"So that's how it is, that's how everything turned out." Liu Erlong muttered in a daze, her heart could not help but clench with pain. It wasn't because of Yu Xiaogang's despicable behavior but because she felt that her past efforts were worthless.
She had spent all her youth on Yu Xiaogang. How ridiculous.
Yu Xiaogang merely used her as a tool for his own use.
"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' for completing the mission."
"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' for acquiring the Sword Flight Technique, two thousand Skill Points, and Evil God Sword Soul Ring, which has automatically advanced to a hundred thousand years."
"Host information list is as follows:"
['Host']: Xu Ran
[Martial Soul]: "Godslayer Sword"
[Skill Points]: 8400 points
[Items]: Myriad Beasts Armor (Demi-God Artifact), all Soul Rings promoted to a hundred thousand years
['Cultivation Level]: 56
[Bloodline]: Kirin Auspicious Beast Bloodline, Ancestral Dragon Bloodline (three thousand five hundred years)
['Harem']: Zhu Zhuqing, Xiaowu, Zi Ji, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan
[Mission]: None at the moment
As the System's voice fell, Xu Ran's mind filled with many more things, and the profound technique of Sword Flight instantly entered his mind. He quickly comprehended it.
After the fifth soul ring was added, Xu Ran's 'Cultivation Level' surged, jumping directly to level 56. Xu Ran's strength saw a significant boost once again.
"Such intoxicating power," Xu Ran murmured, reveling in the boundless 'Soul Power' within him, and could not help feeling excited. Now, with his strength, he was truly considered a formidable being in his own right.
The mighty force he could only experience with the use of a 'Cultivation Level' experience card previously, he was now able to slowly achieve with his own strength.
"Promote my soul beast 'Cultivation Level' to ten thousand years," Xu Ran said directly. The initial growth of a soul beast's 'Cultivation Level' was the easiest to improve. An Ancestral Dragon of ten thousand years could mix with the best unless opposed by a heaven-defying God level strong.
Aside from the areas related to Divine Residence inheritance that System Missy mentioned where remaining in Ancestral Dragon Form was prohibited, everywhere else should be fine.
"Ding, the 'Host's soul beast's yearly growth has been promoted to ten thousand years. Host brother still has 1900 Skill Points remaining."
"Ancestral Dragon's strength is robust, a ten-thousand-year Ancestral Dragon is enough to confront semi-God rank super ferocious beasts like Di Tian, and a hundred-thousand-year Ancestral Dragon can rival a First-Level God. However, to become stronger, you must ascend to God rank strong. The energy level and intensity of Divine Power are far higher than those of 'Soul Power'," said System Missy, blinking her beautiful eyes, with a hint of admiration.
'Host' brother has only been transmigrated for a few days and already possesses such terrifying power.
If given more time, he might become invincible across the Continent.
"Understood," Xu Ran nodded.
Once his Ancestral Dragon Form's 'Cultivation Level' reaches a hundred thousand years, he could walk unhindered across Soul Land. According to the soul beast annual growth addition rules, after ten thousand years, one Skill Point is equivalent to ten years. To reach a 'Cultivation Level' of a hundred thousand years, only nine thousand Skill Points are needed.
When Xu Ran arrived, Yu Xiaogang was being fiercely whipped by Yu Yuan Zhen.
"Father, please don't beat me."
"I am the most miserable. Liu Erlong, that woman, destroyed my Martial Soul. And she even fell in love with someone else."
While wailing, Yu Xiaogang shouted out loud.
He was resentful. Why could Liu Erlong and the others live their lives so brilliantly, while he, Yu Xiaogang, lived like a dog? He schemed, all just to make something of himself. Was that really so wrong?
```
His gaze lifted, filled with resentment as he looked at Liu Erlong.
Had he known about this earlier, while he was still with Liu Erlong, he should have eaten her. That way, he could have tasted her beauty. And even if she had ended up with Xu Ran at that time, her life wouldn't have been easy.
But now, it was all too late.
The image of Xu Ran surfaced in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Even though Liu Erlong had fallen for someone else, that bastard Xu Ran was definitely no good. The reason he had ended up like this was all thanks to him.
Even...
No, could it be that it was Xu Ran who had summoned his father and Uncle Er today?
They would usually be busy with the affairs of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so why would they care about them? Why had they suddenly appeared now, and even revealed the truth of the past to Liu Erlong?
Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had eaten shit.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. Damn it, Liu Erlong had cheated on him, which meant she no longer loved him. So why would Xu Ran bother to deliberately bring his father and Uncle Er here?
Could it be that Liu Erlong still had feelings for him and that he had misunderstood everything before?
"Supreme Elder." Xu Ran appeared, and Yu Yuan Zhen and Yu Luomian respectfully saluted him.
At this moment, Liu Erlong snapped out of her daze and looked up blankly at Xu Ran.
Looking at Xu Ran's handsome and extraordinary face, she stood there blankly, her legs shapely and straight.
What did she just hear?
Her father and uncle both addressed Xu Ran as the Supreme Elder?
Suddenly, it was as if she understood something.
"Lord Xu Ran, are you the one who has been helping me all along?"
As Xu Ran arrived, she had a faint epiphany. Before, Lord Xu Ran had consistently said that Yu Xiaogang was a hypocrite. Now, had Lord Xu Ran purposely gone to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to investigate the truth?
Her heart was trembling.
She couldn't help but recall that day on the lawn, when Lord Xu Ran had pressed down on her fiercely, his hands holding down her shoulders tightly, and then he said those words.
"Long'er, do you like the gift I gave you?" Xu Ran stepped forward, extending his hand to embrace Liu Erlong, her voluptuous and alluring body pressing tightly against him, a heady fragrance rushing into Xu Ran's nostrils.
"Lord Xu Ran... Thank you..." Liu Erlong bit her lip, gazing at Xu Ran with gratitude. If it weren't for him, she might have been kept in the dark for her entire life, never knowing the truth.
That would've been utterly despairing.
To have always liked someone who had the heart of a beast. Now that it was all over, it was perhaps for the best.
"Just a thank you? How do you plan to repay me?" Xu Ran's lips curved into a smile as he looked down at Liu Erlong's ample chest, which made her white shirt stick out noticeably. Liu Erlong was very close to Xu Ran, so naturally, he could sense something unusual.
"I... I will do my duties well, serve you properly, Lord Xu Ran. Of course, I won't do those kinds of things," Liu Erlong quickly added.
"Fine, you can't escape from the palm of my hand anyway," Xu Ran declared dominantly, feeling the softness at Liu Erlong's waist.
"Xu Ran."
"I knew it, it was you, you caused my downfall. It's all you!"
Seeing Xu Ran, Yu Xiaogang's emotions erupted completely. Watching the intimate embrace between Xu Ran and Liu Erlong, he became even more enraged.
Damn it, he felt sure that his speculations were absolutely correct. Everything was driven by Xu Ran from behind the scenes!
