"Big pervert, stop staring, they're long gone."
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, standing on either side of Qian Ran, pinched his waist in annoyance.
Among the freshmen, Zhu Lu's figure was already stunning. Although she couldn't quite match Zhu Zhuqing's 36D, which would later reach G-cup proportions in the original Douluo Dalu, Zhu Lu's physique was still exceptionally developed for her age.
Considering they were all freshmen, even Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were above average in terms of development.
Zhu Lu's figure was impressive even by the standards of older students. With a bit more care, reaching 36D would only be a matter of time.
Wu Feng and Ning Tian were both envious of Zhu Lu's figure.
"Let's head to the classroom." Qian Ran waved his hand.
Before the freshman assessment, only Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were the attractive girls in their class.
But after the class reassignment, the number of beautiful girls in their class increased significantly.
Apart from Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, Ning Tian, Zhu Lu, and Wu Feng, the other girls in the class were also quite remarkable.
Qian Ran sat in the middle, with Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao on either side of him. Ning Tian and Wu Feng sat behind him, while Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin were at the very front. Zhu Lu was an Agility-type Soul Master and shouldn't have been in Class One, but she was assigned there because her Martial Soul fusion skill with Dai Huabin required them to be together.
"Hey, you'd better keep your distance from Ning Tian." Wu Feng took advantage of Ning Tian going to the restroom and poked Qian Ran, speaking quietly.
"Hmm?"
Qian Ran tilted his head to look at Wu Feng. Wu Feng had fiery red short hair, and her eyes were a rare red, which might seem intimidating at first glance. But on closer inspection, her features were delicate, and her skin was fair as jade, although her gaze at Qian Ran was cold.
Wu Feng was known to have a crush on Ning Tian.
It was unclear if Wu Feng was the dominant or submissive one in her affection for Ning Tian. In the original storyline, Ning Tian later transformed into a man and found happiness with Wu Feng. This meant Wu Feng wasn't strictly into girls, just particularly fond of Ning Tian.
Tsk, tsk…
Had Wu Feng already fallen for Ning Tian?
No wonder…
Unlike other girls who were friendly toward Qian Ran, Wu Feng always had a certain hostility.
"Ning Tian isn't suitable for you," Wu Feng murmured.
She hoped Qian Ran would outright reject Ning Tian so she would give up on him. If Ning Tian lost interest, then perhaps…
"You're not me. How do you know Ning Tian isn't suitable for me? I think she's quite a good match." Qian Ran smiled. Ning Tian's abilities were impressive. She was already a Rank 31 Soul Elder, making her one of the top freshmen.
Given the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's potential, if the freshman assessment hadn't been conducted in groups of three, Ning Tian might have been the one standing on the championship stage.
To be honest, Qian Ran could never fully understand the power levels in Douluo Dalu II. Talents like Ning Tian and Dai Huabin reached Soul Elder status at such a young age, yet by the time they competed in the Continental Soul Master Tournament, they were only at the Soul King level, which felt unrealistic.
"I was wrong. You're the one not suitable for Ning Tian." Wu Feng huffed. If she were certain she could defeat Qian Ran, she would have challenged him by now.
"Oh?"
"I'll be honest. I came to Shrek Academy to protect Ning Tian. She's a core disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and could never be with a playboy like you."
Wu Feng knew Qian Ran was a notorious flirt.
She had done her research: Qian Ran already had several attractive girls around him, including two well-known senior sisters from the outer court. If Ning Tian ended up with Qian Ran, she would inevitably be hurt by him.
Since she was assigned to protect Ning Tian, she had to ensure her well-being. Not only her physical safety but also her emotional well-being.
If Ning Tian were to get deceived by Qian Ran at a young age, it would break her heart.
"Oh, but what does that have to do with me?" Qian Ran shrugged. High-ranking young ladies, saintesses of major sects, and heirs of powerful clans appealed greatly to him. The sense of conquering such beautiful girls brought true satisfaction.
With pretty girls practically falling into his lap, why would he push them away?
And without the predetermined storyline, there was no guarantee Wu Feng would end up with Ning Tian anyway. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan still needed heirs. Two girls couldn't have children, and without Wang Dong'er's influence, Ning Tian hadn't suffered the heartbreak that would lead her to become male in the Boundless Love Valley. If he didn't pursue her, some other guy would, and that would be a huge loss.
The thought of letting someone else have the beautiful girl he wanted made him shiver.
In his past life, he was limited to marrying only one person, so there was no choice.
But in this world, he could marry a hundred, and no one would stop him. Not pursuing all his options would be incredibly frustrating.
"You! Of course, it matters. Ning Tian likes you, and if you don't keep your distance from her, she…" Wu Feng grumbled, frustrated. There was nothing she could do against Qian Ran, and with Ning Tian's current feelings, if she knew Wu Feng was trying to drive them apart, she might even resent her.
"What you're saying doesn't benefit me at all. Ning Tian's so pretty; having her as my girlfriend wouldn't be a loss. In fact, you can never have too many beautiful girls."
"Of course, if you can offer me something in return, I might consider it."
Qian Ran's gaze traveled up and down Wu Feng. She was stunning, with short, fiery red hair that made her look spirited. As for her figure, it wasn't obvious under her uniform, but he estimated it was a B cup, maybe a bit less than C.
In his impression, Dragon Martial Soul Masters typically weren't flat-chested.
"What are you implying?" Wu Feng's skin prickled under Qian Ran's scrutiny, and her expression became unnatural.
"If you want me to stay away from Ning Tian, I lose one, so you'd have to give me another." Qian Ran grinned wickedly. He would never do a losing deal; such a sharp person would never let Wu Feng's words dissuade him from Ning Tian.
Moreover, Ning Tian had a crush on him, so he didn't even have to pursue her. This meant he'd have the upper hand in their relationship, much like an idol dating a fan. It would be easy to set the terms. How could he pass up such an opportunity?
First, he'd play along with Wu Feng, and in the end, he'd have both of them.
Heh heh…
