Chapter 968 Leaving_1

Nalan Yanran's pretty face grew increasingly red, and the thought of what she had just considered made her even more embarrassed.

"Nalan Yanran, oh Nalan Yanran, how could you possibly submit just because of his strength and good looks?"

So what if he is a Dou Zong Expert?

Dou Zong Experts are well-experienced and knowledgeable, so how could he truly like her? Even if he's interested in her appearance, it's unlikely that he would genuinely care for her.

What woman wouldn't a powerhouse like him have if he wanted?

Even though her looks are exceptional, there are plenty around the world who surpass her in beauty.

Such a powerhouse might just be acting on a whim; it's impossible for him to have a lasting interest in her.

Thinking this, Nalan Yanran actually began to feel a sense of loss.

Nalan Yanran arranged for the disciples to rest, then went to collect the Magical Beast Cores of those two beasts. The cores of the Second Order and Third Order Magical Beasts were extremely precious to her.

"Senior, these are your spoils of battle," Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment, walked up to Xu Ran, and said in a gentle voice.

As she moved gracefully, the unique charm of a lady from a prominent family was evident.

Especially her legs wrapped in white silk, which attracted Xu Ran's gaze.

Thinking that Nalan Yanran was Xiao Yan's fiancée, Xu Ran became even more excited.

For Xu Ran, the relationship between Nalan Yanran and himself was obviously more thrilling than her beauty.

After all, who could resist the temptation of being Xiao Huohuo's fiancée?

"These are all for you," Xu Ran glanced at the Magical Beast Cores in Nalan Yanran's hand and said. These lower-order beast cores were of no value to Xu Ran.

For Xu Ran, the only thing of interest on the Fighting Spirit Continent was the special profession of the Alchemist.

Xu Ran was well aware that Alchemy was not unique to the Fighting Spirit Continent.

In other worlds, the profession of an Alchemist was also respected.

Therefore, it naturally attracted Xu Ran's attention.

Knowing how to make Elixirs would be greatly beneficial in the future when he controlled the Fighting Spirit Continent and then went on to other, more advanced continents.

And although his strength was sufficient now, that was only relative to the Divine Realm and Fighting Spirit Continent. The Fighting Spirit Continent was just a minor plane within the Great Thousand World.

"Oh," Nalan Yanran nodded lightly. She knew how noble Xu Ran's identity was, and these items were naturally beneath his notice. Yet they were of great significance to her, as she was only at the Douzhe Cultivation Level now.

Even though she had a special status within the Yunlan Sect, she couldn't casually absorb these high-order cores.

"You..."

Nalan Yanran bit her lip, hesitating.

She wasn't clear about Xu Ran's intentions—did he want her now?

With Xu Ran's strength, he wouldn't spend much effort on her, so probably...

Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly. The thought of losing her virginity in such a manner was somewhat intolerable.

"What are you thinking, girl? Am I that kind of person? I haven't said I was going to devour you right now," Xu Ran whispered in Nalan Yanran's ear.

"Ah?" Nalan Yanran blushed deeply. Her secret thoughts being seen through and spoken aloud by Xu Ran made her somewhat embarrassed.

At the same time, she also sighed with relief.

"I just heard that you're engaged to someone else?" Xu Ran looked at Nalan Yanran, pretending to be unaware.

"Yes." Nalan Yanran nodded, not hiding anything.

"You're my woman, how can you be someone else's fiancée?"

"That engagement was arranged by my grandfather, I've never even met Xiao Yan." Nalan Yanran explained. The thought of Xiao Yan filled her with disappointment.

What would life even mean if she had to be with someone like Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan's "Cultivation Level" had been falling for years, he hadn't achieved the Dou Zhe level all these years, and perhaps he would never have the chance to become a Dou Zhe, let alone reach a more powerful state.

So she was not content.

"In a few days, I'll accompany you to break off the engagement. You can only be mine, do you understand? I won't allow you to have any relationships with other men, understand?" Xu Ran said dominantly as he cupped Nalan Yanran's face in his hands.

His tone left no room for doubt.

It was as if Nalan Yanran would face severe punishment should she defy him.

"Oh. I understand." Nalan Yanran playfully stuck out her tongue. Despite Xu Ran's intimidating look, she felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart and was somewhat happy.

"Will you accompany me back to the Yunlan Sect?" Nalan Yanran couldn't help but ask.

"I still have things to do, so I won't go with you. In a few days, I'll come to the Yunlan Sect to find you, and then we'll break off the engagement. No matter who your fiancé is, he's definitely not worthy of you," Xu Ran continued.

"I understand," Nalan Yanran nodded, taking Xu Ran's words to heart. Even without Xu Ran, she intended to break the engagement with Xiao Yan.

"Then wait for me at the Yunlan Sect. I'll come for you soon. Also, don't overthink it, I'm not just playing around with you—I'll take responsibility."

Nalan Yanran didn't speak, just nodded softly.

"I'll leave first. Take this, and remember to swallow it." Xu Ran kissed Nalan Yanran on the forehead and then disappeared in a flash. The elixir he gave Nalan Yanran was infused with pure wind energy. Although Xu Ran wasn't an alchemist, wasn't an elixir just a bundle of bizarre and pure energy? The principle was the same.

The warm kiss on her face left Nalan Yanran with a peculiar feeling, and Xu Ran's departure made her suddenly feel a bit empty, as if she had lost something.

In her hand, she held a green elixir.

The item Xu Ran had given her was certainly no ordinary thing.

"That powerful figure seems to really care about Miss Nalan Yanran. A hero matched with a beauty."

"Anyway, I think if Miss Nalan Yanran were to marry that powerful man, I would have no objections. Nalan Yanran is so beautiful, how could she be with a loser like Xiao Yan?"

"Indeed, indeed. That powerful man is handsome and strong, plus he saved our lives. I see no issue."

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, their eyes full of admiration as they looked at the beautiful Nalan Yanran.

If a waste like Xiao Yan married Nalan Yanran, they would definitely be indignant.

But if a genius, whose looks and status matched Nalan Yanran, were with her, they would undoubtedly bless the union.

Although they admired Nalan Yanran, they were also well aware of the great gap between themselves and her.

Listening to these discussions, Nalan Yanran felt even more conflicted.

"What kind of man are you, really?"

"Will you truly be good to me, or is this just a game to you?"

Nalan Yanran gazed down at her full, developed chest and her slender, smooth legs, lost in thought. She now found herself looking forward to her next encounter with Xu Ran. Perhaps then, she would have her answer.
