Chapter 384

Inside the Demon Cave Bamboo Sea, outside the seventh bamboo village.

A group of people walked on the bamboo forest path.

Little Yuanyuan was in a very good mood, her steps were brisk, and she held a spicy duck wing in her hand.

While eating, she sucked in cold air with a "s-ha," her little face flushed red from the spice.

"We're almost there." Lu Ran pointed to the fork in the road in the distance.

There was a road sign there, which read: Private Residence, No Entry.

"Wow!" Qiao Yuanyuan exclaimed, "Sister Rouyin... sss... is so rich, sss..."

The Demon Cave Bamboo Sea is a famous resort in Da Xia.

Renting a private courtyard here is expensive enough, and it turns out Li Rouyin has a private residence?

Lu Ran patted Little Yuanyuan's head: "Watch your address, Ms. Li Rouyin is older than me."

"Oh." Qiao Yuanyuan sucked her fingertips, "Brother, give me another duck wing."

Lu Ran looked at the bamboo basket in Hao Tian's hand.

Hao Tian: "."

Sister Qiao has a greedy little mouth, and Brother Lu has a sinful little hand.

Hao Tian had a heart that dared to be angry but dared not speak.

The delicious food was indeed bought by Lu Ran with money on the way here, and he bought quite a lot.

But Little Yuanyuan could eat!

Along the way, her little mouth never stopped...

It wasn't until Jiang Ruyi said something softly that Little Yuanyuan reluctantly stopped.

A few minutes later, when they saw the Nether Imperial Capital, Qiao Yuanyuan was stunned!

Is this the mansion of a prince or noble?

"Nether Imperial Capital."

Jiang Ruyi looked at the plaque on the mansion gate.

Thinking of the ability of Lord Lady Wangquan that Lu Ran mentioned, as well as the artifact fragment that the god gave to Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but feel emotional in her heart.

The word "Du" (ferry) is truly vivid.

A mysterious god with special abilities, with only one believer under his command.

Will this unique Li Rouyin be on Lu Ran's recruitment list?

Regarding the matter of Deng Yuxiang, Jiang Ruyi had already cleared her thoughts.

Lu Ran has a magnificent vision, and on the long road, he certainly needs many like-minded and powerful comrades.

"Dong dong dong~"

Hao Tian knocked on the mansion gate and then waited quietly.

The mansion was silent, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest.

Lu Ran said: "Is it possible that she can't hear?"

Hao Tian shook his head: "Maybe she can't hear, but she definitely knows."

Lu Ran was a bit puzzled: "Does the Lady Wangquan faction have techniques to enhance hearing?"

Hao Tian told the truth: "I'm not sure about that, but as long as it's within the range of the Nether Imperial Capital, she knows everything."

Lu Ran looked at the mansion gate: "When we came last time, was this gate closed?"

Hao Tian's expression was a bit awkward: "Maybe I came too frequently, and she's annoyed."

Lu Ran came to the mansion gate and placed a hand on it: "We are here to visit, pushing the door open directly, isn't that a bit impolite... eh?"

The mansion gate suddenly opened.

Qiao Yuanyuan giggled and hurriedly covered her little mouth.

Lu Ran looked at the others: "The wind blew it."

Hao Tian: "."

Qiao Yuanyuan was full of curiosity, poking her head into the mansion.

In the center of the courtyard stood a cluster of huge evil bamboo, and on both sides of the courtyard, one could see exquisitely constructed east and west wing rooms.

"This?" Hao Tian stood outside the gate, hesitant.

"Brother Hao!" Lu Ran put his arm around Hao Tian's shoulder, "There is an old saying in Da Xia: since we're already here..."

Qiao Yuanyuan laughed: "There's another one, there's another one! It's the New Year~"

Hao Tian smiled helplessly.

Being reckless and impolite is true, but the longing for his sister is also true, so let's take advantage of Brother Lu's visit this time to be presumptuous!

Hao Tian stepped inside, and the others followed.

