As the class was about to end, Xu Ran ran to the nearby florist and bought three bouquets of flowers, preparing them for Xiaowu and the others.
Life needs a sense of surprise and ceremony, so it doesn't feel boring or monotonous.
A short while later, a lively crowd of young boys and girls burst from the stairwell.
Xu Ran stood there holding the three bouquets of flowers, his handsome and tall figure, and his extraordinary demeanor immediately attracted countless gazes.
Everyone looked at Xu Ran in surprise. As Soul Masters, their knowledge was not low, and they naturally could tell that a person like Xu Ran was either rich or noble with a high status. That kind of bearing was definitely not something an ordinary person could have.
A group of girls saw Xu Ran and immediately cast flirtatious glances at him.
In a world where the strong were respected, marrying well was also a skill. For female Soul Masters, this was the fastest way to elevate one's status and position, second to none.
In Soul Land, where Martial Souls were inherited from one's family, everyone understood their talents and the limits of their cultivation from the moment they were born. This was discovered through the continuous trials of their ancestors with the same Martial Souls within the family.
Soul Land was a world with distinct social classes. Martial Souls were passed down through the family, solidifying the class structure.
"A pheasant cannot become a Phoenix." This saying was indeed true in Soul Land.
Over the past thousands of years in Soul Land, the trailblazers who stirred up the winds and the clouds, when you count them, still belonged to the descendants of big clans. Occasionally, a few mutant powerful Martial Souls would spring out of smaller families.
Hao Tian Hammer, Blue Electric Overlord Dragon, Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Hell Spiritual Cat, white tiger, Phoenix... These Martial Souls, looking across the Continent, were already considered rare existences.
So, for most people, marrying a rich, beautiful woman or catching a wealthy son-in-law was the only way to success in life.
Xu Ran glanced around, observing the youthful and beautiful girls nearby. Since they were all cultivators, they all looked pretty good, especially now in the summer when they all wore short skirts and shorts, revealing their lovely legs, which were quite a sight to behold.
It's free to look, why not make the most of it?
An ancient saying goes, "Looking at beautiful women is good for health, it prolongs life and fights aging."
"Stinky Xu Ran, you're looking around again," Xiaowu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing walked over together. Xiaowu blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke with a hint of annoyance. The other two girls couldn't help rolling their eyes.
Xu Ran had not been able to change his flirtatious ways. These days he hadn't been at the academy, he must have been off flirting with other girls.
They even worried that in a few days' time, there might be girls coming to their academy looking for Xu Ran to hold him responsible.
Even in Shrek Academy, events like this occurred frequently. After all, it's an academy, and there are too many affairs of the heart going on. Just the other day, they had seen a girl crying outside the dormitory building, which was quite pitiful.
Fortunately, Xu Ran didn't seem to be the sort of person who would run away after a one-night stand. A flirtatious nature they could accept, but someone who leaves immediately after getting what they want was truly despicable.
Xu Ran, at most, would have just hidden a house full of...
"None of you look as pretty as you," Xu Ran smiled and handed each of them one of the bouquets.
Compared to Xiaowu and her two companions, the other girls of Shrek Academy seemed dull in comparison. Ever since Xiaowu and the others had arrived at Shrek Academy, there had been three school beauties, dominated by them.
Given the hot weather, Xiaowu was wearing a pair of white hot pants, showing off her long and straight legs completely, which interpreted the epitome of beauty. The curves hugged by her hot pants also had their own appeal.
Ning Rongrong was wearing a white dress, with crystal pendants dangling from her ears, looking extremely delicate with a rare sense of elegance.
Zhu Zhuqing wore a black silk knee-length skirt. Even in the heat of summer, her beautiful legs were still wrapped in tight stockings. Although in this life there was Xu Ran and Zhu Qing had opened up to the outside world a little more and her heart had opened up, this was only in front of Xu Ran and Xiaowu and the others. In the eyes of others, Zhu Qing was still the cold and unapproachable ice queen.
