Chapter 329: Winning Over Cai Meier

"Spending so much money unnecessarily. This necklace is ridiculously expensive. Wouldn't it be better to invest in cultivation resources?" Cai Meier complained, her gaze fixed on the receipt from the Starlight Auction House, which clearly displayed the sum of ten million gold soul coins.

Although Cai Meier was not lacking in money, she was not one to squander it on luxury goods.

The cultivation of soul masters was notoriously costly. Even someone as powerful as Cai Meier would often encounter desirable items at auctions, most of which carried price tags in the millions or tens of millions.

Cai Meier herself would never have indulged in purchasing such an extravagant necklace.

"It's not a waste at all. It looks stunning on you."

"Hmph. At least you know how to please me. Fine, I'll reluctantly wear it for you tonight," Cai Meier retorted with a blush as she clasped the necklace around her neck.

Undoing the top button of her blouse and loosening the collar, she revealed the sparkling deep-blue gemstone necklace, which nestled snugly in the pronounced cleavage between her fair, full bosom.

An image of Cai Meier dressed in a playful JK uniform catering to his whims flashed through Qian Ran's mind.

The tournament soon concluded.

Unsurprisingly, Shrek Academy secured easy victories in the remaining matches.

Qian Ran's earlier performance had already dealt a significant blow to the Sun-Moon Team, and Ma Xiaotao's personal strength was more than enough to dominate the remaining opponents. However, Wang Yan adhered to Qian Ran's suggestion to ensure that every team member had the opportunity to participate, allowing everyone to share in the glory of the championship.

While the Shrek Academy contingent stayed at the hotel to celebrate, Qian Ran and Cai Meier quietly slipped away.

Cai Meier changed into a JK uniform with a soft, adorable aesthetic, seamlessly blending her mature charm as a stunning beauty with the youthful allure of the outfit.

Watching her change clothes, Qian Ran couldn't help but revel in the moment.

What would Yan Shaozhe know about appreciating such an extraordinary woman like Cai Meier?

As Cai Meier changed, Qian Ran flashed a wicked smile and planted a kiss on her fair neck. A tingling sensation spread like ripples across a calm lake, leaving her entire body trembling.

A woman's neck was an incredibly sensitive area, and Cai Meier was no exception.

Overwhelmed by a mix of shame and growing pleasure, Cai Meier's breathing grew heavier, and she unconsciously wrapped her arms around Qian Ran's neck.

"You'll have to take responsibility for me."

"If you go through with this, I won't ever let you go for the rest of your life."

Cai Meier gazed deeply at the young man before her, her emotions a mix of love and frustration.

Initially, she had intended to resist him, but as time went on, she found herself increasingly unable to. At some point, she had fallen deeply for this man. She couldn't pinpoint the moment, but her thoughts now revolved solely around being with Qian Ran.

Qian Ran possessed a magnetism unmatched by any man in this world.

His lips trailed over her chest, neck, and earlobes, leaving Cai Meier with no choice but to close her eyes, her breathing quickening.

"Sweet Meier, now it's my turn," Qian Ran whispered as he guided her shoulders.

Understanding his intention, Cai Meier flushed with embarrassment but slowly knelt before him.

In that moment, Qian Ran felt as though he had ascended to paradise.

Who was Cai Meier? She was the vice-dean of Shrek Academy, her power rivaling even that of Xian Liner. Though not among the absolute top tiers at Shrek, she wasn't far from it either.

Moreover, she wielded genuine authority.

How many such peerless beauties could be found across the entire Douluo Continent? Even the Duke's wife, Zhu Ying, paled in comparison.

While Zhu Ying's noble status was undeniable, this was a world where strength reigned supreme. Though Cai Meier lacked a title or noble lineage, her position as Shrek Academy's vice-dean was no less prestigious than that of a duke.

And now, this woman, who stood atop the mountain, was submitting before him.

The thrill was indescribable.

"Between me and Yan Shaozhe, who's better?" Qian Ran asked, a smug grin spreading across his face.

"You, of course!" Cai Meier replied, her mind adrift. Her thoughts blurred as her consciousness seemed to detach from her body.

It felt as though nothing else existed in the world except Qian Ran and herself. The intensity of their shared passion and love overwhelmed her senses, leaving her utterly vulnerable to Qian Ran's every whim.

Even his teasing remarks didn't faze her—she obeyed without question.

At that moment, Cai Meier's feelings were clear: she wanted more. She yearned for Qian Ran's love.

Life with Qian Ran had become a vivid, fulfilling joy. She could no longer return to the emptiness and loneliness she had once known.

The night passed without further words.

The next morning, Qian Ran presented Cai Meier with the longevity elixir she had been dreaming of.

Now that she belonged to him, Qian Ran saw no reason to keep her waiting. Even if she might not yet be fully subservient, he had absolute confidence in himself.

No woman who had shared intimacy with Qian Ran could ever escape his grasp.

Generally, Qian Ran didn't exhibit strong possessiveness. Even when he did, he rarely expressed it openly. He didn't impose excessive restrictions on those around him. But the ability to control was his prerogative, and whether or not he exercised it was entirely up to him.

If Cai Meier ever attempted to leave, he would pull her back instantly.

But he was certain she had no such intentions.

Having experienced relationships with Xian Liner, Zhou Yi, Mu Jin, and the Duke's wife, Qian Ran knew women like Cai Meier inside out. There was nothing to worry about.

"Is this really the longevity elixir?" Cai Meier's eyes gleamed with fascination as she gazed at the pill before her. For a woman, its allure was irresistible.

Qian Ran planned to give Zhu Ying one as well, though not just yet. She hadn't met his requirements.

"Sweet Meier, I treat you well, don't I? Now, it's your turn," Qian Ran said, his gaze fixed on her curvaceous figure.

Cai Meier rolled her eyes coquettishly, carefully storing the pill before indulging Qian Ran as he guided her movements. Having received the long-coveted elixir, she felt so content that she fully gave in to his demands.

Looking at the much younger student before her, Cai Meier felt a mix of shame and inadequacy. Despite her affection for Qian Ran, the moral values instilled in her since childhood told her that what she was doing was wrong. Yet she remained ensnared by the happiness she found in his company.

"Ah…"

Qian Ran exhaled heavily, adjusting his posture to better enjoy Cai Meier's devoted care.

Seeing her in the JK uniform filled him with unparalleled satisfaction. He couldn't help but fantasize about bringing Xian Liner into the mix. What a breathtaking sight it would be for the two of them to wear matching uniforms.

As soon as they returned to the academy, he would seek out Xian Liner.
