Chương 528: Chapter 526 How about a deal?_1
"I'll agree for now, but I'll have to see how you behave. If you're not good to Xue'er or disrespectful to me, I'll never consent to your union," Bi Bidong felt she had grasped Xu Ran's lifeline and instantly became more confident.
As Xue'er's elder, given their deep blood connection, she didn't believe that Xu Ran and Xue'er could bypass her in their relationship.
After all, in this world, only her relationship with Xue'er was the closest. Blood binds them together, something not even Qian Dao Liu could surpass. She didn't believe the marriage between Xu Ran and Xue'er could be settled directly through Qian Dao Liu. Parental blessings, the matchmaker's words! It was she, Bi Bidong, who was the key to the final decision.
"It doesn't matter if you agree or not; Xue'er doesn't even take you seriously. If you don't consent to our marriage, Xue'er will hate you in the end," Xu Ran's lips curled into a smirk. To deal with a person, just grasp their weakness. One of Bi Bidong's weaknesses was Qian Renxue.
Even though she seemingly cold-heartedly banished Qian Renxue from Spirit City, she had been filled with guilt ever since that action. Now the guilt was even deeper, and the nearly irreconcilable rift between her and Qian Renxue was also a knot in her heart.
Bi Bidong's descent into evil ways stemmed from being too emotional, trapped by her feelings. It's like those honest people who, when bullied too much, can do all sorts of bad things. So the emotionally heavy Bi Bidong naturally had deep feelings for Qian Renxue.
"Xu Ran, don't overdo it. Xue'er is mine; she has not married you yet. If you dare tell her nonsense, unless I'm dead, I'll hate you for a lifetime," Bi Bidong's heart tightened, her stunning face turning pale. Just thinking about her relationship with Xue'er caused her great pain.
She had been a bit paranoid before, which led her to commit such irrational acts. She later regretted it; in fact, she was always happy whenever Xue'er visited Spirit City, but she never showed it. Countless times she wanted to recall Xue'er to Spirit City and have someone else carry out the mission to impersonate the Crown Prince of Tiandou Empire, but she never gave that order in the end.
She had never backed down from anything; since the deed was done, she wasn't going to easily abandon it.
"Of course I won't speak ill of you in front of Xue'er. Otherwise, if Xue'er really hates you, if you become my woman, she'll resent both of us," Xu Ran shrugged.
"Xu Ran, I've said it before. You shameless bastard. Not even in death will I let you get your way," Bi Bidong, unable to contain her anger, lifted her foot and fiercely kicked Xu Ran's wheelchair.
Her leg raised, revealing pale and delicate skin from beneath her trouser leg, and when she kicked Xu Ran's specially made wheelchair, her face instantly turned green. Without her powers, she was no different from an ordinary woman, and the kick to Xu Ran's wheelchair only resulted in her nursing a silent pain.
While she felt miserable inside, she still maintained an aggressive demeanor on the outside, hands on hips and eyes wide with fury, looking as if she wanted to tear Xu Ran apart.
"Bi Bidong, how about we make a deal?" Xu Ran's lips curled up as he looked at Bi Bidong. Knowing Bi Bidong's lifeline meant she posed no threat to him.
"What deal?" Bi Bidong stared at Xu Ran irritably. Was there anything left for them to discuss? Xu Ran always took advantage of every situation, leaving her with nothing but trouble. She didn't believe Xu Ran could expel anything worthwhile from his 'mouth of a dog'.
"You become my lover. I'll say nice things about you in front of Qian Renxue, to ease your relationship a bit. You're already clear on how much Xue'er hates you. There was even a time when Xue'er wanted me to help eliminate you! Without me mediating, you can only be enemies with Xue'er in the future," Xu Ran tilted his head and yawned.
In the original story, the reconciliation between Qian Renxue and Bi Bidong happened during the life-and-death separation in the battle of the Twin Gods, when Tang San became a Twin God and both faced life-threatening peril. Then, their bonds as flesh and blood allowed them to set aside their past grievances completely.
