Chapter 735: Chapter 732 Don't be afraid, I will be stronger_1
"Young Master Xu Ran, you..." Ah Rou was somewhat shocked, her gaze fixed on the rapid healing ability before her. She had a premonition that even if she were severely injured, Xu Ran could make her recover quickly.
Xu Ran's origin was mysterious; he was definitely no ordinary person.
Although she prudently didn't ask about Xu Ran's background, she knew he was extraordinary.
An ordinary person could not possibly possess Xu Ran's demeanor.
"Actually, I came here specifically to find you," said Xu Ran. He decided to tell Ah Rou some things first. When Ah Rou's consciousness returned to her own body and woke up, she would understand everything.
Otherwise, it might feel as if he had come specifically to woo her.
However, once Ah Rou truly fell in love with him, she probably wouldn't mind these things.
"Looking for me?" Ah Rou was taken aback, looking at Xu Ran with some confusion. She had never met Xu Ran before, so why was he looking for her?
If she had met Xu Ran earlier, she would have fallen for him without any hesitation.
With Xu Ran's poise and noble appearance, no ordinary man could compare.
"I can't tell you the specifics just yet. You'll know in time," Xu Ran said.
"Oh," Ah Rou nodded slightly, not paying it much mind.
"Aren't you afraid that I might be a bad guy? If I were, wouldn't you be in a bad situation?" Xu Ran said with a chuckle, pinching Ah Rou's soft cheek. Girls are really so naive, dropping their guard completely once they meet someone they like. Perhaps this is the adorable and emotional side of them. People who are too rational might not suffer losses, but they also won't find happiness.
Fools have their own kind of luck.
Being overbearing can make others tired of you and only drive them away.
"I'm not afraid at all. You are a good person. You're nothing like those bad people out there," Ah Rou said, her beautiful eyes tender as water. Her sixth sense was very accurate; a man like Xu Ran couldn't possibly be a bad person.
And even if Xu Ran were a bad person, and wanted to take her Soul Ring and soul bone, she would agree.
To die at Xu Ran's hands would be her happiness.
"Silly girl," Xu Ran said, ruffling Ah Rou's hair, his heart involuntarily touched. He hadn't been interacting with Ah Rou for long, but she trusted him so much. This trust made Xu Ran even more fond of Ah Rou.
A woman with Ah Rou's personality was suitable to be a wife.
She could grace a hall and run a household.
Capable of handling affairs outside, as well as cooking at home.
"I'm not silly. Even if Young Master Xu Ran were a bad person, I would accept that. I'm willing to die by Young Master Xu Ran's hand," Ah Rou said, lifting her eyes to meet his, shining with fervent emotion.
Her heart trembled continuously; she had never spoken sweet nothings before, but she didn't want to lose Xu Ran.
She felt that Xu Ran was too outstanding, giving her an unattainable sense of haziness.
She was afraid that if she couldn't hold on to Xu Ran, one day he would leave her.
"Still calling me Young Master Xu Ran," he said.
"Brother Ran?" Ah Rou's heart fluttered with shyness. Saying these two words filled her with a sweet warmth. She felt she had closed another fraction of the distance between herself and Xu Ran.
"Yes. I'm here," Xu Ran said, holding Ah Rou and grasping her small hand.
Their feelings for each other heated up rapidly at this moment.
"Brother Ran, will you stay with me forever?" Ah Rou couldn't help asking. She felt somewhat dejected, sensing her request was somewhat excessive. As a girl, she should be following her husband's lead, yet here she was, making such a demand.
"If possible, I will," he replied.
Xu Ran thought of the body that the Life Goddess had refined for Ah Rou. It must have been through the Life Goddess's power that Ah Rou could Transform into a human. Strong ferocious beasts could Transform without having to start their "Cultivation Level" anew; they could use their "Cultivation Level" to take on a human form.
Only in battle would they unleash their beastly bodies to greatly enhance their own strength.
The group of ferocious beasts in the Aquipeia Forest core area could all do this.
Xu Ran estimated that normally, a soul beast would need more than one hundred and fifty thousand years of "Cultivation Level" to achieve this. Perhaps ferocious beasts with a strong bloodline could achieve this step earlier.
As a member of the Soft-boned Rabbit Clan, Ah Rou wasn't considered a strong species in the Aquipeia Forest. It was extremely rare for plant-eating soul beasts to grow into hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
"Ah Rou, being from the Soft-boned Rabbit Clan, it must have been difficult for you to overcome the heavenly tribulation," Xu Ran said, driven by curiosity. Bloodlines like that of the Azure Oxpython and Titan Ape were extremely strong. The Soft Bone Rabbit... was rather weak."
"When I was young, I had some fortunate encounters and ate a strange plant. After that, my strength progressed by leaps and bounds, and I even became a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Otherwise, with the strength of our Soft-boned Rabbit line, it would have been impossible to break free of the bloodline shackles and become a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are the privilege of strong races," Ah Rou explained while lying in Xu Ran's embrace.
"I see," Xu Ran finally understood. If the Sunset Great Forest had so many encounters, it was natural that the treasures of the Aquipeia Forest would not be scarce. Probably the treasure Ah Rou had consumed was similar to the Immortal Herbs in the Sunset Great Forest.
Xu Ran and Ah Rou slowly leaned on each other in the kitchen, taking a good while to prepare a breakfast.
For someone with Xu Ran's strength, there was no longer a need to rely on food to maintain the energy required by the body.
Nevertheless, Xu Ran still enjoyed eating proactively, striving to adhere to three meals a day. Life needed atmosphere.
Xu Ran and Ah Rou ate.
Suddenly, a strong and evil aura pressed down upon them.
The lighting in the wood house grew much dimmer.
A pungent smell of blood enveloped the room.
In the Aquipeia Forest, it was commonplace for soul beasts to slay each other. However, once they reached the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, they generally would not antagonize each other. The death of each hundred-thousand-year soul beast was a tremendous loss for the Aquipeia Forest.
However, Ah Rou was excluded by the ferocious beasts of the Aquipeia Forest.
Normally, if a hundred-thousand-year soul beast from the Aquipeia Forest was hunted down, those mighty soul beasts would band together. In the original story, Ah Rou, Xiaowu, and even the Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython would come together. Even if a powerhouse from the Martial Soul Hall came to hunt down Ah Rou, it would take some time. During this time, those soul beasts would be able to rush over.
Although the Red King and others had explained their actions after discovering his relationship with Xiaowu, it had not convinced Xu Ran. But pursuing these responsibilities was also meaningless, as everyone had their own positions and was doing what they thought was right.
"What's happening?" Xu Ran asked.
"In the Aquipeia Forest, many powerful beings dislike me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up my dwelling so far out," Ah Rou said. As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, although she couldn't get close to the core area, she could occupy a place in the inner regions.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Xu Ran said, holding Ah Rou's hand.
"But they are very strong," Ah Rou's gaze softened. Xu Ran's words made her heart melt. However, remembering the strength of those soul beasts, she became somewhat frantic.
"Don't worry, I will be stronger."
