Chapter 616 Hulena Is Shy, That Request is Not Okay_1

Hulena's face flushed, her heart pounding erratically as she clung to Xu Ran's arm. She could distinctly feel Xu Ran's presence, the warm and comfortable sensation was truly soothing. By Xu Ran's side, she always had a strong sense of security, which made all her previous worries and discomfort disappear.

Stealthily, Hulena glanced in Xiaowu's direction; she was well aware of Xiaowu's relationship with Xu Ran. She worried that her actions might incur Xiaowu's displeasure.

However, she quickly realized she was overthinking it; Xiaowu had already grown accustomed to these situations. Upon seeing Hulena's figure, Xiaowu had already labeled her as Xu Ran's next conquest. So why would Xiaowu mind Hulena getting close to Xu Ran?

Besides, it didn't matter.

Compared to Xu Ran's other, more embarrassing and intimate tactics, holding hands was nothing.

Xiaowu harbored no stinginess in her fondness for Hulena, meeting her glance with a slight smile and a nod of acknowledgment. She disliked Tang San and was more than happy to see him thwarted.

Seeing that Xiaowu wasn't angry, Hulena breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing between her and Xu Ran just yet, and she certainly didn't want to sour her relationship with any of Xu Ran's close female companions.

"Xu Ran..." Hulena lowered her head to gaze at her own beautiful legs, suddenly unsure of what to say.

In fact, she and Xu Ran were just ordinary friends, no, they couldn't even be considered friends.

She and Xu Ran had merely met by chance before. Although she fancied Xu Ran, there was no guarantee he would return her affections.

However confident she was in her own looks, she dared not be too confident after seeing the bevy of gorgeous women around Xu Ran.

Xu Ran, the pride of heaven—what kind of woman hadn't he seen?

Maybe Xu Ran felt nothing special for her. After all, he already had many close female friends, which were surely enough to satisfy him. No matter how capable Xu Ran was, that many women must be enough, right?

"Hmm?" Xu Ran looked down at Hulena, who stood a head shorter than him, her lowered gaze giving him a perfect view of her ample bust with its full, proud curves.

"I want to ask you to rescue my brother. As long as you agree, I will accede to any demand you make." Hulena lifted her head and stuck out her chest, confronting Xu Ran with a defiant, somewhat unyielding gaze.

She didn't want to seem inferior to anyone in Xu Ran's eyes.

She was the Soul Hall's Saintess after all, and her figure was excellent. Although she couldn't compare to those with exceptional gifts, being too large also had its problems, didn't it? Walking would cause jolting; she thought her own size was quite perfect.

"Any demand?" Xu Ran's eyes gleamed as he surveyed Hulena's figure, a bold thought crossing his mind. With Tang San's obsession so deep, wouldn't he seethe with rage if he and Hulena engaged in "intimate diplomacy"?

"That kind of demand is not okay. Anything else is fine," Hulena replied, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Xu Ran's scrutiny, her voice lowering. She was no child and naturally understood what Xu Ran had implied.

Nonetheless, her words had indeed left much to the imagination.

But she didn't feel any resentment toward Xu Ran's shameless thoughts; instead, she found herself pleasantly surprised. It seemed she still had an allure to Xu Ran.

"Alright, your brother is my brother, and I have no reason not to help," Xu Ran said, stroking Hulena's black hair, soft and silky, wafting a light, pleasing scent.

Tang San really knows how to create opportunities for showing off and picking up girls.

In the eyes of the world now, Xu Ran is a gentleman with grace, genteel as jade, whereas Tang San is seen as a villain who is ruthless, moody, and volatile.

Ahem, this happens to be a true reflection of the two of them.

"Thank you," Hulena said as Xu Ran agreed, reluctantly letting go of Xu Ran's arm. When her body separated from Xu Ran's, she felt a bit empty inside.

But as soon as she recalled Xu Ran saying that her brother was his brother, her heart thumped wildly, always feeling as if Xu Ran was hinting at something. But she was too embarrassed to ask and it just made her heart itch.

"Xu Ran, you're interfering in my affairs again?" Tang San was furious. Seeing Xu Ran and Hulena together, acting all lovey-dovey, Tang San felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Hulena had never acted so coy and dependent in front of him.

"Interfering in your affairs? Nana's matters are my matters, what's it to you?"

"How pathetic you are, Nana has already made it clear that she wants you to keep away, but you keep shamelessly clinging on. Now you've even injured her brother, do you think I can just stand by?" Xu Ran said disdainfully.

Tang San's personality had now been completely influenced by the aura of the Rakshasa God. Just like Bi Bidong from the past, who changed completely after inheriting the Rakshasa God's powers, his once supremely beautiful face also became neither human nor ghostlike.

Although Tang San has not fully inherited the power yet, the divine power within him is far greater than any other god's inheritor. If it weren't for Tang San's lack of strength and the Rakshasa God not wanting to push him too quickly, he'd probably want to make Tang San break through to godhood right away.

It was for this reason, Tang San's character was also affected by the inherently evil nature of the Rakshasa.

In the original work, Tang San was clever as can be, but now... let's just forget about it.

"Xu Ran, you..." Tang San was so angry he wanted to confront Xu Ran physically. But when he thought of Xu Ran's current strength, he backed down. If he were to be beaten down by Xu Ran here, his prestige would be completely gone.

"What about me, are you looking to get beaten up again?" Xu Ran glanced at Tang San. His palm lifted, carrying strands of green light as it circled around Evil Moon.

"Hmph. My Rakshasa intent is not so easily dispelled. No one but me can withdraw these divine thoughts," Tang San snorted coldly, looking down on Xu Ran. Especially, he couldn't stand the way Xiaowu and Hulena treated Xu Ran.

To him, Hulena was just a woman he could use to flaunt in front of Xu Ran, but Xiaowu was his truly cherished beloved. Xiaowu had been taken by Xu Ran's despicable means, and he could not reconcile with it!

Others may not love him, but Xiaowu had loved him before. It's all Xu Ran's damn despicable fault.

"Just you watch. Your little tricks are no match for me."

The moment those green lights penetrated Evil Moon's body, his originally pale complexion started to become rosy. Evil Moon's weak vitality began to strengthen. Evil Moon's injuries were rapidly healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air.

They had just seen how severely Evil Moon was injured, barely breathing, unable to talk for a few sentences without coughing up blood. Such severe wounds had recovered so much in the blink of an eye, it was nothing short of a miracle.
