Chapter 142 Will Brother Xu Ran be good to Yue'er in the future?_1

"Brother Xu Ran, take Yue'er."

"Yue'er belongs to Brother Xu Ran, for my entire life."

Shui Yue'er looked at Xu Ran with a dazed and affectionate gaze, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

That was her nature: once she set her mind on something, even if she knew there was an abyss ahead, she wouldn't hesitate to leap into it. From the moment she saw Xu Ran, he'd drawn her in deeply, as if by magic.

Xu Ran's abilities, his appearance, were peerless. More importantly, Xu Ran had appeared before her at the age when girls fantasize about love, an impact unimaginable to her. At her age, Shui Yue'er was sensible but not yet mature, leaning more toward sentimentality than rationale. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation to commit such an unreasonable and shameful act while he was still unconscious.

Shui Yue'er wrapped her arms around Xu Ran's neck and kissed him without reservation.

"Okay." With a beauty in his arms offering herself, there was no need for him to refuse. He, Xu Ran, was no Liuxia Hui, who could remain unruffled in the face of temptation. His way was to follow his desires on the Soul Land Continent.

Xu Ran supported Shui Yue'er as they walked towards the bedroom.

...

Several hours passed, and everything returned to tranquility.

Xu Ran looked at the girl before him with a touch of pity, stroking her snow-white skin. Shui Yue'er and Bing'er shared a dormitory, and Shui Yue'er had to return tonight, so of course, he couldn't be too rough on her.

If he treated her like he did Ning Rongrong and the others, Shui Yue'er wouldn't be able to get up for a while.

"Brother Xu Ran, will you be good to me in the future?" Shui Yue'er curled up like a kitten in Xu Ran's arms, her pretty face showing a trace of weariness; but even in her fatigue, she couldn't sleep.

It had never occurred to her that a week ago she was just a carefree young girl, the darling of the Tian Shui Battle Team. But now, she had someone she liked, and had laid her most precious body before him with complete openness.

"I will." Xu Ran stated without hesitation, holding Shui Yue'er in his arms, covering them both with a thin silk blanket, shielding her bare skin.

"Oh. In the future, Yue'er will also serve Brother Xu Ran well. I don't ask for much, just to have a place in Brother Xu Ran's heart." Shui Yue'er spoke softly. Although she had developed a substantial relationship with Xu Ran, she knew all too well the vast gulf between them, a difference as stark as that between clouds and mud, enough to make anyone despair.

Her talents, her strength, were not outstanding; all she wished for was to become a close female confidante by Xu Ran's side. A powerful man like Xu Ran likely had numerous female companions, and she simply wished to be one of them.

As for anything else, she had no demands.

Because she knew that to truly be with Xu Ran, one had to be at least among the Continent's top Heaven's Proud Daughters.

"Don't worry. I'll give you a status, I won't just abandon you like this." Xu Ran teased Shui Yue'er's nose. He clearly understood what Shui Yue'er was thinking; although he couldn't give her the position of a lawful wife, there was certainly a place for her as a concubine.

Although he was fickle, he knew he must take responsibility for his actions.

Xu Ran hated irresponsible men the most.

Since he had taken Shui Yue'er's body, he would naturally take responsibility. How could he just leave her out there, only checking on her when he remembered, and ignoring her otherwise?

After all, he wouldn't have a shortage of wives in the future—one more wouldn't make a difference. Even though Shui Yue'er's talents were insufficient, and she didn't bring him any Skill Points rewards, he wasn't such a materialistic person.

"Thank you, Brother Xu Ran," Shui Yue'er said with a coy smile, her tired cheeks flushed with a touch of happiness.

"By the way, Brother Xu Ran, Auntie mentioned that you are a predecessor. Is that true? But I don't feel that way," Shui Yue'er asked curiously, drawing circles on Xu Ran's chest with her finger, her expression filled with anticipation. Although she didn't care about Xu Ran's age, wouldn't it be better if he was even more exceptional?

"Would you believe me if I told you I'm younger than you?" Xu Ran couldn't help but laugh. Not just Shui Yue'er, but Shui Bing'er, Shui Miao, and everyone else probably saw him as some old monster who had cultivated for hundreds of years.

The reason for his great strength was that he had used an Experience Card. But they didn't know about the Experience Card. In their eyes, even the most talented Soul Master would only break through to Titled Douluo at around forty or fifty years old, not to mention that Xu Ran's presence far exceeded that of a normal Titled Douluo.

"Brother Xu Ran, do you think I'm easily fooled?" Shui Yue'er pouted, her disbelief evident. Even if Brother Xu Ran was young, he couldn't possibly be younger than her.

"Really. My strength isn't as formidable as you imagine. I just have a Secret Technique that lets me temporarily reach a strength surpassing that of a Titled Douluo," Xu Ran said after a bit of thought.

"My Soul Power is only at the Soul Venerable level, but my combat ability is not bad. An average Soul Emperor would have a hard time dealing with me," Xu Ran said blandly. On the surface, it looked like that was all the strength he had, but his Skill Points held infinite possibilities.

"Really?" Shui Yue'er was initially thinking that Xu Ran was just teasing her, but seeing his expression, she couldn't help but ask excitedly, not looking like he was joking at all.

"Of course, it's true. Do you not believe me?" Xu Ran flicked Shui Yue'er's forehead lightly, chuckling as he spoke.

"But now, are you disappointed that my strength isn't as great as you imagined?" Xu Ran smiled.

"How could I be? Brother Xu Ran has always been the best in my heart," Shui Yue'er giggled, feeling no disappointment at all. Even if she wasn't aware of what trump cards Xu Ran held, she understood that if he could use such a terrifying Secret Technique at such a young age, his future accomplishments could even exceed her expectations.

Furthermore, Xu Ran had just said that with a Soul Venerable "Cultivation Level", he already possessed the combat strength of a Soul Emperor. The ability to fight across levels indicated a Soul Master's potential. Even if Xu Ran wasn't a peak power on the Continent now, he would be in the future.

"Just saying it isn't enough. You'll have to prove it with actions," Xu Ran said, feeling tempted again. Even though he had been restraining himself, how could such things truly be contained?

"No, Brother Xu Ran, I still have to go back later. If my sister notices something off, it won't be good. For now, I don't want to let my sister and the others know."

"But I have other ways to help Brother Xu Ran…" Shui Yue'er looked at Xu Ran with pleading eyes, then kneeled on his lap…
