Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Ah!"

"Why, why!"

"Why must Xiao Yan, who once had a name honored across a lifetime, endure such humiliation?"

"Why should I kneel and apologize to Xu Ran? For what reason?"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth. He wanted to shout it out, but he knew that even if he did, no one would understand him.

In the Xiao Family, he had no friends, and the only one who had been by his side, Xun Er, had also left him. Even his most revered father, now, he too had been blinded by Xu Ran.

Now, no matter what he said, nobody would believe him.

Xu Ran was powerful, and whatever he said was right.

Suddenly, he began to understand.

This was no longer Earth; strength was the only truth.

Xiao Yan looked at Xu Ran with lifeless eyes, filled with despair and hatred.

If one day he became powerful, he would make Xu Ran taste this very bitterness.

He who humiliates others will always be humiliated himself.

Previously, he had no choice, his talents had not yet recovered, so he could only be bullied by others. But in the future, it would be different. With Yao Lao's help, he would certainly become extremely powerful. No one could destroy him, absolutely no one!

"Xiao Yan, aren't you going to apologize yet?"

"You rebellious child!"

Xiao Zhan kept reminding Xiao Yan that if he just admitted his mistake, this matter could be put to rest. After all, he was the Clan Leader, and Xiao Yan was the son of the Clan Leader; they couldn't really do much to him.

But why was Xiao Yan so stubborn?

Alas!

"Father, you might as well kill me. My mind is made up."

"You will understand in time," Xiao Yan said, looking at Xiao Zhan with a hint of bitterness.

He knew that his father wouldn't believe anything he said right now. He also couldn't expose Yao Lao.

But once he had the strength to protect Yao Lao, once he had great power, everything would come to light.

"Sigh." Xiao Zhan felt somewhat helpless and continued to wield the wooden stick, striking ruthlessly.

Xiao Yan's back was covered in bloody welts, blood soaking his clothes red.

Xiao Yan didn't make a sound, enduring the pain stoically.

Gradually, Xiao Yan's consciousness began to blur, and he collapsed into unconsciousness.

"Hmph. Xiao Yan got off lightly. He dared to treat you like that, even if he were beaten to death, it would not be too much. This is all his own doing," Nalan Yanran said angrily. Although she was kind-hearted, her temper flared whenever Xu Ran was provoked.

How could her man be slighted by others?

"Young Master Xu Ran, Yan Ran, I have failed to discipline my child, and I have offended you both greatly. I hope you can forgive us," Xiao Zhan said, looking at Xu Ran and Nalan Yanran with an apologetic expression.

"This is the marriage contract between Xiao Yan and Yan Ran, from now on, it shall be annulled."

Xiao Zhan slowly took out the marriage contract.

Looking at the marriage contract, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat helpless. With the contract destroyed, the Xiao Family would be seen as a joke, and he would be shamed as well.

But whom can one blame for this?

If Xiao Yan's only problem were his lack of talent, she would've fought to compete for him with all her might. However, it's not just his strength that is the issue; Xiao Yan's character is also such a disappointment.

If Nalan Yanran really ended up with Xiao Yan, wouldn't her life be ruined?

Therefore, if Nalan Yanran came to Xiao Yan to annul the marriage, he really had no objections to raise.

The problem of character is the biggest issue.

"Uncle Xiao, this is a grudge between us and Xiao Yan. Although I despise Xiao Yan, the Xiao Family and our Nalan family will always be allies. As long as the Nalan family exists, no one can trouble the Xiao Family in the slightest," Nalan Yanran said earnestly, her manners impeccable.

If it weren't for Xiao Yan being so inadequate, and she hadn't fallen for Xu Ran, she wouldn't want the Xiao Family to be so embarrassed.

But for the sake of her own happiness, she had to do this.

If she were to marry a good-for-nothing like Xiao Yan, she would rather die!

How could such a man, who was beaten and wailed in front of a crowd, and even knelt down to Xu Ran in front of so many people, still talk about manliness?

"Well said, niece Yan Ran!"

"Even though there is no relationship between Xiao Yan and Yan Ran any longer, the relationship between the Xiao Family and the Nalan Clan will remain unaffected," several elders of the Xiao Family expressed their satisfaction with Nalan Yanran's performance.

At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh.

The younger generation of the Xiao Family and the Nalan Clan are worlds apart.

The performances of Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran are at two extremes. Xiao Yan is completely unworthy of Nalan Yanran. Although they too belong to the Xiao Family, they must say, if Nalan Yanran truly ended up with Xiao Yan, it would really be like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.

A woman as outstanding as Nalan Yanran, who is also the esteemed disciple of the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, is only worthy of someone as outstanding as Young Master Xu Ran.

Everyone could see the huge gap between Xiao Yan and Xu Ran.

"Since that's the case, I won't bother Uncle Xiao and the Xiao Family elders any longer. We'll take our leave first," Nalan Yanran said politely, not pursuing the matter aggressively now that she had the marriage document in hand.

Nalan Yanran took Xu Ran's hand as they left, passing the marriage document to him.

"Hehe, now that I've got the marriage document, I finally have nothing to do with that annoying ghost," Nalan Yanran stuck out her tongue playfully and said. All she wanted now was to be the little woman by Xu Ran's side.

"Yes. From now on, you belong to only me," Xu Ran said arrogantly as he held Nalan Yanran in his arms, inhaling the fragrance emanating from her.

"But you, you big playboy, don't belong to just me," Nalan Yanran raised her delicate fist and gently punched Xu Ran's shoulder, pouting as she spoke.

Back in the Xiao Family, she still had two love rivals!

In the future, who knows how many more there will be! Xu Ran even harbored thoughts about her master!

She had looked into Xiao Mei, who was not too shabby among the younger generation of the Xiao Family, but probably didn't pose much of a threat to her.

But Xiao Xun'er was different; rumor had it that her talent was not much different from Xiao Yan's prior abilities, and she was previously known as a famous beauty. This was her fierce competitor!

"But at least at this moment, I am only with you, right?" Xu Ran's lips curled into a slight smirk, scrutinizing the marriage document between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran with great interest.

"What's there to look at?" Nalan Yanran blinked her large eyes. Looking at the formerly Holy marriage document, she just found it somewhat irksome.

The mere mention of Xiao Yan's name on it made her uncomfortable.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Yan, not even in terms of words or on paper.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Xiao Yan is no ordinary person."

Xu Ran smiled, and a hint of flame emerged from his fingertips. Under the heat of the flame, the marriage document was instantly incinerated to nothingness.

With the destruction of the marriage document, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran no longer had any relationship. In the original story, Xiao Yan later had some dealings with Nalan Yanran that even stirred her heartstrings, but such instances would no longer exist in the future. Because Nalan Yanran's heart now wholly belonged to him.
