Chapter 143

In the next few days, Lu Ran and the others continued to train their skills.

They would also visit Nether Ferry and send some bamboo shoots to Li Rouyin.

Hmm... by the way, eat all kinds of special pastries at her house.

It was very satisfying~

What Hao Tian couldn't understand was that under Lu Ran's persuasion, Li Rouyin really ate well.

And Lu Ran's way of persuading was very uniform; every time it was just one sentence: I'm going to snatch them and eat them!

What's the difference between this kind of rhetoric and teasing a three-year-old child?

Yet Li Rouyin was particularly susceptible to this!

Every time Lu Ran threatened her, she would eat obediently, which was truly shocking.

Hao Tian, who didn't believe in evil, also tried to threaten his sister, saying he would snatch food from her.

The result was a cold glance from Li Rouyin.

That hollow gaze without focus made Hao Tian's scalp go numb!

Hao Tian, still not believing in evil, specifically ran out of the Demon Den Bamboo Sea and went to the city to buy a lot of cooked food.

Facts proved once again: Lu Ran is really strange!

Even if Li Rouyin ate very little, she did eat, and the attitude was there.

At this point, Hao Tian had to believe in evil.

He could only comfort himself that his sister and Lu Ran were the same kind of people, both very strange, so she was more willing to listen to the other's persuasion.

Hmm... that's it, it must be like this.

Days passed, gradually approaching the tenth, and Lu Ran and the others began to get busy with their homework.

That state was exactly like playing wildly for 30 days during the holiday and then frantically catching up on homework on the night before school started!

As the saying goes:

A pen, a lamp, a night, a miracle!

Lu Ran and the others created a miracle.

It only took three days to complete more than 20 days of homework.

They had two capable assistants!

One was the Copper Armored Guard!

Yes, Chang Ying was chopping bamboo while frantically drawing lots.

As long as the cooldown time was up, she would directly use a Five Treasure Sign.

Drawing other signs didn't have much loss, and if it were an output sign or defense sign, it could also help drag the bamboo.

Once a summoning sign was drawn, it would take off!

The majestic Copper Armored Guard was naturally a good hand at doing hard labor!

Lu Ran and the others tied the chopped evil bamboo into bundles and wrapped them around the Copper Armored Guard.

Chang Ying gave an order and ran wildly with the Copper Armored Guard, heading straight for the nearest bamboo village.

Since the duration of the Copper Armored Guard was only 5 minutes, the master and servant had to run wildly...

Every bamboo village was naturally guarded by military soldiers.

The Spirit Sign believer brought a majestic guard and ran to the bamboo village at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, which amused the soldiers.

Lu Ran's team also had another helper—Hao Tian!

Brother Hao was indeed a good brother.

To thank Lu Ran, Hao Tian took the initiative to help the team complete their training homework.

A Dongting believer is no different from the top-tier rider in the world!

The moment Hao Tian lowered his head, no one could catch up.

Even if Lu Ran activated the Divine Technique Immortal Hoof, he could only look up and sigh.

A Dongting believer is what you call "sparks and lightning all the way"!

Crashing into the bamboo village with a crackle...

What did you say? We can't finish our homework?

Just kidding,

I have a Flash in my team.

Until the morning of the tenth, Lu Ran and the others, under Hao Tian's escort, walked out of this pleasant demon den together.

"Brother Lu, really not staying here for a few more days? Isn't your school letting you come here for a vacation?"

Under the lantern, inside the military camp building, Hao Tian looked at Lu Ran somewhat reluctantly.

To this day, Hao Tian's complex mood had been suppressed.

He just hoped that Lu Ran could stay for a few more days, so that his sister could eat more meals.

"I really have a mission on the fifteenth; I've told you several times." Lu Ran said helplessly.

Hao Tian could only nod, his heart also somewhat helpless.

The Deng Tianchang trio didn't have a mission; after all, on the fifteenth of last month, Yuxiang City experienced a special event.

However, they still chose to return to Yuxiang City, not intending to spend their leisure time in this bamboo sea.

Because their families were all in Yuxiang.

Although there were shrines and god statues at home that could protect their parents from worry.

But the group still hoped to accompany their families on that dangerous and terrifying night of the fifteenth.

"How about this, I'll teach you a trick." Lu Ran said, "Have you heard the story of the Tree Shadow Granny?"

"Demon Tree Shadow Granny?" Hao Tian was somewhat puzzled, "What story does this race have?"

Lu Ran: "When I was young, if I cried at night, my family would say:

If you don't sleep obediently, the Tree Shadow Granny will come to catch you!"

Hao Tian nodded: "I see."

Lu Ran lowered his voice: "Next time you persuade your sister to eat, just tell her, if you don't eat obediently, I'll let Lu Ran come over to snatch it from you."

Hao Tian was speechless; if someone else said this, he would have kicked them away.

But the person saying this was Lu Ran!

In front of Lu Ran, Li Rouyin was indeed very much like a three-year-old child.

"Use it sparingly." Lu Ran patted Hao Tian's shoulder, "In case one day, you make your sister anxious, you'll bear the consequences."

Hao Tian couldn't help but shiver.

He seemed to have already imagined his sister staring at him silently with a pair of hollow eyes.

The eleventh of the winter month, early morning.

A train coming from a small town in the south broke into the ice and snow of the north, arriving at a small city covered in silver.

The term "covered in silver" sounds quite beautiful.

It's a pity this is Yuxiang City.

Even though there is white snow decorating the small city, the sky is gray and hazy, making people feel even more oppressed.

