stole it before memory loss, of course you don't know." Tang Zhi made a stealing excuse to suppress Xie Ran. He clearly knew it should be Xie Yun or Wen Xi who gave this pendant to their daughter as an heir without his knowledge. At first he thought this pendant had disappeared when Xie Yun died. But who would have thought it was in this little girl who never glanced at him.

"Miss, I don't know how it's on me. I thought it was Father and Mother's gift before I died, so I kept it well." Xie Ran said sadly and lowered his head deeply. Tears had already drenched his cheeks and his voice had become extremely heartbreaking.

Tang Zhi snorted at the explanation of the smelly boy. He said softly as if to calm her down.  "Then let me keep your parents' relics. If it was me, it wouldn't have gone. Xie Nu keeps bothering you, this precious necklace is not safe with you."

Xie Ran did not reply. He only silently lowered his head before finally nodding obediently. It made Tang Zhi smile triumphantly. "Don't cry anymore. You know I'm not that cruel, right?"

Xie Ran nodded slowly and looked at him carefully. His round eyes were still glazed. "Only the Madam is good to me. Xie Ran believed in the Madam."

Tang Zhi smiled with satisfaction. Behind it, showed a look full of disgust towards this girl who turned out to be still stupid. Based on Xie Ran's stubborn and arrogant original disposition, if he has any memories in his past or little power, the, he would not use that confession and would instead look at her with such hatred back then.

All along, Tang Zhi had indeed made her reputation in Xie Ran's eyes as a good Mother. He did not want the memory-lost Xie Ran to suddenly return to his former nature and often fight back. That would be very troublesome. Moreover, all the current holdings were in Xie Ran's name. He could not rashly hate her as blatantly as Xie Nu did. Especially considering that Xie Ran had a deep energy that could be trained.

"For now, stay. Don't comeout. It's too dangerous out there. You don't want Xie Nu to bother you anymore, do you? I would also tell the waiter not to bother. So stay here."

After saying so, Tang Zhi came out carrying the pendant in her hand with a serious face. He had a bad feeling about the pendant having this powerful energy, he could not let it exist on Xie Ran.

Indirectly, he used the punishment of confinement on Xie Ran. He made magic runes on the door thus creating a dense purple ray surrounding Xie Ran's dilapidated room. The purple light became faint and disappeared.

Inside the room, Xie Ran's gaze still looked sad and fragile staring at the departure of Tang Zhi who was getting away from the open door. Slowly his gaze gradually formed a sharp glint and was full of deep hatred. It was in stark contrast to the previous expression.

Tang Zhi looked at the pendant with full probing. He took it to a place that was none other than his room. Close all doors and begin to investigate carefully.

A purple light shot out from his finger surrounding the white pendant. He checked what magic was contained within the pendant.

He felt a strong energy, but could not identify it. Almost resigned, then he used his strong mental awareness to see what was inside the pendant.

In the dark sky within the pendant world, a dark purple ray appeared in the sky blocking the beautiful view of the clouds and stars. A certain master teacher looked at him with a cold expression, colder than before. The fluttering wind made his black hair sway as long as the mist appeared to resemble a human.

The man certainly did not receive any uninvited guests except for the two Dragon Guards and the little girl who acted abnormally every day. His sight grew colder making the scenery that was originally a beautiful island like heaven become barren in one blink of an eye accompanied by a great murderous aura.

The cold air was so piercing that it made Tang Zhi herself feel danger coming. Such a powerful aura made him not dare to go any further and restore his mental awareness to the real world. He had not seen anything yet but had displayed an incredible absolute strength that left him depressed half to death.

This locket is unusual! It was the right decision to bring the dangerous pendant to his side rather than being on that unsettling girl. If that power was on that unlucky girl, she would die quickly. Moreover, he suspected that the girl had the ability to remember her magic qualifications so potentially surpassing any other genius he had ever seen.

Tang Zhi went from her room to the clan pagoda building. There stored many valuable items including the ancestral artifacts of the most targeted clans of the world. The security is very secure. Even someone with an emperor level cultivation could not enter it easily without the access of a special magic stone let alone destroy it.

He placed the pendant in the middle of one of the uppermost rooms. The room only had some of the most valuable items in the clan. He placed it down carefully and sealed it with a magic spell so that anyone would not easily pick it up. A translucent beam surrounded the pendant that floated in the air right on the table. It looks striking because it is in the middle of the room because it is too overwhelming. There may be only one in this world.

Although the security of the pagoda was guaranteed and it had many traps for the intruders, he still had to protect it with magic in order to be calm. All property is treated equally. The more valuable the treasure, the stronger the protector. Moreover, the topmost floor of the pagoda had powerful magic and would kill any intruder of any level.

The success rate of a particular intruder is 1%.

Without him noticing, a small lizard flew through the pagoda with its red wings rapidly flapping in the air.
