Soul Land, his strength had almost reached its peak now.
Perhaps, in at most half a year's time, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be invincible under heaven, even the Divine Realm would hold no fear for him.
Time had passed too quickly on his journey, but Xu Ran had few regrets. He had done what needed to be done. The beauties that should have been pursued were all in his grasp, only the far northern lands, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, remained out of reach.
However, he would sooner or later make a trip to the Far North.
The Aquipeia Forest, the Deep Sea, and the far northern lands were the three major habitats for soul beasts. The Far North also hosted many ferocious beasts that could take his Myriad Beasts Armor to the next level.
"If I devour the flesh and blood of the Deepsea Devil Whale King, perhaps I can break through quickly. Become a true ferocious beast. Xiuxiu might also become a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in a short period of time," little white said excitedly. Her mood was turbulent, and she would soon become the true overlord of the Deep Sea.
And all of this was brought to her by the man beside her.
Before, she had thought of Xu Ran as a peerless powerhouse, and if someone like him wanted her body, she would not dare refuse.
But now she was very willing to be with Xu Ran, for she had fallen in love with him. Xu Ran was so powerful, and the fact that he cared about her thoughts and feelings was already incredibly rare.
"Roar..."
The sound of a Devil Soul Great White Shark suddenly rose, communicating in their clan's language with little white.
"What's wrong?"
"Poseissi and Tang San are here," little white said with a dark expression, speaking to Xu Ran. She was already aware of Tang San's evil, and naturally, she felt an extreme antipathy towards him. It's just that Tang San was a god, and she wouldn't dare disrespect him in front of Xu Ran.
"They must be here for me," Xu Ran said with a disdainful smile. So Tang San, having gained Poseissi's trust, wanted to show off to him? Being so impatient wouldn't do!
...
In the hall.
Poseissi was cloaked in a layer of bright red robes, her sea-blue hair scattering behind her down to her calves.
In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long wand that was golden in color, like the gold that had appeared in the sky, and it was engraved with magic runes all over. The tip of the wand featured a diamond-shaped protrusion like a spear, and five inches below the spearhead, a diamond-shaped golden gem was embedded.
At the moment, Poseissi's heart was extremely unsettled, thinking about the imminent meeting with the murderer of Tang Chen, she clenched her fists even tighter.
She was very angry.
"Everything is up to me. Xu Ran will sooner or later die by my hand."
Tang San stood beside Poseissi, his eyes flickering with greed. Poseissi's beauty and tenderness deeply attracted him, especially that intelligent, mature charm of hers which stirred his heart.
"Thank you for your trouble," Poseissi said with a nod, her demeanor gentle and graceful.
She felt that Tang San was good, a descendant of Tang Chen, making her feel comfortable around him.
Tang Chen, now only Tang San was left of his descendants, and the Hao Tian Clan had been wiped out, so naturally she felt a bit differently about Tang San. But this was not the affection of love, just ordinary fondness.
Having just learned of Tang Chen's death, it was impossible for her to fall in love with someone else so quickly.
Even if Tang San did his utmost to reveal his affection before Poseissi, it was the same. Poseissi's regard for Tang San was only because he was Tang Chen's great-grandson.
"Sister Poseissi, what brings you here?" little white said with a coy smile, looking at Poseissi. The two were acquainted and close confidantes. In the Deep Sea, there weren't many who could talk to her, and Poseissi was one of them.
"Little White, you and..." Poseissi saw Little White coming and took her hand. She was filled with worry. She had learned that Xu Ran was a shameless lecher, and now that he had come to the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, she feared that Little White had already been heartlessly...
"Now Little White is my woman," Xu Ran's voice rang out from behind, pulling Little White into his embrace.
His gaze meticulously sized up Poseissi.
From her face to her figure, down to every part of her body, he scrutinized carefully.
Indeed, Poseissi was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
It wasn't for nothing that Tang Chen and Qian Dao Liu, two Title Douluo of the 99th Rank, couldn't stop thinking about her. Being a Title Douluo of the 99th Rank herself, how could she be anything but beautiful?
To describe her as incomparably stunning would not be an exaggeration.
When the Sea God chose Poseissi, it was based on her talent as well.
Even, Xu Ran felt that Poseissi could have obtained the Sea God's Nine Quests, were it not that the Sea God didn't want her to complete the Nine Quests and become the new Sea God. What the Sea God wanted was just a top-tier, flawless beauty as a pet.
But this was just fine, as this perfect Poseissi would belong to him.
There was no woman he wanted that he didn't get.
"What have you done to Little White? How could Little White be your woman?" Poseissi raged, looking at Xu Ran.
Seeing Xu Ran, the murderer who killed Tang Chen, if it were not for her lack of strength, she would avenge Tang Chen. But she had been warned by Tang San that Xu Ran was even stronger than him, and since Tang San was already the Rakshasa God, Xu Ran's power surpassed that of a god. Her modest strength was no match for Xu Ran.
"What have I done to Little White?"
"What else can a man do to a woman?" Xu Ran said with a laugh, casting a disdainful glance at Tang San. Even though Tang San had arrived at the Deep Sea earlier, he lacked the capability to enjoy it. Beauties, opportunities—Tang San shouldn't expect to have any.
"Xu Ran." Tang San's face darkened with anger as he saw that Xu Ran had found a new confidante in the Deep Sea in no time. His eyes turned blood red, and the murderous aura on his body became somewhat uncontrollable.
However, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
No matter how blissful Xu Ran's life was in other aspects, Poseissi was destined to be his, Tang San's.
That was enough.
For the rest, he didn't even give them a second glance.
"Xu Ran, you are shameless!" Poseissi's complexion changed slightly. She hadn't expected what she worried about to come to pass. On Sea God's Island, she had a good relationship with Little White and didn't want Little White to fall into the hands of a demon like Xu Ran, but in the end...
"You killed Tang Chen, and now you've made a move on Little White. Even though my strength is insufficient and I can't do anything about you, in the end, you will still be punished!" Poseissi said angrily, her gaze burning into Xu Ran as her ample chest heaved with indignation.
"Punished?"
"There is no one in this world who can punish me."
"Little White is my woman. I exterminated the evil killer whale king and repelled the evil killer whales for her. That is her reward to me," Xu Ran explained, approaching Poseissi, admiring her beauty.
Seeing the beauty furious and angry, Xu Ran felt it a rather special flavor.
He had initially wanted to tell Poseissi everything, but now Xu Ran no longer wished to do so. He somewhat enjoyed watching an unflappable beauty like Poseissi angry and helpless—it looked beautiful and was heart-stirring. He had tasted many beauties, but this style was unique; he seemed never to have tasted it before.
