Bab 70: Chapter 69: Zhu Yun Must Know Everything About Xu Ran_1
At this moment, all of Davis's attention was fixed on Xu Ran, to the point where he didn't even notice the unusual expression in the beautiful eyes of his fiancée, "Zhu Zhuyun". Those eyes held a trace of tenderness.
Since ancient times, beauties have favored the strong, a topic that has remained unchanged throughout the ages.
Because of women's unique physiological characteristics which make them appear more vulnerable and lacking in security. After all, being inherently defensive, even the fiercest of women have a vulnerable side. And this lack of security can only be soothed in the presence of the strong.
Of course, "Zhu Zhuyun" was not such a materialistic person, but Xu Ran had been the first to touch her body. One could say that that night, Xu Ran had felt her all over. While this made her angry, it also caused her to harbour some unusual feelings towards Xu Ran.
Women have always placed great importance on their chastity, touching their bodies would either enrage them or arouse their affection. Evidently, Xu Ran belonged to the latter category.
The relationship between "Zhu Zhuyun" and Davis wasn't deep, everyone loved freedom, nobody liked being trapped in an arranged marriage. "Zhu Zhuyun" was no different, which is why she had preserved her chastity so staunchly, not even allowing Davis to touch her.
This was, of course, also a part of "Zhu Zhuyun's" habits and her natural inclination towards purity. But such habits were nothing in the face of someone she truly liked. Rules were made for those you didn't care about.
"Zhu Zhuyun" hid her feelings well, that soft sentiment like spring water in her eyes was fleeting, instantly concealed by her. No one in the room noticed the anomaly in "Zhu Zhuyun's" demeanor.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was also all on Xu Ran at this moment; naturally, she didn't notice the unusual look in her sister's eyes either.
...
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for the awakening. After today, I will not make similar mistakes again," Xu Zhan gratefully looked at Xu Ran. Although he was defeated by Xu Ran, he didn't feel humiliated. Instead, he was somewhat thankful for Xu Ran's reminder.
Xu Ran was right, had today's events taken place on a battlefield, he would have died without knowing how.
This caused Xu Zhan to feel somewhat admiring. After all, not everyone would give a kind reminder to their opponent. But then again, Xu Ran could easily defeat him now and would probably leave him far behind in the future. Xu Ran would never consider him a rival. He could only look up to him until he was out of sight.
This was Xu Ran's talent, two purples and one black, far surpassing Soul Land's standard Soul Ring configuration.
Such a genius was unique throughout the entire Continent, even the Martial Soul Hall did not have such a frightening talent. He didn't know how far Xu Ran would go in the future, but he had a feeling that when Xu Ran grew up, the entire Continent would be shaken by him.
Perhaps, the future Xu Ran would reach the pinnacle of the Continent.
"It's good that you remember," Xu Ran nodded, the sound of swishing filled the air as the "Godslayer Sword" was sheathed. Listening to that sound, Xu Ran couldn't help but enjoy it.
Some have said that swords are a man's romance.
For Xu Ran, it was the same, every time he drew and sheathed his sword, his understanding deepened. The sword in his hand was far more than just a tool.
For swordsmen, the sword is life. This was the principle Xu Ran deduced from the Basic Sword Techniques Compendium that the System provided him.
"Xu Ran..." After the fight ended, Zhu Zhuqing quickly ran to Xu Ran's side, tightly hugging his right arm to her chest, the joy on her face spilling over uncontrollably.
Her fiancé was an extraordinary prodigy, only a few months older than her, yet his strength had already surpassed a Soul King. With one sword cut, he broke the strongest soul skill of a Soul King, and with the next, he held it right at his opponent's vital spot, defeating Xu Zhan in an instant.
It was a no-frills, crushing battle, like art, revealed before her at that moment. She couldn't help but feel proud of Xu Ran; her emotions at that moment were even more thrilling than her own breakthrough in "Cultivation Level", because this was her fiancé. He was the ultimate genius in the world, with a future beyond measure.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes looking at Xu Ran were like a touch of spring water, she hugged Xu Ran's arm tightly against her chest, her face flushed slightly with shyness, but when she thought of Xu Ran attempting to do that to her the day before, her heart fully opened up.
She was Xu Ran's fiancée, and would be his wife in the future.
In this life, she belonged to Xu Ran, in death, she'd be Xu Ran's ghost, and could never fall for someone else.
Then, since Xu Ran likes it, he might as well take it.
As long as Xu Ran is happy, that's all that matters.
