Chapter 349

The 19th of the lunar calendar, the city was unsealed.

Once again, under Qiao Yuanxi's reluctant gaze, Lu Ran cruelly sent her onto the off-road vehicle.

Watching the G-Wagon gradually drive away, Lu Ran didn't feel good inside either.

In the past three days, his life had been very warm.

Perhaps it was because Qiao Yuanxi realized that the day Lu Ran would leave was getting closer and closer, so she was exceptionally clingy.

Lu Ran was also trying hard to play the role of a good older brother.

Trying hard to cook every meal for her, practicing with her, and accompanying her to watch dramas and variety shows.

And this warm time disappeared along with Qiao Yuanxi's departure.

Lu Ran felt empty inside.

He returned to the empty house, calmed down a little, and then found his phone to look at the itinerary on his memo.

"Black Grave Mound, Black Soul Wood Forest, Imperial Mausoleum, 'The Prodigy' activity."

Lu Ran sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment.

Black Grave Mound and Black Soul Wood Forest were the demon dens where the Black Lamp clan and the Soul-Splitting Demon clan were located, respectively.

The Imperial Mausoleum,

was the demon den where the Demon·Evil Spear Emperor was located.

In Lu Ran's God-Demon Sculpture Garden, these three demon statues were all at the Jiang Jing.

Two were at Jiang Jing Level 4, and one was at Jiang Jing Level 5.

Lu Ran planned to work harder and rush to the three places within this month to cultivate all three evil statues to the River Estuary Realm.

Preparing for battle, of course, requires the attitude of preparing for battle!

Although Lu Ran possessed many evil statues and many evil techniques.

But the Black Lamp clan was the only one that could provide Lu Ran with healing techniques.

Cage Fire·Bath!

Lu Ran could summon gentle black flames to heal the target's injuries.

Lu Ran's usage rate of this technique was extremely low.

Regarding this, he had a concept in his heart: I might not use it, but I must have it!

This is a life-saving technique!

It can save others,

and even more so, save oneself.

As for the Soul-Splitting Demon clan, there was even less need to say more.

This clan had an evil technique that amplified power—Soul-Splitting Force!

This was a necessity for Lu Ran!

The Evil Spear Emperor was the leader of the slave team designated by Lu Ran, so naturally, he had to be cultivated with care.

"Hmm..." Lu Ran looked at the phone memo.

"The Prodigy" activity was set for the first day of the twelfth lunar month, lasting for two days.

And the location was in the Sanqin land, very close to the Evil Spear Emperor's demon den.

In that case, he could go to the Black Lamp demon den and the Soul-Splitting Demon demon den first, then participate in "The Prodigy" activity, and then go to the Imperial Mausoleum nearby to kill for a while!

Once these three evil statues were promoted to the River Estuary Realm,

Lu Ran's subordinates would all be at the River Estuary Realm!

Thinking of this, Lu Ran's heart stirred, and he quickly got up and walked toward the small bedroom.

"Lord Xiang Xianyang."

Lu Ran performed a formal salute and continued: "Disciple has confirmed that I want to activate the Savage Nüba evil statue and the Thread-Pulling Shadow evil statue.

Do you have time now to accompany me for a walk in the God-Demon Sculpture Garden?"

Inside the small shrine, the Xiang Xianyang jade carving was silent.

Lu Ran waited for a moment and continued: "There is less than two months left before the disciple challenges the Divine Ruins.

The disciple plans to seize the time to add two more great generals to my subordinates and cultivate them to the River Estuary 【Realm】 next month..."

"Hmm."

Before Lu Ran finished speaking, a low voice was imprinted in his mind.

"Thank you, Lord Xiang Xianyang." Lu Ran sat on the ground and closed his eyes tightly.

The next moment, he entered the spiritual world and returned to the God-Demon Sculpture Garden.

"Phew~"

Lu Ran looked up and saw a burning black-fire sheep head floating in mid-air.

Those dead horizontal pupils swept over Lu Ran and then looked upward.

Lu Ran immediately turned around and saw a pair of stone combat boots.

Of course, he recognized the style of these combat boots.

Lu Ran kept looking up, and up again...

A tall and mighty female general stood here impressively.

Savage Nüba!

This was a gray stone statue, but Lu Ran accurately imagined her true appearance.

Messy red hair, bloodthirsty red pupils.

A wild smile lingering on the corners of her mouth.

Wearing armor and holding an axe, full of killing intent!

An extremely hot body, enough to be described as "arrogant."

