"Sister, I missed you so much."
After a moment of stupefaction, Han Xue threw herself into Han Yue's arms.
Regardless, the affection between Han Yue and Han Xue ran deep.
If she had to choose between Xu Ran and Han Yue, Han Xue would definitely choose Han Yue at this moment. Xu Ran was not so narcissistic as to think he could make a girl like him to the point of losing her mind.
If it really came to that, he doubted he would be able to like that kind of person anyway.
However, he could slowly improve his standing in Han Xue's heart.
"I missed you too, Xue'er," Han Yue embraced Han Xue tightly, her eyes brimming with tears as well. Seeing those guys from the Hong Family get killed by Xu Ran, she didn't know how thrilled she was. Who would dare harbor those vile thoughts towards them in Zhongzhou now?
Competing with a Dou Di over a woman?
"Sister, what on earth is going on? Who is he?" Han Xue looked towards Xu Ran with trepidation. In her heart, she already had an answer. If two people were in a romantic relationship, the vibe between them would be completely different.
"He..."
Han Yue glanced deeply at Xu Ran, at a loss for words, and could only stare at him with her beautiful eyes.
This bad guy, really, he's detestable to the extreme.
And to think she had once believed Xu Ran was a true gentleman!
"No need to say it, I already know," Han Xue, who had grown up with Han Yue, could figure it out just from her sister's expression. Could it be that Xu Ran was actually her sister's boyfriend?
If that was the case, why would Xu Ran still come to bother her?
Could it be that Xu Ran was that kind of bad man?
But did sister know his true nature? Yet he had just saved her, should she now repay kindness with grievances?
Thinking of the scene where Xu Ran had held her and slaughtered everything, ripples uncontrollably stirred in her heart.
But the pain was even greater. The person her heart yearned for was actually Han Yue's boyfriend—how ironic was that?
"Who is this?" Han Xue turned to look at Xin Lan.
This woman, whose looks were not inferior to theirs, caught her eye several times; such a naturally beautiful and intelligent-looking woman was rare to come by.
"Her name is Xin Lan, a Four-Star Alchemist, and a friend of mine from Canaan Academy," introduced Han Yue. Seeing her sister suddenly become so downcast, she couldn't help but move closer to Xu Ran and stealthily pinched him.
This man really made her feel both love and hatred.
Xu Ran's ways with women were too perverse, giving her the ultimate happiness and yet making her somewhat afraid. If she fell so deeply, were not others the same?
Being with a romantic and talented charmer was certainly delightful, but one must also endure his flirtatiousness.
There's no need to worry about a faithful man initiating dalliances with others, but then, women don't like those kinds of men.
Talk about infuriating.
"Such a young Four-Star Alchemist?" Han Xue drew in a sharp breath. Advancing in the ranks of Alchemist was much more troublesome than cultivating, mastering all that knowledge wasn't an easy task. Han Xue was well aware of what a young Four-Star Alchemist represented.
Even that Hong Chen can't compare to Xin Lan's talent.
"Xu Ran, Xin Lan, I have something to talk about with Xue'er, so I won't be able to entertain you both for now. Do whatever you want to do," Han Yue cleared her throat before teasingly speaking.
She understood that Han Xue had many questions to ask at this moment, but it wasn't quite the right time. Conveniently, she also wanted to clarify those matters.
After speaking, Han Yue took Han Xue's hand and headed towards the carriage.
At this moment, Han Chong and the others were still dealing with Xia Mang's corpse. A Dou Huang level Magical Beast's body was full of treasures, so the journey would be delayed for a while.
"This Han Yue, she isn't serious at all!"
"She herself plays around so much and still has the nerve to talk about others."
Xin Lan stared dumbfounded as Han Yue took Han Xue away to catch up, intentionally making fun and embarrassing her as they left.
Compared to Han Yue, she was quite reserved. This also related to an Alchemist's temperament. If you had a girlfriend who was into research or science, you would understand what that feels like.
However, the experience that should be had, Xin Lan had never missed out on.
"Hehe, let's go, it looks like we have plenty of time." Xu Ran laughed, with one arm around Xin Lan's jade back and the other hooking her leg, he lifted her by her waist.
"Don't, be careful of being seen."
Xin Lan, feeling like a thief with a guilty conscience, glanced over at Han Chong and the others. Those people were meticulously cutting the six-level Magical Beast's skin and had no time to spare them a glance.
"It doesn't matter if they see it, can't I hold my wife? We're not doing anything right now," Xu Ran teased, watching Xin Lan's face grow redder and her body become softer, his playful mood intensified.
"That's not okay either. If you're thinking about it, then hurry and find a place where no one is around first," Xin Lan said with a blushing face. She almost wanted to slap herself for uttering such shameful words. How could she, a girl, even say such things? And that kind of matter, how could she bring it up before Xu Ran?
But she would rather choose the latter. Being held so intimately by Xu Ran, even if nothing was done, she would still feel somewhat embarrassed if seen by others. As for the rest, as long as only she and Xu Ran knew, she didn't care.
After all, during these days with Xu Ran, she had completely belonged to him. In other words, what part of her hadn't Xu Ran touched?
"As you wish, my beautiful Xin Lan!"
Xu Ran lightly pushed off with his toes, riding the wind as if on an ethereal plane, and disappeared from the space in an instant, then arrived at an oasis. The grass was better, as he feared hurting the delicate skin of his beauty.
...
Han Xue and Han Yue held hands, looking at each other for a long while, neither speaking.
The air became very calm, neither knowing what to say.
Also, the sisters each had their own thoughts, of course, what they cared about most was related to Xu Ran.
"Is that Xu Ran also from Canaan Academy? Did you get together with him while in Canaan Academy?" Han Xue finally couldn't help herself and asked. She was very curious about everything concerning Xu Ran.
"And what about Xin Lan? What is her relationship with Xu Ran? I think their relationship must be out of the ordinary," Han Xue instantly lost heart upon receiving a confirming answer from Han Yue and stored that unrealistic thought deep in her heart.
"Her relationship with him is the same as mine with him," Han Yue said with a bitter smile.
She never would have dreamed before being with Xu Ran that one day she would share a husband with other people. Even less did she imagine she would share a husband with so many outstanding women. But it happened, and she even felt like she was the one benefiting from it.
