Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"Hmph!"

"You're so obsessed with women, you're going to ruin yourself one day!" Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, her tone equal parts annoyed and exasperated. "I've never seen anyone so shamelessly lecherous in my life! Don't you have enough already?"

If Qian Ran had to explain, he would've summed it up with two words: nostalgic sentiment.

Having traversed into a world from a beloved novel, his desires were driven by more than just lust. He wanted to leave no regrets, to experience every character and encounter that had fascinated him in the stories of Douluo Dalu.

To Qian Ran, this wasn't merely about indulging in desire; it was about fulfilling a lifelong dream.

"I'm here to play big. Miss a single flower, and I might regret it for eternity. Why let myself live with that kind of regret?" Qian Ran chuckled.

Life as a transmigrator had only two goals: to wield the strongest cheats and embrace the most beautiful women.

"Dying under the peony, even as a ghost, I'd smile." Qian Ran grinned as he shrugged off Ma Xiaotao's complaints. "If that day comes, it'll still be worth it."

For him, avoiding happiness for fear of consequences was simply not his style.

What if the system malfunctioned one day and sent him back to his original world? Would he want to look back and regret what he hadn't done? Definitely not.

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes, not buying his justification.

"Someday, a rival faction is going to send a beautiful spy after you. Then you'll see where all this leads!"

Qian Ran smirked. "That's a hypothetical that won't come to pass."

He wasn't blind to his own desires. Women weren't just physical conquests to him. It was the allure of conquering personalities from the stories he loved, a blend of nostalgia, admiration, and thrill.

In truth, his specific preferences made him resistant to shallow manipulation. Beauty alone wasn't enough; it had to come with a connection to the world and lore he was so deeply invested in.

"Trust me, a simple femme fatale act wouldn't get far with me."

Ma Xiaotao muttered under her breath as she let him lead her by the hand down the steps.

It was only after a few moments that she realized she hadn't pulled her hand away. A strange warmth filled her chest, but her usual fire and embarrassment made her glance nervously around.

Her attire didn't help matters.

Dressed in a short, fiery-red outfit paired with white stockings, Ma Xiaotao's usual fiery demeanor gave way to a new, seductive allure.

"Alright, seriously," Ma Xiaotao began, trying to change the subject. "Do you have any real way to help me evolve into Ultimate Fire?"

The Phoenix Godfire Qian Ran had given her before helped suppress her Evil Fire temporarily, but it was far from a permanent solution.

As much as she hated it, she longed to purify her martial soul completely.

"You really want to know?" Qian Ran teased, his lips curling into a mischievous smile. "Then kiss me, and I might tell you."

Ma Xiaotao froze, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red. "You're insufferable!"

Yet, her frustration quickly softened into something else.

"Just one," she muttered, closing her eyes. Leaning forward, she gave Qian Ran a quick peck on the cheek, her lips brushing his skin so lightly that it almost didn't count.

But before she could pull away, Qian Ran's fingers gently cupped her chin.

His gaze locked onto hers, his playful smile softening as he leaned down to press his lips against hers.

Her breath caught as Qian Ran's gentle, teasing kiss stole her resolve.

Heat surged through her veins as her Evil Fire stirred, drawn out by her conflicted emotions. Her body felt as though it had caught fire, every inch tingling under Qian Ran's touch.

When they finally pulled apart, Ma Xiaotao's knees felt weak, her breath heavy.

Her blush deepened as she realized how much she had enjoyed the moment.

"Damn Evil Fire," Ma Xiaotao muttered, half-angry, half-embarrassed.

Her martial soul made any physical intimacy dangerous. It wasn't just a challenge to her control—it actively fanned the flames of her desires.

Even now, with the lingering warmth of Qian Ran's kiss, her body screamed for more.

It wasn't the first time she had felt this way. The last time Qian Ran had touched her leg during their sparring, she had nearly lost control entirely.

The worst part?

Qian Ran wasn't someone she could easily avoid. His charm was a constant temptation, his genuine care and wit slowly breaking down the walls she had spent years building.

Ma Xiaotao clenched her fists, fighting the inner turmoil that raged within her.

Her Evil Fire was both a curse and a blessing, its volatile energy giving her immense power but at the cost of her peace of mind.

Unlike other soul masters, who could enjoy the warmth of companionship, she had always kept herself isolated, fearing what might happen if she ever let her emotions take over.

But now, everything was different.

Qian Ran didn't just understand her struggles—he offered solutions. His presence soothed her like no one else's could.

"If I'm ever going to trust someone with this... it might as well be him," Ma Xiaotao thought.

Her lips curled into a shy smile as she gazed at Qian Ran's confident profile.