Hmm... truly damn wild!

"Please help me, Lord Xiang Xianyang!" Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

"Hum!!"

The Savage Nüba evil statue trembled.

Mist threads shot out from the huge evil statue and were tightly connected to the tiny Lu Ran.

Mist Realm, Stream Realm, Jiang Jing...

Jiang Jing Level 2!

Lu Ran sighed in his heart, only Jiang Jing Level 2?

Next month, I'll have plenty to be busy with.

Immediately, Lu Ran went to the front of the Thread-Pulling Shadow evil statue.

Alright,

another female demon with an "arrogant" posture.

It's just that this one is of the sexy and enchanting type.

Full of charm, enchanting to the extreme!

In Lu Ran's eyes, Thread-Pulling Shadow was far more tempting than "Big Chang Ying"!

"Sin, sin."

Lu Ran muttered in his heart, lest he be disturbed by the enchantress.

With the help of the black-fire sheep head, the Thread-Pulling Shadow evil statue was activated.

Mist Realm, Stream Realm, Jiang Jing...

Jiang Jing Level 1!

Only Level 1?

Lu Ran grinned and didn't dare to look up at the Thread-Pulling Shadow evil statue.

But even if he didn't look up, he could see those exquisite stone feet under her tattered skirt.

She was on tiptoes,

and the arc of her instep was so graceful.

It was as if every detail of this sexy skin could capture one's soul.

Damn,

she's purely a disaster!

You could have just stood properly, why did you have to be on tiptoes...

Lu Ran simply closed his eyes.

A moment later, Lu Ran in the small bedroom opened his eyes.

He immediately got up and bowed to the small shrine: "Sorry to trouble you, Lord Xiang Xianyang."

The god did not respond.

Ever since Lord Xiang Xianyang said it was preparing to open the Divine Ruins, it had rarely spoken.

Lu Ran stopped bothering the god, came to the small table, and sat down.

Most of the evil techniques of the Savage Nüba clan had extremely strong output and were not suitable for practice at home.

On the other hand, the evil techniques of the Thread-Pulling Shadow clan could be played with.

Thread-Pulling Needles raining down,

Thread-Pulling Net to imprison enemies.

Thread-Pulling Line to control all things,

Thread-Pulling Chaos to disrupt the enemy's divine power.

Thread-Pulling Robe, which was extremely heavy and could shoot out thousands of threads.

And the terrifying illusion technique, Thread-Pulling Pupil, which ravaged and tortured people's hearts.

"Swish~"

Lu Ran raised his hand, and his five fingers were wrapped in thin red threads.

As the saying goes:

Better to break into the King of Hell's palace than to touch the Thread-Pulling Line!

Little Li Hua, today I'll let you touch... Huh?

Lu Ran's palm stiffened.

Little Li Hua was not at home.

Tsk~

What a pity.

Little Li Hua couldn't enjoy such a blessing.

Hmm... should I go visit the Jiang family?

Lu Ran raised his hand and looked at the beautiful red threads wrapped around his fingers.

Four words suddenly popped into his head:

Dongfang Bubai?!

His fingers were slender, his palms were fair enough, he could really perfectly cosplay that character!

Lu Ran had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hands, which often held knives, were originally a bit rough.

But Lu Ran had received the god's blessing!

Twice!

Every detail of this skin of his was also impeccable.

Having said that, even if he hadn't received the blessing, Lu Ran also possessed the healing technique·Cage Fire (Bath).

This fire could not only heal wounds but also nourish the skin...

"Li Hua, oh Li Hua, you have no blessing~"

Lu Ran waved his hand, and the red threads on his fingers disappeared quietly.

He couldn't be Dongfang Bubai today.

Wait until he goes to the Black Soul Wood Forest to give the Soul-Splitting Demons some needles...

Lu Ran picked up his phone and checked the time.

7:50 AM.

The train to Jinchuan City, Liaodong Province, was at 9:10.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment and sent a WeChat to Jiang Ruyi, preparing to report his itinerary.

But he didn't want to,

Si Xianxian sent a WeChat:

"Jiang Shaonainai has just finished her morning exercise and is bathing."

Ran: "..."

Sister Xian'er: "What is the matter, Young Master? Do you need me to convey it?"

Ran: "How are you doing staying on Lady Luo Xianshan?"

As soon as the message was sent, a video call popped up.

Lu Ran answered directly and saw Sister Xian'er, who was in excellent mental state.

