Chapter 52

I suddenly recalled some happy things.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say much, but her originally cold expression showed a hint of a smile.

Thinking of a spirited young Soul Saint, who in private is a master of tea art,

Interesting, truly interesting.

After all, in Zhu Zhuqing's impression, those heavenly talents from great sects are basically arrogant, relying on their talent and looking down on everything.

Right, those heavenly talents also have a trait: they like beautiful women, especially enjoying keeping a harem as a stud.

But this person in front of me is scheming, has no scruples, is very strong, yet his actions are unfathomable.

Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously touched the floral shirt she was wearing; her looks aren't ugly, and her figure is even more voluptuous than many adult female soul masters.

However, in Bai Ran's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing felt not a hint of heat,

as if this youth didn't like women at all.

Bai Ran: You want me to like the little fairy? I'm afraid her set of rural combo punches would beat me into helplessness. Walking down the street, I dare not look at them, lest they coin the unheard-of term 'male gaze'.

"What happy thing? Tell me about it."

Bai Ran said he also wanted to hear.

"Well, actually there's not much.

By the way, Bai Ran, do you have misogyny?"

"Ah?"

Zhu Zhuqing's words caught Bai Ran off guard.

After being caught off guard, he started to blush.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing's question is no different from directly asking if he's gay.

"Little kitten, what are you up to?"

"No other meaning, I'm just curious why a young Soul Saint like you has no interest in women—do you dislike them?"

In Zhu Zhuqing's conservative view,

after a man has money and strength (power), the next step should naturally be wanting women.

"Bai Ran, you little virgin, honestly you shouldn't have killed Zhu Biyun, and someone like Zhu Biyun, a married woman, should be exactly the older-sister type you at your age would like most."

It's not that Zhu Zhuqing sympathizes with that sister who has always persecuted her.

It's simply that she feels Zhu Biyun died too suddenly,

she feels that if the male lead were changed, he'd likely take Zhu Biyun as a concubine.

Zhu Zhuqing's remarks made Bai Ran feel like a conservative.

Ah, this, this isn't right.

Your sister Zhu Biyun wants me to play with you, while you want me to play with your sister.

Bai Ran said: No wonder they're real sisters.

Of course, compared to Zhu Biyun, Zhu Zhuqing hasn't reached the strength of version T0.

"Little kitten, aren't you forgetting your current identity a bit?"

Hearing the three words 'little virgin,' Bai Ran's mouth corner twitched involuntarily.

What's wrong with being a virgin? Do virgins deserve to be looked down upon? Besides, with no women in my heart, I cultivate naturally; women would only hinder my progress toward breaking through to Title Douluo.

"I haven't forgotten, I'm just venting a bit.

After all, your aloof behavior toward me makes those who don't know think you're my sister."

"By the way, Bai Ran, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

As Bai Ran's words fell, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"What's her name? Is she outstanding?"

"Liu Ruoyan, as for whether she's outstanding...

All I can say is, if my Liu Ruoyan the Great Emperor truly appeared, Bai Ran would whip out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and let her become the main soul.

Look, I like you so much; as long as I don't die, you can stay with me forever.

Alright, just kidding—Bai Ran actually has no girlfriend. I said that only to prevent Zhu Zhuqing from getting weird ideas.

Bai Ran: I sympathize with your situation, wanted to treat you as a brother, but you want to cling to me, share my various resources, and even want to bear my children to increase my burden? That's quite a beautiful thought.

……

Because of Bai Ran's interference, Dai Mubai, whose shoulder was broken, also had no interest in taking the sister duo to a rose hotel for a room.

So he also didn't meet Tang San and Xiao Wu.

However, this little incident—if it didn't happen, it didn't happen, and it won't change the original plot.

Even if it changed, it wouldn't matter,

Anyway, in this T0-version Douluo Continent running rampant, Bai Ran feels utterly absurd, especially the arch-fiend—Pontiff Bibi Dong, who threw the first punch for women's rise.

Even if one says she did it to defend women's dignity and eventually attained the God King position, that possibility isn't nonexistent.

……

Speaking of which, Bai Ran has encountered some trouble lately.

Because he's curious about Shrek, wanting to see what this grassroots academy in the original story is really like.

Bai Ran plans to stay in Suotuo City for a while.

If he didn't stay, it'd be fine, but once he stayed, something happened.

After leaving the bar and responding to a round of questioning from Zhu Qing, Bai Ran then took Zhu Zhuqing to another street, intending to find a place to eat.

Barak Fried Chicken,

A very famous fried chicken shop in Suotuo City; it's said that the shop's fried chicken uses wind-and-rain chickens about 250 years old, because the meat of wind-and-rain chickens at that age is the most tender and smooth.

It's said that as soon as you eat it, you can feel the chicken meat sliding out from the swallow's skin.

Bai Ran chose this shop not only because he wanted to eat fried chicken, but also because seeing so many people in line, he thought the taste was decent, so he simply went up.

Ten minutes later, just as the customers at the previous table finished eating, it was Bai Ran's turn to walk into the shop.

Only to see a girl in a green dress snatch the vacant seat before Bai Ran and Zhu Zhuqing could.

Bai Ran:??? "Give me one serving of your shop's signature fried chicken; I'm starving to death, miss."

The girl knocked on the table and shouted out in great dissatisfaction.

"Um, this customer, you cut in line; this seat belongs to another customer."

Although such line-cutting girls are usually young ladies from some noble family, very hard to provoke, the white-clad youth waiting in line is also not easy to provoke.

Thus the shop's server, steeling himself, went over and spoke to the girl in a gentle tone.

"Hmph, line up? Does this miss still need to line up? Get lost!"

……

"Do you have any manners? Besides, do you know what 'first come, first served' means!"

Hearing the girl's outrageous remarks, Bai Ran couldn't stand it either, walked over, and directly slapped the table.

If this girl continues to be clueless, the next slap could land on her face.

"Hey, you still dare to act fierce toward this miss? If you've got the guts, take off your sunglasses and mask and let this miss see what you're really like."

The girl thought, daring to speak to her Ning Rongrong like this, you must also be a disciple of a great sect.

"Then you also take off your mask."

For some reason, this girl in green made Bai Ran feel somewhat familiar.

"Take them off together?"

"As you wish."

"Ning Rongrong?"

"Bai Ran?"

"Pah, how unlucky."

"Pah, you're unlucky too."
