"Dad~" Xiao Caihong ran towards Qu Xuanzi, instantly asking to be carried. His action left everyone shocked to the point of being speechless especially the Azure Dragon. Just this time he saw a child so brave in front of the Celestial Emperor.
Originally the Azure Dragon had intended to attract Xiao Caihong so as not to be harmed by Qu Xuanzi. But his prediction was wrong. Qu Xuanzi precisely lifted Xiao Caihong into his carriage making the Azure Dragon even more incredulous.
"Wicked woman! Stay away from my father!" Xiao Caihong warned as he pointed at them one by one. It might be good to eat them. Honey, his mother did not allow Xiao Caihong to eat people.
Li Ningzhi smiled wryly. "Young Master, your son is very handsome like you."
"Uncle Naga~" Xiao Caihong ignored Li Ningzhi and waved at the Azure Dragon.
It was enough to make the Azure Dragon even more incredulous that this little boy knew his identity. Is he really his master's son? How many things did he miss? What about Miss Xie?! The thought of him making his legs tremble could not imagine how they were fighting later.
There was Xiao Caihong there was definitely Xie Ran, Qu Xuanzi tried to search, his gaze halted on one of the large trees where a girl dressed in white was sitting watching and waving her hands. It seems that the girl really enjoyed the spectacle.
"Mother, come quickly! There's a bad woman trying to take Daddy!" Xiao Caihong shouted towards the tree after Qu Xuanzi whispered something.
It exactly made Xie Ran curse that one child so many times for having called him blatantly. He had to come.
The Azure Dragon was increasingly surprised to see the presence of Xie Ran who pretended not to know. Apparently this little boy is their son. Why doesn't he know? Why has he never seen her? In an instant, he felt relieved to realize that he had misunderstood.
Xie Ran reached the scene and immediately looked at Xiao Caihong flatly. Xiao Caihong pretended not to see.
"Miss Xie, where have you been?" The Azure Dragon was truly grateful now. He looked at Xie Ran like he was staring at his savior.
"Street around." Xie Ran spoke indifferently. What's there to do here? He came to watch, but who would have thought to play as well.
He looked at Li Ningzhi and the other two women. This person did not mean well from the start, unfortunately the Azure Dragon was too stupid to believe it. Then his gaze was directed at Qu Xuanzi.
"There's something important, we need to talk." Xie Ran was quite in a hurry now.
Qu Xuanzi nodded, they were about to leave, but Li Ningzhi immediately stopped them. "Miss, I saw your aura covered in something. What just got out of the Outback?"
Xie Ran looked at him full of demands. "How did you know?"
"The inland city is being hit by a plague, it will see traces of its aura when it comes out of it. Madam, you brought a child to that place, aren't you afraid?"
Xie Ran indifferently listened to him and sighed. "What's the deal with you? You think I'm infected?"
"It's not like that. It would be best if it cleansed itself first before spreading in this place. For the sake of mutual security, it would be nice to obey the rules. That's Shuiyang's rule." Li Ningzhi tried to make a good impression on everyone.
Xie Ran nodded in understanding. The guess is true, these people only know the place was hit by a plague, not poison. So he could only behave as if it was really a plague rather than being misunderstood.
In just one flick, he returned clean and the aura of the previously lost inland city was replaced by purity. Its aura was much cleaner and stronger compared to before. It made Li Ningzhi think that Xie Ran was no ordinary person.
"Have you?" ask Xie Ran.
"Madam, you are from the plague, but the aura is already in the city. Plus you brought a little boy there, there's no place to play around." Li Ling'er, Li Ningzhi's older brother commented boldly. She has not liked it since Xie Ran came as either her idol wife or an ordinary girl. Xie Ran was too pretty for them, it made them very upset.
Xie Ran's face turned cold instantly. "You taught me?"
"You should know your mistake. If your son has a plague, what can you do? You also have to finish it because of you."
Xie Ran tried to remain calm facing this fool. Relax, they're just blinded fools. It is not necessary to act outrageously.
