Chapter 655: Meeting Bi Bidong, Casual Conversation_1

"You decide what to do, and I will follow," Qian Renxue didn't say much else.

As a woman deciding to be with Xu Ran, she naturally followed his lead on major issues.

Moreover, Xu Ran wasn't wrong; it's just that she didn't want to see that woman, Bi Bidong. Although she hated her, the bond of blood between them was ultimately thicker than water. She hated her, but what could she really do to her?

"Hmph, let Xue'er handle this matter for now. We won't interfere. If Bi Bidong becomes truly unreasonable, then I will take action. Martial Soul Hall isn't ruled by her alone," Qian Dao Liu said profoundly.

He didn't want to interfere with these matters either. There had already been enough tragedy, and he didn't want Qian Renxue to end up with a tragic conclusion as well.

The farce from those years should come to an end; he just hoped that it would be a conclusion that made everyone happy.

After a long conversation, Xu Ran and his lover Qian Renxue were allowed to return. During this period, Golden Crocodile Douluo, curiously, took Xu Ran aside to ask how he could maintain such a strong "Cultivation Level" while being distracted by love, his tone overflowing with envy.

After Xu Ran demonstrated it to him, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt ashamed of his inferiority.

Upon leaving the great hall, Qian Renxue linked arms with Xu Ran, tilting her head with a slightly troubled expression.

Facing Bi Bidong, she found it hard to voice her thoughts. Despite the resentment in her heart, the sight of Bi Bidong's familiar face made it difficult for her to express her anger.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran knew what was on Qian Renxue's mind and found it somewhat amusing.

Qian Renxue was innately kind-hearted, but her position forced her to present a cold facade from an early age.

"You're not having second thoughts, are you? Getting scared before it even begins?"

"Hmph, I'm not scared of her. With Grandpa and you supporting me, why should I be afraid of her? She's the one who wronged me in the past. If I come to blows with her now, it's only what she deserves," Qian Renxue pouted, feigning indifference.

"It's just... I don't want to chat with her. Seeing her face just makes me sick," Qian Renxue said in a soft voice, hands on her hips and revealing her shapely pear figure.

"Then I'll go on your behalf to probe Bi Bidong's intentions. It will give you more confidence for when you negotiate with her later," Xu Ran's eyes twinkled.

He had already found a reason to interact with Bi Bidong on Xiaowu's behalf last time.

Now it was a good time to come up with a reason in front of Qian Renxue as well.

It wouldn't do for Qian Renxue to suspect anything if she found out he had been to the Pope's Palace to see Bi Bidong.

Given the current hostile relationship between Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue would definitely be unhappy if she knew of his lustful thoughts toward Bi Bidong.

"Heehee, Xu Ran, you're really good to me."

"It would be best if she would just willingly cede power. Although I dislike her, I am a person who values filial piety. As long as Bi Bidong doesn't cause any trouble, I won't make things difficult for her," Qian Renxue tried hard to show Xu Ran a gentle and sensible image, feeling that her previous portrayal in front of him wasn't very good.

"Leave this matter to me."

...

Pope's Palace.

As Xu Ran entered, Bi Bidong was sitting in the front, with many documents on the desk, meticulously reviewing them.

There wasn't much difference between the Pope and an emperor; both were extremely busy with daily affairs.

"Ah." Bi Bidong cried out softly as she felt something pressing against her.

"Xu Ran?" Bi Bidong turned her head and, seeing Xu Ran's face, her frightened heart relaxed.

Xu Ran's strength was too great; even the current Bi Bidong could not sense his arrival.

"Xu Ran, how did you get here?" Bi Bidong batted her large eyes, Xu Ran's face moved even closer, their eyes met, and Bi Bidong's cheeks pinked.

Her heart held ambiguous feelings for Xu Ran, and guilt made her blush.

"Of course, I came to find my Pope beauty. I missed you like crazy just after a day." Xu Ran's fingers slid across Bi Bidong's jade-like back; today, she wore a black gauze dress with an opening by her fragrant shoulders, revealing the fair skin beneath.

"Xu Ran, you! This is outrageous!"

Bi Bidong's eyes widened, she had never expected Xu Ran to utter such mad words.

"Outrageous? That can't scare me. Beauty belongs to those who are capable," Xu Ran said as he gathered strands of Bi Bidong's scattered hair in his hand, combing through them.

In his mind, Bai Chenxiang and Xiaowu's whipping hair came to life.

Charging on horseback!

Alas, Bi Bidong was not a woman who could be easily persuaded by his words. As for charging on horseback, cough cough, that was an even greater challenge.

"You!" Bi Bidong's large eyes looked at Xu Ran, but she quickly lost the battle. She already had unclear feelings for him, couldn't claim to be guiltless, where would she find the courage to look Xu Ran in the eye?

Especially now that Xu Ran was not weak, even stronger than her—in fact, she couldn't manage to pin him down.

"What do you want to do? Just say it." Bi Bidong feigned anger as she looked at Xu Ran; she dared not show any hint of a weak woman in front of him. Xu Ran was like a wolf, one that could eat you whole. Should she show any flaw, Xu Ran would devour her without a trace of mercy.

"We just had an Elder meeting, and Xue'er and I were there too," Xu Ran said cheerfully, taking advantage of Bi Bidong's momentary daze to pick her up around the waist.

"What are you doing?" Bi Bidong was so nervous she trembled, scared by Xu Ran's sudden action.

"Relax, I won't touch you. Just holding you like before can't be a problem, right?" Xu Ran said, carrying Bi Bidong's soft and voluptuous waist to the inner room, and directly threw Bi Bidong onto the bed, then he lay down as well.

Bi Bidong's voluptuous body bounced slightly, her perfect figure was utterly revealed.

"You! Xu Ran, don't go too far." Bi Bidong was furious, though Xu Ran promised not to do anything, his actions were too rough, even brutal. Such behavior made her feel especially ashamed; when had she, a Pope in her own right, ever been toyed with like a little woman?

She was now somewhat certain that Xu Ran was experienced in this regard, with many techniques to boot.

Xu Ran might be benevolent in demeanor, but when it came to lust, he was shameless to the extreme.

"Don't you want to know what the Elders said at the meeting? And about Xue'er's matters. I have prepared many opportunities for heart-to-heart talks with Xue'er. If you don't want to listen, then forget about it," said Xu Ran, nonchalant. Now it was Bi Bidong who needed him, not the other way around.

Bi Bidong may be beautiful, but he had plenty of options outside.

Xiaowu, Rongrong, Zhu Qing, Lingling, Dugu Yan, Hulena, Qian Renxue... So many people, with a wave of his hand, they would all vie to wait on him.

"What do you mean?" Bi Bidong's eyes lit up, she stopped moving immediately. Xu Ran was taking liberties with her, and she didn't resist.

Learning there was a chance to reconcile with Qian Renxue, she felt a sense of anticipation.
