Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

In the room,

Xun Er, having finished washing up, stood there in a black gown, slim and graceful, staring out of the window, lost in thought.

So much had happened these past few days that she hadn't quite caught up with it all yet.

First, there was Xiao Yan. The Xiao Yan of the past was so good, very different from others. Even when his "cultivation level" was low, she was willing to be with him. But now, Xiao Yan was completely different from before. Today, Xiao Yan was publicly beaten by Xiao Zhan, and countless people had witnessed his humiliation; he had completely lost face. And she, too, was growing more and more disappointed in Xiao Yan.

Had she really misjudged him before? Could it be that the Xiao Yan now was the real him? Had the Xiao Yan of the past been nothing but a pretense to deceive her?

Besides Xiao Yan, there was Xu Ran.

Compared with Xiao Yan, Xu Ran was so dazzling. Xu Ran's talent was even more formidable than hers, and she still hadn't fully grasped Xu Ran's true strength. She only knew that Xu Ran's "cultivation level" was at least that of a Douzong, and his Alchemist level was no less than 7! And Xu Ran was still so young!

To possess such strength at a young age was a rarity, even in Zhongzhou.

And although she thought Xu Ran was excessive—his flirtatious words were one thing, but he was also shameless enough to embrace her and hold her hand—she didn't know why, but she didn't dislike him at all, and even felt a bit happy about it.

Xu Ran was outstanding; wherever he went, he was rightfully the focus, worshipped by countless people.

It seemed she was starting to like that feeling as well.

"Ling Ying," Xun Er carefully picked a small flower by the window, bringing it to her lips for a light kiss, inhaling the faint scent of the flower, and feeling a sense of tranquility.

At this moment, she didn't know what she wanted anymore.

What kind of person was Xu Ran, and what kind of person was Xiao Yan? She didn't know.

Maybe she used to know clearly, but now her mind was somewhat muddled.

"Miss?"

Ling Ying appeared, bowing respectfully.

The girl before him was a young miss of the distinguished Gu Clan, with high status.

Ling Ying looked at Xun Er, his eyes filled with admiration and a trace of reverence.

Such an outstanding girl, who wouldn't like her? But most people can clearly understand their position. Ling Ying thought, if the miss were to be with Lord Xu Ran, it would indeed be a match made in heaven.

Handsome man, beautiful woman, one was a peerless master, the other a peerless beauty; if these two came together in the end, it would be perfect beyond perfection.

"What do you think of Xu Ran?" Xun Er asked, her small mouth slightly open, looking up at Ling Ying.

Ling Ying might not count for much in the Gu Clan, but having protected her safety in the Xiao Family for so many years, she trusted him completely.

"I think Young Master Xu Ran is very outstanding. Even across Zhongzhou, Young Master Xu Ran could be considered one of the most excellent. If the miss were to be with Young Master Xu Ran, I believe the Family Head and the Elders would agree. Also, Young Master Xu Ran seems to be very attentive to the miss. These past few days, I've been investigating him in secret, and I found that even while sleeping, he has been calling out the miss's name; this shows that Young Master Xu Ran is serious," Ling Ying hurried to flatter.

It was a million times better for the miss to marry Lord Xu Ran than to marry a good-for-nothing bastard like Xiao Yan.

"Really? Xu Ran would actually do that?"

"He's clearly a lecher and a womanizing carrot."

Xun Er felt a secret joy in her heart, but her words were utterly merciless.

Although she thought Xu Ran was quite good, it didn't conceal the fact that Xu Ran was a heartless womanizer.

And Xu Ran even flirted with Ya Fei? Then afterwards, he went to find Xiao Mei? This was simply too despicable!

Hmph!

Both lustful and wicked, accustomed to taking advantage of others!

Even if he truly liked her, she would not allow Xu Ran to succeed.

Xun Er held her head high, her lovely face flushed, obviously in a good mood.

"What about Xiao Yan?" Xun Er now only called Xiao Yan by his name. Since Xiao Yan had told her to get lost, he had deeply wounded her heart. Now, she could no longer call out "Brother Xiao Yan." Once there was a rift between two people, it was a lifetime's rift, hard to mend.

"Xiao Yan has always been a hypocrite. Over the years I sometimes heard Xiao Yan mutter his fiancee's name. I didn't want to make Miss sad, so I kept it hidden. Now that Xiao Yan has revealed his true nature, it's enough to see Xiao Yan's character. With Xiao Yan's poor character and mediocre talent, why does Miss keep her heart hung up on such a person?" Ling Ying mercilessly bad-mouthed Xiao Yan, of course, he was talking nonsense.

This was the mission Xu Ran had given him.

If he could facilitate the pairing of Xu Ran and Miss, he would certainly receive a lot of benefits afterwards and he might even manage to break through to Dou Zun!

Dou Zun, ah!

Having been dispatched by the family to a place like the Jia Ma Empire to protect the Miss meant that no matter how hard he trained, it was almost certain that he would not be able to break through to the lofty realm of Dou Zun.

The cultivation conditions of the Jia Ma Empire were naturally far inferior compared to Zhongzhou. But if he could seize the opportunity provided by Lord Xu Ran, perhaps his future would be even better than those in Zhongzhou! By then he would soar to the skies!

Not only would his strength soar to the skies, but if he managed to bring Miss and Lord Xu Ran together, the Gu Clan would be very pleased with him, and his status within the Gu Clan would become even higher.

"Is everything you said true?"

Xun Er's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

Xiao Yan had never mentioned that fiancee in front of her before, and even when she brought it up, Xiao Yan appeared indifferent. At that time, she thought Xiao Yan didn't care about that fiancee, which is why she would…

Now, Xun Er just felt deceived!

"Yes. Xiao Yan is a person who abandons righteousness at the sight of profit. Before, Xiao Yan thought Miss was the Xiao Family's top talent, that's why he was so good to Miss. But now Nalan Yanran is with the Yunlan Sect..." Ling Ying felt uncomfortable seeing Xun Er so heartbroken.

But to completely sever the ties between Xun Er and Xiao Yan, he pinned whatever he could on Xiao Yan regardless.

For the sake of Miss's future happiness, he felt the sacrifice now was worth it.

Even if Miss would be heartbroken, he had to keep spinning the tale.

Ling Ying kept talking, listing many fabricated accusations. And as Xun Er listened, she became sadder, with her beautiful eyes filling with mist.

Only at this moment did she truly see Xiao Yan's character for what it was.

"So, Xiao Yan, is this what you are like? Is this the real you? Did I misjudge you before?" Xun Er sat on the ground, hugging her legs, looking extremely vulnerable.

"Then, Miss, I'll take my leave." Ling Ying said, and left straight away.
