Chapter 67: A Passionate Kiss with Jiang Nannan, Infuriating Xu Sanshi

Qian Ran's sudden appearance took both of them by surprise.

"Qian Ran?"

Just when she had accepted her fate, Qian Ran's arrival was like a ray of light piercing the darkness around Jiang Nannan.

That familiar face, that familiar aura—was Qian Ran here to save her?

But how did he know? How did he know she was here, and what Xu Sanshi was planning to do to her…

Jiang Nannan's mind flashed back to the words she had said earlier to provoke Xu Sanshi. She had said she liked Qian Ran…

Could it be that Qian Ran had heard those words too?

Jiang Nannan's face turned red, and she looked down in embarrassment. Those words had only been meant to disgust Xu Sanshi, to make it clear that, even if he gained her body, he'd never win her heart.

But now, with Qian Ran here, he had surely heard those embarrassing words.

Still, her heart was filled with joy and excitement at his sudden appearance.

She hadn't expected that, in this moment, it would be Qian Ran who would come to her rescue.

"I know everything. Don't worry, I'll help you. As for how, I'll explain later." Qian Ran referred to the matter of Jiang Nannan's mother, who was still under Xu Sanshi's control in the Xuanming Sect. Unless that was resolved, Xu Sanshi would continue to have leverage over Jiang Nannan.

In the original storyline, Qian Ran had never understood why Jiang Nannan despised Xu Sanshi; the reasons given were never quite convincing.

It was like Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai in Douluo Dalu, where Dai Mubai's irresponsible and reckless behavior justified Zhu Zhuqing's initial disdain for him.

But with Xu Sanshi, although he was a bit of a playboy, he had always seemed more restrained, at least on the surface. Now, Qian Ran finally understood the full picture.

"Oh."

Jiang Nannan still felt anxious, but seeing the confidence and depth in Qian Ran's gaze, she suddenly felt a sense of assurance.

Surely, Qian Ran wouldn't joke around on a matter like this, would he?

"Those things you said earlier… You didn't say them just to get under Xu Sanshi's skin, did you?" Qian Ran raised an eyebrow. He'd overheard Jiang Nannan professing her 'feelings' for him—could those words have been genuine?

"I only said it to irritate Xu Sanshi," Jiang Nannan replied, her face flushed.

She did have a fondness for Qian Ran, but not to that extent.

Xu Sanshi's actions, however, had driven her to say something she knew would anger him deeply.

If she had to choose someone she admired, it would only be Qian Ran.

He was the first exceptional guy she'd ever encountered, so impressive that beautiful girls were willing to chase after him.

"Well, I took it seriously."

Qian Ran gently lifted Jiang Nannan's delicate chin with his finger, relishing the soft, smooth feel of her skin.

"Qian Ran, don't…"

Jiang Nannan's heart raced as Qian Ran's face drew closer to hers. Was he really going to…

"Whether you meant it or not, I'm taking my interest. After all, helping you does take a lot of effort." Qian Ran leaned down, capturing her chin with his lips. Her skin was soft and delicate.

This felt even more wonderful than the sweetness of her lips.

After all, this was something he could indulge in entirely.

Jiang Nannan was stunned, her eyes wide, her heartbeat quickening.

She hadn't expected Qian Ran to kiss her. What did this mean?

But with Xu Sanshi standing right there, her desire for revenge against him surged.

She wrapped her arms around Qian Ran's neck, her legs around his waist, holding him tightly in an almost clinging manner.

Didn't Xu Sanshi want her? Well, she would make sure he never got her.

She'd rather give everything to Qian Ran than allow Xu Sanshi to have her.

Even if she couldn't fully escape Xu Sanshi in the future, she'd have no regrets. At least, the first person to taste her sweetness wouldn't be that loathsome Xu Sanshi.

That was enough.

"Damn it, are you two just ignoring me?"

Xu Sanshi's eyes filled with rage, turning gray as an aura of malevolence radiated from him.

This evil feeling was unlike what Tang Ya or Qian Ran emitted.

His reaction was entirely different.

"A Dark Soul Master? I was right," Qian Ran said, reluctantly pulling back from Jiang Nannan's lips and chin. If not for Xu Sanshi's presence, he could have easily savored this for hours.

Jiang Nannan truly was the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard.

In the future, she might even compete with Wang Dong'er, the Goddess of Light, for the title of Shrek Academy's most beautiful.

Jiang Nannan was indeed stunning.

Wang Dong'er was, after all, the daughter of the Asura God, Tang San.

Jiang Nannan, with her mortal beauty, was one in a million.

It was this unique allure that made Qian Ran appreciate everything about her.

Moreover, with her Soft Bone Rabbit martial spirit, if she ever wore a bunny-girl outfit, she would look irresistibly charming. Although he hadn't yet encountered a school senior in a similar outfit, he could only imagine that Jiang Nannan in those stockings would rival any fantasy.

Imagine her, Ma Xiaotao, and the others wearing black stockings, swaying their hips in a dance—it would be an incredible sight!

If he could have this beautiful scene all to himself, how exhilarating would that be?

"You're trying to provoke Xu Sanshi into releasing his martial spirit?"

Jiang Nannan's gaze softened as she looked at Qian Ran. Being kissed by him made her feel a sense of attachment she hadn't expected. The feeling of being consumed by Qian Ran was more wonderful than she'd imagined.

"Devouring you is also part of my goal," Qian Ran whispered in Jiang Nannan's ear. Staring at her beautiful ear, he couldn't resist the urge to bite it, though he held back.

For now, he needed to deal with Xu Sanshi, this annoying pest.

But getting intimate with Jiang Nannan in front of Xu Sanshi had a thrill of its own.

Qian Ran enjoyed turning others' 'destined' partners into his own. It brought a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Especially with a beauty like Jiang Nannan. Once he got rid of Xu Sanshi, he could take Jiang Nannan along when he next went on a date with Tang Ya. The three of them—well, they would understand.

The experience would be quite delightful.

The only thing he'd need to watch out for was his own endurance.

"Qian Ran, here you are ruining my plans again?" Xu Sanshi's voice turned hoarse, grating like a saw.

It seemed Xu Sanshi had indeed become a Dark Soul Master.

His gaze was murderous. If he released his martial spirit here, the teachers would realize he was a Dark Soul Master, and he wouldn't get the leniency Tang Ya had received.
