Chapter 796: Poseissi's Shame and Anger, The Cunning Merchant Xu Ran_1

Poseissi was very tense, with her eyes closed, not daring to look at Xu Ran.

And Xu Ran took this opportunity, his palm cradling Poseissi's waist and the back of her head, pressing her lips firmly against his own.

A soft and fragrant sensation overwhelmed her…

"Uh." Poseissi's eyes widened. She had only intended to gently peck Xu Ran's cheek, but who would have thought that Xu Ran would be so shameless as to let their lips kiss each other.

Poseissi's face reddened embarrassingly as she glowered at Xu Ran, yet her body felt somewhat soft.

On Sea God's Island, as the Grand Priest, she had always been alone. Even if someone admired her, they wouldn't dare show her disrespect, so up to now, she could accurately say she had never had any physical contact with a man.

As for kissing, that was even more unheard of.

"Bastard!"

Poseissi struggled and quickly broke free from Xu Ran's hands. Angrily, she kicked him, her face as red as if on fire.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey."

Poseissi spat on the ground and vigorously wiped her lips, trying to erase all traces of Xu Ran's presence on them.

Her exaggerated actions were meant to cover up her guilt.

It was her first time experiencing the sensation of a kiss, that feeling made her helplessly enjoy it. However, she would never let Xu Ran know about these feelings. Otherwise, who knows how he would tease her next.

"Not bad. Quite fragrant, and very soft," Xu Ran said unabashedly, his tongue circling his lips.

Poseissi had taken good care of herself over the years, and if not for her voluptuous figure, he would believe her if she said she was a woman in her twenties.

"Shameless. You're so powerful, yet so shameless," said Poseissi in a cold voice, trying to appear calm.

Generally speaking, people with great power have one thing in common: they are single-minded. Those individuals focus on cultivation and do not indulge in the pleasures of women. Therefore, most powerful ones are dreary and seldom have romantic escapades.

Often, once these powerful individuals have a wife, they deeply love her.

Because those who covet lust tend to be mentally distracted, physically languid, and have too many thoughts, which makes it difficult for them to become powerful.

Xu Ran, on the other hand, was an exception. Despite his great strength, he was immensely lewd, more shameless and lustful than the hooligans in the marketplaces.

She didn't know how Xu Ran managed to cultivate such formidable strength.

Lust and strength, strangely matched.

Xu Ran truly was one of a kind.

In the world of the strong, she had never seen one so lascivious.

"This is the way of the gentleman. If everyone were like you, how would the human race continue to thrive?" Xu Ran remarked nonchalantly. Marrying many, producing many, that's contributing to this world.

"You!"

"Enough of this. Now you should tell me about Tang Chen," Poseissi snorted coldly, knowing she couldn't outtalk Xu Ran. Xu Ran was thick-skinned and indifferent while she felt quite flushed and embarrassed dwelling on these matters.

"Alright."

"After Tang Chen left Sea God's Island and parted ways with you that year, he went in search of a god's legacy that belonged to him," Xu Ran explained.

"And then?" Poseissi asked, distracted, as she recalled the promise she and Tang Chen had made back then.

Tang Chen had said that he would come for her on the day he ascended to godhood.

Regrettably, that was still too difficult.

In this world, after countless years, how many can achieve godhood?

Even as a Title Douluo of the 99th Rank, many have existed across the years, but in the end, they all died with resentment, unable to reach such a supreme realm.

"He went to Slaughter City, where the legacy of the Asura God exists. Slaughter City is a world filled with slaughter. In Slaughter City, everyone's Soul Power is restricted. There is also the Life-and-Death Arena—once you enter, of the two in conflict, only one can survive. Tang Chen arrived at the land of Slaughter, and soon, he met his first trouble..." Xu Ran explained leisurely.

He was very familiar with Slaughter City and could generally replay Tang Chen's experiences from those years.

Xu Ran employed the trick of leaving readers in suspense from his previous life as a novelist, abruptly cutting off right at a crucial plot point.

This is called creating suspense.

The purpose was to make Poseissi fret over the key scenes, anxious and impatient to unlock the next part of the story.

"What happens next?"

Poseissi's heart thumped wildly. She had lived in the Deep Sea from a young age and only had a vague understanding of the land. Discovering places like Slaughter City and the Life-and-Death Arena took her by surprise.

Such places, filled with blood and evil slaughter, sounded incredibly terrifying.

And what was the first trouble Tang Chen encountered in Slaughter City?

Poseissi's heart skipped a beat; even if the story's protagonist wasn't Tang Chen, the tale Xu Ran told was still incredibly fascinating, capturing Poseissi's full attention.

Her curiosity was thoroughly piqued, her heart hooked and itching to know more.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Poseissi urged anxiously.

Xu Ran was unaware that this deliberate withholding of information was shamefully irritating to the listener.

"That's it,"

Xu Ran said slowly. The rest was behind a paywall, and naturally, one would need to pay daily to hear more. As for how to charge, Xu Ran was still pondering. Just a kiss wouldn't do; too many would numb the feeling.

"That's it?" Poseissi paused, not understanding what Xu Ran meant.

"Your kiss has already paid for all the story that could be known by a kiss. To know the rest, you'll need to unlock it step by step," Xu Ran stated as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

He felt that he had grasped the essence of the scammy novels from his previous life.

"Xu Ran, what do you mean?" Poseissi glared at Xu Ran furiously, as if looking at a swindler.

Asshole! You're only going to tell half the story and stop there?

Xu Ran had not made it clear before; she had given up her first kiss, only to learn that in those years, Tang Chen went to a place called Slaughter City, and then... nothing...

Poseissi's pretty face showed fluctuating emotions, her chest heaving with anger.

Was her first kiss worth so little? It had merely bought her such scant information.

"Sisi, don't be angry, this is all standard practice. If you keep paying to unlock, eventually you'll know everything, including the killer of Tang Chen," Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Who's your Sisi? You're the epitome of shamelessness!"

Poseissi glared at Xu Ran furiously.

She thought that a light kiss would reveal everything to her. Otherwise, why would she kiss Xu Ran?

And now, Xu Ran was so shameless, expecting her to keep offering something for just this little bit of information.

It started with a kiss, what more would Xu Ran want later on?

Poseissi was extremely unsettled, wishing she could bite Xu Ran hard. He was really taking advantage of her.
