"Auntie is so pretty."
Lin Mengqian, arm in arm with Tang Xiaowu, walked out of the ancestral hall with Fang Xian and the others, laughing and joking.
"Hehe, she used to be the most beautiful woman in Qingchuan City."
Tang Xiaowu smiled broadly and led them to their lodgings.
"No wonder, Auntie looks so young and beautiful."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xian nodded silently; Mu Yunzhi indeed still retained her charm.
He looked at the three-story building in front of him and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
"Is this where we'll be staying?"
"Yes, honey, sisters, you can stay here tonight."
Tang Xiaowu led the way while explaining.
"You can choose any of the rooms on the three floors; this room is only for our accommodation."
"good."
Fang Xian went up to the second floor and randomly chose a room to enter.
The room was decorated in an antique style, as if one had traveled back thousands of years.
The vermilion carved doors and windows are adorned with exquisite patterns.
A blue-and-white porcelain vase is placed on the sandalwood table in the center, with a few delicate peach blossoms inserted diagonally.
Against the wall was a large, ornately carved bed, its bedding embroidered with intricate patterns—truly...
—That's old-fashioned enough.
Fang Xian wasn't interested in any of that; he only cared about whether the air conditioning was cool enough.
Before he could say anything, he saw Chen Tingxuan already lying on the carved bed, making a creaking sound.
"What are you doing? That's my bed."
Chen Tingxuan looked at Fang Xian with a sickly-sweet expression.
"Honey, this bed is so comfortable, let's try it out."
Fang Xian was speechless, but Lin Mengqian understood and pulled the Chen Tingxuan away from the room.
"Xiao Wu, call us when it's time to eat."
"good..."
Tang Xiaowu glanced at the carved bed, then at Fang Xian, and finally left with Mu Wanyao and the others.
Fang Xian was a little speechless. Was the carved bed really that attractive?
He closed the doors and windows, turned on the air conditioner, took out his phone, and started watching a popular TV show.
Fang Xian held the "Blood of the God of War" in his left hand and the "Golden Divine Gift" in his right.
A two-pronged approach doubles efficiency.
He didn't know the true strength of these "strange races," so he had to improve his own strength to ensure everything went smoothly.
The path to becoming stronger is always so tedious and boring, but fortunately, hard work pays off. After using 1,000 "Golden Divine Gifts", his "God-level Attribute" leveled up to LV2.
[Energy LV2: Initial energy is 10 points equal to the number of summoned beasts and contracted partners. Every 10 points of energy increases the critical hit rate of yourself, your summoned beasts, and contracted partners by 15% and critical hit damage by 30%.]
Unfortunately, even after consuming 1000 drops of "God of War's Blood", it still hasn't leveled up.
Fang Xian turned off the enjoyable drama and couldn't help but complain: This isn't enjoyable either.
It's not as enjoyable as what he did.
He opened his own attribute panel:

[Passive Skill: Contract Amplification (Enhanced): Available Contract Partners: 10, Current Contracts: 7/10.]
Fang Xian looked at the passive skills, thinking that he should find an opportunity to contract more of them.
The "Number One Beauty of the Cherry Blossom Country" looks beautiful, but she has become a "strange being," so it's unclear whether she can still be used.
Mu Yunzhi still retains her charm, but if one were to seduce her, it would violate public morals and would result in Tang San chasing after her—that would be a bit too much…
As for who to sign the contract with, we need to think about it more.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
"Honey, it's time for dinner."
"good."
Fang Xian stood up, opened the door, and the six women were standing at the door, waiting for him to come down with them.
Let's go.
Fang Xian walked out first, followed closely by the seven women.
I had only gone halfway when I encountered a group of people with extraordinary bearing.
There were five of them in total, none of whom were wearing Tang Clan attire, so they were clearly not members of the Tang Clan.
One of the women was exceptionally beautiful, making her stand out from her companions.
She was slender with snow-white skin, delicate features, and a pair of deep, cool eyes beneath her long, slender eyebrows.
As she walked, she was like a fairy under the moon, each step like a lotus blossom, utterly detached from worldly concerns.
Only when she saw Mu Wanyao did a slight ripple appear in her eyes.
When Mu Wanyao saw her, she couldn't hide her joy and waved to her.
"Qing'er".
Qing'er was her nickname for Mu Wanyao; her real name was...
—Ran Qing.
Ran Qing tilted her head slightly, revealing her beautiful jawline, with a faint smile on her face.
"Wanyao".
When Fang Xian saw Ran Qing, he couldn't help but sigh that her aloof temperament was like a snow lotus on an iceberg, something to be admired from afar but not to be touched.
He used his "Insightful Eye" on Ran Qing.
Name: Ran Qing

Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Mage
Talent: SSS
Appearance: 97
Height: 97
Height: 172

Moral Character: Perfect as ever

Fang Xian looked at Ran Qing's information and couldn't help but gasp; she was another stunning beauty.
He was just thinking about who to sign a contract with, and now it's just been delivered to his doorstep.
Mu Wanyao excitedly ran to the five people and bowed slightly to the elder in the lead.
"Hello, Mr. Ran."
"Hehe, it's Wanyao, long time no see."
Old Ran was tall and thin, with a hunched back and a kind face.
He is the supreme commander of this expedition, a level 96 Shadow Assassin, and also Ran Qing's grandfather.
The three middle-aged men behind Old Man Ran were overjoyed to see Mu Wanyao and spoke repeatedly.
"It's been a long time since I saw Wanyao."
"Wanyao is getting more and more beautiful."
"Wanyao, you should consider my son. He really likes you."
The three of them were all members of the Ran family: the brothers Ran Long and Ran Hu, and their nephew Ran Tian.
The Ran family and the Mu family are old friends, both ancient families that contributed to the country a thousand years ago and made great achievements in battle.
In response to the Tang Clan's "strange" actions, the government assigned a mission to the Ran family to assist the Tang Clan.
Old Ran smiled and looked at Fang Xian not far away.
"Wanyao, is he Fang Xian?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Ran family all looked at Fang Xian.
Ran Qing looked over, wanting to know what kind of person was worthy of Mu Wanyao.
Fang Xian noticed their gazes, maintained his smile, and slowly walked towards them.
"Greetings, seniors. I am Fang Xian."
"Hehe, young friend Fang Xian is truly a promising young man, and a man of great talent."
Old Ran laughed heartily, his face lined with wrinkles, but it was full of warmth and kindness.
"The Dragon Kingdom is lucky to have you."
Fang Xian had heard of the Ran family, but he remained humble.
"The Ran family's dedication to the country and its people is truly righteous."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would get along so well with young friend Fang Xian. Why don't we walk and chat?"
"good."
Seeing Fang Xian and Old Master Ran walking side by side, Mu Wanyao took the opportunity to link arms with Ran Qing.
"Qing'er, it's been a long time."
Ran Qingqiao had a faint smile on her face.
"Sister Wanyao, it's been such a long time."
"Yes, it seems like it's been a year already."
"Um."
Ran Qing looked at Mu Wanyao with curiosity.
"Sister Wanyao, you've changed."
"Have I changed?"
"Hmm, you seem to have become more feminine."
Ran Qing looked at Fang Xian, who was chatting and laughing in front of her, and murmured softly.
Is it because of him?
"What...is it about him that makes him so charming?"
