Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Wait a minute...

Cai Lin and Qing Lin, why does it sound so...

Xiao Yan sure is casual with names.

"Let's go, it's time to head back," Xu Ran said as he held Qing Lin and rapidly made his way towards Stone Desert City.

Stone Desert City was still a desolate sight; people probably didn't dare to come out as long as Xu Ran remained there. With the two strongest mercenary groups in Stone Desert City bloodwashed, it would be strange if the ordinary people weren't terrified.

"Xu Ran, where did you go? We've been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find you. If we didn't know any better, we would have thought you went off to kill people again," Xiao Yi Xian said with a giggle, covering her mouth.

Now, Xu Ran was probably more frightening than the devil in Stone Desert City.

Xue Mei and Feilin stood beside Xiao Yi Xian, also somewhat shocked upon hearing that Xu Ran had killed so many people. In their perception, Xu Ran had always been very gentle, so much so that they even thought he had a good temper, but today they truly saw Xu Ran's true colors.

If there were no other people

"I only kill the bad guys, not the good ones," Xu Ran said as he hugged Xiao Yi Xian, caressing her soft, fragrance waist.

Xiao Yi Xian's face blushed, and she gave Xu Ran a look but didn't try to break free from his hold. Xu Ran hadn't been with her yesterday, and now her sense of crisis was growing.

Now was probably just the beginning. Later, when she followed Xu Ran back, she would meet even more of his close female friends. By then, she probably wouldn't be the one by Xu Ran's side, and she'd become just a foil.

This made Xiao Yi Xian, who had been making rapid progress in her alchemy, also start to feel depressed.

"By the way, this is a gift for you. This Qinglian contains a rich fire element, nurtured in the underground magma for a thousand years to form. It's a real treasure. If you sit on it to cultivate in the future, your progress will be like flight," Xu Ran said, presenting the Qinglian he had taken from the Magma World.

The Qinglian that could nurture the Green Lotus Core Flame continuously absorbed fire element energy from the air.

And fire property cultivators sitting on it for cultivation would find the surrounding fire element energy more abundant and the energy even purer.

"Wow."

Xiao Yi Xian took the Qinglian from Xu Ran's hands. Even those who knew nothing about treasures could feel the rich energy within it.

This was undoubtedly a real treasure.

However, for Xiao Yi Xian, what made her happiest wasn't receiving such a treasure but Xu Ran's attitude.

Xu Ran hadn't stayed in her room last night, yet he took the initiative to give her such a precious item. In her view, Xu Ran cared more about her.

Xue Mei and Feilin couldn't help feeling a bit disheartened. Although they were officially Xu Ran's women, their emotional connection with him was far less profound than Xiao Yi Xian's.

However, they were already very content to be Xu Ran's women; how could they ask for anything more...

"By the way, these are for you. These lotus seeds are also extremely precious. They can be directly consumed and refined. Each of you can only refine and absorb one seed at a time. The fire property energy contained in these seeds should be able to raise your Cultivation Level to Dou Shi Level," Xu Ran continued, noticing the two women's feelings.

"Your Cultivation Levels are still very weak. Once you've grown stronger, I'll give you other gifts," he added.

After all, they had a substantial relationship with him; they were his people, and he was always very generous to his own.

"Thank you, my lord, for the generous gift."

Xue Mei and Feilin were overjoyed.

If they were to cultivate on their own, it would probably take another two or three years to breakthrough to the Dou Shi level. Their cultivation talents were not outstanding.

"Little Fairy, I need to leave for a bit to take care of some business, and it's a bit inconvenient to take you with me. How about you wait here for me? I'll come back for you once I'm done," Xu Ran said with a sheepish smile.

Although Xu Ran was very confident in himself, taking four women to see Medusa would only complicate things.

Even with his confidence, he did not believe he could captivate Queen Medusa right away.

Such an arrogant woman would definitely be very conservative in that regard.

He certainly didn't want to make a bad impression on Medusa.

Most importantly, three women were already quite a hand full, and having more people would make things difficult; it would definitely affect his performance.

Now, Queen Medusa wanted to use the Strange Fire to become a Douzong, which was extremely difficult. In the original work, Queen Medusa almost perished. Although the outcome was good in the end, for a long time, Queen Medusa had lost her memory and turned into the form of a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

It could be said that consuming Strange Fire to rush for the breakthrough to Douzong was fraught with great risks for Queen Medusa.

Yet, he could help Queen Medusa breakthrough to Douzong without any obstacles.

He believed that she would definitely not refuse at that time.

Then, he could take the opportunity to propose some reasonable requests, and then...

Ahem...

"Hmph. Looking at you, even if you're going on business, it's definitely not going to be anything serious!" Xiao Yi Xian said angrily, seeing Xu Ran's mischievous smile.

She knew Xu Ran too well; whenever he had that expression, it definitely meant he was thinking about those kinds of things.

Besides, what could Xu Ran have to do that he couldn't bring them along, unless it was...

"Alright. I'll tell you the truth. The Qinglian I just gave you once nurtured a Strange Fire called Green Lotus Core Flame. But when I got the Qinglian, I didn't discover the Strange Fire; it was taken away by someone else earlier. That person is the leader of the Snake-People Tribe, Queen Medusa. I'm planning to go and take back the Strange Fire," Xu Ran stated righteously.

As he spoke, he took out the snake scale.

"Strange Fire?" Xiao Yi Xian, Feilin, Xue Mei, they all suddenly understood. No one in this world could resist the allure of the Strange Fire, and they believed that even Xu Ran would think so.

In this Continent, any fire property cultivator would take pride in possessing a top-ranked Strange Fire.

"But are you sure that it's just for the Strange Fire?"

Xiao Yi Xian, who knew Xu Ran well, looked at him doubtfully.

The beauty and strength of Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe were both outstanding; she was stunningly beautiful and even in Qing Shan Town, she was well-known. Xu Ran was so lecherous that she suspected that might be one of his goals for this trip as well.

As for the Strange Fire, she felt that it might not be as alluring to Xu Ran as it seemed. Xu Ran's Alchemy was so refined, his own Flame probably far more terrifying than any Strange Fire.

"If I can do some other things by the way, I naturally wouldn't refuse," Xu Ran said, touching his nose. Queen Medusa was one of the most beautiful women in this world, and he couldn't possibly miss out on meeting her.

"Then go early and return early. We'll wait here for you to come back," Xiao Yi Xian said without giving Xu Ran too hard a time. She knew Xu Ran's character; Xu Ran was naturally flirtatious and could not be restricted.
