Chapter 366: Withered Camellia ②

"Miss Hu."

The sudden voice interrupted the short-haired girl's thoughts.

Hu Jiaojiao was still leaning against the big tree, turned her head to look, and saw Deng Yutang.

But the next moment, her gaze fell on the young man beside Deng Yutang.

Hu Jiaojiao's heart beat faster and faster!

She naturally knew who Deng Yutang went to the airport to pick up.

So, this is Lu Ran?

Covered up tightly.

"Creak, creak."

Lu Ran didn't say a word, directly taking a step.

The boots stepped on the snow, making a special sound.

Hu Jiaojiao licked her lower lip, a pair of agile eyes staring at Lu Ran's back.

Great Xia's number one Heaven's Pride!

Tsk, tsk, a legendary figure.

Hu Jiaojiao watched and watched, suddenly raising her hand slightly, hooking two fingers.

Deng Yutang: "..."

It is often said: things gather in groups, people gather in classes.

What kind of virtue his sister's best friend had, Deng Yutang could probably guess a little.

He looked at his girlfriend Bai Manni, hesitated for a moment, but chose to lean over.

Hu Jiaojiao lowered her voice: "Nothing will happen, right? Your sister's state is..."

Her words stopped abruptly, her expression stunned.

No!

Is this kid here to comfort people, or to provoke people?

Hu Jiaojiao pushed Deng Yutang away, her back exerting force, using the rebounding force to stand straight.

In her line of sight, Lu Ran had already walked in front of Deng Yuxiang, hands in pockets, looking down at her.

Like a god high above, looking down at the silent trapped beast.

Maintaining the posture, motionless.

"Hiss." Hu Jiaojiao gasped.

So brave?

Yes! You are Great Xia's number one Heaven's Pride!

But Deng Yuxiang is not a vegetarian either.

She is a human powerhouse of the River Estuary Realm · Third Stage.

More importantly, Deng Yuxiang is extremely frustrated at this moment, and she is holding a divine weapon in her hand.

With her temper, if she really gives you a blade...

You won't even have time to cry!

"Get out."

The cold voice was spat out from the woman's cold, thin lips.

Along with it, the temperature of the snow forest seemed to have dropped a bit.

Hu Jiaojiao shivered.

Others might not hear it, but Hu Jiaojiao, as a Lord Bei Feng disciple, had unusually sensitive ears.

One word "Get out",

could be considered the greatest mercy Deng Yuxiang gave to the visitor.

If the visitor refused to leave, or dared to say any more nonsense, Hu Jiaojiao was very sure the visitor's end would be very, very miserable.

"Sister."

Also a simple word, the voice was very gentle.

As if wanting to melt this piece of ice and snow.

Hu Jiaojiao almost opened her mouth to answer!

Sometimes, having ears that are too sensitive is not a good thing.

This is too warm!

Thinking about how the young man is the number one Heaven's Pride who shakes Great Xia, which girl can hold it?

Sure enough, the woman soaked in frost and snow couldn't block it.

Deng Yuxiang slowly raised her head to look.

Lu Ran took off his sunglasses and pulled the knitted scarf down, revealing the lower half of his face.

Deng Yuxiang stared at Lu Ran blankly.

It seemed as if time had stopped.

Hu Jiaojiao's heart was suspended.

Before, when Deng Yutang went to comfort her, Deng Yuxiang didn't show any mercy.

The powerful aura of the River Estuary Realm powerhouse crushed Deng's younger brother until his legs were trembling, and he had to retreat.

"Hoo~"

The cold wind blew, frost and snow hit her face.

Deng Yuxiang came back to her senses and slowly lowered her eyes: "You came."

No aura crushing all living beings, no temperature continuing to drop.

What there was, was just a low voice.

Hu Jiaojiao:!!!

Deng Yutang: "..."

Bai Manni hugged Deng Yutang's arm, silently comforting her boyfriend.

Lu Ran smiled: "The battle hasn't started yet, are you preparing to break an arm first and freeze yourself stiff?"

Deng Yuxiang was still moving mechanically, her long fingers gently wiping the cold blade.

Lu Ran stepped forward again and knelt on one knee beside her.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at the stiff face close at hand, pursuing: "Is it?"

Deng Yuxiang stopped wiping the blade.

Not far away, Hu Jiaojiao's body was tense.

Lu Ran's series of operations just now had already stunned her.

This is Deng Yuxiang!

In the entire Lord Bei Feng City, how many people dare to touch her bad luck.

And when has she ever been lectured like this?

What made Hu Jiaojiao stunned again and again was that the proud and strong Deng Yuxiang just sat there obediently and took the lecture.

Even throughout, there was only one word of rebuttal.

And that "Talkative" was not a defense at all, just stubbornness.

And at this moment, when Lu Ran reached for the Slashing Night Big Blade, Hu Jiaojiao was completely unsettled.

That is a big killing weapon!

When quiet, it is arrogant enough.

With the slightest reaction, it is murderous, even more sharp than Deng Yuxiang.

Hu Jiaojiao's body and mind were ready, but what made her dumbfounded was...

The Slashing Night Big Blade just let Lu Ran hold it, and then pushed it upward.

It just followed Lu Ran's meaning, left its master, and floated upside down in mid-air.

Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth wide, feeling terrible.

Not to mention the terrifying Slashing Night Big Blade, even if it were any other divine weapon, how could it be so obedient and listen to an outsider?

Wait!

Outsider?

