Capítulo 260: Chapter 258: Gentleman Xu Ran, from now on these places will be your home_1

"Hmm?" Julia's expression changed subtly, as she felt the changes in her own body, utterly astonished.

Long confined to the deep palace, lacking exercise, her body had developed many small ailments over time, and she felt somewhat frail. But now, under Xu Ran's kneading, it felt as if those minor ailments had miraculously vanished. The sense of comfort from inside out made her almost feel like she could ascend to the heavens.

This was too comfortable...

What was happening?

Could Xu Ran be a godly healer?

But even a godly healer couldn't possibly have such ability, right? To cure illnesses just by massaging? It was simply too inconceivable.

"Empress Dowager, when I was young, I learned some techniques from a master which can cure some simple ailments and revitalize muscles and bones," Xu Ran said directly, seeing the strange look on Julia's face. His Divine-level Massage Technique had completely erased the Divine Power of the Five Great Supreme Gods within Gu Yuena, so naturally, her minor ailments were a trifle to him.

"Is that so?" Julia nodded lightly, looking at Xu Ran, finding him more inscrutable than ever.

Powerful, supremely talented, with such magical and frightening healing ability. Moreover, according to the information she had gathered, Xu Ran seemed to be perfect in almost every aspect.

No gold is pure, no one is perfect; everyone has their flaws.

But from Xu Ran, she could not discern a single flaw, as if he were a perfect creation of the heavens. All the positive adjectives in the world seemed applicable to him.

Oh, no, there was one thing.

Xu Ran had quite a bit of romantic luck; it seemed that in the field of love... heroes have always struggled to pass the test of beauty...

Thinking of this, Julia extended her beautiful leg and hooked it around Xu Ran's waist.

"Empress Dowager." Xu Ran felt his heart skip a beat when he saw this; he knew that the empress, this foxy vixen, certainly didn't have good intentions, clearly admiring his looks, wanting to do unreasonable and shameful things to him.

But was he, Xu Ran, the kind of man without self-control?

"Xu Ran, I admit that you are very talented; throughout the Continent, even throughout its history, it is difficult to find a man as outstanding as you," she said.

"However, if you dare to harm Wei Si, I will never let you off," Julia's gaze suddenly flashed with a chilling coldness. As a queen, of course, she couldn't degrade herself to seduce a junior.

Xu Ran was the most outstanding of his generation in their family, and she needed to protect him.

But she absolutely could not allow Xu Ran's growth to threaten Davis's position.

"Empress Dowager, about you and Brother Dai..." Xu Ran's thoughts raced, and in an instant, he understood it all. Davis was Julia's son, her offspring, the Great Crown Prince...

This explained it.

At the moment, with her behavior and summoning him to her private chambers, she probably wanted to warn him. If he dared to make a move against Davis, she would slander him for being disrespectful to her, the empress.

Goodness, isn't this kind of plot straight out of TV dramas?

Such a melodramatic turn of events falling on his, Xu Ran's, head?

Most importantly, Julia actually doubted his loyalty to Davis. He, whose loyalty was as evident as day and night, was utterly devoted to Davis, and not only that, he was also extremely caring towards Davis's fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun.

And yet, Julia doubted that he might harm Davis in the future, which was really improper.

He, Xu Ran, came from the 21st century, a civilized, reasonable man.

"I'm not doubting you. It's just that your talent is too powerful, powerful enough to make even me feel some fear. If you really grow up, you will be able to change the landscape of the entire Xingluo Empire at will," Julia said, comforting Xu Ran.

"Empress Dowager, please be assured. If not for Brother Dai, how could Xu Ran, Zhu Qing, and Zhu Yun have achieved what we have today? My life now is given by Brother Dai and Your Majesty. The gratitude I owe to Brother Dai and Your Majesty, I always keep in mind, and dare not forget. Let alone that Xu Ran is only at the Cultivation Level of a Soul Ancestor, even if I became a Titled Douluo, how could I ever forget the graciousness of Brother Dai for his recognition of me, and Your Majesty for saving my life?" Xu Ran said, lifting his head and puffing out his chest, his eyes brimming with determination.

