Douluo : Capture the goddess starting from peerless tang sect

"Tut, tut. Looks like you're quite the celebrity at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy," Qian Ran remarked as he walked alongside Nana. Initially, he had assumed Nana was just a minor background character, but it seemed he had underestimated her.

In the original story, these characters weren't given much detail. Nana's time at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, which lasted two years, was condensed into just a few dozen chapters. Qian Ran's impression of Nana was largely shaped by the plot where her involvement led to the introduction of the Holy Spirit Church.

But upon closer consideration, Nana was now a Soul King!

At Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Soul Kings were usually the main contenders for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. Nana's talent could definitely be considered extraordinary in this context.

Qian Ran could tell that the atmosphere at the Sun and Moon Academy was much more relaxed and open than that of Shrek Academy. Relationships were clearly a prominent feature here—half the streets surrounding the academy were filled with hotels. Everyone knew what that implied. It also seemed like the girls at Sun and Moon Academy were even more approachable than those at Shrek.

Given such an environment, it was no surprise that Nana had admirers flocking to her.

Nana nodded shyly, her face flushed.

Indeed, there were many who pursued her at the academy. But previously, when she couldn't even control her own fate, she had no time to think about love and romance.

"I just love the look on their faces when they can't stand me but can't beat me either," Qian Ran smirked as he led Nana away briskly.

When they finally returned to the dormitory, Qian Ran unlocked the door with a key, only to find Ke Ke already inside his room.

"What are you doing in my room?" Qian Ran asked, confused.

"Didn't you give us the keys? I'm here to assist you as per the academy's instructions. Just let me know if you need anything!" Ke Ke laughed cheerily upon seeing Qian Ran.

"Wait—what are you doing with Nana?" Ke Ke's expression darkened when she noticed Nana standing next to Qian Ran.

She had arrived early that morning, thinking Qian Ran had just gone out for a walk.

Who would've thought he was out with Nana instead?

Wasn't Nana supposed to dislike men? How was this happening…?

Ke Ke couldn't understand it at all. In the academy, Nana was regarded as a prodigy in control systems, distinct from ordinary girls. Nana was wholly devoted to her cultivation and training, showing none of the typical interests of her peers.

For most girls, adolescence was a time to explore relationships while also pursuing their dreams. Nana, however, had always seemed completely indifferent to such things.

And now, Nana was snuggled up to Qian Ran in such an intimate manner—it was shocking.

What was going on with Nana? Was Qian Ran really that charming?

Could it be that Nana actually liked Qian Ran? But this was only the first day!

Could someone fall in love in just one day? Was this love at first sight?

Ke Ke felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy in her heart. She couldn't deny that she had a favorable impression of Qian Ran. If she didn't, she wouldn't have bothered coming here in the first place.

After all, she and Qian Ran were both studying in the same lab now, and that already brought them closer. Ke Ke was hoping to take things further.

Girls generally matured emotionally earlier than boys, and it wasn't uncommon for them to be more proactive in matters of the heart during this stage. Ke Ke was no exception.

Nana stepped into the room ahead of Qian Ran. As soon as Qian Ran entered, Nana crouched down to untie his shoelaces, removed his shoes and socks, and replaced them with a pair of house slippers.

Nana was astonishingly attentive.

Qian Ran himself usually couldn't be bothered to change his shoes at home—his current cultivation level and physical condition made it nearly impossible for him to get dirty.

Although both Nana and Huo Yun'er served as maids, there was a subtle difference between them. Huo Yun'er felt like a professionally trained maid, exuding competence.

Nana, on the other hand, was more like a traditional wife—one who would warmly welcome her husband home from work or see him off in the morning.

After tidying his shoes, Nana headed straight to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she returned with a basin of hot water for Qian Ran to soak his feet.

Lying on the couch, Qian Ran rested his feet in the warm water as Nana knelt before him, carefully massaging them. There wasn't much to clean, given his body's immaculate state, but the sensation of soaking was undeniably pleasant.

Although Nana's technique was clumsy, her hands pressing on the acupoints in his feet were surprisingly effective, bringing a sense of comfort.

"You… what did you do to Nana?"

Ke Ke had been silent ever since seeing Nana but finally blurted out her question. The Nana in front of her now seemed like a completely different person. It was utterly unbelievable.

Nana looked more like Qian Ran's servant—or perhaps a traditional, devoted wife.

What was going on with this guy?

"What are you standing there for? Come over and give me a shoulder massage. You know, with Nana here, I really don't need anyone else. She's the only one who truly cares about me. You privileged ladies can just go home tomorrow," Qian Ran said with a dismissive wave of his hand.

What a life of luxury.

Just thinking about the days ahead at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, where Nana would take care of him so diligently, filled Qian Ran with joy.

"You! Fine!" Ke Ke, seeing no alternative, put down the textbooks she had been holding and walked behind Qian Ran to massage his shoulders.

She still didn't understand what was going on between Qian Ran and Nana. However, with Nana putting in so much effort, Ke Ke felt she couldn't just stand idly by.

Since she had decided to stay by Qian Ran's side, she wasn't going to leave so easily.

Whether it was Qian Ran's mysterious nature, his unusual relationship with Nana, or the academy's generous rewards for their involvement, Ke Ke couldn't find any reason to walk away.

Deep down, she suspected that Qian Ran was the academy's main focus.

But what exactly about Qian Ran was so valuable that the academy would go to such lengths to accommodate him?

As she massaged his shoulders, lost in thought, the other girls around them noticed Nana and Ke Ke tending to Qian Ran. One by one, they abandoned their textbooks to find open spots around him, each offering their own service.

Nana and Ke Ke were both stars of the academy, with talents and abilities far above the average student. If even they were acting this way, no one else wanted to seem out of place.

Qian Ran, now comfortably sprawled on the couch, soon fell asleep. Surrounded by beautiful women attending to his every need, his life had truly become the pinnacle of enjoyment.