"Young Master~" Sister Xian'er's voice was very sweet, and her smile was even sweeter.

Lu Ran looked at the background behind her and knew she was in the master bedroom, so he asked: "Are you used to living there?"

After just one sentence, Si Xianxian revealed her true colors, pouting: "It's okay."

Lu Ran: "Do you feel it's boring?"

Si Xianxian casually tidied up her messy hair and hummed: "Anyway, it's better than being at home; no one nags me here."

Lu Ran smiled: "Has your heart become a little calmer?"

Si Xianxian stared at Lu Ran's face, a surge of gratitude welling up in her heart.

As a Lietian believer, she knew better than anyone what she really needed.

Si Xianxian was grateful in her heart, but she said: "It's just like that."

Lu Ran advised: "You can enjoy the flowers and plants in the mountains more with Ruyi.

Look at the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake, look at the sunset and evening glow."

What Lu Ran said was exactly what Jiang Ruyi had been taking Si Xianxian to do every day for the past month.

Si Xianxian knew in her heart that this young couple was trying hard to help her.

Or should it be said: they were saving her.

Si Xianxian rested her chin on one hand, rarely not being stubborn, and whispered: "Hmm."

Si Xianxian did not consider whether she would be beaten back to her original form or how she would conduct herself after leaving Lady Luo Xianshan.

It had been so long, Si Xianxian had already gotten used to enjoying the present and not thinking about the future.

Those beautiful lives and happy times did not belong to people like her in the first place.

If she was really lucky enough to have a period of...

that would also be something bestowed by others.

Or something she had secretly stolen.

Lu Ran: "Did you go to Lady Luo Xian Village to play?"

Si Xianxian's smile became even sweeter: "Ruyi and I often go to worship Lord Xiang Xianyang.

The grandpas and grandmas in the village are very enthusiastic and very good to me."

A world full of tolerance and kindness was, for the Lietian big girl, too good to be true.

"That's good." Lu Ran nodded, "Try to stay for a while longer.

If you really want to play, let Ruyi take you to the city to look around."

"Lu Ran."

"What?"

Si Xianxian: "I am not a person who likes to travel everywhere."

Lu Ran: "Huh?"

Don't you feel guilty saying that?

Forgot how you begged me to take you flying everywhere?

Si Xianxian shrugged her shoulders: "I only discovered after coming here that I don't actually like traveling."

Lu Ran didn't speak, as if he understood what she meant.

Si Xianxian was silent for a moment and said: "Or maybe I still like it, but it doesn't matter.

I know very well that I prefer staying here."

Lu Ran: "I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as you want, you can stay there forever."

Si Xianxian lowered her eyes and whispered: "Thank you."

"Who are you chatting with?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came.

Si Xianxian's expression changed, and she looked up with a smile: "Jiang Shaonainai has finished bathing and changing?

Hurry, hurry, Young Master's call!"

"Sister Xian'er!" Jiang Ruyi was very helpless.

This was originally a joke between Lu Ran and Si Xianxian, but Si Xianxian insisted on making this title a reality.

In daily life, Si Xianxian was obedient to Jiang Ruyi and "served" Jiang Ruyi as much as possible.

This made Jiang Ruyi very awkward.

She had once talked to Si Xianxian very seriously about this matter, hoping that the relationship between the two would be that of good best friends.

But Si Xianxian was far more stubborn than she had imagined.

Jiang Ruyi could not change the fact that the Xiang Xianyang sect was respectful to her, nor could she change the concept of the Xiang Xianyang believers that there was an orderly hierarchy.

Similarly, she could not change Si Xianxian's attitude.

And all of this was because of one person.

Because of this guy on the phone screen.

"Tsk, beautiful to death~"

The hateful guy said something that made her blush.

Jiang Ruyi's face was slightly red, she gave Lu Ran a light glare, and whispered: "I have been trying hard to suppress it.

Now, when Sister Xian'er looks at me, she doesn't space out anymore."

Lu Ran: "Are you sure it's not because she's seen it too much and gotten used to it?"

Jiang Ruyi looked dissatisfied and wrinkled her nose at him.

A cold-looking face paired with a playful expression was quite unique.

Lu Ran appreciated it for a moment and said: "I'm going to participate in 'The Prodigy' activity this month, then go to the Imperial Mausoleum to trade a few moves with the Evil Spear Emperor..."

Jiang Ruyi listened, quietly looking into someone's eyes.

Her thoughts drifted far away.

Asking for some monthly votes.
