"Steward Ode, help me detect my Soul Power," Tang Yuehua said, her heart holding some anticipation. Born in the Hao Tian Clan, if she were to claim not to be interested in cultivation and strength, that would be a lie.
Had she not been unable to cultivate, how could she have sought a different path, learning about rites and music?
"Alright," Steward Ode said with a suspicious look at Tang Yuehua, even if she was now able to cultivate, she would have to do it slowly to become stronger. It surely couldn't happen overnight.
However, the next moment, when he sensed the surging and powerful Soul Power within Tang Yuehua's body, he was startled.
The richness of the Soul Power was like that of a Genius Soul Master who had cultivated for a very long time. He found it hard to imagine that such a terrifying reserve of Soul Power could come from Tang Yuehua.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yuehua couldn't help but ask.
"The Pavilion Master's Soul Power is not less than mine, it's just not revealed because you haven't obtained a Soul Ring. If the Pavilion Master were to acquire a Soul Ring, you might break through directly to a Soul King or even a Soul Emperor," Steward Ode said, his face full of disbelief. Although it sounded like nonsense, it was true.
"How is that possible? I have just broken through level ten," Tang Yuehua also was shocked, not sure what to feel. The first thing that came to her mind upon receiving such strength was Xu Ran.
It was Xu Ran who had given her a new life; without him, she would still be an ordinary person.
Despite being the Principal of Yue Xuan and being respected on the surface, without great strength, she ultimately couldn't show her face. Furthermore, the so-called art of rites and music that she studied was viewed as ludicrous by true powerhouses.
After all, it is a world where the strongest is honored.
"Xu Ran, are you really the noble one in my fate?" Tang Yuehua murmured, her gaze wandering. There was a time when she had always been alone, let alone having someone in her heart. Now, having received such a huge favor from Xu Ran, how could her heart remain tranquil?
People are not plants; who can be completely heartless?
Especially when facing someone like Xu Ran, a peerless powerhouse, a rarity of the ages.
"Such a precious object must also be particularly valuable to Xu Ran," she thought.
"And yet he was willing to give it to me without asking for anything in return," Tang Yuehua didn't know the exact value of the medicinal draught Xu Ran had given her, but she had some idea of its worth.
Such a treasure, if put up for auction, would cause a sensation. Its value would be at least in the hundreds of millions of golden soul coins.
"Steward Ode, you may leave," Tang Yuehua waved her hand and looked at the Ruyi Circular Halo in her hand. She roughly knew why she could possess such concentrated Soul Power.
Previously, although she hadn't broken through to become a Soul Master, the Soul Power she had cultivated was infused into the Ruyi Circular Halo; on the day her Martial Soul awoke, the accumulated Soul Power from decades of cultivation began to nourish her.
"Does the Pavilion Master have someone she likes?"
"If so, face it bravely. The Pavilion Master is also at the age for marriage and childbearing," Steward Ode said. Having worked in Yue Xuan for many years, he too hoped that Tang Yuehua would find a good destiny.
A woman like Tang Yuehua, with extraordinary beauty, would be too unfair to lead a lonely life until old age.
"Steward Ode, you're overthinking it; there's no way that is the case with me," Tang Yuehua's face turned red, embarrassed that her thoughts had been read, but in her heart, she had made up her mind.
Her brother had already had children and was living a happy life, and she was of considerable age without having taken that step. She surely couldn't let the next generation have children while she remained alone.
"Xu Ran, will you be my fated prince?" Tang Yuehua murmured to herself in her room, gazing into the mirror and assessing her figure and appearance, twirling like a young girl, paying attention to every part of herself, fearing any flaw might provoke Xu Ran's distaste.
Before, she wasn't fixated on looks, but now, with someone worthy of her care in her heart, she had become that person.
Previously, she had only focused on her talents, but now even a mole on her body made her nervous. She wondered if she should remove it to become even more perfect.
Moreover, there were some parts she didn't know whether to shave, to appear neat and clean, like a pure and innocent maiden.
"Young Master Xu Ran, wait for me, I'm coming to find you now." Tang Yuehua changed into a light purple dress, elegant and noble, like a fairy in the night.
Especially with the moonlight shining on her, her temperament seemed even more pure and noble.
...
At this moment, night had fallen, and after several rounds, the noise gradually subsided.
"Xu Ran, stop teasing, can't we just talk nicely? You bully people as soon as you come back." Ning Rongrong said weakly, lying in Xu Ran's embrace, squinting as if it was a great effort to even open her eyes.
"Exactly, you have to dislocate our bones before you feel comfortable." Zhu Zhuqing also said, frowning her small, delicate nose. She usually didn't speak like this, but Xu Ran had gone too far, locking the three of them in the room again.
Utterly shameless!
"Stinky Xu Ran, you're so bad. If I were still a soul beast, I wouldn't be afraid of you." Xiaowu frowned, her voice weak but with a forced toughness.
She was regretting it now. If she had met Xu Ran earlier, maybe she wouldn't have chosen to start her cultivation anew. If she hadn't started over, she would be a hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit, and Xu Ran, no matter how strong, wouldn't have been her match, because of the incredible flexibility of the soft bone rabbit.
"What about soul beasts? Isn't Zi Ji a soul beast? You've experienced it yourself last time." Xu Ran said disdainfully. Even the Life Goddess wouldn't be his match here. He, Xu Ran had said so; if you don't agree, come and try.
Even though the Life Goddess governed Life and had unique advantages in this area, he, Xu Ran, wasn't a pushover either.
But speaking of it, that bastard Destruction God and the Life Goddess haven't had a child in so many years because Destruction and Life are opposites. When their energies meet, they conflict and might even explode.
Therefore, the Destruction God isn't up to par.
Only he, Xu Ran, could save...
"Sister Zi Ji is a dragon-class soul beast, and you suppress her. I'm a rabbit, so I'm not afraid of you." Xiaowu shrank her neck a little, somewhat afraid of Xu Ran, but still spoke with pride.
"Yo ho? Once I ascend to the Divine Realm and become God Master, I'll see to it that you turn into a rabbit." Xu Ran laughed, catching Xiaowu's scorpion braid in his hand, finding it quite amusing.
"What are you doing? Don't pull my hair, you meanie." Xiaowu was forced to get closer to Xu Ran and looked at him with a plaintive expression. What was up with Xu Ran today? He kept pulling her hair; was it really that amusing? Had he found some new fun thing?
"Thump thump thump."
Under the glow of the Moon Douluo, a stunningly beautiful figure stood outside the door.
In Tang Yuehua's hand was the homemade snack she had just made. Beneath her clear and elegant temperament, there was an added touch of softness and charm.
