Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"I won't let go." Xu Ran held Nalan Yanran even tighter.

"What are you doing?" Nalan Yanran stuck out her tongue a little and looked at Xu Ran.

"I just want them to know that you are my woman, so they won't dare to have any designs on you in the future. Otherwise, you're so beautiful, who knows how many rivals I'll have to compete with?" Xu Ran said earnestly.

"That won't happen, I won't be moved by anyone else." Nalan Yanran said anxiously. Now that she was with Xu Ran like this, even if he didn't want her in the future, she would not be with anyone else.

Xu Ran had given her so many benefits, greatly enhancing her talent and even giving her the chance to reach the legendary Douzong realm. So, even if she stayed unmarried for life, she was willing to remain chaste for Xu Ran.

"So you mean you will only be moved by me?" Xu Ran said playfully.

"Shameless, you bad egg. I didn't mean that."

Nalan Yanran gently pinched Xu Ran at his waist, acting like a coquettish young girl.

And this sweet scene only made the Yun Lan Sect disciples feel even more fed with dog food.

Outrageous!

Unable to hold back any longer, someone rushed over.

However, they hadn't even approached Xu Ran and Nalan Yanran when they were sent flying by a slap from Xu Ran, who didn't even need to touch them.

"I recognize him, that's the esteemed master!"

"That's the master who saved us in the Magical Beast Forest last time!"

Suddenly, someone recognized Xu Ran's identity, and their eyes filled with respect.

In their eyes, Xu Ran was an absolute master. Without him, they would have died last time.

They didn't know Xu Ran's exact strength, but they knew he was very powerful, and even the sect's upper echelons held him in high regard.

"That's the master? He's so young? My goodness!"

"Why is someone so young already so awesome? Why is there such a huge gap between people?"

Everyone was shocked and took a sharp intake of breath.

Fortunately, they had not acted rashly, or else the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Even if the master did not take action against them, the sect would not have let them off easily. Now everyone in the sect knew that this master was a distinguished guest of the Yun Lan Sect, and even the senior sect members had to treat him with caution.

The scene they had imagined did not happen, and Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.

She stared at Xu Ran, lost in thought.

With the way those guys were infatuated with her, if someone stood by her side, wouldn't these Yun Lan Sect disciples turn the world upside down? Only Xu Ran could suppress them.

Those who could enter the Yun Lan Sect were not lacking in talent.

But when compared with Xu Ran, there was no comparison at all.

Even her teacher, the Great Elder, was no match for Xu Ran!

"Xu Ran, are you an alchemist?" Suddenly, Nalan Yanran asked. She looked at Xu Ran somewhat nervously.

After all, the elixir that Xu Ran had given her was not of low grade.

How could Xu Ran have such powerful elixirs on him? Instead of keeping such precious elixirs for himself, he gave them to her—what did that imply?

Either Xu Ran came from an even greater and more mysterious power that didn't view these elixirs as important,

or Xu Ran was an alchemist himself, and he had refined that elixir on his own!

And she felt the latter was more likely!

Then, Xu Ran must be at least a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, or even possibly a Seventh Rank Alchemist!

Thinking this, Nalan Yanran grew even more excited.

What kind of extraordinary bearing must a Seventh Rank Alchemist have?

Even Dan King Gu He was only a Sixth-Grade Alchemist! She had seen how much respect the Great Elder and the others showed Gu He when they met him. Alchemists were indeed the most respected of professions.

There was a time when she had been very envious and wanted to become an Alchemist. But her attributes meant she could never be an Alchemist.

"What do you think? Or did that Elixir just jump out from the cracks in the stones?" Xu Ran said irritably.

For him, Alchemy was far too simple.

After his strength had increased, understanding these skills required only a bit of pondering.

"Really? Then what grade Alchemist are you?" asked Nalan Yanran, as happy as a child, unable to resist asking further.

"Should be Seventh Grade," Xu Ran thought for a moment.

If he claimed to be a Ninth Grade Alchemist, that would work too. He could even refine Elixirs that were more formidable than those of the Ninth Grade.

"What do you mean 'should be'?" Nalan Yanran held her breath, utterly shocked.

"I mean, perhaps a bit more powerful than Seventh Grade," Xu Ran teased.

"More powerful than Seventh Grade?" Nalan Yanran was stunned, staring blankly at Xu Ran. She simply couldn't imagine; anyone more formidable than a Seventh Rank Alchemist would be...

She dared not even think of such a level of Alchemist.

Being only a Sixth Grade Alchemist, Dan King Gu He was already the most formidable Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, deeply respected by all the Douhuang (Battle Emperor) Strong Ones. She had assumed Xu Ran, even if strong, would at most be a Seventh Rank Alchemist, but she hadn't expected...

"How about you join our Yunlan Sect, okay?"

Nalan Yanran's voice became soft and coquettish, batting her watery, sparkling eyes.

A powerful Alchemist joining would quickly elevate a power to the next level.

Indeed, a powerful Alchemist was even more important than a strong fighter!

Because a powerful Alchemist could swiftly cultivate many strong fighters, rapidly advancing the strength of a sect.

If she managed to recruit such an impressive Alchemist for the sect, wouldn't her master be very happy?

"Why? It would be more appropriate for your master to come and ask me personally," Xu Ran smiled. If Yun Yun personally invited him to join the Yunlan Sect, he might consider it.

Of course, not a direct acceptance; he would definitely need to gain some benefits first.

How could he proceed without any benefits?

Thinking of Yun Yun, Xu Ran couldn't help but swallow.

On the Fighting Spirit Continent, Yun Yun's allure was clearly greater than that of Nalan Yanran.

In the original story, Yun Yun and Xiao Yan had an intricate and inseverable emotional entanglement. But now that was impossible; in both body and soul, Yun Yun could only belong to him, Xu Ran.

"Hehe, don't tell me you've taken a liking to my master?" Nalan Yanran teased, looking at Xu Ran with a mischievous smile. She had long known Xu Ran was a philandering playboy. If not for his lustful nature, he wouldn't have treated her so well.

In the Yunlan Sect, her master's beauty was much more renowned than hers. And indeed, her master was a stunningly gorgeous woman, whom she herself adored very much!

"Don't be ridiculous. It's not possible; I'm merely a bit curious. Besides, when we get married, your master will attend as an elder. If I had such thoughts about your master, what kind of person would I be?" Xu Ran explained.

However, Nalan Yanran's face showed disbelief. She didn't buy Xu Ran's smooth talk at all! You couldn't trust a word men said at times like this. They say men are creatures that think with their lower half.
