Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Gu Yuena was acutely aware that if she was to be with Xu Ran in the future, forging good relations with these confidantes by his side was indispensable.

If she could enhance their "Cultivation Levels" all around, they would probably be very grateful to her. By then, she would be able to stand her ground among these people.

"I'll leave this matter to you from now on," Xu Ran said, his heart surging with excitement.

Ever since he had his outburst, Zhu Zhuqing and the others had been unable to keep up with his pace. If they could all advance to Titled Douluo, the gap would narrow and it would be easier for them to inherit godhood later on.

Most importantly, how many Titled Douluo were there in Martial Soul Hall now?

Once Zhu Zhuqing and the others all break through to Titled Douluo "Cultivation Level," that would be a force no less than the Martial Soul Hall itself.

And then, Shrek Academy would once again become renowned.

"Hmph. Just you wait and see. I'll definitely surprise you," Gu Yuena said proudly, pulling Zhu Zhuqing aside to talk.

Just then, Bi Ji and Zi Ji finally had a chance to approach Xu Ran and talk to him.

When Gu Yuena was by Xu Ran's side, they would not dare to come over.

Although Gu Yuena was like them, she was, after all, their sovereign.

"You're getting more and more beautiful," Xu Ran remarked as he looked at the two beauties before him.

There was a time when they were untouchable, beings he needed to win over by any means. But now, he already possessed them, and there were many outstanding people by his side. Instead, it was he who didn't have much time to spend with them.

"No matter how beautiful, it can't tie down your heart. Besides, you have even more beautiful ones by your side. Anyway, you can be with anyone," Zi Ji said wistfully, her tone full of grievance.

The bitterness of unrequited love is only understood when one truly falls in love with another.

"Who says that? It's just that I have too many things to do and not enough time to spend with you," Xu Ran said as he stepped forward and embraced the two women.

"As long as you are safe, that's what matters."

Bi Ji, rather than harboring grievances like Zi Ji, gently leaned into Xu Ran's embrace, tender and gentle.

Her temperament was soft and compliant; she would accept whatever Xu Ran did without protest or quarrel.

"Hmm. There aren't many in this world who can threaten my safety anymore, not even a Divine King," Xu Ran declared.

"Is it going to be war with the Divine Realm?"

Bi Ji and Zi Ji watched Xu Ran intently.

And the ferocious beasts nearby couldn't help but prick up their ears, wanting to know Xu Ran's plans.

"There's no rush yet. I haven't found the most secure method," Xu Ran said, gently running his fingers through the women's hair. A person with concerns in their heart is a person with weaknesses.

Perhaps others don't know, but Tang San must be aware of these weaknesses.

"Are you worried about us?" Bi Ji asked softly, her keen mind guessing Xu Ran's concerns.

Yes, indeed.

Xu Ran was so powerful and now with Gu Yuena's help, together they could make an impact comparable to the former Dragon God. Xu Ran was always fearless, but now he was biding his time and even without saying so, she could guess why.

Zi Ji's eyes softened, and she stayed quiet in Xu Ran's arms.

She felt moved. She didn't expect Xu Ran to care so much about their safety. In this life, being with Xu Ran, even death would be worth it.

"It's not about you. If I were a bit stronger, I wouldn't have so many reservations," Xu Ran said.

"But it's just a year or two more. Just wait a little longer, wait until I've finished everything. Then, we can be together for a lifetime without any more worries. By that time, I won't have any affairs to attend to, and I can be with you every day," Xu Ran said tenderly. Holding the gentle warmth of his loved ones, infinite tenderness welled up in his heart.

"Okay," Bi Ji and Zi Ji both nodded firmly, filled with anticipation for that day to come.

Once upon a time, that suave little rogue had become a true powerhouse, an unparalleled existence capable of establishing his place in this world.

Throughout their journey together, Xu Ran had never let them down.

They believed Xu Ran would not be defeated.

"In a few days, you two and Qiu'er will follow Na'er to Tiandou City. I don't feel at ease with you staying here. Once you're in Tiandou City, there will be people to protect you, and I'll feel a bit more relieved," Xu Ran instructed.

This trip to the Aquipeia Forest was made with this intention.

In the past, he feared that having all his women together would lead to chaos in the "Harem."

But now, he was not worried about it at all.

Some things are worrisome the first time, but by the second or third, one's skin becomes as thick as a pig's—not scared of boiling water.

Having brought back so many from Sea God's Island last time, he had lived through it, so what was there to fear?

With the women gathered and Green Sister and Gu Yuena, two supreme powerhouses, to guard them, there would certainly be no problems.

"Oh."

The two women nodded together, their hearts filled with warmth.

They could feel the deep concern and worry in Xu Ran's tone.

Once, as mighty ferocious beasts of the Aquipeia Forest, they were incredibly proud. But now, they feared they might become a burden to Xu Ran. As time changed, everything changed.

"Later, Gu Yuena will help you improve your 'Cultivation Level.' With her 'Cultivation Level,' helping you break through the heavenly tribulations of the future will be a breeze. If all goes well, you will become among the first Divine Beasts in the Divine Realm to rival a First-Level God."

"Divine Beast?"

Zi Ji and Bi Ji were stunned, looking at Xu Ran in disbelief.

Becoming a Divine Beast is the dream of all soul beasts.

And now they had the opportunity?

Even though they didn't care much about these things after being with Xu Ran, it was a temptation no soul beast could refuse.

"Of course. My women, how could they be ordinary?"

"Mhm. We believe in you."

Zi Ji and Bi Ji turned as soft as water, touched and excited. They felt that being with Xu Ran was the best decision they had ever made.

The surrounding ferocious beasts, even Di Tian, all showed envious looks.

The voices of Xu Ran and Bi Ji were not soft, and naturally, others heard them too.

Divine Beast... What a formidable existence that would be?

Bi Ji and Zi Ji used to cultivate with them by the Lake of Life, but now they had received a great opportunity and become Xu Ran's women, potentially Divine Beasts in the future.

And they knew that Bi Ji and Zi Ji had a high chance of becoming Divine Beasts, at least much higher than if they cultivated on their own.

By their own Cultivation, how many years would it take to have a chance? They feared it might never be achieved in a lifetime.

But, by following Xu Ran, once the Divine Realm was overthrown, everything was possible.
