章 739: Chapter 736 Children Make Choices, Adults Want Them All_1
```
"Brother Ran, you..." Ah Rou stared dumbfounded at Xu Ran's majestic figure, swallowing involuntarily. To a soul beast, Xu Ran's body was simply the epitome of perfection. Among soul beasts, strength was revered, and the aura emanating from Xu Ran was boundlessly powerful. His bloodline's oppressive might commanded the worship of all soul beasts.
"So, Brother Ran is such a powerful soul beast?" Ah Rou murmured, her beautiful eyes filled with softness. She had fallen for Xu Ran and now her love was even more overwhelming.
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was crushed to smithereens by a single palm strike from Xu Ran, vanishing into ash. What incredible strength!
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Xu Ran returned to his human form, came over to Ah Rou's side, and looked at her with a smile.
"How could that be? I originally thought you were human. I was so worried about that for a long time," Ah Rou pouted, leaning on Xu Ran's shoulder.
"Worried about what?"
"I was afraid that you would return to the human world someday. I've already missed the chance to reincarnate as a human after a hundred thousand years. Moreover, I can't maintain my human form all the time with my current strength. After all, I'm still far behind those powerful soul beasts," Ah Rou said.
"From now on, you won't have to worry about that, and nobody will dare to disturb us. Whoever dares to, I'll just crush them," Xu Ran laughed.
Mmm," Ah Rou lay in Xu Ran's arms without speaking any further.
...
Days flashed by in an instant.
In this dream deep within Ah Rou's consciousness, Xu Ran was also deeply engrossed.
Looking at the beautiful Ah Rou, he found himself not wanting to leave.
Xu Ran knew that this was probably the life that Ah Rou wished to lead. In this place, there were no disturbances from too many people, only love that they could share in each other's company.
He couldn't bear to break it and just wanted to make Ah Rou's lovely experience even better.
The setting sun dipped below the horizon, casting a brilliant light.
Everything turned golden.
Xu Ran lay on Ah Rou's beautiful legs, inhaling her body's fragrance as they watched the clouds drift by in the sky together. The breeze brought in waves of fresh, grassy scent.
"Ah Rou, there's something I want to tell you," Xu Ran slowly began. He knew he could not wait any longer.
It was just a dream, a dream belonging only to him and Ah Rou. But this dreamland was ultimately going to shatter. Xu Ran couldn't stay here forever.
"What is it?" Ah Rou's delicate body trembled, and her pretty face turned pale. Seeing Xu Ran's serious expression, she knew that the inevitable was about to happen. Xu Ran had said from the start that he came specifically to find her. At that time, she had been guessing about Xu Ran's identity.
Was Xu Ran about to leave now? Or...?
Ah Rou didn't dare to think further, stroking Xu Ran's cheek and savoring this beautiful tenderness.
She was scared, scared that the next moment, this happiness would shatter.
She truly had fallen for Xu Ran and didn't want to lose him.
"Actually, all of this is a dream, and we should wake up now," Xu Ran sighed.
"Back then, in the Aquipeia Forest... you had already died, but now you've been revived. You should wake up now," Xu Ran said with a complex expression, revealing everything to Ah Rou.
"Yes, I had already died in the Aquipeia Forest." In an instant, Ah Rou's body shook violently. Xu Ran's words shattered the dreamscape in an instant, and Ah Rou suddenly awoke, with all her past memories flashing through her heart.
```
In the Aquipeia Forest, Pope Bibi Dong led numerous Titled Douluos to hunt her down, and in the end, she was killed, her Soul Rings and soul bones absorbed.
These memories quickly jolted her awake.
"Is this really a dream? But it feels so real," Ah Rou clenched her delicate fist, tightly grabbing Xu Ran's sleeve. She seemed to understand something, yet even if it were a dream, she liked it here. Because Xu Ran was here.
If she left, what would her relationship with Xu Ran be?
She feared she couldn't be happily together with Xu Ran like this anymore.
"Xu Ran, why did you save me?" Ah Rou bit her red lips tightly, her beautiful eyes looking at Xu Ran as they turned a deep red. She thought of a possibility. Only in that case would Xu Ran save her.
She had no kinship with Xu Ran, and it would cost him so much energy to save her...
"Xiaowu and I have already pledged ourselves to each other," Xu Ran admitted with some shame. Despite having convinced himself earlier that choosing both was the adult decision, he couldn't dare look into Ah Rou's eyes as he spoke. He felt he had wronged her.
"You!" Ah Rou's eyes turned even redder.
Hearing Xu Ran's words, her heart ached terribly.
The man she had fallen in love with was Xiaowu's other half?
Was there anything more ridiculous in the world?
Why did the heavens treat her this way? What had she done wrong?
If Xiaowu knew about this, what would she think?
"Ah Rou, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hidden my identity. But you are just too wonderful, I couldn't bear to tell you the truth," Xu Ran confessed. He was worried that Ah Rou might do something rash.
"So you deceived me like this? What do you expect me to do now?" Tears streamed down her cheeks. Now she truly didn't know what to do.
She had thought about staying with Xu Ran for a lifetime without parting, to marry no one but him. But now, everything was false. What should she do?
Was Xu Ran's kindness to her also fake?
Even if it wasn't, how could she be with Xu Ran?
"What else can be done? You've already called me Brother Ran," Xu Ran said gently as he wiped the tears from the corner of Ah Rou's eyes and held her in his arms, not letting go no matter how much she struggled.
"You!" Ah Rou's heart gradually calmed down. Her feelings for Xu Ran were so deep that she would marry no one else but him. It was just too much information to take in all at once.
"Xiaowu is gentle; she will agree. With the two of us persuading her, Xiaowu won't object. And having the two people she's closest to by her side, she should be very happy," Xu Ran said earnestly.
"Is this how you used to bully Xiaowu too? Xiaowu must have endured so much bullying after following you," Ah Rou looked at Xu Ran languidly, her eyes filled with reproach. She now realized that Xu Ran was a real womanizer. While Xu Ran was good in many ways, he was not so good when it came to relationships, even shameless.
She didn't dare to think about it, yet Xu Ran actually wanted to have both.
But Xu Ran's suggestion had moved her; she cared only for Xu Ran now, she couldn't leave him.
"How have I ever bullied Xiaowu? I've been very good to Xiaowu, and you'll know that in the future. I will treat you just as well as I do Xiaowu," Xu Ran promised, allowing his eyes to wander over Ah Rou's delicate body. Just like with Xiaowu... wouldn't that mean he could have his way without restraint?
"Hmph. I haven't agreed to that shameless suggestion of yours," Ah Rou snorted delicately, not giving Xu Ran a welcoming look.
