Chapter 138 Headmaster Shui Miao, There is No Such Thing as a Free Lunch_1

"Lord Xu Ran, the President of Tianshui College and Patriarch of the Shui Family, Headmaster Shui Miao, has come to visit."

Outside a small building surrounded by a bamboo grove, a bewitching woman dressed in a black cheongsam revealed her voluptuous and ripe figure to exquisite detail.

A gentle breeze lifted the hem of the cheongsam, exposing long, shapely legs. The slim waistline and full figure, together with the high heels, accentuated the seductive curves of a mature woman.

An enchantress, she absolutely was an enchantress!

All the students of Tianshui College were beauties, so it was natural for the President to be no less attractive. Though Headmaster Shui Miao was in her mid-thirties to forties, not a single trace of aging had touched her face. Instead, it added a unique, rich allure to her beauty.

Shui Miao had quite a voluptuous figure, more sensuous compared to girls like Shui Bing'er. This fleshiness did not make her appear overweight; rather, it gave her the irresistible charm of a ripe, mature woman.

Xu Ran opened the door, and upon seeing Shui Miao, he too found himself momentarily distracted.

After all, the women around him, whether it were Zhu Qing, Xiaowu, or Rongrong, were stunning even if somewhat green.

Since coming to Soul Land, this was the first time Xu Ran had encountered a woman with such flavor as Headmaster Shui Miao.

"Lord Xu Ran?" Shui Miao bowed slightly, sensing Xu Ran's unabashed gaze, and couldn't help but lower her head.

"Oh, Headmaster Shui Miao, let's go inside and talk." Xu Ran smiled, leading Shui Miao into the room. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Shui Miao's full bosom and hips. Headmaster Shui Miao really did have a great figure; even in middle age, there was not an ounce of her body out of shape. Instead, she resembled a ripe peach, making one eager to take a bite.

No wonder Brother Cao had a taste for her, indeed a refined palate.

This elegance could not be matched by any young girl.

Headmaster Shui Miao's beauty must be on par with Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua's, after all, being the President of Tianshui College she naturally couldn't be lacking. It's just that in the original story, she was a mere passerby character with little description.

In Soul Land, characters like Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua, Bi Bidong, and Liu Erlong were of this style. However, at the moment, he had no chance to pursue them.

After all, it would take Ah Yin much too long to recuperate and transform, and he hadn't found the time to approach anyone else yet.

But Shui Miao wasn't bad either, to satisfy a temporary thirst.

"This time, Headmaster Shui Miao and your students saved my life, I, Xu Ran, will remember this favor. If the Headmaster ever faces any difficulties, feel free to seek me out at any time," Xu Ran said after a moment's thought, speaking frankly.

Shui Miao brought him back to Tianshui College and treated him well, essentially because she saw him as an extraordinary expert, hoping that he would be obliged to favor her, and in times of need, assist the Tianshui College or the Shui Family.

"Lord Xu Ran is too polite. It's all our duty. Besides, with your unmatched strength, even without our assistance at Tianshui College, nothing would threaten you," Shui Miao spoke with some flattery, surprised at Xu Ran's forthcoming nature. Without her asking anything, Lord Xu Ran had already acknowledged the favor.

However, there was something odd about Lord Xu Ran's gaze.

Shui Miao blushed slightly; she was no young girl like Bing'er. As the head of a family and a college, she was experienced and well-versed. She could tell where Xu Ran's eyes were fixed.

"Headmaster Shui Miao is really stunning, and even younger than I imagined. I thought the heads of the five colleges would be quite old," Xu Ran commented, as his hand involuntarily rested on Shui Miao's waist.

Shui Miao's waist was quite fleshy, eliciting an unusual sensation in Xu Ran.

"Our presidents at Tianshui College have always been younger than those at other colleges by a generation or two. Our strength is also slightly weaker. My current 'Cultivation Level' is merely that of a Soul Emperor, while the heads of other colleges are all at Soul Douluo 'Cultivation Level'," said Shui Miao, blushing more as Xu Ran pulled her closer. Her feminine modesty made her want to escape his clutches.

Yet the responsibility entrusted to her by the Shui Family and Tianshui College told her she must not offend Xu Ran, or else it would bring disaster not just to her but to the Shui Family and Tianshui College as well.

She began to twist her body slightly, unsure of what to do, unaware of the immense allure her serpentine waist movements projected.

As she was already dressed in a cheongsam, the swaying motion emitted a mature charm that could captivate countless gazes.

"You must have something important to discuss on your visit, Headmaster Shui Miao. Why don't you tell me?" Xu Ran said, his palm kneading Shui Miao's waist more forcefully, deepening the red in her cheeks.

She hadn't expected such a powerful figure to be so lecherous.

Even though she was in her mid-thirties to forties, in reality, there was little difference between her and young girls like Bing'er. She had been betrothed in her youth, but before the marriage could take place, her fiancé died in an accident in the Aquipeia Forest.

Because of the betrothal, she had never remarried and instead poured all her energy into the family and college.

This was why she managed to become the President of Tianshui College and the Patriarch of the Shui Family at such a young age.

"Lord Xu Ran, I've come to ask if you would be a guest Elder of our Shui Family and a distinguished professor at Tianshui College. Of course, I mean for Lord Xu Ran to be in name only; if you're too busy, there's no need to waste much time with us."

"We would only require your help in times of trouble. Naturally, we would provide Lord Xu Ran with generous compensation," Shui Miao said with some trepidation.

As the words left her mouth, she regretted asking too much.

They had simply saved Lord Xu Ran and brought him to the college, not truly a rescue, as they hadn't really done anything for him. Was it too presumptuous to ask for so much now?

Shui Miao was frustrated, as beguiling a powerful person to be associated with the college was so critical. Even having a strong figurehead could attract countless people to Tianshui College.

"I agree."

"However, Headmaster Shui Miao should understand something. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world," Xu Ran said with a faint smile, suddenly pulling Shui Miao's waist towards him and laying her down on the table in front of him.
