Chapter 1119: Chapter 1116: A Visit from the Mercenary Group_1
Xiao Qinglin looked at Xu Ran and Xiao Yi Xian with confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.
Though she was young, she knew they were likely discussing matters she should not know, so she refrained from asking in detail.
After Xiao Yi Xian led Qing Lin away, Feilin and Xue Mei had also finished freshening up.
"Lord," the two women said respectfully as they stood in front of Xu Ran. Now that they were his maidservants, they naturally strived to fulfill their duties. However, until now, Xu Ran had not imparted the art of Alchemy to them.
Even if he were to teach them something in the future, he would not do so without reservation.
After all, not everyone was like Xiao Yi Xian.
"Have you arrived? You look beautiful," Xu Ran said as he embraced both women, indulging in the alluring scent emanating from them that made his blood surge with the voluptuousness of their delicate bodies.
Xue Mei and Feilin blushed and lowered their heads.
However, by deciding to follow Xu Ran, they understood their fate.
They did not reject Xu Ran's intimacy at all; they only feared being cast aside by him.
"What a pleasure," Xu Ran sighed.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Xu Ran finally stopped.
Feilin and Xue Mei were already exhausted.
"This is what you deserve. Now go to sleep," Xu Ran said as he gently touched their foreheads, and a multitude of Spiritual Light flooded into their minds. A surge of Alchemy inheritance, sufficient to help them become Sixth-Grade Alchemists, filled their consciousness.
They were as astonished as Xiao Yi Xian had been.
Now they finally understood why Xiao Yi Xian could possess such terrifying Alchemy skills at such a young age.
With such an inheritance, there was no need to learn anything else; they just needed to practice making Elixirs.
This was simply...
"I thank you, Lord Xu Ran. Feilin will serve you with all her heart and will never stray in this lifetime," Feilin said.
"Lord Xu Ran, Xue Mei feels the same, and will always serve you wholeheartedly in the future," Xue Mei added.
Forgetting their weariness, Xue Mei and Feilin quickly climbed out of bed, knelt before Xu Ran, and pledged their loyalty.
To receive such a powerful Alchemy inheritance was, for them, the equivalent of soaring to the heavens.
"What I have given you is not much, at least compared to Xiao Yi Xian," Xu Ran said.
"A woman I've touched cannot have any amorous relations with another man again, so this is my compensation to you. You should understand what I mean," Xu Ran said, playfully lifting their delicate faces and finding amusement in their predicament.
Although Xue Mei and Feilin were not as beautiful as Xiao Yi Xian, they could still be considered quite attractive.
"Lord, we understand," they said quickly, unable to restrain a tinge of disappointment.
The Lord obviously treated them differently than he treated Xiao Yi Xian; perhaps they were nothing more than playthings in his eyes.
But what more could they ask for now?
Moreover, affection can be cultivated over time, and outsiders could only dream of sharing such intimacy with Lord Xu Ran.
"Hmm. You guys rest for now. I've got some matters to take care of," Xu Ran said with a slight smile.
Due to Xu Ran's massacre yesterday, Stone Desert City was now in turmoil.
Many people wanted to make trouble for Xu Ran, especially several mercenary groups from Stone Desert City.
PAmong them were people from those very mercenary groups who had died at Xu Ran's hands.
Their own kin had been killed; naturally, they could not remain indifferent.
However, fearing Xu Ran's strength and not knowing his identity, they did not dare to rush in recklessly. So, they were only able to stand guard outside the inn where Xu Ran and his companions were staying.
"Hmph, you finally decided to come out?" As Xu Ran walked out of the room, Xiao Yi Xian was talking to Qing Lin about something. Seeing Xu Ran emerge, Xiao Yi Xian wore a look of resentment, clearly holding a grudge against him.
She had made her feelings for Xu Ran so obvious yesterday, yet he did not come to find her. Instead, he was with those two women...
How could she not feel jealous?
It's in a woman's nature to be jealous.
"Cough cough. It won't happen again. I really was tied up yesterday." Xu Ran said, feeling helpless. Two delicate beauties standing by your side, listening to everything you say, doing whatever you ask. Under those circumstances, who wouldn't enjoy it?
Moreover, Xu Ran had his moments of male chauvinism. Faced with such obedient and adorable girls, he had absolutely no resistance.
Even though his relationship with Xiao Yi Xian was closer, she would definitely get furious if he asked her to do those kinds of things.
No help for it, Feilin and Xue Mei might be a notch below in figure, looks, and temperament, but they provided top-notch service.
This left Xu Ran with quite the dilemma.
"Hmph. I'm angry anyway," Xiao Yi Xian pouted, turning her head away to ignore Xu Ran.
"There are a lot of people outside. They seem to be from the mercenary groups. They say you killed more than a dozen of their members. So, they're here for revenge," Xiao Yi Xian said, pointing at the crowd outside.
"Revenge?" Xu Ran smiled. They were just small fries.
"Who are they?"
"Looks like there are people from the Sand Mercenary Group and the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps. Do you want me to dispatch them? My strength is quite formidable now," Xiao Yi Xian offered. Her power had soared, and she was already close to becoming a Great Fighter. Besides, she also practiced poison skills, which even Great Fighters would dread.
You should know that when Xiao Yi Xian was with Xu Ran before, she only had a Douzhe Cultivation Level, and now, in the blink of an eye, she was on the verge of becoming a Great Fighter. Xiao Yi Xian always cultivated on her own, using the elixirs she refined herself, which greatly improved both her alchemy and her "Cultivation Level."
"I'll go," Xu Ran said with a smile, wanting to see Xiao Yan's two brothers for himself. If they annoyed him, he might as well kill them. After all, they were Xiao Yan's relatives, not his.
Qing Lin had an unhappy time in the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps, and they bore a great deal of responsibility for that.
Moreover, the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps, together with outsiders, had bullied Qing Lin, which also irked Xu Ran quite a bit.
These ants, what right did they have to look down on someone else? Weren't they despicable themselves?
In his eyes, they were all the same; there was no difference.
Outside the inn, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, Rob, stood alongside the leaders of the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, their expressions grave. They understood that whoever was capable of killing their men must be very skilled.
But with their members dead, as leaders, they had to take a stand. If they didn't stand up for their fallen men, the solidarity of their mercenary group would crumble.
"Hmph. No matter who it is, anyone who kills members of my Sand Mercenary Group must pay with blood!" Rob, a Great Fighter and one of the strongest in Stone Desert City, spoke arrogantly.
"What about you two, leaders of the Xiao Clan? What's your position? If you can't avenge your own men, then you might as well disband your mercenary group now. Our Sand Mercenary Group will gladly take all of your members."
