Chapter 230: Chapter 228: Xu Ran's Unwavering Loyalty (1)
"Hmm?" Gu Yuena felt an unusual sensation as she realized she was lying on two soft pillows below her abdomen, and she couldn't help but look towards her own body.
Because of the pillows, the curves of her figure were accentuated to an extent that even she was left speechless.
She was Gu Yuena after all, with an already enchanting figure, but now it was even more...
Especially the pertness, which made her blush and feel embarrassed.
Though she was the Silver Dragon King and had seen grand events of the world, she had never been manipulated like this before.
However, the one in front of her was an Auspicious Beast healing her, and though he wouldn't be moved by this, it still seemed too coquettish.
"Nana, what's wrong?" Xu Ran asked, lifting his head, his eyes filled with clarity and even a naive innocence. Those clear eyes blinked, as if at that moment he was purely focused on healing Gu Yuena.
Such a demeanor, unless it was Xiaowu or Zhu Qing, who knew Xu Ran extremely well, would likely have anyone believing him on the spot, even secretly admiring him for being such a gentleman!
"It's nothing." Gu Yuena responded, seeing the purity in Xu Ran's gaze without a trace of stray thoughts, she found it somewhat unbelievable. Her intention had been to fluster Xu Ran and from that, find a flaw to deduce the laws.
But now it seemed, Xu Ran's Dao heart might be extraordinarily strong.
Judging by the clarity in Xu Ran's eyes, not to mention her current state, even if she were stark naked, Xu Ran wouldn't be moved in the slightest.
Because from the moment he was born, Xu Ran was branded by the "World Consciousness" to serve her, Gu Yuena, assisting her and helping the Soul Beast Clan rise. This branding was deeply ingrained, etched into Xu Ran's heart.
It was for this reason, no matter how debauched Xu Ran might be outside, he would not harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward her, Gu Yuena.
"By the way, your human body seems even stranger than your soul beast original body," Gu Yuena, lying in bed, seemingly thought of something and curiously asked.
"Hmm, when I was born, there was a secret technique in my mind that allowed me to have a human body. Since this body was also nurtured by heaven and earth, it's extremely mysterious, and even I can't fully comprehend it all," Xu Ran said while massaging Gu Yuena's back, his gaze drifting as he stared at her perfect figure, involuntarily swallowing his saliva.
Gu Yuena was wearing black lingerie today, tied with a black ribbon into a bow knot. It was hard not to let one's imagination roam.
It's like shoelaces, one tug, and they come undone.
That feeling stirred Xu Ran even more.
If Xu Ran were obsessive-compulsive, he might not be able to resist pulling those two ribbons apart.
Gu Yuena was not human and did not think about these issues from Xu Ran's perspective; naturally, she was unaware of the great temptation her pose could exert on a normal man.
"Just as I thought. With your cultivation talent, you are an unparalleled existence in the human world. Without any accidents, you are bound to inherit the godhood," Gu Yuena continued, unaware of Xu Ran's disturbance.
In her eyes,
Xu Ran was still an Auspicious Beast, and in terms of the level of life, he was on the same plane as she was.
In the past, an Auspicious Beast, as a creature nurtured by heaven and earth, would also perish due to fate. An Auspicious Beast did not need to face Tribulation, but there had never been one that lived past a hundred thousand years. The tribulations of Auspicious Beasts were unlike those of regular soul beasts. Though they did not have to confront the once every hundred thousand years heavenly Tribulation, their tribulations were even more unfathomable.
But now Xu Ran was the darling designated by the "Heaven and Earth Consciousness", and perhaps wouldn't encounter any tribulations and could become a god effortlessly.
The Human God and the Soul Beast God coexist!
At that time, Xu Ran had only inherited the godhood of a First-Level God, yet his strength was no less than any Divine King's. Should he inherit the legacy of the Asura God from Slaughter City, he might become even stronger.
Back then, Xu Ran's strength might not have been any less than that of the Dragon God.
Gu Yuena's thoughts raced, and suddenly, she realized she might have grossly underestimated Xu Ran. Given his unique constitution, singled out by that phenomenally mystical "Heaven and Earth Consciousness," how could he be comparable to anyone else?
Even, in the future, Xu Ran's strength might not be weaker than hers.
She wanted to reclaim the Golden Dragon King's Power and once again become the Dragon God, but she would have to rely on Xu Ran.
"Nana, no matter when, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the affairs of the Soul Beast Clan. My life shall be devoted to the liberation cause of the Soul Beast Clan. We, the Soul Beast Clan, are oppressed by humans, and only if Nana and I join hands, with Nana leading and me supporting from behind, will we have the chance to overturn the Divine Realm ruled by the Human Gods and reestablish an order that belongs to our Soul Beast Clan," Xu Ran said, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
His body straightened, and he seemed to exude a strong and steadfast conviction—the conviction to lead the Soul Beast Clan to the peak and then marry the rich and beautiful Gu Yuena.
"Well said. This world should indeed be ruled by us," Gu Yuena giggled, looking at Xu Ran's face with increasing satisfaction. However, as her delicate body trembled, the alluring sway of her form was extremely tempting.
How could anyone concentrate on giving a proper back rub under these circumstances?!!!
"What Nana said is right, the Human Gods are all despicable and shameless beings, only our Soul Beasts can guide the trend of the entire world," Xu Ran said firmly and righteously.
At this moment, he seemed to have become Gu Yuena's assistant.
With Gu Yuena in the lead and him following, his hand rested on Gu Yuena's shoulder, occasionally giving her a push.
That's all he had to do.
He simply wanted to assist Gu Yuena in becoming the Lord of Soul Beasts, help her lead the Soul Beast Clan to the pinnacle of the world, and that was it.
He did not intend to upstage and take over Gu Yuena's position as the ruler of the Soul Beasts.
What he wanted was to be the ruler of Heaven and Earth, the Human Goddess, Gu Yuena to submit to him... pah, he must keep these thoughts in check, not letting Gu Yuena notice them.
"With Ran Di's support, we will one day conquer the Divine Realm," said Gu Yuena softly, her way of addressing him also changed. This signaled a change in Gu Yuena's attitude toward Xu Ran, truly seeing him as her confidant.
Just now, she wanted to test Xu Ran to see how he would respond. If Xu Ran became a god, would he betray her and seize her position?
But now it seems she was wrong.
Just now, Xu Ran had said it—she would lead, and he would follow. This was him expressing his loyalty.
He would always stand behind her to support her. If her strength ever faltered, he would be there to support her.
When Xu Ran said those words, his face did not betray any emotion, his gaze was firm, his body straight—there was definitely no deceit.
She could tell that Xu Ran truly only wanted to assist her from behind, which extinguished her intention of leaving some ill-intentioned measures on him.
She was the Silver Dragon King, so how could she disappoint such a loyal and devoted subordinate?
