"Brother Host, before, Shui Yue'er's aptitude did not meet the conditions, so there were no Skill Points awarded. Now that Shui Yue'er has consumed the Longing Autumn Water Dew, her qualifications have greatly improved and meet the System's goddess requirements, which is why there are Skill Points awarded now," explained the System Miss.
"So that's how it is." Xu Ran's eyes lit up. He had felt some regret before, but he didn't expect the rewards could be supplemented later.
Now this is perfect. The ten thousand Skill Points are almost in my hands.
It seems that even without becoming a god, he could already possess the power of a Divine Residence. It would just be in a body of a soul beast...
Thinking this, Xu Ran knew that a hundred-thousand-year Ancestral Dragon definitely had the strength comparable to a Divine Residence.
For soul beasts, the leap in strength from a thousand years to ten thousand years, and ten thousand to a hundred thousand years is the greatest. The increase in strength from a hundred thousand to nine hundred ninety-nine thousand years is not particularly significant.
If we compare it to human strength, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast skilled in combat is equivalent to about a level 95 Titled Douluo, but even if they reach nine hundred ninety-nine thousand years, they are only as strong as a peak Titled Douluo, or close to a demi-god.
So, reaching a hundred thousand years is enough for the time being.
An Ancestral Dragon, once it becomes a god, is amongst the highest-ranking Divine Residences, so he's not in a hurry at all.
"Brother Xu Ran, what's wrong? Did Yue'er do something bad?" Shui Yue'er asked, lying on Xu Ran's chest, her delicate fingers drawing circles on it, her bright and innocent eyes gazing into Xu Ran's.
The awkwardness and shame that flooded her when she saw Shui Bing'er kick the door open all dissipated. Shui Yue'er was not the kind of demure girl, so she quickly recovered. In her opinion, it didn't really matter; after all, her sister would marry Xu Ran sooner or later, so what was there to be afraid of?
She even always felt that Xu Ran was not so simple, and sooner or later, he would be worth double.
By then, the one who should feel embarrassed would not be her. She was already used to it, but her sister, with her thin skin...
"How could that be? I was just checking to see if my Yue'er slacked off while I was away," Xu Ran said with a smile. Shui Yue'er was now nearing the Soul Ancestor Cultivation Level.
"I've been super diligent, always working hard on my cultivation," Shui Yue'er pouted, clinging to Xu Ran like a little kitten, her petite body wrapped around him.
"Brother Xu Ran, how long will you stay this time? Are you going to leave in a few days?"
"No, I'll stay a bit longer this time, and if you miss me, just come to Tiandou City to find me. I'm at Shrek Academy now, you just need to report my name. This time I'm here to establish a sect and I want to pull you in as an Elder," Xu Ran said.
"Establish a sect? That's great!"
"I want to join too," Shui Yue'er's interest spiked upon hearing that Xu Ran was founding a sect, suddenly filled with energy despite having been a bit tired moments ago. As a young girl, she had never witnessed such an event before. Founding a sect just sounded so prestigious.
"Alright, when the time comes, I'll reserve a position as an Elder for you, Elder Shui," Xu Ran teased.
"That would be wonderful. And let's invite my sisters too, let our Tian Shui Battle Team join as well. After all, none of us belongs to any sect," Shui Yue'er said, reaching out to Xu Ran for the sect's Token.
"Here you go," Xu Ran handed over the Xu Sect's Token to Shui Yue'er.
"The Xu Sect's site is in Tiandou City. It's not fully built yet, so for now, we're temporarily based in Shrek Academy. You can come to the academy to look for me whenever. There's not much for you in the Xu Sect at the moment," Xu Ran explained. Currently, the Xu Sect was being managed by Ning Rongrong, Xiaowu, and Zhu Qing. Ning Rongrong would be the future Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. Although she was still young and Ning Fengzhi hadn't deliberately trained her, growing up around him had made Ning Rongrong very familiar with the operations of a sect.
Moreover, given that the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect had many businesses within Tiandou City, Ning Rongrong was handling matters very maturely, showing a strong contrast to her former delicate demeanor, which caught Xu Ran and the others by surprise.
Knowing that this was Xu Ran's sect, Ning Rongrong naturally wanted to do her best. Xu Ran, for his part, was only too happy to let them get some practice.
"Hee hee, then I'll go find the sisters now. You..." Shui Yue'er looked at Xu Ran with a blush creeping onto her face. If she went out with Xu Ran, everyone would know she had stayed with him in the room instead of coming out earlier.
She would be teased to death by them.
"Are you calling Sister Xue tonight, or is it the sister?" Shui Yue'er blinked her lovely eyes at Xu Ran.
"Whoever you can get here is fine," Xu Ran yawned, lounging on the bed with half-closed eyes. Traveling is exhausting, okay?
Thankfully, the journey from Skywater City to Tiandou City wasn't too far. He still remembered how tired he was when he first arrived in the Soul Land, traveling from Soto City to Star Luo City, crossing two major empires.
Thinking about it, having all his women gathered in one place was a kind of bliss; running back and forth was just too tiring.
Only, there was Zhu Yun from Star Luo City...
Next time he returned to the Xingluo Empire, it should be time for a coup. With his power, he could change the reigning family straightforwardly, and the Dai family could take a break. Though the Dai family wasn't too bad, Xu Ran wasn't exactly a nice guy.
This was a world where interests prevailed.
"Hee hee, I'll head off first then. If you're tired, you should take a nap. You won't escape tonight anyway," Shui Yue'er giggled and planted a kiss on Xu Ran's face.
"I'm not worn out because of you, it's just that traveling is tiring," Xu Ran said grumpily. He had always been used to a lazy lifestyle, accustomed to resting when tired and eating when hungry. Even though he could use his Soul Power to eliminate fatigue, he still preferred the old way of living.
Even if he became a god in the future and did not need food to sustain life, he would still want to eat and drink. It's a lifestyle choice.
"Yes, yes, even ten of me couldn't tire Brother Xu Ran out, only Yue'er is worn to death," Shui Yue'er pouted. Xu Ran's strength was still too overpowering for her to handle.
Even after drinking lots of water to soothe her throat, it was still a bit hoarse, and raising her voice made it hurt.
