Chương 417: Chapter 415 Xue Ke's Thoughts, Tang Yuehua_1

Xu Ran pretended to be absorbed in painting, but his mind was far from calm.

It wasn't that he, Xu Ran, didn't want to be decent, but his sister-in-law was simply too enchanting.

Pah, Xue Ke and Davis weren't even married yet, not now anyway.

"Lord Xu Ran, could you come and scratch my back for me? It's itchy, and I can't reach it." Seeing Xu Ran seemed to have finished painting, Xue Ke blinked her eyes, which were like autumn waters, and looked at Xu Ran with a thousand charms, saying with a coquettish voice.

Her voice was so seductive, it gave Xu Ran goosebumps all over.

"Where's the itch?" Xu Ran knew Xue Ke was lying; after all, they were both Soul Masters, how could they suffer from common skin diseases? But unable to resist Xue Ke's teasing, Xu Ran still walked towards her.

The moment his fingertips touched Xue Ke's skin, Xu Ran felt her milky-white skin that seemed to have been soaked in the finest milk, incredibly smooth, which made one long to taste it, to see if it really had a creamy flavor.

"On my back." Xue Ke spoke softly, her voice lowered as Xu Ran really approached and she felt the touch of his fingers. In front of Xu Ran, she was still just a young girl who was experiencing the beginning of love.

Xu Ran pretended to pull Xue Ke into his arms, gently scratching her itch.

Originally, Xue Ke wasn't itchy, but under the caress of Xu Ran's fingers, she really began to feel itchy, and not only itchy but also a bit numb.

"Does it itch here?" Xu Ran's gaze drifted towards Xue Ke's perky bottom, and he couldn't help feeling stirred.

"A little." Xue Ke was shy and turned her head away, not daring to look at Xu Ran.

After a while, at Xue Ke's prompting, Xu Ran finally stopped his hand.

"It should feel a lot better now," said Xu Ran. By then, Xue Ke's skin had turned pink, and there was a fine sheen of sweat on her body.

"Much better, thank you Lord Xu Ran. With your healing touch, Xue Ke feels much better now, no more trouble with my body," Xue Ke said softly, her face turning red, understanding that she had deceived him. There was nothing wrong with her; she just wanted an excuse to be close to Xu Ran.

For instance, Xu Ran was now lying on her bed, although there was some distance between them. But she could still hear Xu Ran's breathing and heartbeat, and even catch his scent.

Unlike other men she had known, Xu Ran smelled good, exuding a faint scent of pheromones.

"No need to thank me, after all, I'm doing this for the Great Crown Prince, I'm as close to the Great Crown Prince as brothers, his affairs are my affairs. The fiance of the Great Crown Prince is..." Xu Ran stopped mid-sentence upon seeing Xue Ke's watery eyes and then continued.

He stopped halfway, realizing his words were taking an odd turn.

And Xue Ke's face turned red, blinking her big black eyes, she asked softly, "Is the fiance of the Great Crown Prince your fiancee too?"

"No, no, that was just a slip of the tongue," Xu Ran said with a slight smile.

"Oh. I thought..." Xue Ke's mouth formed an 'O' shape, thinking that Xu Ran still harbored those kinds of feelings for her, otherwise, why would he scratch her itch, even going as far as to touch her bottom.

If Xu Ran was truly loyal to Davis, how could he possibly touch his fiancee's bottom?

Such a private area...

But...

Xue Ke tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, unsure what Xu Ran really thought of her.

She couldn't help but glance at a certain part of Xu Ran, which was only slightly moving, seemingly unaffected.

But Xu Ran isn't interested in her?

Even if he doesn't like her, Xue Ke, she's still a great beauty, isn't she? Could it be that she has no attraction to Xu Ran at all?

Could it be that Xu Ran is impotent?

Or does Xu Ran fancy the Imperial Brother? Otherwise, why would he spend all day with him? She seemed to have never seen Xu Ran seriously discussing national affairs with him. Could Xu Ran be that kind of person?

Fortunately, Xu Ran was clueless about these words; otherwise, he would definitely cry out in injustice—he didn't lack feelings; it's just that the reckoning was clinging to his waist.

"Right, do you know about Yue Xuan?" Xue Ke suddenly remembered the important matter. Teacher Tang Yuehua was thinking of meeting Xu Ran. With his high accomplishments in music, the teacher would be even more pleased with him.

Wait a second, why does that statement sound a bit weird? But indeed, Teacher Tang Yuehua was very interested in Xu Ran.

"Yue Xuan? I don't know." Xu Ran, of course, knew about Yue Xuan, but he just shook his head. How could he, someone like an aloof expert, care about a minor Etiquette Academy?

Yue Xuan is akin to an academy that teaches court etiquette; cultivating one's moral character and refining sentiments are not bad indeed.

However, in a world where martial arts reign supreme, Tang Yuehua's talents in the arts only have some appeal among the nobles who are unsuited for martial practices and are preparing to pursue the path of literature.

"Eh? You don't even know about Yue Xuan?"

"The academy is where I study, and Principal Tang Yuehua of Yue Xuan is a famously beautiful woman far and wide. Most importantly, she is extremely accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is hailed as the most elegant woman in the Tiandou Empire," Xue Ke said, her eyes shining, full of admiration. In her heart, she dreamed of becoming such a woman.

Tang Yuehua was also one of the people she respected most.

"Last time I mentioned you to Teacher Tang Yuehua, she really wanted to meet you."

"Oh."

"Will you go or not?"

"Please, Teacher Tang Yuehua is very nice. When the time comes, you can have in-depth discussions about many things. Be it profound or superficial, in that respect you can both benefit greatly." Xue Ke nudged Xu Ran's arm, speaking in a somewhat coquettish manner.

She was completely oblivious to how flirtatious she and Xu Ran were at that moment. Unknowingly, the two of them were nearly leaning on each other. Xu Ran hadn't moved his position, but Xue Ke kept leaning towards him, inching closer and closer until they were almost touching.

"If you push me any more, I'm going to fall off," Xu Ran said, looking at Xue Ke, his heart full of a sense of achievement. Before, it was always him, Xu Ran, chasing others. Was he now to experience the feeling of being chased by other women?

Sizing up the situation, Xue Ke even seemed to want to take advantage of him, which made Xu Ran outright dumbstruck.

The women of Soul Land, especially those with gifted talents and beauty, were rarely as open as Xue Ke in matters of the heart. Shui Yue'er was one, and now Xue Ke was the second.

Xu Ran even felt that Xue Ke's courage in the future might surpass that of Shui Yue'er.

After all, she presently bore the title of fiancee to the Great Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, and despite such a status and the constraints of the court etiquette she had learned before, she could be this bold. What about the future?

Initially, Xu Ran wanted to just go ahead and consume Xue Ke, but now he quickly dismissed the thought.

After all, being chased and taken advantage of—how could that not be enjoyable? Given Xue Ke's temperament, if he didn't make his intentions clear, she would likely become more intense in the future, possibly transforming into a female rogue and making a move on him.

By then, when he reciprocates—well, won't that be delightful?
