Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"You know that's good. From now on, we're just friends, but that's all we can be."

Xu Ran agreed so resolutely that Xun Er was slightly stunned, feeling a slight sense of loss in her heart.

She didn't know why her emotions had suddenly dipped, but she quickly recovered to her usual self.

As Xun Er walked away, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile.

The more passionate the girl, the more he liked it. Conquering her like this brought a sense of achievement. How Xun Er was with Xiao Yan, she would be the same with him in time.

With his current strength, he could absolutely force himself upon Xun Er.

But what would be the point of having Xun Er if he couldn't have her heart?

It was not just Xun Er's body he wanted, but also her heart and love. He wanted her to belong to him completely. If he truly forced himself on her, even if Xun Er fell for him later, it would be tainted, and there would always be a barrier between them.

Of course, he could also choose to erase Xun Er's feelings and memories for Xiao Yan. But would Xun Er still be the same person then?

However, things were fine as they were now.

"Once I win over Xun Er, I can go back to Yunlan Sect to see how Nalan Yanran is doing. I wonder how the girl is now." Xu Ran thought to himself. He had given Nalan Yanran an elixir last time, and by now, she should have reached the Dou Shi Level. In fact, with his ability, he could easily help them to ascend to Douhuang, Douzong or even higher levels.

But now was not the time; an increase that rapid might scare them to death.

Besides, in the Jia Ma Empire, their current strength was more than adequate.

"Xu Ran, you son of a bitch!"

"What were you just doing with Xun Er here?"

While Xu Ran was lost in his thoughts, Xiao Yan came out, his eyes red, glaring at Xu Ran with bloodshot eyes.

The hatred in his gaze seemed as if he wanted to tear Xu Ran to pieces.

Having just witnessed Xu Ran hugging Xun Er, he had completely given up!

Before crossing over, he was also a modern man. The divorce rate in his era was extremely high; out of two couples, only one could last until the end. Not to mention, he and Xun'er weren't even husband and wife.

Moreover, over the years, although they had acknowledged their relationship, they had never openly expressed their feelings to each other. So, in fact, they weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend.

In the past, Xun Er was young and didn't understand the benefits of strength and talent. As she grew older, she would naturally look down on his lack of it, which was understandable.

"Xiao Yan? You saw everything? But Xun Er and I have no such relationship, we are just ordinary friends. Don't misunderstand," Xu Ran said with a slight smile.

"Ordinary friends? Misunderstanding?"

"Xu Ran, are you fucking blind?!"

"If you and Xun Er were just ordinary friends, would she dress so nicely to dance for you? Even, you just hugged Xun Er. I've never been that close to her."

The more Xiao Yan spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and tears started to flow.

He truly felt wronged.

Such a beautiful Xun'er, even he couldn't bear to take liberties with her. And he knew Xun Er was not a frivolous girl, so he had always maintained a certain distance from her over the years.

Xun Er's waist was like a willow branch in the breeze, gentle and graceful. To hold her in his arms, what pleasure that must be?

Xun Er's legs were slender and shapely; when she wore tight leggings, she was as beautiful as a flower. And the sight of Xun Er dancing in a miniskirt was eye-opening.

It was the first time he had seen Xun Er so stunning.

Why had he been so foolish before?

How much better it would have been if he had taken that step earlier and made Xun Er his? If he had done so, how could Xun Er ever leave him?

Xun'er is so beautiful, wouldn't it be ecstatic to devour her?

But now... all of this has been given to that damn Xu Ran!

Who is Xu Ran? He doesn't know. He only knows that Xu Ran is very strong, who got involved with Xiao Mei as soon as he showed up, and now he's also with Xun'er. Is this even human? Xiao Mei is so pretty, and it was bad enough that he got her, but why does Xun'er also like Xu Ran?

"Where the hell are you from? What are your intentions? With your strength, you could go to a much broader world. What are you doing in Wu Tan City?" Xiao Yan roared.

He always felt that Xu Ran had a mysterious background and that he didn't come solely for Xun'er.

Maybe, Xu Ran had some unspeakable secret.

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?"

Xu Ran said indifferently, and delivered a slap straight to Xiao Yan's face.

Smack!

A bright red handprint remained on Xiao Yan's cheek.

The burning pain brought Xiao Yan out of his hatred and animosity.

At that moment, he realized that he was facing a strong person, stronger even than his father. There was no one in Wu Tan City who was more powerful than Xu Ran.

At the same time, a strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Xu Ran.

"Oh, you're quite arrogant, aren't you?" Xu Ran slapped him again, and Xiao Yan's cheek visibly swelled up, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Yan, you're nothing but trash. What makes you think you deserve Xun'er's love?"

"Are you worthy of Xun'er? What good is it for Xun'er to follow you? You can't even protect her!"

"Do you deserve to be with Xun'er? Xun'er has been so good to you, what good have you ever done for her?"

Xu Ran kept slapping him, one after another.

Whether it was Xun'er, Yun Yun, or Medusa, they had all greatly helped Xiao Yan in the past. Especially Xun'er, who had always been assisting Xiao Yan—what had he ever done for Xun'er?

He still dares bark here?

Even if Xun'er really had a change of heart, so what? Xun'er and Xiao Yan hadn't pledged themselves to each other.

"Haha."

"You're right! I, this piece of trash, what right do I have to be with Xun'er?"

"But are you any better? You already have Xiao Mei, so why are you still going after Xun'er? How could you possibly be sincere about Xun'er?" Xiao Yan roared back.

"Whether I'm sincere or not, is that any of your business? In front of me, you're nothing. In this world, only the strong can have everything. Sincerity? What is that, even?" Xu Ran said mockingly.

"Heh heh..."

Xiao Yan watched Xu Ran coldly, his heart filled with despair.

At this moment, he finally understood the importance of power. In the past, the most he had to face was mockery and sarcasm. His father was the Clan Leader, so even if other clan members looked at him unfavorably, they couldn't do much, but now...

So what if Xu Ran hits him? Who in the Xiao Family would dare to be Xu Ran's enemy?

Xu Ran's strength was even enough to annihilate the Xiao Family.

That's the importance of power!!!

If he had great strength, would Xu Ran dare to humiliate him like this? All this is because he is too weak, too weak.

He's not even a Dou Zhe, Xu Ran could crush him with a single finger.
