Chapter 279: The Alluring and Sexy Sister Xiao Tao

Yu Mengdi struggled to get out of bed, feeling the soreness in her body. She glanced around and realized Qian Ran had already left. Her heart sank momentarily but quickly turned warm as her eyes fell on a note and dinner he had left on the table.

"I've left first. There's food on the table; make sure to eat after you get up. I've also left you a spatial soul tool with some cultivation resources tailored for you."

Even though he had won her heart with relative ease, Qian Ran was far from a callous man. To him, his women weren't just fleeting playthings; they were cherished companions he would never mistreat. After all, he had the means to provide for them—and the perks of his system often allowed him to spoil them even further.

For instance, the Soul Bone Gift Pack he had received from the system was divided among the women in his circle, ensuring they all received powerful upgrades. Naturally, some exceptions existed, like Xian Lin'er, who already possessed a full set of soul bones.

"Qian Ran is such a thoughtful man," Yu Mengdi murmured, carefully tucking the note away. As she ate the meal he had prepared for her, a gentle smile graced her lips.

Though everything had happened so quickly, she felt no regret. Instead, a spark of excitement ignited within her. The future was uncertain, but she was willing to embrace the unknown, even if it meant risking everything.

"Qian Ran probably used some healing ability to help me recover. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to move this easily." Yu Mengdi thought back to his assertive yet tender demeanor and felt a mix of awe and apprehension.

After finishing her meal, she turned her attention to the spatial soul tool on the table. Injecting her soul power to activate it, she was immediately awestruck.

Inside were cultivation resources of unparalleled quality and abundance—enough to sustain her progress for years.

The next time Qian Ran saw Ma Xiaotao, she was as stunning as ever.

She wore her signature red high ponytail, exuding an aura of mature confidence. Her pristine white thigh-high stockings clung snugly to her toned legs, leaving no room for imagination. Unlike her usual choice of nude-colored tights as a base layer, Ma Xiaotao opted to let her supple skin press directly against the stark whiteness of the stockings, the top hem digging lightly into the soft flesh of her thighs.

Above her striking legs, a short black pleated skirt hung flirtatiously, covering just enough to tease. The hemline seemed so precariously short that a single gust of wind could reveal everything.

Her flawless abdomen was adorned with a small, exquisite gem nestled in her navel, adding a touch of allure to her already mesmerizing appearance.

Seeing her dressed like this, Qian Ran couldn't help but swallow hard.

"You said you wanted to see this, didn't you? So, I tried it out," Ma Xiaotao said shyly, her hand brushing over the gem embedded in her belly button. "It's not permanent; I can remove it whenever I want."

"Sister Xiao Tao, you're breathtaking. I don't think I can hold back," Qian Ran said, wasting no time as he wrapped an arm around her slender waist. His fingers playfully toyed with the gemstone.

"Hmmph! And who's the other woman whose scent is on you?" Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes and pinched his waist.

She didn't even need to get too close to him to detect a subtle yet unfamiliar fragrance lingering on his body. It wasn't from anyone she knew. Clearly, someone new had joined the circle.

"You said you'd come to see me today, but instead, you went to find someone else?" Her words carried a hint of jealousy, though she didn't sound genuinely angry.

Qian Ran scratched his head awkwardly. Truthfully, if he didn't already have plans with Ma Xiaotao, he likely would've stayed with Yu Mengdi longer. Compared to the others, Yu Mengdi's eagerness to please offered a refreshing dynamic.

"Was it one of the girls from Zheng Tian Academy? Either Yu Mengdi or Yan'er?" Ma Xiaotao quickly deduced. The only women who recently caught Qian Ran's attention were those two. Both were undeniably attractive enough to blend seamlessly into his growing circle.

"Yeah, but didn't I come straight to you afterward? You'll always be one of my top priorities," Qian Ran reassured her, guiding her into her room and closing the door behind them. He pressed her against the doorframe and captured her lips in a fiery kiss.

Ma Xiaotao soon melted into his embrace, responding with equal passion. Any lingering irritation evaporated as she gave herself to the moment.

Unlike when they first met, Ma Xiaotao was no longer hesitant or awkward. She met his advances boldly, wrapping her arms around his back and molding her body to his.

Qian Ran's hands found their way to her luscious curves, kneading her hips and thighs with relish. Her voluptuous figure seemed tailor-made for his touch.

"Sister Xiao Tao, turn around and lean against the door," Qian Ran whispered, his voice heavy with desire.

"No way. What if someone hears us?" she protested softly.

The Shrek Academy team occupied the entire floor of the hotel. Even though the Star Emperor Hotel was renowned for its soundproofing, Ma Xiaotao couldn't shake her embarrassment at the thought of anyone overhearing them.

"Relax. This is the royal family's most luxurious hotel. Do you really think they'd skimp on privacy measures?"

Reassured by his words, Ma Xiaotao reluctantly complied, turning around and leaning against the door.

"Your figure is incredible, Sister Xiao Tao," Qian Ran murmured, his face buried in the crook of her neck as he inhaled her enticing scent. He pressed his chest against her back, leaving no space between them.

"Stop teasing me, you big bully," she murmured, her cheeks flushed as she braced herself for what was to come.

Later, as the two of them sat by the window overlooking the vibrant Star Luo City nightlife, Ma Xiaotao broke the comfortable silence.

"What's going on between you and Ling Luochen?"

Draped in a pink lingerie set, Ma Xiaotao absentmindedly peeled an orange, feeding Qian Ran bite-sized slices as he lay sprawled across her lap. Her tone was light, but her gaze betrayed genuine concern.

"She's been distracted lately, and I know it's because of you," Ma Xiaotao continued. "If you're not interested in her, don't lead her on. She's my friend, and I don't want to see her hurt."

"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything to her," Qian Ran replied, feigning innocence.

"She's in love with you. And meanwhile, you've been running around with girls like those from Zheng Tian Academy. How is that fair to her?" Ma Xiaotao sighed.

"Well, if you give me a little dance, I might consider telling you," Qian Ran teased, his eyes lingering on her curvaceous figure.

Her pink lingerie highlighted every enticing curve, and the thought of her swaying her hips in a playful dance was almost too much to handle.

"Not a chance. Tell me first, or you can forget it," she retorted with a roll of her eyes.

"Fine, fine," Qian Ran relented, sitting up and pulling her into his arms. "The truth is, it's because of you. With someone as amazing as you by my side, how could I possibly find time for anyone else?"

Without waiting for a response, he pushed her back onto the bed, their conversation forgotten in an instant.