As the saying goes, adversity reveals true feelings.
It was like the time he, wounded by the Rakshasa God, deepened his relationships with the women, making them acutely aware of how dreadful it would be to lose him.
But now, the storyline has shifted, and the great battle between the Twin Gods won't occur. Without that kind of life-and-death mediation, their relationship, even if it doesn't deteriorate, will be just like strangers familiar with each other, the kind that doesn't even greet one another when they meet.
But Xu Ran had a way to make them open up to each other and, uh... cough cough, bond a few more times. Naturally, their affection would improve.
There's a saying, guys who visit brothels together are brothers.
Similarly, those who get... cough cough, that makes them sisters.
However, in that case, while their feelings might grow stronger, their relationship would change, becoming like sisters. It's just uncertain if Bi Bidong could accept that.
Xu Ran's naked gaze sized up Bi Bidong, who fell into silence.
Although Xu Ran's words infuriated her to the point of gritting her teeth, the thought of her relationship with Xue'er filled her with a sad longing.
In Xue'er's heart, there was only her grandfather, Qian Dao Liu, with no place for her. Even though she now regretted her past actions, the hurt she had inflicted upon Xue'er could never be erased.
By herself, she could never alleviate that hurt in this lifetime.
But Xu Ran, the bastard with an abundance of ill intentions, that scumbag surrounded by beauties, Xue'er surely knew that, but still, she ended up with Xu Ran. This showed just how cunning and powerful Xu Ran's tactics and thoughts were.
If Xu Ran helped, she felt fairly certain that she could ease her strained relationship with Xue'er.
"Xu Ran, what exactly do you want to do? Even if I, Bi Bidong, want to get closer to Xue'er. I'm not some harlot, nor will I let you manipulate me," Bi Bidong said coldly. Lovers, pah, the term felt strange. She was Bi Bidong, after all; how could she stoop so low?
"Well, how about this? From now on, you show me more respect when you're around me. We'll have a lover's relationship, but I won't boast about it. I will not go all the way with you, but you must satisfy me in every other aspect that lovers do. In return, I promise I'll improve your relationship with Xue'er. Of course, we start as good sisters," Xu Ran said with a smile.
"No way, that's a loss for me," Bi Bidong immediately shook her head. That's it? For such a price? No, that sounded totally unreliable.
Apart from that final step, what about Xu Ran's touching, squeezing, pinching, kneading, slapping...? So many methods, impossible to defend against all!
"I'll add another condition. I suppose, apart from Xue'er, the person most important to you must be Yu Xiaogang, right?" Xu Ran said leisurely. Dealing with a woman like Bi Bidong required a linked approach, even if she knew she was jumping into a pit.
"Xu Ran, what are you planning to do? Are you thinking of targeting Xiaogang? After all the bullying you've done to Xiaogang, what is it now?" Bi Bidong watched him with a cold gaze. Her heart tightened; Xu Ran was right, Xue'er and Xiaogang were whom she cared about the most.
"I can help Yu Xiaogang recover his Martial Soul and even assist him in cultivating again," Xu Ran said with a smirk, pulling out a golden sphere from his coat, within which seemed to be trapped the shadow of a golden dragon. This was Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul, which under the influence of Xu Ran's Ancestral Dragon had completely transformed into a Golden Holy Dragon.
But it was just an intangible energy form that could launch attacks under Xu Ran's stimulation, a sort of trump card.
Naturally, Xu Ran had no intention of actually helping Yu Xiaogang recover. After getting to the Martial Soul Hall, he'd probably bully Xiaogang a few more times under the pretense of restoring his Martial Soul. He wanted Xiaogang to experience the kind of despair that gives a bitter taste you can't voice. Later, while soaking up the companionship of Bi Bidong and snacking on the fruit she peeled for him, he envisioned watching Yu Xiaogang wallow in misery and daydreaming, which would definitely be a thrill.
