Chapter 996: Xun Er is Curious, What Exactly is Xu Ran's Identity_1

"Pfft."

Xun Er chuckled, revealing two small dimples that made her look incredibly cute.

She had never met anyone like Xu Ran before. Most people around her were serious, and few dared to be so casual in her presence. In fact, Xun Er's interest in Xiao Yan was largely because he had traveled from the modern era and carried many advanced ideas from there, which naturally set him apart from the people of the Fighting Spirit Continent.

And now, Xun Er found it just as easy to take a liking to Xu Ran.

"As long as I can have you, what method wouldn't I use?" Xu Ran said unabashedly.

"You!"

"Didn't you say last time that you would only be friends with me? You also said you would forget about me!" Xun Er put on a stern face as she looked at Xu Ran. But deep down, she couldn't help feeling a bit of happiness.

If Xu Ran had truly forgotten her, wouldn't it mean that her charm was too low?

"Can't I change my mind now?"

Xu Ran gently embraced Xun Er, feeling her delicate and boneless waist.

"Let me go!"

Her face flushed as she struggled.

She had lost count of how many times Xu Ran had taken advantage of her.

Xu Ran was very strong, and she never anticipated his moves. By the time she reacted, she was already in his arms.

"No!"

Xu Ran said, tightening his grip on Xun Er, pressing her slender body closer to his own.

The delicate and boneless waist had mesmerized him.

"You jerk! If you don't let go of me, I'll bite you."

"Shameless, just taking advantage of people."

Xun Er said with a flushed face.

It was the first time she had been treated with such frivolity, and it was happening over and over again.

At the same time, she was a bit angry that Ling Ying had not come out to protect her!

Little did she know, Ling Ying had been thoroughly bribed by Xu Ran and had become his man. No matter what Xu Ran did, Ling Ying would not appear, even if it was that indescribable thing.

Ling Ying felt that if that kind of thing really happened, the Gu Clan would be very pleased.

Every time a Dou Saint Expert joined a force, it would cause a shock in that region.

The strength of a major force was determined by the number of Dou Saint Experts it had.

Xu Ran looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, holding onto Xun Er without letting go.

Who would refuse an advantage? That would be stupid.

How to pursue a girl without taking advantage?

One should take advantage when it's due. If not, how can you leave a deep impression in their hearts?

Xun Er saw that Xu Ran still wouldn't let go, so she really bit down hard on his neck.

"Hiss!"

With Xun Er's bite force, Xu Ran naturally felt nothing, it was like being tickled. However, he still pretended to be in pain.

"Hmph. That'll teach you to bully me?"

The kind-hearted Xun Er let go of her mouth and looked at the row of teeth marks on Xu Ran's neck.

Her face turned an odd color; it was her first time being so intimate with a boy, and as she bit Xu Ran, her teeth sank deep into his skin, her lips and tongue faintly touching his flesh.

The thought of that sensation made her blush with shame.

Even though it wasn't intentional, she still felt a bit embarrassed.

"It's okay, if I can always tease you, I'll let you bite me forever," Xu Ran joked. After all, Xun Er biting him was like a massage, and her teeth even felt pleasantly warm against his skin.

"You! I wouldn't do that!" Xun Er said with a flushed face, quickly denying it.

"You better let me go, or I'll really get angry," Xun Er said, her face swelling red.

She truly couldn't do anything about Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was stronger than her and shameless to boot, so no matter what, she was the one at a disadvantage.

Thinking this way, she felt somewhat annoyed.

In the past, she had never encountered such situations; no matter where she was, she was always the best, and it was impossible for anyone to be more formidable than her.

As for Xiao Mei, even though her "Cultivation Level" was higher than hers, in fact, Xun Er had been suppressing her "Cultivation Level" all these years.

If she wanted to rapidly increase her strength, perhaps she could improve to be above Douhuang in just a year or two.

If she hadn't come to the Xiao Family and had stayed within the Gu Clan, her "Cultivation Level" would have at least been that of a High-rank Dou Huang by now.

But, what about Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level"?

Ling Ying said that Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" was even stronger than his; didn't that make him a Douzong?

So, even if she had cultivated properly within the Gu Clan, she probably wouldn't be as advanced as Xu Ran now!

Xu Ran's talent was even more powerful than hers, she had never met someone like that before. And to encounter such a person in a place like the Jia Ma Empire was really surprising; if it had been in Zhongzhou, she might not have been so amazed. But encountering such a genius here made her feel a sense of kinship and curiosity towards Xu Ran.

She felt that, in the future, as long as nothing unexpected happened, Xu Ran would definitely become one of the most powerful people on the Fighting Spirit Continent.

For such a personage, she couldn't possibly have no interest at all.

Every cultivator would admire the strong, and she was no exception.

"Alright then. I'll let you go, but you aren't allowed to cry, okay?" Xu Ran pinched Xun Er's baby fat on her cheeks and smiled.

"Okay."

Xun Er felt a warmth in her heart; she could see the deep concern in Xu Ran's eyes.

But...

When she thought of Xiao Yan, her mood plummented again.

"You and Xiao Yan are doomed to be impossible together. You know Xiao Yan's talent; even if his talent recovers, so what? Unless Xiao Yan becomes a Dou Sheng, your family will never allow you two to be together," Xu Ran teased.

"Moreover, you have seen that what he values more is your identity. He was good to you before because you were the top genius of Wu Tan City. And now he has Heaven's Proud Daughters of the Yunlan Sect by his side. But if he knew your true identity, maybe it would be a bit different," Xu Ran said with a mischievous tone.

"Wouldn't it be nice to be my woman? Why bother staying with Xiao Yan?"

Xu Ran lifted Xun Er's snow-white chin, carefully examining her exquisitely beautiful face.

"Don't treat me so frivolously," Xun Er said, stepping back and glaring at Xu Ran fiercely.

Who confesses to a girl like that? Saying right off the bat that they should become his woman? That's just too domineering.

"Hmph. How did you find out about my identity?" Xun Er took a deep breath.

As a member of the Gu Clan, she had hidden herself within the Xiao Family, even suppressing her own "Cultivation Level." Why had Xu Ran discovered it?

What exactly was Xu Ran's identity?

At that moment, Xu Ran seemed to her like a dense fog, arousing more and more curiosity in Xun Er.

"The Gu Clan is nothing special. In my eyes, the Gu Clan is no different from any other family," Xu Ran said with a shrug.

"Then who are you? Which power do you belong to?" Xun Er continued to ask. She was curious about the power that had cultivated a person like Xu Ran.

"I'm unaffiliated. Why? You want to recruit me into the Gu Clan? That's possible, but only if you become my woman," Xu Ran said with a smile.
