"Is that so? Then, System Miss, do you know where my next world will be?" Xu Ran was curious. The next world must be much more advanced than both the Douluo and the Doupo worlds. If he were to go to a world like Zhetian Wanmei, his current strength, once converted, probably wouldn't rank too high.
If it were a world like Great Dominator, maybe he could blend in with a "Cultivation Level" of a "Heavenly Sovereign," which would make things much easier for him there. As for the worlds of the gods, they seemed not to be simple either.
"I don't know that yet. We'll only find out when we get there. However, Brother Xu Ran's strength has improved a lot these days. With Brother Xu Ran's strength, even if you go to that world, you won't have to worry. After all, I'm here, isn't the purpose of the System to make the 'Host' invincible?" the System Miss said playfully.
Even if he went to another world, she would keep the 'Host' constantly on cheat mode, always invincible. She certainly didn't want her favorite boy to be bullied by others.
"Haha, right? What do I have to worry about? Even if there are strong enemies, they'll just be there to give me experience," Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders, his fighting spirit ignited.
In the Doupo World, it was like being on vacation, not enough to spark any interest in him.
Even though he could have fun beating up Xiao Huohuo, gradually, even Xiao Huohuo began to lose appeal to him.
However, before heading to the next world, he needed to tie up all loose ends in this one, and he needed to cultivate a few more helpers like the previous Flame Clones. Later, he could let them roam free, effectively having many people helping him with his cultivation, and gathering all sorts of different intelligence in different places.
"But can I return to the Divine Realm now? It wouldn't be bad to bring Rongrong and the others over to have fun for a few days. They've probably been bored in the Divine Realm. But I'll introduce System Miss to Xun Er and the others first," Xu Ran stretched and yawned.
He had been planning to explain the existence of Zhu Qing and the others to Xun Er anyway. But since he and Xiao Mei hadn't known each other for even a year, they probably had expected it. After all, considering the rate at which Xu Ran was expanding his "Harem," if anyone believed that he had been modest and respectful a year ago, they would probably not buy it.
Yet he didn't intend to tell them about the Divine Realm or the other worlds for the time being. They would naturally find out once their strength improved.
"Moon Spirit. Wow, this badge is really pretty."
At that moment, Xun Er and the others received their Moon Spirit badges from Senior Han Yue's hands, proving their identity.
Now that Moon Spirit had gained a batch of powerful members, a celebratory atmosphere permeated the whole place, and all members were delighted. The stronger Moon Spirit became, the more influence it had in the Inner Court, and the more respect others outside would show; no one would cause trouble for them.
"Heehee. It's really lively here. I want to join Moon Spirit too. Senior Han Yue surely won't disagree, right?" At this point, the voice of a lovely and pretty girl drew the attention of Xun Er and the others, and everyone in Moon Spirit was taken aback.
What's going on today? Why were so many people rushing to join Moon Spirit?
Is Moon Spirit really that attractive? While not bad, it shouldn't be to the extent that all these geniuses were clamoring to join. Could it be that Moon Spirit now had some unknown ace up its sleeve? Everyone, except Senior Han Yue, in Moon Spirit was puzzled.
At the entrance stood a girl clad in light blue clothes, her beauty striking, her petite and lovely figure wrapped in clothing that revealed tempting curves that stirred the heart.
"Is that Xin Lan? Xin Lan actually wants to join Moon Spirit? Xin Lan is a Genius Alchemist, and many powers have offered her olive branches. But it's so surprising that she would choose our Moon Spirit," some of the original Moon Spirit members began whispering among themselves.
Yet Han Yue was not at all surprised by this. Under other circumstances, she would have been naturally delighted to welcome a Heaven's Proud Daughter like Xin Lan to the Moon Spirit. However, Xin Lan's visit at this time was definitely no coincidence; she knew Xu Ran's identity as well.
"It's good that I made my move quickly. It seems that many in the Inner Court are aware of Lord Xu Ran's strength." Han Yue immediately felt relieved. Although she hadn't yet fully gained Xu Ran's acknowledgment, at least she had much more opportunity to be with him at Moon Spirit than anyone else.
"Does Senior Han Yue not welcome me? Have I done something wrong?" Xin Lan asked with a beaming smile, looking at Han Yue.
"Of course, there is no problem. Welcome." Han Yue said amiably after standing there for a moment. Even if she did not welcome Xin Lan, she couldn't do anything about it – Xin Lan hadn't broken any rules of Moon Spirit entry, and as a highly talented alchemist, she was very useful to Moon Spirit.
"Senior Han Yue moves so fast; I didn't expect you to beat me to it. But I won't just concede to you. I will fight for it at any cost, even if it means offering my body," Xin Lan whispered into Han Yue's ear as they shook hands.
In fact, in the Inner Court, Xin Lan's looks were no less than Han Yue's, but it seemed Xin Lan also had a very aloof personality. At least Han Yue was the Sect Leader of Moon Spirit. Despite her aloof nature, she was quite skilled in socializing.
Xin Lan's background was also shrouded in mystery. She had the same origins in Zhongzhou, and Xin Lan's family had some connections with the Pill Tower, once being one of the Five Great Families of the Pill Tower. However, Xin Lan's family was now in decline and had lost its relationship with the Pill Tower. Xin Lan came to seek Xu Ran's help for the Ye Family to re-enter the Pill Tower.
"Then let the best person win. Our goals do not align, so there's no need to see each other as enemies; we can also cooperate," Han Yue whispered in response.
"Agreed," Xin Lan acknowledged Han Yue's reply.
"I'll be counting on your extra care in the future, everyone." Xin Lan greeted the women warmly, especially Xun Er and her companions.
"That girl... the one beside Brother Xu Ran..."
"So beautiful..."
"Can humans really be this exquisite?"
"Why? She surely isn't from the Inner Court, right? If she were, the Inner Court would have been in chaos by now."
Suddenly, everyone in the headquarters of Moon Spirit quieted down, stunned, looking at the entrance at the breathtakingly beautiful woman who made all other women pale in comparison. It seemed as though her entry elevated the phrase "nation's beauty and heavenly fragrance."
She was too beautiful, so beautiful that it inspired envy in the other girls.
There was not a single flaw on her, the sacred and inviolable beauty she possessed made everyone present feel a sense of shame and unworthiness.
