"You!"
"If Father knew how strong you've become, he definitely wouldn't object," Zhu Zhuyun said with a coquettish glance at Xu Ran. Her father had always been extremely ambitious in his lifetime; unfortunately, compared to the true noble Martial Souls on the continent, the Zhu Clan's Martial Souls were much inferior, only by joining forces with the Dai family could they hold a position.
After Xu Ran appeared, he had indeed become the hope for the Zhu Clan's rise.
It was for this reason that the Zhu Clan, despite the enmity with the Dai family, promised Zhu Qing to Xu Ran.
And once Xu Ran's strength truly stood at the pinnacle of the continent, the Zhu Clan would spare no effort to ingratiate themselves with Xu Ran. Not to mention her, even if Xu Ran wanted more marriageable girls from the Zhu Clan, the family would not object.
Based on her understanding of the family, the family would probably wish for Xu Ran and the Zhu Clan to grow even closer.
Xu Ran was such a philanderer and playboy that a single Zhu Qing couldn't keep him in check, nor could she bring more benefits to the Zhu Clan.
"That's right, I'm so handsome, why let the water flow into someone else's field, it's better to benefit me. As for the Dai family, they used to be the overlord of the Xingluo Empire, that might not be the case in the future," Xu Ran said boastfully. He now had the confidence to overturn all the powers in Soul Land, including Martial Soul Hall.
"Mmm. Our Zhu Clan is famous for producing beauties. Even if you wanted a few more, Father would agree," Zhu Zhuyun said, blinking her large eyes and gently twisting her hand around Xu Ran's waist.
Before, she thought that Xu Ran would only have her and Zhu Qing as sisters by his side. Even if Xu Ran was flirtatious, it would all be within a controllable range. But unexpectedly, in just a short time, Xu Ran kept attracting women continuously, with an increasing number of women around him.
Xu Ran was too outstanding, radiant, and even without actively pursuing others, his shine would attract countless people to gather towards him unwillingly.
"In the Zhu Clan, having only you and Zhu Qing is enough for me. In my eyes, although others are also good, they do not compare to a fraction of you," Xu Ran said. The Zhu Clan indeed produced many beauties, and they all had great figures, even if not on par with Zhu Qing and Zhu Yun, they were still considered stunning beauties in the outside world.
However, one must not be too absolute in their actions; if you feast on meat, you should always leave some soup for others.
Taking away the best for oneself is enough; next to Zhu Qing and Zhu Yun, other girls in the family could only be considered as commonplace.
"Hmph. I think you just look down on others in the family. I would rather you choose from within, instead of cheating outside," Zhu Zhuyun said, lying weakly on Xu Ran's body, speaking in a seductive tone.
But this was doomed to be impossible. As Xu Ran's strength grew stronger, the people accompanying him kept changing, and the women by his side became increasingly outstanding.
Sometimes she truly worried about where Xu Ran would go in the future. Xu Ran had lofty goals, and perhaps after a long time, the Xingluo Empire, even Soul Land itself, would be nothing to him.
Compared to those accompanying Xu Ran, they would fall behind more and more. They would be like ignorant country girls while those people would be phoenixes in the sky.
"Once everything settles and there's no danger, wherever I go, I'll take you with me. I won't leave any of you behind. I swear, if I am unfaithful, may thunder strike me down, and may I never rest in peace," Xu Ran said solemnly. Once he had completely conquered the Divine Realm, he wouldn't need to worry about any instability.
As for traveling to other worlds, who could say for sure what the circumstances would be at that time?
If that time really came, with the peak strength of the master of the divine world, going to other worlds, first to the Doupo World, which wasn't much higher in level, he'd probably be a Dou Di by then.
"I believe you, don't do this again." Zhu Zhuyun's jade hand covered Xu Ran's mouth, forbidding him to continue. She knew Xu Ran was not heartless. Even if Xu Ran treated her badly, she would accept it. She liked Xu Ran, and as long as she could be with him, she was content.
"Mmm."
"I won't leave you alone. Next time I go to Xingluo City, I'll explain everything to my uncle, and then I'll take you with me. I can't rest easy with you alone in Xingluo City," Xu Ran said with a radiant smile. The Xingluo Empire was already beneath his notice, it was just Davis... If he got involved with Zhu Yun, Xu Ran wouldn't spare his life.
He, Xu Ran, had never been a good person.
"Really?" Zhu Zhuyun looked at Xu Ran with surprise in her beautiful eyes.
Even if it was just going to Tiandou City with Xu Ran, that meant she would at least be closer to Xu Ran. Plus, being with Zhu Qing and the others, it wouldn't be too dull.
"Of course it's true, my little beauty. How could I bear to let my pretty little wife be too far from me? Then what's the point of playing this game?" Xu Ran pinched Zhu Zhuyun's petite nose, speaking affectionately.
Having had his fill of plain fillings, it was time to start tasting the meaty ones.
"Mmm..."
"Never mind. I'll just stay in Xingluo City. My cultivation talent isn't as good as Zhu Qing's, and going to Tiandou City I wouldn't be of much help to you. In Xingluo City, I can help you manage the family business, and eventually, the entire Zhu Clan's assets will be yours," Zhu Zhuyun said gently after pondering for a while. She didn't want to end up as a valueless vase. Even if that could mean being closer to Xu Ran.
"Alright then, from now on, you'll be the Chief Steward of the Xu Family," Xu Ran's eyes lit up as he looked at the beauty in his arms.
In his eyes, Zhu Zhuyun was like Ya Fei in the Doupo World, beautiful as a flower, grown up within the clan, perhaps power was her forte. Especially now that Davis was under her control, she was even more adept at handling power.
Imagine one day, Zhu Zhuyun overshadowing all, unmatched in power across the Soul Land, respected and feared by everyone.
Noble, refined, majestic, unparalleled in grace and beauty.
When Zhu Zhuyun was working, he could hold her while watching her conduct her official duties. And if he got tired, he could comfortably rest on her beautiful legs, even indulge in sweet nothings in front of her subordinates, enjoying the envious gaze of countless people. That feeling seemed very pleasant indeed.
Thinking of Zhu Zhuyun's figure, dressed in noble and elegant attire, with countless loyal subordinates under her command, and yet her love reserved only for him, then he would lead an enviable life. This seemed like a good idea.
Sensual figure, dignified demeanor, they would be a perfect match.
"You rogue, what are you thinking about now? Don't you dare think about anything naughty," Zhu Zhuyun's pink fists swung at Xu Ran's body, her face flushed with embarrassment under his gaze. Xu Ran's look made her feel as if she was stripped bare. Hmph, Stinky Xu Ran, he must be thinking of something messy again.
