Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

Wu Feng could only hope that Qian Ran would restrain himself so she could escape his clutches sooner.

But Ning Tian, who hadn't seen Qian Ran in so long, had a mountain of things to talk about, so letting him go quickly wasn't in her plans. Watching Ning Tian chat excitedly with Qian Ran, Wu Feng's face grew glummer by the minute.

When would this end?

Her legs were genuinely feeling weak, but she didn't dare lean directly on Qian Ran.

If someone paid close attention to Wu Feng, they would notice her entire body trembling slightly, particularly her legs, which were shaking uncontrollably. Unfortunately, Ning Tian was so focused on Qian Ran that she didn't notice anything strange about Wu Feng.

Wu Feng's red eyes glistened with tears, and she was close to crying.

She could only curse Qian Ran in her heart. He was too much, such a bully, she thought.

"You're sweating quite a bit there. That's sweat, right?" Qian Ran commented teasingly, a sly grin on his face.

In the summer heat, sweating from doing nothing was entirely normal.

Wu Feng's face flushed with embarrassment, and a few tears slipped from her eyes in frustration.

Realizing he might have taken the joke too far, Qian Ran finally let her go.

"Wu Feng, are you okay? You look like you're about to cry! If you're not feeling well, I can get permission for you to make it up later," Ning Tian said, finally noticing Wu Feng's distress.

With how obvious Wu Feng's discomfort was, it was impossible for Ning Tian not to notice.

"I'm fine," Wu Feng replied, quickly stepping away from Qian Ran. Free at last, she let out a heavy sigh of relief. Qian Ran was truly terrible for putting her through that. Making her, who was always strong, feel so vulnerable showed just how embarrassed and humiliated she had been.

"Alright, but if you have any issues, don't hesitate to ask me," Ning Tian said, still a bit concerned about Wu Feng.

'Could you really solve the problem of this awful Qian Ran bullying me?' Wu Feng thought bitterly. If Ning Tian knew Qian Ran's intentions toward her, she might actually hand her over as a gift to Qian Ran as a concubine. After all, a love-struck woman would do anything for the man she adored.

Wu Feng was an orphan, raised by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If Ning Tian wanted to give her as a gift, she'd have no say in the matter.

"Really? Can we go too?" Ning Tian's eyes sparkled with excitement when she heard Qian Ran mention a beach vacation at Sea God Lake.

A vacation!

If swimming was involved, maybe she'd get to see Qian Ran's abs!

And if she wore a swimsuit, would Qian Ran like her?

Should she go with a bikini? Although her figure wasn't particularly full, it might still look alright.

Or maybe a cute swimsuit with a short skirt—that could be nice too.

Ning Tian didn't normally wear swimsuits, but she didn't mind in front of someone she liked.

"Of course, let's all go together," Qian Ran said, naturally welcoming two beauties to join him.

"Huh? Qian Ran, Ning Tian, where are you going?" Wu Feng, who had zoned out, had a sense of foreboding.

"We're heading to the lake for a vacation and some swimming."

Wu Feng was stunned. Did that mean swimsuits? And once they were there, wouldn't Qian Ran take full advantage of them? If Qian Ran could be this brazen when she wore her school uniform, what would he do if there was even the slightest contact on the beach? And there'd be no one to complain to.

She bit her lip, but didn't dare voice any objection to Ning Tian. After all, if Ning Tian, a little lamb, went alone, she'd be completely devoured by Qian Ran.

After stirring up Ning Tian and Wu Feng, Qian Ran turned his attention forward.

Wang Dong'er's strength had improved significantly, and her chosen assessment opponent was a thousand-year-old Bloodthirsty Demon Bear. Going all out, she quickly subdued the soul beast and passed the assessment with a perfect score.

Next up was Xiao Xiao. Her twin martial spirits didn't pack the offensive punch of Wang Dong'er's Bright Goddess Butterfly, but with the soul tool Qian Ran had crafted for her, she easily defeated another thousand-year-old soul beast, earning a perfect score as well.

Qian Ran's third-level soul tool had impressive combat power, leaving the Outer Court Director Du Weilun speechless. Though technically a third-level soul tool, Qian Ran's design went far beyond that, unmatched by standard third-level soul tools.

"What a monster."

"Looks like he really is a fifth-level soul engineer. Qian Duoduo wasn't lying," Yan Shaozhe, observing the assessment from the sidelines, was astonished.

"Fifth-level soul engineer?" Du Weilun was already surprised when Xiao Xiao mentioned that her soul tool was Qian Ran's creation. He hadn't expected Qian Ran to be a fifth-level soul engineer. That was absurd. How old was he? Could he really be such a prodigy?

"But why did Qian Ran join the Soul Guidance Department? With his talent, shouldn't he be in our Martial Soul Department?" Du Weilun wondered aloud, puzzled.

"What? Planning to steal him from Xian Lin'er? Qian Ran is Lin'er's disciple."

Du Weilun fell silent. Who would dare try to take a student from Xian Lin'er? That would be madness.

"Second-Year, Class 2, Dai Huabin."

Dai Huabin straightened his posture, exuding a powerful, steely aura before the assessment even began. He stood there like a volcano ready to erupt.

As he approached Qian Ran, his gaze was filled with hostility and defiance. No matter how strong Qian Ran was now, Dai Huabin was determined to close the gap and eventually catch up.

"Oh."

"You…!" Qian Ran's indifferent response infuriated Dai Huabin.

"I choose a thousand-year soul beast." He strode forward, declaring his choice before the examiner even asked. He intended to display his dominance, to show Qian Ran that he wouldn't be underestimated.

At that moment, Zhu Lu approached.

It had been a long time since she'd seen Qian Ran, and she felt a pang of uncertainty.

Back during the freshman assessments, Qian Ran had flirted with her, yet afterward, he'd seemed to avoid her entirely.

"Qian Ran, it's been a while." Zhu Lu spoke with a tinge of sadness. Every time she saw Qian Ran chatting and laughing with others, her heart felt sour.

After all, she was Dai Huabin's fiancée. It was only natural that Qian Ran wouldn't be interested in her.

She envied Xiao Xiao and the others. If she were free to choose, she could pursue her own love openly.

"You too. It's been a while," Qian Ran replied, surprised as he looked at Zhu Lu. Even in her school uniform, her full figure was hard to miss. Was it just his imagination, or did she look even more voluptuous than before? Was that a unique trait of the Zhu family? If she had children in the future, would she become even more ample?
