Two hours later.
"This beautiful night, the moonlight dappled, this bamboo forest scene is just right..."
"I wonder, beautiful maiden, would you be willing to share my bed?"
Lin Ran held a bouquet of pure white flowers in his left hand and gently put his arm around Luo Qingyan's slender waist with his right, leaning his face close to her earlobe.
A flush instantly spread across Luo Qingyan's delicate face:
"You rascal, what are you doing..."
"So glib..."
"Stop messing around... wait until we get back to the villa..."
Lin Ran chuckled, not answering. He suddenly squatted down, his hands reaching forward to embrace Luo Qingyan's calves.
Before Luo Qingyan could ask, Lin Ran lifted her from behind and laid her down on the soft earth in the bamboo forest.
"Hey, why make it so complicated?"
"Isn't the scenery here good enough?"
Under Lin Ran's intense gaze, Luo Qingyan was so shy she could barely speak:
"No... that's not appropriate, is it?"
"Here... here... this is too much..."
Lin Ran waved his hand dismissively:
"It doesn't matter, I've already protected this place with an illusion array, so no one from the outside can possibly spy on what's happening in the bamboo forest."
"Uh... there's one more thing..."
"Come on, put this on, good girl!"
Lin Ran produced a set of clothes from somewhere and tossed it into Luo Qingyan's arms.
Qing Jing Yan Yun University's competition uniform?!
Luo Qingyan looked at the clothes in her hands, somewhat stunned.
Could this be the one she wore today?
Lin Ran grinned:
"Everyone gets three sets of competition uniforms, I took your new one..."
"I'm not that twisted yet, okay?"
"Come on, hurry up, hurry up..."
"This outfit perfectly matches my fantasy of youth, it's perfect!"
Luo Qingyan's face was flushed, clearly quite resistant:
"I haven't even agreed to be here, and you're already fast-forwarding to changing into uniforms?!"
"No way! No way!"
Lin Ran rubbed his hands together, stretching the corners of his mouth to the maximum:
"Unfortunately, that's not up to you!"
"What I decide, I can always get it, right?"
With that, he directly used the Ope Ope no Mi's ability to help Luo Qingyan change into the competition uniform.
Then, licking his lips, he pressed Luo Qingyan down under the bamboo.
Luo Qingyan's faint cries and struggles were completely ignored by his formidable physical strength.
...
The next day.
Luo Qingyan shot a displeased glare at Lin Ran, who looked still full of desire, and huffed,
"Now it's done for... I only have two sets of my competition uniform left."
Lin Ran shook his head and swayed, then rolled up from the ground:
"It's fine, it's fine... at least there are still some left..."
"You have the power of Holy Light, washing clothes is instant, it doesn't matter."
"Last night, I might have been too excited, and my stamina was really depleted..."
"Let's go, let's get something to eat and try out the Xiang Chu cafeteria!"
Saying that, he leered and moved closer to Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan let out a cold snort and sent Lin Ran flying to the side with a Holy Light Bullet, then began to purify herself.
First, she used Holy Light to wash away the dirt on her body, then manipulated dark energy to annihilate the torn and messy competition uniform on the ground, and changed into a new set of clothes.
Lin Ran also put on a new outfit, following Luo Qingyan's example.
He glanced again at Luo Qingyan in her casual wear, looking pure and cute, and couldn't help but lick his lips again.
Frankly, the part Lin Ran found most satisfying about Luo Qingyan was her lower body.
Especially those legs, as flawless and white as fine jade, yet full of flesh...
When he carried them on his shoulders and charged forward, the smoothness and coolness from them rubbing against his shoulders and neck was simply incredibly satisfying.
Luo Qingyan, leading the way and preparing to head to the cafeteria with Lin Ran, tilted her head when she saw Lin Ran's expression.
Knowing Lin Ran extremely well, how could she not know what he was thinking?
Especially since Lin Ran's eyes had never left her legs, which were now beneath the skirt she had just put on.
So, Luo Qingyan quickly walked up to Lin Ran and pinched his cheek:
"What? Is that all you can think about now?"
"Can't you think of anything serious besides yellow content?"
Lin Ran winced in pain and patted his head, trying to clear his mind a little, then said helplessly:
"Your so-called serious business is just stuffing your face, right..."
"You clearly enjoyed yourself last night, but now you're turning your back on me once the skirt is on!"
It was strange, ever since Lin Ran awakened the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, he seemed to have become even more obsessed with such things.
Besides that, he had also gained the effect of a doubled appetite.
Thinking about it, when he obtained abilities from the fishing pool, he also seemed to inherit some personality traits from those abilities.
For example, when he first obtained the Eternal Mangekyo and the Ope Ope no Mi, Lin Ran was always like a cold-blooded killer.
He preferred to use his mind to solve problems and was very cautious and careful.
But after obtaining the Gate of Babylon, everything started to go wrong.
The large-scale madness and arrogance began around that time.
And it also made Lin Ran fall in love with "showing off."
However, Lin Ran wasn't Gilgamesh; with the power of the Godly Will backing him, he rarely died from showing off.
"Knights Don't Die Unarmed" and "Six Powers of the Navy" further exacerbated this situation.
The awakening of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and the Sharingan with tomoe completely brought Lin Ran's arrogance to its peak.
In addition, he also developed a bad habit of liking to show off.
By the way, it also brought a craving for wealth, a fascination with lust, and a need for delicious food...
After all, dragons and Madara, those who understand, understand.
Lin Ran not grabbing everyone he met by the throat and asking "Do you want to dance too?" was already considered restraint on his part.
He could only hope that the next fishing product he obtained would be something calming, to dilute his madness a bit.
If not, then continuing to be wildly arrogant wouldn't be a problem either, as he had the strength for it...
Lin Ran, lost in these miscellaneous thoughts, followed Luo Qingyan to the cafeteria.
Just then, he received an email in his bio-chip.
And the sender of this email was none other than Zhao Wudi, whose heart he had taken and who was forced to serve him!
Oh?
Lin Ran hurriedly opened the email.
The content of the email was very simple, even just a few sentences.
However, the amount of information it contained was immense.
"Xu Zheng has led his trusted subordinates and arrived in Xiang Chu Province; in addition, there are some Nightfall mercenaries – including our Gray Bear Special Forces."
"Based on the stated objective, there are only two targets for this trip – Lin Ran and Xu Sheng."
"The specific plan is currently unclear. I will continue to investigate and transmit intelligence. Please be careful."
