Chapter 741: Go Give Xiaowu a Surprise_1
About fifteen minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing lay in Xu Ran's embrace, drenched in fragrant sweat.
"Xu Ran, who was that woman with you just now?" Zhu Zhuqing asked as she calmed down. Thinking about how she had been carried into the room by Xu Ran in front of that woman made her feel a bit shy.
"Oh. Take a guess."
"You must have deceived some innocent girl again. You're the best at deceiving girls, not only fooling them in body but also in heart." Zhu Zhuqing pouted her lips, convinced of her statement.
"Pfft. Is that how you see me in your heart? That can't be right." Xu Ran grimaced; he had thought he held a more heroic and wise image in their hearts.
"But, I quite like it. No matter what you are like, even if you're completely rotten, I still like you." Zhu Zhuqing chuckled.
"Well, OK. But that's not some woman I found outside. Her name is Ah Rou, and she's Xiaowu's mother," Xu Ran explained.
"What?" Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened. She had heard Xiaowu talk about her mother before but never imagined she would actually come back to life. My god, bringing the dead back to life; such a thing was completely unthinkable.
"How did you do it?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask. Could Xu Ran also possess the power to raise the dead?
"Of course, it's thanks to the Life Goddess." Xu Ran went on to tell Zhu Zhuqing about the Life Goddess and the Destruction God.
"So that's how it is." Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood. She hadn't expected Xu Ran to have experienced so much in Spirit City during these days. The Life Goddess, the Destruction God – these names were earth-shattering, belonging to beings beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Yet Xu Ran had been interacting with them over these past days.
Had Xu Ran become so powerful now?
"It was you who orchestrated our godhood inheritance, wasn't it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked sweetly. It wasn't only her; Rongrong and the others also received their godhood inheritance almost on the same day. For thousands of years on the Continent, countless powerhouses desired to embark on the path of godhood but couldn't even hope to see it despite their lifelong struggles.
And now, at their young ages, they had all received the legacy of gods.
Moreover, none of these godhoods were weak; in the Divine Realm, each was in charge of their own domain.
If it weren't for Xu Ran, such an opportunity would have been absolutely impossible for them.
"You are all very outstanding in your own right."
"But you were the decisive factor. Without you, we would never have this chance in our lifetimes." Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly, her eyes full of tenderness. Meeting Xu Ran in this life was her fortune.
"Let's go to the Divine Realm together and become immortals, spouses for life. Then, we will not grow old or die and will exist forever. When that time comes, we can do interesting things together every day," Xu Ran said. This was also one of his initial goals when he transmigrated to Soul Land.
To establish a vast "Harem" in the Divine Realm, to frolic and play with his wives every day, and live a life that even mandarin ducks would envy, not immortal beings.
Just like Caocao's Tongque Villa, where all the beauties of the world were gathered together.
"What interesting thing?" Zhu Zhuqing's heart thumped wildly.
"Of course, it's..." Xu Ran flipped over, pinning Zhu Zhuqing beneath him.
"Ah... stop... don't. There are people outside. We've been in the room for half an hour. We can't continue. How about next time?"
"You should go see Xiaowu now. She will be very happy if she finds out her mother has come back to life. Sneak over and give Xiaowu a surprise." Zhu Zhuqing pushed against Xu Ran's chest with both hands to keep him from getting closer.
She knew Xu Ran's character well; once he got clingy, sometimes a whole day and night weren't enough.
And Xu Ran tended to neglect his duties because of it. Such instances had become quite common.
"Fine, that makes sense." Xu Ran touched his nose, realizing that it was indeed not very nice to leave Ah Rou aside after hugging Zhu Qing the moment he saw her. But he simply missed his little kitten of a fiancée too much—she was the first woman he had pursued in Soul Land and held an irreplaceable place in his heart.
Even though he met many beauties later who were no less attractive than Zhu Zhuqing.
But how should he put it? Transcending from Earth and seeing an otherworldly beauty like Zhu Zhuqing for the first time had given him a heart-racing excitement that others could not compete with. Although more and more women entered his life later on, the more beauties he encountered, the stronger his resistance became. After getting used to delicacies, consuming them continuously would make them seem mundane. But if one starts with simple meals and then gets a taste of something delicious afterward, their appetite naturally increases.
Every time Xu Ran saw Zhu Qing, it was as if he could return to the moment he had first crossed over. When he saw how beautiful Zhu Zhuqing was, he desperately wanted to pin her down right there.
Even now, seeing Zhu Qing still evoked that same heart-racing excitement from back then.
That's called sentiment!
"Alright, then. Off you go, and remember to give Xiaowu a surprise," Zhu Zhuqing said kindly as she helped Xu Ran get dressed, then added. She felt Xiaowu would be very happy to know her mother had been revived.
"Okay. I'll come back to play with you after a few days, remember to be clean," Xu Ran gave Zhu Zhuqing's fair cheek a noisy kiss, and then she shooed him out.
"Sigh. Whether it's a surprise or a shock, I've got to go anyway," Xu Ran touched his nose, feeling a bit anxious even with his theoretical knowledge. Who knows what Xiaowu's reaction would be at that moment?
But delaying was no use, what had to come would eventually come.
"Have you finished what you needed to do?" Ah Rou approached Xu Ran, her face cold, glaring at him fiercely. That bastard Xu Ran had the audacity to be affectionate with another woman right in front of her, leaving her out in the cold—shameful!
"What can I do if you don't let me touch you? Is it wrong for me to go to Zhu Qing to stave off my craving?" Xu Ran said. Although he and Ah Rou had established their relationship, the conservative Ah Rou had yet to let him take the final step.
"Hmph. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're just trying to put me in my place, right?" Ah Rou gave Xu Ran a disdainful look, exuding charm. Did Xu Ran think he could make them fight amongst themselves, causing internal strife? Impossible!
"Not at all. You're overthinking it. Let's go, we're going to see Xiaowu. You must be missing Xiaowu a lot by now," Xu Ran said, pulling Ah Rou towards Xiaowu's loft. He was beginning to miss Xiaowu, too.
Ah Rou didn't speak further. Her longing for Xiaowu was the deepest. Xiaowu was her daughter, one of her dearest people. Years ago, she was even willing to die to protect Xiaowu. If not for that, she could have escaped with her "Cultivation Level". But while she could flee, Xiaowu could not, so she had to make that sacrifice.
However, her relationship with Xiaowu seemed to have changed now... Should they start calling each other sisters in the future? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess?