"Hoo~" Lu Ran got off the train and stepped onto the platform.

White mist spat from his mouth, feeling the cold of the north.

"Home at last." Tian Tian followed Lu Ran off the train, raising her small face and looking at the gray sky.

Faintly, small snowflakes were falling.

I don't know if it's snowing or if it's snow blown by the cold wind.

The Qian Tangjiang Bamboo Sea trip was like a beautiful and short dream.

Now that the dream is over, everyone is back to reality.

But the group didn't feel it was a pity; at least Lu Ran didn't.

In this world, only this small city could give Lu Ran a sense of belonging.

Even if it was the capital where his mother was, even if he had lived there for three years, he still felt like a guest.

"Buzz~ buzz..."

Lu Ran came back to his senses and took his phone out of his pocket.

Looking at the caller ID, he wasn't surprised; today is the eleventh of the lunar month, it seems, the new city defense mission is coming down.

Lu Ran answered the phone: "Uncle Sun, good morning."

"You really answered the phone?" On the other end of the phone, Captain Sun Zhengfang's voice came, "I heard the school arranged a good place for you.

Are you out of the bamboo sea?"

Lu Ran smiled: "Yes, I'm home."

Sun Zhengfang asked: "Since you're back, do you want to execute the mission with us on the fifteenth of this month?"

"Of course!" Lu Ran nodded decisively.

He promised Lord Xianyang that he couldn't slack off on the fifteenth of every month.

"Let's go." Chang Ying patted Lu Ran's shoulder, taking him out of the station with the flow of passengers.

"Fine." Sun Zhengfang had expected Lu Ran's response and continued, "Your performance in the last two nights of the fifteenth was very good.

You helped out in times of danger and also eliminated many wild female demons on the night of the ten thousand ghosts, contributing a lot.

After a meeting, the bureau is preparing to commend you."

"Oh?" Lu Ran became interested, focusing entirely on the phone call, not even looking at the road.

Chang Ying acted like a "Black Armored Guard," leading Lu Ran forward, and others couldn't even touch him...

Sun Zhengfang: "The bureau has already sent a letter to your school to add 30 believer points to you."

"Only 30 points?" Lu Ran said with a smile.

Sun Zhengfang: "Don't be anxious, it's not over yet.

To commend your outstanding contribution, the bureau has specially approved funds, preparing to break the rules once and upgrade your black obsidian blade."

Lu Ran: "Ah?"

He had indeed dreamed of upgrading his weapon, but that was before.

At this moment, how could Lu Ran be willing to hand over the Night Blade?

Sun Zhengfang naturally understood Lu Ran's reaction and said: "Have you developed feelings for it?"

Lu Ran answered truthfully: "Uncle Sun knows, I have named it Night Blade.

I will never change this blade in my life."

"I have also mentioned it to the bureau, but the necessary procedures still have to be followed." Sun Zhengfang said immediately, "Since that's the case, how about changing the reward to a Divine Power Bead?"

"Fine!" Lu Ran answered very crisply.

Who would dislike having less divine power reserve?

As Lu Ran constantly levels up, he becomes even more of a "kaleidoscope of techniques," naturally needing stronger endurance.

"Then we'll see you on the fifteenth of the lunar month; wait for the text message." Sun Zhengfang exhorted again, "Prepare well these few days."

Lu Ran's heart tightened: "Have you deduced anything again?"

"No." Sun Zhengfang comforted, "I'm just exhorting you a few words; otherwise, wouldn't this captain be a captain in vain?"

Lu Ran: "..."

It's no wonder Lu Ran had such a reaction; after all, Yuxiang City had experienced three special events in a row.

At this point in time, the entire Yuxiang City was filled with panic, and everyone was like a bird startled by the bow.

As Lu Ran hung up the phone, Deng Yutang asked: "Brother Lu, what 30 points?"

Lu Ran said: "On the fifteenth of last month, didn't I join the patrol team in battle?"

"Oh, that should be." Deng Yutang looked envious, also thinking that this was what Lu Ran deserved.

Just that blurry little video in the grade group, the scene of Lu Ran rushing straight toward the wild female demon, made Deng Yutang's blood boil.

In just a few seconds, the style Lu Ran displayed was enough for everyone to worship!

It was also enough to shatter all doubts and deter all the petty people.

While talking, the group walked out of the exit and stood under the familiar eaves.

"Wait a while, the driver will be here soon." Deng Yutang looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be discouraged." Tian Tian was very sensitive and whispered to comfort him.

Deng Yutang shook his head: "Just suddenly remembered that on that rainy night before, we were also standing here.

Brother Lu gave me a bowl of chicken blood and said we would overturn this world together."

Chang Ying looked at the group curiously; that night, she was not in the team.

Deng Yutang: "Now, Brother Lu is already on the road to overturning the world, and my pace is a bit slow."

Lu Ran raised his hand and patted Deng Yutang's shoulder heavily: "A dignified Red Scarf believer, no need for too much encouragement, right?"

Hearing this, Deng Yutang nodded.

Lu Ran changed the subject: "Or, you can also call me God Ran in your heart?

If so, you can accept it better."

Deng Yutang smiled: "During morning class last month, I already called you that; it was you who asked me to change it back."

"I mean, call me that in your heart." Lu Ran said his conspiracy openly, "Plant a seed first.

After it takes root and sprouts, everything will naturally fall into place."

"Hoo!!"

But he always felt that Lu Ran seemed to have something else to say...

There will be another chapter at 22:00.
