Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"Hm?"

Qian Ran turned around to see Zhou Yi's perfectly sculpted, beautiful legs.

She really knew how to captivate him; in the past few days, she had dressed herself even more alluringly. Wearing black stockings gave her a dashing, assertive look as a teacher, but in sheer stockings…?

"I just came over after my bath," Zhou Yi murmured.

Qian Ran noticed the faint, different fragrance Zhou Yi's freshly bathed skin carried and nodded.

What a sly temptress.

He wondered what Fan Yu's reaction would be if he knew Zhou Yi acted like this. Just thinking about Zhou Yi's usual cold and noble demeanor at the academy, like a goddess, but now coming to him on her own, with such a seductive gaze, Qian Ran looked at her with a sense of disbelief.

Cautiously, Zhou Yi sat down next to Qian Ran, glancing worriedly at Zhu Lu, who was facing away.

But realizing her identity was still safe, she relaxed.

Leaning on Qian Ran's shoulder, she breathed in his unique scent, which made her feel entranced.

Most men were simply not unpleasant-smelling at best, yet Qian Ran had a light, pleasant fragrance that warmed her from within.

Skillfully, Zhou Yi slid her hand along Qian Ran's torso, feeling his firm chest and sculpted abs.

Like all of Qian Ran's women, Zhou Yi was utterly enamored with his abs.

Running her fingers over the chiseled muscles, she murmured, "Qian Ran, your abs are so firm."

"Do you like them?" Qian Ran asked seductively.

"Mhm."

Zhou Yi nodded without hesitation.

This young man drove her absolutely crazy.

Lately, she couldn't even sleep well on her own.

When Qian Ran didn't come to her, it always left her feeling unhappy.

Qian Ran often thought of Zhou Yi, but he didn't visit her too frequently. With so many people around him, how could he have time to visit her every day? If he did, others would get jealous.

Zhou Yi understood this, so she took the initiative herself.

She knew that if she didn't seek him out, surrounded by so many people, he might not find the time to come to her. He might even forget her entirely in a few days.

Hearing Qian Ran and Zhou Yi's conversation, Zhu Lu turned around.

Seeing Zhou Yi, she felt immediately displeased.

How could their private time together be interrupted? And who was this woman?

With that flirtatious look, she couldn't be a decent person.

Zhu Lu was far from happy. If she wasn't worried about losing favor with Qian Ran, she might have snapped at her.

She knew many were interested in Qian Ran, but how could anyone intrude on their time together?

This was supposed to be their date. If someone stole Qian Ran's attention, would her position in his heart drop? Maybe he would like her a lot less.

Thinking this way, Zhu Lu grew anxious.

Zhou Yi, noticing Zhu Lu's glare, felt her face heat up, wishing she could disappear into a hole. Especially seeing Zhu Lu's look of disdain made her feel utterly humiliated.

After all, Zhu Lu was one of her students, who usually respected her greatly.

This realization made her feel like her face was on fire.

She wondered what had happened to her. Had falling in love with Qian Ran really changed her so much? Even her pride had dissolved, just for the chance to spend some time with him.

But when she looked up and saw Qian Ran's gaze—warm yet with a hint of roguishness—she fell for him all over again.

As long as she could be with him, no rumors or judgments mattered to her.

Moreover, Zhu Lu didn't recognize her, so she didn't worry about her identity being exposed. At least, not for now.

"Why does she feel oddly familiar?" Zhu Lu stared at Zhou Yi, unable to shake the feeling that she knew her somehow.

But she couldn't pinpoint the feeling. She had never seen this woman at Shrek Academy, or so she thought.

Luckily, Zhou Yi always wore a mask in the academy to make herself appear older. Otherwise, she would have been easily recognized, and never dared to be so bold.

Seeing Zhu Lu only glaring and not acting further, Zhou Yi relaxed.

Her desire to be with Qian Ran overpowered everything else.

Lowering her head, Zhou Yi kissed Qian Ran's firm, toned abs.

"Shameless!"

Zhu Lu could barely contain her anger.

She muttered the words, but Qian Ran and Zhou Yi both heard them.

Zhou Yi pretended not to hear, remaining pressed against Qian Ran. In this moment, she forgot everything else—her worldly identity, her pride. She was willing to do anything to stay close to him.

Her life goals had once been to become a teacher at Shrek Academy, steadily growing and training future talents.

But now, all she wanted was to be with Qian Ran.

If anyone had told her before she would end up like this, she would never have believed it. Deep down, she still wanted to be a strong, independent woman who didn't rely on men. But now, having tasted the sweetness of love, she was willing to compete for his favor, by any means.

Qian Ran had pulled her out of the darkness, and she feared that he might one day abandon her and push her back into that darkness.

She had once been able to accept living in the shadows, but having seen the light, she couldn't bear the thought of returning to that bleak life.

"Um…"

Even Qian Ran was speechless.

What was Zhou Yi doing, acting like this? She seemed almost obsessed.

Wasn't she worried Zhu Lu might recognize her? Granted, only a few teachers would recognize this face at the academy.

But seriously, she was being too intense.

Just look at how upset his dear Zhu Lu was!

"Lulu, don't be angry," Qian Ran said gently, trying to calm her.

"It's not your fault," Zhu Lu replied softly, shaking her head.

Now, she finally understood why Qian Ran had become so flirtatious. No doubt it was due to these troublesome women leading him astray.

Zhu Lu was both anxious and frustrated, fearing that Qian Ran's affection might shift away from her.

As someone from a prestigious family, she had been trained in these matters from a young age. She knew well that a woman pursuing a man had an easy path. This woman seemed young and alluring, with an impressive figure, and she was so forward—of course Qian Ran would be attracted to her.

It was her first date with Qian Ran, and yet the competition already felt overwhelming.

Though this world didn't have the word "competition" in quite the same way, Zhu Lu felt the pressure very acutely.

Being with such an outstanding man as Qian Ran, she had to constantly be on guard for others trying to take him away. Normal competition was one thing, but people like this woman who would stop at nothing to win his affection were truly maddening.

It felt like college students looking for jobs: not only were the positions few and the competition intense, but there were always some who'd go to the employer and say they'd even work for free, just for the learning experience. Such people disrupted the market and took jobs in the most underhanded way possible.

In Zhu Lu's eyes, Zhou Yi was just like that.
