Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

Orange still didn't fully understand men.

Lusting after another man's wife? That was practically written into their DNA. The only reason most men didn't act on it was years of societal restraint. But give them a spark, and… well, let's just say it would be hard to stop the flames.

And sneaking around was thrilling enough—how much more exciting would it be if it were all out in the open?

Flirting openly with the future crown princess of the Sun-Moon Empire, right under Xu Tianran's nose? Could it get any sweeter? Any more exhilarating?

"You scoundrel," Orange muttered, realizing a bit too late that Qian Ran didn't mind her identity at all. If anything, it seemed her status as the future crown princess only made him more excited.

How odd.

"Good girls like bad boys," Qian Ran quipped, pulling Orange tightly into his arms and running his hands over her slender waist. Her soft, delicate curves were simply irresistible.

There was just something about another man's wife—it must have been psychological.

Once Orange was fully his, the thrill would fade. Qian Ran intended to enjoy this exhilarating moment while it lasted.

"So, what else did your crown prince say?" Qian Ran asked, lifting Orange's chin with a teasing grin.

"What do you mean, 'my crown prince'?" Orange huffed, puffing her cheeks in indignation.

"Aren't you loyal to Xu Tianran?" Qian Ran chuckled.

"I… don't know," Orange replied, momentarily stunned by the question.

If she had been asked this before, she would have sworn absolute loyalty to Xu Tianran. Her approach to him was calculated, but her loyalty was real. At the time, she had no one else to rely on, and Xu Tianran's offer to help her avenge her family had earned her devotion.

But after meeting Qian Ran, her perspective had shifted.

She never would have revealed her carefully guarded secrets to anyone before now.

"It's fine if you don't know. Has Xu Tianran assigned you any other tasks?"

"He wants me to bring you to him when the time comes. He's probably interested in your Wuhun Sect background. There are rumors on the continent that Wuhun Sect is the successor to Spirit Hall, and Spirit Hall was said to hold the secrets of godhood," Orange explained.

Spirit Hall had once been the guardian of the Angel God and possessed the legendary Angelic Armament.

Even if Wuhun Sect wasn't as powerful as Spirit Hall in its prime, it likely still had records related to ascending to godhood. This was precisely the kind of knowledge sought by Titled Douluo and ambitious rulers alike.

For the Sun-Moon Empire, this was particularly crucial—they had never produced a god.

The original nations of the Douluo Continent had detailed records of the Shrek Seven Devils' path to godhood, while the Sun-Moon Empire was completely in the dark. Understanding these mysteries, even if godhood seemed out of reach for their strongest talents, could offer inspiration and pave the way for breakthroughs.

"I see. So I'm quite the threat to the Sun-Moon Empire, huh?" Qian Ran smirked, not entirely surprised. He had expected interest from the Sun-Moon Empire, the Mingde Hall, and even the Holy Spirit Sect.

"For now, your safety should be assured. But later… who knows? Before the exchange program ends, they'll definitely make a move. The empire won't let you leave so easily," Orange warned. She was certain of one thing—Qian Ran was destined to become a Limit Douluo at the very least.

There was no way the Sun-Moon Empire would let such a potential adversary slip through their fingers.

If not for Xu Tianran's disability and his plan to acquire Qian Ran's "seed," his cautious nature would likely have led him to kill Qian Ran the moment he set foot in the empire.

"Damn it!"

"I get it now!" Qian Ran exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as realization struck.

The so-called exchange program and study partners—they were all just schemes!

"Those bastards. They sent their academy's beauties to bait me. They're shameless! They all want my bloodline!"

"The empire has investigated your martial souls. They know they're unique. Even if others share similar ones, they're incredibly rare. So their plan is simple—kill you and keep your lineage alive. That way, they'd have an exclusive bloodline," Orange said, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Even she found the plan disgraceful.

But for the Sun-Moon Empire, it was a necessary tactic. No matter how advanced their soul tool research was, it couldn't change the innate nature of martial souls.

Qian Ran was left speechless, his mind reeling.

So far, he had only been involved with Nana among the study partners. But if the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy wanted to play dirty, he wouldn't hold back. From now on, he resolved to change girlfriends daily. After all, the academy would cover for him.

"You seem a little too happy about this," Orange said, pinching his waist hard in mock annoyance. She could tell Qian Ran was already scheming something indecent.

Still, she couldn't deny that Qian Ran had incredible luck with women.

"I get the feeling that if I got any of them pregnant, Xu Tianran would immediately make them his concubines," Qian Ran mused with a strange expression.

"He probably would. It's likely part of the crown prince's plan," Orange replied calmly.

"So, do you want me to make a move on them?" Qian Ran asked, considering the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's women. Their looks and figures were impressive, with their flashy outfits making them stand out. Compared to the women of Shrek Academy, the Sun-Moon students seemed more delicate and refined.

Shrek Academy emphasized physical training, resulting in healthier and more athletic figures. Meanwhile, the soul engineers of the Sun-Moon Academy, apart from Nana, tended to have softer physiques.

"What does it matter to me? I'm not your keeper. Besides, I doubt you'd resist. If you want to, go ahead. As long as it's consensual, who cares?"

Orange's unique upbringing made her view such matters lightly. She had long accepted the possibility of marrying Xu Tianran and becoming part of a harem. When Xu Tianran became disabled, her perspective shifted once again.

In her eyes, a man with a healthy dose of lust was preferable to one confined to a wheelchair, incapable of doing anything.

Her adaptability was largely due to Xu Tianran's influence.
