The Emperor God Wife Is Naughty
98. Enemies and Allies

Breaking the door sounded loud, widening the open door accompanied by a beautiful girl with a pale face and full of shock.

His eyes showed shock until his eyes wanted to come out. Seeing the figure of a much more beautiful girl playing a dangerous-looking red flower casually as if she was enjoying the intoxicating fragrance of a flower.

"I've been waiting for you." A voice that had a trace of indifference came out making the girl aware from her shock. Iris the beautiful girl looked towards the door at a glance before saying, "Close the door, the wall has ears."

The girl instantly closed the door behind him, slowly approaching with a deathly pale face. His steps were heavy, looking at the red flower with horror before it finally fell to the ground. His gaze was horror, his neck felt suffocated until his chest hurt accompanied by an unreasonable heartbeat.

"Xie Ran, how did you—"

"You shouldn't be so stupid as to barge in. If it was another day, you would have died." Xie Ran showed a grin, then placed the red flower in his hand onto the table before heading over to Tang Yueha who was sitting on the floor. He leaned over, pulling Tang Yueha's chin with his index finger to look at it. "You look bad."

"Have you counted them from the beginning?"

Xie Ran snorted. "Rather than counting, fishing. I'm not that smart to count everything that's going to happen, but I can draw someone to dig his own grave."

"This flower ...."

Xie Ran took the red flower, while standing up and researching it with great fascination. "This flower is very beautiful, very suitable for display. Can disguise the scent well, better than the fragrance I just bought. I think I'm having a little loss."

Tang Yueha looked at him calmly, as if all of that had nothing to do with him. He remained calm, sitting on the floor breathing properly trying to regulate the poison from the flower mist that entered his body before finally drinking something from the porcelain bottle on his sleeve. Without asking, he already knew that before Xie Ran had drunk the antidote.

Tang Yueha said, "Why did you tell me? You're not afraid I'm exposing it?"

Xie Ran chuckled. "Will anyone believe? Even if they believe it, you won't say it either."

"Why are you so confident?"

Xie Ran glanced at her, looking down to look at Tang Yueha closer. His aura gave Xie Ran goosebumps, especially a beautiful smile that resembled a demon. "From your eyes, you hate them, but you're afraid. You rushed in, thinking I was poisoned and trying to give me the antidote you kept. You're thinking of using me, but your little brain hasn't developed that far until it can use me."

Tang Yueha frowned. Xie Ran's words were all right, with no gaps. He could only laugh at his own stupidity. He should have known, Xie Ran was a demon who could even challenge all the demons in the underworld. That's why, he needs Xie Ran.

Xie Ran straightened his back then sat down, crossed his legs and supported his head with one hand. "You looked at me from the beginning, trying to figure out a way to communicate, right? Your curse before, it's a warning, isn't it?"

Tang Yueha nodded along with a wry smile. "Tang Zhi is gone, there's only that demon. Xie Ran, everything that was done before was not because of Tang Zhi, but because of the demons in disguise. It has nothing to do with Tang Zhi."

"You're defending a dead man, totally useless." Xie Ran replied lazily.

"I know, I want to clear his name ...." Tang Yueha was silent for a while having thought of something. "Do you know the existence of the devil?"

"Why do you think I'm here and talking to you? Otherwise, I've been kicking you since the beginning."

Xie Ran's circus words were not listened to, Tang Yueha only smiled bitterly. "Since you already know, then you should already know about Huai Mao. She killed Tang Zhi, forcing me to become her puppet. I wanted to gather my own strength by trying to become Empress Emperor Zhong, but all of that failed."

Xie Ran's smile suddenly rose along with one of the eyebrows. "Is it because of me? Some time ago, Emperor Zhong asked me to be his empress."

Tang Yueha was a bit surprised, she lowered her head for a while suppressing the frustration and throwing away any resentment. Since he had no one to be supportive of, then he could only give up on Xie Ran and put aside his hatred.

"Since you have come to the Tang Family, I'm sure your arrival is not without cause. You want to destroy it? I can help you. As long as I am freed from the restraints of the Tang Family and Huai Mao, then my life is yours." Tang Yueha had been considering it ever since seeing Xie Ran in the Tang Family.

