Xu Ran and Hulena walked through the campus of Martial Soul Academy and were quickly recognized.
Many beautiful girls gleamed with excitement, staring intently at Xu Ran, wishing they could pounce on him. But after seeing Hulena in Xu Ran's arms, they could only suppress their desires.
"Xu Ran, you're so amazing now, everyone at Martial Soul Academy is talking about you," Hulena said, twirling her lively eyes, pride swelling in her heart.
Xu Ran was her man.
"If you wanted, not a single girl in Martial Soul Academy would refuse you," Hulena blinked, flashing a smile. Occasionally, she would hear bold words from those girls.
"Want what?" Xu Ran pretended not to understand.
"Hmph. Of course, that kind of thing that you men like," Hulena stuck out her tongue playfully, hearing from others that boys liked those things and enjoyed bullying girls.
"That's a wrongful accusation. I'm not that kind of person," Xu Ran shrugged, feeling wronged. He was always lumped into the ranks of the lecherous, but he wasn't that bad, was he?
He neither frequented brothels nor chased after dubious women.
He only experimented with some fun with his own wife, was there any wrong in that? That's called having a good taste, isn't it?
Xu Ran felt he needed to enlighten Hulena with such knowledge.
"Oh." Hulena covertly glanced at Xu Ran and, seeing that he indeed didn't look at other women, felt very happy and couldn't help but cling to his arm.
"Even if I did want that, at Martial Soul Academy, I would only want you..." Xu Ran whispered softly into Hulena's ear.
Although Martial Soul Academy was filled with beautiful women, truly breathtaking ones were scarce.
At Martial Soul Academy, Xu Ran only had eyes for Hulena.
The others were mere extras without even a name in the original story; he had no interest in them at all.
He now wished for only the nation's ultimate beauty, the sweet little sisters.
Across the entire Soul Land, there weren't many stunning beauties left he hadn't taken into his "Harem".
Only those few from the far northern lands, the Deep Sea, and a few he had yet to sample after savoring them.
"Hmph, you say nice things, but your heart is on other girls," Hulena said, originally shy but pouting again after seeing Xu Ran's shamelessly lecherous expression.
"Not true. I've been thinking only about you. How could I think of anyone else when I'm with you?" Xu Ran said with a smile.
"That's more like it." Hulena stuck out her tongue. "It's actually okay. As long as I'm in your heart, that's enough."
Hulena wasn't asking for much. She knew how outstanding Xu Ran was.
She was content to be with Xu Ran, and if she demanded too much, Xu Ran's close female friends wouldn't be pleased.
"Such a good girl."
"But what I just said was the truth. Since I've decided to be together, I'll try to be fair. I definitely won't let any one of you suffer," Xu Ran said, rubbing Hulena's flowing hair.
"Xu Ran, you're so good," Hulena felt warmth in her heart.
...
On the grassy hill behind the Martial Soul Hall.
The girl was dressed in tight clothing that outlined her exquisite figure; ample where it should be ample and slender where it should be slender, her body without an ounce of excess fat.
Hulena stretched out her round and straight legs, and Xu Ran lay on them, smelling the pleasant scent emanating from Hulena's body, feeling it as one of life's great pleasures.
There were no cosmetics or perfumes, just a faint, innocent fragrance that was so sweet it garnered pity.
The sunlight spilled down, bathing Xu Ran and Hulena, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, like a perfect painting.
Hulena gently massaged Xu Ran's shoulders as if she were an affectionate young bride.
In his past life, even when dating, where was there such enjoyment? Those dating experiences couldn't compare to one-off services that allowed for some enjoyment. The men from that time lived miserably; they got nothing out of it, constantly giving material and emotional support, living like dogs.
If he exposed the divine days he lived now, who knows how many people would be envious.
If he had a smartphone now, he'd definitely post on his social circle first to share his wonderful life.
Even gods have their worries, but Xu Ran felt he lived freely and was even cooler than a deity.
Beautiful girls in Soul Land were indeed wonderful; not only were they as lovely as angels, but their physical fitness was also excellent. Even though they cultivated and did the same tasks as men, they never complained.
"Xu Ran, what are you thinking about?" Hulena continued to massage his shoulders while asking curiously. Every time she was with Xu Ran, he always had some wild ideas and words that broadened her horizons.
Xu Ran was not only strong but his thoughts were also different from others.
"You're not a match with your current strength?" Hulena asked, surprised. She didn't grasp what Xu Ran meant, thinking there was some strong figure from the Divine Realm.
"Hmm." Xu Ran chatted with Hulena for a bit longer.
Hulena's thoughts quickly strayed away from the subject.
She didn't like to hear of any strong figures Xu Ran couldn't face. Xu Ran was invincible. Even if there were stronger figures than him now, with Xu Ran's youth, those figures would eventually be surpassed by him.
"Xu Ran, Sister Xue told me your skills with the zither and your literary talent are both exceptional, is that true?" Hulena asked admiringly. She had heard it recently from Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue said that Xu Ran's zither skills were unmatched across the Continent, even surpassing famed individuals like Tang Yuehua. Plus, Xu Ran composed poetry spontaneously.
It was hard to imagine such a person could be linked with Xu Ran.
Was Xu Ran talented in both martial and literary arts?
"Okay then. Since the lady has spoken, I can't refuse. But I wonder what reward I might get?" Xu Ran's lips curled into a mischievous smile. After his time with Bi Bidong, the System had granted him eight thousand Skill Points, and Hulena was another batch of skill points.
To court women not only brought joy but also made him stronger. It was truly delightful.
"Whatever reward you want, I'm good with it. After all, I know you won't mistreat me," Hulena said, her cheeks flushing red under Xu Ran's unguarded gaze, her head bowed, her chin resting against her full chest, feeling embarrassed.
Even if Xu Ran took her, it mattered not.
