Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Brother-in-law, you're here?"

Sounds of the ground trembling came as two huge soul beasts ran over.

It was the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython.

Sensing the activity here, they hurried over.

The Aquipeia Forest was extremely united now, and they would protect it with all their might if a powerful soul beast was hunted.

However, upon seeing Xu Ran, they instantly became excited.

Because of their relationship with Xu Ran, their status in the Aquipeia Forest had risen much higher than before. Although they were both hundred-thousand-year ferocious beasts, their status in the Aquipeia Forest wasn't high because of Xiao Wu's Transformation and her mother not being well-received.

It was Xu Ran who changed this situation.

Now they also lived and cultivated at the Lake of Life. Cultivating with Di Tian, something that many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Aquipeia Forest longed for.

With so many opportunities, they would surely break through to more than two hundred thousand years in the future.

Their lives had changed so much because of Xu Ran, so they were naturally extremely grateful to him.

Moreover, Xu Ran was their brother-in-law, so they naturally showed him a bit more respect.

"Not bad, your strength has progressed."

Xu Ran glanced at them and nodded lightly.

"Brother-in-law, we've been working hard on our cultivation these days, not wanting to let you down," Er Ming said honestly as he rubbed his head. Hearing Xu Ran's words of encouragement, he felt an immense strength filling his body.

He knew that his brother-in-law was much more powerful than Di Tian.

As for how much more powerful, that was beyond his ability to estimate.

"Xiao Wu didn't come?"

Da Ming and Er Ming looked around but didn't see Xiao Wu, and felt a bit disappointed.

"I'll bring her next time to meet you."

"Oh."

"This sister-in-law is so beautiful. She's even prettier than Xiao Wu," at that moment, Da Ming and Er Ming finally noticed the Goddess of Kindness beside Xu Ran, captivated by her aura.

Despite differences in aesthetic appreciation between humans and beasts.

But when it comes to aura, the noble, mysterious, and flawlessly pure air that the Goddess of Kindness carries is something all creatures pursue.

"Ah?"

The Goddess of Kindness blushed at the Titan Ape's words.

Since the other party wasn't some evil scoundrel but merely made an innocent mistake, she couldn't well reprimand him, so she could only stand there awkwardly, shooting Xu Ran a glare.

"She's not your sister-in-law yet," Xu Ran said with a bit of amusement, but still quickly explained.

The Goddess of Kindness seemed quite kind to others.

But she seemed to be quite violent toward him.

He definitely didn't want the Goddess of Kindness to accumulate a lot of resentment and then beat him up badly. Mainly because if the Goddess of Kindness hit him, he couldn't retaliate. After all, he wasn't of the evil and destructive sort.

"What do you mean she's not yet?" The Goddess of Kindness's pretty face turned even redder, and she found a place on Xu Ran's body with more flesh to pinch mercilessly.

She had learned this from being around Rongrong and the others, it seemed.

Women always have a great knack for learning these things.

"Right now she's indeed not," Xu Ran pretended to be puzzled. "Could it be that she is now?"

"Of course not!"

"Bastard! There you go, Xu Ran, pretending to be clueless again. You know that's not what I meant!" the Goddess of Kindness quickly denied. She had absolutely nothing to do with Xu Ran, and she did not want to be misunderstood by others.

"Then what do you mean?" Xu Ran continued to look at the Goddess of Kindness innocently.

"Xu Ran, you! We'll never be lovers," the Goddess of Kindness said with puffed cheeks. How could Xu Ran's words so easily lead to wild thoughts? Even though they weren't anything now, couldn't he finish his sentences properly? He made it sound as if they would be in the future.

"Oh. So that's what you meant. I think you're overthinking it. I don't have any thoughts about you," Xu Ran said seriously.

"Hmph. You better not."

The Goddess of Kindness snorted lightly and then looked at Xu Ran with suspicion.

Could it really be that she was overthinking?

But as soon as she recalled Xu Ran's previous behavior, she dismissed the idea immediately.

This bastard Xu Ran definitely lusted after her body.

Pah! Scoundrel from the lower realms! A shameless lecher!

She, the Goddess of Kindness, was no naive and sweet fool; she wouldn't be easily deceived by Xu Ran!

Da Ming and Er Ming watched Xu Ran and the Goddess of Kindness flirtatiously bicker beside them. Their behavior was exactly that of a couple. Who would believe there was nothing between them?

Although they were inexperienced in matters of love, they were not fools.

They were already touching and pinching each other, yet they claimed there was nothing going on?

Lies!

However, they dared not comment on Xu Ran's affairs.

In the time that Xu Ran and the Goddess of Kindness were playfully arguing, Zhu Zhuqing had successfully absorbed the Soul Rings and soul bone of the Dark Evil Tiger.

Because the Dark Evil Tiger willingly let Zhu Zhuqing absorb its power, the absorption was not taxing for her and went smoothly.

Zhu Zhuqing's "Cultivation Level" soared straight to the sixty-eighth Soul Emperor level.

She also obtained a powerful Soul Ring and soul bone.

With this kind of strength, she could be considered a powerhouse in the Zhu Clan.

Among the higher-ups of the Zhu Clan, there were quite a few at the Soul Emperor level, and Zhu Zhuqing's actual combat power, after absorbing the Dark Evil Tiger, would probably reach the Soul Sage level.

"Xu Ran, I've had another breakthrough. And my Martial Soul has evolved too," Zhu Zhuqing excitedly got up, pounced onto Xu Ran, and clung to him like an octopus.

"Congratulations. Your Martial Soul..." Xu Ran cupped Zhu Zhuqing's perky behind, and seeing the beauty in his arms so happy, his heart couldn't help but lighten up as well.

"It seems like my Martial Soul has evolved. It retained the characteristics of the Hell Spiritual Cat, but it also integrated many abilities of the Dark Evil Tiger. I don't even know what it is now," Zhu Zhuqing said, sticking out her little tongue.

"Let's call it the Dark Spirit God Cat," Xu Ran suggested after a glance.

"Also, I received a powerful attached soul bone," Zhu Zhuqing said, spreading a pair of black wings from her back. These were actually the wings of the Dark Evil Tiger.

Attached soul bones of the wing type are extremely rare, and their practicality is among the best in attached soul bones.

"I also got that soul skill that the Dark Evil Tiger used before," Zhu Zhuqing said, bubbling with excitement.

Having received so many benefits, she couldn't wait to share her joy with her beloved.

"That's wonderful. You truly are my gem."

Xu Ran was also very satisfied. In fact, the result was much better than he had expected. The formidable powers of the Dark Evil Tiger had all been inherited by Zhu Zhuqing.

"This Soul Bead contains the attribute energy cultivated by the Dark Evil Tiger, take it and your 'Cultivation Level' will progress at an astonishing pace," Xu Ran handed a black bead to Zhu Zhuqing.

In the original story, even Tang San didn't get this bead.

The Dark Evil Tiger didn't play any tricks on Xu Ran, and left the Soul Bead behind.
