Chapter 224: What If I

Lu Ran held the Li Hua cat and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't know yet that his performance last night had caused an uproar in the outside world!

Major news media competed to report, and words like "Lu Ran", "Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer", and "Rain Alley" became hot words.

Lu Ran's name was even hotter.

"The Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer from a small town, the peerless Heaven's Pride of Great Xia!"

"Lu Ran, a human teenager who made the Yan Zhi Ren cry with greed!"

"The young man who crowns Rain Alley, Heaven teaches to be wild!"

"I build the city god with my blood, what if I'm sparse? What if I'm wild?"

"Warning to the world: Please be cautious when worshipping the Xiang Xiang Xianyang sect; not everyone is named Lu Ran!"

Overwhelming reports caught the world off guard.

On this night of the fifteenth of February, the performance of the fifty participating Heaven's Prides was all remarkable.

Indeed, many people witnessed Lu Ran's rise and saw this Xiang Xiang Xianyang disciple make a sudden splash.

However, more people didn't enter Lu Ran's channel.

People had a deep stereotype about Xiang Xiang Xianyang believers, knowing what kind of bear-like appearance this type of person had.

Questioning, disdain, contempt, intolerance, or feeling ashamed...

Regardless of what kind of psychology they had, many people deliberately ignored Lu Ran's existence.

However, with the publication of one report after another, netizens on major forums told each other, and a "god-like" Xiang Xiang Xianyang disciple broke into the world's field of vision.

People were stunned!

The world reacted belatedly, only then realizing that everything wasn't as they had speculated.

Thinking about it, Great Xia carefully selected one hundred participating students; how could there be any existence that made up the numbers?

The problem is...

People could barely accept that an Xiang Xiang Xianyang disciple overcame his own weak nature and completed self-redemption on "Heaven's Pride".

This was already the limit of what people could accept!

But whether it was news reports or the comments of witnesses, they were all telling the world:

This wasn't an inspirational story of a weak teenager completing self-redemption.

On the contrary!

This was the beginning of a myth of a Heaven's Pride who was already brilliant, shining in the human world during the night of disaster!

On the official website of "Heaven's Pride", Lu Ran's channel had entered replay mode.

The staff worked overtime to put one exciting clip after another into the channel.

The uninformed viewers who were attracted clicked on one video after another, and the barrage and comments surged.

"What is this? Can he really solo a Night Charm??"

"Crazy, either I'm crazy, or this world is crazy..."

"No! This... facing seven Night Charm Blades, hard-charging a Night Charm?"

"It must be that my life pressure is too high, and I'm hallucinating..."

"How did he dare? Doesn't he want his life, daring to fish people out of the Thread-Pulling Garment?"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I thought it was badass enough that he soloed a Night Charm in the Night Charm Blade, this..."

"This Yama's Hall, I've broken in! This human life, I've saved! The Thread-Pulling Shadow can't take them away, I said it!"

"Baa!!!"

Truly famous in one battle!

Originally, Lu Ran only had some reputation within Rain Alley City; after just one night, he was already famous.

On this sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, people were staying at home or in shelters with nothing to do, which gave Lu Ran more soil to spread his name.

People frantically dug up Lu Ran's information, understanding his past.

Just like that, a teenager who had divorced parents since childhood and lost his father at a young age broke into the world's field of vision.

In this special era, Lu Ran's life story really didn't count for much.

There were countless people who had the same experience as him.

Precisely because of this, many, many people resonated with him.

Unlike most people, the teenager Lu Ran chose to live alone, chose to leave his mother's embrace, leave the capital of Great Xia, and return to the small city of Rain Alley alone.

This obsession with his hometown truly made people's hearts surge.

Perhaps, this legendary story started here.

What dyed this legendary story with bright colors was on the God-Respecting Platform on the first day of the sixth lunar month.

Paper fell from the sky, and the yin wind blew!

In forty years, how many human races could respect a demon on the God-Respecting Platform?

Few and far between!

Lu Ran's talent was undoubtedly quite terrifying.

The development of the story made everyone's glasses fall off.

Thousands of gods, none were willing to appear, none came to recruit this talented teenager.

Until the moment the huge finger of the Yan Zhi Ren was about to touch Lu Ran, divine light appeared!

Ninth-Rank God 'Xiang Xiang Xianyang' came!

In the Great Xia god sequence, the god at the very end, the very last rank.

In the Great Xia god clan, the god with the highest tolerance and also the most controversial.

Only then did people realize that it wasn't that Lu Ran was unconventional and chose the Xiang Xiang Xianyang at the very end.

But that the Xiang Xiang Xianyang chose Lu Ran!

From beginning to end, Lu Ran had no choice at all!

He either became an Xiang Xiang Xianyang believer, or fell into the demonic path and was destroyed on the spot.

Or, Lu Ran had to continue to linger on this world as an ordinary person.

From this perspective, the god Xiang Xiang Xianyang undoubtedly saved Lu Ran's life!

People also figured out why this so-called Xiang Xiang Xianyang disciple Lu Ran wasn't weak or cowardly.

And why he didn't avoid battle or cry for mercy...

Because Lu Ran wasn't a conventional Xiang Xiang Xianyang disciple at all.

He was a product of the god Xiang Xiang Xianyang's mercy, and a big leak picked up by the Xiang Xiang Xianyang sect!

Just like that,

An incomparably contradictory combination was born.

