Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"System, is this medicine really effective?" Xu Ran asked the System with a sense of responsibility for Ma Hongjun. If the medicinal effects were too intense, that could be problematic.

Even if Ma Hongjun was no good, at least he still addressed Xu Ran as Brother Ran.

"'Host' bro, how am I supposed to answer that? This reward was originally intended for your use. Don't you know what you've put those girls through after all you've done?" Miss System said irritably, inadvertently giving Xu Ran a withering look.

She knew that the 'Host' would become very strong once he acquired the Kirin Bloodline, which is why she had issued this as a reward.

After all, now that Brother 'Host' has the Kirin Bloodline, his 'Life' is at a higher level than that of ordinary humans, and both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiaowu would naturally struggle to keep up with Xu Ran's pace.

"No way, absolutely not," Xu Ran shook his head vehemently. What did Miss System know? He would rather restrain himself in the future than consume that stuff. Miss System wasn't human, how could she understand what a man thinks?

However, if Ma Hongjun used this thing, he might very well become a god in this lifetime.

In the original story, the fact that Ma Hongjun couldn't achieve First-Level God status was largely related to his depleted body. As long as he ate this, Xu Ran could pretty much guarantee that this little brother Ma Hongjun would become a god.

"Well, in that case, it might not be so bad. It could really help Ma Hongjun with his problem. This medicine is prepared for the 'Host,' and it's not meant to harm the 'Host.' However, Ma Hongjun's body is a lot weaker than Brother 'Host's', so he might be more affected, but not to the extent that not even a drop could come out," Miss System explained, her face blushing as she refrained from delving further into this topic.

Even though she was the System, she was still a girl and felt shy about such matters.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem," Xu Ran nodded.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun had the medicine bottle Xu Ran handed him tightly in his grasp, his entire body trembling. He hadn't expected Brother Ran to actually have a way to help him.

"I don't have a solution for your Blazing Fire issues at the moment, but I'll attempt it if there's a chance in the future," Xu Ran explained, a sudden thought crossing his mind. Wouldn't this be a perfect excuse to meet up with Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu for a 'date'? Wouldn't that be delightful?

Every girl at Tianshui College was quite pretty. After all, Tianshui College had three recruitment criteria: Water attribute, beauty, and aptitude. It could be said that Tianshui College was filled with beautiful girls, especially Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu.

However, only Huo Wu stood out a bit in Fiery Flame College.

"Thank you, Brother Ran. From now on, you are my brother, my real brother," Ma Hongjun cautiously stored the medicine bottle, then excitedly said. At this moment, he was unaware that Xu Ran mentioning the solution to his fire issues was just an excuse to use him as a tool for Xu Ran to go chase girls.

By the time he realized the truth, he could only wait silently in the dormitory for Xu Ran's return, with nothing but tears to show for it.

"Two pills per meal, twice a day," Xu Ran instructed Ma Hongjun. The medicine was very strong, and there could be trouble if Ma Hongjun downed it all at once.

"Got it, Brother Ran," Ma Hongjun casually agreed, his excitement so intense that it was uncertain whether he took Xu Ran's words to heart. All he knew was that he wouldn't be bothered by that problem anymore from now on.

"Cuihua, now you surely won't want to break up with me, right? Brother Ran will help us," Ma Hongjun said, looking at the girl clad in coarse cloth who had a stunning figure not far away, unable to help himself from speaking out.

He was one of the first to come to Shrek Academy, and when he wasn't very strong, he often played in the nearby villages. Cuihua, as the village beauty of a neighboring village, had given him a sense of vague beauty during his adolescence.

Although Cuihua wasn't particularly beautiful now, the innocent and ignorant thrills he felt from secretly watching her, a sensation that no other woman could bring, were irreplaceable.

"Wait until you take your medicine, and then we'll talk," Cuihua's heart softened upon seeing the situation. Ma Hongjun was a noble Soul Master, a supreme existence to them commoners. If her body hadn't been at its limit, she never would have decided to break up with Ma Hongjun.

Having a Soul Master husband was an endless glory, and Ma Hongjun wasn't just any ordinary Soul Master.

"Alright. Don't worry, the stuff Brother Ran gives you will definitely work," Ma Hongjun had absolute trust in Xu Ran. Just yesterday, Xu Ran casually wrote a poem, leading to an epiphany for everyone at Shrek Academy, from which all benefited.

Such ability could only be described as terrifying.

Therefore, Xu Ran was now an omnipotent figure in Ma Hongjun's heart.

At least in his view, the minor issues he was experiencing were certainly fixable by Xu Ran.

"Brother Ran, Cuihua and I will go try the medicine now," Ma Hongjun greeted Xu Ran before pulling Cuihua downstairs with him.

Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing didn't delay any further and went straight to the canteen to quickly finish their meal, then had the canteen lady pack some chicken soup and a few vegetarian dishes.

By the time Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the dormitory, Xiaowu had already woken up, her eyes dull as she stared at the ceiling, still lying in bed. It wasn't that she didn't want to get up; she simply couldn't.

She had felt a bit better last night and had managed to sleep for a while, but then her whole body began to ache, and she could hardly muster any strength at all.

She couldn't help feeling annoyed, men's words are deceitful lies. Not a single word from a man is true.

"Xiaowu, you're awake?" Xu Ran walked into the room and seeing Xiaowu awake, he asked with concern.

"Hmph. Where have you been for so long?" Xiaowu snorted softly, turning her head away and looking at Xu Ran with irritation.

"I went to get your meal. I was worried you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I asked the canteen lady to cook something delicious especially for you," Xu Ran explained, placing the packed food on the table and then helping Xiaowu sit up.

"Ah." A soft moan escaped Xiaowu, her face twisted in pain.

"Don't touch me," Xiaowu blinked her pitifully large eyes and said in a wronged tone.

"Does it hurt that much?" Xu Ran looked at Xiaowu with pity, realizing that perhaps he had been too rough. No wonder the System had given him that item during the prize draw.

"What do you think?" Xiaowu retorted sweetly.

"What should we do now?" Even if he regretted it now, it was too late. Xiaowu couldn't just lie there without eating anything, could she?

"Xu Ran, leave. I'll take care of Xiaowu," Zhu Zhuqing appeared from outside the door, pulling Xu Ran out and then closing the door behind her. She knew all too well about Xiaowu's current state, having experienced it deeply herself the last time.

However, she had eventually started to grasp Xu Ran's thoughts. If things got too much, she just needed to act a bit more pitiful, and then Xu Ran would stop. But Xiaowu had not mastered this technique yet.
