Xue Di instinctively inhaled deeply, taking in Qian Ran's warm, reassuring masculine scent. Her mind went blank as she lost herself in this unfamiliar feeling.
For someone as pure and untouched as Xue Di, such intimacy was a completely new experience. Her cheeks flushed with heat, a stark contrast to her usual icy demeanor.
Despite her peerless combat prowess, at this moment, she felt as if her body was beyond her control. Qian Ran's presence seemed to possess an irresistible pull, making her subconsciously lean closer to him.
"Mm…" Xue Di could feel her heightened sensitivity, her blood surging faster, and her heartbeat echoing in her ears—a sensation she had never noticed before.
Holding onto Qian Ran, her slender figure pressed closer against him. She even nuzzled into him like a playful kitten seeking affection.
Her knowledge of intimacy between men and women was far more limited than even the Ice Emperor's. Xue Di only knew that being near Qian Ran made her feel inexplicably comfortable.
"Xue'er, such unrestrained behavior isn't exactly ladylike, you know," Qian Ran teased with a chuckle.
Compared to others, Xue Di was like an uncut gem—a masterpiece waiting to be shaped. Qian Ran relished the opportunity to sculpt her into a work of art that fully satisfied his desires.
He tightened his grip around her slender waist, pulling her soft, alluring figure entirely into his embrace. Xue Di's misty eyes stared up at him as her body instinctively shifted, her hips subtly moving.
Sensing her reaction, Qian Ran's free hand grew bolder, sliding down to her shapely curves, where he began to knead gently.
"Qian Ran, I feel… strange," Xue Di murmured, letting him do as he pleased.
"There's nothing strange about it. You'll get used to it in time. Just follow your heart and your body, Xue'er," Qian Ran replied with a mischievous grin.
True to her reputation, Xue Di was extraordinary.
Her figure was every bit as perfect as Xian Lin'er's or Cai Mei'er's. There wasn't a single flaw to be found.
"Alright," Xue Di replied softly, her voice dreamy and her gaze hazy.
Her sensitivity surpassed that of anyone else. Perhaps it was her centuries of untouched purity that made her reaction so intense when she finally experienced such closeness.
"Xue'er, why don't you call me 'husband'?" Qian Ran asked playfully, his fingers tilting her chin upward. Likely, he was the only person in the world who dared to treat her this way.
Yet, in front of Qian Ran, Xue Di showed no trace of the authority or pride of a powerful being. Even as Qian Ran teased her, she didn't mind in the slightest. At this moment, her heart and mind were filled with him.
"Husband…" she whispered shyly, her voice barely audible.
Right now, her only desire was to fulfill every one of his wishes.
"My good girl, Xue'er. Let's change into something more fitting before we go further," Qian Ran said, placing a light kiss on her forehead. He retrieved a black mini-dress from his storage soul tool.
Xue Di had always dressed conservatively, her loose-fitting attire hiding her captivating figure. Qian Ran, however, wanted to see her in something different for once.
Xue Di, clueless as to his intentions, didn't refuse. Though she didn't fully understand why he wanted her to change, she trusted him completely.
She quietly accepted the dress and began to put it on.
Qian Ran watched with admiration as she delicately slipped her bare feet into a pair of sheer black stockings. Rolling them up from her crystal-clear toes, she gently pulled the fabric over her ankles and up her shapely calves. Finally, the stockings stretched smoothly over her thighs, perfectly accentuating her long, slender legs.
No matter how many times he saw it, the sight of a beauty donning stockings always set Qian Ran's heart racing.
Whether it was Dong'er, Tang Ya, Zhou Yi, Xian Lin'er, or now Xue Di, the image was nothing short of breathtaking.
After the stockings, Xue Di slipped into the black mini-dress. The hemline was so short that any movement risked revealing the curve of her hips. It was even shorter than a standard mini-dress, bordering on scandalous.
Normally, Qian Ran wouldn't allow his women to wear something so revealing.
But when it was just the two of them, it was a different story.
He enjoyed the sight too much to resist.
The tight dress hugged Xue Di's figure perfectly, highlighting her curves in exquisite detail. Her slender legs, wrapped in those silky black stockings, complemented the white blouse she wore on top. The combination transformed her into the epitome of an alluring corporate beauty.
At that moment, Xue Di began to sense something unusual. She found the outfit somewhat strange, yet she didn't voice her concerns.
"Xue'er, you're stunning," Qian Ran said, lifting her into his arms.
This proud and elegant ice queen was now entirely his—a flawless beauty who could be savored at leisure.
With a woman as extraordinary as Xue Di in his arms, how could Qian Ran remain calm?
Even compared to Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, or the Ice Emperor, Xue Di was in a league of her own. As one of the continent's strongest beings, she was only rivaled by Di Tian himself—excluding, of course, the unparalleled Gu Yuena.
Hearing Qian Ran's praise, the faint unease in Xue Di's heart melted away, replaced by pure joy.
"So this is what love feels like? No wonder Bing Bing loves being with Qian Ran so much."
At last, she understood why the Ice Emperor felt lost whenever she couldn't see him. Being in his embrace was the most comforting feeling in the world.
She, too, wanted to stay like this forever.
"Let's start with a little appetizer…"
"I'll be taking Xue Di's first kiss now," Qian Ran said slyly.
The affection shining in Xue Di's eyes pleased him immensely. Though he adored their beauty, what Qian Ran truly sought was their hearts. Only then could he claim to have fully conquered a woman.
If it was just their bodies, it would be far too dull.