Xie Ran was strong and smart, he had heard all his strength killing many demons out there through Huai Mao. He has decided without regret, harboring all forms of hatred and frustration. He would not even hesitate to end his life if that was what Xie Ran wanted.

Xie Ran looked at how pitiful Tang Yueha was. He also had hatred for Tang Yueha, but he still suppressed her well and gave her a little tolerance. So he won't refuse.

But Xie Ran wouldn't be that good on someone who was once his enemy. Moreover, Tang Yueha had harnessed her mother's spirit power to death ....

Remembering him made Xie Ran filled with total hatred.

Xie Ran sighed, suppressing all the anger in his heart and charging at Tang Yueha coldly. He would not be gentle with Tang Yueha, nor would he give up on using her. He would have no mercy, even though Tang Yueha was prostrating to him.

"Alright," said Xie Ran after long suppressing dislike. Then he continued, "On one condition, I want you to destroy your cultivation, as well as the spirit power you gained from the night lotus."

Tang Yueha was not surprised, but felt astonished that Xie Ran had not asked for her life. Even so, he nodded. Xie Ran had never been kind and would definitely never let go easily. Other than that one condition, there will definitely be something else.

"Tell me whatever you know" Xie Ran asked. This would be Tang Yueha's first assignment.

Tang Yueha explained the ins and outs of the Tang Family's condition. Basically, Tang Jin and Cheng Hua's relationship wasn't very hermonic. Tang Jin secretly had an affair with Mo Shenxi without Cheng Hua's knowledge. Tang Yueha found out about it when she went to the military camp, accidentally seeing Tang Jin and Mo Shenxi making out in Mo Shenxi's room.

Besides, Tang Jin and Tang Wei's relationship was never good. Tang Wei occupied a neutral position, having been a genius since long ago to match Tang Yueha's father, Tang Shen. But suddenly Tang Shen died coinciding with the arrival of Huai Mao who became Tang Zhi. Afterwards, Tang Jin took over, whereas Tang Wei had no interest in the position of Family Head and was secluded in the old residence.

Tang Yueha who had always been close to Tang Zhi had lost everything in a day. He joined Huai Mao, and was made a pet dog for a long time. While Tang Jin began to think of rebelling and establishing a new empire, Tang Yueha or Tang Yueying could not attract Emperor Zhong's attention.

Huai Mao had the ambition of taking over the entire mainland through the empire. He put Huli Dong'er as a spy in the empire, then continued his duties as an accomplice to the demon king.

After successfully entering the Xie Clan in a cunning manner, hypnotizing Xie Yun to love him, he gave birth to Xie Chen in an abnormal way. He created Xie Chen forcibly from his relationship with Xie Yun. Using demonic power to give Xie Chen form and give birth to him for 10 months, exactly a month after Xie Ran was born.

That was why Xie Chen had a curse on his body. His cultivation increased by leaps and bounds and was extremely strong beyond anyone, because basically Xie Chen was no longer a human. Merely, his demonic appearance had suppressed Huai Mao along with the curse on his body.

At that time Tang Yueha did not really understand because she was a child, but as time went on, she began to understand everything and felt that something was wrong. He began to secretly investigate all the past and discovered all those facts.

Before entering the Tang Family, Huai Mao sustained severe injuries from the war and fell asleep for a long time. He had an obsession with the Celestial Emperor, even while sleeping with Xie Yun back then, he hallucinated that he was the Celestial Emperor. Tang Yueha learned that when Huai Mao mistakenly said it blatantly because she was upset after killing Xie Yun.

Only, it only happened on the first day he slept with Xie Yun because after that Xie Yun returned to the Xie Clan and no longer met for 10 years. When 10 years old, Huai Mao came to bring Xie Chen in a hurry to seize the position of Xie Ran who was currently scintillating. Huai Mao instantly sabotaged everything and did something to Wen Xi who by then had learned of her identity.

Because the hypnotic effect would fade, and Xie Yun would hate him, especially at that time Xie Yun still clearly loved the dead Wen Xi and loved Xie Ran so much. Huai Mao diverted him to Mount Wu on the grounds of finding a cure to seduce Xie Ran then killed him there and made everything into an accident.

