People are filled with emotions and desires, how can a girl withstand such seduction?

Even if she were only watching from a distance, she would have deep feelings, let alone a young girl who is caught up in it and unable to extricate herself. Wouldn't she fall for Xu Ran hopelessly?

A girl's view of love is very simple, loving someone means giving her all to him. Even if he doesn't make any major mistakes, she won't leave him.

The men of Soul Land mostly lack Xu Ran's ability to make girls happy; although flirtatious, he can make them feel comfortable and not too distressed, just the right amount, keeping them constantly thinking about Xu Ran. Besides Xu Ran, it's unlikely that anyone else could give them the same feelings.

This perhaps is the reason why so many talented young women would rather share a husband with others than not be with Xu Ran.

Suddenly, the image of Yu Xiaogang flashed through her mind.

Compared to Xu Ran, Yu Xiaogang seemed utterly insignificant.

Xu Ran is handsome while Yu Xiaogang is now old and no longer attractive, showing signs of aging in middle age.

In terms of talent, Xu Ran excels in music, able to perform harmoniously with the Principal of Yue Xuan. Even his musical prowess surpasses that of Tang Yuehua.

In terms of strength, Xu Ran is one of the top fighters on the Continent, and even she is no match for him.

In terms of character... although Xu Ran is flirtatious, his conduct has always been good. Although she always calls him a womanizer, she has never been substantially hurt while by his side. While Xu Ran always takes liberties with her, never acting serious and even likes to sneak his hands into her sleeves to play, he has always stopped short of going further, keeping his promises.

If it were someone else, when she was powerless, they would definitely have taken advantage of her.

She is the Spirit Hall Pope, and gaining her is like gaining half of the Soul Hall. Such temptation, for the average man, would likely lead them to do anything. Not just taking her by force, but also resorting to vile and terrifying punishments to make her submit.

Yet, Xu Ran did none of that.

Xu Ran even promised to help ease the tensions between her and Xue'er, promised to return Brock's Martial Soul to him, and even promised to help her ascend to godhood...

In an instant, Bi Bidong felt as if she understood everything.

All the wickedness displayed by Xu Ran was intentionally shown to her.

In reality, Xu Ran just wanted her to wholeheartedly accept his help...

If she continues with Xu Ran's plans, not only will she receive his help, but she might even come to resent Xu Ran. What then would Xu Ran gain?

Bi Bidong was stunned.

Her mind opened up in an instant.

"Xu Ran... are you really that careless and carefree?"

"What lies beneath that seemingly flamboyant and unruly face? Is it kindness, sincerity, or something else..."

Bi Bidong sighed with a bitter smile, looking at Xu Ran's slender figure, suddenly feeling a pang of heartache.

Xu Ran might actually be a genuinely good person, with a noble spirit and high morals, only masquerading as a cynic to disguise himself. Everything Xu Ran did before was to help her.

At least, the current outcome is all for her benefit. She has gained many of Xu Ran's promises without giving anything in return. Doesn't this alone speak volumes of Xu Ran's character?

"Xu Ran, is this your true self?" Bi Bidong wondered quietly. She felt a sense of inexplicable emotion, mixed with a tinge of guilt.

Previously, she had thought that people liking Xu Ran was just them being mistaken.

Now it seemed that she was the one who had been mistaken.

Xu Ran was always eager to help others, asking for nothing in return. He had always been helping her from behind the scenes, bearing her burdens, yet she had constantly spoken harshly to him.

Heh, was this the kind of person she, Bi Bidong, was?

Through her fantasies, Bi Bidong fell into a spiral of self-reproach and self-criticism, to the point that in her eyes, Xu Ran was almost saintly. Every originally shameful act seemed reasonable through her eyes, as if even when Xu Ran took advantage of her, it was for her own good.

Women's thoughts are always so complex.

Once they fixate on something, they'll find any reason to convince themselves, continuously reinforcing the idea. As for the flaws, they're all cast aside.

In other words, women are drawn to things they desire.

Women are emotional creatures.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In fact, Bi Bidong had already developed feelings for Xu Ran. In her mind, Xu Ran was the man she liked and therefore had to be perfect. Thus, Bi Bidong's subconscious would keep perfecting Xu Ran's image, proving her taste in men was infallible.

Women, huh, big breasts and no brains, that's normal.

"What the hell?" Xu Ran turned his head in bafflement and looked at Bi Bidong. How come his flirting with Meng Yiran got Bi Bidong feeling emotional?

This wasn't logical, right?

Did Bi Bidong actually enjoy watching him with other women, to the point that it excited her?

He knew about such weirdos, who got excited seeing their wives with another man, but could this trait arise in a woman?

And this look in Bi Bidong's eyes? Uh, hadn't Bi Bidong been fierce with him before? Even though her attitude had improved slightly after he prepared to help her with the Rakshasa God's influence, it shouldn't have reached this extent, right?

After thinking it through, Xu Ran was still at a loss.

But with a beauty in his arms, Xu Ran didn't have the mind to ponder over Bi Bidong's issues.

The beauty at hand was naturally to be savored first. As for Bi Bidong, she had no chance for now. At least until he went to the Martial Soul Hall, in front of Yu Xiaogang... hold that thought, talking too much might get you decapitated.

"Xu Ran, can you stop holding me for now? There are so many people looking at us." After a while, Meng Yiran, lying obediently in Xu Ran's embrace with her pretty profile slightly tilted, spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

Especially when she felt Xu Ran's mischievous hand creeping along her back and curves, hidden from view, she couldn't take it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if others saw?

If Xu Ran had any intentions, just wait until they were alone, and Meng Yiran could satisfy any curiosities Xu Ran might have. She could impart wisdom, and Xu Ran could teach her, and in no time, she might gain much knowledge.

"What's there to be afraid of? They don't have a woman as beautiful, they can only envy me," Xu Ran laughed, pinching the tender flesh on Meng Yiran's waist and hips. Meng Yiran still had a very shapely figure, although not on par with natural beauties like Zhu Qing, but still quite outstanding on the Continent.

Generally speaking, girls with decent talent wouldn't have a bad figure. After all, Soul Power also played a role in maturation.
