Chapter 677 Beginning with Appearance, Ending with Deep Love_1

"Damn it, I can't believe I did such a ridiculous thing with you," Bi Bidong's face was tinged with a blush, looking at Xu Ran with a mix of shyness and annoyance.

She hadn't expected that in the end, she would still be... outwitted by Xu Ran.

But this time she was willing.

Xu Ran was a gentleman through and through and knew how to cherish a woman.

Now, she understood her true feelings. She liked someone honest and kind like Xu Ran.

"Now you won't refuse me anymore, right? If you upset me, I'll kiss you in front of Xue'er," Xu Ran chuckled mischievously, knowing exactly how to make Bi Bidong listen to him.

"No, that's not okay. If you do that, I'll never pay attention to you again," Bi Bidong glared at him with seductive eyes, thinking that if Xue'er found out, she would rather die. How embarrassing would that be?

And wouldn't her relationship with Xue'er get even worse?

"I was just joking," Xu Ran quickly added.

"But if you really want to reconcile with Xue'er once and for all, I do have an idea," Xu Ran pondered. Even if they explained everything, the estrangement from not seeing each other for so many years wouldn't disappear so easily.

The best outcome would be that although their grievances were resolved, they would only eliminate their resentments and end up as familiar strangers.

"What's your idea?" Bi Bidong looked at Xu Ran with curiosity.

She felt Xu Ran always had clever schemes and surely had a way.

"Become sisters in the future. If you're honest with each other, things will get better," Xu Ran suggested. This was the best way. Although it seemed a bit crude, there was a saying, "Brothers who have visited a brothel together..." For women, relationships would become much closer after sharing the same man.

All previous constraints and rigidity would be dropped in that moment.

After doing such an embarrassing thing together, what else could be a big deal?

Now Xiaowu, Zhu Qing, and the others had a good relationship. It wasn't without this factor driving it.

"Tch, what a bad idea."

"Are you trying to kill me? Xue'er is already dissatisfied with me, and if I follow your suggestion..." Bi Bidong glared at Xu Ran irritably, feeling he was deliberately making lewd jokes to tease her.

"If you don't believe it, then forget it; it's really a good method," Xu Ran said helplessly. Sometimes, simple things could have the best impact. Other methods lacked sincerity.

"Later, I will arrange for you to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xue'er. Just share your grievances with her. Just tell her about the hardships you've faced over the years. Xue'er seems very strong on the surface, but she's actually very tender-hearted. If she knows about your struggles, she will start seeing you in a new light," he continued.

"At that time, I will also speak about your good points in front of Xue'er. As for how much your relationship with her can recover, I don't know," Xu Ran naturally hoped that Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue's relationship would be restored.

Wouldn't it be perfect to add Hulena to the mix during the wee hours?

"That's more like it. However, don't talk about our affair publicly in the future. Let's keep it a secret, alright? I don't want others to know about our relationship. I don't want Xue'er to find out, and I certainly don't want to tarnish your reputation," Bi Bidong said.

Xu Ran was now a peerless genius, a hero worshipped by countless on the Continent.

If the affair between Xu Ran and her were exposed, it would blemish his otherwise glorious reputation.

She didn't want that.

Xu Ran was lofty, he was perfect, and she didn't want there to be any stain on him.

Xu Ran deserved to be revered by all.

She already felt this way; even without a title or recognition, she would still love Xu Ran. Reputation? She had never asked for these; just being by Xu Ran's side was enough. Just that alone left her very content.

"What nonsense are you spouting? You are the person I cherish. How could I bear to let you always sneak around after me? I can't stand it."

"Just give me some more time, I'll think of a way. As long as I think hard, there will always be a way." Xu Ran wrapped his arms around Bi Bidong's shoulders, allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder.

Bi Bidong, stunning beyond compare, was an extraordinary woman.

She had been deceived, oppressed, incited, and only then did she become like this.

The past her had already endured much suffering. In the future, he hoped to bring Bi Bidong joy, and liked to see her smiling face every day.

Though Xu Ran was lustful, he desired not only their bodies.

It began with looks, but ended with deep love.

Even though at first he was all about looks, after he got to know them more deeply, he truly understood their character. Each and every one of them was good, worthy of his sincere affection.

Bi Bidong leaned on Xu Ran's body and said no more. She liked this feeling, so quiet and warm. Having Xu Ran by her side was wonderful! She wished to never part from Xu Ran in this lifetime.

...

In the Aquipeia Forest, Yu Xiaogang's clothes were torn and tattered, his body covered with wounds.

He ran as if his life depended on it, occasionally glancing back in terror. He felt panicked because several strong soul beasts were chasing after him.

They all possessed powerful bodies and looked at Yu Xiaogang as if he were a precious treasure.

"Help, no!"

"Xu Ran, I hate you. It's bad enough you stole Dong'er from me. That's fine, take Dong'er, but why must I suffer like this? Are you even human?"

"If I see Dong'er again, I must expose your despicable and shameless character to her."

"I don't know if my dear student has managed to kill Xu Ran by now. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she were a bit stronger and had killed Xu Ran?"

As Yu Xiaogang ran, he lamented his fate.

Tears streamed down his face, feeling utterly miserable. Xu Ran seemed to be the nemesis of both him and Tang San; without Xu Ran, they could have easily prospered. But with Xu Ran's appearance, their days turned sorrowful.

This was not just sorrowful, it was worse than death.

Damn it, these soul beasts were too strong, truly too strong.

He felt he really couldn't take it anymore; his bones were about to fall apart.

Now, all he could think about was when Bi Bidong would come to save him.

"Damn it, Bi Bidong is nothing but a vile woman. Not even bothering to look for me; doesn't she know I'm suffering right now?"

"What an idiotic woman with no brains. She was fooled by me back in the day, just as she is being fooled by Xu Ran now. It's obvious Xu Ran is deliberately messing with me, and this foolish woman can't see it?"

Yu Xiaogang was filled with resentment. Bi Bidong hadn't come to rescue him for so many days, which increased his resentment towards her.

He cursed furiously, Bi Bidong, that foolish woman...

However, he soon realized something was off. Those two people just now...

Yu Xiaogang lifted his head to look at the two people in front of him, his gaze vacant, completely stunned.

How did she come... How did Xu Ran come too...
