Chapter 585 Qian Dao Liu's Regression, Condition_1

As a strong individual, intuition is often very accurate in many situations.

"Could it be that this kid is stronger than me?" Qian Dao Liu murmured to himself. Seeing her grandfather in such a dazed state, Qian Renxue felt somewhat proud as she massaged his shoulders and acted coquettishly.

Her grandfather's ambitions were as high as the heavens; as a level 99 Titled Douluo, he was a towering figure in the Martial Soul World.

Since she could remember, she had never seen her grandfather show such an expression.

And now, after seeing Xu Ran, her grandfather showed such astonishment, naturally filling her with pride.

The man of Qian Renxue must undoubtedly be the most outstanding and perfect being in the world. Even if Xu Ran had many little faults, a Xu Ran without any faults, too perfect, would lack humanity. Such a Xu Ran would not be the one she liked.

The Xu Ran of the present was already excellent: peerless talent, unrivaled artistic flair, a demonically handsome appearance, and an otherworldly temperament, practically equivalent to being flawless. Such a person, in the entire Continent, there was only one Xu Ran. It could even be almost certain that in the future, there would only be one such monstrous figure as Xu Ran.

"Grandfather, Xu Ran..." Qian Renxue whispered into Qian Dao Liu's ear, informing him of Xu Ran's strength. She knew her grandfather was mad about cultivation, and if he knew that Xu Ran was a once in an eternity cultivation genius, his attitude towards Xu Ran would change immediately.

"What?" Qian Dao Liu was a bit stunned. Xue'er actually said that Xu Ran's strength had already surpassed his own. This made Qian Dao Liu put away his contempt even more, and the look he gave Xu Ran was nothing but solemn.

In his view, lusting after the opposite sex amounted to losing one's ambition, and such a person would not last long. It was for this very reason that he developed a prejudice against Xu Ran after learning of Xu Ran's amorous nature.

Little did he know, Xu Ran had a System; being fond of the opposite sex was not a shortcoming but an advantage. The land of gentle love was no Hero's Tomb for Xu Ran.

"Great Elder, my feelings for Xue'er are genuine," Xu Ran said as he saw the hostility in Qian Dao Liu's eyes lessen.

He could understand Qian Dao Liu's feelings; if in the future he, Xu Ran, had a daughter or granddaughter, and someone dallied with them—especially if he witnessed it—he would definitely break that person's legs.

"Hmph. If you are truly sincere, then would you fancy so many people? Others might not know your true colors, but I am very clear about them. With so many women around you, if you truly cared about Xue'er, you would dismiss all of them and be devoted solely to Xue'er. In that case, I would not stop you two from being together," Qian Dao Liu said with a scowl as he glanced at Xu Ran.

He saw through it; this young man Xu Ran was very cunning.

Although Xu Ran's strength was formidable, he was fickle in love. Now, Xue'er was still young and beautiful, and naturally, Xu Ran liked her. But after a while, when the thrill of that affection wore off, whether Xu Ran would still like Xue'er was questionable.

Since the matter could no longer be changed, he had to secure the best possible outcome for Xue'er.

"No way. I, Xu Ran, will definitely not abandon any woman by my side. If the Great Elder is harboring this idea, it's better to give up sooner rather than later. I want Xue'er, and I won't give up on the others either," Xu Ran said, standing tall.

"Hmph. Then I will not agree to you being with Xue'er," Qian Dao Liu's eyes flashed a trace of admiration. Although he really hoped that Xu Ran would abandon the others and be wholeheartedly devoted to Xue'er, if Xu Ran did indeed do so, he would only lose respect for Xu Ran and would certainly not entrust Xue'er to him.

A man without a sense of responsibility can abandon others today and might just as well abandon Xue'er tomorrow.

"If the Great Elder doesn't agree, then I'll just elope with Xue'er. Anyway, Xue'er and I have already committed to each other for life, so your approval doesn't really matter. I came here today just to inform you that Xue'er and I are already together as a settled fact, not to ask for your permission to marry her," Xu Ran shrugged.

Given Qian Renxue's feelings for him, if Qian Dao Liu really didn't allow it, Qian Renxue would definitely elope with him. They had already pledged their bodies to each other; Qian Renxue's body was his, and Qian Dao Liu had no right to say no.

"Xu Ran, how dare you speak to me like this?" Qian Dao Liu's chest heaved with anger. He hadn't expected Xu Ran to be so defiant, damn it, even contemplating eloping with Xue'er.

He sure was wishful thinking.

Qian Dao Liu glances over at Qian Renxue, who also has a determined look on her face, resolved to marry no one but Xu Ran. If he really refused to let them be together, with Xue'er's personality, she might truly run away.

He could control Xue'er for the moment, but could he control her for a lifetime?

Moreover, it's a critical moment for Xue'er's divine examination, what if she got distracted and something went wrong?

"Enough, enough. Do as you please. I'm old, I can't control everything anymore," Qian Dao Liu sighed. No matter how he looked at it, he had no way to deal with Xu Ran. Whether it was considering Xu Ran's strength or to stabilize Qian Renxue's emotions so she could focus on her divine examination, he had no reason to tear Xu Ran and Xue'er apart.

"Well, if I could see a grandson or granddaughter before I die, that wouldn't be too bad. That would make me quite content in the afterlife," Qian Dao Liu suddenly thought.

For the sake of Xue'er's ascension to godhood, this was a step he was willing to take, and seeing Xue'er's offspring would fulfill his wish.

"Hee hee, thank you, Grandpa, I knew Grandpa loved me the most," Qian Renxue heard Qian Dao Liu give in and immediately kissed his wrinkled face happily, showing great affection.

Grandpa and Xu Ran were the people she cared about the most, and she feared they would clash. Grandpa was very good to her, and so was Xu Ran; she didn't want either of them to be unhappy.

And now that Grandpa had approved of Xu Ran, the weight in her heart was lifted.

Qian Renxue was very happy, her face flushed with joy; nothing could make her happier than having her lover's acceptance by her family.

"Grandpa." Xu Ran walked over with a big smile, correcting himself. He knew Qian Dao Liu was just being stubborn, but deep down, he was actually pleased. It was just that he kept a cold face hoping to extort conditions and benefits from him.

"Hold it right there, I haven't agreed to you two being together yet. You must agree to three conditions if you want to marry Xue'er."

"As long as it's within my power and doesn't violate morality, don't say three conditions; even if there were thirty, three hundred, for Xue'er's sake, I would agree," Xu Ran said cheerfully, looking at Qian Renxue affectionately, his heart stirring. If Qian Dao Liu agreed to him being with Xue'er, wouldn't that mean they could try even more complicated positions in the future?

With the darling Xue'er being so beautiful, wouldn't that mean he could die of pleasure.
