After seeing off Yu Xiaogang, Xu Ran didn't linger and went straight back to the hotel.
He knew that there was someone at home still waiting for his comfort.
Xiaowu's room was quaint and neatly arranged, filled with a fragrance unique to Xiaowu.
Dressed in a pink long dress that embraced her delicate figure, Xiaowu looked charming and alluring. Even though her figure had developed nicely, she always remained like the girl next door, pure and pretty.
Xiaowu was one of the first girls with whom Xu Ran had that kind of relationship, and she had always been obediently by his side.
Under Xu Ran's physical catalyst, Xiaowu's once-flat chest had developed nicely, although it couldn't compare with naturally-gifted individuals like Zhu Qing, and was somewhat inferior to Rongrong's. But her growth was already good, and among girls her age in the Soul Land, she was of a normal standard.
Even though Xu Ran preferred bigger sizes, it wasn't entirely so.
All requisites are for those you dislike. When you don't love someone, you state your preferences, but true love doesn't care about that, everything she has is reasonable, everything is perfect.
To Xu Ran, Xiaowu was just like that.
Although they were merely "small steamed buns," and her buttocks weren't as plump as Zhu Qing's, she had her own unique charm. Her slender, almost exaggerated legs were among the finest in the world, inciting exclamations of admiration.
Her delicate, arch-shaped jade feet were also perfect, and when lying on the couch, Xu Ran could play with them all day. Only Xiaowu could fully display the beauty of those crystal shoes.
Long, slender legs, hair that fell to her knees, and a slim and delicate figure. Even Zhu Qing would not dare to say that Xu Ran's doting on her exceeded that on Xiaowu.
As for why Xu Ran liked larger sizes, it was actually because they were generally not too ugly, and even if they were, there was a baseline—they wouldn't ever look like a man.
As for smaller sizes, they had their own unique beauty, although there are very few who could excavate that beauty; but once discovered, it was very memorable.
Xiaowu was such a person.
Every cell of her being, every part of her was the epitome of beauty, and when combined, they made one marvel at the craftsmanship of the heavens. Although she lacked Zhu Qing's perfect curves, she possessed a unique kind of soft beauty.
Even though Xiaowu was very strong-willed inside, outwardly, she was indeed like this.
At the moment, Xiaowu was sitting in a chair, lost in thought, supporting her face with her hand, and leaning slightly as she daydreamed. Her mind was filled with images of Xu Ran, and occasionally, scenes of her mother's fragrant passing haunted her thoughts.
That day, the skies darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Her mother stood resolutely in front of her to protect her. Bi Bidong, that woman, took away her mother's Soul Rings and soul bones, dooming her soul to unrest forever.
At that time, she was filled with hatred, wishing she could fight to the death with Bi Bidong.
But her strength was simply too weak, and with so many Titled Douluos from the Martial Soul Hall, even if she joined forces with Da Ming and Er Ming in an attack, it would have only been a vain sacrifice of their lives.
"Mom, Xiaowu has finally come to the Martial Soul Hall. I will avenge you."
"Xu Ran, will you help me?"
Xiaowu whispered these words, with mists of moisture gathering in her beautiful eyes as she remembered these events.
She would never forget why she came to the human world. She wanted to transform into a Soul Master and quickly advance her cultivation to avenge her mother.
Later, she met Xu Ran, an Auspicious Beast, who promised to help her seek revenge.
Thinking of the scene when she first met Xu Ran, Xiaowu's mood gradually brightened, and she had no regrets about coming to the human world. Since meeting Xu Ran, her world had been filled with light.
Previously, in the Aquipeia Forest, she found it boring even with her mother around, always feeling like something was missing. After meeting Xu Ran, she finally understood what life was about.
Having someone she liked and who liked her in return felt really good.
After her transformation, her initial thought was to kill Bi Bidong and then end her own life. But since meeting Xu Ran, she no longer wanted to die. She cherished every minute and every second she spent with Xu Ran.
With Xu Ran by her side, any scenery was a beautiful landscape.
From then on, she became afraid, afraid of growing old, of becoming ugly, of dying, afraid that one day Xu Ran would stop loving her.
Xu Ran slowly approached Xiaowu, taking light steps, as if fearing he might startle her.
He looked at Xiaowu, and for a moment, felt a pang of heartache. Xiaowu was so delicate and gentle; her already slender figure seemed even more fragile.
Xiaowu had come to Soul Land to kill Bi Bidong, to avenge her mother.
Now that she'd arrived at Martial Soul Hall, and had seen Bi Bidong with her own eyes, how could she not be emotionally stirred?
Xiaowu's mother was her emotional crux, and having witnessed her mother's murder firsthand, anyone would be unsettled, especially the kind-hearted Xiaowu.
Looking at Tang San, one could only see how ridiculous he was.
Tang San kept saying he loved Xiaowu, he even revived his mother Ah Yin, but he completely neglected Xiaowu's mother. Tang San knew of Xiaowu's feelings for her mother, yet he did nothing.
He didn't believe for a second that Tang San, being a supreme god, lacked the ability to do so.
Tang San kept saying Xu Ran had taken Xiaowu away from him, but did he know he was a joke himself? Making Xiaowu, along with Da Ming and Er Ming, sacrifice themselves, allowing Xiaowu to become the scabbard for his Asura God, yet not affording her any benefits.
Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificed themselves for him, yet they did not become Divine Beasts. Xu Ran guessed that if it wasn't for his wish to have his daughter experience the outside world in Soul Land, he wouldn't have even bothered reviving Da Ming and Er Ming. Yet even after their revival, they still ended up as nannies for his daughter.
Heh.
If this is called great benevolence, then Xu Ran had nothing more to say.
"Xiaowu, what are you thinking about?" Xu Ran walked over to Xiaowu, his hands gently massaging her shoulders as he embraced her from the sides. Inhaling the light fragrance coming from her, he felt very peaceful.
Although it was exciting to take someone else's wife, only his own wife could give him the feeling of home.
Every time he was together with Xiaowu and the others, he felt his heart soften. Because they were all so good, so tender and considerate. He really liked that feeling, lying in the bosom of gentleness.
"Xu Ran, when did you get here?" Xiaowu's delicate frame trembled, and upon realizing it was Xu Ran, she felt immensely sweet inside.
"I came to see my wife. Why? I can't come? I can enter my Precious Xiao Wu's room whenever I want, and just in case, to see if my Precious Xiao Wu has been up to any mischief at home," Xu Ran said with a smile.
"Where would I? I wouldn't do anything naughty," Xiaowu replied, glancing at Xu Ran without much spirit. Even with Xu Ran being so powerful, he still couldn't be serious. She was not Rongrong; she was well-behaved.