"Then what does this have to do with you? If you're afraid, there's no need to come today or tomorrow."
"You!" He glared at Xie Ran, but Xie Ran's cold and sharp gaze made his fear appear suddenly until his body trembled and retreated behind his sister.
Seeing the deteriorating state, Li Ningzhi interceded. "Madam, my brother is careless and disrespectful, I apologize on his behalf."
"Don't look at me like that, I don't like your eyes." Xie Ran disliked Li Ningzhi's plain-ass double face. It was certainly not foolish that Li Ningzhi tried to use her foolish brother to provoke him and he became a kind mediator in order to attract Qu Xuanzi's attention.
"I'm sorry if Madam doesn't like Ningzhi." Li Ningzhi still maintained her face so as not to be humiliated.
Xie Ran snorted, there could be people who were more shameless here. He thought he was shameless enough.
"Miss, Second Miss's heart is soft as cotton, how could you say such a thing to her? You're dropping her pride." The servant by Li Ningzhi's side defended her employer and tried to make things difficult for Xie Ran.
"Don't be like that, after all, he's stronger than us." Li Ningzhi admitted Xie Ran was stronger than him. That was why he could not use such a frivolous manner like Li Ling'er.
"Miss, he's bullying you!"
"Sister, you don't get too good at him."
Li Ningzhi was increasingly made as compassionate as possible to attract attention. She is a famous girl in the city with the best raputation so many recognize her, even defend her. Seeing Xie Ran 'suppress him' made them angry.
Li Ningzhi secretly smiled triumphantly. He saw Xie Ran who remained calm becoming dissatisfied. Why is he so calm? In addition, Qu Xuanzi had absolutely no reaction whatsoever let alone care. He's getting unhappy.
He looks sad again. "Miss, I apologize once again on behalf of my people." He thought that Xie Ran was not supported by anyone. Even Qu Xuanzi just kept quiet and thought the man was already annoyed at Xie Ran's attitude. Even men prefer a kind and gentle woman like her.
Xie Ran did not care anymore and was about to leave, but suddenly Li Ling'er launched an attack on him until Xie Ran had to react faster.
He grabbed Li Ling'er's arm and twisted it in place until it broke. It does not even need to expend a lot of energy to break the soft bone that is like breaking a twig.
After hearing Li Ling'er yell out in pain from her broken hand, Xie Ran pushed her hard to crush Li Ningzhi and her servant. They fell in public.
"You started it." Xie Ran shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Aren't you missing out?" Their servant was angry while helping the two young ladies.
"I haven't even used a quarter of my strength yet, what could be called a delay?"
"You! Look at the condition of the second Miss and the first Miss. You offend the Li family, it won't be good for you. You'll be ruined!"
"Come, I haven't fought in a long time. My hands need some warm-up." To defeat Di Yushi.
"Miss, I didn't do anything wrong to you, why are you so evil?" Li Ningzhi had already shed tears. He was quite sore because his forehead was injured because it hit earlier.
Xie Ran just rolled his eyeballs before people finally came to defend Li Ningzhi who was kind and innocent in their eyes. They lodged a concurrent protest and blatantly supported the weak-looking Li Ningzhi.
"Ck, fools," he murmured. He was already annoyed with this situation. When he glanced in the direction where Qu Xuanzi was intending to ask for his support, the man had already disappeared out of nowhere. At that moment Xie Ran just remembered that Qu Xuanzi was still mad at him about yesterday.
Seeing Qu Xuanzi leaving suddenly made Li Ningzhi happy. He thought that Qu Xuanzi was fed up and did not care anymore. They'll be divorced sooner or later.
"Miss Xie, need some help?" The Azure Dragon offered help.
"no need. My mood is bad and I want to hit people." Xie Ran stretched his fingers until a rattling sound rang out. How many people challenged him?
"Miss, since you have broken First Miss Li's hand, then don't blame me for being rude to you." A man suddenly became a misfortune hero and instantly attacked. Xie Ran looked weak, moreover he had just received Li Ling'er's attack, it was certain that he was the one who won.
