Chapter 195 Another Mission Comes, Massage. _1

"Stinky Xu Ran, wake up already." Early in the morning, Xiaowu woke up and, seeing her own disheveled appearance, she immediately raised her little fist and gently hammered on Xu Ran's chest, though her strength was very minimal, almost as if she were giving Xu Ran another massage.

Xiaowu's pretty face blushed as she looked at the grass that had been wrecked by their antics, feeling even more shy.

Stinky Xu Ran, such a bad guy.

Although Xu Ran had invited her to enjoy the scenery from the mountaintop, what kind of scenery did they watch? They hadn't seen any scenery, but instead...

Stinky Xu Ran, such a bad guy, always thinking of those naughty things.

Even though all men around the world like to think of such things, Xu Ran not only thinks about them but also puts them into practice. Such a bad guy...

"We can sleep a little longer. The air here is so fresh." Xu Ran yawned and squinted his eyes as he spoke.

And indeed, the air here was truly fresh, refreshing to the heart and soul.

Moreover, the air flowed quickly, so no matter what happened, it would be swept away by the wind, leaving no trace behind.

"Stinky Xu Ran, shameless..." Xiaowu, with cheeks blushing, seeing Xu Ran looking so content, felt like giving him a few kicks. Xu Ran, on the other hand, was comfortably spread out...

Xiaowu looked down at her stockings, the bright silver material now stained with the color of the grass, and her pink dress was the same. Continuing to wear this outfit would probably subject her to teasing by Zhu Qing and Rongrong when she got back.

Especially Rongrong, who hadn't experienced anything yet seemed to know so much, always teasing her so boldly each time.

She'll see how Rongrong handles it when she can't get out of bed one day.

"In a few days, we are going to Aquipeia Forest," Xu Ran said, half-closed eyes now wide open as he looked at Xiaowu, who had already sat on a clean rock preparing to change her stockings.

"Aquipeia Forest? What are we going there for?" Xiaowu blinked her beautiful eyes, sitting on a rock with her hair slightly disheveled, holding a pair of stockings with little white rabbit patterns above the knee, curiously looking at Xu Ran.

"Of course, to get you a Soul Ring. Although you can produce your own Soul Rings, if you suddenly pop out a Soul Ring in front of Flander and the others, wouldn't that scare them to death?" Xu Ran chuckled, continuing to squint appreciatively at Xiaowu as she put on her stockings.

Because she had just woken up, her dress was in disarray, and her hair was messy, which gave her a natural beauty that was more attractive than when she was neatly groomed. This kind of natural beauty was most enticing.

Xiaowu, seeing Xu Ran's gaze, wasn't very shy; she had long been accustomed to his look.

"Hmph, if my suddenly popping out a Soul Ring could scare the Dean and the others, then haven't they been scared to death by you already?" Xiaowu shot Xu Ran an annoyed glance, her eyes carrying an innocent charm.

Xu Ran was so strong, he had done countless shocking things in front of Flander and the others.

Even if she were to suddenly pop out a Soul Ring in front of Dean Flender and the others, they probably wouldn't be too surprised.

After all, with the monster Xu Ran setting the precedent, a bit of oddity from her wouldn't matter.

"We still need to make the trip. Even though you have ingested the Acacia Red, you must still be cautious, especially with Tang San. Tang San is despicable and shameless, with extremely underhanded methods. If he gets hold of some leverage and publicizes that we are soul beasts, it's going to be troublesome," Xu Ran laughed, nonchalantly pinning another charge on Tang San.

"Mhm, that's true. Tang San is such a bad guy. We could easily fall into one of Tang San's traps if we're not careful," Xiaowu nodded in agreement.

This time, Tang San tried to prevent her from consuming the Acacia Red, not wanting her to be able to hide her soul beast aura forever. As a result, Xu Ran beat him up. It was always Tang San who caused trouble, yet in the end, he even slandered Xu Ran.

Such behavior was truly shameless to the utmost.

Even when Tang San was completely in the wrong, he could act so shamelessly. What would happen if Tang San really got a hold of some leverage? Would he not ascend to the heavens?

But the innocent Xiaowu still didn't know that Tang San had been utterly tricked by Xu Ran. From the beginning until now, Tang San had been completely led by the nose by Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was indeed despicable and shameless.

But so what? In this world, only results mattered, not the process.

No matter how good the process was, if the outcome was wrong, it was a grave mistake.

If the outcome was right, even if the process was a complete mess, what of it?

And his deceit could only be considered a well-intentioned lie.

In the past, elementary school moral education classes taught that well-intentioned lies are beautiful.

Tang San had caused Xiaowu great suffering. He had led to her sacrifice, to the sacrifice of her only two friends, and in the end, he had neither avenged her nor resurrected her mother. The outcome was Xiaowu turning into the sheath of Tang San's Asura God's sword, treated like an object...

Whether Tang San intended it or not, this was no reason for him to hurt Xiaowu.

Even if Xiaowu had stayed by Tang San's side, she would have been hurt all over.

In the end, besides being with Tang San, she gained no advantage. Was this what Tang San called love?

If a man couldn't protect the woman by his side, what good was a strong talent? He was nothing but a little brother.

"Xu Ran, what are you thinking about?" Xiaowu blinked her eyes and looked into Xu Ran's eyes. She could see a strong protective desire in them, which softened her heart considerably.

In the world, only he and her mother would protect her at all costs. Sadly, her mother was gone, and now she only had Xu Ran...

"Once we return to the Aquipeia Forest, I will announce that you are my woman. From that moment on, no one in the Aquipeia Forest will dare to look down on you, even if you are a soul beast who has re-cultivated to Transform," Xu Ran said.

He knew the Soul Beast Clan looked down on hundred-thousand-year soul beast like Xiaowu who had re-cultivated to Transform. But with him around, no one would dare to disrespect Xiaowu.

"Mhm," Xiaowu smiled beautifully, revealing her lovely visage. Perhaps she would have cared about these matters in the past, but now she cared much less. Having Xu Ran in her life was all that mattered.

"But, if you return to the Aquipeia Forest, might those ferocious beasts..." Xiaowu frowned slightly, her brows knitting with concern. She didn't fully understand the prestige of the Auspicious Beast among the Soul Beast Realm. She worried that if they went to the Aquipeia Forest, those ferocious beasts might not let Xu Ran leave.

"What the Auspicious Beast wants to do is not something they can stop. And in Soto City, there's a ferocious beast that's been waiting for me. It wouldn't be appropriate not to go," Xu Ran shook his head. Back in Dou Er, when the Auspicious Beast Transformed and ventured to the human world, Di Tian and the others didn't put up much resistance. Or rather, they couldn't resist, as no one wanted to court disaster.

"Has a ferocious beast come looking for you?" Xiaowu was shocked. As she adjusted her dress, she asked in astonishment.

"Mhm, Zi Ji from the Hell Demon Dragon Clan. When I went back to Soto City before, she came to find me. But don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen," Xu Ran said with a smile, walking beside Xiaowu and combing her long hair.

And in his mind, he was still thinking about Bi Ji of the Aquipeia Forest, the Auspicious Beast, and Gu Yuena. This trip to the Aquipeia Forest might provide him with quite a lot of gains.

"Ding, congratulations to the 'Host' on obtaining a sign-in mission."

"Ding, sign in front of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena."

"Ding, mission reward: One thousand Skill Points, Divine-level Massage Technique."

"Divine-level Massage Technique: This will max out the 'Host's' massage skill proficiency, endowing the 'Host' with the most top-notch medical massage techniques, which can make the recipient very comfortable and can treat most difficult and miscellaneous diseases, alleviating pain..."
