Chapter 699: Leaving, A Promise_1

Xu Ran spent a day with Shrek Academy and the girls, then told them about some things.

He shared everything, including the identities of the Life Goddess and the Destruction God, and the reasons they came looking for Xu Ran. Of course, he omitted some secret details. He didn't want them to worry about him.

"Xu Ran, be very careful," Xiaowu said as she lay in Xu Ran's arms, her eyes filled with worry.

Clearly, the two Divine Kings were even more fearsome than Tang San.

Tang San could be subdued by humans, but the gods... If Xu Ran offended the two Divine Kings, he might indeed face danger. Moreover, the Divine Kings might have descended to the human world intending to act against Xu Ran initially, but upon realizing he could be of use to them, they retracted their murderous intent.

But what if Xu Ran couldn't heal them?

Or what if, after Xu Ran had healed them, they crossed the river and demolished the bridge?

Xu Ran spoke lightly, but beneath his ease lay turbulent undercurrents.

One misstep, and Xu Ran might shatter to pieces.

"Don't you trust me? The person who can kill me hasn't been born yet," Xu Ran said. He feared no threats. Everyone in this world had weaknesses; as long as one knew what they were, they weren't much to speak of.

Even gods were the same.

"Of course I trust you, I just hate that I'm helpless and can't assist you," Xiaowu voiced the sentiment that Zhu Qing and the others also wished to express. They really wanted to help Xu Ran, but the disparity in their strength was too great.

"You will be able to in the future."

"The Destruction God and the Life Goddess have promised me that if I help them with their troubles, they will grant you divine inheritance. These two Divine Kings have high prestige in the Divine Realm, each with a large following. When the time comes, I will find a way to make you all gods," Xu Ran said affectionately as he looked at Xiaowu.

The Divine Realm would be his, Xu Ran's, own domain in the future.

All the goddesses would be his wives, or else he would strip them of their godhood.

He didn't cross over to make the world a better place. Whether the world got better had nothing to do with him; as long as he was happy, that was enough.

Moreover, his wives were extraordinary, each with stunning talents. They would have no problems managing the Divine Realm.

"Really?" Xiaowu exclaimed.

Xu Ran's words brought her immense shock.

Could they also become gods?

Gods were beings of legend. If not for Xu Ran, they would never have had the chance to touch upon these secrets in their lifetime.

Of course, she wasn't interested in the power that came with becoming a god. Instead, being a god meant eternal youth, and more importantly, she could stay by Xu Ran's side. If Xu Ran went to the Divine Realm, they could all follow him there.

"Of course. Could your husband lie to you? I'll finagle the first godhood for you," Xu Ran teased, running his finger along Xiaowu's cute nose.

"Then what kind of god can I become?" Xiaowu blinked.

"Hmm... You've undergone Soul Beast Transformation, so would you like to be a Human God? Or a Divine Beast?" Xu Ran asked. It wasn't as difficult for a Divine Beast to become a god as for a Human God.

Xu Ran guessed that in the past, it wasn't so hard for soul beasts to become gods or to cultivate, it only became difficult after the Divine Realm came under the control of Human Gods.

Now that the Dragon God has been slain and the Golden Dragon King suppressed, the mightiest Divine Beast in the Divine Realm is probably only equivalent to a Second-Level God.

"If I could, I would still choose to be a Divine Beast," Xiaowu thought for a moment and said. She came to the human world solely for revenge, and she has never forgotten her soul beast identity.

"Then from now on, you can be the Rabbit God," Xu Ran smiled as he stroked Xiaowu's long hair and said.

"Is there really a Rabbit God in the Divine Realm? Or are you just fooling me?" Xiaowu pouted.

"Of course, there is. For a Divine Beast to become a god, all that's needed is sufficient 'Cultivation Level.' Wait until I replenish your essence, help you grow strong, and with the aid of the Destruction God, you will become the Rabbit God."

"Oh," Xiaowu nodded her head in surprise and joy. Whether Xu Ran was humoring her or not, she was happy.

"Xu Ran, are you and Qian Renxue...?" After a while, Xiaowu asked seriously. She had her suspicions since Xu Ran had not been with them these days. And during Xu Ran's battle with Tang San, she had observed Qian Renxue and Hulena, and she gradually understood.

"You already know?" Xu Ran gave a wry smile and told Xiaowu everything about Qian Renxue's previous secrecy in the Tiandou Empire and his matters with Hulena.

"Hmph. The people from Martial Soul Hall really are up to no good. Thinking so many evil thoughts and shamelessly seducing men," Xiaowu huffed with pride. She had never had a good impression of Martial Soul Hall.

However, Xu Ran could see that Xiaowu didn't blame him.

But that was under the premise that Xiaowu didn't know about him and Bi Bidong... otherwise, it'd be strange if Xiaowu wasn't angry.

"Precious Xiaowu, don't be angry. Next time, I will surely resurrect your mother. With the Life Goddess's help, I am confident things will be much simpler," Xu Ran kissed Xiaowu's forehead and said.

In truth, he was also curious about what Xiaowu's Mother looked like.

Xiaowu is already so beautiful.

As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter, then...

"Hee hee, Xu Ran, I love you to death. How did I not think of this? The Life Goddess governs life, surely she must have a way," Xiaowu declared, overwhelmed with joy.

...

After successfully appeasing the ladies, Xu Ran stealthily went to meet with Liu Erlong to share their joy together.

Flander had long been aware of the deep affection between Liu Erlong and Xu Ran, and the other women also knew it well.

After all, whether a woman has feelings for a man can be seen in her eyes. Liu Erlong's infatuation with Xu Ran was not just in the eyes; her legs would tremble at the sight of him, her body quivering with the desire to throw herself at him.

Xiaowu and the others were not foolish, they were fully aware.

Flander also understood and no longer thought about being with Liu Erlong. Letting go of his feelings for her had unburdened his heart. Liu Erlong was a good woman, and with Xu Ran, she found a good home, and he should not disturb them.

Moreover, Shrek Academy was filled with beauties, and as its headmaster... This was the legend of, if you work hard to make money, your wife could still be in kindergarten.

Two days later, the group left Spirit City. Xu Ran stayed behind for the reason that he needed to heal the two great Divine Kings present there, but he promised to visit them after a period, gathering his strength to make up for the absence later. With this assurance, the women left with peace of mind.

During this time, Xu Ran became the center of attention.

The arrival of the two great Divine Kings did not cause much stir, as only a select few knew of their identities. However, the strength displayed by Xu Ran and Tang San spread like wildfire, stunning countless people.

It could be said that Xu Ran, in the hearts of all in Soul Land, had become an existence akin to faith. Even the most spirited young men would speak of Xu Ran with utmost admiration.