But what happened next left anyone stunned. A fist landed so fast onto the man's face that it flew for hundreds of meters. When they thought that the girl was being helped by someone else, they grew even more incredulous when they saw Xie Ran who stood alone quietly as if he was not the one doing it.
"He doesn't even have the qualifications of being at the earth rank Tianshang Academy." Xie Ran clucked in a sliced.
"Miss, you're too strong." Long Long Long was concerned about the umpteenth man who was sent flying.
"I haven't been able to defeat Qu Xuanzi, why is it called strong?" xie Ran said foolishly.
"Enn, that's a different thing." Long Long Long chose to give up.
Li Ningzhi's servant suddenly made an announcement. "Whoever can defeat this woman, then the Li family will support your family! This is the order of the First Miss!"
Everyone immediately rattled to hear the announcement. They immediately came to challenge and felt angry when they heard the servant's complaint about Xie Ran bullying their lady. They immediately challenged under the guise of justice.
"Madam, you've provoked the wrong person. Accept consequences!"
Second victim ....
"I admit you have the ability, but I wonder that the Li family can't be offended by a girl like you!"
"You're just an ordinary woman, what's so great? They're too weak—uggh."
Fourth victim ....
"Who else?" Xie Ran was still standing upright in his place quietly as if the four victims were not him doing it. Everyone was shocked to see him doubt.
Looking at the people in doubt, Li Ling'er immediately made a commotion again. "Why hesitate? She's just a woman, are you that weak? If it can't be individual, then group!"
"Right, we're attacking him in groups!"
"Uphase Miss Li's justice!"
Xie Ran wanted to laugh seeing these fools. He just stayed in place while the people were making groups and working together to beat him up.
Xie Ran did not need to waste much energy using magic. He just went off his feet and his gaze slowed down for a moment. His pace became so fast towards the attacking group that it sent them all flying together.
A total of 15 people flew through the air and landed with the sound of the ground clattering. It made more and more people hesitate and began to wonder who this woman really was. They were unable to see his cultivation level as if the girl could not cultivate at all. But it didn't seem like it was because it couldn't cultivate, but rather its cultivation level was much higher than theirs!
"Madam, may you know your cultivation level?" One of the people who did not fight tried to ask.
Xie Ran looked at him and smiled mysteriously. "What if I told you I was an advanced professional at 17, would you believe me?"
They were caught once again. Is the girl joking? Advanced professionals at 17 are just a dream! They obviously don't believe in that ridiculous thing.
"I know you don't believe, I don't insist. I'm just asking you please don't bother me." Xie Ran wondered, why do people always believe in lies but do not believe in the truth? Real dumb.
"Madam, we were blind before. Don't take it to heart." One of them directly persuaded.
"Yes, those fools have underestimated Madam. In the future, the Madam can stay quietly."
"You blind? He's just an ordinary man! Where there are advanced professionals in Unur 17 years!" Li Ling'er roared making the citizens dislike him and sneered at him. His reputation was destroyed instantly.
Xie Ran had no intention of continuing the dispute and focusing on his personal matters. "Then I go first." He still had not assuaged the anger of a certain master teacher!
"Now you're all dispersed!"
The Azure Dragon instantly confirmed by emphasizing its aura making the crowd disperse instantly. Of course except for those three poor ladies who lost their faces.
Li Ningzhi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The plan failed because of that guy!
"I'll repay you."
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"What am I supposed to do?" Xie Ran cornered miserably in the corner of the room. Previously he had met Qu Xuanzi, but the man had been cold to him. So he could only tell the problems that were happening in the interior of the city and leave in a doldrums. Really bad.
"Miss Xie, why are you there?" Ann Rou wondered what Xie Ran was doing in the corner of the room and cornered herself like a lonely child.
"Ann Rou ... Xuanzi won't listen to me ...."
Ann Rou sighed and walked over, pulled Xie Ran into a chair then sat down to exchange thoughts.
