"Don't move, or I'll deal with you right now," she said, trying to rile me up.
Xu Ran looked up, his profound eyes gazing at the woman in front of him who was baring her teeth and brandishing her claws. His lips curled upwards. Stripped of her Papal robes, Bi Bidong was actually quite nice—if only she wasn't always screaming about fighting and killing.
But then again, hitting is affection, cursing is love. That, she could accept.
Women of this world, no matter how much they cursed, couldn't come up with any truly bad words.
Unlike in my previous life, where those women could curse someone out so viciously that you couldn't help but want to teach them a lesson.
However, the ladies of Soul Land, no matter how enraged, could only spew: shameless, bastard, scoundrel, hooligan… For Xu Ran, who was seasoned by his past life experiences, this was not only bearable but somehow had its own unique charm.
"Dare to try, you don't have the capability now." Bi Bidong wriggled her enticing body, hands twisted by Xu Ran and legs pinned underneath him, completely immobilized.
Without her strength, Bi Bidong was just a powerless little woman, completely harmless.
"Are you sure I don't have that capability? When you had your strength, indeed I did not. But now, you're just an ordinary person. Over these ten days, I can do whatever I please—even in that regard—everything is possible if I want it to be."
"You're shameless, I shouldn't have agreed to this," she said.
Bi Bidong was on the verge of tears, desperately struggling but utterly ineffectual.
She had assumed Xu Ran was gravely injured, but she never expected Gu Yuena to be able to seal her Soul Power. Despite her robust physique and status as a Titled Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, even without Unleashing her Martial Soul, she had immense power. But it was impossible without resorting to physical strength and not utilizing Soul Power.
Unable to use even a shred of Soul Power, she had become an ordinary person.
And she had to endure this life for ten more days!
Heavens!
Only heaven knew what unreasonable things Xu Ran would do to her during these ten days.
The key was that she couldn't leave Xu Ran now. Staying by his side, at least she could ensure her own safety. If she escaped and, without her powers, ventured outside, she'd definitely be in great danger.
Besides, if she dared to run and that madwoman Gu Yuena caught her and brought her back, there was no telling what methods she would use to bully her.
"If you behave, naturally I won't bully you too much." Xu Ran stretched out his hand, pulling Bi Bidong closer, and stared intently at her stunning beauty. "Don't you think so, my beauty?"
Bi Bidong felt flustered under Xu Ran's gaze. Although he was domineering, she couldn't deny that Xu Ran was the most handsome and dashing man she had seen in all her years.
The heavens must have been blind to give such good looks to a scoundrel like Xu Ran.
"It's only ten days, I can endure it!"
"But I warn you, don't you dare put your hands inside my clothes, or don't blame me for turning my back on you," Bi Bidong said. If she could just stomach the humiliation and get through these days, things would be different once she regained her strength.
"Putting my hands inside is not allowed, but what if I don't put them inside?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new world.
That meant he could possibly…
Of course, he wouldn't go too far; after all, if Bi Bidong genuinely got angry, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
Xu Ran truly wasn't someone shameless to the extreme; he absolutely couldn't allow Bi Bidong to harbor any doubts about that.
At most, he was just being a little more audacious.
"I advise you not to go too far, so that ten days from now when I leave, I can still spare your life. Otherwise, once I return to Martial Soul Hall, your death will be upon you." Bi Bidong was furious; Xu Ran's shamelessness knew no bounds. Even through clothing, could he still be so worked up—was Xu Ran a beast?
"Are you suggesting that once you leave, you'll continue planning to kill me?"
"Hmph, what did you think? If you're scared, then release me quickly. That way, I might still leave you a sliver of a life. My word is as good as gold—I do what I say," Bi Bidong said self-satisfactorily, thinking Xu Ran was scared and thus felt more grounded.
She was the Spirit Hall Pope; how could she be so demeaned in front of Xu Ran.
If word got out, wouldn't her lifetime of glory be ruined?
"So that's your plan."
"Na'er. Someone is plotting against your husband."
Xu Ran nodded in agreement, then tilted his head back and, pulling at his throat, shouted towards the outside.
In Bi Bidong's eyes right now, Gu Yuena was definitely the most terrifying.
"Don't, don't shout, please don't shout. Are you even a man, hiding behind a woman like that?" Bi Bidong, seeing Xu Ran shout so loudly and calling Gu Yuena's name, shuddered all over and quickly reached to cover Xu Ran's mouth.
Gu Yuena was a deity, and the vengeful, ruthless kind at that. Provoking Xu Ran might not do much, but provoking Gu Yuena, she certainly wouldn't get off easily.
A deity's promises are golden; she had previously agreed to punishment.
"What's wrong with hiding behind a woman? Having a goddess for a wife is my ability. What's the matter, I can't use it? Most importantly, you still want to kill me, so naturally, I need to ask Na'er for help.
"Or maybe let Na'er permanently cripple your 'Cultivation Level.' Then you can accompany me forever." As Xu Ran spoke, he revealed an honest smile.
He really was magnanimous, wasn't he.
"Stop, stop shouting, isn't my pleading enough?"
"What I just said was in the heat of anger. Right now, I couldn't be more grateful to you. If it weren't for Young Master Xu Ran's generosity, I wouldn't be alive, let alone lying intact in the young master's bed," Bi Bidong said hurriedly, afraid Xu Ran would call Gu Yuena over. She despised Gu Yuena, even hated her passionately, but at this moment, their strengths were worlds apart. When someday she achieved divinity, then she would settle scores with Gu Yuena.
Especially since Xu Ran was thinking of crippling her 'Cultivation Level.' Just the thought was despairing. Gu Yuena was a deity and undoubtedly had the power to do so.
Without her abilities, she might as well be dead.
"Grateful to me? Then tell me, what do you think of me in your heart?" Xu Ran chuckled, taking the opportunity to cop a feel, but the anxious Bi Bidong didn't notice. Even if she did, it wouldn't matter, since without her power, she couldn't control Xu Ran.
"Young Master Xu Ran is handsome and dashing, generous and righteous, a true gentleman…" Bi Bidong kept flattering Xu Ran, but she was not good at lying, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes betrayed her wish to tear Xu Ran to pieces.
However, Xu Ran enjoyed bullying Bi Bidong, savoring a different kind of pleasure.
After all, she wasn't his wife right now, so bullying her a little was harmless; he didn't have to take responsibility after having his way with her.
"See, that's more like it. Let's sleep now. If you take good care of me, maybe I'll have a surprise for you in ten days," Xu Ran said while caressing Bi Bidong's waist and yawning.
"Who believes you have any surprises, just so long as it's not a scare," Bi Bidong muttered under her breath, and seeing Xu Ran seemingly about to fall asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to Xu Ran's breathing, Bi Bidong lay down quietly, not daring to fall deeply asleep like he did. What if Xu Ran launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night, taking advantage of her?
The damned Xu Ran, once she returned to Martial Soul Hall, she would make him pay dearly.
