Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Tang San, what's wrong? Flushed with anger again? Are you thinking of using hidden weapons against me and Xiaowu?" Seeing Tang San nearly breaking free from Xiaowu's grasp, Xu Ran firmly stomped on Tang San's neck.

The neck is one of the most fragile parts of the human body, where many vital organs, such as the trachea, are located. Feeling pressure on this spot, Tang San didn't dare to make any further moves.

Only his eyes were icy cold, filled with a scarlet murderous intent.

"Tang San, don't think that we won't lay a hand on you just because we're concerned about the person backing you. If you dare to use your hidden weapons against me and Xu Ran again, I will certainly kill you," Xiaowu said coldly. She could feel the intense murderous intent Tang San harbored towards Xu Ran. For the moment, she also dared not kill Tang San; if he died, Hao Tian Douluo would be infuriated. Even if they couldn't find them, they would spread the information throughout the human world that they were hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in human form. That could potentially attract the covetous eyes of the Martial Soul Hall and put them in danger.

If Tang San were alive, Hao Tian Douluo, if he wanted to obtain their soul rings and soul bones for Tang San, wouldn't spread the news of their whereabouts.

"Alright, Xiaowu. It can all end now. It's not worth wasting time on someone like Tang San."

"The wounds on my body are almost healed, let's leave now. Notting City is just too dangerous," Xu Ran said, pulling Xiaowu into his embrace, flaunting their affection in front of Tang San.

Xiaowu was startled by Xu Ran's sudden action, her face slightly blushing. But considering that Xu Ran had just stepped forward to protect her, using his body to block the hidden weapons, her eyes immediately filled with tenderness.

Her mother once said that when you meet a boy who would risk his life for you, you must treasure him well. Now she had found such a person, and he was even an Emperor's Auspicious Beast. Her mother would have been comforted to see this scene, if she could have watched from beyond.

Her meeting with the Auspicious Beast in the human world must have been predestined by the heavens.

Xu Ran might be the person destined for her. Otherwise, how could they have met in this vast human world?

"Pfft..." Under Xiaowu and Xu Ran's feet, Tang San watched them embrace and gaze affectionately at each other, unable to hold back a mouthful of blood that sprayed out. However, as Xiaowu was forcefully stepping on his lips, the blood could only trickle out through the corners of his mouth.

As Tang San watched this scene, his already wounded heart began to turn cold and ruthless, his face pale as he looked up at the sky.

His heart was filled with such hatred.

Having been with Xiaowu for so long, it was obvious to him that she was starting to have feelings for Xu Ran. Although they were not strong yet, what would stop Xu Ran from completely manipulating her with his tactics in the future? Xu Ran was despicable and shameless, and his sweet nothings were enough to keep Xiaowu entirely enraptured.

What would Xu Ran do to Xiaowu then? Xu Ran was a shameless lecher, which was evident from the way he looked at Xiaowu. Given the extent of Xu Ran's lechery, he might even keep Xiaowu with him day and night, and at that time, Xiaowu could even be carrying Xu Ran's child.

And all of this should have belonged to him.

Xiaowu was so breath-takingly beautiful. Although he normally didn't say much, he was a normal man after all. Watching such beauty like Xiaowu around him all day, how could he have not had any thoughts? There was a time when he even fantasized that once Xiaowu grew up, she could be with him.

He grew up with Xiaowu, and proximity begets closeness. Furthermore, Xiaowu called him "brother", yet they were not related by blood. If that were the case, their relationship could have developed very quickly.

But all of this was like flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the water, untouchable and shattering at the slightest contact. The beautiful Xiaowu would never have anything to do with him any longer; she would become Xu Ran's woman.

"System, can I just kill Tang San outright now?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask the System. He enjoyed showing off in front of Tang San, but he always felt that killing Tang San directly would be safer. After all, Tang San had strong talents and capabilities, as well as hidden weapons and Tang Sect's secret skills. It would be difficult if he grew stronger in the future.

Although he wasn't afraid that Tang San would pose any threat to him, he couldn't guarantee that Tang San wouldn't harm the people around him in desperation. Even a cornered dog will bite. And Tang San even more so, right?

"You can't, oh. Tang San is involved in many of the Host's subsequent missions. It is recommended that the Host complete these missions before killing Tang San. If Tang San, the great villain, dies, the Host will encounter many difficult missions to earn Skill Points," the System warned, dissuading Xu Ran from the idea of dealing with Tang San directly.

"Then forget it," Xu Ran shook his head. If Tang San could continue providing him with Skill Points, why not enjoy it? Moreover, if he and Xiaowu could show their affection in the future, having Tang San watch would make it even more satisfying.

"Let's go, Xiaowu," Xu Ran said, and with a strong kick on Tang San's neck, he knocked Tang San out cold. Now that Xiaowu had fallen out with Tang San, it was time to slip away before Tang Hao could catch her.

He had intended to meet with Yu Xiaogang, but thinking it over, there was plenty of time for that. Tang San had suffered such grievances, and Xiaowu had run away with him, so staying in Notting City any longer was akin to waiting for death. He might not fear Tang Hao with the Ten Thousand Years Qilin Experience Card, but Xiaowu could not handle him.

"Where are we going?" Xiaowu couldn't help but look towards Xu Ran. Since she saw Tang San's true colors, she felt an indescribable fear. If even Tang San, who had always been by her side, had ulterior motives, she didn't know who else in the human world she could trust. Perhaps in the entire human world, she only dared to trust Xu Ran now.

Xu Ran was an Auspicious Beast, he would definitely not deceive her, let alone harm her.

Even if one day Xu Ran did deceive her, it would all be for her own good.

"To a place that's more suitable for us. You are almost ready to graduate from Nuoding Academy, it's just the right time to go to an advanced Soul Master academy," Xu Ran spoke. Naturally, he planned to take Xiaowu to Shrek Academy. Besides Shrek Academy, Xu Ran couldn't find any other advanced Soul Master academy where Xiaowu could hide.

Regions of the renowned academies such as Clear Sky, Blazing Fire, and five others, including the Sky Dou Imperial Academy, were too bustling. Xu Ran also couldn't guarantee that powerful individuals wouldn't be around.

After much thought, only Shrek Academy seemed a bit better. Shrek Academy was located in a village on the outskirts of Soto City. Most importantly, Shrek Academy didn't have miscellaneous students, while other advanced Soul Master academies were diverse. It was just like how Dugu Yan from the Sky Dou Imperial Academy was the granddaughter of the Titled Douluo Dugu Bo. What if those powerful individuals came to visit their grandchildren and discovered Xiaowu? That would be bad for her.
