Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Scoundrel!"

Xu Ran stepped lightly and easily arrived inside the cave. Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly wriggled out of Xu Ran's embrace, fiercely glaring at him.

Xu Ran was getting more and more outrageous, now even speaking those things to her. Although she liked Xu Ran, she couldn't just...

However, in the next moment, Xiao Yi Xian, who had just freed herself from Xu Ran's arms, threw herself back into his embrace; her arms wrapped around his neck, clinging tightly to him like an octopus.

"A snake. There's a snake." Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit embarrassed but also scared. Most girls would be frightened of those things, let alone a Magical Beast.

"It's just a little snake."

A Rock Snake, as the name implies, is a type of Serpentine Demon Beast that lives within rocky crevices with a strength around the First Order. Leveraging its long, flat, wing-like body, it could glide through the air like a hawk, and because it possessed a variant stone attribute, its body was as tough as rock, making it difficult for ordinary swords to cause it any significant damage.

But with such a delicate beauty hugging him so affectionately, he was actually a bit grateful for the little snake.

"Then why aren't you getting rid of it?" Xiao Yi Xian fiercely glared at Xu Ran. She noticed his hand resting on her buttocks and felt immensely embarrassed.

"Oh."

Xu Ran looked at the little snake somewhat sympathetically and, with a casual wave of his hand, cut the snake in half - dead beyond dead.

This was the first time Xiao Yi Xian had seen Xu Ran take action, and she was instantly shocked.

A First Order Magical Beast possessed the same strength as a human Fighter.

Yet Xu Ran killed a First Order Magical Beast as if he was chopping vegetables, which was just too exaggerated!

Even though she had mentally prepared herself for Xu Ran's strength, she was still shocked.

This guy, Xu Ran, had never taken action before, and she didn't really understand him. But now... it seemed like none of the people she had seen over the years in Qing Shan Town could compare to Xu Ran.

At the very least, she had never seen a mercenary deal with a Magical Beast so effortlessly.

With such strength, if he went into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to hunt, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money? But a person like him probably didn't need to earn money in such a way... Xiao Yi Xian's mind wandered with random thoughts.

"Hmph. Aren't you going to put me down!" Xiao Yi Xian said huffily.

For some reason, seeing Xu Ran always made her a little angry.

"What's the matter, why are you so hot-headed?" Xu Ran was a bit helpless – girls are so fickle.

"You're so strong, why did you hide that from me?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xu Ran with indignation. When they had entered the Magical Beast Forest, she was worried Xu Ran might get hurt due to inexperience, even letting him walk behind her,

Thinking about it now made her face turn red with embarrassment.

With Xu Ran's strength, even the strongest member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps probably couldn't compare. Could such a man possibly be in danger anywhere in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, except maybe deep inside?

"Didn't I tell you already? I said it when I first met you. You just didn't believe me." Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders. He felt wronged. He had never lied to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Hmph. You did trick me. Don't talk back."

Xiao Yi Xian raised her soft, tiny fists, wrinkled her cute little nose, and said prettily. She also realized that Xu Ran did explain everything at the beginning; it was just that she hadn't taken it to heart. However, at this point, she was not about to back down and admit defeat to Xu Ran.

"Alright, alright. Whatever my Little Fairy says is right, it's all my fault." Xu Ran hastened to placate her.

"That's more like it," Xiao Yi Xian stuck out her little tongue. Seeing how gentle Xu Ran was, her heart felt warm and sunny. How could she possibly be angry with someone as outstanding as Xu Ran? She just felt that Xu Ran was too outstanding, too much so that she increasingly felt unworthy of him.

"Could it be... that your identity as an Alchemist is also real?"

Xiao Yi Xian suddenly asked, pursing her red lips, thinking about what Xu Ran had said before.

As a healer, becoming an Alchemist had always been her dream. However, her attribute dictated that she could never be an Alchemist. With her Poison attribute, it seemed impossible to have any relation to Alchemists.

Yet Xu Ran was a noble Alchemist...

"What do you think? I've said that I can cure your body. With me around, I won't let your Calamity Poison Body erupt," Xu Ran said with a decisive look in his eyes.

With him by her side, the Calamity Poison Body would only bring more benefits to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Really?"

"But why are you being so good to me?"

Xiao Yi Xian felt touched, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Listening to Xu Ran's words, which sounded almost like a vow, Xiao Yi Xian felt like her heart was about to melt.

Even if Xu Ran couldn't fulfill this promise in the end, just having his intentions was enough to satisfy her.

"Because I want you to be mine."

Xu Ran lifted Xiao Yi Xian's snow-white chin, examining her delicate features. Xiao Yi Xian's appearance was not as exquisite as Xun Er's, but her pure and ethereal aura was quite enchanting. Xun Er was good too, but she was too clever, often guessing his thoughts. Xiao Yi Xian, on the other hand, was much simpler. Women, after all, are better off a bit foolish, he didn't lack a capable wife right now.

"You..."

"We still have treasure to hunt. We can't delay any longer, otherwise, the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps will catch on to our departure, and that would be bad. If they come looking for us, we might not be able to deal with them."

"Those mercenaries are very envious of these secret treasures. Don't be fooled by their current respect for me; if they knew there were treasures here, they would even kill for them," Xiao Yi Xian said in a panic as she hopped off Xu Ran and ran toward the inside of the cave.

Her heart was in turmoil; she didn't know how to face Xu Ran.

This was her first time in such a situation, and she was at a loss.

There were many who pursued her back in Qing Shan Town, but she didn't feel the same about those people.

"You probably say that to all the others," Xiao Yi Xian said while running, suddenly turning back, looking at Xu Ran huffily. The thought of other women by Xu Ran's side made her angry.

"Ugh." Xu Ran touched his nose, why couldn't he get over this hurdle?

Damn Xiao Yan, that old dog!

What a pain!

With a thought from Xu Ran, the screams of Xiao Yan in the distance became even more intense. Oh... exciting... cough cough...

"Hmph. I knew it," Xiao Yi Xian stamped her foot and then ran even faster toward the inside.

"Hey. Slow down. Watch out for snakes, rats, and the like..." Xu Ran said leisurely, quickly catching up.

Xiao Yi Xian was a bit angry, but the cave was so dark that it frightened her; she could only silently wait for Xu Ran to catch up to her.
