Actually.
Because of Xu Ran's rise in power, the Zhu Clan now leads the Xingluo Empire.
Although the Dai family is still ostensibly the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, with the manipulation of the Zhu Clan, the powers originally belonging to the Dai family have defected to the Zhu Clan.
It is clear to anyone with eyes that Xu Ran's strength is already enough to overthrow the imperial authority.
If Xu Ran wished, the Zhu Clan could become the Imperial family.
Even though Xu Ran has not made a move yet, those powers have all come to visit the Zhu Clan, seeking to forge connections with them.
The Dai family can only feel helpless as they sense the Zhu Clan's power growing stronger within the Empire; Xu Ran's strength has long surpassed that of the emperor's. What good would mobilizing a million-strong army do? Could they really take on Xu Ran?
The previous battle between Xu Ran and Tang San in Spirit City, which was like a scene of divine demons descending from the ninth heaven, was witnessed by participants of the Soul Master tournament from the Empire, leaving them in awed reverence of Xu Ran.
Xu Ran stared at the Goddess of Kindness without blinking.
Probably only the Goddess of Kindness could be a Divine King who blushed with such shyness.
"Xu Ran, why do you keep staring at me?" The Goddess of Kindness felt tingling on her scalp from being stared at and glared at Xu Ran in annoyance.
"Could it be that the Goddess of Kindness has fallen for me? Deliberately coming to my 'Harem' to peek at me."
"If you miss me, you could just come to me directly. Why sneak around?" Xu Ran teased.
"Shameless! I've told you, I saw it by accident. Get lost, I definitely wouldn't peek."
"Even if you asked me to, I wouldn't look."
The Goddess of Kindness, feeling both shy and annoyed, lifted her beautiful leg and kicked Xu Ran.
Her heart was pounding because of what Xu Ran had said.
"But you were looking quite intently just now," Xu Ran chuckled. This girl didn't even blink when she was watching earlier, and now she's pretending to be pure?
"Shameless!"
"I did not."
The Goddess of Kindness turned her face away, blushing, unable to meet Xu Ran's gaze.
Her typically undisturbed heart suddenly rippled because of Xu Ran's few casual words.
Such playful banter was something the Evil God couldn't offer her.
In the Divine Realm, everyone was serious. Who would dare to joke with her like this?
"Really not?" Xu Ran asked back.
"Really not. Let's not talk about this anymore. Otherwise, I'm going to get mad," the Goddess of Kindness threatened, swinging her little fists in front of Xu Ran, looking very angry.
To Xu Ran, the Goddess of Kindness appeared even more adorable like this.
"It's great. Too bad the Evil God doesn't understand—having such a treasure beside him and still failing to hold onto her, and even likes to make her angry," Xu Ran said as he looked at the Goddess of Kindness.
Such a woman was a true treasure, one that needed to be treasured in the heart.
But evil and kindness are natural opposites.
It's not just the opposition of Destruction and Life Attribute, but also a clash of actions, personalities, and values.
If it weren't for the concern of maintaining the stability of the Divine Realm, and the higher status they could enjoy by being allied together as two Divine Kings, they would probably have fallen out long ago.
Xu Ran's words struck a chord in her heart.
Even though she had gotten used to it over the years, she still felt indignant every time she thought about it.
Why should her other half be an existence filled with evil deeds? She detested such people the most in her life, yet she was forced to be with him.
"You don't need to comment on my business with the Evil God."
The Goddess of Kindness said sternly as she faced Xu Ran.
Actually, her heart was not without its own sadness. But she couldn't allow herself to show that.
"Goddess, do you want to be with the Evil God? If the attribute restraint between you and evil disappears one day, what will you do??"
"I…"
Upon hearing Xu Ran's question, the Goddess of Kindness was somewhat stunned.
Did she really want to be with evil?
The aura of evil made her feel sick and intolerable.
Just thinking about that utterly evil aura enveloping her caused her to shudder.
Before, there had been no conflict between her and the Evil God because, although they were lovers in name, they lacked the substance of lovers. All they had to do was maintain a superficial relationship—endurance was key.
But once the attribute restraint disappeared, they would have to perform the duties of husband and wife.
This revelation left the Goddess of Kindness utterly dumbfounded.
"Then, Goddess, do you want to have a child?" Xu Ran asked with a grin. He knew that the Goddess of Kindness had already fallen into his trap. His skill at digging pitfalls was truly excellent.
"Of course. Which woman wouldn't want to have her own child?"
The Goddess of Kindness gave Xu Ran an annoyed glare.
"Oh. Then I have a method that could let you avoid the Evil God and still get pregnant," Xu Ran said, looking at the Goddess of Kindness with some mischief.
"What method?" The Goddess of Kindness asked, surprised.
As the offspring of kindness, she naturally disliked the idea of her child carrying an evil aura, which would be more unbearable to her than death.
"It's just…" Xu Ran leaned close to the Goddess of Kindness's ear and whispered.
She knew that, given the Goddess of Kindness's nature, she would not tattle to the Evil God.
"You, you, you, you're utterly audacious. You shameless!" lashed out the Goddess of Kindness, her chest heaving, pointing at Xu Ran with a trembling jade finger, her face flushed red from either embarrassment or anger.
In any case, the Goddess of Kindness's heart was in utter turmoil.
Who knew Xu Ran's method would be of this nature?
Heavens!
"Xu Ran, you're not going to tell me that your so-called method for me to conceive a child with the Evil God is this method, are you?" The Goddess of Kindness said angrily, her face so red it looked like blood could drip from it.
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!
She had never uttered a single swear word, but at this moment, she felt like cursing.
Xu Ran, this shameless scoundrel, indeed craved her body!
From the beginning, she knew Xu Ran was a lecher, and truly, a dog can't change its habit of eating feces.
She had previously wondered why Xu Ran always tried to stir up trouble between her and the Evil God. It turned out Xu Ran wanted to take advantage of the situation!
"Hmm. What do you think? How could it be possible? It was just a casual suggestion. This would even harm my body, so if you're unwilling, let's forget it. I don't want to be at a loss either," said Xu Ran, quickly changing the subject when he saw how fiercely the Goddess of Kindness reacted.
The Goddess of Kindness was inherently kind-hearted, and to make her suddenly do such a thing would surely be against her principles.
"You at a loss?"
The Goddess of Kindness looked incredulously at Xu Ran.
She had thought Xu Ran was already shameless enough, but she hadn't expected he could be this despicable.
This kind of affair clearly puts the girl at a greater disadvantage.
Furthermore, Xu Ran was not single; with beauties around him, what loss could he possibly suffer?
The Goddess of Kindness's face grew darker by the moment.
"Asking for a beating! How dare you toy with me on such matters." A white energy whip shot from the hand of the Goddess of Kindness towards Xu Ran.
Seeing this, Xu Ran's hands surged with tremendous soul power, dissolving the energy whip.
The Goddess of Kindness was shocked by this scene. Her attack had been so easily neutralized by Xu Ran; had his strength really grown to such an extent?
