Chapter 737: The Life Goddess's Resentment, Truly a Bad Seed_1

Although Ah Rou was merciless with her words, her expression had softened quite a bit.

"Really, we are like sworn enemies," Ah Rou said with a huff, rolling her eyes at Xu Ran. Seeing his cheery expression made her lose her temper, and she couldn't help but pinch him hard on the waist.

"Hiss." Xu Ran sucked in a breath of cold air, pretending to be in a lot of pain. A man who knows how to act spoiled gets the love.

"Did I hurt you?" Ah Rou, seeing Xu Ran's pained expression, suddenly felt a twinge of heartache and couldn't stop blaming herself.

"Even if my body is in pain, it doesn't compare to the ache in my heart. You said you loved me a lot, and that you would marry no one but me, but now it seems you want to go back on your word," Xu Ran said, covering his heart.

"Hmph, it's just that you're shameless. If you had told me sooner about your relationship with Xiaowu, I would never have fallen for you," Ah Rou said with a sense of grievance, glaring at Xu Ran.

"What should we do now? Do you still love me?" Xu Ran asked, holding Ah Rou's hand.

"Mmm." Ah Rou lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Upon introspection, she indeed still loved Xu Ran.

If she didn't love Xu Ran, knowing such a big mistake he made and his relation to Xiaowu, she would have turned against him. In reality, she simply couldn't bear to say a harsh word to Xu Ran.

Even when angry, it was nothing more than a symbolic gesture.

Sometimes, when true love really comes, nothing can stop two people from being together.

Many people might never meet the person they truly love in their lifetime, hence they can't comprehend this feeling. Once they do meet that person, they might be capable of doing anything, no matter how extreme.

"So that settles it. You love me, and I love you, it's only natural for us to be together."

"But..."

Ah Rou paused, looking somewhat dazed.

Why did something that seemed so complicated and difficult appear so easy for Xu Ran to say? If it were an ordinary person facing this situation, who knows what might happen.

Yet, Xu Ran didn't seem to take anything to heart.

"Nothing can stop us from being together. Just being together like this is wonderful, so why bother thinking about so many troublesome things? Some things won't happen if you don't think about them."

"We should live in the moment. Now, like this, just the two of us, it's really nice, isn't it?" Xu Ran said.

Ah Rou, listening to Xu Ran's words, thought for a while and chose not to speak any further.

A realization dawned in her heart.

Ah Rou leaned on Xu Ran's shoulder, watching the sunset slowly descend with him.

"Xu Ran, when I'm revived, can we still be together like this?" Ah Rou gently asked. She was afraid that what she had with Xu Ran was nothing but a dream.

"We can. And by then, Xiaowu will also be by your side," Xu Ran said.

"Mm. Maybe that would be nice, too," Ah Rou said, tilting her head. She suddenly felt that things might not be as bad as she had imagined. Having both Xu Ran and Xiaowu by her side sounded quite good.

Only, how should she and Xiaowu address each other then?

As sisters?

The sun set in the west.

Xu Ran and Ah Rou slowly drifted into slumber.

...

In the secret chamber.

"How did it go?" the Life Goddess asked Xu Ran curiously. Bi Bidong was also looking at Xu Ran nervously.

If Ah Rou couldn't be revived, Xiaowu would still harbor hatred towards her. Sooner or later, they would inevitably fight with each other beside Xu Ran. She did not want that to happen; if it annoyed Xu Ran, both she and Xiaowu would end up out of favor.

With so many beauties surrounding Xu Ran, certainly the one who made him happy would receive his affection. She did not want to fall out of favor.

"It's done," Xu Ran nodded.

He himself was somewhat dazed, having spent so many days with Ah Rou in her consciousness, witnessing her true emotions. Ah Rou was truly a virtuous wife and good mother, a virtuous wife, good mother.

The next moment, on the bed, Ah Rou slowly opened her eyes.

She looked up at the unfamiliar room around her, her gaze fixating on Xu Ran. The real Xu Ran was clearly much more perfect than the one in her dreams, and it took Ah Rou a good while before she could take her eyes off him.

Then she saw Bi Bidong, her once sworn enemy.

Back then, it was Bi Bidong who wanted to take her soul rings and soul bones, but now both she and Bi Bidong had become Xu Ran's women. Perhaps this too was a twisted fate.

"Now that it's successful, I'll take my leave," the Life Goddess said with a smile, her gaze at Xu Ran carrying a hint of strangeness. She knew the relationship between Xu Ran and Ah Rou, but the way they looked at each other just now seemed a bit off.

"Really such a bad seed, not a good thing at all," the Life Goddess lingered beside Xu Ran for a moment, whispering words that only she and Xu Ran could hear. Her pretty face showed a trace of deep resentment, mixed with some annoyance.

She had asked Xu Ran to awaken Ah Rou, but what had he done instead?

Was he seducing women?

Sure enough, men were no good, and Xu Ran was no exception.

"Green Sister, don't be angry, be careful not to stress the baby," Xu Ran said with a sheepish smile, telepathically. He was no longer afraid of the Life Goddess now. He was the father of the child in her belly, how could the Life Goddess do anything to him?

Moreover, Green Sister was fond of him.

Right now, he was planning when to plot with Green Sister to take down the Destruction God.

Of course, this could only be done when the time was right.

Otherwise, if the Destruction God were to die, the entire Divine Realm would be thrown into an uproar. At that point, it would be like he was formally declaring war on the Divine Realm. It would be no small skirmish then, as the Divine King was not someone the Rakshasa God could compare with.

So, if it's possible to delay, then delay it is, until the Destruction God discovers everything. By then, he would have no choice but to take out the Destruction God early, to rid himself of one formidable enemy sooner.

"You!" The Life Goddess's legs trembled, and she almost stumbled to the ground. She glared at Xu Ran fiercely, teeth clenched in anger. If Xu Ran really cared about the child in her belly, how could he have engaged in such absurd behavior?

Parents are the child's first teachers.

Thankfully, the child in her belly was a girl, so Xu Ran's influence on her would be somewhat less. If it had been a boy, learning from Xu Ran, wouldn't that be disastrous?

"Come to my room later, we have important things to do," the Life Goddess said as she walked to the door, then turned back and added. If Xu Ran couldn't satisfy her, she'll see how she would punish him!

"Oh," Xu Ran nodded complacently. He was feeling a bit uncomfortable himself. After staying in the dream with Ah Rou for so long, having been able to look but not touch, he was nearly bursting.

The odd behavior of Xu Ran and the Life Goddess went unnoticed by Bi Bidong and Ah Rou.

At some point, Bi Bidong and Ah Rou had already taken each other's hands and were sitting at the head of the bed, appearing to be as close as sisters. Xu Ran found it quite ridiculous. Was this the so-called plastic sisterhood? They were clearly enemies, and although they had now resolved their grudges, it hardly meant they had any true feelings for each other. Was this all for show?

However, once they got to know each other, they should be able to get along without a problem.
