Chapter 1330: Gama Holy City_1

"This spatial wormhole is truly amazing," Queen Medusa, now a Dou Zong Expert, had begun to glimpse the mysteries of space power.

She could sense the exquisite and majestic space power emanating from the spatial wormhole before her.

Xu Ran alone created a spatial wormhole so effortlessly, and he had even innovated it to significantly reduce its energy consumption. If the outside world knew about this, it would definitely cause a commotion. However, only Xu Ran could create such a stable and energy-efficient spatial wormhole.

Initially, Xu Ran had thought about popularizing this kind of spatial wormhole, connecting various places across the Continent, but after careful consideration, he gave up on the idea.

Xu Ran could establish such spatial wormholes anywhere on the Continent, making it as convenient as having countless airports for cultivation, where you could travel anywhere easily. If this were an ordinary world, it would naturally be a good thing, but in a world filled with strong experts, this convenience could turn into a disaster.

Some experts could easily come to small places and quickly escape after committing evil deeds.

Maintaining spatial wormholes on the Continent, even without transporting people, would require a large number of demon cores from magical beasts. Such high costs would instead isolate some small places from the world, preventing them from frequently contacting powerful areas like Zhongzhou, which could be a good thing for those small places.

"Brother Xu Ran is so amazing,"

said Xiao Qinglin, clapping her hands too.

She was dressed in a light green, elegant attire. Although her body was petite, she had matured a bit compared to when she first met Xu Ran. Her figure was mature beyond her appearance, with curves and contours in all the right places. Maybe it was the powerful bloodline of the Snake-People that was at play. It seemed that the girls of the Snake-People Tribe, even when not very old, already had very enchanting figures. Thankfully, the girls of the Snake-People Tribe had humanoid forms with snake-like bodies; otherwise, it would be really hard for normal people to restrain themselves. No wonder the nearby Empire Dark Forces liked to secretly catch Snake-People girls to sell. Although they had snake-like bodies, their waists, slender enough to encircle with one's hands, were truly stirring. Many people actually fancy that quite a bit, a beast fetish, naturally. A real lizard could arouse one's bestial desires, so anything else is hardly surprising.

However, Qing Lin's personality had improved greatly from before; she was no longer timid. In the Snake-People Tribe, everyone knew of Qing Lin's relationship with Xu Ran, so no one bullied her, and instead, they treated her like an honored guest. Medusa was also very good to her.

Qing Lin was as close to Xu Ran as ever, and as soon as Xu Ran arrived at the Snake-People Tribe, little Qing Lin threw herself at him.

"What are you staring at?" Xu Ran had been staring at Qing Lin's slender waist the whole time, which made Queen Medusa and the others feel a bit jealous.

"It's my own woman; it's not something I can't look at," Xu Ran said with a sheepish smile.

"Now that the work here is done, I should prepare to go back to Canaan Academy. Once I've set up the spatial wormhole over there, it will connect with this one, and then I can come through the wormhole to fetch you all."

"So soon?"

The women hadn't expected Xu Ran to leave so quickly and felt reluctant to let him go. However, knowing that Xu Ran was going to Canaan Academy to set up spatial wormholes, they suppressed the desire to be affectionate with him.

But having to share Xu Ran with even more people once he went to Canaan Academy made them feel rather distressed.

"If you don't come back to pick us up within half a month, then... well, you figure it out," said Xiao Yi Xian helplessly, feeling she hadn't had enough tender moments with Xu Ran. Time just seemed to fly by too quickly when she was with him. Usually, she would hope for time to pass quickly because it was so dull, but with Xu Ran, there never seemed to be enough time.

"No need for half a month, I'll sort everything out in less than a week."

"Once we get there, we'll have plenty of time together, and I'll spend more time with you all, I swear," Xu Ran said. He had plenty of time each day, it was just that there were too many people to attend to.

Having too many wives really left him unable to attend to them all.

Often, he felt they deserved better. If he were a girl, he definitely wouldn't choose someone like himself.

But what could he do? After all, he was only one person; he could only occasionally give them some gifts to cling to when he couldn't be with them.

Although he felt selfish and guilty looking into their hopeful eyes, if he had to choose, he would do the same thing again. He couldn't stand the thought of a girl he fancied marrying someone else.

If it were his previous life, it actually wouldn't have been a big deal, not much feeling involved. But now, with his powerful abilities, he found it frustrating to miss out due to his own stupidity—it felt like being cheated on.

"When we get to Canaan Academy, I'll find someone to help you with your cultivation. Your growth will be astonishingly fast," said Xu Ran, his eyes lighting up as he spoke. Meng Yiran was the Serpent God in the Divine Realm and could help those with snake bloodlines to rapidly grow. Dugu Yan's poison was also an excellent tonic for Xiao Yi Xian.

"Wait for me, I'm leaving first. I'll bring back gifts for you next time," Xu Ran suddenly remembered. Now that he had many wives, not being able to be with them physically meant he had to put more effort into other aspects, or else he would feel like he's evolving into a scumbag.

Indeed, upon hearing about gifts, the faces of the women brightened considerably, their expressions softening.

"Xiao Qinglin, remember to listen to your sisters," he said.

"Brother Xu Ran, I will. Qing Lin is the most obedient," Xiao Qinglin nodded reluctantly.

After giving some instructions, Xu Ran didn't stay any longer. However, instead of returning directly to Canaan Academy, he went to the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Gama Holy City.

First, to check on the casualties in the Jia Ma Empire and second, to buy some gifts for Xun Er and the others to take back.

As the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Gama Holy City was the most flourishing place in the region. The streets, following the terrifying attack on Canaan Academy a few days ago, had fewer people than during its flourishing past. Still, it was bustling with people.

Xiao Yan and his name were hot topics of discussion everywhere. Xiao Yan had almost become a public enemy of the people of the Jia Ma Empire. After all, leading a group of experts to deal with the Jia Ma Empire wasn't without reason on Xiao Yan's part.

As for Xu Ran, he was being praised to the skies. Listening to it was a bit embarrassing for him, feeling a strange sense of shame. Hearing a group of people boozing and boasting about him, being the hero in their stories, was truly bizarre. Even more horrifying was that his own scandalous history was being hotly debated by such gossipy crowds; it was just too much.
