Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Xu Ran's words clearly struck a chord in Xun'er's heart.

She also knew that even with Xiao Yan's previous talent, he was far from meeting the Gu Clan's standards. What's more, Xiao Yan's "Cultivation Level" had been on a steady decline, hadn't it?

"Mind your own business!" Xiao Xun'er became a bit angry, glaring at Xu Ran with her fists clenched.

No matter what, only Xiao Yan had a place in her heart.

"Let me be honest with you. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, only I, Xu Ran, can save Xiao Yan. You should know what being a Seventh Rank Alchemist signifies. If I help, Xiao Yan might very soon regain his former talent in cultivation! But if I don't lend a hand, what will become of Xiao Yan's future?" Xu Ran said slowly, with his hands folded behind his back.

Obviously, he had Xun'er's weak point in his grasp, so he wasn't the least bit anxious.

To seduce a girl, one just needs to take advantage of their weaknesses, then it becomes quite simple.

"Are you threatening me?" Xiao Xun'er's voice grew heavier.

"Threatening? How could this be called threatening? This is a bargain!"

"Become my woman, and then I will cure the illness of your dear brother Xiao Yan. It's a good deal, happy for everyone, isn't it?" Xu Ran said with a wicked smile.

If he could have Xun'er this way, he wouldn't mind at all.

"You dare?"

"If Miss Xun'er thinks I'm wrong, you are free to refuse my offer. If Miss Xun'er doesn't like me, I can also stay far away. It's just too bad about Xiao Yan..." Xu Ran said as he looked toward Xiao Yan.

If it were a bit later, once Yao Lao had absorbed enough Dou Qi to awaken, Xiao Yan would naturally be able to continue his cultivation and increase his "Cultivation Level."

However, Xun'er didn't know this yet.

She worried that Xiao Yan would remain that way forever.

Although she didn't care whether Xiao Yan was a strong person or not, if he failed to continue normal cultivation and break through, the family would never allow her to be with Xiao Yan in the future, not even a slim chance.

Although Xu Ran's words were painful for her, they were true.

"What do you want to do? If you cure brother Xiao Yan, I can give you other benefits." Xiao Xun'er, gritting her teeth, couldn't help but say.

At this moment, curing Xiao Yan was the most important thing; she didn't care about anything else.

Even if Xu Ran asked for Dou Techniques above Earth Rank, she was willing to offer them, just to cure her dear brother Xiao Yan.

"Hmm?"

"I've told you, nothing else compares to you. Of course, if you are unwilling to give yourself to me, I can still cure your dear brother Xiao Yan. But surely you can't expect to pay nothing at all?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Xun'er asked, looking at Xu Ran, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he appeared to relent.

Giving up her chastity for brother Xiao Yan was absolutely out of the question.

"Just let me hold you, that should be okay, right?" Xu Ran said as he eyed Xun'er's slender waist, licking his lips.

"As long as you let me hold you, I promise to cure Xiao Yan," Xu Ran said.

Xiao Xun'er furrowed her delicate brows, a complex expression flickering across her face.

Although she was a miss of the ancient clan, if she were to seek the help of a powerful Alchemist for dear brother Xiao Yan, the Gu Clan might discover her feelings for him and potentially kill him. This was why, despite her noble status, she had been unable to help Xiao Yan over the years.

Ling Ying had also noticed Xun'er's feelings for Xiao Yan but didn't expose them.

However, once Xiao Xun'er went to Zhongzhou to find a powerful Alchemist, the entire Gu Clan would come to know.

At that time, only death would await Xiao Yan.

So now, perhaps the only one who could help Xiao Yan was the Seventh Rank Alchemist standing before him.

"Are you sure you can cure Brother Xiao Yan? If you can't treat him, I will kill you! Although a Seventh Rank Alchemist is very strong, I don't care about that!" Xiao Xun'er said, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness. Despite her young age, she already possessed a commanding presence.

"Of course, I'm confident," Xu Ran shrugged.

"Alright then. Since you've agreed, let's start," Xu Ran said, reaching out to embrace the precious Xun'er. In fact, he wanted to ask for a kiss from Xun'er, but given her conservative nature, she probably wouldn't agree to such a request.

And Xun'er would probably have a bad impression of him then.

But now the situation was just right.

Most importantly, Xiao Yan was right here.

If Xun'er suddenly embraced him, what would Xiao Yan think?

Xiao Yan would definitely be bewildered and deeply hurt.

"Can we wait a moment? Brother Xiao Yan is here, and I'm afraid he might misunderstand," Xun'er said, looking worriedly at Xiao Yan.

"Are you doubting that your feelings for each other aren't strong enough? You are doing this for Xiao Yan's future; he will understand you," Xu Ran tempted from the side. He didn't need to worry whether Xun'er would take the bait; given her feelings for Xiao Yan, she was sure to agree.

"There's no 'but.' You only have this one chance. If you miss it, Xiao Yan will remain useless forever," Xu Ran said, growing impatient. He held the power in his hands now.

Xun'er bit her lip and finally slowly closed her eyes. Xu Ran stepped forward, his palm cradling her tender and soft waist, and drew her into his embrace. Three thousand strands of her aquamarine hair fluttered in the wind, and Xu Ran's heart raced as he looked at the girl in his arms.

What man wouldn't like a girl like Xun'er?

Gentle and tranquil, if she likes you, she wouldn't care about your background, your "Cultivation Level," and would always follow behind you.

Boom!

With Xun'er in Xu Ran's embrace, the scene looked exceedingly beautiful, the handsome man and stunning woman resembling a picture-perfect painting.

"Damn!"

"Ahhh! Let go of my Xun'er!"

"Xun'er! My goddess!"

"I didn't expect Xun'er to actually fall for this guy. It seems the jealousy between Xun'er and Xiao Mei was real!"

"Pfft! I wish I could die! Xiao Mei and Xun'er both like him, doesn't that mean he could have both..."

"Ah! What a beast!"

Countless voices of envy, jealousy, and hate came from the mouths of the Disciples of the Xiao Family, and even the Elders of the Xiao Family couldn't stay calm. Xun'er was just too outstanding!

"Has Xun'er left Yan'er too?" Patriarch Xiao Zhan watched this scene, feeling somewhat desperate. He was both heartbroken and despondent. Now, even Xun'er had left.

It was all because Xiao Yan wasn't competitive enough!

Xiao Yan, struck hard, watched in horror as Xu Ran held Xun'er in his arms and collapsed onto the ground, his buttocks splayed out.

His figure seemed lonely, and even more desolate.

Seeing Xu Ran holding Xun'er, his heart felt dead!

Before, everyone thought that Xun'er approaching Xu Ran must have been for that reason, and he had defended her vehemently. He believed that Xun'er liked him and could never fall in love with someone else.

But the confidence he had just now was matched by the blow he felt now!

"Xun'er! My Xun'er! Why? Are you leaving me too?" Xiao Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in despair, his heart aching fiercely.
