"Cough." Tang San's face turned a bit dark.
He had met the Life Goddess before and naturally knew what a peerlessly beautiful person she was.
Facing such an unrivaled beauty, there's probably not a man who wouldn't be moved. Even Tang San was very tempted.
Damn it, such a stunning beauty, wasted in the hands of the Destruction God, is just too frustrating.
Seeing the Destruction God's idiotic behavior, Xu Ran flirting with the Life Goddess and him being happy about it, Tang San was simply at a loss for words. Before, he thought Xu Ran had no chance with the Life Goddess, but seeing the foolishness of the Destruction God, he had dismissed that thought.
If he didn't intervene, there was no doubt the Life Goddess would fall for Xu Ran. In everything else, Xu Ran might not be competent, but when it came to seducing women, he certainly had a knack.
"This is ridiculous, he's been the big boss in the Divine Realm for so long, he's completely out of touch with the outside world. Everything can revolve around him, and he believes whatever Xu Ran does is what he wants, it's just laughable." Knowing the truth, Tang San was almost defeated by the Destruction God's actions. Faced with such decisions by the Destruction God, he didn't even know what to say.
If it weren't for his need to rely on the Destruction God's power to eliminate Xu Ran, he would definitely wash his hands of the whole affair.
Then, the Destruction God could only watch helplessly as Xu Ran and the Life Goddess embraced each other, and by that time Xu Ran's strength would have already grown.
Without his help, there's no doubt that this would be the Destruction God's future.
"Tang San, what's with that look on your face?"
"I know that Xu Ran seduced your woman before. But Xu Ran definitely can't use the same tactics on Xiao Lü. Xiao Lü isn't that kind of person. Our feelings have been the same for hundreds of millions of years." The Destruction God laughed, patting Tang San's shoulder.
He knew Xu Ran had left a shadow in Tang San's heart, making him view everyone as potential victims of the same tragic fate as his.
What's this called? A persecution complex.
Having lived for so many years, he naturally had seen such people before. He wasn't surprised anymore.
If Xu Ran managed to steal Tang San's woman, it only proved Tang San's incompetence, and he, the Destruction God, was not like the incapable Tang San.
Besides, Xiao Lü wasn't someone Xu Ran could seduce.
He had observed carefully these past few days, and Xu Ran hadn't made any inappropriate moves towards Xiao Lü. If he dared to do anything bad, Xiao Lü would have dealt with him long ago.
"Damn it." Tang San cursed inwardly.
He hadn't expected to be mocked by the Destruction God himself. The Destruction God was a tragic figure himself; they were at best a case of the pot calling the kettle black, what gave him the right to laugh at him?
No, the Destruction God might not be better off than him.
At least he had always been striving to win back Xiaowu, while the Destruction God knew nothing and even deliberately let Xu Ran get close to the Life Goddess, as if he was afraid Xu Ran wouldn't succeed in winning her over.
This move was simply hilarious to him.
Not afraid of a god-like opponent, but fearful of a pig-like teammate.
He now felt that the Destruction God was like a pig teammate, the kind that dug pits for others without paying with his life.
"Man, just be more generous, what's the big deal? Just endure and it will pass," the Destruction God said with a laugh. He found it amusing.
Once Xu Ran had everything sorted out, he could start living the married life with Xiao Lü, the thought of it was just exhilarating.
…
Xu Ran and the Life Goddess came out.
Originally, he was planning to find Bi Bidong and then head directly to Slaughter City. But from the moment he saw Tang San, he understood what Tang San was planning. They were old adversaries, after all, and he was very familiar with Tang San.
So, he wanted to provoke Tang San, to let Tang San see how well he was living now.
Relying on the Destruction God to kill him? That was simply impossible.
Now that the Life Goddess has been pursued by him, the Destruction God is still laughing as he watches them together.
"Destroyer Your Highness." Xu Ran smiled as he bowed.
"No need for formalities, Xu Ran, how's your research coming along?" The Destruction God waved his hand, clearly impatient.
He believed that Xu Ran was a talent and would definitely not let him down.
"There's been some progress."
Xu Ran said lightly as a trace of destructive aura emerged from his hands. Then, gently, Xu Ran took the delicate hand of the Life Goddess. In front of the Destruction God, he didn't hesitate.
He knew the Destruction God wouldn't blame him.
He was conducting an experiment.
"This?" Sure enough, the pupils of the Destruction God narrowed, his focus not on Xu Ran holding the hand of the Life Goddess. He noticed that Xu Ran's attribute of destruction and the Life Goddess's Life Attribute seemed not to conflict with each other.
How was this possible?
The Destruction God was both surprised and excited.
And Tang San was left dumbfounded by this audacious move.
When Xu Ran took the Life Goddess's hand, he too was startled. He thought that by now the Destruction God would be furious!
But the reaction of the Destruction God... left him completely dumbfounded.
Could it be that the Destruction God had a liking for this kind of thing? He found being with the Life Goddess bland, but became excited when she was with someone else?
Damn it...
Is there no justice in this world?
However, he always felt that there was more to it, that Xu Ran must have tricked the Destruction God, and even tricked him badly.
"Excellent!"
"Excellent!"
"Excellent!"
The Destruction God exclaimed 'excellent' three times, each louder than the last.
Watching Xu Ran holding Xiao Lü's hand without any sign of rejection, he was elated. He was already daydreaming about his future blissful life. If he and Xiao Lü had no rejection, how wonderful would his life be in the future?
No woman under the heavens could compare to one ten-thousandth of Xiao Lü.
Xu Ran was indeed a talent. He had always thought Xu Ran was a talent, and today it seemed to be the case.
Xu Ran truly lived up to his expectations; he was indeed extraordinary.
"Destroyer Your Highness, the destructiveness in you is too concentrated. I can only manage to merge a small amount of the attribute of destruction with the Life Attribute for now. To go further will require more time." Xu Ran smiled. He didn't even know why his attributes could coexist peacefully with any other attributes, maybe it was because of the System.
"Hmm, take your time with the research. I was worried that there would be no progress, but it seems I was overthinking it."
"Xu Ran, you are quite good!" The Destruction God looked at him with an appreciative gaze, feeling that Xu Ran was becoming more and more competent.
"Thank you, Destroyer Your Highness, but about that godhood you mentioned before..." Xu Ran spoke as he continuously stroked the small hand of the Life Goddess, rather infatuated. It was incredibly soft and boneless. The aura of the Life Goddess was comforting, and her body was like warm jade, making one linger and forget to return.
"Rest assured, I won't go back on my word, I will finalize those godhoods right away," the Destruction God said generously. Xu Ran had solved a big problem for him, so naturally, his mood was good. Those godhoods, first and second-tier gods, he didn't take seriously. Anyway, they were to be passed down, and giving them to Xu Ran as a favor didn't seem like a bad idea.
