章 445: Chapter 443: Back to the Star Dou _1
Entering the Aquipeia Forest again, Xu Ran felt differently, as if he had returned to his own territory.
Indeed, as both an Ancestral Dragon and an Auspicious Beast, the land where soul beasts gathered was no different from his territory. The Auspicious Beast was none other than the Soul Beast Emperor, and the Ancestral Dragon was even the Beast Clan Overlord, transcending the very concept of soul beasts.
All creatures under the heavens must prostrate and submit upon seeing the Ancestral Dragon.
...
The moment Xu Ran stepped into the Aquipeia Forest, Gu Yuena, who was lying on the cold bed, suddenly opened her purple eyes, which sparkled with silver light, revealing a hint of longing.
It had been a long time since Xu Ran had left, and although to her, a hundred or a thousand years was but a nap's time, things had changed after meeting Xu Ran.
With Xu Ran, every minute and every second was precious. The time without him was exceedingly difficult, as if every moment was torture.
She didn't understand what had come over her, why she longed so much the moment Xu Ran left, why her heart ached so, wishing she could run out to find Xu Ran and have him hold her, for them to be close together.
"Xu Ran, how strong are you now?" Her cherry lips slightly parted, and her voice, as pleasant as an oriole's song, filled the air. Gu Yuena remembered the terrifying bloodline pressure that had even affected her as the Silver Dragon King.
The bloodline pressure emanated from Xu Ran himself.
Now, she even had a premonition that Xu Ran's strength was no less than hers.
At the Lake of Life, Zi Ji also felt Xu Ran's presence, transformed into human form, and hurried towards the inner reaches of the Aquipeia Forest.
"Alright, absorb the Soul Ring." After searching the inner area, Xu Ran found a suitably aged eagle-type soul beast for Bai Chenxiang. What she needed now was an attack-oriented Soul Ring.
"Hee hee, Xu Ran, you are so amazing," Bai Chenxiang said joyfully, running up to Xu Ran and planting a kiss on his cheek, then calmly began absorbing the Soul Ring.
The remnant soul within the Soul Ring was cleared by Xu Ran, and aside from needing to refine energy, she would encounter no other danger.
Bai Chenxiang sat cross-legged, peacefully absorbing the Soul Ring.
At that moment, a fragrant breeze wafted through the air, and a purple figure appeared before Xu Ran.
The newcomer was dressed in a long purple gown, with long purple-black hair cascading down her back, her body as plump as a peach, wafting with a unique fragrance. Her enchantingly beautiful features compelled onlookers to cast a glance.
Zi Ji had arrived.
"Hell Devil Dragon King Zi Ji pays respects to Lord Xu Ran."
Upon seeing Xu Ran, Zi Ji stood at a distance and bowed respectfully, her voice tinged with a touch of melancholy. Her purple-black eyes fell upon Xu Ran, filled with a hint of reproach.
For Zi Ji, not seeing Xu Ran was agonizing, as if countless ants were crawling over her heart every day, making her long for him all the more.
"Zi Ji, you're here? What's our relationship? Do you really need to bow? Come here, let me give you a hug." Xu Ran smiled, stepped forward, and reached out to take Zi Ji's hand.
"Lord Xu Ran is the Soul Beast Emperor, a noble and high-status figure, busily managing myriad affairs every day. How could a humble girl like me establish relations with Lord Xu Ran?" Zi Ji moved a half step back, crossing her legs one in front of the other, outlining her curvaceous and perfect figure.
"What, are you upset?" Xu Ran caught Zi Ji's slender arm and pulled her into his embrace, her soft, voluptuous form truly insatiable.
"No."
"You say no, but it looks like the vinegar jar is about to spill." Xu Ran laughed, feeling Zi Ji's ample figure, burying his face in her thick and delicate hair, enjoying the fragrance emanating from it.
"Whimper, it's just because you've been gone so long without coming to see me, and I've been so bored here in Aquipeia Forest. Lord Xu Ran, I've realized that I can't live without you." Zi Ji said affectionately, feeling Xu Ran's presence, his tall and upright figure, and suddenly, all the faint resentment in her heart dissipated, leaving only deep happiness and satisfaction.
If not for Xu Ran, she would never have understood what it means to be alive in this lifetime.
A meaningless pursuit of strength, witnessing the rise and fall of the Soul Beast Clan through countless seasons. But only after meeting Xu Ran did she understand the meaning of life.
Only after experiencing longing and reunion can one understand such feelings. The pain of yearning might be bitter, but upon reunion, the bitterness turns into sweetness and all suffering becomes joy.
"Then, have you missed me these days?" Xu Ran asked gently, with warm, tender beauty in his arms, he couldn't help but be softened. Perhaps this was what they called the tender-hearted hero.
A gentle homeland can be a tomb for heroes, but perhaps every hero willingly falls. No one can understand this feeling without experiencing love and hate. No matter where you go, you always know that, far away in another place, someone is thinking of you.
This is the meaning of being alive.
"Of course, I missed you very much. Day and night, every moment, you were on my mind. If I wasn't worried it might cause trouble for you, I would've rushed to see you." Zi Ji, her body limp, her eyes brimming with emotion, spoke her heartfelt words.
"I've been missing my Zi Ji too. Look, haven't I just come to see you?" Xu Ran smiled, caressing Zi Ji's waist, wishing he could meld this tender-hearted woman into his very being.
"Liar, clearly you're here to help someone obtain a Soul Ring. Don't say you came especially for me; I don't believe it." Zi Ji glanced at Bai Chenxiang, who was still absorbing a Soul Ring, and saw her still in her youthful years, her body not yet fully grown, her heart relaxed a bit.
With her charm, she didn't believe she would lose Xu Ran's affection to a little girl.
Her only worry was about Xiaowu and the others… She was not always with Xu Ran; they could spend much more time with him. But she wasn't greedy, for a place in Xu Ran's heart was all she needed.
"I just happened to accompany someone to get a Soul Ring; the main reason was to see you, and Na'er." Xu Ran gently pinched his own snow-white chin, tilting her face up to meet his gaze, and then kissed Zi Ji deeply.
For lovers, a kiss is the most romantic language.
"Mmm." Zi Ji's eyes widened, her body went limp, allowing Xu Ran to kiss her.
After a while, Xu Ran stopped, Zi Ji's cheeks flushed, her eyes soft as she looked at him, quietly enjoying their time alone together.
Listening to Xu Ran's heartbeat and breathing, she felt indescribably happy.
In this life, to be favored by Xu Ran and to have a relationship with such a man was worth it.
In comparison, her previous days felt dull. Being with Xu Ran was different; it was not only painful but deep.
