However, Xu Ran was still controlling his strength. He really couldn't bear to give Rongrong a beating, considering Ning Rongrong's physique, this was nothing serious at all. Would she have the guts to talk back to Xu Ran if it really hurt?
Xu Ran was aiming for a psychological victory. Losing face in front of her sisters was far worse than getting beaten up, at least that's what Xu Ran believed.
But what Xu Ran didn't know was that while this tactic did work at first, Rongrong got used to the embarrassment and even began to enjoy it, though she would never admit it outwardly.
"Alright, alright, good brother, Rongrong was wrong, okay? Stop hitting me," Ning Rongrong said with eyes sultry as silk. From her expression, anyone could tell that this was not the face of someone getting beaten up—it was sheer enjoyment! If you're going to pretend, at least do a convincing job, will you?
"You really know what you did wrong?" Ning Rongrong's beguiling, water-like eyes made Xu Ran somewhat embarrassed, forcing him to hunch over just to avoid an indecent posture.
"I really do. If Rongrong makes a mistake again in the future, you can just tie me up and beat me," Ning Rongrong pouted. Those words behind made Xu Ran feel it was a bit outrageous, wasn't it?
Cough cough...
But since Ning Rongrong had made the request, he naturally would comply with her wishes. So, next time...
"Fine, we'll do that next time," Xu Ran helped Ning Rongrong up, and she quickly covered her flushed, fragrant buttocks, rubbed it hard, and hurriedly let her skirt fall down as she ran back to her place.
So embarrassing.
Losing face in front of the newcomers.
But why didn't she feel unhappy at all?
Xiaowu and Zhu Qing, who were very close to Rongrong, all had peculiar looks on their faces as they watched Ning Rongrong. It seemed Rongrong had completely fallen.
"Alright, everyone, let's introduce ourselves," after the farce, Xu Ran pointed to Xiaowu and suggested starting with her.
"My name is Xiaowu, as in the dance 'wu'..."
"My name is Ning Rongrong, my ability is..."
One by one, the women stood up and not only introduced their names but also their various unusual abilities.
Even Ya Fei and Xun Er, who had known them for a long time, were visibly shaken.
This was truly astonishing.
Almost everyone excelled at something, and that was the most terrifying part. Were these really normal cultivators? Their unusual abilities alone were enough to drive the world mad.
Because of their Martial Souls, the powers of those who came from the Divine Realm were special.
If Gu Yuena hadn't taken the Soul Beast God elsewhere to campaign, those with soul beast identities in this place might have been even more astonished.
Initially, Xun Er and the others were shocked by their appearances, but now their hearts were even more tumultuous.
Who on earth does Xu Ran know? Any of these people, if brought out into the world, would be among the most exceptional. More importantly, all these people have nonchalantly become Xu Ran's wives.
The attraction that Xu Ran has for women is even stronger than they imagined.
After about an hour and a half, all the ladies' self-introductions finally slowly came to an end.
However, none of them found it boring at all; understanding the abilities of their companions would be of great help to them in the future. Especially the supportive abilities of Ning Rongrong and the healing powers of the Life Goddess, as well as the Goddess of Kindness who could completely avoid inner demons.
Of course, the likes of Queen Medusa, Yun Yun, Xun Er, Ya Fei only gained a preliminary understanding of these abilities. They didn't know how outrageously powerful these abilities could be.
Take, for example, the healing ability of the Life Goddess. The way the Life Goddess nonchalantly described it made them first think of low-level elixirs like hemostatic pills. What would they feel if they knew that the Life Goddess could bring people back from death and mend bones from flesh? Even if she wasn't a Dou Di in this world, the specialties she possessed were unaffected.
"I know you all have many questions, and I will tell you in time," said Xu Ran to Xun Er and the others. At this moment, they were staring in shock, not just at Xiaowu and the others' strength, but also because of their special functions.
This truly shook them to the core.
Each person in this group had different skills, and together they formed a combination that was simply unbeatable.
However, they quickly erased the shocked expressions from their faces. Queen Medusa and Yun Yun stopped arguing as well. They needed to work even harder; otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to always be suppressed by others. Since they couldn't compete with those people in other areas, they needed to work harder and quickly catch up in terms of strength.
At this moment, they realized their own weakness. Although they were excellent compared to most people in this world, each of their rivals around them were formidable. They definitely did not want a day to come when these people could snatch away Xu Ran from them without them even having the courage to compete.
Next, Xu Ran caught up on the development of Xu Sect these days, and also the cultivation progress of everyone. He arranged for Xiao Yi Xian to join Xu Sect and take charge of concocting ordinary elixirs, while he himself would forge those of higher grades.
"Yiran, you will be responsible for training Cai Lin, Qing Lin, and Yue Mei," Xu Ran said, looking down at Meng Yiran. Now a Serpent God, Meng Yiran's divine blood alone, just a drop of it, could be of great benefit to Cai Lin and the others.
"Yanzi, you help Little Fairy with her cultivation. With her Calamity Poison Body, she can rapidly increase her 'Cultivation Level' by consuming poison. You should have many poisons suitable for her," Xu Ran said with a smile, pointing at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, and naturally, she had no objections.
"So, next..."
"Hehehe..."
Xu Ran's gaze suddenly turned mischievous. They knew Xu Ran all too well, and from his expression, they could guess what he wanted to do next.
Some immediately thought of rushing out, but by then the doors had been completely locked. Even the walls, originally built of stone, became incredibly hard, so hard that none of them could break through.
All of them sensed trouble, glaring at Xu Ran with angry eyes, pointing at him and cursing in embarrassment.
What Xu Ran wanted to do next was self-evident.
All of them were locked in this room, and with Xu Ran, the big bad wolf in their midst, it was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep; what good could come of it?
"Thinking of running? No chance, my wives, here I come..." Xu Ran, with his eyes closed, lunged forward. With so many people crowded together, he could grab a few no matter where he reached—who would be the lucky ones?
