Douluo V: Reborn White-headed Eagle, Many Children, Many Blessings

Huo Xingyun's expression was the most unpleasant.

He brought the students with him, and now not only can he not save them, but he also has to lose six more... How is he going to explain this when he goes back?

The other two Soul Saints also had grim faces, their fists clenched so tightly their knuckles turned white, but they ultimately dared not utter a sound.

"What? Nobody's saying anything? Do you agree or disagree? If you disagree, then you can all die!"

A clear yet resolute voice suddenly rang out.

"I promise you!"

Everyone looked on in astonishment, and it was Shui Bing'er who spoke.

A young girl stepped forward, her long, light blue hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a light blue dress. She was tall and had an exceptionally beautiful face.

She stared at Su Ran and said, word by word, "I only ask that you can't hurt anyone else!"

"Sister! No! We must not let a soul beast defile us, even if it means our deaths!" Shui Yue'er pleaded from the side.

"Fire Dance, that's a Soul Beast! I'd rather die than agree to this!"

"Exactly! How can humans and spirit beasts possibly live together!"

Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, and the other girls also spoke up excitedly, their eyes filled with tears.

"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Shui Bing'er whirled around, her voice sharp. "Are we really going to let everyone die with us?!"

There was silence.

Marrying a soul beast ruins one's life.

But how could they bear to have everyone buried with them?

"You're not afraid of death, are you? Don't you have any parents or relatives? If you don't agree, I'll kill you all for eighteen generations!" Su Ran sneered, her voice suddenly turning chilling.

"Shameless lecher!" Shui Yue'er cried out in grief and indignation, tears streaming down her face. "You are truly despicable!"

"You guys don't understand me at all. You'll see once you spend more time with me." Su Ran shrugged indifferently.

"Despicable! Shameless! Vulgar! Scoundrel!"

"Disgusting! Filthy soul beast!"

The women gritted their teeth and cursed angrily, but their voices could not hide their despair.

"Hmph, say whatever you want, it's not like I'm going to lose a piece of my flesh." Su Ran picked at her ear, looking impatient. "Since you're not going to talk about dying or anything, then it's settled, right?"

"Release the others quickly! We... agree!" Shui Bing'er closed her eyes, and when she spoke again, her voice was hoarse.

No one objected.

Resentment, anger, and shame... all transformed into a heavy sense of suffocation.

They were once the pride of the empire, the jewels of the academy, but now they can only be the appendages of soul beasts.

Huo Wu silently lowered her head, her fingers gently stroking her lower abdomen, ultimately remaining silent.

"Fine, everyone else who has nothing to do with this, get out of here!" Su Ran's eyes turned cold as she swept them over the people who were sprawled on the ground.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

"Sigh..." Huo Xingyun sighed deeply, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Everyone, I'm sorry... It was I, Huo Xingyun, who failed to anticipate the situation this time. I don't know why his strength has increased so suddenly, putting you in danger... I will take full responsibility for the consequences."

He had made up his mind to resign from his position as dean upon returning home and spend the rest of his life taking care of the women's families.

"Dean Huo, don't be too sad. In a way, we also bear some responsibility for this incident; we were simply outmatched," said Feng Tianci, the Soul Saint of Shenfeng Academy, offering words of comfort, his tone complex.

His college didn't lose any personnel, so it was easy for them to say a few words of comfort.

Thunder Dragon of Thunder Academy nodded and said in a deep voice, "Dean Huo, even horses stumble, and people make mistakes. We, the five elemental academies, are always one family. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. Don't overthink this matter."

"I thank you all..." Huo Xingyun choked up and bowed deeply to everyone.

......

The farcical battle ended quickly, and Huo Xingyun and his group disappeared into the vast snowfield.

Only seven women remained: Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, Qiu Ruo Shui, Shen Liu Yu, and Gu Qing Bo. The wind and snow swept over their dusty skirts, and the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant.

Su Ran looked at the seven faces before him, some bright, some aloof, some gentle, yet all equally outstanding. It was as if he could already see through them the glorious scene of him punching the Emperor and trampling all the gods in the sky. A triumphant smile involuntarily spread across his lips.

"Okay, okay," he said three times, his gaze sweeping over the women.

"From now on, you're sisters. Get along well and don't try anything funny. Oh, and Huo Wu arrived before you, so she'll be your eldest sister from now on. Remember that?"

Shui Yue'er was already dissatisfied with Su Ran, and upon hearing this, her eyebrows shot up, and her bright eyes almost spit fire.

"Why should I?! My older sister is the oldest and strongest. If anything, she should be the eldest sister!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Instead of being annoyed, Su Ran smacked her lips with interest.

"Your little temper is quite something, I like it more and more the more I look at you. But, principles can't be changed, first come, first served. You can just be content being the third one."

Having said that, he said no more. With a wave of his hand, a stream of air appeared out of thin air, sweeping up Xue Wu and the other seven people, along with Huo Wu who was standing quietly to the side, and sending them into the cave.

"Alright, let Huowu arrange the details for you first, and explain our rules here." Su Ran said as she turned around and walked into the cave.

Shuiyue staggered to her feet, still feeling the urge to vent her anger, and opened her mouth to argue with Su Ran about who was bigger.

Shui Bing'er reached out and gently pulled her wrist.

"Little sister, stop arguing. There's no need to fight over who's older or younger."

With her older sister holding her back, Shuiyue pouted.

She didn't actually want to compete over age; she just wanted to annoy Su Ran.

As for whether he harbors any resentment towards Huo Wu, that's unknown.

"Everyone, I'm sorry." Huo Wu looked at the women with remorse. "It's all my fault for getting you all into this. Don't worry, I will definitely help you leave if I have the chance."

Shui Bing'er paused slightly, her eyes flickering with a complex expression as she looked at Huo Wu.

"Sister Huowu, how are you doing here? How is he...?"

"Bing'er, my husband... treats me very well. As time goes by, you will naturally understand."

"That's good." Shui Bing'er nodded. Seeing that Huo Wu's skin was radiant, her complexion was excellent, and her eyes were clear and peaceful, she didn't seem to have been mistreated, which put her at ease.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself again:

"I really don't understand. Why would a soul beast like him insist on marrying a human woman? What's the point?"

"this……"

Huo Wu was speechless for a moment, her mind flashing back to all the times she had spent with Su Ran these past few days, especially his appearance when he transformed into human form, and the tiny life growing inside her body.

However, Su Ran has never revealed her human form in front of others, as she dares not speak of such a secret matter without permission.
