"Xiao Wu, do you think Master can succeed?"
Purple Pearl looked towards the far distance, her heart extremely troubled.
The battle at Sea God's Island had a vast impact, and people in the surrounding seas could sense the commotion from there. They just didn't know what had happened on Sea God's Island.
In the waters, Sea God's Island was an incredibly holy existence.
To the surrounding populace, Sea God's Island was a place of lofty stature.
Others might not know what happened, but Xiao Wu and Purple Pearl certainly did.
Xu Ran must have encountered trouble over there.
That level of battle—it must have been a battle of gods.
"Xu Ran has never let me down," Xiao Wu clenched her delicate fists. In her heart, Xu Ran was an invincible existence, no one could possibly be his opponent.
"Should we go look for Master? Waiting here, I always feel a bit uneasy," said Purple Pearl. Although Xiao Wu had told her some of the past deeds, she was still very worried.
When it came to gods, who could guarantee the final outcome?
What if Xu Ran got hurt or worse…
She dared not think in that direction, for now she regarded Xu Ran as the most important person in her life. The Purple Pearl Pirate Group she had devoted herself to was already destroyed. Xu Ran was now the last hope in her life.
"Don't worry, it will be all right. We are too weak, and even if we went to Sea God's Island, we wouldn't be able to help Xu Ran; we might even hold him back," Xiao Wu comforted.
In truth, she was also very worried.
Despite Xu Ran's strength, such a grand battle still terrified her.
Even a minor injury to Xu Ran would pain her deeply.
Who knows how many times Xu Ran had been hurt.
"Precious Xiao Wu, Purple Pearl, I'm back." A familiar voice sounded, and a black shadow flashed by as Xu Ran came over and directly embraced Xiao Wu.
"Xu Ran, you're finally back. I've missed you so much."
Xiao Wu was stunned at first, followed by a frenzy of joy as she hugged Xu Ran tightly.
These days, to say she wasn't worried about Xu Ran would be a lie.
Xu Ran and Tang San were mortal enemies, and with Xu Ran on Sea God's territory, his pride would not allow him to bow to the Sea God.
Several times she could hardly stop herself from going to find Xu Ran.
Later, she remembered that each time Xu Ran had been injured, it was because of their burdens. If she went to Sea God's Island and became a hostage in Tang San's hands, it would only distract Xu Ran, so she had to endure staying here.
"Xu Ran, are you hurt?" Xiao Wu's eyes instantly reddened, and tears swirled in her eyes, as she carefully checked Xu Ran's body.
"Why cry? Haven't I returned alive?" Xu Ran's heart softened at the sight of Xiao Wu's tears, and he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. His heart felt warm, perhaps this was the ultimate purpose of cultivation.
"I've been so worried about you these past few days. You were at Sea God's Island for so many days without coming back, I was afraid something had happened to you," Xiao Wu pouted as she spoke.
"Stop crying, or I won't bring you along next time to prevent your worry," Xu Ran said, smiling.
"No way. I'm just a little worried, but I still have a lot of faith in you. Your strength is so great, Tang San is definitely nothing to worry about," Xiao Wu gripped Xu Ran's hand tightly.
"What did you encounter on Sea God's Island this time? Tell us about it," Xiao Wu asked curiously, looking at Xu Ran.
"I'll tell you later, I'll introduce you to a few sisters," Xu Ran said with a chuckle, then quickly went to talk to Purple Pearl.
Xiao Wu was left murmuring to herself.
A few sisters?
In an instant, Xiao Wu felt dissatisfied. That bastard Xu Ran, always causing trouble whenever he went out, and he was sure to bring trouble to other pretty girls.
"Master," Purple Pearl greeted Xu Ran respectfully, her cheeks flushed. She remembered what Xiao Wu had told her before.
But without being certain that Xu Ran wanted her, she would continue to address him as master.
She wasn't that greedy.
Being Xu Ran's disciple was satisfaction enough for her.
Of course, if they could become closer, that would be even better. The relationship of mentor and disciple was good, but the friendship like that of Guan and Bao was also beautiful.
"Is everything on Pearl Island arranged?"
"Everything is set. Are we heading to land now?" Purple Pearl was somewhat excited. She also wanted to see what the land was like.
"Mhm," Xu Ran nodded.
"Stinky Xu Ran, don't try to change the subject. Spit it out, how many sisters this time?" Xu Ran saw Xu Ran speaking evasively and grew increasingly uneasy. If it were just one sister, Xu Ran wouldn't be acting like this.
"Not many. Just six," Xu Ran said with a chuckle.
Knowing he had to face it sooner or later, he gritted his teeth and let it out.
"Six?" Xiao Wu looked at Xu Ran dumbfounded.
Purple Pearl was also astonished as she looked at Xu Ran, somewhat taken aback.
"They're already here," Xu Ran quickly added, seeing Xiao Wu's eyes redden, as if she were about to cry.
He knew Xiao Wu would still save his face in front of others.
Being really angry meant squeezing her legs tight at night to keep him out.
Six flashes of blue light twinkled, and Poseissi and the others arrived beside Xu Ran.
They looked at Xiao Wu with some restraint.
They could tell that Xu Ran's love for Xiao Wu was deep, and the relationship between Xu Ran and Xiao Wu was something they couldn't compare with.
"This is the Grand Priest of Sea God's Island, Sea God Douluo Poseidon."
"This is the Sea God Island Sacred Pillar Guardian, Sea Lady Douluo Lorelai."
"This is the clan leader of the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, Little White."
"Little White's daughter, Bai Xiuxiu."
"The current king of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale, Lan Nuer."
"Lan Nuer's daughter, Blue Buddha Child."
As Xu Ran introduced them, Purple Pearl was utterly gobsmacked.
Having spent so many years on Purple Pearl Island, she naturally knew that these people were all influential figures in the sea. Two powerful races, Sea God's Island... Purple Pearl was completely dumbfounded.
Were all these lofty individuals she could never reach now Xu Ran's close female companions?
Purple Pearl couldn't help but feel inferior.
Only now did she realize that all the women with Xu Ran were a group of exceptionally beautiful individuals.
Her "Cultivation Level" was nothing compared to theirs.
Purple Pearl, who had been entertaining certain thoughts, withdrew her intentions, not daring to have any more inappropriate ideas.
Xiao Wu, after learning about these women's identities, was also stunned. Had Xu Ran stolen all the beauties of the ocean? Women from Sea God's Island and from the powerful Deep Sea tribes...
But Xiao Wu was a tiny bit unhappy.
She poked Xu Ran's chest.
"Stinky Xu Ran, don't tell me you're addicted," she said.
Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes were expressive, and thinking of Xu Ran's preferences, she suddenly felt a bit shy.
"Addicted to what?" Xu Ran didn't understand what Xiao Wu was talking about.
"To the kind of relationship I have with Sister Ah Rou. Do you like that kind of relationship? You men are all the same, only liking bad things," Xiao Wu said, batting her large eyes.
And to think it was two pairs.
Hmph.
"No. Am I that kind of person? Let's get going. I have some good news for you, really good news this time, you'll be very interested," he said.
"What is it?"
"Let's get married."
