"Of course, when we take a look at Xu Ran later, he's going to be out of luck," Brock said with a sinister smile. He was full of confidence. Although his academic achievements weren't particularly high in other areas, he had quite a high level of expertise when it came to scheming, pfft... in researching this kind of powder.

"Haha, as expected of Grandmaster, I really want to see how Xu Ran will make a fool of himself, surrounded by so many soul beasts, he won't be able to escape even if he had wings," Titan said loudly, clearly very pleased at the thought of Xu Ran facing trouble.

"Xu Ran is very powerful. It's probably impossible to kill him this way, but to make him suffer is still very satisfying," Tang San said, looking forward to it immensely.

Xu Ran is so arrogant? Now isn't he caught in their scheme?

At this moment, Tang San and Brock had no idea about Xu Ran's status in Aquipeia Forest. It could be said that Xu Ran's status in the Aquipeia Forest was now even higher than Gu Yuena's.

...

"To think they could scheme against me? Naive." Xu Ran walked away and stopped not too far off, speaking dismissively. With his strength, could he not see through to Brock's little tricks?

And with the System sidekick beside him, they thought they could scheme against him? Dream on.

"Host brother, that stuff Brock just sprinkled on you, it can stimulate the senses of soul beasts, especially female ones, making them addicted to you," the System sidekick said, her heart beating wildly, and she couldn't help being attracted by Xu Ran's charisma at the moment.

"This... Brock can even research such things?" Xu Ran was puzzled. He had thought Brock was nothing but a worthless guy who was completely ignorant, but it turned out he had some substance after all.

Under a famous name, there is no worthless man. Although Brock is shameless, overrated, and absolutely not in line with the 'grandmaster' label, he does have some substance. Liu Erlong, Bi Bidong, Tang San had all been tricked by him to become tools for achieving his life goals, demonstrating that Brock is not a complete waste.

"Soul beasts and humans have different physiques. Just like cats can't resist catnip and bulls go crazy for moving objects... Human Soul Masters entering Aquipeia Forest for safety bring some spices and stuff to drive away soul beasts... And what Brock sprinkled on you, Host brother, is something that attracts soul beasts. Now, Host brother's charm is very strong, if you go to see Gu Yuena now, she would definitely fall for you," the System sidekick said, her voice soft and tender, making Xu Ran feel something was off.

Even the System sidekick has fallen for him?

Xu Ran is indeed awesome.

"It's better not to provoke Gu Yuena like that. The more aloof the woman, the more I want her to come to me on her own. That's the way to truly make her submit and to love me sincerely and wholeheartedly," Xu Ran shook his head. These were all schemes; a slight mistake could leave a dent in future relationships.

For proud, self-important women, if you proactively fawn over them, they'll grow more and more arrogant, and in the end, you'll be the miserable one. But for those down-to-earth treasure girls, you can hold them in the palm of your hand and have a sweet romance.

"Host brother, you have so many schemes. How do you plan to scheme against me then?" the System sidekick frowned unhappily. Deserving of the title Host brother, truly despicable, with so many schemes, capturing the hearts of girls so tightly.

"System sidekick is so nice, the closest person to me in this world, and even provides me with cheats, I will only use my sincere heart to seriously date you, why would I use any other strategy?"

"No scheme can compare to a true heart."

"Hmmph, you'd better mean it, or I'll create troubles for you in the future," the System sidekick pouted, her face beaming with happiness. Although she knew that what Xu Ran said was sweet nothings, she had absolutely no resistance to such a scoundrel brother.

Host brother is just too handsome!

She had absolutely no resistance to a scoundrel yet handsome Host brother.

"What I say, I do," Xu Ran said seriously, nodding, his gaze fixed ahead.

As expected, after a little while, Xu Ran could already feel many soul beasts heading towards his location. That Yu Xiaogang was really cruel, having him emit a scent that could attract countless soul beasts. If he were an ordinary person, he would have truly been played by the ruthless Yu Xiaogang.

Hiss!

Could it be that in his younger days, Yu Xiaogang researched a kind of drug that could enhance his own attractiveness, which made both Bi Bidong and Liu Erlong develop some fondness for him?

It wasn't impossible. Otherwise, how could Yu Xiaogang have caught the attention of Bi Bidong in the talent-filled Martial Soul Hall?

"Heh, this has been an unexpected discovery. So that's how it is," Xu Ran mumbled to himself.

At this moment, a large number of flying soul beasts were circling above Xu Ran, and there were also many land soul beasts whose running shook the ground, giving the impression that a beast tide had occurred. However, the commotion was smaller and there weren't as many soul beasts as in a beast tide.

But this is the inner area of the Aquipeia Forest, where there are plenty of powerful soul beasts.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter, Xu Ran is out of options now, is he not?"

"Even the Joyous Monkeys have come, Xu Ran is going to be badly played this time. If something really happens to Xu Ran, we could later record how Xu Ran was toyed with and show it to his beloved confidantes. Whether they will feel distressed or something else when they see Xu Ran in that state, who knows?" Tang San and his two companions hid under a large tree, and seeing countless soul beasts attracted by the aura emanating from Xu Ran, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This is too hilarious!

Even if Xu Ran is a top-tier expert, facing so many densely packed soul beasts, he would probably have to admit defeat.

"After these soul beasts leave, we will take back the Eight-Spider Spear from Xu Ran's hands. Hmph, Xu Ran, you're dead!" Tang San said coldly, secretly watching Xu Ran and flashing a broad smile.

"If we're lucky today, it would be great if Xu Ran died here. So many Joyous Monkeys are enough to give Xu Ran a hard time. Xu Ran still dreams of laying hands on my darling Dong'er, wishful thinking." The Joyous Monkeys, due to their nasty disposition, often kill soul masters who hunt them for Soul Rings. Because of this, such soul beasts are almost completely eradicated by strong individuals.

But unexpectedly, this place still harbored such soul beasts.

Xu Ran's luck was just too bad, encountering such a fearsome, nearly extinct soul beast. The Joyous Monkeys might not be particularly powerful soul beasts, but they are the kind that numerous soul masters dread encountering the most.

Because these soul beasts are truly terrifying!

As numerous soul beasts ran towards Xu Ran and felt his aura, they were completely dumbfounded, trembling in fear. The emperor-like dominance of a soul beast that Xu Ran emitted made them shiver and they didn't dare to come any closer.

The hierarchy within the Soul Beast Race is strict, and Auspicious Beasts are definitely the most terrifying top-tier soul beasts, not to mention that Xu Ran also possessed a top-tier bloodline even more dreadful than that of an Auspicious Beast.

"You all may go back," Xu Ran spoke up, his voice carrying a terrible will that instantly made all the soul beasts so frightened that they turned and ran as fast as they could, desperately trying to escape.

"Joyous Monkey tribe, you stay." Xu Ran instructed. It would just be too tragic to use so many soul beasts from the Aquipeia Forest to deal with Yu Xiaogang and his team.

But the Joyous Monkeys alone would be enough for them to pay a heavy price.