It seemed to be a habit formed since childhood; even in hot weather, she would dress conservatively in stockings and long pants.
"Hmph, we don't believe what you said," the three girls took the fresh flowers from Xu Ran, their hearts full of sweetness, yet they still spoke in unison.
These days, they had been tipped off.
Xu Ran had told each one of them the same thing, that they were the most beautiful one, the one he loved the most deeply.
Humph, liar, scoundrel.
But in reality, Xu Ran wasn't afraid of being exposed. Because what women enjoy is the admiration and pampering from their lover.
Being rational, they would naturally understand that Xu Ran was telling a blatant lie, but every time he said it, they still loved to hear it. What they really wanted to hear was not the answer, but your care and affection. Get it?
If Xu Ran told the truth, then they would be unhappy.
So, blame him?
"Hey, I'm just speaking the truth." Xu Ran curled his lip. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all his wives are beauties.
"Who's keeping me company today?" Xu Ran said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the three ladies.
In response to Xu Ran's undisguised greedy gaze, all three women blushed at once, and then Xiaowu and Zhu Qing gave Ning Rongrong a push. Xiaowu had recently spent a long time frolicking with Xu Ran in the Aquipeia Forest. Zhu Qing accompanied Xu Ran back to Xingluo City. The two women naturally wanted to give more ordinary time to Ning Rongrong.
"Ah. Zhu Qing, Xiaowu, what are you doing?" Ning Rongrong stumbled forward one step, her pretty face blushing as she spat out softly. Although she was somewhat embarrassed, she didn't step back.
She had missed Xu Ran too, even though they could often see each other now.
But Xu Ran was like a wanderer who never came home, running around everywhere. He had been back at the academy for so long and, except for reporting to Flander, hadn't attended a single class.
Xu Ran was supposed to be a member of the advanced class, but most teachers didn't even know there was such a student in their class.
Now many students at Shrek Academy had no idea that there was such a powerful fellow student as Xu Ran in their midst.
"Heehee, Rongrong, just enjoy yourself. We're leaving first."
Xiaowu and Zhu Zhuqing wore a playful smile, then strode away on long legs, leaving Ning Rongrong standing there alone in her dress, fidgeting.
Only when Xu Ran took her hand and she felt the warmth of his palm did the nervousness in her heart subside a bit. It wasn't the first time anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?
Softness overcomes hardness, and Xu Ran, no matter how strong, wouldn't be able to cause her severe harm. Even the strongest spear can't penetrate a soft, elastic shield.
"Stop thinking, let's go." Xu Ran pulled Ning Rongrong towards the separate courtyard where he lived.
After Ning Rongrong and Xu Ran left, an uproar erupted at Shrek Academy.
Everyone was stunned.
Ning Rongrong, Xiaowu, and Zhu Zhuqing were the three new beauties of the academy. And their strength was also extremely formidable, having attracted a lot of attention upon entering the academy.
A local tyrant, Tai Long, took the initiative to say hello and was directly beaten until he was covered in bruises.
This made everyone admire the three beauties even more. A woman who has both beauty and talent can truly be called a goddess.
But now, all three goddess-level school beauties had been snatched away by one person?
"My God, I must be hallucinating."
"Even Tai Long couldn't get them to spare him a second glance. One of them is even from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, with a very noble status. But..."
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the retreating figures of Xu Ran and Ning Rongrong.
They weren't fools; they naturally knew why they were together so late. At that moment, numerous hearts shattered.
They simply couldn't understand why the three school beauties had fallen for the same person at the same time.
It looked like they had taken the final step, right!
Dammit, my man, even if you have a good appetite, could you slow down? Be careful not to choke.
Most importantly, save some for your brothers, huh!
This was just the beginning, and soon after, Tianshui College, Sky Dou Royal Academy, Fiery Flame College... Xu Ran also acquired the nickname of the school beauty harvester.
