"When does 'Host' brother plan to go to Martial Soul Hall?" Miss System curiously asked.
"There's no rush, let's wait until the academy tournament starts. The all-continent Soul Master Academy contest is approaching anyway, and the location is set in Spirit City. That will be a good time to pay a visit to the Martial Soul Hall and meet Bi Bidong,"
"With Qian Dao Liu, that old man around, even if Brock went to Martial Soul Hall, he wouldn't dare to make a move. If he really irritates Qian Dao Liu, the latter wouldn't care about giving Bi Bidong face, and Brock understands this, so I'm not worried that Brock would dare to do anything."
Xu Ran was indifferent; even if Brock went to Martial Soul Hall earlier, there wasn't much he could do.
Brock wasn't even a Soul Master now, he was inferior to ordinary people. If he went to a Holy Land for Soul Masters like Spirit City, he would only be subjected to the scorn and ridicule of countless people, even more so than in the outside world.
As for Tang San, because of his outstanding talent and the fact that he has Twin Martial Souls, he might receive some attention.
However, Xu Ran wasn't in a hurry at all. Even if Tang San and Brock managed to establish their footing in Martial Soul Hall, he could easily overturn their positions.
As for Martial Soul Hall, he only had one worry, Bi Bidong seemed hard to 'woo'!
Especially the relationship between Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue, it was a bit troublesome. At least for now, he hadn't thought of a good solution.
"That's true, during this period, 'Host' brother must thoroughly pursue Qian Renxue. She is the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall, highly favored and esteemed by a group of Titled Douluo in the Elder Hall."
"But does 'Host' brother plan to meet Bi Bidong as Qian Renxue's boyfriend, or what?" Miss System blinked, pouting her lips, cursing in her heart. 'Host' brother was too shameless, wanting both Qian Renxue and Bi Bidong. How could he possibly obtain both at the same time?
Unless 'Host' brother plays dirty, otherwise, two equally proud people, especially with that kind of relationship, couldn't possibly serve 'Host' brother together.
"Let me think about that problem," Xu Ran coughed twice. This was precisely the issue that troubled him the most. If it was just about taking the body, it would be easy, but a mere body without the soul, feelings, and thoughts was meaningless.
He didn't want to give up either the beautiful face or the interesting soul.
Once Bi Bidong found out about his relationship with Qian Renxue, there wouldn't be any fun left. Even if Bi Bidong truly developed some feelings for him, she wouldn't be with him then!
"Forget it, I'll decide when the time comes," Xu Ran felt helpless. Both women were stunning beauties, both future gods. Even Qian Renxue was so wilful, occasionally rebuking and biting him.
Wouldn't Bi Bidong be even more difficult to handle?
As the Pope, the difficulty of winning her over was enormous. Most importantly, even if he used some means to pursue Bi Bidong, once he started roaming around in the future, Bi Bidong would go even crazier than Qian Renxue. Little Spider could directly poison him to death; after all, it seemed Qian Xun Ji died that way. With such a cautionary tale in mind, he was somewhat afraid.
"Drink while the wine is present, worry tomorrow when tomorrow's troubles come. Everything else can be discussed in the future," Xu Ran had a good mentality and soon forgot this worry. He hadn't yet taken the final step with Qian Renxue, and thinking too much was useless.
He'd think about it when the time came to 'devour' Qian Renxue.
...
While Xu Ran was contemplating how to deal with the complicated relationship between Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue, Bai Chenxiang had just finished bathing and changed her clothes in her boudoir when Bai He knocked on her room door.
Bai Chenxiang wore a blue short skirt that ended a third of the way down her thigh, her round and straight legs wrapped in a layer of thin, tight black stockings. Her crystal-clear, petite toes playfully peeked out from the opening at the front of her pink slippers, stretching the stocking material and exuding an air of youthful, sweet temptation.
A pair of small wings grew from her back, flapping as she floated half a meter above the ground.
"Grandfather, why are you here?" Bai Chenxiang opened the door, and the pair of Sharp-tailed Swallow wings behind her had not been retracted.
"Xiangxiang, what are you hiding in your room for? It's so late, why don't you go and keep Lord Xu Ran company?"
"This is Lord Xu Ran's first visit to our Min Clan; we absolutely can't let Lord Xu Ran feel that we are not hospitable," Bai Chenxiang had no sooner opened the door than Bai He began speaking in a flurry of words.
Now that something of that nature had already happened between his granddaughter and Xu Ran, it was imperative to make good use of this relationship.
If Xiangxiang didn't take the initiative, the man might very well leave after having his fill and not even remember her afterwards.
A supreme powerhouse like Xu Ran, what kind of woman has he not seen? Xiangxiang doesn't have any special skills or advantages, if she doesn't take the initiative now and Xu Ran doesn't show interest later, then she would certainly be at a loss.
Right now, the Min Clan is relying on Xu Ran. A supreme powerhouse like him, even a little support, could bring great benefits to the Min Clan.
Whether from Xiangxiang's personal perspective or the family's interests, this is what she should do.
"Grandfather, what are you thinking about? Why should I go and keep him company at this late hour?" Bai Chenxiang's face blushed, not understanding why her grandfather kept wanting her to find Xu Ran. It would be too shameful for her to go to Xu Ran's room on her own initiative at this time of night.
She was not that kind of woman to offer herself up for others to take advantage of; she had some pride as well.
"Or else what? After he has had his way with you completely, if you don't take the initiative, you'll be the one crying later," Bai He said, annoyed. How could his granddaughter be so foolish?
"What has he had his way with me completely? Grandfather, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense. There is nothing inappropriate between me and Xu Ran. He didn't even touch me," Bai Chenxiang said, her face red. But she couldn't say he hadn't touched her at all, Xu Ran had kissed her, and that gaze he gave her was so wicked. And he even pinched her foot. Shameless Xu Ran, rotten scoundrel.
"What do you mean he didn't touch you? If he hadn't touched you, why did you stay so long in the room with Xu Ran? And why until midnight?" Bai He looked confused and befuddled, indicating he didn't understand.
"Grandfather, can't you see the wings behind me?" Bai Chenxiang said irritably, her wings fluttering behind her, stirring up a sharp current of Wind. Besides flight, these Sharp-tailed Swallow wings also gave her a strong Wind-based direct-attack soul skill.
Now she also had some combat ability. Although she had only one combat soul skill, the power of this soul skill was not any weaker than those of direct-attack class or strong-attack class Soul Masters at this level of Soul Power.
"This?" Bai He was startled and looked up at the wings behind Bai Chenxiang.
This!
This is an attached soul bone!
When his gaze moved to the pair of wings, his Martial Soul also stirred restlessly as if it was being drawn by some power.
"Wings...these are attached soul bones!"
Bai He was shocked and exclaimed with excitement. Wings growing out from one's back could only be the work of attached soul bones.
"And it's not just any attached soul bone; these are from the Sharp-tailed Swallow," Bai Chenxiang blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling inexplicably moved. With her talent, it would have been nearly impossible to break through to a Titled Douluo in this lifetime, but now, her once distant dream seemed within reach.
Maybe Xu Ran had that sort of magic, easily changing someone's destiny. Such power, no one would refuse.
