Chapter 859: Chapter 856 Affection of the Goddess of Kindness_1
"Xu Ran, no matter what, if you help me, I will do my best to keep you safe."
"If I cannot keep you safe, I will also protect those around you, ensuring their peace for a lifetime." The Goddess of Kindness's eyes were filled with solemnity and determination. It was evident that she was not lying, and her words came from the heart.
As the Goddess of Kindness, cultivating the Power of Benevolence, her thoughts could not possibly contain any malicious intent. Even the most vile of creatures, if bathed daily in the Power of Benevolence, would transform into beings of the utmost purity and goodness—let alone the Goddess of Kindness, who oversaw benevolence itself.
"Even if the Destruction God and the Evil God wish to kill me, it would not be so easy. If I could be killed that easily, I would have perished long ago." Xu Ran possessed a pride all his own. In fact, he felt no fear even when facing a Divine King. Many who sought his life had only found their own ends instead.
However, the ones he was up against were not just a few Divine Kings, but all the gods.
What he desired was to rule alone in the Divine Realm, which required infringing upon the interests of all the gods.
He wanted all his women to ascend to godhood; he couldn't care less about some worthless Divine Realm. The gods were not all that virtuous either. In terms of morals, the gods were no match for the people by his side.
Whether it was Xiaowu, Zhu Qing, or even Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue, their character was commendable and their talents were not lacking. Even if they became gods, it would not impact the future of the Divine Realm.
The Goddess of Kindness had no idea about Xu Ran's wild ambition.
If she knew, she would probably consider Xu Ran to be the most despicable person in the entire world.
At the moment, in the eyes of the Goddess of Kindness, Xu Ran was exceedingly talented, a rare gem of a person. It was only because of his excessive genius that he had invited calamity upon himself.
In the view of the Destruction God and the Evil God, Xu Ran needed to be eliminated.
This was indisputable.
If Xu Ran were in their position, he would probably act even more ruthlessly. Everyone was defending their own interests; there was no clear-cut right or wrong.
Instead, the kindness of the Goddess of Benevolence bordered on folly.
As the saying goes, 'Long hair, short wit'...
Ahem. Nevertheless, Xu Ran felt that it was better for a girl to remain kind and simple.
His women did not need to face so many trials and tribulations, so why require so many schemes?
The more cunning one is, the less comfortable it is to be her husband, always needing to be on guard.
But it's different for those with beauty and no brains; one can not only enjoy their company physically but also have no worries or burdens mentally.
Take the Goddess of Kindness for example, her utmost benevolent divine power made her somewhat...
Very generous!
And so easy to deceive!
Powerful!
And a top-ranked Divine King in the Divine Realm!
Is this not the ideal lover?
Most importantly, with such a personality as the Goddess of Kindness, pure and genuine, if she were to become a wife, she would surely be gentle and adept, a good teacher and mother.
Xu Ran couldn't help but survey the Goddess of Kindness's body, appraising her in his mind.
Although his standards of beauty had risen substantially over the years and there were few on the Continent that caught his eye, an existence like the Goddess of Kindness still set his heart ablaze and stirred numerous thoughts.
As a goddess, her figure was naturally flawless, the golden ratio of her body wrapped in a white dress, like a water lily—cool and enchanting.
"Xu Ran, why are you looking at me like that?"
The Goddess of Kindness's cheeks flushed slightly as she glared at Xu Ran with feigned annoyance.
Although she had a favorable impression of Xu Ran, it was just a kind of pity. After all, being targeted by both the Destruction God and the Evil God, with two Divine Kings wanting to extinguish the life of Xu Ran, a Lower Realm Soul Master, made her feel indignant on Xu Ran's behalf and also increased her fondness for him.
But this kind of fondness wasn't the affection between a man and a woman.
Seeing Xu Ran's gaze constantly on her, especially on some sensitive parts, made her somewhat at a loss.
In the Divine Realm, all the gods revered her and dared not overstep their boundaries, let alone eye her with such fiery stares.
In the Divine Realm, the Destruction God was temperamental.
And the Evil God was extremely malevolent, with ordinary gods preferring to provoke the Destruction God rather than daring to offend the Evil God.
In fact, one could tell a lot about the character of the gods from their godhood. These traits were mostly influenced by their Divine Power. This was especially true for the gods of emotion, whose characteristics were completely aligned with their godhood.
The mere touch of the aura of the Evil God had created soul beasts like the dark and sinister Dark Evil Tiger. Not to mention that the Evil God was the Divine King in charge of all things evil.
Who would dare to cast such a heated glance at Shan Liang, would surely incur the wrath of the Evil God.
Thus, even though the Goddess of Kindness was as beautiful as a flower, she was like a lonely water lily in the Divine Realm, admired by no one.
Suddenly under the impolite gaze of Xu Ran, the Goddess of Kindness naturally felt extremely ashamed and angered.
"I thought you were a gentleman. I didn't expect you to be such a lecher," said the Goddess of Kindness, after warning Xu Ran, and seeing that he still gazed at her sensitive areas, her beautiful eyes fiercely glared at him.
"Guan Guan cries the osprey, on the islet in the river. The fair, virtuous lady, a gentleman's good match."
"Goddess, you are so beautiful that, even though I have seen many beauties on the Continent, I can't help but yearn for you upon seeing your divine visage. Your beauty, Goddess, cannot be compared to the mundane rouge and powder of the mortal world," praised Xu Ran.
These words made the Goddess of Kindness feel much better.
Made to feel as if she were floating on air.
Even as a goddess, she was no different from ordinary women, all of whom like to be praised for their beauty.
Xu Ran's words had made her feelings of fondness for him surge dramatically.
Even though she knew she was beautiful, as a goddess was naturally won't to be, knowing it herself and hearing it from someone else were two different matters.
Everyone has vanity, and wasn't the Life Goddess once flattered by Xu Ran to the point of being beside herself?
Sometimes, even gods can be pitiable, perhaps lacking even the things normal people take for granted.
In the Divine Realm, naturally, no one dared to flatter the Goddess of Kindness. Otherwise, if the Evil God found out, wouldn't it be like courting death, thinking someone was flirting with the Goddess of Kindness?
As the Evil God, his actions certainly lived up to the name of evil.
Even if the Evil God knew of the Goddess of Kindness's heavenly beauty, he was probably not the kind to give compliments.
Therefore, it was the first time the Goddess of Kindness had been praised to such an extent, and her good feelings toward Xu Ran naturally soared.
If the Evil God knew how easily Xu Ran managed to win the Goddess of Kindness's favor, he would probably die of anger. But then, they didn't understand that women are emotional beings.
A flower so delicate naturally needs someone to appreciate and extol it.
"Pfft"
"The Divine Realm has labeled you as a calamity, but I see you are not as bad as the gods say," she said.
"However, these words, you must often say them to other girls," she teased.
The Goddess of Kindness graced him with a smile that could overturn a city. Her impression of Xu Ran was already not bad, and now she felt he was a very good person indeed.
Women are emotional creatures, after all! If they think you are good, then you are good.
