Chapter 824: Chapter 821: Mission Completed, Cultivation Level Breakthrough_1
"Xu Ran, do you think all these things I've been through happened because of this face?"
"If I were a little uglier, would these things not happen to me?"
Poseissi suddenly looked at Xu Ran, her beautiful eyes reddened. She couldn't help but indulge in wild thoughts that everything was because of her face.
In that instant, hearing Poseissi's self-reproaching words, Xu Ran felt heart-wrenching pain.
"This is not your fault. They are the ones at fault," Xu Ran held Poseissi tightly in his arms.
"But, I think it's because of this face. Tang Chen, Qian Dao Liu, they are all exceptional geniuses with astonishing talent. Tang Chen has high talent, and if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have stayed in Slaughter City for so many years..." Poseissi kept talking.
At this moment, it was as if she had opened the floodgates of her speech.
But all she did was blame herself.
"Stop talking, no matter what happened in the past. In the future, I will take good care of you," Xu Ran kissed Poseissi's red lips to stop her from continuing.
Feeling Xu Ran's warmth, the temperature, scent, and touch of the opposite sex, Poseissi struggled, hitting Xu Ran's back, trying to break free.
But how could a woman's strength compare to Xu Ran's?
If Xu Ran didn't want to let go, there was no way for Poseissi to free herself.
"Mmm,"
Poseissi whimpered, her face flushing red.
Gradually, she seemed to resign herself to her fate, closing her eyes and letting Xu Ran kiss her cheeks.
"Huff."
After a long while, the two separated, and Poseissi gasped for fresh air. If she had held her breath any longer, it would have stopped. Her cheeks were flushed, appearing irresistibly enticing in a way few men could resist.
Poseissi's beautiful eyes landed on Xu Ran. If it were before, she would have cursed Xu Ran for being shameless, but now she didn't know what to say.
Sometimes, the world is confusing.
Some people seem lascivious and shameless, yet they have a sincere heart.
And those who seem very serious may harbor evil hearts.
If she had to choose, she would rather be with the former.
Because their lascivious nature is evident, and what remains is all good. As for the latter, their depth can be frightening, and one can never be sure of their real intentions.
The Sea God, Tang San, are such people.
Their thoughts are deep, harboring souls like demons in their bodies.
"Xu Ran, did you come to Sea God's Island for me?" Poseissi gently pursed her lips.
Xu Ran stayed on Sea God's Island for her and fought fierce battles with the Sea God and Tang San.
Such a person, even if he is lecherous, what of it? He truly cares for her. That alone is enough.
"If I leave, you and Sea God's Island will face disaster, so I can't leave," Xu Ran said seriously. Naturally, he was not so altruistic to care about the life and death of others on Sea God's Island, but he had to say so in front of Poseissi.
A few pleasing words can earn an infinite amount of favor; why not do it?
"But are you sure?"
Poseissi's heart trembled. She was now completely disappointed in the Sea God and Tang San; their images had plummeted in her heart, while Xu Ran's importance in Poseissi's heart was even higher than Tang Chen's in the past.
Back then, Poseissi was just infatuated with Tang Chen at first sight.
As for Xu Ran, he was willing to put himself at risk to protect her. Faced with such a situation, Poseissi's heart wasn't made of iron, and naturally, she was moved.
"Not at all."
Xu Ran's expression was calm, shaking his head gently.
```
The certainty is one hundred percent!
But at this time, only a straight man would tell the truth.
Pretending to be weaker than you are is better; when your strength is so vastly outmatched by the enemy, it can shake a woman's heart all the more.
"Do you really have no confidence at all?" Poseissi's pretty face became deathly pale.
At this moment, she finally understood that all those she thought to be good people had premeditated plans. They weren't truly good to her.
And the one who had been truly good to her had always been by her side, the person she saw as the most despicable and shameless in the world.
Isn't that funny?
Indeed, it is funny!
That Poseissi ended up like this today was all her own fault. She failed to recognize people for who they truly were. Xu Ran was the only one who had been good to her; was she about to lose him now too?
"Xu Ran, you better run, don't worry about me. It's important for you to stay alive. Even if I die, I won't let them succeed. I would take my own life, only leaving them a corpse," Poseissi said frantically.
At this moment, she hated herself.
Why? Why did she have to bring ruin upon herself and others?
All who were good to her had been harmed by her actions.
"I won't go. If we have to die, then let's die together," Xu Ran said seriously. He lifted Poseissi's face, unable to help himself from wanting to kiss her again.
Now, he understood Poseissi's charm a bit more.
That faint enchantment itched at a person's heart.
"Is it worth it? I'm not worth you doing this. We haven't known each other for long," Poseissi said, her heart trembling even more after hearing Xu Ran's words.
Before, all the suffering she had experienced because of the Sea God seemed to vanish with Xu Ran's words.
Even though she knew of the Sea God's contemptibility.
But likewise, today she also knew that there was someone who had always been protecting her, unafraid of life and death.
"It's worth it. Some things can't be measured in terms of value. Besides, you are priceless in my heart," Xu Ran's gaze was filled with deep affection as he looked into Poseissi's eyes.
"Thank you. Xu Ran, if only I had met you sooner."
"It's a pity, it was at this time that I met you." Poseissi stroked Xu Ran's cheek, and at this moment, her affection completely spread throughout her body, unable to be suppressed any longer.
Her fondness for Xu Ran filled every organ and cell in her body.
She felt pain and reluctance.
Why did she have to meet Xu Ran only at this time? How wonderful would it have been if she had met him earlier?
Now, they were about to face danger. Even if they confessed their feelings, there wouldn't be much time left to be together.
"As long as there is love in the heart, it is never too late to meet, even if it's just a second before the end of life," Xu Ran said seriously.
"Xu Ran, I like you too."
Poseissi said earnestly, her water-blue eyes beautiful like aquamarine, full of gentle-affection, as she wrapped her long arms and legs around Xu Ran, sitting directly on his lap, and then leaned in to kiss him of her own accord.
"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' for successfully pursuing the Grand Priest of Sea God Island, Poseissi."
"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' for completing the mission, receiving a Two-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as a reward, with the attributes of extremely pure Light and Darkness."
"Ding. Congratulations to the 'Host' for breaking through to Titled Douluo."
In an instant, Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" skyrocketed as if on a rocket ride.
But Xu Ran was not concerned with "Cultivation"; with a beauty in his arms, he was undistracted and wanted only to immerse himself in this tender paradise.
