Chapter 231: Xu Ran's Demonic Claw Reaches for the Skydream Ice Silkworm..._1

```

A night passed quietly.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Xu Ran got up.

To his surprise, Zi Ji had brought him three thousand skill points!

So many skill points were beyond Xu Ran's expectation.

Originally, he thought that if Zi Ji could bring him two thousand skill points, it would be reaching for the stars, and even one thousand would be acceptable. But he never imagined there would be this many.

But on second thought, it made sense.

It took the Soul Beast Clan tens of thousands of years to produce the Top Ten Ferocious Soul Beasts.

Ferocious beasts as powerful as Zi Ji, one might not emerge in ten thousand years, truly terrifying. Plus, considering Zi Ji's current fearsome strength has reached the continent's top level, three thousand skill points seemed reasonable.

However, now that he had three thousand skill points from Zi Ji, plus a successful healing for Gu Yuena, he would have a total of more than eight thousand skill points. Later, Rongrong could bring him a few thousand skill points as a reward, which would be at least two thousand by his estimate.

In that case, he would have a total of ten thousand skill points!

Ten thousand skill points could unlock the diamond level draw for a ten-consecutive pull!

A Diamond Level draw cost one thousand points each time, ten thousand for ten. A ten-consecutive pull guaranteed a baseline, it wouldn't be bad at all!

"If I could draw an enhanced version of the Plant Essence Culture Fluid, then Ah Yin could grow rapidly within a year, regain her strength as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and transform again," murmured Xu Ran, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Going through the transformation process was like getting a new body.

And if Ah Yin wished, she could reshape her face and start over with a new body and identity.

By that time, other than retaining her consciousness and memories as Ah Yin, everything else would be brand new.

The most crucial point was, if Ah Yin transformed.

He would have many ways to show off in front of Tang San and Tang Hao.

Especially Tang Hao, when Ah Yin revealed his true face, the whole world would be shocked.

Tang Hao, by designing to have his wife killed with the help of the Martial Soul Hall and profiting from it, taking Ah Yin's soul ring to ascend as a Titled Douluo with the vast power of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring. When Tang Hao's hypocrite mask is stripped away, he would be doomed forever.

By then, even the Hao Tian Clan wouldn't want anything to do with Tang Hao, who betrayed his wife.

In the past, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Ah Yin became sworn siblings.

Tang Xiao was the eldest, Tang Hao the second, Ah Yin the third.

Both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao naturally fell for Ah Yin. However, in the end, Tang Xiao stepped back due to brotherly love, and since Ah Yin had a preference for Tang Hao, he let go.

But what if Tang Xiao knew that Ah Yin's death was closely related to Tang Hao back then?

The two brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, would decisively break apart.

Tsk tsk, brotherly rift, now that's interesting.

Faced with that situation, Tang Hao would probably be in utter despair.

Once Tang Hao's reputation is entirely ruined, he might as well go collect his boxed rice.

Dai Mubai probably has collected his boxed rice by now, Tang Hao will soon follow, as well as Tang San, Yu Xiaogang... but they can only die after he reveals everything.

Particularly Yu Xiaogang. He wanted to expose his true face in front of Bi Bidong and Liu Erlong, then take Bi Bidong and Liu Erlong away and show off with them in his arms a few times. He would let him learn what cruelty is.

"Man, life is just a breeze with all these cheat codes." Xu Ran took a deep breath of the fresh air around him and couldn't help but think.

When Xu Ran returned to the room, Zi Ji had already woken up, but she was still lying quietly on the bed, a slight pink flush on her cheeks, the usually terrifying and charming Zi Ji was now nothing more than a gentle and quiet young woman.

"Little Zi Ji, how are you feeling?" Xu Ran asked with a smile, looking at the alluring woman lying on the bed.

"What do you think?" Zi Ji's cheeks were slightly red as she listened to Xu Ran call her by that name, feeling terribly shy. Thankfully, Xu Ran only called her that when they were alone.

Otherwise, if Xu Ran were to address her like that in front of her clan or in front of Di Tian and the others, she would probably die of embarrassment.

Although, when Xu Ran called her that, it did feel somewhat sweet to her. But still, it was a bit embarrassing.

"Ahem, you're fine, right? You're the Hell Demon Dragon King, after all. You can't be that fragile," Xu Ran said with a laugh, helping Zi Ji to sit up, then he picked up a black dress that was beside them, ready to help her get dressed.

"Of course, I'm fine. Just a little sore all over, but other than that, I'm okay," Zi Ji said, rolling her eyes at Xu Ran. It was a good thing she was the Hell Demon Dragon King, because if it had been anyone else, they probably would have fainted halfway through dealing with Xu Ran's beastly roughness.

So rough with a girl, despite being a majestic Auspicious Beast surrounded by so many girls.

"I'll do it myself," Zi Ji said, seeing that Xu Ran was still intending to help her dress and struggled to get it right because he was unfamiliar with girl's clothing, she took the dress from him decisively.

"Fine by me," Xu Ran shrugged, sitting at the head of the bed and watching Zi Ji dress herself with grace.

You really can't deny there's a certain charm to a woman dressing and undressing, that hazy allure really makes one's heart itch.

"From now on, I guess I'm your woman," Zi Ji said in a soft voice, sitting on Xu Ran's lap with her hands wrapped around his neck after she had dressed herself. Soul Beasts were different from humans; once they took the ultimate step, they didn't shy away or pretend otherwise.

"Of course, you are. Don't call me your lord anymore, just call me Xu Ran, or Brother Xu Ran works too," Xu Ran said with a smile, remembering that last night Zi Ji had called him 'Brother Xu Ran' quite a few times.

Getting such an affectionate nickname from a ferocious beast indeed felt like an achievement.

"Nice try."

"When we are alone, I can call you Brother Xu Ran. But when others are around, I'll just call you Ran Di, since I am older than you," Zi Ji said shyly. Even though she and Xu Ran had an intimate relationship, she didn't want to openly call out his name. Yet when it came to addressing him affectionately in front of others, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

It seemed, this was the only way to go.

"Alright then. Whatever my precious Zi Ji says goes," Xu Ran indulged her, playfully pinching her cute little nose. What did it matter if she was a ferocious beast formidable enough to rival the Sword Douluo, standing at the pinnacle of the world?

When the time came, she still had to sweetly call him Brother Xu Ran, didn't she?

"Mhm," Zi Ji nodded, lying in Xu Ran's embrace. In that moment, she forgot her identity and was simply Xu Ran's woman.

"Later, let's go check on that big silkworm, the Skydream Ice Silkworm, a million-year soul beast, it's probably a treasure all over," Xu Ran said with a laugh, holding Zi Ji. The Skydream Ice Silkworm was a million-year soul beast, and every part of it was extremely valuable.

So naturally, he was coveting it.

Get some of its flesh, maybe dozens or hundreds of pounds, and bring it back to feed Xiaowu and the others.

The silkworm's skin, being that of a million-year soul beast, was incredibly tough. Get a few dozen pounds, and he could make several sets of armor.

The silkworm's silk, the threads produced by a million-year silkworm were the most perfect silk in the world. A few hundred pounds would let him weave several beautiful dresses for Xiaowu and the others.

The silkworm...

Luckily the Skydream Ice Silkworm wasn't here right now, or else it would likely faint from crying.

Initially, it had hoped that the new Auspicious Beast would come to its rescue, but who would have thought Xu Ran would be even more demonic than Di Tian and the others?

Sparing not even its flesh or skin, and forcing it to keep producing silk day and night...
