Chapter 199: Chapter 198: Only Fine Wine and Beautiful Women Are Not to Be Missed
"I'm becoming more and more curious about your origins. Is there truly a power on this continent so mysterious that even I know nothing of it?" Bingdi's emerald-green eyes, as bright as gemstones, stared deeply at Qian Ran.
"Are you the illegitimate son of some god-king in the Divine Realm?" she ventured.
"You're really good at guessing, but is that even possible?" Qian Ran replied helplessly.
"It's quite possible. Otherwise, how could you know so much about the Divine Realm?" Bingdi said with conviction. Not only was Qian Ran familiar with many secrets of the Divine Realm, but he also knew intricate details about the events of a thousand years ago, back in the time of Tang San and his generation.
"In time, you'll understand." Qian Ran offered a slight smile. He couldn't very well reveal he was a transmigrator, nor could he disclose the existence of his system; it would only tarnish his mystique.
As a transmigrator, maintaining a sense of grandeur was essential.
Good grief, if they knew all his powers were thanks to a system, wouldn't that ruin his image in their eyes?
"Hmph. You're quite generous with them, giving away such a powerful spirit beast," Bingdi remarked. Even she had a strong interest in a ferocious beast like the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger. Once matured, this young beast would undoubtedly become one of the strongest entities on the continent.
"I'm equally generous to all of you," Qian Ran said, holding Bingdi's hand, gently rubbing her delicate skin.
Hearing this, Bingdi pursed her lips but acknowledged Qian Ran's fairness. Although Qian Ran was flirtatious, he was generous with any woman who had shared intimacy with him, and his greatest merit was his even-handedness, never favoring one excessively over another. Of course, it would be unrealistic to claim he had no partiality, but managing to balance his affections to this extent was rare indeed.
Qian Ran did have a conscience; if his women constantly looked at him with melancholy and resentment, his conscience would prick him.
Of course, his kindness toward them also stemmed from the culture of this world.
Though he had gifted them many treasures, they were all "his" in a sense, so he naturally felt generous. If he were still in his previous life, he would have adhered to the principle: "Money is for showing to women, not for spending on them."
It could only be said that societal norms differ from world to world, and thus, Qian Ran's behavior adjusted accordingly.
"What about the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger? It's a dark beast, and once it's fully grown, it won't be so easy to control."
"Are you doubting your man's abilities?" Qian Ran replied, unfazed. Since it was a reward from the system, he had long since established an unequal master-servant bond with the beast, making it impossible for it to escape his control.
"Hmph. I'm not afraid of you."
"After spending so much time with Zhu Lu last night, who knows if you're still up to it?" Bingdi instantly blushed upon noticing Qian Ran's mischievous gaze. Having spent so many days in the human world with Qian Ran, she could now grasp the hidden meanings in his occasional words.
With her keen sense of hearing, Bingdi knew that Qian Ran had pushed Zhu Lu to her limits the previous day. He hadn't shown Zhu Lu any mercy. Zhu Lu was only able to walk normally now because Qian Ran had used his healing soul skill.
Thinking of this, Bingdi's face flushed an even deeper shade.
Qian Ran, without hesitation, pulled Bingdi into his embrace, raising her shirt to her waist as he caressed her toned, alluring abdomen. Bingdi instinctively arched her back, and her once-icy face grew hazy.
Bingdi truly had an excellent figure; if she were taller, she could be the quintessential icy goddess.
But for now, she was a petite girl.
And with Bingdi's outwardly cold and proud demeanor, coupled with her soft and even gentle heart, Qian Ran found himself captivated.
He drew her arms behind her back and used a ribbon to tie her wrists together. Of course, there was no way such a restraint could truly bind this Super Douluo; it was purely for the fun of it.
"Stupid Qian Ran, what are you trying to do now?" Bingdi glared at him, feigning composure.
Seeing her shy yet defiant expression, Qian Ran smirked mischievously. Taking out a bottle of red wine, he shook it lightly. "I feel like having a drink."
Qian Ran loved chilled wine, and any drink chilled by Bingdi became an exquisite elixir. Sometimes, when he wanted fruit, he would also go to Bingdi.
"Hmph."
With a soft snort, Bingdi tilted her head back and slightly parted her lips.
With a "pop," Qian Ran uncorked the bottle, and Bingdi took a sip, savoring the taste as her throat moved rhythmically, displaying a look of enjoyment. She only took a small sip, letting the wine pool in her mouth without swallowing.
The rich fragrance of the wine spilled over, staining her clothes with small, messy spots.
"Truly a delicacy."
Qian Ran pressed a deep kiss onto Bingdi, the taste of the wine filling him with a deep sense of satisfaction.
Bingdi leaned weakly against Qian Ran, looking into his eyes with affection. After a moment, she steadied herself and regained her composure.
"You humans are all despicable." After Qian Ran relished the taste for a while, Bingdi finally grew displeased. She had no intention of completely giving in to his every whim. This rascal came up with new tricks every day; she, as pure as ice, would not let him have his way.
Snatching the half-full bottle of wine, she enjoyed it alone.
While uninterested in human food, Bingdi had a fondness for fine wines.
Top-tier wines, brewed with rare treasures, not only tasted delightful but were also beneficial for cultivation.
While Qian Ran was caught up in his excitement, wondering why Bingdi had suddenly stopped cooperating, he noticed Zhou Yi approaching.
Bingdi was visibly displeased with Zhou Yi. These days, Qian Ran frequently visited Zhou Yi, leaving Bingdi with less time by his side. By now, Bingdi was aware that Zhou Yi, with her seductive charms, had a knack for keeping Qian Ran entertained with her unique ways, which left Bingdi feeling quietly resentful.
Her gaze toward Zhou Yi was icy, sending a chill through Zhou Yi's body.
Zhou Yi felt as though this stunning girl beside Qian Ran was like a wild beast, causing her to break into a cold sweat.
"Don't be difficult."
"Hmph."
Bingdi turned her head away, pouting.
Seeing Zhou Yi's anxious expression, Qian Ran was surprised and stepped forward.
"What's wrong?"
"Dai Huabin has exposed our relationship; even Mu Jin knows about it." This morning at the academy, Mu Jin had confronted Zhou Yi, hinting at the affair to gauge her reaction. Although Zhou Yi had shot back with a few retorts, she still felt a growing sense of crisis.
If this truly came to light, she would have no face left.
Mu Jin disliked her deeply and would certainly seize any opportunity to dig up evidence. How could she hope to keep her relationship with Qian Ran a secret if that happened?
Flustered, Zhou Yi had no choice but to come to Qian Ran for a plan.
