บท 56: Chapter 55 Xu Ran's Plan_1
Not long after Xu Ran left, Tang Hao burst out from the collapsed pile of rocks.
At this moment, his clothes were in tatters, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes, with waves of pain transmitting through his body, leaving Tang Hao extremely furious.
To think that he, Hao Tian Douluo, was bullied to such an extent was unbearable. Furthermore, Ah Yin had been kidnapped, and with that damned soul beast's temperament, who knows what it might do to Ah Yin.
At this point, the sequelae from the Explosion Ring also began to emerge, with all his meridians throbbing in pain. After the Explosion Ring event, it would take months for a Soul Ring to reassemble. That meant he could not use any soul skills for the next two months.
Although he could still use secret techniques like the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique and possess strength comparable to a Titled Douluo, he didn't feel like pursuing further at the moment. The soul beast was very powerful, and with his current condition, he was no match for it.
"You're ruthless, but once my strength has recovered, even if you hide in the Star Dou Great Forest, I will find you. And my Ah Yin…" Every time he thought about Ah Yin being controlled by someone else, someone who harbored improper thoughts towards her, his heart was filled with anger.
No matter what kind of hatred or conflict existed between him and Ah Yin, he couldn't tolerate his woman having any kind of relationship with others.
That was a man's dignity.
Ah Yin, as his wife, belonged to him regardless of life or death.
...
After leaving the forest, Xu Ran found a place nearby to stay. Tang Hao probably still thought he was a soul beast and wouldn't consider him a human, let alone pursue him.
However, if they ran into each other on the road, it would be awkward.
Therefore, Xu Ran still decided to stay nearby for a few days, waiting for Tang Hao to travel farther away before returning to the Star Luo Empire.
"What a handsome guy." After taking a hot shower in the hotel, Xu Ran, dressed in a white bathrobe, looked at himself in the full-length mirror and couldn't help but feel a bit narcissistic.
In fact, he hadn't paid much attention before.
The body provided by the System was really not bad; with heroic brows and starry eyes, and eminent aura, and even sporting an eight-pack. Anyone, male or female, could tell at a glance that he was a person of excellent character, a graceful gentleman.
"Host brother, how narcissistic of you," said System Miss, her cheeks blushing with red as she looked at Xu Ran's exposed body, daring not to look any longer. As a System, she had only ever interacted with the Host, and had only seen his body. This made her somewhat flustered. After all, she was a girl.
"What do you mean by narcissistic? Could it be, System Miss, that you don't like it?"
"I don't like it."
"Under the charm of the Host's looks, you might not be moved today, and perhaps you can hold back tomorrow. But I don't believe you can resist on the first day and still resist on the fifteenth," Xu Ran said with a smile, opening his bathrobe further to admire his perfect physique in more detail.
"Ah!"
"Host brother is being a hooligan, I'm ignoring you now."
Within the System Space, System Miss turned away too late when Xu Ran opened his bathrobe, letting out a sharp scream. She instinctively covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to look amiss.
"Suddenly, I feel like I'm at a loss. You may have seen everything while I was taking a bath. And you definitely saw everything when I did private things," Xu Ran said, suddenly realizing this issue.
"Don't worry, Host. This system has integrity. I absolutely wouldn't look at things I shouldn't. I'm also not interested," assured System Miss as she calmed herself, the blush on her face fading slightly, before she spoke again. She couldn't help but pout her lips lightly; she was a system with integrity and professional ethics, naturally adhering to system guidelines.
Xu Ran then opened the System interface.
[Host]: Xu Ran
[Age]: 12 years old
[Martial Soul]: "Godslayer Sword"
[Skill Points]: 1600
[Cultivation Level]: Level 32
[Bloodline]: Kylin[100-Year]
[Harem]: None (will have one eventually, affection grows over time)
[Mission]: None at the moment
"Let's go for a Golden Ten-Draw," Xu Ran said. Looking at the more than a thousand skill points, he had originally thought of increasing the age of his Qilin Form to over a thousand years, which would probably make his strength equivalent to that of a normal twenty- or thirty-thousand-year soul beast. However, he didn't need to show off in the soul beast habitats for the time being. Even if he went to the Star Dou Great Forest, there wasn't much difference between a hundred and ten thousand years, and no one would dare to touch him anyway.
"The Golden Ten-Draw will cost a thousand Skill Points, and after the lottery draw, the skill points will be reduced to six hundred," the System said seriously.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining ten Skill Points."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Peerless Good Pot, this pot makes rice that can enhance appetite."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the accessory, Heart of the Phantom Sea. A mysterious necklace, exclusively for females. It can beautify and nourish the complexion of women who wear it and also enhance the cultivation speed of Soul Power by thirty percent."
"..."
"..."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring Age Addition Card. Using this card, you can increase the age of any one of the Host's Soul Rings by ten thousand years."
Upon hearing the System's notification, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief; though there were no huge surprises, it was still better than directly using one thousand skill points to upgrade a Soul Ring.
Moreover, he had obtained a necklace that could enhance cultivation speed, which he could later give to Zhu Qing as a gift. Not bad at all.
Increasing the cultivation speed by thirty percent is definitely considered one of the top treasures. After all, it's rare to find such things that can boost cultivation speed on the Continent.
"Use this Spirit Ring Age Addition Card on the third Soul Ring."
"Ding, addition successful, the third Soul Ring age is now thirteen thousand years."
As the System's voice sounded, Xu Ran felt the power within his body continually growing stronger.
Beneath him, two purple and one black, his three Soul Rings flashed dazzlingly in the room. On the Douluo Continent, just having two yellow, two purple, and five black standard Soul Rings was enough to be considered a genius. Xu Ran's configuration of two purple and one black Soul Rings would probably even astonish Pope Bibi Dong.
If he showed up at the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong would likely take him as a disciple on the spot, and he would become the Saint Heir of the Martial Soul Hall.
But he was not going to the Martial Soul Hall now; what if he got locked in a dark room and couldn't come out? Besides, there was nothing he could do there, and if he dared to show any lustful intentions towards Bibi Dong, he would probably get beaten up right away.
How embarrassing would it be to be beaten up by a wife?
He might as well go flirt with Qian Renxue first.
Qian Renxue is now disguised as Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, and holds a noble status. And Xu Ran, as a core disciple of the Zhu Clan, an important family in the Xingluo Empire, if he were to get on good terms with Qian Renxue with that status, wouldn't it be delightful?
He could even pull in the tiger skin of international relations between the two nations to enhance his interactions with Qian Renxue.
By then, they could even talk as brothers, and Xu Ran could take advantage without Qian Renxue being able to do anything about it—even if it meant swallowing her own teeth because her current identity was male. After all, it shouldn't be over the line for two men to interact, right?
The System's Miss, sensing Xu Ran's thoughts, couldn't help but scoff at the Host's shamelessness. The Host doesn't even have a harem yet and dares to think so much.
Truly eating what's in the bowl while eyeing what's in the pot. Just too shameless.