A human teenager with extraordinary talent but no divine favor.

The god Xiang Xiang Xianyang, who was controversial and ranked at the end.

This contradictory combination also shocked the entire Great Xia eight months later.

Through Lu Ran's various performances on the battlefield, anyone with eyes could see:

The god Xiang Xiang Xianyang was extremely doting on this disciple he picked up!

How doting was it specifically?

Avoid battle?

No need! If you want to kill, go kill!

Beg for mercy?

No need! I'll change that fawning Sound of Sorrow into a mocking sound to provoke the enemy!

Immortal hooves used for fleeing?

You just take it to cut into the battlefield!

And that ability to identify position by sound, I don't know if it's a sect secret technique hidden by the Xiang Xiang Xianyang Lord...

There are thousands of Xiang Xiang Xianyang believers, but only Lu Ran is out of place!

Under the indulgence of the god, there was a Great Xia Heaven's Pride shining in the world.

Among countless news media reports, one article was reprinted the most, or rather, one sentence was spread the most:

"The young man who crowns Rain Alley, Heaven teaches to be wild!"

Why is Lu Ran so special, why can he be so shocking in this posture?

Heaven taught it!

The god indulged it,

The Xiang Xiang Xianyang Lord allowed it!

Night fell, and the lights came on.

Lu Ran slept very soundly; the battle all night made him physically and mentally exhausted.

In the end, it was his stomach protesting that woke this sleeping body.

"Hmm..."

Lu Ran made a nasal sound in a daze, opening his sleepy eyes.

The Li Hua cat in his arms was still sleeping, just changed a posture.

Lu Ran carefully pulled out his hand, fell to the bedside, and picked up the silent phone.

"Whoa~" Lu Ran woke up a lot.

Piles of messages and missed calls appeared on the screen, making Lu Ran stunned.

Hmm... thinking about it, it makes sense.

The friends who were close to him were mostly god believers; on the night of the fifteenth, they naturally had to guard the city.

These people wanted to watch Lu Ran's battle, so they could only wait until the next day to watch the replay or video clips.

Lu Ran clicked on the social software with "99+" and saw many red dots again.

He chose and chose, and finally chose Little Yuanyuan.

"Good guy~"

Lu Ran couldn't laugh or cry.

Qiao Yuanyuan talked to herself, and the information was sent from morning to night.

"Brother, I'm back from guarding the city, I'm going to watch your competition~"

"Wow! Brother, it was really right for us to go to the Night Charm demon cave for intensive training!"

"But I still feel so heartbroken, stinky brother, I hate you!"

"My mom, Sister Ruyi she..."

"My stupid and cold-blooded brother, why don't you reply, did you go to sleep again? Are you okay?"

"Thread-Pulling Shadow! Brother, you're crazy! What if you get pulled by her red threads, what should you do!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

"It hurts, right? Pick up the phone, I want to hear your voice."

"T^T, stinky brother, call back..."

Lu Ran looked at the messages one by one, feeling the deep concern in his sister's heart.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly, constantly flipping through her messages.

While watching, a call happened to come in.

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly answered the phone, saying softly: "Mom?"

"Woke up?" On the other end of the phone came the gentle voice of Mother.

It's hard to imagine that such gentle words came from a cold Sword One believer.

And from these short two words, Lu Ran faintly heard that Mother should have called before?

Lu Ran secretly said it was a sin, and hurriedly said: "Mom, I just woke up, I was really too tired last night, killing until it was dark.

Sorry, Mom, when I got home this morning, I forgot to report safety to you."

Qiao Wanjun said lightly: "Next time, don't forget again."

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled and immediately said, "I'm fine, just got lashed a few times, my body is fine."

"I watched your performance, it was very amazing."

"Oh?" Lu Ran was overjoyed and laughed, "Can a little minion like me enter the eyes of Mother?"

"Hehe~" Qiao Wanjun couldn't help laughing, "Your wings are hard, daring to tease Mom."

"No, no, no." Lu Ran hurriedly said, "Wrong, wrong."

And what he couldn't see was that Mother had no intention of blaming him, and her eyes were full of deep pride.

Qiao Wanjun: "The blade technique seems to be lacking some heat."

Lu Ran: "I will work hard to train."

"It's my high requirements for you, after all, you are still young."

"No, no, I am a Great Xia Heaven's Pride, I should have high standards and high requirements." Lu Ran responded as a matter of course.

"Mm." Qiao Wanjun nodded lightly and changed the subject, "I see, that girl holding the Cool Night Sword has returned to your side."

"Yes, Jiang Ruyi." Lu Ran scratched his head awkwardly, "Our family heirloom can't be taken back.

She cultivated the Cool Night Sword into a Divine Artifact..."

Qiao Wanjun said lightly: "When you have time, bring her to see me."

Lu Ran immediately said: "Okay, I'll talk to her, after the city is unsealed, I'll take her to see you."

After all, the Cool Night Sword was Mother's sword, Little Ruyi should indeed bring the sword and pay a visit to the original owner of the blade in person.

"Mm, tell me before you come."

"Okay!" Lu Ran chatted with his mother for a few words and then hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone, Lu Ran's mind was a bit active.

If he wanted to train in some special demon caves, it seemed he didn't have to beg for help or find the young masters and ladies in the capital?

If he talked to Mother, she should be able to arrange it too?