"Actually, I don't know what's going on with you guys. Since yesterday, His Majesty went out of the inn himself and messed up the orchid pavilion until it went bankrupt. We directly bring it to this place—which has been purchased—to calm down. What happened to you guys?" Ann Rou was curious.
"So you don't know yet" said Xie Ran sighing. He also tells the chronology at length accompanied by emotions. Naturally he did not tell how Qu Xuanzi 'punished' in the room. It would just embarrass him.
Ann Rou nodded in understanding and concluded that Qu Xuanzi was jealous. "Actually, Your Majesty is annoyed at you for flirting with another man, whereas you've never been that close to him."
"Near what?" Xie Ran did not understand. Aren't he and Qu Xuanzi very close? Why is it considered to have distance?
"You think once again about what you did at the brothel." Ann Rou was sure Xie Ran was just scraping through information, but it seemed that way that upset Qu Xuanzi.
"I did nothing but ask. They bribed me and massaged me, what's wrong? I didn't say anything strange or ambiguous either, I really didn't know where it was wrong." Xie Ran was honest. He was thinking all day about what was causing him to miss.
He thought, getting close to the other men and letting them touch him was too late because Qu Xuanzi had once said he would kill the man close to him. Qu Xuanzi not killing them already included refraining from causing trouble.
"Are you drunk in there?"
"No."
"Are you tempting them to get information?"
"That's .. why I feel you're interrogating me, not solving the problem." Xie Ran frowned.
Ann Rou scratched her non-itchy nape. "I want to know that there is a solution."
Xie Ran nodded in confidence and tried to remember. "It seems there was once ...."
Returning to his experience in the Orchid Pavilion, he had only eaten what the beautiful men had given him. He does nothing but ask and provoke them to answer the question honestly.
But he never drank, or he did not realize he had been drinking a little so he had to remember well the faint memory.
"You, the blue hanfu .. I think you're prettier than any other man. Beautiful women are also lost to you. Even the Di Yushi you call the best, is not your match." Xie Ran rubbed the man's face with a forced smile that looked extremely sweet.
"Young lady, is she the only one who looks good? How's me?"
"Of course you're pretty too. You're all handsome at once beautiful. I'm not lying." Xie Ran spoke calmly and smiled confidently.
"Ah, miss could have. I'm so embarrassed."
"Miss is the best! So dear."
"I love you the most."
"Miss, who's the most dear lady?"
"Of course you all are!" Xie Ran spoke in a high tone.
Recalling that made Xie Ran speechless once again and cursed countless times. No, it wasn't him. How could he be so shameless and good at seducing? "I was drunk at the time."
Ann Rou sighed and patted her forehead. "Have His Majesty been angry."
"It's just a matter of pretty and handsome men. What harm? Also ... I didn't really say it. I'm forced! About me loving them, it's a lie, I love myself more." Xie Ran.
"Miss Xie, if you say that to Her Majesty, her mood will not improve."
"Then how?"
"Make her forget your mistakes, and she'll be normal again, or even better than before."
"Use human language." Xie Ran did not understand this matter at all.
"Miss Xie, don't you not like it? Why do you want to persuade her and feel guilty? You also humiliated the girl." Ann Rou smiled ignorantly making Xie Ran flutter.
Xie Ran blinked his eyes. "That .. is just a spontaneous response. I don't like Li Ningzhi and those people. Dare to teach me what is right and wrong, they think I am stupid? I was saving my smeared face. Then, I persuaded Qu Xuanzi because he was my only support. If he keeps getting mad at me, I have no other support. My friends are too far from here. Anyway, I owe him."
"It doesn't need to be explained that much." Ann Rou was still loyal with her mischievous smile.
"You're all wrong." Xie Ran clucked bitterly. Why is Ann Rou always teasing her, not giving her a solution!
"You want a solution?" Dou Dou suddenly appeared together with Li Chen and the Azure Dragon. They had clearly heard the matter just now.
"What?" Xie Ran looked at them wondering.
The four of them put on a mysterious smile making Xie Ran even more curious. What exactly are they thinking?
