Chapter 743 Qiankun Hanhai Cover_1

"Xu Ran, meeting you has truly been the greatest fortune of my life," Xiaowu said, crying tears of joy as she hugged Xu Ran's waist, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

She felt like crying, moved to tears.

How wonderful.

The two people she cared about most could now stay by her side, what more could she ask for?

"Go on then. Ah Rou is waiting outside for you two. Have a good talk," Xu Ran said, giving Xiaowu's pert bottom a pat and wrapping his arm around her as they went out to meet Ah Rou.

"Mom, you really came back to life. I thought I'd never see you again." Seeing Ah Rou, Xiaowu's tears instantly overflowed. She ran forward and embraced Ah Rou's delicate body, refusing to let go.

"Silly girl," said Ah Rou, her eyes softening at the sight of Xiaowu, her heart just as excited.

"Mom, let's never be apart again," Xiaowu said.

"Mmm. Even if we wanted to, it wouldn't be possible," Ah Rou gave a bitter smile and looked up, giving Xu Ran a glance. Weren't they going to be inseparable from now on? Maybe in the future, they could even live under the same roof, and perhaps…

Xu Ran was the head of the household; whatever tricks he had up his sleeve, how could they resist, even if they wanted?

They might refuse once or twice, but could they really refuse for a lifetime?

Impossible.

Xu Ran had thoroughly understood them, and there was no way out; they had to let Xu Ran have his way with them. Who made them fall in love with this bad man, Xu Ran?

"Cough cough, you two catch up first, I'll be going now," Xu Ran said loudly. He was ready to slip away; he felt something was off and feared that they might gang up against him shortly.

He was nearly experienced with such situations now.

Being a man is tough.

Thankfully, his wives were all quite sensible and generally managed to maintain their relationships well. But he felt that the relationship between Xiaowu and Ah Rou would probably be handled smoothly.

Even if Xiaowu harbored any resentment, she couldn't express it in the face of Ah Rou.

"I should check on the others too. It's only fair to spread my attention around," Xu Ran said. Having come back this time, he had to see everyone, or else there would be trouble later.

Xu Ran went to find Rongrong and Liu Erlong, touring around to see everyone.

Finally, Xu Ran went to the imperial palace to see Xue Ke.

At the Princess Mansion.

"What? Your father already knows about us?" Xu Ran asked Xue Ke in surprise.

"Of course. I sneaked away to Shrek Academy half a month ago to see if you had returned, and then my father found out," Xue Ke said seriously, fiddling with her snow-white slender fingers.

"And then what?" Xu Ran asked curiously.

"After that, my father said he agreed with us being together. I thought he was going to punish me. He had betrothed me to Davis, yet I secretly got together with you. Such things are absolutely scandalous for the royal household and are not normally permitted. But Father seemed surprisingly calm about our relationship after he found out."

"Moreover, he was very happy. It must be because of your strength," Xue Ke said proudly. Xu Ran was now famous across the Continent, known as a world-renowned powerhouse. It was fortunate she met Xu Ran early; otherwise, she might have been like so many other girls who admired Xu Ran, secretly treasuring his portrait.

"That's good," Xu Ran nodded.

Originally, he had thought that even if he took Xue Ke to the Xingluo Empire, he would only show off to Davis for a bit. But now, the situation turned out to be better than he expected, as Xue Ke had unexpectedly become his woman due to a twist of fate.

However, all of this stemmed from his strength.

When you become the mightiest in the world, everything yields to you.

"Hehe, now I'm no longer someone else's fiancée. From now on, I am just yours," Xue Ke snuggled into Xu Ran's embrace, her face brimming with happiness. Her demands were not high; she was already satisfied that she and Xu Ran could end up like this.

As a princess of the royal household, her sisters could not choose their other halves. They could only marry men they did not like for the benefit of the royal family.

Now, she was very content to have her father's recognition and to be with Xu Ran.

Before, she thought she would have to marry Davis, and although she could secretly be with Xu Ran behind the scenes, that would ultimately be unfair to Xu Ran. She had fallen in love with Xu Ran, and if Davis ever touched her, she would rather die than lose her chastity.

Now, she no longer needed to be conflicted about this issue. As for her engagement with Davis, the royal family would step in to fend off the matter, so she didn't need to worry about it and only needed to be with Xu Ran.

Xu Ran's strength was enough for the royal family to pay any price to win him over.

Her father had also said that as long as she and Xu Ran were together, that would be the greatest help to the Xue Family and the Tiandou Empire.

She didn't fully understand the meaning behind her father's words until news of Xu Ran's fame spread across the world, and then she understood.

The boy she liked had indeed become the peerless powerhouse of the world.

"Oh, by the way, father told me to give this to you," Xue Ke suddenly remembered something and took out a blue object from the storage soul tool. As soon as the object appeared, it emitted a robust energy fluctuation.

"Boundless Universe Shield," Xu Ran exclaimed in surprise, his voice engulfing the entire palace with a strong blue light.

The Boundless Universe Shield was only the size of a palm, entirely a translucent blue, shaped like a three-dimensional triangle. It looked as if it were carved from sapphire.

Within the crystalline blue light, a misty treasure light shimmered, while strange energy fluctuations continuously emanated from it. On this blue triangular crystal, patterns like water ripples undulated. These patterns didn't look engraved but seemed alive, with circles of blue light flickering, making the entire palace radiate a faint glow.

"Sea God's Trident," Xu Ran said, his face involuntarily breaking into a smile. He knew that this triangular-shaped Boundless Universe Shield was the core of the Sea God's Trident and contained the Sea God's Divine Sense within it.

If one obtained the recognition of the Sea God's Divine Sense, they could fully control the Sea God's Trident.

This Boundless Universe Shield is quite good, containing within it the Sea God's Divine Sense. If recognized, one can control the Sea God's Trident, becoming the Inheritor of the Sea God.

The Boundless Universe Shield also has four powerful abilities. In the original story, Tang San used these three abilities to evade many dangers.

However, Xu Ran was not interested in the Sea God's inheritance. The Sea God was only a First-Level God, albeit not bad, but it was too low-level for him.

For Xu Ran, having the Boundless Universe Shield to go to Sea God's Island in pursuit of Poseissi should make things much easier.

Poseissi, after all, was a famously stunning beauty in the original work. It was such a pity that in the story, Poseissi sacrificed herself for Tang San's ascension to godhood.

What's the use of sending a useless person like Tang San to godhood?

Tang San was not a match for Poseissi.

In this life, Poseissi was destined to become his, Xu Ran's, woman. The ones Xu Ran desired, he never failed to claim.
