NOVEL NEXT Chapter 147: Chapter 146: That Darn Sense of Blasphemy
Qianran didn't make things difficult for Ma Xiaotao and handed over the Phoenix Divine Fire without any fuss. At the Treasure Pavilion, he only casually observed the quality of Shrek Academy's inner-court beauties from afar, without actively approaching any of them. For now, his focus was on solidifying his current gains.
However, the beauty of these senior inner-court sisters was undeniable—almost all of them were stunning. Even those with average looks had an aura that made them stand out. The quality of the inner court's beauties was significantly higher than that of the outer court overall.
After a rewarding trip to the Treasure Pavilion, Qianran returned to the dorm and gathered Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er together. Their eyes lit up at the sight of the treasures he'd acquired.
First, Qianran distributed potent cultivation-enhancing pills, one for each of them, enough to boost their spirit power by two or three levels each. Coupled with the other heavenly treasures he'd purchased, they would experience significant growth in their cultivation for quite some time.
"Wow! I actually gained two levels!" Tang Ya exclaimed, overjoyed as she jumped into Qianran's arms, unable to contain her excitement.
Two levels of spirit power may not sound like much, but it would have taken her four to six months of cultivation to achieve this on her own. Tang Ya's spirit power had risen from thirty-two to thirty-four, a significant increase.
"I never thought you'd have such treasures, Qianran. You're amazing!" Jiang Nannan said, also waking from her cultivation with eyes filled with admiration.
"Hey, anything you want as a reward tonight, just say the word!" Jiang Nannan teased with a mischievous smile. Tang Ya rolled her eyes but didn't protest.
"Is that so? Well, let me think about it," Qianran grinned, not wanting to pass up this opportunity.
One's the leader of the Tang Sect, another the successor of the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Spirit, and yet another is Xiao Wu's daughter. This setup… feels promising, doesn't it?
Soon, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er had also finished refining their pills, gaining an impressive three-level increase. Their excitement rivaled Jiang Nannan's, and they looked ready to pull Qianran into a private room to fully express their gratitude.
Qianran handed out four sets of clothing to the girls. They were already familiar with his unusual wardrobe choices and had come to expect these surprises.
Among the outfits were some unique costumes inspired by Qianran's previous world—hanfu, Japanese school uniforms, and lolita-style dresses, among others. He'd even brought out a hanfu on occasion, and the girls had loved it, enjoying the unique aesthetic.
For Xiao Xiao, he chose a pink dress, often worn by Xiao Wu during her early days at Notting Academy, featuring a bunny handbag and cartoon stockings—a look that was simply adorable. Xiao Xiao was naturally cute, and in this outfit, she looked even more so. Qianran felt almost guilty, the way it seemed to make her look younger than she was.
For Dong'er, he picked a pink princess dress with a cropped top, a bold look worn by Xiao Wu during her time at Shrek Academy. With its snug fit, it emphasized Dong'er's figure in surprising ways.
Tang Ya wore a fitted black athletic outfit, inspired by the attire for the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, black with pink accents and paired with stockings. Tang Ya's gentle and cool demeanor gave it a striking, contrasting appeal.
And for Jiang Nannan, he chose a beautiful crystal princess dress, first worn by Xiao Wu five years after her introduction. Pinkish-purple with silver threads, it radiated an elegant, mature beauty that highlighted Jiang Nannan's natural grace.
The feeling was surreal.
Though these outfits didn't necessarily make them more beautiful, the overwhelming sense of "blasphemy" hit Qianran with full force. A mischievous grin spread across his face at the thought of Tang San.
If Tang San knew about this, he'd be furious.
As the main anti-Tang San force on the continent, Qianran was resolute in carrying out his "opposition" plan. Apart from Xiao Xiao, each of these girls had a connection to Tang San and Xiao Wu: Jiang Nannan with her Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit, Tang Ya as Tang Sect's leader and Blue Silver Grass wielder, and, of course, Dong'er. All of them were intended to aid Huo Yuhao in his training, but now, they were fully loyal to Qianran.
Qianran chuckled, embracing his role as the villain.