Hu Jiaojiao turned her head in disbelief, looking at

While speaking, Lu Ran stood up and took off his down jacket.

"Victory or defeat, life or death—those are matters for later."

Lu Ran draped the thick white down jacket over her shoulders and wrapped it tight.

"On the path toward your goal, you are always forging ahead."

Deng Yuxiang remained motionless, her bone-chillingly cold body feeling a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time.

She silently looked at the young man within arm's reach.

In a trance, she saw the face of the boy from the past on this face.

Green, stubborn.

And the concern hidden deep in his heart due to his lack of strength and his low status.

In another trance, this face changed, everything changed.

Heroic, steady.

The self-confidence bolstered by powerful strength and a prominent status.

Unconcealed gentle eyes, presumptuous caring actions.

"I thought you would be proudly preparing for battle, or even impatient to take the stage."

"To have a showdown with the monsters and demons blocking your path."

Lu Ran untied his knitted scarf while looking down at her: "As it turns out, Lord Bei Feng City has ruined you like this."

Deng Yuxiang pursed her lips and finally whispered: "You talk too much."

Lu Ran snorted, then squatted down and looped the knitted scarf around her neck.

As he wrapped it, he said: "Have you admitted defeat?"

Deng Yuxiang did not respond, only giving Lu Ran a cold glance.

Lu Ran nodded: "As long as you haven't admitted it, that's fine."

He reached out with one hand, gripped the hilt of the Night-Slaying Broadsword, and gently pushed it upward.

Not far away, Hu Jiaojiao's body went rigid.

Lu Ran's series of actions just now had already stunned her.

This is Deng Yuxiang!

In the vast Lord Bei Feng City, how many dare to provoke her?

And when has she ever been lectured like this?

What baffled Hu Jiaojiao even more was that the proud and overbearing Deng Yuxiang was just sitting there obediently, taking the lecture.

She even only had one word of rebuttal the entire time.

And that "You talk too much" wasn't a defense at all; it was just being stubborn.

And at this moment, when Lu Ran reached for the Night-Slaying Broadsword, Hu Jiaojiao was completely unsettled.

That is a great killing weapon!

When quiet, it is already imposing enough.

With the slightest reaction, it is murderous, even three times sharper than Deng Yuxiang.

Hu Jiaojiao's body and mind were prepared, but what left her dumbfounded was—

The Night-Slaying Broadsword just let Lu Ran hold it, and then he pushed it upward.

It just followed Lu Ran's will, left its master, and floated upside down in mid-air.

Hu Jiaojiao opened her mouth wide, and she felt completely unwell.

Let alone the terrifying Night-Slaying Broadsword, even if it were any other divine weapon, how could it be so obedient and listen to an outsider?

Wait!

Outsider?

Hu Jiaojiao turned her head in disbelief and looked at Deng Yutang: "Aren't you Yuxiang's younger brother? Lu Tianjiao also calls her sister, he..."

Deng Yutang whispered: "I'm the biological one."

Hu Jiaojiao suddenly realized, finding a reasonable explanation: "Oh, so Lu Ran is the biological... wait? You are the biological one?"

Deng Yutang: "..."

Silence,

Silence is Lord Bei Feng City tonight.

Lu Ran: "Since you haven't admitted defeat, then don't delay yourself."

He looked at the cold, stiff face before him and continued: "Shall we find a teahouse, warm up, and chat a bit?

Or do you want to go back to your place, take a hot bath, rest well, and prepare for battle?"

Deng Yuxiang lowered her head, hiding the lower half of her face in the knitted scarf.

Lu Ran looked at the nearly withered camellia before him and waited silently.

After a long while, he grabbed Deng Yuxiang's wrist, looped it over his shoulder, and helped her up:

"Let's go, you haven't eaten or drunk anything since you promoted to the River Estuary Realm, have you?"

Deng Yuxiang, who had been sitting in the snow forest, was finally persuaded.

Or rather, she was forcibly hauled up.

Hu Jiaojiao struggled to digest everything, sighing with emotion.

According to Deng Yuxiang's continuously depressed state, tomorrow's battle was already lost.

Now, there was a variable.

Would there be a glimmer of hope?

After pondering for a moment, Hu Jiaojiao shook her head inwardly and sighed again.

Impossible.

The gap is too large.

"Young Master Deng." Lu Ran helped Deng Yuxiang up, "Find a private room in the Northland Teahouse?"

"You got it, I'll go arrange it first!" Deng Yutang responded immediately.

Hu Jiaojiao took out her phone: "On a day like this, at this time, it's impossible for the teahouse to have a private room; let me handle it."

Lu Ran nodded with a smile: "Thank you, what is your surname?"

Hu Jiaojiao looked at Lu Ran, and after a full few seconds, she said: "No need for formalities, Hu.

The Hu of 'arrogant and domineering'."

Lu Ran: "Sorry to trouble you, Ms. Hu."

Hu Jiaojiao made the call, pretending to be casual, and looked to the side: "You're too polite, Lu Tianjiao.

I'm a classmate and good friend of your sister, so you can call me sister too."

Deng Yutang: "..."

Bai Manni: "..."

Lu Tianjiao is very polite, but you are actually quite impolite, aren't you?

Deng Yuxiang suddenly spoke: "I can walk by myself."

Lu Ran turned his head to look at her profile: "Your mouth is even stiffer than your frozen body."

Deng Yuxiang also turned her head to look, saying softly: "Your wings have hardened too."
