Chapter 155: Xu Ran's Thoughts, So Many Routines_1

Liu Erlong nodded slightly, no longer saying anything more, tacitly acquiescing to Xu Ran's actions.

She knew she could not expect Xu Ran to help Yu Xiaogang without offering something in return.

To heal a flawed Martial Soul and make it a normal one was no simple task, even for a powerhouse like Xu Ran.

"Headmaster Liu Erlong, what is so good about Brock that makes you so devoted to him, to the point of being willing to sacrifice yourself for him? How do you know that after you've given up so much, he will be grateful?" Xu Ran asked, holding Liu Erlong's small hand.

"There are some things that don't need to be said, as long as he can live well, that's enough."

"Furthermore, Brock is not the heartless man you are talking about," Liu Erlong frowned as she spoke. If one truly loves someone, why quibble over the little things? What does it matter if she gives a little more?

"Headmaster Liu Erlong truly is someone driven by her emotions. It's making me like you more and more," Xu Ran said, hugging Liu Erlong tighter. Although Xu Ran was young, he was tall, and even as Liu Erlong sat on his lap, her forehead only just reached his eyes.

"Lord Xu Ran, now would be a good time to fulfill your promise," Liu Erlong, feeling the firm embrace of the man's body, tensed up slightly. She couldn't help but speak up.

Xu Ran smiled and looked at Liu Erlong, who was obediently lying in his arms, and instead of teasing her any further, he took out a black box from his storage soul tool.

The box was small but was made of precious wood, and one could feel an extremely cool and soothing touch upon placing their palm on it.

"Inside this box is something that can cure Brock," Xu Ran said, handing the wooden box to Liu Erlong.

"What is this?" Liu Erlong opened the wooden box, and instantly, a faint exotic fragrance spread out, filling the room with its strange aroma in just a moment.

Over the years, Liu Erlong had played a hands-off role as the head of Blue Tyrant Academy.

During her secluded life, she'd grown many flowers and plants, along with precious medicinal herbs. To find a cure for Brock, she had come to understand the medicinal properties of plants.

That's why she was so astonished when she saw the medicinal herb that resembled a lingzhi mushroom.

She had never seen such a rich medicinal essence in any other herb before.

Was this the treasure that could remedy Brock's Martial Soul defect?

"This herb is called Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma. It's one of the rarest treasures in the world that can fill the gaps in Brock's Martial Soul," Xu Ran explained.

"Brock is from the direct bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it's only because of the mutation of his Martial Soul that it became the worthless Luo San Pao. By consuming this treasure, he might even have the chance to evolve a Golden Dragon Saint Martial Soul. Such a Martial Soul is far more powerful than that of a standard Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan member," Xu Ran added.

Of course, he didn't actually plan to help Brock recover.

The Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul was exceedingly rare and contained abundant Dragon Qi. If he extracted the Dragon Qi from Brock, he would receive a very generous reward.

Of course, he was unclear about what these rewards would be.

As for the future, System missy always played her cards close to the chest. The revelation would come when the time was right.

However, once he extracted the Dragon Qi from Brock's Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul, Brock would become completely useless. At that time, Brock would only believe that it was Liu Erlong who was harming him.

Brock would think that it was the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma given by Liu Erlong that ruined him.

And at that time, Xu Ran would still be holding Liu Erlong's slender waist, showing off to Brock.

Liu Erlong would follow his commands for the next two years, accompanying him to visit a heartbroken Brock. Such a request wasn't too much to ask, right?

But what would Brock think at that time?

Seeing them intimately hugging each other, Brock would probably think that Liu Erlong was in cahoots with him, deliberately coming to mess with him.

Countless thoughts swirled in Xu Ran's mind, and in a moment's time, he had planned out the entire scheme.

And all this was enough to infuriate Brock to the point of spitting blood.

The malicious intent of Xu Ran, Liu Erlong did not notice.

Liu Erlong carefully caressed the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma with her palm, her body quivering slightly as her fingers touched the surface of the herb, and her soul power also circulated faster at this moment.

This goes to show just how terrifying the medicinal effect of this treasure is.

"Thank you, Lord Xu Ran, for your gracious gift," Liu Erlong said as she closed the medicinal box and then put it into her storage soul tool.

"This is not something I've given to you, we're engaged in a transaction, there's no need for thanks. Don't you think?" Xu Ran said while stroking Liu Erlong's delicate cheek with his palm.

"You are right, Senior. But no matter what, I still have to thank you," Liu Erlong said with her head lowered, feeling the intense desire for possession emitting from the man before her.

One misstep and she might fall into a bottomless abyss, to be completely devoured by Xu Ran.

But she believed in herself, no matter how Xu Ran, Lord Xu Ran, tempted her, she would not respond or be moved by it.

"Hmm. For the next two years, you are mine."

"After two years, I might not care, but within these two years, I do not wish to see you getting too entangled with any other men, including Brock. What do you think I would do if I saw you with him, unclear in your relations?" Xu Ran said as he tucked Liu Erlong's hair behind her ear and leaned in close to her pale neck, whispering softly.

"Lord Xu Ran, please don't hurt Brock," Liu Erlong trembled violently, her face turning pale with fear at Xu Ran's words. It was only now that she truly understood that what belonged to Xu Ran was by no means easy to take.

Now that she had taken something from Xu Ran, she had to obey his rules.

Otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.

Xu Ran's strength was terrifying; no one in Tiandou City could stand against him, and the Blue Tyrant Academy was even less of a concern in his eyes. What if he made a move against them?

And Brock, if Lord Xu Ran struck at Brock, he would be powerless to fight back.

"What I can give out, I can naturally take back. If it really comes to that, I will take back my things doubly," Xu Ran said with a smile.

Liu Erlong's beautiful face became apprehensive, and she dared not harbor any more wishful thinking.

"Lord Xu Ran, I will not break my promise. Whatever you ask of me in the future, I will do," Liu Erlong said.

"Hmm, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You can go back to the academy for now. I don't need you at the moment," Xu Ran said. Mixing grace with authority was the best way to control a person.

"Hmm, then Erlong shall take her leave first," Liu Erlong stood up, saluted Xu Ran, and then quickly left.

Once out of the room, Liu Erlong felt somewhat faint, her body already drenched. She looked back towards Xu Ran's room, feeling a lingering fear. Dealing with someone like Xu Ran was by no means an easy task.

She was unclear whether her decision that day was good or bad, but it was too late to change anything now.

Two years, she just had to get through two years.
