Chapter 461: Xu Ran, Why Are You So Good_1

When Xu Ran returned, Bai Chenxiang paused and looked out, shivering with a look of surprise and doubt in her eyes.

She seemed to have heard some terrible sounds, the kind of agonizing screams that could make one's scalp tingle. Although it seemed to be a man's voice, the cries were just like the ones she made when Xu Ran teased her.

Being able to hear it from such a distance was enough to show the excruciating torment Tang San was enduring at that moment.

"Stinky Xu Ran, making me wear it again, and then running off as soon as I'm dressed," Bai Chenxiang muttered to herself as she sneakily took out the clothes from Xiaowu's wardrobe after Xu Ran had left.

Originally, she didn't want to show them to Xu Ran. After all, those skirts were a bit too short.

Even the trousers had slits in them—Bai Chenxiang didn't understand why. Perhaps it was for convenience's sake.

At this moment, Bai Chenxiang had changed into a black miniskirt, the hem of which was so short it barely reached a third of the way down her thighs, wrapping her white and shapely legs in a pair of long fishnet stockings.

Her long, straight, and well-rounded legs, capped with a pair of pink women's slippers, indeed presented a different flavor.

"Eh?" When Xu Ran came back from outside and saw Bai Chenxiang, his eyes flashed with amazement.

Bai Chenxiang and Xiaowu had many things in common. One liked pigtails, the other scorpion braids; both were slender, long-legged, and fair-skinned.

"Have you had a good look? I'm leaving now," Bai Chenxiang said, a touch of red coloring her cheeks. She had never worn such clothes before, especially not such a short miniskirt. She had to hold the skirt's hem when she walked.

She didn't even dare to walk too fast or take too wide steps, for fear that it would expose too much...

Such skirts were just too short, and the stockings were mesh, offering no warmth, useful for nothing but their appearance. These clothes were clearly not very serious.

"Thinking of running? Can you escape?" Xu Ran chuckled wickedly, grabbing Bai Chenxiang's hand and pulling her into his embrace. Bai Chenxiang had a very nice figure, not plump, but compared to her slender build, still quite substantial.

Bai Chenxiang was a speed-type Soul Master; having a heavier build would not be conducive to running.

"Stinky Xu Ran, you jerk," Bai Chenxiang's cheeks turned bright red, and even her neck blushed with shyness and annoyance. Her heart pounded furiously. She had known that with Xu Ran's lecherous nature, if she wore the clothes from the wardrobe, he would never let her go.

However, in her heart, she didn't really want to escape. It was just a symbolic polite gesture before she nestled into Xu Ran's embrace.

It was like when someone gave you New Year's money as a child: you'd say no thanks with your mouth, but inside you were afraid they'd take it back, hurriedly taking it and stashing it in your pocket after a bit of courtesy.

"It's just what you like. You say no with your mouth, but your body is very honest."

"I did not, you're slandering me," Bai Chenxiang's face turned red as Xu Ran poked through her facade, feeling a mix of shyness and annoyance as she hammered her fists against Xu Ran's chest.

"Alright, let's pretend you didn't. From now on, wear this only when the two of us are alone. We'll go for a swim in the Lake of Life later," Xu Ran said, his eyes twinkling. Swimming in the Lake of Life could also cleanse the body and was beneficial for one's health.

Underneath the Lake of Life lay a vast vein of life-giving metal, which irrigated the entire Aquipeia Forest, enabling it to grow rapidly.

"You're such a pervert," Bai Chenxiang pouted.

"By the way, what were you doing just now? I even heard someone screaming, it was really scary," Bai Chenxiang, sitting on Xu Ran's lap, swayed her legs back and forth and suddenly asked.

"Tang San came just now."

"Tang San? What did he come for?" Bai Chenxiang asked in surprise.

"He was here to obtain a Soul Ring. He ran into danger just now, and I went to help him out. I've also arranged for soul beasts to accompany him in his training. It's beneficial for his 'Cultivation Level' and will also temper his personality." Xu Ran said with a smile. Given the terrifying nature of those soul beasts, Tang San's character would certainly be well-honed.

And with his instructions, Tang San wouldn't be in any life-threatening danger.

However, what exactly they would encounter, he didn't know.

"Xu Ran, why are you being so nice, even repaying evil with kindness?" Bai Chenxiang lay in Xu Ran's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, feeling extremely contented inside, and was especially admiring of Xu Ran.

There might be many powerful individuals in the world, but there aren't many like Xu Ran who could remain strong and still keep a kind heart.

"Human nature is initially good at birth. People aren't born evil. I still hope Tang San can be a good person," Xu Ran said. Even though he had taken Xiaowu, Bai Chenxiang, Lan'er, Tang Yuehua, and he had even killed Tang Hao and was preparing to kill Tang Xiao and Tang Chen, he still hoped Tang San could be a good person.

How he wished Tang San would stay true to his heart and not oppose him. Opposing him never ended well.

"What a pity, Tang San is already rotten to the core, having stolen your hidden weapons and treated you so badly," Bai Chenxiang pouted.

"When you go to Tiandou City someday, I'll teach you how to make hidden weapons," Xu Ran said, as his hand roamed naughtily up Bai Chenxiang's fishnet-clad beautiful legs.

"Before that though..."

"Xu Ran, no, you can't, you bad boy!" Bai Chenxiang's body went limp, her pretty face flushed red, but her hands instinctively wrapped around Xu Ran's neck.

"Be gentle," Bai Chenxiang murmured lowly, remembering Xu Ran's rough manner before. Even though she liked the way Xu Ran was infatuated with her, it was still too painful.

"Alright," Xu Ran said seriously, and he kissed Bai Chenxiang deeply.

...

While Xu Ran was enjoying the warmth of his beautiful companion, on the other side, inside a gloomy dark cave, Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Titan were all letting out shrill screams of agony.

The bodies of the soul beasts, as one might imagine, were something humans couldn't bear.

But thankfully, the apes, especially the Huanhuan Yuan, weren't very large, which made it at least bearable for Tang San and the others, and there wasn't a risk to their lives.

Even so, Tang San and the others kept cursing out loud.

"Xu Ran, I, Tang San, will one day carve you into pieces. You won't die a good death."

"Xu Ran, just wait until I get out of here and let Dong'er take care of you. My Dong'er is the Pope, with a high status. To deal with you, she'll only need one toe. Then you'll see how formidable Dong'er is. My Dong'er is very strong and capable."

"Xu Ran, my Strength Clan will never rest until we've settled our grudge with you!"

Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and Titan kept on wailing miserably, their hearts filled with an extreme hatred towards Xu Ran. It was all Xu Ran's fault. If not for him, how could they have been captured and brought to this dark place to live a life worse than a duck's?
