Chapter 877: Chapter 874: Wang Qiu'er_1
"Xu Ran, you're truly wonderful. I love you to death. From now on, whatever you want to do, I'll follow your lead," Zhu Zhuqing said, draping herself around Xu Ran's neck, her eyes brimming with affection.
She really did love the man in front of her to death.
Even though he was quite a flirt, he treated her really well.
"Ahem." The Goddess of Kindness, upon seeing how intimately Xu Ran was holding Zhu Zhuqing, with his palm even resting on Zhu Zhuqing's buttocks, was startled by their cozy posture and coughed discontentedly.
There were other people around!
And yet they were hugging each other so closely.
The Goddess of Kindness felt full of grievances.
During these days of traveling, Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing had been constantly cuddling and whispering sweet nothings. Now again? Were they going to do it right here? This position certainly allowed for it.
Zhu Zhuqing also realized the situation around her and quickly got off Xu Ran.
"Congratulations. With your current talent, if all goes well, you're certain to pass the Divine Examination and become the new God of Darkness," the Goddess of Kindness said sincerely.
However, she spoke with some reservations.
Because she knew that whether Zhu Zhuqing and the others could become gods was not solely dependent on their talents.
There would likely be many difficulties on their road to godhood, especially since they were with Xu Ran.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Goddess," Zhu Zhuqing promptly saluted the Goddess of Kindness.
While Xu Ran was indifferent to the identity of the Goddess of Kindness, Zhu Zhuqing didn't dare to take liberties.
In their eyes, gods were unreachable beings.
Moreover, this was a Divine King who was far more powerful than the average god.
"So it was the Dark Evil Tiger."
"That guy was usually so arrogant, regularly causing hundred-thousand-year soul beasts to fall to his claws. I didn't expect that he would ultimately be defeated by my brother-in-law," Da Ming and Er Ming said, just now realizing that the Dark Evil Tiger killed by Xu Ran was such a surprise.
The strength of the Dark Evil Tiger was much greater than theirs.
Even as hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, they didn't have the upper hand against the Dark Evil Tiger.
Only when Da Ming and Er Ming were together could they suppress the Dark Evil Tiger thoroughly.
"But no matter how tricky the Dark Evil Tiger was, it was nothing in front of my brother-in-law," they said, looking up to Xu Ran with admiration.
How wonderful it would be if they had strength like Xu Ran's?
With such power, they could roam not just the Aquipeia Forest but also anywhere on the continent with authority!
But such thoughts were just wishful on their part.
They were already doing quite well to have come this far. In the future, with Xu Ran's help, maybe they could break through to two hundred thousand or even three hundred thousand years, and having such a long lifespan was already more than enough.
"Let's go. It's time we met Di Tian and the others."
Xu Ran and his companions headed towards the Lake of Life at the heart of the Aquipeia Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing had never been to this place before, but having heard descriptions from Xiaowu, she wasn't scared. She admired the lush and towering trees around her. Ordinary Soul Masters hunted soul beasts only on the outskirts, and even the strong ventured only into the inner area. As for the core zone, they dared not set foot in it.
At this moment, many ferocious beasts were already waiting for Xu Ran at the Lake of Life.
Di Tian, Bear Lord, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, the Red King...
"We've seen the great one."
Upon Xu Ran's arrival, all the ferocious beasts immediately paid their respects to him.
Zi Ji and Bi Ji looked at Xu Ran with very excited eyes.
They were still as beautiful as before, and since falling in love with Xu Ran, they thought of nothing else every day, counting the days until he would return to the Aquipeia Forest.
"Brother Xu Ran."
A lively voice sounded from the side.
Xu Ran looked towards the direction the voice came from.
It was a woman with a tall, slender figure. She was dressed in white tight-fitting clothing with silver trimmings. A scarf wrapped her powder-blue wavy long hair. Unfurled, her hair could cover her entire back, reaching down to her hips. Undoubtedly, she was an extremely beautiful girl, especially with that rare powder-blue hair that would make any woman envious.
"Qiu'er?"
Xu Ran looked at Wang Qiu'er with surprise and joy.
This was evidently the Three-eyed Golden Lion that had managed to Transform.
So many days had passed, and it was clear she had successfully completed her Transformation.
Auspicious Beasts and other ferocious beasts were different. Other ferocious beasts needed to start from the embryo to Transform, but Auspicious Beasts did not.
"Brother Xu Ran, I've missed you so much. I knew about the several times you came to the Aquipeia Forest, and I really wanted to see you. But I was at a critical moment in my transformation, and if it were interrupted, I would have to start all over again. So I've been working hard on Transforming. I've finally completed it. Hehe, do you think I look pretty?"
"I Transformed following the guidance you gave me!"
Wang Qiu'er twirled around, her powder-blue hair flying with the wind, wafting waves of fragrance.
"Beautiful! Of course, beautiful! Even more gorgeous than I imagined," Xu Ran said earnestly, his eyes lingering on Wang Qiu'er's figure and appearance with burning desire.
In the Unparalleled Tang Sect, he felt that Wang Qiu'er was much better than Wang Donger.
Cool, gorgeous, and well-endowed.
Wasn't that much better than Wang Donger?
And Qiu'er didn't like to cry, shouldering everything on her own and being so strong that it made one's heart ache.
"Hehe, I knew you'd like it, Brother Xu Ran," Wang Qiu'er said earnestly, batting her large eyes.
"Pfft."
Zhu Zhuqing and the others couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm not a lecher," Xu Ran blushed with embarrassment.
"Oh."
"Brother Xu Ran, now that I've Transformed, can I follow you and go out to play? Now I can go out with you. You can't leave me here. It took me so much effort to Transform," Wang Qiu'er said, curious about what the human world was like on one hand and also wanting to be with Xu Ran on the other.
Having just completed her Transformation, she didn't want to be separated from Xu Ran.
"Okay. You can follow us when the time comes," Xu Ran agreed with a doting nod, readily consenting.
With such a beautiful and exquisite girl at his side, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, Wang Qiu'er was endowed with Luck Power, which could bring good fortune in mysterious ways. Xu Ran was initially a skeptic about Luck Power, but after becoming an Auspicious Beast, he was a firm believer.
Luck Power was also a force of the world's rules.
Xu Ran caught up with Di Tian about the recent situation in the Aquipeia Forest and the Soul Beast Clan. Di Tian had also been to the far northern lands these days, hoping to ally with the Soul Beasts there and establish connections for mutual development, but he was rejected by the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor of the North.
Moreover, Di Tian had a big battle with the Snow Emperor there, but in the end, they could only tie.
The Snow Emperor, of the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden Clan, with nearly seven hundred thousand years of "Cultivation Level," possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute. In the icy and snowy lands of The Far North, the Snow Emperor's power was greatly amplified, so he was no weaker than Di Tian.
"I'm aware of all this. In a while, I'll go to The Far North. You go and establish contact with the Soul Beast Clans of the ocean first; I've already nearly finished dealing with things there," Xu Ran instructed Di Tian.
