Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

Bei Bei, bruised and battered, staggered into Xian Lin'er's office.

Seeing Bei Bei in such a state, Xian Lin'er was startled. However, after hearing his accusations against Qian Ran, she didn't hesitate—she knocked him out cold with a swift chop.

After ensuring Bei Bei was unconscious, she called Qian Ran over.

If Bei Bei went straight to Elder Mu looking like that, there was a real chance Elder Mu would lose his temper and go after Qian Ran.

When Qian Ran arrived at Xian Lin'er's call, he was slightly panicked, having almost forgotten to heal Bei Bei before he'd left. Bei Bei had taken quite a beating from him.

Even though Elder Mu would likely keep some dignity and wouldn't punish him at Shrek Academy, if Bei Bei ended up too seriously injured, Elder Mu might not hold back. Right now, the Ice Empress couldn't protect him—unless she fully transformed into her soul beast form, she wasn't a match for Mu En.

Although he could always hide, that wasn't necessary.

After Qian Ran explained his situation with Zhang Lexuan, Xian Lin'er's face looked complicated. Zhang Lexuan usually seemed so proper—who would have thought she'd secretly be so fiery? And it was surprising that she had been partly responsible for Bei Bei's brutal beating.

"Well, when you take photos of Zhang Lexuan, be sure to show me some," Xian Lin'er added with a smirk.

Qian Ran often took artistic photos of the women in his life, often in elegant or revealing attire. Occasionally, he would tease them by showing them, leading them to feel embarrassed and annoyed at him. Eventually, he had to keep the photos to himself.

Xian Lin'er, however, enjoyed looking at these photos, claiming it was to appreciate the side of them not typically seen.

She wasn't romantically interested in women, but she did enjoy seeing how they looked once they had "fallen."

Qian Ran didn't quite understand this mentality of hers.

"It's possible… but…" Qian Ran looked Xian Lin'er up and down.

"Are you crazy? Bei Bei's right over there," Xian Lin'er shot back, nudging Qian Ran and gesturing toward the unconscious Bei Bei with mild irritation.

"Isn't he passed out?" Qian Ran replied, promptly landing another blow on Bei Bei's head to ensure he'd stay that way for a while longer.

"Look at you. Are all men like this?"

Xian Lin'er gave Qian Ran a flirtatious glance, a hint of reproach in her eyes.

"Not exactly. You know my strength. Most people couldn't handle multiple partners." Qian Ran chuckled. His body was incredibly resilient—where others might need a day or more to recover, he only needed half an hour.

"Hurry up, or Bei Bei will actually wake up," Qian Ran urged.

Xian Lin'er smiled at him, then, with a glint of surprise and excitement in her eyes, she knelt before him.

"Rest your knees on my feet so your stockings won't get dirty," Qian Ran said thoughtfully.

Xian Lin'er was wearing black silk stockings, and Qian Ran couldn't bear the thought of them getting dirty. Most importantly, if they were smudged, others might notice and get suspicious.

Half an hour later.

After a quick cleanup, Xian Lin'er returned, and Qian Ran looked around the room.

The Soul Guidance Department had many secret rooms like this one, often used for high-level soul tool research.

Qian Ran instructed Xian Lin'er to fill a basin with water, which he then froze using his Ice Dragon martial spirit. He dumped the bone-chilling water onto Bei Bei.

Bei Bei shivered violently and woke up.

As he opened his eyes and saw Qian Ran, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. Glancing around at the cold, dark room, he felt a chill settle in his heart.

Realizing he was fully bound, his fear only grew.

"Qian Ran? What are you doing here? Where's Dean Xian Lin'er?" Bei Bei called out in a hoarse voice. Hadn't he just reported Qian Ran to her? How did he end up here with Qian Ran?

Where was Xian Lin'er?

She was his ancestor's disciple, having watched him grow up.

If Xian Lin'er knew how badly Qian Ran had treated him, she would surely punish him, perhaps even expel him.

"I was willing to let you off, but you had to go and snitch. Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson." Qian Ran grabbed a whip and brought it down hard on Bei Bei. The whip had been prepared by Xian Lin'er—she understood him far too well.

"Agh!"

"Qian Ran, are you trying to kill me?"

A red welt appeared across Bei Bei's white shirt, and he howled in pain.

After being severely beaten by Qian Ran just the night before, he now found himself getting whipped. He despised Qian Ran with every fiber of his being.

"You lunatic! Aunt Lin'er already knows what you did. The harder you hit me now, the worse it'll be for you. You won't leave Shrek Academy alive!" Bei Bei believed Qian Ran had lost his mind and had to make him understand the gravity of the situation.

"Were you calling for me?"

At that moment, Xian Lin'er walked over, holding a cup of tea.

"Aunt Lin'er, you're here! Qian Ran's beaten me terribly. Look at my wounds! How could someone like this be your disciple? You should—"

Before Bei Bei could finish, Xian Lin'er slapped him across the face.

She hadn't minded him calling her "aunt" before, but things were different now. Bei Bei had the nerve to call her that in front of Qian Ran—it enraged her.

Ever since she had fallen for Qian Ran, she'd become sensitive about her age. Although she was blessed with an eternally youthful appearance, who didn't wish to look younger?

But Bei Bei had called her "aunt" right in front of Qian Ran.

Was he trying to say she was old?

Fury filled Xian Lin'er's mind.

"Aunt? You called me Aunt?" Xian Lin'er's face turned icy.

She handed the tea she'd brewed to Qian Ran, then picked up the whip and began to strike Bei Bei.

The room was soon filled with the whistle of the whip and Bei Bei's agonized screams. Even Qian Ran felt his scalp tingle and stepped back, worried he might accidentally get caught in her fury.

How terrifying women could be!

Of course, Xian Lin'er's anger was partly due to Bei Bei's words, but she also wanted to please Qian Ran.

She knew Bei Bei would likely go to Mu En with his complaints, which would cause trouble for Qian Ran, so she was furious. When it came to Qian Ran's safety, she was ruthless.

At that moment, Bei Bei finally understood why Xian Lin'er's demeanor had changed as soon as he mentioned his grievances with Qian Ran. Now, waking up bound in this room, he realized he'd walked right into a trap.

He'd always thought he was a "second-generation prodigy" in Shrek Academy, but Qian Ran was the true favorite here.

Was there no justice? No fairness?

Damn, Xian Lin'er was even harsher than Qian Ran and Zhang Lexuan!

It hurt like hell!
