Chapter 516: Damn it, what the hell is Xu Ran's other identity?_1

"So Xu Ran, who was that woman last time? She seemed so fierce," Qian Renxue puckered her delicate little nose and asked curiously.

For some reason, even though she hadn't seen the woman make a move, she had a premonition that the woman's strength might be even greater than Xu Ran's.

"Her name is Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King," Xu Ran spoke. Naturally, he had no reason to be guarded around Qian Renxue. Moreover, since Gu Yuena had already been exposed to the eyes of the Divine Realm, there was no use in being secretive anymore.

Xu Ran only hoped that the Divine Realm would not act too quickly and would give him a little more time.

However, even if there wasn't enough time, he had other methods, but those might involve a cost that he could not easily control.

"Silver Dragon King? A soul beast?" Qian Renxue's pretty face changed slightly, she had not expected that the beautiful woman who looked like a fairy the other day could actually be a soul beast, and moreover, one of the noble Dragon Clan.

"That's right, and her strength should be on par with a God King level being. As the inheritor of the Angel God, you should know about Divine Kings," he added.

Originally, in the source material, Gu Yuena's strength was always at the peak of a First-Level God. However, in this world, her injuries were healed much earlier by Xu Ran, and with his Ancestral Dragon Blood's help and her earlier accumulation of power, the current Gu Yuena was naturally incomparable to the Gu Yuena of the original text.

"Divine King, I know. It's just that I find it hard to believe that she would be a powerful Divine King," Qian Renxue gasped in disbelief.

Divine Kings stood at the pinnacle of the world, being the strongest of the strong even in the Divine Realm, let alone on the Soul Land continent.

"One day, you too will be a Divine King. My Xue'er is so capable, isn't the level of a mere Divine King easily within reach?" Xu Ran teased, pulling Qian Renxue forcefully into his embrace, feeling her delicate and lovely body against him.

Qian Renxue's face flushed, even though it wasn't the first time she had been intimate with Xu Ran. But now, she had formally set aside her pride to stay by Xu Ran's side as his wife, which naturally produced a different feeling.

What made her more curious, though, was why Xu Ran confidently said she could become a Divine King when he knew the Angel God she inherited was only a First-Level God.

While the Angel's Martial Soul was envied by countless people, it doomed the end of their cultivation journey to the Angel God, making it impossible for them to progress further, whereas others had the potential to ascend to the height of the Asura God.

For ordinary people, even the status of a First-Level God was something they looked up to.

But for a genius like Qian Renxue, that might not be enough.

Qian Renxue was branded with the Angel's Martial Soul from a very young age, striving her whole life to inherit it. At that time, she didn't think much of it; after all, the godhood of the Angel God was also extremely powerful, a source of pride for her.

But as time went by, after she met Xu Ran and was impressed by his talents, she realized how ridiculous the thing she once took pride in was. With Xu Ran's talent, even with a Soul Sage's "Cultivation Level," he was able to slay the Rakshasa God, who was not inferior to the Angel God. So what would Xu Ran be like after he ascended to godhood?

Even if she became the Angel God, she couldn't compare to Xu Ran.

Now all she wanted was to be with Xu Ran, fighting side by side in the future rather than holding him back like last time.

"What's on your mind?" Xu Ran asked, gently stroking Qian Renxue's soft and noble golden hair, his tone becoming tender.

He knew that the pride in Qian Renxue's heart was deeply wounded last time when the Rakshasa God used her as a bargaining chip to threaten him.

Although their relationship had made great progress since that incident, and Qian Renxue didn't reject his flirtations anymore, he still liked that unique, proud, and noble Qian Renxue who resembled a golden phoenix.

In fact, with Xu Ran's strength, winning over these women would have been a breeze. He could even easily have Bi Bidong if he simply decided to take her by force.

Especially now that Bi Bidong's strength was sealed, it became even easier, almost effortless.

But what's the point of winning someone like that, who has lost their self, pride, and everything else, to become just a puppet of his, just a doll for him alone?

If he truly just wanted a beautiful, seductive, and alluring body, he could easily use his soul power to create one to serve him.

Although he was lascivious, what he truly liked about them was not just their bodies, but their personalities, their temperaments. Only all these factors combined could form a complete person, and that was what he wanted.

"Xu Ran, do you think I'm very inadequate? Even though I'm the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, with high talent and resources, I still can't compare to you all. I can't even compare to those girls by your side," Qian Renxue's golden eyes gazed at Xu Ran with a trace of sorrow. Due to Xu Ran's mentoring, the girls beside him had broken through to the Soul King level at just fourteen, an astounding feat.

This cultivation speed was not inferior to hers, and in fact, it was much stronger. She was certainly not just fourteen when she became a Soul King.

"How so? Our Xue'er is the best. Truly. Once you inherit the godhood, you will quickly become stronger. When you become the Angel God, see who can surpass my Xue'er."

"But it's not certain that I can become a god. Becoming a god is very difficult, and even though our Qian Family has the inheritance of the Angel God, over countless years, only a handful have inherited the godhood," Qian Renxue pouted. There have been many Popes in the Qian Family, none of them lacking in talent, yet even with her confidence, she was not absolutely certain she could inherit the godhood.

"Isn't that what your husband is here for? Don't shoulder everything alone; you're not by yourself, silly girl!" Xu Ran couldn't help but give Qian Renxue a flick on her forehead.

Qian Renxue had developed an independent character from a young age, and so she wasn't as clingy.

"How can you help me?" Qian Renxue became curious. It was plausible for Xu Ran to help enhance her strength, but godhood was not so simple.

"What if your husband can purify your Divine Light attribute, making you more compatible with the Angel's Martial Soul? Could you inherit the Angel God then?" Xu Ran smirked, in the original story Qian Renxue did inherit the Angel God, but at the cost of Qian Dao Liu's sacrifice to open the path to godhood for her.

But with him in this life, it was naturally not that troublesome.

"This..."

"If my attribute becomes purer, I'm confident I can inherit the Angel God," Qian Renxue grew excited, her large eyes filled with longing as they looked at Xu Ran.

"Watch closely, your husband has another identity," Xu Ran roared softly, and a series of Divine Light holy, peaceful auras emanated from him. Bathed in the golden light, Qian Renxue immediately let out a moan, feeling warm and extremely comfortable all over.

"Damn it. Why can't I see anything? Xu Ran, what are you up to? What is your other identity?" Bi Bidong, outside, had her curiosity piqued by Xu Ran's words and was itching to know his secret. Just as she thought she was about to find out, the window darkened, as if covered by a black film. It was completely obscured from view.

"Fine, keep your secrets then, stingy!" Bi Bidong bared her teeth, stomping on the table below her in frustration. Unable to see anything, she had no choice but to jump down and press her ear against the wall, trying to eavesdrop on some confidential matters.
