At this moment, Xu Ran and Qian Renxue were still in the midst of things.
Xu Ran had already sensed Qian Dao Liu's presence, but he was too caught up to consider stopping now. Give up halfway? What a joke!
"Damn it. Why has that old geezer Qian Dao Liu come here? Is he that eager to see me?" Xu Ran felt somewhat embarrassed, after all, it did seem rather inappropriate to take advantage of someone's granddaughter in his presence.
Luckily, Qian Dao Liu was a tough old man. Had it been anyone else, they might have gotten high blood pressure out of sheer agitation.
Especially since Xu Ran hadn't yet earned Qian Dao Liu's approval, and here he was, pursuing the man's granddaughter as soon as he entered the house—a bit improper, indeed.
"Xu Ran, what are you talking about?" Qian Renxue looked at Xu Ran with a dazed look in her eyes, her small face flushed with a ripe fruit's rosy tint.
Around her delicate body, fragrance lingered.
"Nothing, let's focus on the important stuff," Xu Ran shook his head, then stared intently at the tender beauty beside him, his wicked hands pinching her body with a roughness that had no trace of treating her with the delicacy due a flower.
"Ah."
Qian Renxue let out a sharp cry, her watery eyes looking at Xu Ran, instantly lost.
...
Outside, Qian Dao Liu was already standing there, somewhat puzzled.
His wife had died early, and affection only hindered the speed of his cultivation, so he had always been very restrained in that aspect.
Therefore, Qian Dao Liu's first reaction was even to assume that Qian Renxue was in closed cultivation, undertaking the Angel God assessment, and it was a critical moment, hence the commotion.
But the next moment, when he heard Xu Ran's voice, Qian Dao Liu's face turned green.
A man's presence in his granddaughter's room—who else could it be but undoubtedly Xu Ran?
Instantly, he conjured up all kinds of thoughts.
"Bastard! Absolute bastard! My granddaughter is up to no good with a man so soon after arriving at Martial Soul Hall, completely lawless." Qian Dao Liu was livid, his facial muscles twitching, his emotions a tangled mess.
He hadn't fully caught on just now, but hearing Xu Ran and Qian Renxue's voices, and not being inexperienced with women himself, how could he remain clueless about what was going on in that room?
Now, Qian Dao Liu hated Xu Ran so much he was grinding his teeth. Damn it, the man had just arrived at the Martial Soul Hall and hadn't even paid him a visit, yet he was already troubling his granddaughter. Was he even human? Did Xu Ran think he, Qian Dao Liu, was easy to bully?
Qian Dao Liu looked up at the sky, the sun still high up.
This damn Xu Ran was really going too far.
It was still noon for heaven's sake, with the daylight so bright, everything was clear, and Xu Ran was starting to…
He was simply a beast!
Qian Dao Liu, overwhelmed by the noises, felt indignant towards Xu Ran.
How pure and holy his granddaughter was, an Inheritor of the Angel God, destined to become divine. And now, she too had been led astray by Xu Ran, allowing him to fool around with her without restraint.
"Sigh, why did I end up with this burden?"
"Has our Xue'er lost her mind? Indeed, a girl in love has no sense whatsoever."
Qian Dao Liu sealed off his six senses, no longer perceiving anything. He was afraid he would get so angry that he couldn't bear to listen any longer.
His precious granddaughter whom he raised with such difficulty was now taken by someone else, so devoted to him. Anyone would be furious in his place.
By now, Xu Ran had completely put Qian Dao Liu out of his mind and was indulging unrestrainedly with Qian Renxue.
...
Several hours later,
"Brother Xu Ran, do I look pretty?"
Qian Renxue batted her large eyes. At that moment, she had put on a pair of white stockings, crossing her legs together. Just those slender and rounded legs alone were exquisite, in the outside world they'd be praised endlessly.
Qian Renxue was draped in a thin veil, covering her perfect body. However, the partially concealed silhouette was damn inviting, extremely hazy.
"Pretty. My Xue'er is the prettiest." Xu Ran was never stingy with compliments for his woman, and Qian Renxue was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, stunningly gorgeous. Since she had started the Angel God assessment, even though she hadn't passed yet, there was already a celestial aura about Qian Renxue, fairy-like. With the silk veil, she didn't seem earthly at all.
"Heehee, really?" Qian Renxue turned over, propping herself up on the bed and spoke with a radiant smile. Her skin was as smooth as milk, simply a rare gem among humans.
Xu Ran felt Qian Renxue was knowingly or unknowingly seducing him. With every move she made, she was becoming more and more feminine—not quite, more like the cunning of a vixen.
Had it not been for the heavy aura of Divine Light from the Angel God inheritance that Qian Renxue possessed, she would definitely have become a real vixen.
But this kind of Qian Renxue, he liked.
"What do you think? My feelings for you are clear as day and night." Xu Ran held Qian Renxue's smooth long hair in his hand. Ever since he pulled Bai Chenxiang's pigtails, Xu Ran had grown fond of the sensation of holding a girl's hair, much to their chagrin.
"Speaking of which, it seems the old man came by earlier." Post-coital, the realization suddenly dawned on Xu Ran after recalling Qian Dao Liu's earlier expression, which was somewhat embarrassing. Previously, he didn't care, after all, in the throes of excitement, even if the Heavenly King appeared, he had to wait until the deed was done.
But thinking back on that scene now, even for someone as thick-skinned as Xu Ran, it was a bit too much.
"What do you mean 'came by'?" Qian Renxue asked curiously with her big eyes wide open. At this point, Qian Renxue still had no idea she was socially dead. If she knew that Qian Dao Liu had come, sensed what was happening between them and then left disheartened, she probably would be so embarrassed she could carve out a two-bedroom flat with her toes.
Qian Renxue had thin skin, she couldn't compare with Xu Ran.
"Er, you know, the Great Elder seemed to have come by just now." Xu Ran touched his nose, trying to break the news gently to Qian Renxue. Not that it would do much good.