"No matter when, you are my only one." Xu Ran caressed Zhu Zhuqing's black and soft hair, speaking gently.
This scene was witnessed by "Zhu Zhuyun", and suddenly a hint of envy for Zhu Zhuqing arose in her heart. From then on, Zhu Qing would be free, and although Xu Ran was shameless and lustful, he actually treated Zhu Qing very well. A gift worth thirty million golden soul coins was given away like it was nothing; if he wasn't lustful, his kind would surely be the favorite among all women in the world.
"Alright, alright. This isn't the place for you two to be exchanging sweet nothings," "Zhu Zhuyun" spoke up, interrupting the two.
Seeing this, Xu Zhan also prepared to take his leave. It would not be proper for him to stay here during the Dai and Zhu Families' private affairs.
"Great Crown Prince His Highness, Brother Xu, and Miss Zhu Yun and Miss Zhūqīng, I will take my leave now. We can chat another time if the opportunity arises," Xu Zhan said and then made his way toward the exit.
Only Xu Ran, Davis, and the Zhu Family Sisters remained in the room.
Davis pulled Xu Ran to sit next to him, while the Zhu Family Sisters sat together on one side.
"Brother Xu, today you have really opened my eyes. With the 'Cultivation Level' of a Soul Elder, you actually managed to leave Xu Zhan without a temper. Xu Zhan has always been extremely proud, but today he met his match in your hands. With Brother Xu's talent, if nothing unexpected happens, I fear you will at least be a level 95 or above Titled Douluo," Davis said with admiration.
"Brother Dai is being too courteous; there are always people better than oneself, and there is always a higher sky above. I am merely another walker in this world," Xu Ran said, shaking his head with an air of nonchalance.
"Haha, not many people with Brother Xu's attitude can be found," Davis thought, cursing in his heart. If Xu Ran wasn't anything special, then what did that make his own talents? Barely noteworthy?
"Brother Xu, I came today not only to make your acquaintance. I have another important matter for which I would ask your help."
"I am currently contesting with Dai Mubai for the throne, and if Brother Xu could stand by my side, my chances of winning would greatly increase. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Xu to become my right-hand man. If Brother Xu is willing to work for me, I will also do my best to speak well of you in front of our father. Your relationship with Zhu Qing wouldn't face any problems either," Davis said, his gaze fixed on Xu Ran as he held a black Token in his hand, implying that if Xu Ran accepted this Token, it meant he was willing to form an alliance with him.
What he needed now was Xu Ran's stance.
"Since Great Crown Prince has said so much, naturally I can only respectfully comply. Besides, Great Crown Prince and 'Zhu Yún Jiě' have that kind of relationship. We are practically family. By joining forces, we can look forward to achieving great things in the future," Xu Ran said, taking the Token from Davis's hand.
He had already planned this.
To use Davis to deal with the Dai Royal Family's dissatisfaction with his and Zhu Qing's marital affair.
In addition to that, it would give him more opportunities to be with Zhu Yun. If he became an advisor to Davis, wouldn't that mean he could visit "Zhu Zhuyun"'s room every day?
"Good, well said. From now on, you and Zhu Qing can be together without any worries. I'll handle any issues that arise for you. Here is a Golden Soul Currency Card containing ten million golden soul coins, universally accepted throughout the Continent; take it, Brother Xu, for any emergency you might encounter," Davis said, stuffed the Golden Soul Currency Card into Xu Ran's embrace, and couldn't help but want to laugh for some reason.
Dai Mubai was a fool, not only unable to contest the throne with him but also having his fiancée run off with someone else.
What was key was that he used Dai Mubai's fiancée to attract a peerless genius to his side. No matter how you looked at it, this was a profit. After all, he wasn't using his own fiancée. Using Dai Mubai's wife to attract a genius to his side was too lucrative.
His heart blossomed with joy, unaware of how Dai Mubai would feel knowing that they had handed his fiancée straight over to Xu Ran.
But anyway, he always found it amusing.
After the meal, Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing left, leaving only Davis and "Zhu Zhuyun" in the room.
"Zhu Yun, you should stay at home for the next week or two. Help me keep an eye on Xu Ran, and most importantly, try to understand his character. For such a genius, we must thoroughly understand him. And only you, as the eldest daughter of the Zhu Clan and Xu Ran's aunt, have the chance to truly get close to Xu Ran. When you have fully understood Xu Ran, then I'll have the confidence to truly control him," Davis instructed.
