Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Ah, cultivation practice is so boring; there are no pretty ladies to brighten up the day," Xu Ran sighed, practicing his soul skills in the suburbs of Xingluo City.

He could now skillfully apply his soul skills. His Second Soul Skill, Star Concealment, allowed him to hide his presence and briefly merge with the surrounding space. Moreover, it was even more effective under the starry night. With a strong Martial Soul and such a stealthy soul skill, he could kill without a trace.

If he combined it with his first soul skill, Xu Ran felt even a Soul Ancestor wouldn't be his match. After all, if your opponent suddenly disappeared and then reappeared with a powerful move, not many could react in time.

His Third Soul Skill, Sword Qi Across the Sky, was an area-of-effect group soul skill that could unleash countless sword energies, making it a wide-ranging attack skill.

Having mastered his soul skills, Xu Ran started to feel somewhat bored. He wasn't fond of fighting and killing; his reason for coming to this plane was to pursue many beautiful girls and then lead a happy life.

"Host Brother can go after Zhu Zhuqing now. Given your talent, the Zhu Clan would strive to meet any demands you make. They might even agree to those kinds of requests," the System's pleasant voice sounded.

"What kind of requests?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up as he pretended to be as dumb as wood.

"Hmph, shameless Host, still pretending," Miss System let out a light spit, her cheeks blushing slightly as she wasn't clear on the meaning of those words; she only wanted the best for the Host.

As a System, her primary mission was to do her utmost to satisfy the Host and allow him to do as he pleased in the world he had crossed into.

"By the way, Host, why didn't you continue to strike while the iron is hot and go find Zhu Qing? The System can detect that she has some different feelings for the Host," the System inquired, a beautiful creation, but still unaware of human affairs.

"You wouldn't understand. I need to give Zhu Qing some time alone. Distance creates beauty, you know? If I leave, her heart will start to waver," Xu Ran said with a smile. Being together all the time is not cherished, and feelings fade if apart for too long. It is only by keeping an appropriate distance that one can remain irresistible.

"Host is so amazing," Miss System praised with a gentle smile. She might not understand, but it sounded very impactful.

"Right, System, can you transform into a human form?" Xu Ran asked with a meaningful smile. He was always curious; such an intelligent Miss System should be able to take on a human form, right?

And since Miss System's voice was so pleasant, she might also be an extremely beautiful woman if she transformed.

At the very least, she would be fair-skinned and have long, beautiful legs.

"I can, oh. But it costs ten thousand Skill Points to show my face, and one hundred thousand Skill Points to transform fully into a human," she replied.

"The System exists to serve the Host. If I transform, I can serve you much better. Besides, the System's strength is formidable; I could also protect the Host if I were to transform," the System's voice carried a hint of temptation. In the System Space, she wore a pale blue floral dress, standing in front of a tall mirror, lightly tapping her feet and twirling, her skirt fluttering with intricately embroidered patterns, revealing her pale, slender legs.

She looked over her figure with a satisfied smile. As the System, she was the most beautiful.

"But that's a bit too expensive. Ten thousand Skill Points just to see your face; that's looking down on people," Xu Ran complained, suddenly realizing how poor he was, without a single Skill Point to his name. Even if he finished that mission, he would only get a hundred Skill Points. One hundred thousand was just too much; it would be difficult for him to transform Miss System into a human form even if he wanted to.

"Don't be discouraged, Host. As long as you complete missions diligently, you'll quickly save up enough Skill Points," the System reminded him.

"Then forget it; I'd rather use my Skill Points on soul skills. First, I should increase the years of my Soul Rings. If all else fails, I can still draw a lottery. Skill Points are hard to come by; they shouldn't be spent so carelessly," Xu Ran said with a mischievous grin.

Right now, he didn't know what Miss System looked like, and it would cost ten thousand Skill Points just to see her face. Better to forget it.

What if she turned out to look like Qiao Mei Mei? A pleasant voice doesn't guarantee anything. Qiao Mei Mei was still the one who ran away with a train over her shoulders in the middle of the night.

"No, Host Brother, you can't be so bad," Miss System's voice came, a bit angry. She was so pretty, with perfect curves and such long legs, yet the Host treated her like that.

"When I have enough Skill Points, I'll let you transform. My strength is too low right now," Xu Ran stopped teasing the System. He knew that if he allowed Miss System to transform, he would gain an extremely powerful ally. If he had enough Points, of course, he would want her to.

"Enough talk, it's time to go see Zhu Qing."

"After catching Zhu Qing's attention, I'll have to go see Xiaowu. Xiaowu is also a nice girl. And, if I win her over, Tang San is going to have a tough time," he mused.

...

By this time, it was getting late.

Zhu Zhuqing was sitting alone on a flat boulder on the back mountain, enjoying the quietness around her. The surroundings were full of the colors of chirping insects, with the sound of a cool breeze blowing.

The girl wore a black gauze dress, her jet-black, glossy hair cascading over her shoulders as it fluttered in the night breeze. She hugged her knees to herself, sitting alone and savoring the tranquility of the night.

For some time now, when she was alone, she liked to sit here and admire the night.

It was very dark, and she was all alone, but she was fine with it.

Plus, she was a bit happy today because she knew someone liked her, cared for her, and that was enough.

However, she would no longer interact with Xu Ran, nor would she let him get hurt because of her. Xu Ran had great talent, even better than hers, and his future was boundless. He must not be dragged down by her.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes looked towards the sky, the moon shining bright, casting a pure, white halo. As she resolved herself, her heart couldn't help but feel a touch of sorrow. She, too, longed to be just an ordinary girl, full of happiness. But she couldn't be too selfish.

She was Zhu Zhuqing, and these were not things she ought to long for.

In a few months, she would go to find Dai Mubai. If Dai Mubai was still the same, then she would just leave on her own. After all, if she left this world, it wouldn't affect anything.

That way, her sister could be the queen of the Xingluo Empire without worrying about any mishaps. The Zhu Clan would go on as usual. As for Xu Ran, he would also proceed normally to find a pretty girl to marry and start a family.
