Chapter 72: Reuniting with Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan

After Yan Shaozhe took Xu Sanshi away, Qian Renxue left directly for the Xuanming Sect.

With her strength greatly enhanced, Qian Renxue could now stay away from the Angelic Sacred Sword for long periods without issue.

Qian Ran hoped that Qian Renxue would regain her power quickly. If she could return to the level of an Ultimate Douluo, she'd be unstoppable on the Douluo Continent. As for becoming a god again, that would require seeking help from the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

Though the Xuanming Sect was powerful, it was no match for Qian Renxue.

Even a single Titled Douluo-level Dark Soul Master would pose a massive challenge for them, let alone Qian Renxue, who had absorbed Electrolux's godhood.

With her cultivation restored to the Titled Douluo level, she was no ordinary Titled Douluo. Her spirit rings, all at the hundred-thousand-year level, left her with very few equals.

In the days that followed, Qian Ran focused on his training.

He decided not to participate in the freshman assessment.

Qian Ran's strength was simply too overwhelming, and if he were to join, he would crush the competition. Even the top talents among the freshmen couldn't stand a chance against him without him even activating his martial spirit. So there was no need for an assessment—he could go directly to the inner court.

This would make Qian Ran the youngest inner court disciple in Shrek Academy's history.

What puzzled him was that Ma Xiaotao hadn't sought him out.

He was curious about her appearance, but since she hadn't approached him, he wasn't going to make the first move.

In relationships, it's best to keep the upper hand.

That said, his love life had been quite fulfilling recently.

Qian Ran shared the news about his relationships with Wang Dong'er, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan with Xiao Xiao.

Although Xiao Xiao was upset, she eventually accepted it.

This had been the happiest development for Qian Ran lately.

After all, he didn't want to lose any of his four beauties: Xiao Xiao, Dong'er, Nannan, and Tang Ya.

"I need to buy a house. Staying in hotels all the time doesn't look good," Qian Ran mused. He frequented hotels with Tang Ya, while Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were still young, and he hadn't made any moves with them. As for Jiang Nannan, he felt it was best to let the relationship develop a bit more, especially since her mother had yet to be rescued. Jiang Nannan had been in low spirits lately.

But he definitely needed his own place near Shrek Academy.

Hotels weren't secure enough.

With the number of women around him growing, he'd need a home to accommodate Tang Ya, his future encounters with his senior sister, Ma Xiaotao, and possibly even someone like Xian Lin'er. Bringing them all to hotels would only fuel endless gossip.

Besides, every time he and Tang Ya left the hotel, they had to carefully check the room to ensure she hadn't left anything behind—no need to leave a souvenir for someone else.

"Luckily, I have a million Gold Soul Coins. Even with Shrek Academy's high real estate prices, it should be enough. A large villa would be ideal." This was something he'd probably ask his teacher, Xian Lin'er, to help with.

With Shrek Academy's connections, buying a property in Shrek City should be a breeze.

"I'd better go visit Zhang Lexuan."

"Heh, I do miss Senior Sister a bit."

With that thought, Qian Ran headed towards the inner court.

He knew where Zhang Lexuan lived.

"What are you doing here?" On the way, Qian Ran bumped into Zhang Lexuan.

She wore a white dress, exuding a cool and ethereal aura, like a fairy. Qian Ran remembered her aura when she released her martial spirit—a serene, moonlit radiance. Zhang Lexuan's spirit was the Moon, and her future title was Moon Douluo.

Since her last meeting with Qian Ran, Zhang Lexuan had occasionally found herself thinking of him.

Seeing him heading toward her residence, she rolled her eyes at him.

She knew he was up to no good.

"I just missed you, Senior Sister. Can't I come by for a visit?" Qian Ran smiled. He couldn't understand why Beibei had let go of such a beauty as Zhang Lexuan.

Beibei still pined for Tang Ya, refusing to give up.

Hopeless romantics like him only became more fixated the more they were rejected.

But that was fine—he'd just keep stealing Beibei's attention away. By the time Beibei realized what was happening, he'd have already lost out. Neither Tang Ya nor Zhang Lexuan would be his.

Zhang Lexuan chuckled in exasperation.

Did he think he could just walk into a girl's room anytime he pleased?

Moreover, she had only met him that one evening, so they weren't exactly close.

"What do you want? I won't let you in otherwise." Zhang Lexuan resisted the urge to kick him.

"I do need a favor, and it's time to settle our previous arrangement," Qian Ran replied, turning serious. He was already planning how to handle her next.

Too bold, and she might run away, which would spoil his fun.

"Hmph. Follow me." Zhang Lexuan blushed slightly. She had never invited a man into her home before. Not even Beibei had been here.

And she was sure this guy had ulterior motives.

Yet she agreed anyway.

"Senior Sister's room smells lovely." Entering Zhang Lexuan's home, Qian Ran couldn't help but comment. Girls' rooms always had that sweet fragrance, just like Wang Dong'er's bed. He'd been sleeping there lately, enjoying the scent.

Zhang Lexuan's cheeks flushed.

This guy—why did he enjoy teasing girls so much?

Still, she kept her home meticulously tidy.

"Alright, what do you want?" Zhang Lexuan asked, kicking off her shoes and reclining on the couch, her long, graceful legs stretched out.

"I just wanted to update you on Beibei's recent behavior."

"Beibei has been harassing my Yaya nonstop. What are we supposed to do about it? And recently, he charged at me and my girlfriend while we were on a date…" Qian Ran exaggerated all of Beibei's recent antics, blowing them out of proportion.

"He's still hung up on Tang Ya?"

Disappointment flickered in Zhang Lexuan's eyes.

She hadn't realized Beibei's feelings for Tang Ya were so deep. Even though Tang Ya was now very close to Qian Ran, Beibei still dreamed of being with her and even interfered in their dates.

She had hoped Beibei would change his mind after seeing Tang Ya with Qian Ran, but clearly, she had been mistaken.

"So, what do you want to do?" Zhang Lexuan sighed, gazing at Qian Ran with a hint of embarrassment.

From his expression, she could tell he was scheming something.

So, would she go along with it when the time came?