At this moment, Julia's beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Ran, seeing his upright nature, his hatred of evil, and his grateful and reciprocating manner, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Here she was, Empress of The Empire, Xu Ran's elder, and yet, she had doubted him.

Xu Ran was a person of outstanding talent and appeared to be a gentleman of integrity. How could he possibly do anything foul to Wei Si? Xu Ran even just said that he is kind not only to Davis but also treats Zhu Yun very well.

With Xu Ran assisting Davis in the future, he will be able to stabilize his position in court politics, and even expand the territory and unite the world—it's not an impossible feat.

A talent of Xu Ran's caliber is like a double-edged sword; wielded well, it can bring endless benefits, but wielded poorly, it can inflict deep wounds on oneself.

Fortunately, it seems they have made the right bet.

With a gentlemanly demeanor like Xu Ran's, as long as you treat him well, he will feel it and repay you tenfold, a hundredfold.

Isn't the Zhu Clan a live example?

Xu Ran brought back soul bones worth tens of thousands of years this time, giving them directly to the Zhu Clan without even blinking. This is to repay the Zhu Clan for their nurturing, and also for Zhu Zìháo's kindness in being with Zhu Zhuqing.

Right now, all they need to do is to treat Xu Ran well, to let this gentleman feel the warmth of home.

Make Xu Ran feel that the "Harem" is his home, that the Great Prince's Mansion is his home, and that when Xu Ran comes to these places, it's like he's coming home. If they can achieve this, how could Xu Ran possibly covet Davis's throne?

The stronger the individual, the more obsessed they are with martial paths.

And Xu Ran is such a talented powerhouse. For Xu Ran, the mundane things of the world, the throne, and territories are but trivial. What Xu Ran pursues is the ultimate in martial arts, to be the top-ranked person in the world.

This does not conflict with their desires; rather, joining forces and supporting each other is greatly beneficial.

"Indeed, a descendant of the Zhu Clan, with your honesty and purity, I am the one being small-minded as the Empress. But after all, I am just a woman and cannot possibly have the broad-mindedness of you men. A young genius like you won't hold this against me, right?" Julia said with a charming smile, speaking openly.

"Empress Dowager is being too serious. The affairs of the state are of utmost importance, and it is only right for Your Majesty to worry about the nation. How could I possibly harbor any ill feelings against Your Majesty for this?" Xu Ran spoke with utmost integrity, his gaze turning to Julia's bosom which was heaving because of her speech.

It's indeed the women of the Zhu Clan, all so full and luscious.

Her figure was similar to Zhu Yun's, but with an additional mature and ripe flavor, like a juicy peach. After all, there was no hiding Julia's age, and some things become more flavorful with time.

However, Xu Ran didn't harbor any thoughts about Julia; he looked for a moment and then withdrew his gaze.

"Giggle. Well said." Xu Ran's subtle actions did not escape Julia's eyes, and she laughed merrily. Everyone desires to be seen as attractive, and she did not mind, on the contrary, she was somewhat pleased.

A talent like Xu Ran has seen countless women; if he spares her a few extra glances, doesn't it mean that even compared to the younger girls outside, she wouldn't be considered lacking?

"Empress Dowager, I shall take my leave then. Zhu Qing is waiting for me outside," Xu Ran said, not wanting to linger. After all, it's rather vexing being around such a seductive woman when one cannot take any action.

"Mm, go ahead," Julia waved her hand, watching as Xu Ran left, the smile on her face not diminishing for a second.

She believed she had seen Xu Ran's true character. With Xu Ran's help, both Wei Si and Zhu Yun would lie in comfort.

With Xu Ran there, their future as emperor and queen was as good as certain.