At that moment, the Tang Family army invaded the Xie Clan and washed it with blood. Huai Mao could not kill Xie Ran, despite being desperate to kill him. It was still a mystery, until finally he could only imprison Xie Ran in a dilapidated house for so many years.

But after so many years, Huai Mao felt the presence of the Celestial Emperor return after seizing the pendant belonging to Xie Ran. Although he did not know the reason, he still felt that everything came from the pendant making him restless and storing the pendant in the pagoda.

The pendant was a must-have for the Clan Chief and was previously on Xie Yun. But it had turned to Wen Xi, then it fell into Xie Ran's hands. According to Tang Yueha, the mysterious pendant was probably the reason Huai Mao did not kill Xie Ran. Although he did not know why, he always had such a premonition. Plus, when Xie Yun was in Border Town and met Huai Mao, he was still holding the pendant which made Huai Mao crazy.

The rest, Xie Ran had known everything and only Xie Ran knew. Hearing all of that, it made Xie Ran clench his fists until his palm let out a red liquid. His face grew colder and farther away, his gaze filled with an intense murderous glint.

All those plots, Huai Mao planned them for years. If only he hadn't met Qu Xuanzi and walked out of the Xie Clan, Huai Mao would have really settled things easily. It was not something Xie Ran had expected!

"Huai Mao ...." Xie Ran laughed suddenly. Laughter full of cruelty and sadness. He never expected, Huai Mao would be more disgusting than anything in the world! He had never seen someone more disgusting than Huai Mao!

Tang Yueha who saw Xie Ran laughed became goosebumps. The laughter was not the usual laughter, the terrible laughter. It was as if he was a demon who was laughing at his pitiful and humiliating pile of victims.

Spontaneous Tang Yueha stood up after feeling the ominous atmosphere coming out from Xie Ran. He knew Xie Ran would be furious, but never thought it would be that crazy. "Xie Ran, if there's anything, just tell me what to do. I have to go, afraid that someone might be suspicious."

Xie Ran stopped his laughter, looking at Tang Yueha with a wide smile that made the room temperature even colder. "Be like this doesn't happen."

Tang Yueha quickly nodded and left as soon as possible. He felt his hair linger in the same room as Xie Ran. After exiting the room, he heaved a sigh of relief as if regaining the oxygen that had originally been depleted.

While inside, Xie Ran who originally had a wide smile turned into an untouchable cold look. The murder was very clear. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down and bit his lips to resist the intense killing intent.

Looking out the window, his sharp gaze turned into sadness and loneliness. Although there were no tears, there was a lot of regret in his heart.

If what Tang Yueha said was true, the pendant was protecting her, then it should have protected Wen Xi as long as the pendant did not fall into her hands ... should Wen Xi have not experienced any misfortune and used as Tang Yueha's cultivation tool ... xie Yun should not have gone to Mount Wu either and he should have stopped Xie Yun .. but things were too late ....

It was because he was too weak!

Grasping the pendant hanging around his neck, Xie Ran lowered his head, enduring all forms of emotions that affected his calmness. He never thought things would be this complicated.

If only time could be played ....

If only ... he was here ....

Help him release all the negative emotions that fill the mind ....

Just when Xie Ran was guessing everything that he thought was almost impossible, he entered into a warm embrace that made his entire tensed body calmer.

Xie Ran was silent for a while. Seems to have a brain jam when he felt the familiar hug he missed.

It had been a few months ... Even though Xie Ran did not understand, he still felt comfort.

"Did someone bother you recently?"

That hoarse voice sounded in his ears. It was melodious and calm, without any coldness, there was only warmth.

Xie Ran felt much calmer now and was about to turn around, but the embrace held him back from remaining silent.

"Stay like this, I miss you."

Feeling a breath of breath coming down his right neck, Xie Ran felt a butterfly flying inside his stomach. Suddenly his mood changed, there was no killing intent or the like. It was as if a conversation with Tang Yueha had never happened. It was as if his knowledge of Huai Mao was lost. As if all the problems never existed.