Bypassing the cluster of evil bamboo in the center of the courtyard, Hao Tian stopped his steps. At the second-floor window of the main room in front, a beautiful figure was standing.

Her skin was snow-white, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.

She wore a black dress with an ancient charm, her long hair was tied behind her head, and a simple wooden hairpin was inserted.

She stood quietly by the window, with a unique temperament, like a classical beauty who had walked out of a painting.

The only thing not beautiful was that she had a pair of unfocused eyes.

Hollow, lifeless.

Without a trace of human emotion!

She was born to be a sword cultivator!

It's a pity that Lord Jian Yi failed to recruit this cold and heartless human girl.

"Rouyin."

Hao Tian bit the bullet and called out.

Qiao Yuanyuan couldn't remember how many times she had been surprised.

Ever since she saw the woman in the black dress, Qiao Yuanyuan had been immersed in the other's unique temperament and charm.

Is there really someone in this world who can compare to Sister Ruyi?

Just kidding...

Seeing his sister not speaking, Hao Tian bit the bullet and continued: "It's the New Year, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Li Rouyin finally spoke, ignoring Hao Tian, and spat out two words:

"Lu Ran."

"Ah?" Lu Ran immediately waved his hand, "Happy New Year."

Li Rouyin's faint voice was like a cold spring, freezing people to the bone:

"Trespassing in the Nether Imperial Capital, do you know your crime?"

"Ugh." Qiao Yuanyuan shivered from the cold and hid behind Jiang Ruyi.

"I said the door was blown open by the wind, do you believe... uh, forget it." Lu Ran said embarrassedly, "It's been over a year, I'm here to offer incense to Lord Lady Wangquan and wish you a Happy New Year."

Li Rouyin looked down from above, her hollow eyes covering Lu Ran: "Offering incense? Wishing a Happy New Year?

Do you really think I don't know what you're here for?"

Lu Ran's expression was serious: "I'm not sure what you think of me, I must clarify!

Your idea is likely correct."

Li Rouyin:???

"Pfft, cough cough." Qiao Yuanyuan hurriedly covered her little mouth.

The sudden turn almost twisted Hao Tian's waist.

Lu Ran asked for instructions: "Let me go in and offer a stick of incense to Lord Lady Wangquan?"

"Heh." Li Rouyin was directly angered into laughter.

Damn guy!

Relying on the favor of the god, he is simply lawless!

Last time, Lord Lady Wangquan wanted to give Lu Ran a sweet treat, and Li Rouyin thought Lu Ran would be sensible.

But it turned out!

Lu Ran picked the precious ones and chose the copper coin string of the Night Charm clan!

Li Rouyin's heart was bleeding.

Every illusory copper coin on that red line contained the souls she had painstakingly detained.

And this time Lu Ran came again, I'm afraid he's going to eat and drink for free again...

She bit her lower lip, wanting to order them to leave directly.

But Li Rouyin hesitated.

After all, Lord Lady Wangquan had expressed his attitude, hoping that she could get along well with Lu Ran.

Hao Tian stared blankly at the window.

When had he ever seen his cold-as-ice sister have such rich expressions?

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly, looking at Lu Ran with suspicion.

What on earth did he do to make this Lady Wangquan believer so annoyed and conflicted?

Lu Ran cupped his hands: "Please be kind, just let me offer a stick of incense to Lord Lady Wangquan."

Li Rouyin placed her slender hand on the window frame: "You..."

She spat out a lonely word, and there was no follow-up.

After a few seconds, Li Rouyin laughed again.

A helpless laugh.

Lu Ran: "What's wrong?"

Li Rouyin was silent for a long time, her voice returning to its previous indifference: "Get up here."

Jiang Ruyi: "."

Qiao Yuanyuan: "."

Lu Ran was overjoyed, but didn't get carried away!

He came to Jiang Ruyi's side, picked up his fiancée's slender jade hand, kissed the back of her hand, and requested: "Can I go up and see?"

Jiang Ruyi glared at Lu Ran with a smile: "Go."

