"Don't want me to come? Fine, I won't come next time," Xu Ran said with a look of anger.
"Don't be angry, I didn't say you couldn't come. You're an Elder, and where you want to go is up to you; I can't control you," Ruo Lin hastily stated, seeing Xu Ran looking angry.
She simply felt embarrassed to be together with Xu Ran in front of so many colleagues. She was certain that she would definitely become the center of their gossip after today. Don't think that becoming a teacher means they don't gossip; they just don't gossip about ordinary matters as much. But when there's enough to pique their curiosity, they're no different from the students.
"If you want me not to be angry, take this flower with that," Xu Ran pointed at Ruo Lin's bright red lips.
"You really are...!"
Ruo Lin stamped her foot in embarrassment.
Xu Ran truly never acted proper. And yet, he was exaggeratedly described by those guys as indifferent.
If it weren't for the limitation of strength, he would absolutely be a thorough profligate!!!
However, Ruo Lin never rejected Xu Ran's wishes, especially in public. Biting her teeth lightly, Ruo Lin tiptoed towards Xu Ran, resting her palm on his chest, and gently bit the slender stem of the flower with her silver teeth.
But, unavoidably, her lips brushed against Xu Ran's.
Ruo Lin almost lost control and nearly dropped the flower on the ground.
If it had actually fallen to the ground, although Xu Ran wouldn't be angry, he would certainly take the opportunity to punish her.
Speaking of punishment, Ruo Lin shivered.
Xu Ran, of course, would never be violent with her, but that... sometimes really made her not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ooh~"
A chorus of teasing voices came from inside the room.
Especially those female teachers, who, upon seeing this scene, screamed even louder.
Xu Ran's flirting tactics were truly insurmountable! They were only spectators, yet they relished the scene.
He's strong, gentle, and knows how to romance. Where could you find such a good man?
"Let's go!" Ruo Lin tugged at Xu Ran's sleeve, wishing she could leave this place as quickly as possible. It was just too embarrassing.
Xu Ran smiled and, without teasing Ruo Lin further, left the place with her.
"What are you doing here? Not going after your little girlfriends anymore? Han Yue, Xin Lan? You guy, as soon as you arrived, you snatched away some of the most beautiful girls in our academy. You really have some nerve. Aren't you afraid of being cursed to death by the male students in the academy?" Ruo Lin knew all about the affairs of the academy, and she had long been aware of Xu Ran's relationship with Xin Lan and Han Yue.
In the academy, Xu Ran had really stirred up public anger.
Originally, Xu Ran entered the Inner Court with Xun Er, Hu Jia, and a bunch of beautiful girlfriends, which was infuriating enough. But that wasn't enough, he even managed to charm the most outstanding girls in the academy.
Han Yue was known as the number one beauty of the Inner Court, with no small number of admirers. If Moon Spirit only accepted female members, then with Han Yue's reputation, Moon Spirit could even break into the academy's top five.
Xin Lan was even a genius alchemist, with many in the academy wishing to curry favor with her. Those people all wanted Xin Lan to help them concoct elixirs. She was also a highly popular and talented lady.
As a result, Xu Ran simply knocked everything over in one fell swoop, which naturally made people curse their bad luck internally.
Everyone had had a chance while she was single, even if they lacked the strength, they still had a dream here. But Xu Ran had shattered that dream outright.
"You're such a glutton, always gobbling things up carelessly, such a waste!" Ruo Lin couldn't help but complain.
Even if Xu Ran worked around the clock, it was absolutely impossible to show affection to everyone.
"It's mutual affection between us!" Xu Ran retorted with a curl of the lip.
"Right, I came to ask for a leave of absence. I could leave casually whenever I wanted but, considering you are my precious mentor and wife, I thought I should let you know."
"Asking for leave, you're not going to disappear for a long time like before, are you?" Ruo Lin looked at Xu Ran unwillingly. She truly didn't want to be separated from Xu Ran. She had gradually become dependent on him, and Xu Ran had become her pillar of support.
"No, it's just a short trip for a few days. I want to go back to the Jia Ma Empire to see how the others are doing. I've been away for so long without visiting them, I'm afraid they're all going to hold it against me," Xu Ran said with a smile. It had indeed been some time since he'd come to Canaan Academy. Taking this opportunity to check on his Yun Yun wife and the others seemed apt.
It's simple, just devour Yun Yun wife completely.
Just thinking about the beauty of his Yun Yun wife made him eager to act.
Yun Yun Sect Master on the left, Queen Medusa on the right, this was the true way to enjoy the company of two beauties.
"Is that so? You really should go back and visit. After all, the power to act lies with you, and I can't control you," Ruo Lin said, slightly annoyed.
Given Xu Ran's power, a trip back to the Jia Ma Empire wouldn't take much time at all.
...
"Master, let's head straight to the Jia Ma Empire. The Yunlan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire harbors two of Xu Ran's intimate confidantes. Once we capture them, Xu Ran will be at our mercy. When we face Xu Ran after that, we won't have anything to worry about," Xiao Yan cautiously said to the Void-swallowing Flame beside him.
"Hmm. If I were acting alone, I wouldn't be sure I could subdue him," the Void-swallowing Flame nodded in agreement. Collaborate with Hun Tiandi? He didn't quite trust Hun Tiandi.
If it really was the Emperor Grade Young Pill, waiting for his own strength to advance a little more, he would have a greater chance of victory relying on his understanding of the Emperor Grade Young Pill.
Now, his power was no match for Hun Tiandi, so he wouldn't divulge the existence of such a powerful being as the Emperor Grade Young Pill. Even Hun Tiandi knew only that Xu Ran was a formidable opponent.
The Void-swallowing Flame wasn't foolish; although he didn't know why the Emperor Grade Young Pill had left the Ancient Emperor's Cave House to appear in the outside world, nothing was impossible. The power of the Emperor Grade Young Pill was already formidable; finding a way out wasn't surprising.
What he didn't understand, however, was why the Emperor Grade Young Pill would be so flirtatious and lecherous—could elixirs also be lecherous?
Regardless, the Void-swallowing Flame had no doubts about his speculation that Xu Ran was the Emperor Grade Young Pill. Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level," different from the scope of other alchemists, along with his sudden appearance, seemed to corroborate his identity. As the incarnation of an elixir, the Emperor Grade Young Pill would surely possess exceptional understanding of elixirs, explaining his ability to conjure miraculous potions.
In short, in the Void-swallowing Flame's theory, Xu Ran was undoubtedly the Emperor Grade Young Pill.
"Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran, I, Xiao Yan, am coming for you! You scorned me by breaking off our engagement in the past, now it's my turn to humiliate you! My beloved fiancée?" Xiao Yan's face twisted with a morbid sneer. His former self was powerless when Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement. Now the tables had turned, and it was his turn to oppress the Yunlan Sect with might! This was the retribution for the wrong they had done!
