These days, Xu Ran had taught all the Xu Clan's Ultimate Techniques to Rongrong and the rest, and guided them in their cultivation.
Especially for Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, he now resolved to properly cultivate them.
The effectiveness of a support-class Soul Master depended on the strength of the person they were supporting. For Xu Ran, their role was indispensable.
Within the unique kitchen of the Xu Sect, the women returned from training, drenched in fragrant sweat, but sat directly at the table, waiting for Huo Wu to serve the food.
Huo Wu's cooking skills weren't good originally, but she feared Xu Ran might expel her from the Xu Sect, so she secretly learned many recipes and the food she cooked was not lacking in taste.
Huo Wu wore a fiery red dress with a white embroidered apron around her waist, her charming face covered with large beads of sweat. Such a delicate and beautiful girl, ordinary people wouldn't even bear to have her do such tasks. But now, Huo Wu had become the cook in the Xu Sect.
However, even if Xu Ran were to send Huo Wu away now, she would absolutely not leave.
The ingredients Xu Ran provided for Huo Wu were all Soul Beast Meat from beasts over ten thousand years old, and a lot of meat from the Skydream Ice Silkworms, which were very nourishing. Most importantly, cooking these ingredients required absolute control over the Fire element, and it was greatly beneficial for one's "Cultivation Level" as well.
Being able to improve her cooking skills, consume excellent tonics, and refine her "Cultivation Level", this was definitely not a grueling task.
Originally, Huo Wu was reluctant, but when she noticed that her "Cultivation Level" improved four to five times faster than before, she no longer felt the same.
"Stinky Xu Ran, you obviously want to help me, yet you're so fierce to me." Huo Wu pouted and no longer complained to Xu Ran; instead, she felt grateful. In her heart, a tinge of romantic feelings began to emerge.
Ever since she secretly watched Xu Ran for a night, she couldn't calm her heart.
After all, seeing something so big, who wouldn't be confused?
If she didn't feel anything, she wouldn't have spied the whole night from the corner of the wall.
That was the first time in her life she encountered such a thing, and naturally, it affected her.
Moreover, in her heart, she had already stripped for Xu Ran, so she naturally had an infinite fondness for him.
"Not bad, Huo Wu, your cooking skills are getting better." Ning Rongrong giggled, pulling Huo Wu to sit beside her, not treating her as an outsider at all. Everyone seated at the table knew that eventually, Huo Wu would definitely become one of them.
If you're not family, you won't enter the household.
Having entered the household, what's to say about Huo Wu, the little sheep? Any day now, she might get gobbled up by Xu Ran, the scoundrel.
"It's okay, I've learned a few new dishes recently, I'll make them for you all to try later," Huo Wu said with a smile, her petulant demeanor completely tucked away.
After spending a few days together, she also realized that what Xu Ran said before wasn't deceiving her. Zhu Zhuqing, Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling – their talents were all exceptionally strong.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling she knew before and she became familiar with the others during these days, so she was naturally aware of their strengths.
But she also knew that their strength was all thanks to Xu Ran's efforts. As long as she followed Xu Ran's wishes well, Xu Ran would certainly not let her fall behind too much, would he?
"Xu Ran really is, letting Huo Wu do such rough work in the Xu Sect, not knowing how to cherish a jade," Xiaowu said kindly, glancing at Huo Wu, feeling a bit aggrieved in her heart – why was everyone else's bigger than hers! If it weren't for her longer legs and better looks, she really wouldn't have the face to sit at this table, it was too demoralizing.
"Right, what will we do if Huo Wu gets worn out? Huo Wu is so beautiful, and her figure is really tempting, Xu Ran would be heartbroken if she were exhausted, wouldn't he?" Dugu Yan also teased.
"But even with a good figure, it's not as good as Zhu Qing's." Everyone turned their gaze toward Zhu Qing, whose waist was impossibly slender, and yet her hips and breasts were outrageously voluptuous, drawing awe. Such an extraordinary figure left everyone impressed, no doubt about that.
"What are you all looking at me for?" Zhu Qing's face flushed, and as she bowed her head, she could only see her own chest, the rest was out of sight. Having a good figure sure can be troublesome, huh?
As the group chatted, the conversation slowly skewed, each comparing their figures and sharing their opinions until after a while, they all turned to Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, how far have you and Xu Ran progressed?" Ning Rongrong looked towards Huo Wu, who was feeling good after being treated by Xu Ran for swelling and itching the day before. She cared deeply for her close friend Ye Lingling. As fellow support-class Soul Masters, they had also been training together recently.
"Master and I, we still..." Ye Lingling, feeling the gaze of everyone on her, had her heart pounding chaotically and felt somewhat embarrassed. Nothing had happened between her and Xu Ran yet, and she was too shy to approach him.
"What's all this 'Master' talk? Just go find him already. Since you're Xu Ran's little maid, it's part of your duties to warm his bed, you know." Ning Rongrong spoke mischievously.
"Yeah, you haven't warmed Xu Ran's bed yet. If you wear a maid outfit, Xu Ran will absolutely adore you." The group of girls teased, blushing Ye Lingling intensely, yet the idea began to take root in her heart.
Initially, she became Xu Ran's maid solely for the future of her family, serving him. But now, she had truly fallen for Xu Ran. How could she not, given his strength?
Huo Wu stood by, watching the conversation between the girls, puzzled by their boldness and their frankness in discussing such embarrassing matters. She hadn't completely adjusted to it yet, but given her nature, her courage would soon surpass them all after a few days.
...
Meanwhile, Xu Ran was standing guard outside Ah Yin's room.
After receiving a tip from the System sister, Ah Yin was now fully ready to be revived.
"Ding, System mission released."
"Host is required to reveal Tang Hao's true identity and have Lan'er (Ah Yin) kill Tang Hao, thus settling all past scores."
"Just so you know, Tang Hao has gone to the Hao Tian Clan."
"Ding, mission reward: Three thousand Skill Points."
The voice of the System sister came through, and at the same time, a bluish-gold figure appeared before Xu Ran's eyes.
Her cascading azure hair flowed down her back, and those sapphire-like eyes instantaneously mesmerized Xu Ran. Wrapped in a bluish-golden dress, her delicate figure was perfect, any more would be too much, any less would be too little, just gazing at her was a delight to the eye.
"Lord Auspicious Beast," Ah Yin saw Xu Ran, her eyes brimming with tears as she flung herself into his arms. She had been waiting for this day for so long. She had been diligently cultivating these days, hoping to transform sooner and be with Xu Ran.
And now, the day had finally arrived.
She finally got her wish to be truly with Xu Ran.
All she wanted was to stay by Xu Ran's side and be of help to him.
Besides, she had a score to settle with Tang Hao, who had been ungrateful and vile, sacrificing her and confining her to a cave as dark as a dungeon, without a glimpse of daylight.
Having been reborn, she wanted not only to be with Xu Ran but also to confront Tang Hao and personally put an end to him.
"Lan'er, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Xu Ran caressed the peerless beauty's silky smooth hair as if it were the finest silk, planting fervent kisses on her face, not missing an inch of skin. Her skin, as tender as young grass, made Xu Ran insatiable.
"Wu wu... Xu Ran," Ah Yin sobbed, contemplating Xu Ran's identity, tears of happiness streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Only a Soul Beast Emperor like Lord Auspicious Beast was the best match for her. As a Soul Beast Emperor, standing supreme above all soul beasts. In the future, she would bear Little Auspicious Beasts for Xu Ran, contributing to the development of The Soul Beast Realm.
