While Xu Ran and Shui Miao were conversing in the room, seven girls had already gathered outside the door, whispering softly yet chattering away.
"Sister, how is Lord Xu Ran? Is he in a good mood? Did he notice anything strange after he woke up?" Shui Yue'er had the most questions, tugging on Shui Bing'er's sleeve with an anxious expression as she asked.
The other five girls, including Xue Wu, all felt somewhat uneasy. After all, they were going to visit such a powerful person, and it was certainly not true if they said they weren't nervous. A being like Lord Xu Ran could swipe them away with a mere hand movement, how could they not feel tense?
Although these days, while Lord Xu Ran was in a coma, they often visited him, and the fear in their hearts had dissipated quite a bit. But that was facing the comatose Xu Ran; now that Xu Ran was awake, it was natural for them to worry again.
"Don't worry. Lord Xu Ran is a very nice person," said Shui Bing'er, dispelling their concerns.
"However, Yue'er, you haven't caused any trouble, have you? Why are you so nervous? This isn't like you," Shui Bing'er looked at Shui Yue'er with some suspicion and worry.
She was somewhat concerned; that girl, Yue'er, always had a bold streak, and who knew, maybe she really did something while Lord Xu Ran was unconscious. If that was the case, it would be troublesome; though Lord Xu Ran was good-tempered, how could an entity of such cultivation be easy to provoke?
The other girls also stared straight at Shui Yue'er, who had been acting quite oddly these days. However, they didn't know what had actually happened.
Only Xue Wu had a glint of unusual light flash in her eyes. She had personally seen Shui Yue'er walk out of Lord Xu Ran's room in a fluster. At that time, there was a flush on Shui Yue'er's face, and her black pleated skirt seemed somewhat disheveled.
"Nothing, nothing happened. Don't overthink it," Shui Yue'er quickly denied. However, the panic that she couldn't hide was still caught by them.
"Yue'er, no matter what you're thinking, you mustn't provoke Lord Xu Ran carelessly. Lord Xu Ran isn't someone we can match at our level," said Shui Bing'er, a complicated emotion on her delicate face.
A dragon does not dwell with snakes.
In the end, their status was far too beneath Lord Xu Ran.
Lord Xu Ran was a being who stood at the pinnacle of the Continent. And what were they, then?
They didn't even know if they could ever break through to become Titled Douluos in their lifetimes. Some members might not even manage to become Soul Douluos.
Hearing Shui Bing'er's words, the faces of the other girls simultaneously showed a touch of loss.
After witnessing Xu Ran's terrifying power and his handsome, suave appearance, how could they not feel a stir of emotion in their hearts?
All the teachers and students at Tianshui College were female, and they seldom saw men in the college. Suddenly encountering someone like Xu Ran, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, it was natural for them to develop some different feelings.
"Sister, I know all that. I'm not a child anymore, I understand the reasons," Shui Yue'er replied nonchalantly, clearly not taking Shui Bing'er's words to heart.
...
"Creak"
The door opened, and Xu Ran and Shui Miao walked out of the room.
"Lord Xu Ran."
"Headmistress."
Seeing Xu Ran come out, the seven girls quickly approached and respectfully greeted Xu Ran and Shui Miao.
The seven girls wore a variety of dresses, each one stunningly beautiful. They bent down to greet Xu Ran, which inevitably made his heart itch.
Tianshui College was indeed a gem of a place. With over a thousand students, all beautiful girls, one could imagine just how prestigious the college's reputation was on the Continent.
Many years ago, there was a force that coveted the beauty of the thousands of girls at Tianshui College. They wanted to take the college for themselves and turn these girls into their forbidden delight, but in the end, that force was utterly annihilated.
All students of Tianshui College were female, and the power they brought through marital alliances was not to be underestimated.
However, for Xu Ran, he was not so greedy. Though he was indeed fond of women, he would not just take anyone that came his way.
He was the "king of the harem," not the king of stallions. With thousands of students, all beautiful girls, even if he wanted to, his body wouldn't be able to handle it.
To relieve swelling and itching, ten or eight would be enough. What would he do with so many?
"Rise, no need for such courtesy," Xu Ran said, helping Xue Wu, who was closest to him, to stand.
At that moment, Xue Wu wore a white shirt, which was stretched so taut by her fullness that it became extremely pronounced, and looking between the buttons one could even see some...
Xue Wu's lower half was clad in a black pencil skirt, accentuating the curves of her round and firm buttocks even more when she bowed.
It's no wonder she looked so good with her long black hair.
"Lord Xu Ran, your body..." Xue Wu, helped up by Xu Ran, trembled slightly inside and quickly found a topic to talk about.
"I had some trouble during my cultivation before and still haven't fully recovered," Xu Ran said.
"In that case, Lord Xu Ran, would you like to stay a few more days in the college to rest and recuperate?" Shui Yue'er abruptly suggested. She was a bit worried that Xu Ran would leave immediately upon awakening.
If that were the case, she wouldn't be satisfied.
She had already gone that far, regardless of the outcome, she wanted a result.
"Yes. I was indeed thinking about that. Meanwhile, I can also take this opportunity to guide your cultivation," Xu Ran said.
Now he was a Gold Token teacher of Tianshui College, so it was only natural for him to guide Shui Bing'er and the others in their cultivation.
This would also be a great way to deepen their rapport.
The Tian Shui Battle Team's seven girls were all rare beauties indeed.
"Lord Xu Ran is going to guide our cultivation?" Shui Bing'er and the several girls were so excited upon hearing Xu Ran's words that their cheeks blushed with emotion.
Being taught by such a supreme expert would bring them countless benefits. Such a strong individual could easily provide something that would be immensely beneficial to them.
At this time, Shui Miao too couldn't help but be excited. The Tian Shui Battle Team's seven girls were the pride of Tianshui College, the ones with the best talents of their generation. If they could be guided by a supreme figure like Lord Xu Ran, their future achievements could exceed her imagination.
"Lord Xu Ran, Bing'er and the others will follow you for their cultivation from now on. You will be their training teacher from now on, how about that?"
"That's fine. However, I won't be able to teach them for long. I'll leave once my body has recovered," Xu Ran said. Staying too long at Tianshui College would also worry Zhu Qing and the others.
