Chapter 583: Xu Ran's Wisdom, Meeting Qian Dao Liu_1

"Your grandfather is the Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall, a level 99 Titled Douluo, while I'm still just a Soul Sage. You should be asking your grandfather to show mercy," Xu Ran said, yawning and getting dressed at the same time.

"Vain, don't get too smug," Qian Renxue gave Xu Ran a disdainful glance, knowing he was being sarcastic and secretly priding himself on his talents. Although Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" wasn't high, his strength had already surpassed the limits of Soul Masters in Soul Land, even the Rakshasa God had been defeated by him; her grandfather was no match for Xu Ran.

"I'm going to take a bath first; I'm all dirty. Wait for me outside for a while," Qian Renxue said, draped in a light gauze gown, her figure swaying gracefully as she ran toward the bathroom.

The moment Xu Ran heard Qian Renxue mention she was going to take a bath, he felt a stir of interest, his eyes fixating on her. Right now, Qian Renxue strutted with a catwalk gait, revealing a beautiful back view. How could he resist joining her for a lovers' bath?

"I'm off then, you're not allowed to peek or think naughty thoughts, or I won't talk to you anymore," Qian Renxue warned as she reached the bathroom door, especially wary of Xu Ran's heated gaze, which made her raise her guard instantly. She was worried that Xu Ran was up to no good again. Other men might feel listless for a while after the deed, but Xu Ran never showed such signs.

What if Xu Ran got up to mischief and grandfather walked in?

That would collapse the image of the demure and gentle lady she had maintained in front of her grandfather, so this time, she wouldn't allow Xu Ran to be reckless.

Hmph, Xu Ran, this scoundrel, it's always the girls who suffer,

"I'm a bit dirty myself; I think I'll go wash up too," Xu Ran originally wanted to mention a lovers' bath directly but considering Qian Renxue's current state of mind and her temperament, he suddenly became more diplomatic?

"Dirty?" Qian Renxue's golden eyes looked at Xu Ran, blinked, and asked.

"Mm-hmm," Xu Ran nodded. With his strength, he could clean the dirt from his body with Soul Power, so bathing was just an excuse; he was really just craving Qian Renxue's body. The mere thought of Qian Renxue bathing, her long hair damp and dripping, excited him.

"So you're disgusted by my dirtiness?" Qian Renxue's gaze became scrutinizing. Since Xu Ran had been with her and was dirty, was he actually disgusted by her?

"Uh..."

"That's not what I mean."

"Humph, don't play games with me. Just wait outside, and no peeking," Qian Renxue huffed proudly, seeing Xu Ran embarrassed and smiled sweetly, then quickly ran into the bathroom to bathe.

After a while, Qian Renxue soaked in a bathtub full of fresh flowers for over half an hour before she slowly rose and got dressed.

She chose a light yellow chiffon dress, her body curving perfectly, her golden hair naturally cascading behind her, still wet and steaming from the bath, with beads of water on her cheeks and neck, making her skin look exceptionally tender and ivory white.

Qian Renxue admired her figure in the mirror, quite pleased with herself.

"So beautiful, I'm almost in love with myself. This jerk Xu Ran is getting such a bargain," Qian Renxue said with delight. Since being with Xu Ran, her attitude had improved vastly; she was no longer the haughty young lady, but a woman easily prone to jealousy—of course, this side of her only emerged in Xu Ran's presence.

"Are you done yet, my lady? Didn't you say your grandfather would get angry if we're late?" Xu Ran, bored, played with his fingers and called into the bathroom irritably.

Listening to the pattering water, tempting yet off-limits, Xu Ran felt helpless.

"Almost ready, I'll be out soon," Qian Renxue tidied up and walked out of the bathroom.

"Xu Ran, do I look good?" Qian Renxue purposely moved with elegance, tossing her hair behind her ear in a very feminine way. Xu Ran didn't know who she had learned these moves from, or perhaps they came naturally to her—but they looked very good, very feminine.

"Fair as a lotus flower rising from clear water, its beauty uncarved by man."

Xu Ran exclaimed in admiration. Qian Renxue, having just finished her bath, seemed even more enchanting. Xu Ran thought of this line of poetry involuntarily, as it was highly fitting for the current state of Qian Renxue.

"You really are so cheesy." Qian Renxue's gaze softened, Xu Ran's talent was so immense, and his literary grace was unmatched. Even his offhand poetry sounded pleasant to the ear.

"I have even cheesier lines." Xu Ran said, as he leaned in to kiss the delicate cheek of Qian Renxue.

"Don't kiss me, too much saliva. Ah…" Qian Renxue resisted Xu Ran's advance feebly, seemingly rejecting yet inviting, her words said no, but she didn't truly refuse.

Playfully, Xu Ran and Qian Renxue walked hand in hand towards the Qian Dao Liu residence.

…

By this time, Qian Dao Liu had already returned to his residence, alone and furiously puffing his cheeks and glaring.

Just thinking about Xu Ran, that rascal, making his granddaughter so happy and engaging in such preposterous acts under the broad daylight, made his heart crack and crumble, filled with the sound of breaking.

It's hard to keep a grown daughter at home, the old saying didn't lie.

Even though he was the Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Continent, a level 99 Titled Douluo, he was powerless in this matter.

He couldn't even decide on his attitude towards Xu Ran right now.

He was certainly angry, but if he truly enraged Xu Ran and caused a rift between him and Xue'er, what then? She was his only granddaughter, and her happiness was naturally the most important.

He had inquired about Xu Ran's background, this youngster was quite extraordinary and capable of anything.

Xue'er was already with Xu Ran, his intervention would be too late.

"Damn it, truly damn it," Qian Dao Liu fumed, his chest heaving. In his life, Qian Dao Liu had never felt such a great loss. He had spent many years aiding Xue'er in researching the Angel God inheritance, concocting countless schemes, but Xu Ran, with some sweet talk, filled her heart with himself, an irrevocable loss in his view.

"Grandpa, Xue'er has come to see you," Qian Renxue called out from a distance, but feeling embarrassed when she thought about her grandfather knowing about what happened with Xu Ran just now, she could hardly look into Qian Dao Liu's eyes.

Girls were generally very conservative when it came to that aspect, it was just that they had met Xu Ran, a lecher, that made her more open to Xu Ran. She had no choice but to be open because Xu Ran would always compare her with other women saying, "Others do it this way too."

Qian Renxue was half-convinced and too embarrassed to ask Xiaowu and the others for the truth of the matter.

Thus, she naturally could only take whatever Xu Ran said as truth.

So even though Qian Renxue and Xu Ran had just established their relationship, they had tried all sorts of things.

This was the wisdom of Xu Ran in charming girls.

"Heh. You still remember you have a grandfather. I think you're so bewitched by Xu Ran, that scoundrel, that in the future you might even sell your grandpa and Martial Soul Hall for him," Qian Dao Liu said sourly.
