"Damn, this really could kill an old man!"
Xu Ran's eyes bulged as he stared unblinkingly at Qian Renxue, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Qian Renxue had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.
If Qian Renxue was considered the most beautiful woman on earth before, then the current Qian Renxue was like a goddess descending from the heavens, stunning to behold.
Nobility, holiness, her extremely beautiful visage could devastate nations. A smile could topple states, another could bring down cities; that was probably how one would describe Qian Renxue.
Holiness and light are extremely righteous attributes, led by the Power of Destiny, continually tempering Qian Renxue's attributes and strength while also transforming her body.
This was something Xu Ran had not anticipated.
However, once he thought about the changes that had occurred between him and Wang Qiu'er, he understood.
During the Period of the Unparalleled Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao gained so much from the Auspicious Beast. Naturally, the benefits Qian Renxue could reap from him were even greater.
A two-hundred-thousand-year Cultivation Level of the Auspicious Beast was already defying the heavens.
What Xu Ran did not know was that he was currently conducting a sort of holy baptism ritual, through which the completion could easily change a person's talent and destiny. If Di Tian and the others saw how much Qian Renxue benefited with Xu Ran's help, their eyes would pop out.
A bit of the Power of Destiny could cancel out a big portion of their deadly tribulation power, helping them with their Tribulation; such immense Luck Power could allow one to pass the Tribulation lying down without much effort.
The Power of Destiny inside Xu Ran could change destiny. Such an abundant Power of Destiny providing a baptism for Qian Renxue would mean that she could turn misfortune into good fortune when facing dangers in the future; her Cultivation path would be smooth sailing.
However, Xu Ran's Auspicious Beast Bloodline was a creation of the System and, though incredibly powerful, many abilities within the bloodline required Xu Ran to slowly unearth on his own. Just like his Ancestral Dragon bloodline: the Ancestral Dragon was powerful, but for now, he could not fully control all of the Ancestral Dragon's strength.
Many features still needed to be slowly explored by him to be discovered, like this kind of baptism.
The effects of this might not necessarily be weaker than the Talent Enhancement Potion that Xu Ran received for completing missions before; they might even be stronger. However, this also had a considerable toll on Xu Ran. The most crucial point was the exceptional compatibility between Qian Renxue's attributes and Xu Ran's Auspicious Beast attributes, which is why it brought her so much benefit, otherwise, the effects would be negligible for others.
"Beautiful."
"So beautiful."
"Such beauty could even rival Gu Yuena."
Xu Ran couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. At this very moment, Qian Renxue in his heart was the most beautiful woman. With the infusion of attributes, Qian Renxue's charisma was simply unmatched—at least to Xu Ran, she was irresistibly attractive. Xu Ran favored such a woman.
Right then, Xu Ran was certain—Qian Renxue's beauty was no less than Gu Yuena's.
Of course, no matter how much Qian Renxue's appearance and temperament changed, she could not be more beautiful than Gu Yuena. After all, Gu Yuena's strength was apparent, her appearance was exquisite, her charisma extraordinary, her power supreme, and she possessed a unique aura only God level strong could have.
However, alas, Qian Renxue wasn't wearing any clothes at the moment. Such a Qian Renxue naturally ranked absolutely first in his heart.
Pah!
Vulgar!
Utterly and completely vulgar!
How could Xu Ran possibly be so vulgar? Was it Qian Renxue's body that Xu Ran liked? Clearly not. What Xu Ran liked was Qian Renxue's personality, her temperament, and that captivating, soul-snatching charm.
Xu Ran was definitely not a lecher, it's just that all the women he liked happened to be beautiful, which led to the misunderstanding that he was very lecherous.
"However, they've gotten even bigger." Xu Ran, as a man of integrity, was staring wide-eyed and earnestly observing the changes in Qian Renxue's body, refusing to miss even the slightest detail, fearful that any mistake on his part could result in fatal harm to her.
At this critical time of baptism, there absolutely could be no mistakes, one must watch carefully, watch from a close distance, and conveniently use both hands to caress Qian Renxue's delicate body to better inspect for any abnormalities on her.
"Worthy of being my woman, eh. Qian Renxue is probably going to break through to level eighty directly. I, Xu Ran, am simply the strongest cheat under the heavens." Xu Ran couldn't help feeling a bit smug.
A god can easily help a Soul Master break through to become a Titled Douluo.
As a God level strong, Xu Ran's cheats were either at God level or beyond. Under such circumstances, using his own cheats to help those around him naturally gives them a godlike boost.
"Tsk tsk, if this baptism continues, Xue'er might actually develop three supreme attributes." Xu Ran couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but then he thought about his own attributes, which were of the highest purity, and he was no longer surprised.
But what he now enjoyed the most wasn't the change in Qian Renxue's strength and "Cultivation Level"; no matter how strong Qian Renxue's abilities were, they couldn't surpass his own.
He only liked to look at beautiful women. Looking at beauties is good for one's health.
Watching Qian Renxue's noble and Holy demeanor, Xu Ran's heart was itching with desire. After the baptism, Qian Renxue's appearance, perhaps with the exception of being slightly less beautiful than Gu Yuena, stood out among all other women.
"The body hasn't healed yet, better not to look. This could really cost a person their life." After watching for a while, Xu Ran forcibly closed his eyes, refusing to look at Qian Renxue again. Looking was useless; Qian Renxue wasn't Ye Lingling, she wouldn't take the initiative to approach him with the sanctity of a Goddess.
At least, the current, yet-to-experience Qian Renxue was almost impossible.
However, his relationship with Qian Renxue was progressing rapidly, much faster than he had imagined; he wasn't particularly eager to "consume" her right now. Bite off more than one can chew, and one ends up not doing anything well. He still had Ye Lingling, whom he could devour for a long time. These days, he'd occasionally send Bi Bidong away and call Ye Lingling over, and Bi Bidong turned a blind eye to this, pretending not to see.
Even more so, Bi Bidong would deliberately stay far away, timing it so she could return after Xu Ran was done.
But time and again, she underestimated how long Xu Ran would take, standing outside until her legs were numb and sore, yet not daring to stray too far. Without her powers, afraid to leave Xu Ran's side, she worried... Xu Ran often told her about the beautiful women in Tiandou City being carried off and sold by local ruffians. Although she knew Xu Ran was just scaring her, she still felt a bit apprehensive.
Sometimes, seeing Xu Ran taking forever to finish, she could only curse under her breath outside, utterly helpless against him. What's crucial was that when she saw Xu Ran, her heart would curse MMP, but on the surface, she still had to show a gentle, sweet smile. Otherwise, when Xu Ran held her in his arms at night, he would reach into her clothes to punish her.
Utter shamelessness!
If only her powers weren't restrained, she'd give Xu Ran a proper lesson. Was she, as the Pope, really without any dignity?
