Chapter 93 Xiaowu Throws Herself into His Arms, Harem Plus One_1

After Flander left, the other Shrek Academy teachers and students on the playground who had awakened from their State of Enlightenment remained quiet, their eyes turning to the content on the wall. The twenty-four characters, each vigorous and powerful, written with a stroke as if a dragon or snake was dancing through them, embodied an attitude of carefree unconstraint.

It's said that you can know a person through their handwriting. Just from these characters alone, they could discern what kind of person Xu Ran was.

However, after experiencing it once, when they looked back at the verse, they could no longer gain any benefits for their Cultivation. Clearly, everyone only had one opportunity to experience this State of Enlightenment.

"Brother Ran is just too awesome. I actually felt as if my Martial Soul had evolved in some way. I also gained a deeper understanding of controlling Fire," Ma Hongjun whispered. He couldn't help feeling somewhat relieved. He was glad that he hadn't chosen to oppose Xu Ran. Otherwise, how could he benefit from such a good opportunity?

It was only the beginning, and just a few casual words from Xu Ran had brought them so many benefits. Wouldn't there be more to come in the future?

"Yeah, Brother Ran is so amazing," Oscar agreed. Under the recent bout of enlightenment, he gained a profound understanding of his sausage Martial Soul, with his "Cultivation Level" making significant breakthroughs, getting close to the rank of a Soul Elder.

Now full of admiration for Xu Ran, Oscar had decided to take Xu Ran as his role model from then on. To be a loyal follower, latching onto the coattails of the powerful and sharing the spoils, was that not delightful?

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiaowu's State of Enlightenment lasted a bit longer than that of the others, as Xu Ran's skill seemed to benefit those in his "Harem" and his favored ladies much more than others.

When Zhu Zhuqing woke up, her "Cultivation Level" had reached the Level 27 Peak, and she was merely a step away from level 28. In addition, her perception of her Wuhun Youming Lingmao (Spectral Ghostly Cat) had deepened.

Although Xiaowu's increase in strength was not significant, some of the problems she faced in recultivating her soul beast were resolved in this State of Enlightenment. Clearly, this was even more important than a simple boost in power.

In truth, if Xu Ran were to play his zither, every Shrek Academy student and teacher below the rank of a Soul Sage could easily gain a full level, while Flander and others would also benefit greatly. However, for geniuses, a single level increase didn't have much significance; insights into cultivation were far more precious.

After the State of Enlightenment, it was nearly impossible for them to encounter any cultivation bottlenecks within one or two years, which was of course more important than mere advancement in "Cultivation Level". Of course, what one could comprehend also depended on their insight. Those with poor insight might not gain any benefits at all.

But the students of Shrek Academy were all Heaven's Proud Sons and Daughters, naturally blessed with excellent insight.

"Wow, Zhu Qing, you've increased by two levels. You're almost at level 28," Xiaowu's pupils flashed a red light that nobody else noticed.

"It's the same for everyone. You also gained quite a bit, didn't you?" Zhu Zhuqing replied with a pursed-lip smile. Although she didn't observe any changes in Xiaowu's "Cultivation Level", she could sense that Xiaowu was somewhat different than before, clearly having gained a lot from the experience.

"Mhm," Xiaowu nodded, linking her arm with Zhu Zhuqing's. Suddenly, she remembered something. Previously, she had promised Xu Ran that tonight...

"You should go back first. There's something you need to do tonight," Zhu Zhuqing said meaningfully while sizing up Xiaowu's figure.

Tomorrow, she would have to ask Xu Ran who he liked even just a little bit more.

After all, Xu Ran had his experiences, and she wanted to hear what he had to say. If it didn't satisfy her, well, he could just wait and see what would happen.

Xu Ran had no idea that Zhu Qing was already preparing to ask him a life-or-death question. However, when it came to handling such inquiries, Xu Ran was not without resourcefulness, typically giving a hedge answer to muddle through.

"Zhu Qing, don't spout nonsense," Xiaowu glanced around and then said in a low voice. But after saying so, she greeted the teachers on the field and left with a heavy heart.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiaowu headed straight into the bathroom to bathe.

Intending to give herself to the one she loved, Xiaowu was naturally very careful; she did not want to leave any impression that could be deemed bad in Xu Ran's eyes. Moreover, she felt a bit competitive. Although she and Zhu Qing were close sisters, she did not want to be outdone by her. She would present the most perfect side of herself to Xu Ran.

After repeatedly checking to ensure that there was not a single stain on her, Xiaowu slipped into a pink embroidered midi dress that just touched her knees, coupled with a pair of white over-the-knee socks.

Standing in front of the large floor mirror near the bathroom door, Xiaowu took a long time to survey herself. Looking at the scorpion braid that held her long hair together, she did not hesitate; her nimble fingers skillfully unraveled her braid, allowing her waterfall-like hair to cascade down instantly, spilling behind her head. Xiaowu's hair was very long, easily reaching down to her calves.

At this moment, Xiaowu was radiantly beautiful; with her long hair flowing free, she lost a bit of her playfulness and gained a soft, alluring beauty.

"Brother Xu Ran...," Xiaowu's mind conjured up Xu Ran's image, her pretty face blushing slightly, with a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

She remembered her mother saying that only when she met a person worthy of her wholehearted love, should she reveal her most beautiful side to him.

And now, she had clearly met such a person.

Xu Ran, the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, even her mother would be happy to know that her beloved was an Auspicious Beast.

When Xiaowu knocked on the door of Xu Ran's dormitory, he was stunned the moment he saw Xiaowu standing before him.

Because the Xiaowu before him was immaculate, almost too perfect. He now realized why Xiaowu, Qian Renxue, and Bi Bidong were considered the most exceptional beings in Shrek.

Indeed, she was so beautiful; given a few more years for the trace of youthful greenness to fade from her face, her beauty would become even more perfect.

"Brother Xu Ran, what are you looking at?" Xiaowu said, noticing Xu Ran's intensely warm gaze and shyly lowering her head. She felt a bit apprehensive about the imminent events, but at the same time, there was a surge of joy in her heart. Being acknowledged by her beloved, and seeing Xu Ran's almost crazed look, how could she not be happy?

"Xiaowu, you are so beautiful," Xu Ran could not restrain himself, stepping forward and kissing Xiaowu fervently.

And Xiaowu closed her eyes, allowing Xu Ran to do as he wished.

Tonight, she belonged to him alone.

Xiaowu would agree to whatever Xu Ran wanted to do.

Of course, this was before Xiaowu knew of Xu Ran's brutality; otherwise, she would have only regretted her decision.

"Click." Xu Ran kicked the door shut with his foot and locked it, then he scooped Xiaowu up by her waist and threw her onto the bed. At that moment, Xu Ran also transformed into a starving wolf.
