"Xiao Zi, that Tang San is not a good person. We owe a lot to Xu Ran this time." The Life Goddess's beautiful eyes swirled with emotion as she looked at Xu Ran with full affection.
"I know, I will never trust Tang San again," said the Destruction God. Looking at the Life Goddess's freshly bathed beauty, he couldn't help but feel moved. He wanted to be alone with Xiao Lü and have a deep chat.
However, the Destruction God didn't get a chance to speak before the Life Goddess interrupted him.
"Xiao Zi, you should leave us for now. Xu Ran and I still need to continue our research. Once we have made a success, I will give you a big surprise," said the Life Goddess. Her beautiful eyes turned towards Xu Ran, her delicate tongue licked her red lips, giving off an incredibly seductive look.
The originally noble Life Goddess now exuded a bewitching and charming aura.
In an instant, the Destruction God was spellbound. The Life Goddess seemed even more beautiful than before. It wasn't so much a change in her looks, but rather she now radiated a bewitching charm of mature femininity.
Even though the Life Goddess had a long life, having experienced eons of changes and countless years, she was no different from an ordinary girl before that incident. However, after that incident, she had transitioned from a girl into a woman.
"Oh, then I'll take my leave," said the Destruction God, turning around to leave.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a bit heartsick. Xiao Lü would never normally ask him to leave, but now...
It seemed that even Xiao Lü's attitude towards him had shifted.
"What am I thinking? How could this be possible? How could Xu Ran have the audacity?"
"Moreover, Xiao Lü isn't that kind of person. She has always adored me."
"I wonder what that surprise Xiao Lü mentioned is all about. I'm quite looking forward to it."
The Destruction God shook his head, discarding the unrealistic thoughts that had arisen in his mind. Xu Ran wasn't like Tang San; how could Xu Ran have that kind of courage? Besides, Xu Ran's character is quite good; he definitely wouldn't do anything bad.
"Bang!" After the Destruction God left, Xu Ran and the Life Goddess entered the house.
Xu Ran directly held the Life Goddess in his arms, indulgently spinning her around, using his foot to hook the door shut with a slam.
"Green Sister, you're just too beautiful," cooed Xu Ran, planting a kiss on the Life Goddess's tender cheek. The freshly bathed Life Goddess had a faint scent lingering about her, one breath of which was enough to invigorate the spirit.
By uniting with the Life Goddess this time, Xu Ran gained a significant advantage—his "Cultivation Level" shot up to level 89, just one step away from becoming a Titled Douluo. And if Xu Ran were to break through to Titled Douluo, then even without becoming a god, he would have the strength to battle the Destruction God.
Of course, the Life Goddess also gained considerably in strength.
Even though the Life Goddess was powerful before, she seemed to be lacking something. But now, whatever was missing had been replenished.
The aura of the Life Goddess was mysterious and profound.
"Xu Ran, I'm carrying your baby," the Life Goddess blushed shyly, her pretty face glowing. At the same time, she felt a heavy responsibility weighing on her shoulders. In her eyes, Xu Ran became increasingly important.
Before, she and Xu Ran were only in a romantic relationship, but now they had a little one to bind their relationship even more tightly together.
From now on, the three of them—her, the baby, and Xu Ran—were indispensable to each other.
They would be a family!
If anyone dared to threaten her family, she would be relentlessly merciless.
At this moment, a hint of fierceness flickered in the Life Goddess's eyes. Although she was gentle, that did not mean she was weak. Now, Xu Ran was the father of the child in her belly, and no one could touch Xu Ran.
Whoever dared would die.
Xu Ran was her husband, and their intimacy far surpassed that with anyone else.
Even with Xiao Zi, their relationship was merely platonic. If Xiao Zi ever made a move against Xu Ran, their relationship would shatter. She did not wish for such a day to come, but if it did, she would not be soft-hearted.
How can one have the best of both worlds?
If Xiao Zi and Xu Ran could not coexist peacefully, then she would have no choice but to choose Xu Ran.
Xu Ran was her husband and the father of her child; Xu Ran was the one she loved the most.
"What? Pregnant?"
"It can't be that accurate."
Xu Ran stood there, completely dumbfounded. Had he hit the mark on the first try?
The odds seemed a bit too high!
"What's wrong? Not happy?" the Life Goddess asked, giving Xu Ran a displeased glance.
"Of course not. I'm just curious, we only did it once, how could it happen so fast?" Xu Ran was dumbfounded. Even if it was a direct hit, those little swimmers flying to their destination would still take several days, wouldn't they?
"I am the Life Goddess, after all, with a physique prone to conception," the Life Goddess explained.
"I see," Xu Ran nodded seriously. There was a strange power within her, beneficial to both under its influence. Perhaps that was when the conception occurred.
"Don't worry. I feel that my pregnancy will be very long. It will take at least a hundred thousand years to give birth to the child. So you do not need to worry that the child's birth will prevent you from your flirtatious exploits," the Life Goddess said, touching her still-flat belly and revealing a tender smile.
The more advanced the life form, the longer the gestation period.
And with the child of the Life Goddess and Xu Ran, one could only imagine the sheer terror of its potential!
Xu Ran and the Life Goddess, both of them top existences. The child, inheriting talents from both, would naturally be formidable.
The longer the pregnancy, the more nutrients the child would absorb from the Life Goddess, and the more powerful it would become.
A long gestation period and fewer births; this was why powerful species like the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, as formidable as they were, sometimes faced the danger of extinction. In contrast, weaker creatures with strong reproductive capacities managed to thrive for ages on the Continent.
"What are you talking about? Now that I'm going to be a father, naturally, I should act like one. Once the child is born, I will not flirt around casually," Xu Ran declared with righteous indignation. He intended to set a good example. He could not let his son imitate him, knowing only to chase after girls day after day. And since they didn't have a System, such pursuit of pleasure was merely a distraction!
However, he felt that he wouldn't have a son; his children would all be young princesses.
That was what his intuition told him.
"Hmph. If you dare to fool around again, I'll have you..."
The Life Goddess glared at the spot between Xu Ran's eyes with a threatening air but was only trying to scare him. She was, in truth, too reluctant to follow through...
