Chương 267: Chapter 265: Zhu Yun is Concerned About Him_1
"Indeed, sister-in-law is incredible. And Sister Zhu Yun is not only exceptional in culinary skills, but also proficient in other areas, very capable indeed." Xu Ran praised as he toasted Davis. Zhu Zhuyun was the person with the most perfect figure he had encountered since arriving in Soul Land, without a doubt. Even though he had seen many stunningly beautiful women, when it comes strictly to figure, Xu Ran favored Zhu Zhuyun the most.
At this moment, his toast was not intended to get Davis drunk. He genuinely admired him, Brother Dai was steadfast.
Although he and Zhu Zhuyun shared a special relationship, his feelings toward Davis weren't particularly hostile. Davis was with Zhu Zhuyun because of the constraints of a marriage contract.
Davis was bound by a marriage contract to Zhu Zhuyun, but he had always refrained from taking liberties with her, a quality Xu Ran greatly respected.
He, Xu Ran, felt quite inferior by comparison. If he had such a stunningly beautiful little wife, he would, without a doubt, have savored her first and foremost.
Therefore, Xu Ran seldom plotted against Davis.
Even at this juncture, the first thing Xu Ran thought of was not to do away with him, but to influence his spirit, to change his mindset.
This action was proof enough: Xu Ran was a good man.
"Brother Xu, how did you sleep last night? I hope you've found the Great Prince's Mansion comfortable," Davis said with a smile.
"Of course I'm comfortable," Xu Ran nodded. Sleeping with the precious Zhu Yun in his arms, how could he not be? Although he hadn't done anything, just holding her, the experience was quite delightful. A beauty for a pillow, her fragrance wafting to his nose—it was a pleasure in its own right.
"Then, from now on, consider the Great Prince's Mansion your own home, Brother Xu. The yard where you're staying—I've had people keep it reserved for you, taking good care of it. You can stay anytime you come over," Davis said, trying to win over Xu Ran.
Xu Ran, a peerless genius, had almost been entirely swayed by him.
If Xu Ran genuinely regarded his Great Prince's Mansion as his own home, frequently coming and going, then it would truly indicate the depth of the bond between them. Even between an emperor and his most favored minister, there exist mutual suspicions, but between him and Xu Ran, it seemed there were none...
"Good, thank you, Brother Dai. From now on, I will treat the Great Prince's Mansion like my own home. After all, the elder brother and sister-in-law are family," Xu Ran said. With Davis's words, he felt reassured. He would be free to come and go as he pleased at the Great Prince's Mansion from now on, and appearing in Zhu Zhuyun's boudoir from time to time wouldn't be out of the question...
"Well said, treat it like your own home without reservation!" Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, Davis vigorously slapped his thigh, ecstatic. He hadn't expected Xu Ran to have such understanding, it seemed Xu Ran had completely let down his guard toward him.
Such a Xu Ran, fiercely loyal to him, would face mountains and fryers on his command without a frown.
What he needed now were warriors of Xu Ran's caliber.
As the saying goes, heroes emerge in times of chaos!
Now, as the ambition of Martial Soul Hall grew ever larger, and the upper three families gradually weakened, it was the autumn of chaos. Perhaps he and Xu Ran could rise amid these turbulent times and become heroes of an era.
"Wei Si, eat more and drink less, have more dishes," Zhu Qing urged when she saw Davis solely drinking with Xu Ran.
"Alright, Zhu Yun, I'll heed your concern. Even if it bloats me, I'll finish everything today," Davis felt a warmth in his heart, basking in Zhu Zhuyun's care, his spirits soaring.
Although there was a marriage arrangement between him and Zhu Zhuyun, in reality, their interactions had always been respectful but distant. Zhu Zhuyun, although a fine person, seemed emotionally cold towards him.
He wasn't sure if Zhu Zhuyun was simply too reserved or what the issue was, but their relationship hadn't developed much in the past. However, now he sensed a deep concern in Zhu Zhuyun's words.
Zhu Yun cared about him.
The rice Zhu Yun fried, he would eat it all today, even if it stuffed him to death.
Afterward, Davis didn't say anything else to Xu Ran. When a relationship becomes strong enough, a look or a gesture is enough to understand each other. Saying too much, on the other hand, can seem artificial and create distance.
Davis ate the meals with big bites, and despite feeling full, he kept swallowing. Was Davis eating just rice? No, he was eating happiness, he was eating love!
"System Miss, Brother Dai won't get sick from eating like this, will he?" Xu Ran asked with concern upon seeing this. Davis must have been influenced by some spiritual toxin, falling into some obsession, to be eating so unabashedly.
"The Thousand Demon King is the most powerful plant-type soul beast in Soul Land, possessing attributes of Wood (close to ultimate Wood), poison, and spiritual power. The spiritual poison of the Thousand Demon King can destroy a person's will, making them a puppet controlled by the poisoner. Long-term consumption of this toxin will turn them into a puppet in front of the poisoner."
"But the most terrifying aspect of the Thousand Demon King's spiritual poison is not its ability to control the poisoned person into a puppet with poison; as long as the poisoner doesn't act against the poisoned, the poisoned will not suffer any effects for their entire life," the System Miss explained.
Then, the System Miss continued to explain some of the control methods of this poison to Xu Ran.
The spiritual poison had been contaminated with the auras of Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuyun, so both of them could influence Davis... Every word and action of his and Zhu Zhuyun would henceforth affect Davis's future mind and his various thoughts and beliefs.
"Brother Dai, take your time eating. Shall I head back first? Zhu Qing is still waiting for me at home," Xu Ran said.
"Mm, okay," Davis replied, lifting his head to glance at Xu Ran. His eyes no longer held their former sharpness but had dimmed somewhat.
"Then, could I take Zhu Yún Jiě with me? Zhu Yun and Zhu Qing have also been separated for so long…" Xu Ran said with a smile, his palm resting on Zhu Zhuyun's slim waist.
This move startled Zhu Zhuyun completely, leaving her standing still without moving, her slender body trembling slightly, drenched in a fine, fragrant sweat.
"You can," Davis raised his head, looking at Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuyun as if he had seen nothing, merely nodding faintly.
"This is?" Zhu Zhuyun asked with surprise, looking at Xu Ran. At that moment, a faint brand appeared in Xu Ran's mind, a spiritual brand through which he could control Davis. As an Auspicious Beast, Xu Ran possessed strong spiritual power, and achieving this was naturally effortless...
"Then, Brother Dai, Zhu Yun, baby, and I will take our leave," Xu Ran said with a smile, playfully slapping Zhu Zhuyun's round, firm buttocks, his lips curling upward as he pulled Zhu Zhuyun out with him.
As long as Zhu Zhuyun regularly fed Davis the poison, Davis would only become an obedient puppet. If so, his desire to kill Davis also dissipated.
After all, killing is wrong, and it's not the conduct of a gentleman.
In the future, who knows, Brother Dai might even attend his and Zhu Yun's wedding.
