"Green Sister, I like you," Xu Ran said, his hands tightly wrapped around the waist of the Life Goddess, palms resting on her flat belly with not an ounce of extra flesh. He inhaled the refreshing fragrance emanating from the Life Goddess, feeling utterly content.
Soon, he would also have the Life Goddess pursued and won over, becoming his woman.
The women he wanted, he got, even if it was a goddess from the Divine Realm.
In the past, his affection for the Life Goddess was solely for her fame and status. If he could win over a goddess like her, and see such a noble and unmatched woman worrying and fretting over him, that would give him immense satisfaction.
But now he discovered that the Life Goddess was indeed quite wonderful, possessing a charming side to her. Most importantly, she was pure yet commanding, exuding an impressive sisterly grace.
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the Life Goddess froze.
She stood there, dazedly, tall and graceful, with an admirable figure.
Her rosy lips slightly parted, she was completely stunned by Xu Ran's words.
Even Xiao Zi had never spoken any words of love to her, though he treated her very well. But his temper and divine power attribute meant he would never lower himself to show affection for her.
This was her first time, her very first time.
All at once, a warm current surged through her heart.
Those three words seemed magical, lingering in her ear, impossible to dismiss. Her body softened, and she felt as intoxicated as if she were drunk.
"Xu Ran, don't talk nonsense. We've only known each other for a short time, how could you possibly like me?" the Life Goddess spat out lightly. She looked down at her beautiful legs, her heart pounding uncontrollably, unable to calm down.
She didn't dare look up at Xu Ran.
No matter how powerful she was, in matters of love, she was vulnerable.
In a sense, the Life Goddess had no experience with emotions, while Xu Ran was battle-hardened. Flirting came naturally to him; with a mere touch of routine, he could throw the Life Goddess into a state of anxious turmoil.
And Xu Ran was equally adept at lying, capable of concocting tales at any moment, often convincing even himself with his fabrications. It was as though he genuinely felt that way.
This time, Xu Ran's declaration of liking the Life Goddess was true, though the emotional element was slightly less, with more of a focus on physical desire.
Xu Ran was not like other unscrupulous male leads who coveted a woman's body but pretended it was love at first sight. How hypocritical.
Xu Ran was honest; he simply lusted after the body of the Life Goddess.
Love, after all, needed to be cultivated gradually. As the saying goes, love grows over time. How could you claim to have feelings for someone just after a few meetings and conversations? Wouldn't you feel disingenuous?
"Xu Ran..." The Life Goddess felt a bit guilty. Seeing that Xu Ran remained silent, she lifted her lovely cheeks to look at him, meeting his passionate gaze, and quickly lowered her head again.
"Green Sister, do you believe in love at first sight?" Xu Ran asked gently, his voice magnetic and slightly hoarse with a distinct masculinity that would have captivated any audiophile present.
"Love at first sight?" The Life Goddess's beautiful eyes softened. Could it be that Xu Ran had fallen for her at first sight? Previously, she never believed in love at first sight, but after meeting Xu Ran, she felt that anything was possible.
Just like with Xu Ran...
"Yeah, Green Sister, from the very first moment I saw you, I fell for you. You have no idea how much I liked you back then. But with the Destruction God around, no matter how much I wanted to, I could only think about it and couldn't act," Xu Ran said, a smile curving at the corner of his mouth. Who wouldn't like a goddess as beautiful as the Life Goddess? Could there be anyone who would complain about having too many beautiful wives?
Xu Ran didn't mind; the more, the merrier.
As long as she was beautiful enough, he wouldn't mind having a hundred million beautiful wives.
"Really? I don't believe it," the Life Goddess said with suspicion as she looked at Xu Ran. She knew Xu Ran was very skilled at sweet-talking, and the pretty girls in Soul Land had all been charmed by him, endlessly throwing themselves into Xu Ran's arms. Could it be that Xu Ran was now trying to charm her?
At that thought, she became a bit wary.
She hated being deceived in matters of the heart the most. If Xu Ran dared to lie to her, she would kill him.
"Really," Xu Ran insisted.
"After I met Green Sister, my heart belonged to her."
"Back then, I was unable to sleep at night, your image filled my mind. With my eyes closed, it was all you. Thinking of you during the day, longing at night. I knew it was impossible between us, but I couldn't control myself, I wanted to be with you."
"When I heard the Destruction God speak of how your attributes counteracted each other, and you wanted to find me for help, I agreed without a second thought. I had no idea what the consequences of that decision could be at the time. If I failed the mission given by the Destruction God and disappointed him, I might have died. I didn't think about any of that back then; all I knew was that it would bring me closer to Green Sister. Just seeing Green Sister every day would have satisfied me," Xu Ran spoke, sincerity filling his dark eyes.
"You…"
The Life Goddess was somewhat at a loss.
She looked up into Xu Ran's eyes, which were full of sincere light.
Although she wasn't very clear about emotions, she was an expert in reading people. With her many years of experience, she could see that Xu Ran was definitely not lying to her. It would have been impossible for such a sincere look to be in his eyes if he had deceived her.
But the more truthful he was, the more unnerved she became.
She had previously thought that Xu Ran was just lusting after her body and had not truly been moved, but now she understood.
She suddenly realized why Xu Ran had agreed to help her and Xiao Zi balance their attributes so she could conceive Xiao Zi's child. Though Xu Ran could not fulfill the task, he still agreed; he did it all just to be a little closer to her.
At this thought, the Life Goddess couldn't help feeling a bit of heartache.
She couldn't imagine that in this world, there was someone who would make such a big sacrifice to be with her.
The image of Xu Ran, bloodied and battered as he tried to save Bi Bidong, surfaced in her mind. If Xu Ran loved her, perhaps he would do the same for her.
Xu Ran was not a bad person; although he was a bit of a playboy, he had never done anything truly bad. Also, Xu Ran had always been serious when it came to the people he loved.
"Xu Ran, why be so foolish? If Xiao Zi found out about your ambition, he would really kill you. Even if I spared you, he wouldn't," the Life Goddess said. She couldn't help feeling pity as she looked at Xu Ran.
Not long ago, Xu Ran had been severely injured, and although he recovered quickly with her help, Xu Ran still needed to rest. But instead of doing so, he had come directly to her.
Perhaps this also showed his place in her heart.
