Xu Ran gave Snow Emperor some instructions, and she went to carry them out with thunderous efficiency.
The Myriad Beasts Armor successfully upgraded to a super God Rank, its aura subtly radiating was multiple times stronger than before. This filled Xu Ran with indescribable joy!
Previously, when Xu Ran crossed hands with the Destruction God, he had tasted the benefits of this defensive Divine Artifact. Now that the Myriad Beasts Armor had upgraded to a super divine weapon, he was naturally over the moon.
Now, with nothing holding him back, he only needed to head to the Divine Realm.
Soon, the Divine Realm would also be in his hands.
Another thing that satisfied Xu Ran immensely was Snow Emperor's absolute submissiveness to him.
He had thought Snow Emperor would be extremely proud, aloof and indifferent to external things. However, Snow Emperor's behavior completely defied his expectations; she hardly ever contradicted his requests and was exceedingly gentle and skilled, completely shocking Xu Ran.
If the ferocious beasts in the far northern lands knew that their esteemed and aloof goddess was so docile around Xu Ran, what would they think? It would probably be quite unsettling.
But such strong women appear arrogant only because their strength has reached an unassailable level, making it hard for anyone to shake their hearts, hence they might seem a bit proud. In reality, it's not the case at all.
If you can enter their hearts, they can be as romantically versatile as any other woman.
Even the tenderness and emotions they exhibit can be richer than others'. After all, having been alone for hundreds of thousands of years, they naturally cherish someone who suddenly enters their heart.
And Snow Emperor had also agreed to "that" with Xu Ran.
This kind of resolute and swift action made Xu Ran even more fond of Snow Emperor.
The affections of soul beasts are scorching hot; once they've confirmed their sincerity, they no longer hesitate.
"Xu Ran, I've completed all the tasks you assigned, including taking down North Blue." Snow Emperor entered Xu Ran's room, carrying a plate of fresh fruits, the origins of which were unknown. She had followed the customs of the human world and cut the fruits to feed Xu Ran, continuing to feed him as she spoke.
As the master of the far northern lands, it was unlikely for her to serve others. But around Xu Ran, she considered everything meticulously, attending to Xu Ran to the point he became lazy.
Xu Ran was completely stunned these days; was this also a side of Snow Emperor?
But all people are the same; it's just that those who stand lower have a natural sense of adoration towards those who stand taller, gradually forming a sense of distance as if they should naturally be so.
It was like how Xu Ran, the underachiever from his previous life, looked up to top students.
Similarly, outsiders feel awe towards Snow Emperor's dignity and pride simply because they cannot reach a higher status than Snow Emperor.
The goddess you grovel before sometimes grovels before others too. It's like a food chain...
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you're thinking of doing something naughty again?"
Feeling weak under Xu Ran's gaze and blushing, Snow Emperor stuttered.
Having promised to be Xu Ran's woman, how could he let her go? So, when the opportunity arose, Xu Ran came together with Snow Emperor.
Xu Ran used to enjoy the process of falling in love, but now he increasingly valued the outcome. Perhaps he grew tired of it after experiencing it too many times. However, women like the Snow Emperor surely placed more importance on the process of getting to know Xu Ran. But Xu Ran no longer had the leisure or the inclination to pay attention to these things.
As he drew closer to his final step, Xu Ran's heart grew more restless.
Just thinking about becoming the Dominator of the Divine Realm and controlling over a dozen continents under its jurisdiction thrilled him beyond measure.
The Vast Continent in "Soul Land," the Profound Heaven Continent, the Qin Emperor... There were so many exquisite female leads in these various planes.
But these were planes he controlled; he would easily obtain those female leads in these worlds. He would govern the laws of these worlds, so getting those women would naturally be a piece of cake.
What Xu Ran cared more about was going to other worlds.
Like the Fighting Spirit Continent, for instance. That would be even more exhilarating. He had long desired the women from these continents. In fact, his most anticipated world to traverse to in his past life wasn't Soul Land, but other Xuanhuan worlds. Those stunning female leads truly captivated him.
While there were countless beautiful women in the world, it was like a collectible card game to him; only those women who left a profound impression in comics could draw his attention.
"My Lord, are you thinking of other women?"
Snow Emperor noticed Xu Ran was distracted and spoke with a hint of complaint. Her pouting lips and a touch of grievance on her stunning face were truly pitiable.
"No," said Xu Ran, his words not matching his true feelings.
"Liar. I've known for a long time that you have many other women. And your gaze is deceptive; you can't fool me," Snow Emperor said, her jade-like fingers caressing Xu Ran's cheek, her voice as melodic as an oriole.
"No matter how many women I have, I won't let you down. I think you knew what I was like when you agreed to be with me; it's not like you would leave me just because I have many women by my side," Xu Ran said, pulling Snow Emperor into his embrace and peeling a tangerine to feed her a slice.
Feeling the silky softness of Snow Emperor's lips under his fingertips, Xu Ran's heart stirred. She truly was a paragon among women!
"That's not it," she said.
"If your strength was only slightly greater than mine, I would certainly not accept it. If you were to think about other women, I would not agree and would surely be angry. But you are so much stronger than me. Even if you favored only me, I would worry about whether I'm worthy enough," Snow Emperor remarked quite openly.
"You are the leader of the Soul Beast Clan, aloof and preoccupied with many matters that even we cannot reach. I cannot help you with other things, so naturally, I cannot get upset with you over this. Moreover, I have only just started being with you; I have no right to meddle in your affairs with the other women," she added.
Snow Emperor's words caught Xu Ran completely off guard.
"We women all like strong and domineering men. With your great strength, I would naturally agree to whatever you say. If I didn't submit to you, I wouldn't have agreed to become yours," Snow Emperor said with seriousness.
"I see," Xu Ran quipped as he lightly flicked Snow Emperor's delicate nose.
In Xu Ran's former society, the saying went that men desired women for their looks, and women desired men for their wealth.
In this world, it was much the same; Xu Ran coveted their bodies, and they were in awe of Xu Ran's strength and other qualities.
The logic was universally understood. So-called love at first sight worked this way; women never fell for impoverished men at first sight, just as men never fell for unattractive women at first sight.
It was normal for Snow Emperor to be moved by Xu Ran's qualifications. Should Xu Ran wish it, not only Snow Emperor, but all the other women who stood lofty before the world would bow before him.
