Chapter 172: It's Also Fine if Lord Xu Ran Takes an Interest in Me_1

"Lord Auspicious Beast, I have come from the Aquipeia Forest. I am tasked with inviting Lord Auspicious Beast to the Aquipeia Forest."

"With Lord Auspicious Beast's noble status, staying in the human world is too dangerous. Lord Auspicious Beast can only achieve better development in the Aquipeia Forest," Zi Ji stated directly. She didn't believe the Auspicious Beast would refuse her offer.

As an Auspicious Beast, which is a Soul Beast Emperor, arriving in the gathering place of soul beasts would grant a life akin to that of an emperor.

In the Aquipeia Forest, the status of an Auspicious Beast is even higher than these ferocious beasts. At that time, the Auspicious Beast could do whatever it wanted.

"Go to the Aquipeia Forest? To do what? I refuse," Xu Ran bluntly rejected.

"Lord Auspicious Beast. As the Soul Beast Emperor, if you go to the Aquipeia Forest, we will all serve you as our master and dare not show the slightest disrespect," Zi Ji's heart skipped a beat, as she hadn't anticipated the Auspicious Beast would refuse her.

"The Ice Emperor from the far northern lands said the same thing last time, but what of it?" Xu Ran spoke with a hint of a mischievous smile on his face.

"The Ice Emperor? The Ice Emperor had been here too?" Zi Ji's face changed slightly, her enchanting cheeks turning a tad pale. The Ice Emperor's strength was much greater than hers.

Moreover, the far northern lands have yet to produce an Auspicious Beast. If the Ice Emperor had come to invite the Auspicious Beast, it must have offered many benefits, yet still, the Auspicious Beast was not moved.

"Hmm," Xu Ran nodded and leisurely walked to Zi Ji's side, a faint fragrance drifting into his nostrils.

Zi Ji was probably a delicate rose with thorns all over in the Aquipeia Forest. But the more it was so, the greater the sense of achievement once conquered.

"By the way. My name in the human world is Xu Ran, you can call me by my name from now on. In the human world, do not reveal my identity as the Auspicious Beast."

"Lord Xu Ran, are you really not considering going to the Aquipeia Forest? As long as Lord Xu Ran agrees, we are willing to offer anything," Zi Ji uttered. Even without that person's command, she would have to try her best to keep him in the Aquipeia Forest after encountering the Auspicious Beast. Now with that person's command, it was even more so.

If she couldn't bring the Auspicious Beast back when she returned, she would face severe punishment.

In the Soul Beast Realm, a failure has no value.

Even though she was one of the Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts, she was exceedingly insignificant in front of that person.

Therefore, no matter what Xu Ran demanded, she would agree. The Auspicious Beast must be brought back to the Aquipeia Forest by her.

"Any price?" Xu Ran raised an eyebrow, his palm sliding over the black gown clinging to Zi Ji's body, his tone flirtatious.

"Of course. If Lord Xu Ran is interested in me, that is possible too," Zi Ji conceived a thought, casting a seductive look at Xu Ran. That bewitching and voice could seemingly tempt anyone to succumb, and only Xu Ran, the Auspicious Beast, could withstand it.

Especially since Zi Ji's voice carried the unique eeriness of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, letting one know she was a challenging hot pepper, yet still irresistibly pulled towards her.

Such a woman, both charming and wicked, could only be embraced by Xu Ran.

"Hmm?" Xu Ran looked at Zi Ji with some astonishment, not expecting her to be so forward. Even with the Auspicious Beast's supremely high status among soul beasts, there shouldn't be such a powerful temptation that would lead to a Mother Tyrannosaurus like Zi Ji throwing herself into his arms so readily.

After considering, it must be the mission from Gu Yuena that was pressuring her, hence the thought of using beauty to ensnare him. Moreover, the nature of a dragon is…

"Lord Xu Ran, Zi Ji has maintained her virginity for countless years," said Zi Ji seductively, boldly sliding her hand directly into Xu Ran's chest.

She knew that the Auspicious Beast had always been chastely indifferent, frigid towards carnal desires, uninterested in such matters.

Of course, there was another more important reason. At any given time, only one Auspicious Beast was typically born. And as the Soul Beast Emperor, the Auspicious Beast held itself in very high esteem, looking down upon other soul beasts of different bloodlines. Even if various ferocious beasts voluntarily offered themselves, employing numerous schemes to bear the Auspicious Beast's offspring, it was hard to stir its interest.

Therefore, she had no worries that the Auspicious Beast would do anything unsavory to her.

After all, in the eyes of the Auspicious Beast, her bloodline and body were probably filthy things.

Even if the Auspicious Beast took an interest in her and wanted to do something indecent, it wouldn't matter.

After all, to be a woman of the Auspicious Beast, surely the Auspicious Beast wouldn't stand idly by and watch his woman die under the heavenly tribulation in the future. She would then receive endless luck and aim for a higher realm.

Moreover, she was also curious about what the offspring of the evil, cold Hell Demon Dragon and the holy, luminous Auspicious Beast would look like.

"Lord Xu Ran..." continued Zi Ji with her enchantingly seductive voice, slightly bowing her body to highlight her already perfect figure even more.

Her eyes glanced over her figure, extremely satisfied. Such a voluptuous and lustrous body was indeed something that could enthral many of the fierce beasts in Aquipeia Forest.

"Worthy of the far-famed Zi Ji, seeing you today, indeed your reputation is well deserved," said Xu Ran, revealing a smile. Looking at the ample curves revealed after she leaned forward in her v-neck gown, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Then, Lord Xu Ran..." Zi Ji pretended to lie in Xu Ran's embrace, her soft body emanating a unique fragrance, temptingly sinful.

"However, just obediently stay by my side as my woman. Don't think about things you shouldn't be thinking about, got it?" Xu Ran pulled Zi Ji's delicate body into his embrace, pinching her cheek and said lightly.

Though Zi Ji was beautiful, possessing a unique temperament and charm that others didn't have, so what? That wasn't her license to be unrestrained before him.

She understood the reason Zi Ji actively threw herself at him was to entice him to go to Aquipeia Forest, which somewhat irritated him. Zi Ji should simply stay obediently by his side; he would give her everything she was due, not needing her to scheme for anything.

"Lord Xu Ran, I..." Zi Ji's complexion changed; she certainly didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Auspicious Beast.

"It's alright, you can make it up to me slowly in the future." Xu Ran planted a firm kiss on Zi Ji's cheek and his hands became even more audaciously intimate with her body.

With his fiery and seductive Hell Devil Dragon King, he naturally needed no gentleness.

As the Auspicious Beast, if he wished it, they should all obediently become his concubines.

In the Soul Beast Realm, things were not as roundabout as in the human world.

Brutally simple, they relished the excitement, they relished the thrill.

"Settle down somewhere in Soto City. Once I've made arrangements, I'll take a trip to Aquipeia Forest," he said, after kissing her. Xu Ran then harshly flung Zi Ji onto the sofa, glanced at her provocative posture lying there and spoke, before walking towards the outside.

He hadn't come back just to indulge with Zi Ji, or rather, to seek out Zi Ji for amusement. No matter how beautiful Zi Ji was, she couldn't compare to his longing for Zhu Qing and the others. At least, not yet.
