Chapter 139 Elder, Special Guest Teacher_1

"Bang." With a rather loud noise echoing in the room, Shui Miao was directly pushed onto the table by Xu Ran, her aqua blue hair cascading over the surface, making her already beautiful face even more charming.

Xu Ran's hands pressed down on Shui Miao's fragrant shoulders, his fingers gliding over the skin there, feeling the silky smoothness of her flesh.

"Lord Xu Ran, please don't..."

Shui Miao's heart pounded wildly. She hadn't expected Xu Ran to be so unrestrained, to actually lay hands on her like this.

But then she thought, what kind of woman couldn't a powerful man like Xu Ran have? With just a gesture, a swarm of women would eagerly flock to him and willingly lie in his bed.

To him, such behavior towards a woman must be nothing out of the ordinary.

But she couldn't. Even though she greatly respected a powerful man like Xu Ran, she couldn't just give herself away. She was the Patriarch of the Shui Family, the President of Tianshui College; how could she just casually end up in someone else's bed?

Wouldn't that become a laughingstock?

Even if she wanted the support of a strong man like Xu Ran, she couldn't offer herself so rashly for that cause.

"President Shui Miao, I have offended you."

"The president is just too beautiful, I lost control for a moment." Xu Ran immediately let go of Shui Miao, but his palm lingered, squeezing her full and firm buttocks, savoring the feel.

Xu Ran couldn't help but curse himself inwardly.

Perhaps it was because this was the first time he had encountered a mature woman like Shui Miao on the Soul Land Continent that he had lost control, tempted to push her down then and there.

Such behavior was utterly shameless.

Even Xu Ran couldn't help but despise himself a little.

"It's alright." Shui Miao breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at Xu Ran, her heart still fluttering with unease. She wasn't clear on what Xu Ran was thinking now.

Was it because of her resistance that he harbored dissatisfaction toward her?

Shui Miao was conflicted. She didn't want to lose her virginity like this, but at the same time, she didn't want to offend a powerful man like Xu Ran.

She had determined that Xu Ran might be one of the pinnacle existences on the continent, judging by what she had seen the other day, Xu Ran's strength might be on par with Grand Priest Qian Dao Liu of the Martial Soul Hall, a level 99 Titled Douluo.

Such a being could shake the entire continent with a stomp, how could she dare to offend him easily?

Shui Miao's heart was a jumble of emotions, filled with regret. If she had just agreed to Xu Ran earlier, then perhaps they would have been on the table by now...

Shui Miao gulped down the saliva accumulating in her mouth, her delicate body trembling slightly. Even though she was no longer young, she had not yet experienced it. Would it be... on the table?

Shui Miao's mind wandered chaotically, full of worries.

It was at this moment that Xu Ran's words dispelled her concerns.

"I have accepted the positions of Elder of the Shui Family and special invited teacher of Tianshui College," Xu Ran said, a wise man bides his time for the right moment. There's plenty of time ahead.

Moreover, he should start understanding the situation before making judgments. Shui Miao, being a mature woman, might already have a husband. If that were the case, wouldn't it be somewhat inappropriate for him to flirt with her?

Yet Shui Miao did not seem like someone who had a husband. Even though he had not known her for long, he could see Shui Miao's character. If Shui Miao were married, she definitely would not dress so provocatively.

However, it was better to be clear about such matters.

Anyways, as the Elder of the Shui Family and a special invited teacher at Tianshui College, he would not lack opportunities to interact with Shui Miao in the future. If an opportunity arose, he would naturally add to his "Harem".

But he had just asked the System Miss, and if he were to take Shui Miao into his "Harem", there would be no Skill Points reward.

Although Shui Miao was beautiful, she was already in her thirties or forties. For someone her age to break through to Soul Emperor on the Soul Land was considered talented, but she did not meet the System's criteria.

He and System Miss had once explored this issue. Only those with the qualifications of a Titled Douluo and who were Goddess Level rated by the System could be awarded Skill Points. Of course, such qualifications meant one had the potential to break through to Titled Douluo without external assistance.

For Shui Miao, breaking through to Soul Emperor at her age meant she had a chance to become a Soul Douluo in the future, but breaking through to Titled Douluo without outside help was practically impossible.

At Tianshui College, only Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu possessed such qualifications. Even Shui Yue'er did not make the cut.

Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul was the Ice Phoenix; her innate talent needless to say.

Xue Wu's potential was not much less than Shui Bing'er's, possessing a Snow attribute auxiliary Martial Soul, and she could also perform a Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er. With her talent, she too had a chance to break through to Titled Douluo in the future.

"You agreed?" Shui Miao lifted her head excitedly, thinking that because she had just failed to satisfy Xu Ran, she might have angered this supreme Lord. She had not expected him not only to not be angry but also to agree to her request directly.

"What else?" Xu Ran said, his gaze surveying Shui Miao's voluptuous figure, "Would President Shui Miao prefer to spend a delightful night with me?" If Shui Miao agreed, he naturally would not care. After all, he was no saint. Now that he was in Soul Land, what he pursued was a life of freedom, unconstrained by any other matters.

To do whatever he wanted. To be with whomever he desired... That was the life Xu Ran pursued.

"Lord Xu Ran jests, how could I be worthy of you?" Shui Miao gave an awkward smile, her full figure trembling slightly, not daring to delve further into the topic.

A man and a woman alone together, such topics could easily lead to an unexpected turn of events.

Moreover, she had already refused Xu Ran once before, and if Lord Xu Ran were to approach her like that again, she would not dare refuse a second time. The first refusal was to give her face; a second refusal would show her lack of tact.

So she dared not provoke Xu Ran's ire again.

"There is no question of being worthy or unworthy."

"Lord Xu Ran, since that's the case, here are the Tokens of the Shui Family and Tianshui College." Shui Miao took out two tokens from her bosom, one light blue token engraved with the Ice Phoenix motif on the front and the character for water on the back. This was the token of the Elder of the Shui Family.

The other was a radiant gold token, embossed with the characters for Clear Sky. Tianshui College's teacher tokens had four tiers: Iron Token, Copper Token, Silver Token, and Gold Token.

The Gold Token was something only the successive Presidents of Tianshui College possessed. No matter how excellent the other teachers were, they could at most obtain a Silver Token. Yet now, Xu Ran held a gold token, just like Shui Miao's, showing the high regard Shui Miao had for him.

Xu Ran casually inspected the two tokens, then immediately stored them in his storage soul tool.
