Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Is this the Three Thousand Flames Fire?"

With his eyes open, purple-black flames suddenly burst into flame within Xu Ran's pitch-black pupils. Two beams of fire shot out from his eyes like lasers, splitting the sea of flames and tearing open two vast voids, each ten zhang in size.

Slowly lowering his head, his hand closed into a fist and a ball of purple-black flame emerged with a 'whoosh'.

"Congratulations to Lord Xu Ran for subduing the Three Thousand Flames Fire," Feng Qing'er said, looking with admiration at Xu Ran, who had effortlessly subdued the Three Thousand Flames Fire. Over these past few days, she had also learned about Xu Ran's true identity from Xin Lan, and her reverence for Xu Ran was mingled with great adoration.

"Come here."

Xu Ran pulled Feng Qing'er into his arms. After absorbing the Strange Fire, a strong desire would always emerge in his heart. Although he could suppress the desire with his power, there was no need to do so.

"Ah. Lord, let Qing'er serve you," Feng Qing'er said, delighting in sensing Xu Ran's desire.

For her, receiving Xu Ran's favor would be an incredible stroke of luck.

Feng Qing'er immediately employed all of her seductive arts, abandoning the reserve of a lady and wantonly displaying her alluring femininity.

As a descendant of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Feng Qing'er naturally had some special skills.

"You're doing quite well. If you can please me even more, I wouldn't mind giving you a great fortune," Xu Ran said with a smile playing on his lips, enjoying the feelings Feng Qing'er brought him.

Hearing this, Feng Qing'er's coy eyes filled with joy.

Feng Qing'er could feel her bloodline evolving in the direction of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

"How did our Cao Family manage to offend such a powerful figure?" Cao Ying had a throbbing headache. When Xuan Kongzi returned to the Pill Tower, he told Cao Ying all about the affairs between the Cao Family, Ye Family, and Xu Ran, so she wouldn't offend Xu Ran.

Knowing that the Cao Family had offended a Dou Di, her face went pale.

To have dared to lay a finger on the woman of a Dou Di, what was she thinking? Luckily, Xu Ran was not a man of slaughter; otherwise, the entire Cao Family would have been done for.

But who could have known that Xin Lan had become the woman of a Dou Di without making a sound?

Envy filled Cao Ying's heart.

Xin Lan's talents couldn't compare to hers, let alone the other outstanding talents of the Cao Family. But so what? Now she even had to show respect when she saw Xin Lan. After all, offending Xin Lan was essentially offending that existence.

And with such a backer as that existence for Xin Lan, it's likely she could easily become a Ninth Grade Alchemist in the future.

Her teacher Xuan Kongzi had received the Ninth Grade Alchemist inheritance from Xu Ran and was now in seclusion.

Cao Ying came to the outside of Xu Ran's chamber, hesitating.

She wanted to apologize and beg for mercy. If the Cao Family had genuinely offended Xu Ran to death, then there would be no point in staying at the Pill Tower any longer. Moreover, it would be as easy for him to wipe out the Cao Family as it would be to kill an ant.

"Lord Xu Ran, are you there? I am Cao Ying, disciple of President Xuan Kongzi," Cao Ying bit her lip and decided to meet with Xu Ran.

Upon reaching the door, she faintly heard some strange sounds.

But she dared not probe the source of the sounds outside Xu Ran's room—that would be disrespectful to Xu Ran, and she didn't have the courage for that.

When Xu Ran and Feng Qing'er heard Cao Ying's voice, they both paused for a moment.

"Don't stop," Xu Ran said, pinching Feng Qing'er's body.

Seeing this, Feng Qing'er no longer held back.

She could feel her bloodline nearing that of an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. At this crucial time, she couldn't afford to be distracted. Besides, the visitor was also a woman; even if she saw them, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

"You, come in."

A curious smile appeared on Xu Ran's face.

"Yes," Cao Ying pushed the door and entered, and the scene before her startled her to stillness.

She quickly lowered her head and knelt on the floor, her face burning with embarrassment.

Lord Xu Ran was actually...

How could she have come in at this time? But it seemed that it was Lord Xu Ran who had called her over.

"What have you come for?" Xu Ran asked.

"I've come to apologize to Lord Xu Ran. Our Cao Family is unforgivably guilty, and we hope for your mercy, to not hold the likes of us to account," Cao Ying's heart was in turmoil, flustered by the coquettish sounds of Feng Qing'er, she felt overwhelmed.

She was proficient in the art of alchemy, and to this day, she remained a virgin.

"Apologize?"

"If you want to apologize, this is still not enough," Xu Ran said with a wicked smile, and with a wave of his hand, Cao Ying was pulled over to his side.

Cao Ying swallowed hard, her thoughts even more disordered.

She understood what Xu Ran meant; for her, this could also be an opportunity, could it not?

If she could gain Xu Ran's favor, not only her, but the Cao Family wouldn't need to be so fearful anymore.

"Qing'er, you should step down. Your bloodline has already returned to the old ways; you need to calm your mind and meditate," Xu Ran said.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er got off Xu Ran's body, sat cross-legged, and felt the changes in her bloodline, her joy uncontainable. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had not had an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix appear for a long time, and she had not expected to become the new Ancient Heavenly Phoenix of the clan so easily with Xu Ran's help.

"Lord,"

Cao Ying, her face flushed, took Feng Qing'er's previous place and lay on Xu Ran's body.

Xu Ran did not mistreat Cao Ying and gave her a portion of the same alchemist legacy.

"Brother Ran," Cao Ying lay on Xu Ran's body, her eyes full of adoration.

She glanced gratefully at Feng Qing'er.

If it weren't for Feng Qing'er needing to receive her Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline midway, Xu Ran might not necessarily have favored her this time.

She was grateful.

The chance to serve a Dou Di did not come to just anyone. Even if Xu Ran did not harbor strong feelings for her, she was already quite content.

Moreover, the gifts from Xu Ran were enough for her to advance to a Ninth Grade Alchemist without any bottlenecks in the future.
