"First, go absorb the soul bone," he said. "An innocent man is blameless, but possessing a gem brings trouble. It's not safe for you to carry it."
"Mhm," Bai Chenxiang nodded heavily, touched that Xu Ran asked her to refine and absorb the soul bone directly. Her eyes turned red with emotion—only someone like Xu Ran could be so indifferent to an attached soul bone.
Bai Chenxiang sat cross-legged on the ground, wiped the tears from her eyes with her hand, and began to calmly absorb the soul bone, a process that lasted until midnight.
Since Bai Chenxiang's cultivation level wasn't high, refining a high-grade external attached soul bone naturally took a long time.
When the stars were sparse in the bright moonlit night, Bai Chenxiang had yet to wake from the state of absorbing the soul bone.
Tang San stood at the entrance of the Min Clan, continuosly waiting at the door, eagerly anticipating Bai Chenxiang's return.
However, one hour, two hours... Time slowly passed, the surrounding lights dimmed down, everything quieted, and Bai Chenxiang had not returned.
This undoubtedly stimulated his jealousy and the pride of a man.
The cousin he secretly yearned for—what did she amount to in front of Xu Ran? Xu Ran easily took her body.
Although he didn't know why Bai Chenxiang hadn't returned so late, it was easy to guess what happened between a man and a woman alone at night. With Xu Ran's disposition, he would definitely not let Bai Chenxiang go.
By now, Bai Chenxiang might already have become Xu Ran's woman.
"Heh, and here I thought you were some pure and chaste maiden, but it turns out you're such an easy woman."
"Staying out all night, what are you doing with Xu Ran?"
A piercing pain assaulted Tang San's heart, as if countless knives were being plunged into it. At first, he thought it was only Xu Ran who was despicable and shameless but now, no matter how vile Xu Ran was, what use was a woman who would so casually sleep with others?
Bai Chenxiang, on the surface a pure and innocent girl, yet behind the scenes, she had done such a thing.
Heh, perhaps Bai Chenxiang was the type of woman who sought power and riches. Xu Ran had strong talent, and he would become a peerless genius in the future. For such a man, even being his nameless lover would be worth it!
"Heh."
"This world really is laughable. Bai Chenxiang is not even as good as Xiaowu," Tang San said coldly. At least Xiaowu was deceived by Xu Ran into being with him, but what about Bai Chenxiang? Even if she's such an easy woman, why bother pretending in front of him? Is he, Tang San, not worthy?
Intense anger and jealousy filled his chest, and his heart was rife with murderous intent.
"Xu Ran, you truly deserve to die. I will expose you and your partner in crime." The thought of his innocent and lovely ponytailed cousin being ravished in Xu Ran's arms left a bad taste in Tang San's mouth. She was his cousin, after all—what did she have to do with Xu Ran?
If not for Xu Ran, his cousin would have been his, would have become his woman, and then he could have experienced the joy of being a man.
His cousin's figure was delicate and lovely, her chest rising and falling softly, her buttocks round and petite, her legs straight, and she had a pair of beautiful ponytails. Such a maiden was top-notch anywhere and would rival any of the women by Xu Ran's side.
But now, because of Xu Ran's appearance, Bai Chenxiang had become Xu Ran's woman.
...
"Young Master, what are you doing here alone?" At this moment, Titan and Bai He came out of their room and looking at Tang San's terribly grim and dark expression, they couldn't help but feel a heaviness in their hearts.
Tang San was the son of Hao Tian Douluo, as well as their Young Master. Moreover, Tang San was very strong, his talent unparalleled, with Twin Martial Souls that could compare to Pope Bibi Dong of the Martial Soul Hall.

"My cousin... she..." Tang San's eyes turned even colder upon seeing the two men. He nearly forgot that he wasn't alone anymore; he was a man with power.
"What happened to Xiangxiang?" Bai He felt a surge of alarm, looking at Tang San with astonishment, his heart skipping a beat.
"My cousin was taken away by Xu Ran, so I've been waiting for her. Xu Ran is despicable and shameless, a notorious womanizer. I'm worried about what could happen to my cousin in his hands. Especially considering how beautiful she is, and now they are alone together at this hour, I fear..." Tang San said, his eyes filled with a bloody intent to kill.
This time, he would send Xu Ran straight to hell.
"What? Xu Ran dares to do such a thing?" Titan was instantly furious. He had long heard about Xu Ran's disrespect towards Young Master Tang San, and now that he learned Xu Ran had kidnapped Bai Chenxiang, his fury knew no bounds.
Bai He hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, but upon hearing that his precious granddaughter had been taken by a man in the middle of the night, he was beside himself with rage. It was late, and she hadn't returned yet. She had been kidnapped, and without a doubt, something untoward had happened.
"Then we must hurry and rescue Xiangxiang..." Bai He urged, his anxiety palpable.
At this moment, Tang San led the way to find Xu Ran. He had already found out where Xu Ran was staying, and now, with the help of two Soul Douluo level powerhouses like Titan and Bai He, he didn't believe Xu Ran could withstand them.
Titan's combat power was among the best even among Soul Douluos, just a notch below Titled Douluo. With such a powerhouse, he didn't believe Xu Ran could handle the situation.
Even if something had already happened between Bai Chenxiang and Xu Ran, it didn't matter. Bai Chenxiang was his cousin, and she could only be his woman.
If Xu Ran truly took an interest in Bai Chenxiang, that would be even better.
As Clan Leader of the Min Clan, Bai He recognizes him as Young Master. Then as her cousin and Young Master, seeking marriage with Bai Chenxiang was perfectly reasonable. What could Xu Ran possibly do to compete with him?
He was Bai Chenxiang's cousin and her Young Master. Her becoming his woman made perfect sense.
"Xu Ran, come out and face your death."
"Hurry, hand over my cousin. Otherwise, I'll step through your door and take your damn life."
Arriving beneath the building where Xu Ran resided, Tang San roared with fury.
He had initially wanted to go upstairs and kick the door down, but then he thought about Bai Chenxiang's current situation, she might even be... with Xu Ran at that moment. So begrudgingly, he decided to notify them from outside.
Thinking of his tender cousin being defiled by Xu Ran filled him with a desire to kill Xu Ran on the spot.
Damn Xu Ran, get out of the way, let him come! His cousin was supposed to be his woman from the start!
Damn Xu Ran, nothing good ever happens when he shows up. He had messed with his Xiaowu, and now he's set his sights on his cousin? Haha, Tang San would never let Xu Ran succeed.
At this time, Tang San was unaware of Lan'er's true identity and that his aunt was also being pursued by Xu Ran. Otherwise, he would have died of rage.
Damn, this is so shameless.
Meanwhile, Xu Ran yawned, projecting his spiritual power outwards to sense the commotion outside. There, Tang San was cursing at him like a fishwife, with Bai He eager to fight but restrained by Titan.
It was clear to see that all of them harbored a deep-seated hatred for Xu Ran.
[Midterm review and examinations are ongoing, approximately three days are left. After three days, there will be a burst of updates, I won't say much more, but there will truly be a burst of updates.]