"Didn't you miss me?" The hoarse voice asked, slightly sounding pitiful.

"I ...." Xie Ran tried to talk, but his neck seemed to be stuck so he could not say anything. He couldn't say that he missed her too much. Even if it's only a few months, it feels like a few years.

The figure that hugged him from behind, was none other than the newly arrived Qu Xuanzi. He took off a hug, turned Xie Ran to the front of him then tightened his arms around Xie Ran's slender waist. His gaze was affectionate.

Qu Xuanzi raised an eyebrow asking for an answer. Xie Ran was silent for a while to digest, he replied with a soft nod and lowered his head, "Maybe."

Xie Ran drew closer to Qu Xuanzi's body and hugged her slowly, though not tightly, as he felt awkward. "Can I hug?"

Qu Xuanzi naturally hugged her well tighter while smiling thinly. His embrace seemed to be melting Xie Ran into his bones, inhaling the natural and refreshing aroma of Xie Ran like mint leaves. He whispered, "Hug as you please, whenever you want."

For a while, Xie Ran was unwilling to let go. Although he said blatantly that he did not love Qu Xuanzi, but far from the bottom of his heart, he loved Qu Xuanzi. It's just, he doesn't understand. He only does things according to his wits, according to his will without any other impulse.

With just one warm hug, he took off all the heavy weight on the head. All of the killing intent and cold aura immediately melted away. Tonight became so peaceful with no problem lurking.

Qu Xuanzi passed through Dongzhou City earlier and discovered Xie Ran's presence. So she naturally encountered Xie Ran who was at the Tang Residence. Despite wondering why Xie Ran was in the Tang Residence, he would not ask and would not interfere in his affairs. All that mattered to him was Xie Ran's safety. As long as Xie Ran was safe, he would not interfere.

"You're going again?" Xie Ran remembered that Qu Xuanzi's affairs were not yet finished.

"M." Qu Xuanzi replied with a mutter. Looking at Xie Ran, he felt unwilling to leave no matter what. They had been separated for a long time, but their meeting was only a day. That's not enough!

Xie Ran took off a hug and looked at Qu Xuanzi's eyes which were only inches away from him. "Get out today?"

"Maybe tomorrow."

Xie Ran nodded in understanding lowered his gaze. "okay."

No other reaction from Xie Ran was beyond Qu Xuanzi's expectations. When Xie Ran was about to break away, Qu Xuanzi held him back and tightened the circle at the waist.

Xie Ran looked at her wondering.

"After taking the opportunity, you won't pay for it?"

Xie Ran widened his eyes. "Do I have to pay?" Just one hug, did he have to take out a gold coin? Or spiritual stone? Why does it feel .. like a certain man sells his body to be hugged and earn money.

If Qu Xuanzi knew what Xie Ran was thinking at the moment, he would somehow react.

"Nothing is free." Qu Xuanzi smiled, a smile that sucks.

Somehow Xie Ran felt this man was too cunning. Didn't you say hug him at will? Really thick-skinned.

When Xie Ran wanted to ask what the price was, Qu Xuanzi had already fused his lips together until Xie Ran was completely speechless feeling his brain was empty. Although it wasn't the first time, it was too unexpected! Are we not negotiating a price?

As the kiss deepened as if it was going to pierce through his bones, Xie Ran blinked his eyes and could not remain silent. His mind wanted to get away, hit the man and scold him, but his brain and actions were much different as if his body was unwilling to obey what the brain said.

Xie Ran was silent, closing his eyes, scratching every inch that sank into his mouth until he forgot how to breathe. Kiss apart to take a momentary breath and continue deeper and further until Xie Ran was completely empty without knowing how.

The embrace grew tighter, as if the two would fuse into one. One of those burly hands pressed Xie Ran's head until his feelings grew more intense. Drowning in his pleasant feelings that have long been hollow.

Time stopped, on a quiet night. A couple blends love in solitude without worry. Because the night felt so long.

Without anyone knowing, a pair of eyes from the darkness saw with a sinking look. Without saying anything, or any reaction, it just hid in the darkness and disappeared.
