Chapter 472: Chapter 471: Meng Hongchen Is Stunned—Qian Ran’s Heavenly Lifestyle
Under Qian Ran's influence, Nana had undergone a dramatic transformation in just a month.
Clothes make the woman, after all. A girl's beauty wasn't just about her natural features but also how she dressed and carried herself.
What Qian Ran loved most about Nana were her stunningly long, straight, and sexy legs. Even without stockings, they were irresistible. At home, Qian Ran had Nana dress lightly, catering entirely to his tastes.
Her meter-long legs paired with tight shorts were perfection. And while Nana's current outfit was already modest—mid-thigh shorts—when it was just the two of them, Qian Ran preferred her in angled shorts that revealed the curves of her hips. It was a view that Qian Ran couldn't get enough of.
He rarely received uninvited guests, but Qian Ran was cautious about anyone catching a glimpse of Nana's beauty. He couldn't tolerate anyone coveting what was his.
Of course, the other women sent by the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy didn't enjoy such privileges. They all wore bikinis, and Qian Ran didn't care if they were exposed. He didn't even remember most of their names—they were unimportant.
Their presence was mainly for the atmosphere. In the midst of this indulgent "wine pool and meat forest," they served as background leaves, highlighting Nana's charm.
"I'm here to see Qian Ran," Meng Hongchen said, her voice tinged with hesitation.
Nana knew who she was. As the granddaughter of the academy's dean, Meng Hongchen was well-acquainted with most of the academy's top talents. But Nana hadn't expected Meng Hongchen to show up here, especially dressed so provocatively.
Meng Hongchen was at a loss for words when she saw Nana.
She had only seen girls dress like this in very specific settings, usually to attract the attention of someone they liked. Meng Hongchen couldn't help but feel her confidence waver.
She had dressed up deliberately today, thinking she would impress Qian Ran, but seeing Nana now left her feeling inadequate.
Nana's flawless, long legs, her perfectly shaped hips, and her toned waist made Meng Hongchen feel like an amateur by comparison.
"Come in," Nana said after a brief pause, pulling Meng Hongchen inside. Nana knew Qian Ran's temper—he was extremely possessive. If anyone else caught sight of her like this, he would definitely be upset.
Usually, when she dressed provocatively, she stayed in Qian Ran's dorm. Qian Ran had strict rules—she could dress skimpily indoors but not expose too much outside.
When Meng Hongchen stepped into the room, she was utterly dumbfounded.
The room was filled with familiar faces—top students from the academy. As the dean's granddaughter, she recognized almost all of them.
These weren't just any students; they were elite talents. And yet, here they were, lounging in Qian Ran's dorm.
But the most shocking part was their attire—or lack thereof. Most of them were wearing bikinis, and even those who weren't were dressed in scanty outfits. Meng Hongchen's face instantly turned red.
The question lingered in her mind: Why are they dressed like this?
Qian Ran hadn't forced them. As someone with status and resources, he didn't need to. A few days ago, one of the girls who had been particularly attentive received a pill from Qian Ran. After taking it, her cultivation instantly advanced by two levels.
This sparked a frenzy among the other girls, who realized the benefits of being in Qian Ran's good graces.
Even at Shrek Academy, such an opportunity would have been irresistible. At the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, where cultivation often slowed drastically after reaching the Soul Elder or Soul King levels, it was life-changing. Many students had become reliant on stimulants to boost their cultivation, and progress had become painstakingly slow.
For those at Nana's level, advancing by two ranks could take half a year of effort under normal circumstances. But this girl had achieved it instantly.
Over time, Qian Ran rewarded one or two more girls, further incentivizing everyone to compete for his favor. Their efforts to please him escalated, and their attire became increasingly revealing. Some even arrived in thong bikinis.
With his abundant resources, Qian Ran didn't need to resort to coercion. Word of his generosity spread, and the number of girls volunteering to be his study companions grew daily. Qian Ran's life rivaled that of an emperor.
He was even planning to take some of the more loyal ones with him when he left the academy. He wasn't worried about their loyalty—his resources alone ensured that they would follow him anywhere.
"Mengmeng, what brings you here?" Qian Ran greeted, coughing lightly as Meng Hongchen entered.
Surrounded by so many stunning women, even Qian Ran felt a bit awkward. He was lounging on a sofa, his head resting on one girl's lap as she massaged his temples. To his side, three others knelt or squatted, rubbing his legs and feet.
Six or seven more stood nearby, waiting their turn.
At this moment, Qian Ran was living the life of a debauched king.
"What do you think?" Meng Hongchen huffed, her cheeks puffed in indignation, her large eyes glaring at him.
As someone from a noble family, Meng Hongchen was no stranger to luxury, but this was on another level.
Even the most extravagant nobles didn't have maids as beautiful as Qian Ran's companions—all of whom were near-goddess-level beauties.
"You…!" Meng Hongchen stammered, pointing at the girls in the room. She was furious. These were some of the academy's brightest talents, and yet…
The girls blushed and lowered their heads, too embarrassed to respond.
"Don't be mad, don't be mad. These girls were sent by your academy to take care of me," Qian Ran said quickly, trying to calm Meng Hongchen. He had worked hard to create this arrangement and didn't want her stirring up their sense of shame. Losing his current lifestyle would be unbearable.
"Really?" Meng Hongchen raised an eyebrow, her anger and embarrassment mixing.
Despite her feelings for Qian Ran, she had never been this close to him. Yet here were so many girls who had already taken up residence in his dorm, even before her.
Nana's presence, she could understand. But these other girls?
If not for her grandfather's interference, Meng Hongchen wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Thinking of this, her eyes grew misty.
