Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"Lulu, you have an amazing figure. How do you maintain it?" Qian Ran asked, moving close to Zhu Lu, captivated by her subtle fragrance.

Zhu Lu's figure was incredible—more developed than Wu Feng's, and even surpassing Ning Tian's by quite a bit. She still had plenty of potential for further development, likely even doubling from this foundation.

And with Qian Ran's "support," she could perhaps improve even more.

After a child… maybe another increase.

After a second child…

Qian Ran dared not think further—it was becoming too much. He'd better restrain himself.

"Uh?"

Zhu Lu was taken aback by Qian Ran's audacity in asking such a personal question. She didn't understand why her classmates all seemed so much younger than her. Back with her family, her figure hadn't felt out of place.

"Lulu, do you actually like Dai Huabin?" Ever since his four younger sisters had cosplayed as Xiao Wu, Qian Ran had started thinking about Ning Tian and Zhu Lu.

Xiao Wu's design wasn't as impressive, mainly because the designers hadn't given her an outfit as striking as those of Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing. Ning Tian and Zhu Lu were descendants of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's clans. If they cosplayed as Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, it would be stunning.

That could fulfill Qian Ran's dream of conquering Shrek Academy's "Three Beauties" in a fierce struggle after his arrival.

Ning Tian didn't need much persuasion; she would undoubtedly go along with his plans. Imagining her in Ning Rongrong's flowing blue dress with high slits and green boots—it would be breathtaking.

As for Zhu Lu, pairing her with Zhu Zhuqing's fitted attire would be perfect. The skintight black leather suit was quite the statement. Anime fans knew that Zhu Zhuqing's leather suit left just enough skin exposed to highlight her graceful figure.

Zhu Lu's figure was close to Zhu Zhuqing's as she'd appeared in Soto City in the original series.

"I…"

Zhu Lu bit her lip, unsure how to respond.

In the past, she'd held some affection for Dai Huabin. But now, all she saw was his arrogance and pride.

This side of Dai Huabin wasn't her type at all.

Qian Ran, on the other hand, had not only caught her attention but had also already crossed boundaries with her. If she were honest with herself, her feelings leaned toward Qian Ran.

But did she even have a choice?

"If you don't like Dai Huabin, then take my hand. I'll take you away, and no one can force you to do anything you don't want." Unlike before, Qian Ran felt no reservations about this.

With Qian Renxue and the Ice Empress supporting him—and of course, Xian Lin'er as well—he had little to fear.

Under these circumstances, Dai Huabin and even the Duke of the White Tiger Palace were insignificant in Qian Ran's eyes.

Qian Ran extended his hand, waiting for Zhu Lu's decision.

For Zhu Lu, the choice was stark. She could either choose Qian Ran or continue on with Dai Huabin. But no one else would risk offending the Duke of the White Tiger to stand by her side.

It was obvious that Qian Ran surpassed Dai Huabin in every way.

Though Qian Ran might be flirtatious, his strength and appearance made that a minor flaw.

"Can you really take me away?" Zhu Lu's yearning for freedom surged within her like never before. For a caged bird, confinement was bearable only until she glimpsed the world outside. Once she had, the cage became torture, a prison of bitterness and despair.

Zhu Lu felt the same. She hadn't minded the family's restrictions before; she'd grown accustomed to them over the years. But after meeting Qian Ran, she could no longer accept her fate.

If Qian Ran truly could take her away, unafraid of her family's pressure, why would she stay with Dai Huabin?

Would life with Dai Huabin be any better than life with Qian Ran?

Even if Qian Ran were a stranger, Zhu Lu might not have turned him down. The fact that she had feelings for him made her choice even easier.

Everyone knew that life by Qian Ran's side was one of luxury.

Xiao Xiao had been only level seventeen when she first joined the class, yet her power had surged to level twenty-five.

Both Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao passed their advancement assessments with perfect scores.

Most girls in class harbored feelings for Qian Ran. The class had quite a few beauties, including Ning Tian, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao, as well as a pair of twins.

The twins were also quite pretty, though their hair-based martial spirits reminded Qian Ran of horror movies from his previous life.

"I'll go with you, but you can't betray me."

Summoning her courage, Zhu Lu placed her hand in Qian Ran's.

Though he hadn't interacted with Zhu Lu as much as with Wu Feng or Ning Tian, the pace of their relationship was almost astonishingly fast.

But considering Zhu Lu's situation, it made sense.

The Zhu and Dai families had arranged her marriage. She'd never even been allowed the chance to choose for herself. Now that Qian Ran offered her a way out, Zhu Lu didn't hesitate.

"Don't worry. Even if the Duke of the White Tiger himself came, he wouldn't dare do anything to us." Qian Ran said with a pleased smile, firmly grasping Zhu Lu's hand.

He'd known all along that Zhu Lu would be both the hardest and the easiest to win over.

As long as he provided enough security, Zhu Lu's growing disappointment in Dai Huabin would guide her choice toward freedom over confinement.

"Um, I've never been… with Dai Huabin."

Zhu Lu blushed, her voice soft.

She knew men were often concerned with such things, so she wanted to clear it up with Qian Ran.

"I know. Dai Huabin doesn't seem capable of that. If he'd dared touch you, I'd have beaten him up long ago," Qian Ran chuckled.

Seriously, what was with all these people?

Keeping their beautiful wives untouched? Were they saving them for the wedding night?

The world of Douluo didn't seem all that conservative, after all.

He couldn't understand it. Even without him, the original story kept things "untouched," as if leaving them for fanfiction writers to explore.

What a talented cast of characters!

Bei Bei didn't do much, the main character Huo Yuhao lived with Wang Dong'er for ages without realizing she was a girl, Dai Huabin ignored Zhu Lu's stunning figure, and the prince of the Sun Moon Empire practically became a eunuch, helpless before Juzi's beauty.

Three Shao was truly a mastermind of storytelling!

"Were you eyeing me all along?" Zhu Lu teased, a mix of bashfulness and affection in her voice.

"Of course! With a figure like yours, how could I not? From the moment I saw you, I knew I wanted you. Back then, I decided that if anyone tried to take you, I'd fight them," Qian Ran laughed. When they got back, he'd definitely have Zhu Lu try on some leather. Watching Peerless Tang Sect anime, he'd noticed that the creators seemed to focus on close-ups of her chest and hips, emphasizing her figure with subtle details like waist cutouts. They really knew how to play up her assets.

When she finally wore that outfit…
