Ah Yin fully absorbed the nutrient solution, and the golden glow emanating from its leaves began to retract.
At this moment, Ah Yin looked no different from an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. At least from the outside, there seemed to be no significant distinction between Ah Yin and the common Blue Silver Grass by the roadside, except for the faint golden pattern along the edges of the leaves that signified the status of the Bluesilver Emperor, allowing one to perceive the anomaly of this Blue Silver Grass.
"If we can't draw better Plant Cultivation Solution, then Ah Yin will need another ten years to recover," Xu Ran muttered to himself. After witnessing Ah Yin's peerless beauty, he was determined to bring Ah Yin back to life.
With his current status as an Auspicious Beast, as long as Ah Yin came back to life, he could take her into his "Harem."
Ah Yin harbored deep hatred for Tang Hao. If Ah Yin recovered, he wouldn't need to act; Ah Yin herself would go settle the score with Tang Hao.
Of course, Ah Yin was no match for Tang Hao. But Ah Yin could expose Tang Hao's vile deeds to the public, and once Tang Hao's mask of ugliness was uncovered, his reputation would be in ruins. How could a man who used his own wife to become stronger be respected by others?
And then, Tang Xiao would also take action against Tang Hao. After all, Tang Xiao was very fond of Ah Yin. Back then, both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao fell for Ah Yin at the same time, but in the end, Tang Xiao willingly stepped back. The relationships among Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin were almost like those involving Liu Erlong.
But when Tang Xiao discovers how miserably Ah Yin was harmed by Tang Hao, what will he think?
By then, with a little stirring from Ah Yin, it's likely that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao would directly enact a drama of fratricide.
"Ah Yin, it will all be up to you then," Xu Ran said as he carried the flowerpot with Ah Yin in it towards Xiaowu and Zhu Zhuqing's room. As a rough man, he wasn't as meticulous as Xiaowu and the others and wasn't apt at taking care of Ah Yin.
If there was a time he forgot to water Ah Yin and let her wither, wouldn't that be the end of it? Ah Yin was now considered a sure member of his "Harem," and absolutely no mishaps could be allowed.
...
Xiaowu and Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory was much more exquisite than Xu Ran's. Girls have a lot of miscellaneous items, but everything was neatly organized, without appearing messy at all.
At this moment, Xiaowu had just walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing a little white camisole dress, exposing her slender legs and delicate, snow-white arms. In her hand was a pink handkerchief, with which she was wiping the moisture from her long hair.
"Xu Ran, you're here." Xiaowu wasn't surprised to see Xu Ran, merely greeting him as usual. After all, it was common for Xu Ran to visit their dorm, and although she was a bit shy at the beginning, she had gotten used to it over time.
However, after several times being caught coming out of the bathroom by Xu Ran, they made sure not to dress too revealingly, even during the daytime in the dorm, as Xu Ran's visits usually involved him getting handsy.
Although they were already in a relationship with Xu Ran, they still wouldn't dare to engage in any affectionate behavior with him if there were others around.
"Mhm."
"Where's Zhu Qing?" Xu Ran pulled up a chair from Zhu Zhuqing's desk and sat down, asking casually.
"Taking a shower. Why, do you want to go take a shower with Zhu Qing?" Xiaowu said with a playful smile, her charming big eyes blinking. Her gaze flirtatiously shifted toward the bathroom as she spoke with a tempting tone.
"Oh?" Xu Ran looked towards the direction of Xiaowu's bathroom, where several little pink and black pieces of clothing hung on the drying rack outside. Zhu Qing liked to wear black clothes, while Xiaowu preferred pink. The sound of water running in the bathroom spurred the imagination.
"But I think my Xiaowu has a bit more allure," Xu Ran smiled, promptly tackling Xiaowu onto her pink bed. As he did, the butterfly-knotted straps of her camisole dress slid off her shoulders.
Xu Ran took Xiaowu's snow-white, smooth shoulder into his mouth...
After a moment of confusion and infatuation, Xiaowu heard the sound of water in the bathroom seem to diminish and, frightened, she quickly recovered her clarity of mind.
"Xu Ran, stop, Zhu Qing is coming out," Xiaowu mustered the last of her strength to firmly push Xu Ran away and then spoke. Xu Ran, this shameless and lecherous wretch, Zhu Qing was still in the room. And yet, he dared to lay his hands on her.
"So what if Zhu Qing comes out? After all, you are both my treasures. Besides, you all stay in the same dormitory, what haven't you seen of each other?" Xu Ran shamelessly said, while Xiaowu, just after her bath, had a faint milky fragrance about her, the kind that one can smell on babies a few months old.
This scent that was uniquely Xiaowu's made it hard for Xu Ran to let go.
"No, if you continue like this, I'm going to get angry," Xiaowu pouted sulkily and gave Xu Ran a disdainful glance.
She knew all too well Xu Ran had those kinds of thoughts, but as long as she and Zhu Qing noticed his shameful intentions, they would firmly resist and not give Xu Ran any opportunity to take advantage.
Because these days she had realized that once there was a first time, there would be a second. If they were soft-hearted even once, she and Zhu Qing would be the ones to suffer. Hmph, Xu Ran, you bad man, still thinking about making her and Zhu Qing together...
Hmph, dream on, Xu Ran.
She and Zhu Qing would never agree to his demands.
"Alright then," seeing this, Xu Ran had no choice but to give up. He, Xu Ran, has always respected girls' wishes and would not force Zhu Qing and Xiaowu to do anything.
Love should possess some desire to claim, but it also shouldn't be too selfish.
Xu Ran held Xiaowu's light figure in his lap, allowing her to lie comfortably in his embrace, while Xu Ran rested his chin on Xiaowu's fragrant shoulder, his fingers gliding over her delicate collarbone.
"Xu Ran, did you come over because there's something you need? And you brought a pot of grass with you. You don't think I still eat grass, do you?" Xiaowu said discontentedly as she looked at the pot of Blue Silver Grass placed on the floor. Blue Silver Grass was everywhere; Xu Ran couldn't possibly think of it as a potted plant.
"Of course not. Take a look, does this Blue Silver Grass look any different to you?" Xu Ran smiled.
"Is there something unusual about this Blue Silver Grass?" Xiaowu asked with some surprise, sitting on Xu Ran's knees, swinging her legs back and forth in the air.
"No, this, this, this isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"It's the Bluesilver Emperor," Xiaowu said in amazement.
As a Soft Bone Rabbit that had once lived in the Aquipeia Forest for a hundred thousand years, she was all too familiar with the plant soul beast known as Blue Silver Grass.
Although she didn't understand why the gold color that symbolized the Bluesilver Emperor appeared on such a small piece of Blue Silver Grass, it was undoubtedly the Bluesilver Emperor.
"Right, the Bluesilver Emperor, could this be Sister A Yin?" Xiaowu's delicate body shuddered, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Ran. She was somewhat excited; could it be that Sister A Yin was not dead?
"Although Blue Silver Grass is the most common plant on the Continent, its vitality is also extremely tenacious. How could a hundred-thousand-year-old Bluesilver Emperor die so easily?" Xu Ran smiled and explained to Xiaowu.
