Chapter 312 Xu Ran, Not Worth It_1

Ye Lingling felt a bit embarrassed being held by Xu Ran.

She had not expected that, besides Xu Ran, there would be someone else in the room. This made her feel somewhat out of place. After all, if it had been just Xu Ran, it wouldn't have mattered how he treated her. But with others present, it was different.

"Lingling, this is the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe," Xu Ran introduced to Ye Lingling.

"The Crown Prince?" Ye Lingling was startled, not expecting that the man before her was the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire. However, observing the extraordinary demeanor of the man, Ye Lingling understood. If not for being nurtured in luxury for a long time, one could definitely not possess such noble air.

Xu Ran's strength was so great, the people he knew were naturally among the top figures of the Continent.

"Lingling pays respects to the Crown Prince," Ye Lingling said with a slight bow to Qian Renxue.

"You needn't be overly courteous," was the reply.

"Brother Xu really has good fortune. To think he could take the current heir of the Nine-Heart Begonia Sect as a maidservant, even I, Xue Qinghe, in my status as Crown Prince, do not have such luck," Qian Renxue remarked, his gaze sizing up Ye Lingling.

In his heart, he was even making comparisons with Ye Lingling.

In terms of figure, she was a bit more voluptuous than Ye Lingling. Her looks were also slightly superior. As for other aspects... Qian Renxue thought to himself, and for some reason, he let out a sigh of relief.

Women are extremely conscious of their appearance, especially when facing another outstanding woman, naturally they like to compare. But in truth, there was another, more important reason.

"Brother Xue, you jest. As the Crown Prince, your imperial concubines, especially the ones like Lingling, could they even compare?" Xu Ran said, his lips curling up at the corner, catching Qian Renxue's murderous glance.

Qian Renxue, no matter how strong, was still an inexperienced girl.

Sooner or later, Qian Renxue would fall to him.

If a straight-laced guy like Tang San could do it, he certainly needed no mention.

"Hmm," Qian Renxue nodded, feeling irritated inside, and plopped down on a chair by the window. Even she didn't know why she got so angry every time she saw Xu Ran. Xu Ran was so detestable; whenever she saw him, it made her furiously angry inside. But if he left, she missed him desperately.

This strange feeling made her wish she could slap herself twice.

Xu Ran was not worth it.

Xu Ran sat down opposite Qian Renxue, holding Ye Lingling in his lap. Ye Lingling had a very nice figure, soft to hold, and flexible as if she had no bones. This must be a trait unique to support-class Soul Masters. Rongrong was the same, with a body soft and pliable, as if boneless.

Support-class Soul Masters, after all, do not need to engage in direct combat or undertake highly intensive training, so their bodies are naturally softer and their skin more delicate.

Ye Lingling sat on Xu Ran's lap, her small hands gently massaging him. Although this posture didn't allow her to exert much strength, in these past two days, she had grown accustomed to serving Xu Ran.

Besides, in such an awkward situation, she couldn't just lie in Xu Ran's arms doing nothing. How awkward that would be.

"Brother Xue, you should be happier and smile more when you come here from outside," Xu Ran said as his palm caressed Ye Lingling's back, a gentle softness washing over him. Hearing Xu Ran's words, Qian Renxue forced a smile, stretching her mouth into a grin.

Xu Ran held such a beautiful woman in his arms, the successor of Nine-Heart Begonia Sect, an existence like Heaven's Proud Daughters, naturally, he was delighted. She even began to suspect whether Xu Ran had asked her out just to show her off?

It's not like Martial Soul Hall is short of beauties.

"Brother Xue, don't be anxious, I've arranged everything for you, all decent families," Xu Ran said as he snapped his fingers.

At the sound of Xu Ran's snapping, more than a dozen girls with beauty blooming like flowers walked in, wearing tight long dresses, and stood by the wall, bowing in greeting.

"Greetings to both great personages," the dozen or so girls said respectfully. They looked at Xu Ran and Qian Renxue in front of them, and their hearts relaxed slightly, even their eyes showed a flash of amazement.

They could naturally perceive the extraordinary bearing of the two before them.

"Brother Xue, who do you fancy? Just pick. Just remember, they all are from decent families, and you can't bring them back to the Crown Prince's Mansion," Xu Ran said.

"Brother Xu, this isn't proper. We're here to discuss important matters," Qian Renxue said, her expression freezing and her face turning green, suddenly regretting that she had followed Xu Ran out.

This Xu Ran, an utter scoundrel, was indeed no good, but with his talent, a mere wave of his hand could indeed attract a group of finely-figured women. Of course, with Xu Ran's unprecedented talent, it was normal for him to attract many young girls.

"A little play while we talk. How could a man's side be without beauties and fine wine?" Xu Ran laughed. Seeing Qian Renxue getting angry was also a kind of enjoyment.

Qian Renxue was extremely cunning, having disguised herself in Tiandou City for many years, her true identity undetected by anyone. With Innate Twenty Soul Force and when she awakened her Martial Soul, she was acclaimed as the one in Martial Soul Hall most likely to ascend to godhood.

Such Qian Renxue could be called an incomparable enchantress.

If one would exclude Tang San and Xu Ran, those two who had cheated their way to enjoy life in Soul Land, Qian Renxue's talent was undoubtedly the most top-notch. Her Angelic Martial Soul, with Innate Twenty Soul Force and her perfect harmony with the Angelic Martial Soul, plus the Qian Family's control over the God of Angels' inheritance for generations. It can be said, barring any accidents, Qian Renxue was bound to become a god.

Others, even Bi Bidong, would need to pay some price to become gods, but Qian Renxue was almost a certainty, her extraordinariness reaching its extreme.

However, as strong as Qian Renxue's talent was, her limit was also very clear. Blessed with the Martial Soul from the gods, possessing the Angel's Martial Soul, her limit could only be a First-Level God, the God of Angels.

"You make sense, I'll pick you," Qian Renxue said, pointing at a petite and delicate-looking girl by the wall, summoning her over and holding her in her arms, just like Xu Ran.

But she felt no enjoyment at all.

After all, she too was a woman, how could she find any pleasure holding a young girl?

Yet the girl was extremely proactive, knowing she might be in the presence of an important figure, she wrapped her arms around Qian Renxue's neck while pouring wine for her. Qian Renxue's body was rigid as she held her, her heart filled with frustration.

Qian Renxue, no matter what she did, was able to control everything in her hands. But in the hands of Xu Ran, she was always passive.

"Brother Xu, can we speak about serious matters now?"

"My Tiandou Empire and your nation have always had some friction. Now, if we are to form an alliance, we must first resolve past conflicts. It's simply a matter of transforming those past issues from martial confrontation to peaceful resolution..." Qian Renxue did not want to continue like this and went straight to discussing state affairs. He was the Crown Prince, and Xu Ran was the envoy from Xingluo Empire; negotiating the diplomatic relations between their nations was what they were supposed to resolve.
