Chapter 453: Is There Anything Wrong with Dressing Cool?_1

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Zi Ji, did you scare my Xiangxiang?"

Xu Ran appeared, took Bai Chenxiang's hand, and said. After receiving Gu Yuena's heartfelt confession, he was in a very good mood. With Gu Yuena's personality, she could only fall deeper in love.

Such was the charm of Xu Ran.

"How dare I? She's your official girlfriend. I should be honoring her." Zi Ji pouted and rolled her eyes.

"You are also someone I cherish, just the same." Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders; he treated all his women equally and never favored anyone.

"Xu Ran, what are you really – human, beast, or monster?" Bai Chenxiang pinched Xu Ran's arm, and seeing the familiar mischievous smile on his face, she relaxed a bit and asked curiously.

"No matter if I am human or monster, I am Xu Ran. You're not planning to run away now, are you? The entire Aquipeia Forest is under my control, all soul beasts obey my command, so don't even think about running away."

"Run away? No, I won't." Bai Chenxiang pouted and hugged Xu Ran's arm close to her. The forest was fraught with fierce beasts, each easily over five meters long, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to. And if she did manage to get out, encountering a soul beast like the Happy Ape would be terrifying.

"My identity is complicated, and I can't explain it all to you in a short time. But no matter what, our feelings for each other won't change, right?" Xu Ran's mouth curled up into a sly smile.

Looking at Bai Chenxiang's delicate and slender body, he couldn't help but have another bold idea.

Maybe his tastes had changed again recently; he had become defenseless against young girls like Bai Chenxiang, who was petite, fragile, and wore twin ponytails. Xu Ran used to prefer mature women like Liu Erlong.

Indeed, tastes cycle over time.

But in his "Harem", he had all sorts of flavors, and he could switch anytime his tastes changed. This way, he could maintain a sense of novelty among them.

"Mm. I belong to you, and unless you don't want me, I'll never leave you," Bai Chenxiang said affectionately, her beautiful eyes watery. Once a woman gives herself to you, she follows you like a chicken follows a rooster or a dog follows its master. Not to mention, Xu Ran's status as the king of The Soul Beast Realm made Bai Chenxiang extremely proud.

"Fantastic, tonight..." Seeing Bai Chenxiang so obedient, Xu Ran couldn't help but think of giving her some rewards.

"No, I don't, I'm scared." Bai Chenxiang just shook her head, her twin ponytails playfully swinging. She had always held a grudge against Xu Ran's roughness, and now knowing his true identity, she felt even more fearful.

With just a bit of Xu Ran's strength, she feared she'd be done for.

"Don't be afraid. I'll be very gentle," Xu Ran said, grabbing Bai Chenxiang's twin ponytails, pulling her towards himself, and planting a deep kiss.

With a girl like Bai Chenxiang, did Xu Ran really have no way to handle her? Naive!

Gu Yuena was not easy to woo, but Bai Chenxiang was completely at his mercy, hopelessly in love.

Yet, it felt like Xu Ran was walking farther down the path of becoming a scoundrel; in life, one should have less scheming and more sincerity.

However, Xu Ran was sincere with a mix of schemes. The scheming couldn't conceal his feelings for Bai Chenxiang. After all, if he weren't genuinely attracted to her, he wouldn't spend the effort to scheme.

"Wuwu. Don't pull my hair, or I'll make you go bald," Bai Chenxiang's face blushed like she was drunk, and seeing Zi Ji watching them kiss, she felt as if she were burning up.

In front of others, kissing Xu Ran was still a first for her.

"If she's bald, she's bald. My Xiangxiang is naturally beautiful; even if she were bald, she'd be a pretty baldie," Xu Ran said with a smile, having no resistance to Bai Chenxiang's pigtails.

"I don't want to become a baldie. If I go bald, you'll stop liking me. Hmph, men just like to use sweet words to deceive," Bai Chenxiang muttered. Xu Ran, this shameless lecher, loved to tug at her hair so much, if she really went bald, Xu Ran would surely lose interest.

A man's mouth, a liar's ghost.

"I'm telling the truth, and besides, with me here, how could you possibly go bald?" Xu Ran said. He had the Life Attribute, so no matter how much hair Bai Chenxiang lost, he could heal her and restore her to her original state.

"I don't believe you. You hadn't even told me your identity before, and you lured me to the Aquipeia Forest," Bai Chenxiang said with quiet resentment. She had been moved for a long time when Xu Ran gave her the attached soul bone, thinking Xu Ran had gone through great hardships to obtain it. Given Xu Ran's high status in The Soul Beast Realm, getting some soul bones was naturally not difficult.

"This is the last time; I won't deceive you next time."

"I won't believe you."

...

Zi Ji, seeing Xu Ran and Bai Chenxiang flirt and quarrel so intimately, couldn't help but feel envious. She too wanted to lie in Xu Ran's arms and act like a spoiled little girl.

Xu Ran and Bai Chenxiang went to rest in the room at the center of the Lake of Life.

Bai Chenxiang looked around curiously, clearly intrigued by this uniquely human building appearing in the middle of the soul beasts' gathering place in the Aquipeia Forest.

Meanwhile, Zi Ji went to cook with Bi Ji. Ever since Xu Ran had spoken to her that way last time, she took it to heart, guessing whether Zi Ji needed to learn some unique skills to capture Xu Ran's affection.

With so many beautiful women around Xu Ran, she needed some core competitiveness to stand out. It wouldn't do to be nothing but capable.

She was proud of her strength, which was formidable, but Xu Ran was even stronger, and in his eyes, their levels of strength were all similar; anyway, they were all weak. Being slightly weak or significantly weak made no difference to him.

"Xu Ran, has someone lived here before?" Bai Chenxiang asked as she checked the room, finding many girls' clothes in the wardrobe that seemed to fit her size and build. The clothes were rather revealing, including many items that made her blush.

Oh my, what kind of clothes are these two strings supposed to be?

When Bai Chenxiang opened the wardrobe door, she saw many epoch-making women's garments: hollow-outs, black silk, garter belts, passion split front...

When it was just Xu Ran and Xiaowu among them, there was no need to worry about the gaze of outsiders, and besides, nobody else knew about it.

Under Xu Ran's relentless coaxing and pester, at first Xiaowu and the others had been quite self-respecting, unanimously stating their disagreement.

Eventually, Xu Ran resorted to a divide and conquer strategy. He separated them, then said, "So-and-so also dresses like this for me to see," and slowly, their resolve shifted, and once the gap was opened, they had no choice but to let Xu Ran have his way.

"Cough cough. Xiaowu lived here before, and she forgot to tidy up," Xu Ran said with a sheepish smile, hearing Bai Chenxiang's hurried, surprised, and indignant voice, instantly realizing what Bai Chenxiang must have seen.

The Qing dynasty had already fallen.

As an epoch-making new woman, what's wrong with wearing some cooler clothes?
