Chapter 143 Auntie Likes a More Dominant One_1

"Is it worth it?"

Xu Ran looked at Shui Yue'er with some pity, his palm caressing her dark green hair, his heart experiencing a tremor.

Previously, he had accepted Shui Yue'er with a carefree attitude. Compared to his serious feelings for Zhu Qing and the others, his emotions for Shui Yue'er were much lighter.

Therefore, seeing Shui Yue'er go to such lengths for him, Xu Ran felt somewhat astounded.

Even Zhu Qing and the others had never lowered themselves so much for him. Of course, he did not need Zhu Qing and the others to do such things for him either.

But Shui Yue'er, who degraded herself for his sake, moved him against his will. A heavy sense of responsibility also weighed on him.

With his discernment, he could tell that Shui Yue'er was not doing this to flatter him. For the first time, he felt a deeper compassion for this girl who dared to love and act boldly.

Now that their relationship had changed like this, he would naturally give her a proper status and would even proudly take her into his household.

"Cough."

"Cough."

Shui Yue'er, lying by the bed, coughed, taking deep breaths of fresh air, her flushed cheeks turning towards Xu Ran. Seeing the sincere affection in Xu Ran's eyes, she revealed a brilliant smile.

"Brother Ran, it's nothing serious. I can do anything for Brother Ran."

"My 'Cultivation Level' is not high, and my talent is not good either. The only things I can give Brother Ran are these..." Shui Yue'er said, her heart filled with intense inferiority. Love is humble, especially for Shui Yue'er; Xu Ran's status and position were so lofty that the gap between them was desperate.

What she could offer Xu Ran was only the tenderness of a girl's family.

"Who says Yue'er lacks talent? In the future, my Yue'er will break through to become a Titled Douluo, and she'll be a very young one at that," Xu Ran promised, his hand gently patting Shui Yue'er's back, helping her expectorate, making her feel a bit better.

"Mm," Shui Yue'er obediently nodded her head, but she did not take Xu Ran's words to heart. Although Xu Ran was very strong, he could not change her talent. With her talent, it would be great if she could break through to Soul Douluo in the future. As for becoming a Titled Douluo, she did not dare to even think about it.

And Xu Ran knew what Shui Yue'er was thinking. He wanted to comfort her, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything. Once he won over Shui Bing'er and completed the mission assigned by the system, he would obtain the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, which would naturally raise Shui Yue'er's talent.

The Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow was a treasure, something that could even affect the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor of the far northern lands. The million-year soul beast, the Skydream Ice Silkworm, managed to break through to a million years because it consumed a large quantity of Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow.

"Brother Ran, I'm going to freshen up first, I'm a bit dirty right now," Shui Yue'er said, using a handkerchief to wipe herself clean before speaking softly.

"Yue'er is always clean and pure in my eyes, never dirty."

"But, Sister is coming back soon, and I can't stay here any longer," Shui Yue'er said, moving to the edge of the bed quickly pulling on her skirt and clothes.

"Well then, don't rush to leave, I have a gift for you," Xu Ran said, taking out a silver ring from his chest. It was his original storage soul tool.

The ring was unisex, suitable for both males and females.

However, he was using Tang Hao's storage ring. Now, he was only keeping Tang Hao alive, naturally, he wouldn't leave anything else for him.

"A ring, you want to give me a ring?" Shui Yue'er stood there in astonishment, slightly at a loss for words. A deep sense of surprise filled her heart.

"This is no ordinary ring, it is a storage soul tool. Having a storage soul tool on you in the future will be convenient," said Xu Ran with a meaningful tone. He was going to stay at Tianshui College for a while longer, and it would be good for Shui Yue'er to have a storage ring to carry some of her clothes when she came to see him.

Xu Ran thought about it, eyeing Shui Yue'er's well-developed figure.

"It is still a ring," Shui Yue'er pouted, feeling slightly disappointed after learning it was a storage soul tool. Even though it was an extremely precious tool in her hand, it could not compare to Xu Ran in her heart.

"By the way, what is your relationship with Headmaster Shui Miao?" asked Xu Ran, his curiosity piqued. Of course, what Xu Ran wanted to know more about was information related to Shui Miao.

After all, Shui Miao was an extremely beautiful woman. The charm she exuded as the Headmaster of Tianshui College made her stand at the top among all the females he had seen so far.

As for how she compared to Liu Erlong, Tang Yuehua, Bi Bidong, Poseissi, he didn't know. After all, he had never met Bi Bidong and the others.

"Brother Xu Ran, you're so lecherous. Are you interested in Auntie?" Shui Yue'er giggled, realizing Brother Xu Ran was such a person, so lecherous. But Auntie really was very beautiful, far more so than them.

"Not at all! Am I that kind of person? I was just asking," Xu Ran replied.

"Auntie Shui Miao is my father's younger sister, but she has had quite a misfortune. When she was young, our family arranged a marriage for her, and even the marriage contract was signed. However, her fiancé met with an accident while hunting for a Soul Ring in the Aquipeia Forest."

"Since then, Auntie never remarried, always busying herself with the family affairs. Initially, the elders in the family would press her about it, but these years, as Auntie became the Family Head and the headmaster of the college, the family stopped bothering about her," Shui Yue'er explained earnestly.

"If Brother Xu Ran wants to pursue Auntie, you'd better hurry. Auntie likes those very strong and domineering types. Auntie is quite stubborn, but if you are a bit forceful with her, she will quickly soften," Shui Yue'er added seriously, with the look of someone intent on setting her aunt up, causing Xu Ran to laugh. In the future, this girl would probably not just set up her aunt, but her sister as well.

"Auntie's personality is as my father described, definitely a reference worth considering," Shui Yue'er winked her lovely eyes and straightened her attire before leaving to rinse her mouth. She knew that because of the marriage contract, Auntie had not remarried all these years.

In Soul Land, the traditional concept of a good woman not serving two husbands was very strong, especially among women of great families, deeply influenced by this idea.

A marriage contract was equivalent to a marital agreement. Once the marriage contract was signed, it was as if the woman was already married, merely waiting for the date agreed upon in the contract to officially wed.

This was why, after Zhu Zihao had signed the marriage contract between Zhu Zhuqing and Xu Ran, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude towards Xu Ran changed so significantly.

"So that's how it is," Xu Ran said with a smile, shaking his head. He had not expected that Shui Miao, an utmost beauty, was still a virgin.
