Chapter 875: Chapter 872: The Traits of Xu Ran_1
"You fella, the women from the lower realm are all pretty talented. Even without you, they all have the potential to become gods," the Goddess of Kindness spoke. She didn't know how Xu Ran managed it.
Those women, each with excellent qualifications, actually could get along so peacefully beside Xu Ran.
The fact that so many people serve one husband in harmony is nothing short of amazing.
Since ancient times, it's been said that even a virtuous official would find it difficult to settle domestic affairs. But look at Xu Ran, he manages it quite well.
She knew that even amongst emperors, there were many disputes within the "Harem".
"That must be because of my personal charm," Xu Ran said, smugly.
"Pfft. You think I would believe you?" the Goddess of Kindness gave Xu Ran a sidelong glance. She had never met a second person who could boast so shamelessly, without turning red or skipping a beat, other than Xu Ran.
But she also felt there was some truth to what Xu Ran said. He indeed was a man of charm; in all her years, she had met countless people, but they were like passing clouds that left no impression in her mind. Xu Ran, however, was different. Whether it was his shamelessness or his brazen boldness, they had left a deep impression on her heart.
There wasn't one in the Divine Realm who dared to tease her like that.
But Xu Ran dared.
Moreover, Xu Ran was knowledgeable and full of jokes that made her laugh uproariously. Also, those words, they were all fine in their own right, but when they came from Xu Ran's mouth, they seemed to turn into descriptions of misdeeds, and were very vivid at that.
She feared that even after the sea becomes mulberry fields, she would still not forget Xu Ran.
"Are you going to see Gu Yuena next?" the Goddess of Kindness asked.
Back then, the Five Great Supreme Gods joined forces to slay the Dragon God, suppress the Golden Dragon King, and even though Gu Yuena escaped, she was injured by them.
The relationship between the Divine Kings and Gu Yuena was not good.
Moreover, it was rumored that Gu Yuena's power had recovered to an extremely high level, even stronger than when she fled from the Divine Realm.
If Gu Yuena had that kind of strength, then naturally, she was not weak.
But even if outmatched, she would never admit to being much weaker than Gu Yuena. She had her own pride too.
"Just gonna take a look along the way. If I pass by here and don't go to see Na'er, she'll beat me up next time she sees me," Xu Ran touched his nose. Gu Yuena's strength was very formidable; he was no match for her now.
The divine injury on Gu Yuena's body had been healed, and she had recovered power that was comparable to, or even a bit stronger than, that of a Divine King.
"Unexpectedly, Xu Ran, who has the audacity to kill two First-Level Gods and oppose the gods of the Divine Realm, is henpecked," the Goddess of Kindness said as if she was seeing Xu Ran for the first time.
"So what if I'm henpecked? If my wife wants to manage me, I'm happy about it, what's the problem?" Xu Ran said cheerfully. Besides, in the quiet hours of the night, it's up in the air who's in charge.
Make them happy in regular times, so when it's his turn to be happy, he can boldly make certain requests without hesitation.
This fits perfectly with the law of conservation.
If one only takes without giving, even the deepest affections will some day run dry.
"I think I now understand why those people are so devoted to you," the Goddess of Kindness watched Xu Ran blankly.
"What?" Xu Ran appeared confused.
"I used to think you were different from other people on the Continent. But before, I could never figure out what the difference was. Now I think I've found the answer," the Goddess of Kindness looked Xu Ran up and down, contemplative.
"Could it be that I'm even more handsome now? Well, that might be true." Xu Ran touched his chin, brimming with confidence. Originally, his body, shaped by the System's Miss, was already extremely perfect. As he continued to grow, he also gained excellent genes from the soul beasts, which made Xu Ran's masculine charm truly stand out.
It could be said that Xu Ran was now considered the most handsome man in Soul Land.
Even if the scope is broadened to the Divine Realm, Xu Ran was confident that he could rank within the top three.
All those considered Pan An in front of Xu Ran were not even close to par.
The most handsome guys on Earth would seem quite ordinary in Soul Land, let alone Xu Ran, who was considered the epitome of male perfection in Soul Land.
"Handsome, my foot!" The Goddess of Kindness was utterly defeated by Xu Ran's shamelessness. Although she admitted that Xu Ran was a bit handsome, how many of those outstanding girls had fallen head over heels in love with Xu Ran just because of his good looks?
"Ever since the profession of Soul Master appeared, men and women were almost considered equal. However, due to various societal restrictions, there's still unfairness between men and women."
"Even in the Divine Realm, our status as female gods is inferior to that of the male gods. Even though I am a Divine King, Xiao Lü and I have far less influence in the Divine Realm than Xiao Zi and Evil. And it's not just because Xiao Lü and I are reluctant to involve ourselves in the politics of the Divine Realm," the Goddess of Kindness said thoughtfully.
Maybe this was where Xu Ran differed from other men on the Continent.
Xu Ran showed respect for women.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing's "Cultivation Level" was far weaker than his and she could not offer much help, he was still willing to take them along and help them grow stronger.
Even as he became powerful, Xu Ran was still willing to listen to their thoughts.
How many men only remembered their wives when their desires surged?
It was precisely because of Xu Ran's unique character and morals that Zhuqing Xiaowu were so devoted to him.
With a man like that, why wouldn't they follow him closely?
"Am I really that good?"
Xu Ran was stunned, he hadn't expected the impression he left on the Goddess of Kindness to be so favorable.
However, upon reflection, being influenced by the ideas of his previous world, he tended to be quite open-minded about these matters.
"I'm relieved to see that you've noticed so many of my good qualities. You've been studying me so meticulously, could it be that you've started to like me?" Xu Ran said, grinning, as he looked at the Goddess of Kindness's porcelain white face.
"Drop dead."
"Even if I were to casually fall for someone, it wouldn't be you," the Goddess of Kindness said fiercely, kicking Xu Ran hard.
Despite her usually good temper, the constant teasing from Xu Ran was getting to her.
Her heart would race uncontrollably because of Xu Ran, and it was terribly uncomfortable.
She realized that Xu Ran was just begging for a beating.
If Xu Ran continued to speak so carelessly, she would...
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I've noticed you have some hidden violent genes in your body. If they get triggered, the consequences will be severe," Xu Ran said earnestly, examining the Goddess of Kindness.
"That's just towards you. With other people, I've always been extremely good-tempered," the Goddess of Kindness said with a darkened expression.
