Chapter 561 Xu Ran, You're Simply a Rogue!_1

Several days had passed since Xu Ran's appearance at the high-level Soul Master competition, and his injuries had almost fully healed.

During this time, with so many people witnessing the unveiling of his strength, Xu Ran's name spread rapidly across the two great Empires, and discussions about him could be heard everywhere in Tiandou City, even more fervent than before.

Even Shrek Academy was inundated with countless people crowding around it.

The Xu Sect had also been unearthed by those with intentions, and overnight it became the first choice for young people seeking to join a sect. However, the requirements of the Xu Sect were extremely high, especially in terms of looks. For pretty girls with good figures, having decent talent was enough to get in, but the boys had a tough time, facing layers of challenges only to be eliminated. This left many feeling bitterly disappointed, questioning whether the Xu Sect was really a sect or Xu Ran's "Harem"? There were so many female disciples, and aside from a few gatekeepers, male disciples were almost invisible.

Nevertheless, this did not diminish the enthusiasm of the young men, as the Xu Sect was known for its plethora of beauties; entering might just give them the chance to find love.

Inside a refined pavilion.

Bi Bidong wore a golden-yellow long gown, exuding an unmatched nobility; her pristine white skin and near-perfect visage made her stand out spectacularly.

The beauty of Bi Bidong before him was astonishing—noble, elegant, and serene. All sorts of favorable adjectives seemed appropriate for her. Although she was no longer young, the passage of time had not left too many marks on her, instead making her even more beautiful and enticing.

Most people, as time flows by, cease to be young and gradually age, growing ugly, and their demeanor slowly fades into twilight years. But women like Bi Bidong were the contrary, like fine wine that, with age, does not lose its color but instead becomes even more fragrant, mellow, making one wish to drink it all in one gulp.

Bi Bidong's voluptuous body leaned against the windowsill, her beautiful eyes gazing at the scenery outside, her expression somewhat distant and lost in thought.

Her full and enticing body, particularly her rounded, perky buttocks and the pair of smooth, slender legs below, were mesmerizing. In the past, Xu Ran always thought that girls needed to wear stockings or tight pants to truly showcase the beauty of their legs. But Bi Bidong's beauty seemed so natural, as if it required no embellishment; her skin was lustrous and gleaming, as if just by looking one could sense the refreshing fragrance of a woman.

"Xu Ran."

Bi Bidong murmured Xu Ran's name, her expression becoming extremely complex.

His image lingered in her mind, and she struggled to calm her heart.

She had come specifically to assassinate Xu Ran as an act of revenge for Brock, yet surprisingly she not only failed to kill him but ended up staying by his side for as long as ten days.

Originally, she had an extreme dislike for Xu Ran, considering him a demon, shameless and lustful. But as she got to know him, she realized Xu Ran was not the person she had imagined. He possessed noble qualities; he was pure in heart and had refined tastes. His bad side, his evil and frivolous persona, were just an act he showed to the outside world to take the blame.

Xu Ran's talent was great, his strength formidable, and revealing his noble purity would surely place him in the eye of public scrutiny, making him well-known across the entire Continent.

With a burden as heavy as opposing the entire Divine Realm, how could Xu Ran afford to be so flamboyant?

So, all this was Xu Ran's disguise.

These days, she had seen it clearly; as the Female Pope, her beauty and curvaceous figure could captivate anyone, yet even when she lay next to Xu Ran, he never really made any inappropriate moves. Sometimes, she even doubted whether Xu Ran was capable.

Although Xu Ran was lustful, deliberately sliding his hand into her clothes and acting recklessly, all these acts were just a facade. He purposely behaved this way to make her despise him and oppose him.

Now, having to suddenly leave, she felt somewhat reluctant.

In the past, she had spent her days at Martial Soul Hall, from being a goddess to the Pope, staying within Martial Soul Hall. Now that she had come to Tiandou City, even if it was just to tend to Xu Ran's daily needs and to feed him medicine, it had given her a different kind of feeling.

At Martial Soul Hall, it was all because of work. But the days by Xu Ran's side felt like life.

This was what life should feel like; even though her position with Xu Ran wasn't equal, and even though she was coerced, she couldn't help but feel nostalgic about this time.

If she went back to Martial Soul Hall and became the Pope again, everything here would be forgotten.

…

Xu Ran quietly approached Bi Bidong from behind, looking at the woman before him who was majestic and peerless in beauty. Now that Bi Bidong had recovered her strength, there was a sacred and inviolable charm about her.

Xu Ran didn't hesitate, directly embracing Bi Bidong, feeling her soft and delicate body as well as the faint fragrance that emanated from her.

Today was the day Bi Bidong had regained her strength. From now on, Bi Bidong would no longer stay by his side and serve him, nor would she obediently let herself be played with.

"Xu Ran, what are you doing? The time has come today; I have no more ties with you," Bi Bidong's delicate body trembled, and she forcefully tried to push Xu Ran away from her, even though her heart was already rippling with emotions she would never admit.

"Will we really have no ties? Mother-in-law," Xu Ran said, holding Bi Bidong tightly, his strength such that she couldn't escape. He leaned his head towards Bi Bidong's neck, his lips touching her earlobe, causing her body to melt and her face to flush with heat.

"Xu Ran, do you still remember our relationship? You are already dating Xue'er; you absolutely cannot touch me. Otherwise, I'll tell Xue'er, and I'll make sure your relationship with her ends, and she'll never want to deal with you again in her life," Bi Bidong said with determination, feeling a mysterious agitation and a mix of despair, fear, and uneasiness in her body upon hearing the term mother-in-law, leaving her both afraid and fond of it.

"All right then. Go ahead. Tell Xue'er you've slept with me for ten days. Do you think she would want to break up with me or with you?" Xu Ran spoke, his hand gently pinching Bi Bidong's cheek.

Looking at the noble and unparalleled Pope held captive in his embrace, manipulated at will, there was an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart, feeling comfortable and delightfully pleased.

Bi Bidong, so proud and the second in the Continent's history to possess Twin Martial Souls, but even such a Heaven's Proud Daughter, a woman standing at the apex of the Continent, was submissive before him, completely at his mercy, right?

"Xu Ran, how can you be so despicable, such a scoundrel, you're crazy!" Bi Bidong's heart was in turmoil, her heartbeat quickening, her face becoming scorchingly hot either from excitement or from shame. Her slender eyes stared fiercely at Xu Ran; while she once had some fondness for him, now she just wanted to bite the man in front of her to death.

Even though he was so powerful, he was just like those rogue hoodlums, using those matters to threaten a woman, which was utterly shameless!

"I'm not crazy. Your Holiness is so beautiful, so graceful, I haven't even had a taste of you yet. If I let you go and someone else does, I would regret it to death," Xu Ran said with a wicked smile, lifting Bi Bidong's head to look at her snow-white neck and the delicate collarbone below it. Through the gap in her neckline and dress, from Xu Ran's vantage point, he could glimpse some dazzling colors.