"I'll be right back!" Lu Ran turned and left.

On the way, Hao Tian handed over the bamboo basket with ease.

Lu Ran took it and walked toward the main room with big strides.

Once again, he went up to the second floor and saw the woman sitting at the bamboo table by the window.

"Quite a change." Lu Ran said.

"Is that so?" Li Rouyin held a bamboo cup with her slender hand, playing with it gently, adjusting her mood.

The moment Lord God sent the message, she knew she was going to bleed again.

Since she couldn't resist, she might as well face it with a smile.

"Your state is much better." Lu Ran placed the bamboo basket containing spicy duck necks on the table.

Li Rouyin had already advanced to the River Estuary Realm and only needed to absorb energy from heaven and earth to maintain her life.

Therefore, she didn't like to eat, but her weight had increased.

It's just that compared to normal women, she was still on the thin side, with thin arms and legs...

"Oh." Li Rouyin turned her eyes to look at Lu Ran.

Even though she was blind, those beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed.

The more she looked at Lu Ran, the more shocked Li Rouyin became: "This year, you really didn't waste it."

Lu Ran said modestly: "It's alright! You're not bad either, your momentum is incredible."

Just now, one sentence from Li Rouyin could make Qiao Yuanyuan shiver.

Others might not know, but Lu Ran knew clearly: that wasn't because Li Rouyin's aura was cold or her words were icy, but because of the coldness from another dimension!

"Eat something?" Lu Ran took out the food tray and placed it in front of Li Rouyin.

"Why did you suddenly think of visiting me?" Li Rouyin ignored the spicy duck wings.

Lu Ran sighed in his heart, it's different after advancing to the River Estuary Realm, right?

Originally, under Li Rouyin's elegant and indifferent skin, there was a mischievous and eccentric heart.

It was quite fun.

Now, it seems it can't be found.

Lu Ran sighed at the loss of human nature and said: "In a few days, Lord Xianyang will open a Divine Ruin for me.

I want to adjust my state to the peak before the challenge."

"Divine Ruin?"

"Yes, Divine Ruin."

Li Rouyin was thoughtful, not knowing if she was communicating with Lord God.

Lu Ran waited for a long while before tentatively saying:

"So I want to try my luck and see if I can eat something good..."

Li Rouyin suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, her tone playful: "Didn't you just say you were here to offer incense and wish a Happy New Year?"

"Yo?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.

This girl still has human nature?

Li Rouyin's expression was dissatisfied: "What kind of reaction is that?"

Lu Ran shrugged: "I thought that since you've become so strong and are with the dead souls every day, you've lost the joys and sorrows of the human world."

Li Rouyin pouted: "Tell me, what good things do you want to eat."

This little expression finally reminded Lu Ran of her vivid and mischievous appearance in the Rebirth Hall a year ago.

He tentatively asked: "Do you have the Savage Nüba?"

Li Rouyin's expression was a bit stiff.

Savage Nüba, the mortal enemy of the Second-Class God, West Wilderness Axe.

Just as precious as the dead souls of the Night Charm!

In the past year, the intensity of the demon invasion has become higher and higher, and special events have occurred frequently, so Li Rouyin really had a copper coin string of the Savage Nüba.

"Little Rouyin?" Lu Ran used the address from a year ago, trying to summon the little friendship that remained.

"Yes, little brother." Li Rouyin retorted with the address that Lu Ran didn't like from a year ago.

Lu Ran was overjoyed!

As a beggar, how could he dare to have any dissatisfaction?

He pushed the duck wings forward: "Eat some, eat some, spicy, the ones you like."

Li Rouyin finally didn't refuse again, reached out and picked up a duck wing.

Watching her put the wing tip into her mouth, Lu Ran thickened his face and whispered: "That... besides the Savage Nüba, do you have the Thread-Pulling Shadow?"

"Dong!"

The sudden sound of the table being slapped startled the people downstairs.

Immediately after, they heard a woman's voice upstairs, gnashing her teeth:

"Lu! Ran!!"
