Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Smooth talker!" Xiao Yi Xian spat disdainfully before falling silent.

Meanwhile, Xu Ran efficiently set up the tent and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, led Xiao Yi Xian into it.

This scene filled the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps with intense envy.

Xiao Yi Xian had always been a conservatively dressed girl back in Qing Shan Town, and no one had ever seen her take an interest in any man. And now, she was sharing a tent with another man?

Upon witnessing such a scene, who wouldn't feel envious?

"Young Master, this guy seems a bit presumptuous," someone approached Mu Li and said, unable to hold back. In his eyes, even if someone else were to win over Xiao Yi Xian, it should not be Xu Ran, an outsider.

Xiao Yan, despite being despicable and shameless, was at least a Five-Star Fighter.

But what about Xu Ran? He appeared to have no significant strength.

Even if Xu Ran's strength could match Xiao Yan's, as a newcomer, he shouldn't be so arrogant.

Xiao Yi Xian was the goddess of Qing Shan Town, how could an outsider expect to win her over so easily?

"Hmph. I think he is tired of living," Mu Li said coldly.

"I don't know which prominent family he comes from, but Qing Shan Town is not his territory. Especially now, when we are in the Magic Beast Mountain Range," Mu Li's eyes flashed with a cold light.

In the Magic Beast Mountain Range, countless people had died from Magical Beast attacks.

A few more deaths would hardly raise suspicions.

"Young Master, what do you mean?" The mercenaries perked up, all understanding Mu Li's line of thinking quickly; they were, after all, veterans of their trade.

"Hmm," Mu Li made a throat-slitting gesture.

"But that guy seems to have a good relationship with Xiao Yi Xian. If we kill him, Xiao Yi Xian might get angry," a mercenary voiced his concern.

"Do you think that if we did those things, I'd still care about Xiao Yi Xian's feelings? She's just a woman, after all; why should we need to be so reasonable? If I can't pursue her by normal means, then don't blame me, Mu Li, for being ruthless."

"You surely don't want to see Xiao Yi Xian becoming someone else's woman, right?"

"After the deed is done, I'll treat you guys to a good time in Qing Shan Town to unwind," Mu Li continued.

"The Young Master is right. What's Xu Ran anyway? We've never even heard of him; this guy was showing off in front of Xiao Yi Xian on his first day, and now he's living in a tent with her. If we don't act soon, Xiao Yi Xian will definitely be spoiled," they reasoned.

"In the Magic Beast Mountain Range, now is the perfect opportunity. If Xiao Yi Xian becomes the Young Master's woman, our Wolf Head Mercenary Corps will gain a physician, which would be an immense boon."

The mercenaries analyzed, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

In the Magic Beast Mountain Range, they had grown accustomed to killing and plundering. In the past, they had even killed other mercenary groups to seize various treasures. This place only respected the law of the jungle.

As long as you have the power, you could do whatever you wanted.

Even though the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps were infatuated with Xiao Yi Xian, if they were able to witness the once-adored goddess being trampled upon, it would satisfy their twisted psychology. Moreover, they hoped Xiao Yi Xian would tie her fate to the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps, as that would significantly increase their survival rate when venturing into the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

"Xu Ran, what exactly is your relationship with Xiao Yan? Why does he hate you so much?" Inside the tent, Xiao Yi Xian uneasily searched for a topic of conversation. Her beautiful eyes occasionally swept across Xu Ran's handsome face, her heart pounding.

"Xiao Yan..." Xu Ran explained to Xiao Yi Xian. As he noticed her attitude towards Xiao Yan growing increasingly worse, Xu Ran felt satisfied. If not for his interference, Xiao Yi Xian would have continued to admire Xiao Yan according to the plot, remaining chaste and unmarried for him until the end. But now, Xiao Yi Xian detested Xiao Yan immensely.

This extreme contrast in the storyline gave Xu Ran a sense of accomplishment.

In the original story, Xiao Yi Xian was so kind and gentle, but Xiao Yan failed to see it. Now, he intended to make Xiao Yan unworthy of her.

Now, no matter how capable Xiao Yan was, it would be impossible to reverse the impression he had left in Xiao Yi Xian's heart. In other words, Xiao Yan would no longer have any romantic involvement with Xiao Yi Xian.

In contrast, it was Xu Ran who took his place.

"So, Xiao Yan is that despicable! To be expelled from the family and disavowed by his father, it seems Xiao Yan really isn't anything decent," Xiao Yi Xian nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yan was a Five-Star Dou Zhe and still so young; his achievements were bound to be high in the future.

However, the Xiao Family had chosen to directly expel such a genius, and Xiao Yan's father even refused to acknowledge his own son. This was enough to demonstrate that Xiao Yan's character must be abhorrent to an extreme.

If it weren't for the family's utter disappointment, someone with Xiao Yan's talent would have been nurtured with all their strength.

"Hehe, so you mean to say you stole his childhood sweetheart and fiancée? No wonder he hates you so much," Xiao Yi Xian said with a giggly tone, but her smile seemed a bit forced.

She had just found out that Nalan Yanran, the Heaven's Proud Daughter of the Yunlan Sect, was in a romantic relationship with Xu Ran!

Nalan Yanran was the disciple of the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, a well-known Heaven's Proud Daughter whom countless mercenaries traveling from the south to the north of Qing Shan Town had once expressed fondness for.

So she knew about these people.

Knowing that Xu Ran had such formidable individuals by his side, Xiao Yi Xian naturally felt a little dejected. Because the other party was so outstanding, a proper lady of the inner chamber, whereas she, Xiao Yi Xian, was just a commoner from a small place.

"How did you come to know her? Why would the Yunlan Sect's Heaven's Proud Daughter take a liking to you?" Xiao Yi Xian scrutinized Xu Ran meticulously. Earlier she believed Xiao Yan was just an ordinary scion, and she didn't believe him when Xu Ran said he was very strong.

But now, she was somewhat convinced.

If Xu Ran could recognize her unique constitution at a glance, how could he be an ordinary person?

Is she being a little too naive?

Xiao Yi Xian gently pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes complex as they gazed at Xu Ran.

Suddenly, she felt the distance between herself and Xu Ran was vast. She was very ordinary, but Xu Ran was remarkable.

"Isn't it because I am handsome?" Xu Ran leaned close to Xiao Yi Xian, his smile slight.

"Vain." Xiao Yi Xian crinkled her cute button nose. Yet in her heart, she couldn't find fault with Xu Ran's words. Having been in Qing Shan Town for so many years, Xu Ran was indeed the most handsome man she had ever seen.

That air of casual grace and freeness was something that even she sometimes couldn't help but stare blankly at Xu Ran.

"Xu Ran, your strength must be quite formidable, right? You should be stronger than Xiao Yan," Xiao Yi Xian stated earnestly. Previously, although Xiao Yan hated Xu Ran, he dared not lay a hand on him, which indicated that Xu Ran's strength must be far greater than Xiao Yan's. Xiao Yan was already considered a prodigy with his Five-Star Douzhe Cultivation Level, so Xu Ran...
