Chapter 586 Promise, Qian Renxue Moved_1

Promises don't cost a penny, just keep flattering and it'll be fine. Plus, girls like Qian Renxue enjoy hearing it too, who doesn't like sweet nothings? Even if they can't be achieved, they're still pleasing to hear.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Ran say this, Qian Renxue was so moved that she walked over to Xu Ran's side, hugged his hand to her chest, her pretty face blushed, and her eyes were as tender as water.

"Hmph, alright then," she said.

"First, Martial Soul Hall shall remain under Xue'er's control, and you can't interfere."

"That's not a problem. I'm not particularly interested in Martial Soul Hall; it belongs to Xue'er, so it's only right that she manages it," Xu Ran said. He truly wasn't very interested in Martial Soul Hall. If Qian Renxue were to marry him and be wholeheartedly devoted to him, his status in Martial Soul Hall would be unimaginably high, even if he wasn't in charge.

"You little rascal, is our Martial Soul Hall that bad?" Seeing how readily Xu Ran agreed, Qian Dao Liu suddenly felt a odd taste in his mouth. What kind of force was Martial Soul Hall? It was an establishment standing at the pinnacle of the Continent. Martial Soul Hall had always been the pride of the Qian Family, yet it seemed worthless in Xu Ran's words, and that made him feel quite stifled.

However, thinking of Xu Ran's strength, he was at a loss for words.

As Xue'er had said, Xu Ran's strength had surpassed his own. With such formidable power at such a young age, Xu Ran's potential was undoubtedly limitless. If someone else had snubbed Martial Soul Hall, it might have been an act, but these words coming from Xu Ran's mouth left no room for argument.

This left him unsure whether to feel happy or sad.

Xu Ran was very strong and appeared to be extremely affectionate toward Xue'er. Xu Ran might be a good match for Xue'er.

He had been worried that Xue'er's future husband would sideline Martial Soul Hall through her. Martial Soul Hall belonged to the Qian Family, and outsiders were not allowed to meddle. Xu Ran's heart was vast like the sky; he looked down on Martial Soul Hall and would surely not involve himself in its affairs.

Qian Dao Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than choosing an average husband for Xue'er, it would be better for her to be with Xu Ran. With Xu Ran's help, perhaps Martial Soul Hall would not only avoid decline but also thrive anew.

"Since you've said so much, I believe your pride will ensure you fulfill your words. Now I'll state my second requirement," Qian Dao Liu glanced over Xu Ran, a cunning light flickering in his pale eyes.

"I want you to help Xue'er ascend to godhood. If you cannot do this, I will not permit you to be with her," Qian Dao Liu said slyly. He had exhausted much effort for Xue'er's ascension, but even so, he could not guarantee she would definitely become a god. In fact, no one was confident they could become a god with certainty.

Now that Qian Renxue and Xu Ran were in love, it was sure to distract her, lowering the chances of her ascension. Since this was the case, Xu Ran would have to resolve the troubles he had caused.

Hmph, his granddaughter's vital yin had been damaged because of him; if he didn't get any compensation, he wouldn't stand for it.

Of course, the most important thing was that he knew with Xu Ran's talent, as long as he didn't mess up, becoming a god was inevitable. Xu Ran assisting Xue'er to ascend to godhood was certainly much better than him doing it.

"Grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about? Ascending to godhood is not so simple. Nobody is completely sure they can become a god. Grandfather, you're deliberately making things difficult," Qian Renxue complained with a pout before Xu Ran could even speak.

Even though her talent is already extremely high, she doesn't have absolute confidence in becoming a god.

Godhood is something they look up to, and in the tens of thousands of years in Soul Land, only a very few have ascended to godhood. Even with her high talent, it's not certain that she'll become a god so easily.

"What do you know, girl? Xu Ran has taken your body and also muddled your heart. With my help, you had an eighty percent chance of becoming a god, but now I estimate it's not even thirty percent, all because of that scoundrel Xu Ran," Qian Dao Liu blew his beard and glared at Qian Renxue. Was his granddaughter foolish? Xu Ran has such high strength and unlimited potential. If she doesn't get more promises from him, wouldn't that be a loss?

Moreover, if Xue'er becomes a god and Xu Ran's other women do not, then the only one who will stay with Xu Ran until the end will be her.

Looking at it this way, it's simply perfect.

Xue'er and Xu Ran as an immortal couple, Xu Ran's fickle flaws could also be resolved. This is simply perfect.

"Oh."

Qian Renxue looked down at her beautiful legs while waiting for Xu Ran's answer. Her heart was filled with anticipation, not for becoming a god, but to see how much Xu Ran cared about her.

Also, becoming a god was one of her cultivation goals. Only by becoming a god could she stay with Xu Ran for a long time. When Xu Ran ascended to godhood in the future, if she couldn't, would she have to stay in Soul Land and helplessly watch Xu Ran go to the Divine Realm?

Then she could only miss Xu Ran day and night in the Divine Realm. During the nights, she might have to create a doll of Xu Ran to alleviate her loneliness. And if she couldn't become a god, her appearance would quickly age and she would become old and faded. If decades later, Xu Ran still looked young while she was full of wrinkles and white hair, or even if her hair had all fallen out.

She couldn't bear to think of such a scene. It was simply a nightmare to her.

She would rather die than let Xu Ran see her grow old and ugly. She only wanted to show him her most perfect self.

"Don't think nonsense, no matter when, you are always the most important to me in my heart. If there really comes a day when you are in a hurry to grow white hair, then I will grow old with you," Xu Ran, with his keen mind, instantly saw through Qian Renxue's thoughts. Her worries were also those of Xiao Wu Zhu Qing and the others. Even though he had already planned everything for them and was determined to take them to the Divine Realm in the future, their hearts were still full of uncertainty.

This feeling of uncertainty had begun to spread in their hearts since his strength became very strong.

Xu Ran was very strong, and any woman would have these fears of loss. Although Xu Ran had long promised them godhood, they still saw it as an impossible dream.

Xu Ran tightly held Qian Renxue's hand, fingers interlocked, giving her a sense of security.

"Mmm." Looking at Xu Ran's affectionate gaze, listening to Xu Ran's vows, Qian Renxue was instantly moved, wishing she could kiss his face immediately. Even though Xu Ran had said similar sweet nothings to her many times before, each time she heard them, she was very happy and touched.

Watching Xu Ran and Qian Renxue hand in hand, Qian Dao Liu finally let go of his last worries. He could see that Xu Ran was a person of deep affection and loyalty. Abandoning his wife was something Xu Ran most likely couldn't do. Besides, his granddaughter Xue'er was not just any wife, she was a lady from a reputable family.
