Chapter 386

Nether Imperial Capital, in the reception hall on the first floor of the main room.

In front of a bamboo table, Hao Tian looked worried, pouring tea for Jiang and Qiao from time to time.

Qiao Yuanyuan was very interested in the Wangquan believer and asked many questions, but Hao Tian didn't know much, which made Qiao Yuanyuan speechless.

Are you really biological siblings?

You don't know anything about what techniques your relatives have or how strong they are?

Qiao Yuanyuan was extremely disappointed and dragged Jiang Ruyi away to chat.

With that, Hao Tian looked toward the backyard, looking forward to it.

"Brother Lu!" Suddenly, Hao Tian stood up.

Jiang and Qiao also turned their heads to look, only to see a slender figure walking out of the quiet backyard.

Only Lu Ran alone.

"Brother Lu, where is Rouyin?" Hao Tian hurriedly greeted him.

"She's praying in front of Lord Wangquan."

"This..." Hao Tian was a bit helpless.

Lu Ran looked at the two women: "Ms. Li Rouyin has ordered us to leave, let's go."

Hao Tian hurriedly said: "I'll see you off."

"Forget it, Brother Hao." Lu Ran refused, "If you go out, it will be difficult to come in again.

You just sit here, there will always be a time when she comes back. With us outsiders gone, maybe you siblings can chat."

Hao Tian's expression was hesitant.

It could be seen that he was very moved by this suggestion, but didn't want to neglect Lu Ran.

"Sit down." Lu Ran said with a smile, "Don't worry about us, we'll just wander around and play, and we'll be out before the tenth."

"Brother Lu..." Hao Tian was very grateful.

It's no exaggeration to say that he was lucky enough to enter the Nether Imperial Capital because of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran patted Hao Tian on the shoulder and left with Jiang and Qiao.

"See you next time, Brother Lu." Hao Tian still saw them to the gate, but didn't dare to step out.

It was as if if he stepped out, the mansion gate would automatically close...

The trio said goodbye and left, walking on the bamboo forest path.

Qiao Yuanyuan hugged Lu Ran's arm and whispered: "He's so humble."

Lu Ran didn't know what to say.

Qiao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said mischievously: "Why don't you become like him?"

"Ah?"

"I ignore you, I throw tantrums, and then you keep caring for me, pampering me, and taking care of me."

Lu Ran: "."

Jiang Ruyi had a faint smile on the corners of her lips: "Don't give your brother a hard problem.

Once he gets busy, he doesn't want to pay attention to anyone."

Qiao Yuanyuan pouted: "That's true! I don't look for him, and he doesn't look for me."

After speaking, Qiao Yuanyuan threw away Lu Ran's arm with disgust and went to hug Jiang Ruyi instead.

Lu Ran was numb!

Little Ruyi, have you learned to tease people?

Hmm... you need to be disciplined.

"Did you get what you wanted?" Jiang Ruyi's inquiry interrupted Lu Ran's thoughts.

"Hmm, it's alright."

Some people look calm, but they are already thrilled inside!

Savage Nüba evil statue, River Estuary Realm, First Stage!

Thread-Pulling Shadow evil statue, River Estuary Realm, First Stage!

And these two types of demons both have River Estuary Realm ultimate moves!

The ultimate move of the Savage Nüba clan is called Savage Evil Axe.

Lu Ran can summon a magnificent battle axe with a scale of 100 meters to smash everything!

And this technique also has a second stage of damage.

The moment the battle axe slashes the ground, layers of sand seas will ripple out on both sides of the blade, swallowing everything around.

Buildings will be destroyed by the fierce sand tide, and all living things will be buried alive.

Compared to suffocating to death, people should be more worried about being crushed by the sand!

The Savage Nüba clan is truly terrifying!

As for the River Estuary Realm ultimate move of the Thread-Pulling Shadow clan, it cannot be underestimated either.

This evil technique has a romantic name—Red Silk Rain Filling the Sky.

The name sounds beautiful,

But it's actually cruel!

Once this technique is activated, it's all red silk filling the sky, fine as rain, with thousands of red threads weaving and shuttling.

The Thread-Pulling Shadow clan is a beauty in the world.

But it's even more of a poison!

Now, Lu Ran's body is filled with the poison called "Thread-Pulling Shadow."

I don't know which hero in the future will have the honor to taste the poison Lu Ran has given.

Jiang Ruyi suddenly picked up Lu Ran's wrist and placed it in front of her face, sizing up the Rebirth Money: "Doesn't seem to have changed?"

Lu Ran looked at those slender jade hands, watching her fingertips gently wipe across the ancient copper coin.

He also saw her serious face and those clear and bright eyes.

His heartbeat gradually accelerated.

Lu Ran felt that he was becoming more and more useless.

To this day, she makes such intimate little movements, and he should have been used to it.

But the actual situation is not like this!

Hmm...

If you want to blame someone, blame Jiang Xianzi's strength realm for getting higher and higher, and her temperament becoming increasingly noble and cold.

Special treatment and huge contrasts will always give people strange feelings.

Or perhaps, it has nothing to do with any of this.

It's simply because the person who amazed your youth will always make your heart beat in the years to come.

Again and again.

Lu Ran dealt with it vaguely, turning his head to look aside, pretending to look at the scenery.

Little Yuanyuan is still here.

As an older brother, he still needs to appear steady.

Pretending, he's the best at it.

The three of Lu Ran stayed in the Bamboo Sea for 3 days.

Looking at the scenery, cultivating their hearts and natures in the exquisite bamboo village, and occasionally playing with the silly bamboo wood demons.

Life is very comfortable.

This companionship from Jiang Ruyi can be considered Lu Ran's birthday gift.

On the tenth day, the three walked out of the Demon Cave and flew to the capital.

This time, the Lu siblings didn't bother Chen Jingjing and chose to go home secretly.

What's gratifying is that it was also on the tenth day that Lu Ran noticed his cultivation had reached a bottleneck!

He could break through and advance at any time!

If he could challenge the Divine Ruin with the posture of River Estuary Realm, Second Stage, wouldn't that be beautiful?

After returning to the home in the Immortal Capital Garden, Lu Ran took out the Scarlet Phoenix Pattern Gourd from his suitcase for the first time and handed it to Qiao Yuanyuan.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Yuanyuan held the gourd, sizing up the exquisite phoenix pattern.

"Help me put it next to the shrine, absorb more divine power." Lu Ran patted his sister's head.

With this artifact, Lu Ran wouldn't need a large amount of magic crystals or high-grade magic crystals when breaking through.

"Alright~" Qiao Yuanyuan hugged the gourd and ran to the bedroom.

Jiang Ruyi said softly: "Do you really not need to go back to Lady Luo Xian Mountain?"

When believers break through, the best environment is certainly under the feet of the god himself.

"No need." Lu Ran was quite confident, "With the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd, it's enough!"

Jiang Ruyi thought for a moment and didn't say anything.

If Lu Ran went back to the mountain to advance, he probably wouldn't be able to rush back to reunite with his mother and wouldn't be able to celebrate Qiao Yuanyuan's birthday together.

"By the way, I'll show you something good." Lu Ran looked mysterious and walked toward the study.

Jiang Ruyi followed curiously, only to see Lu Ran standing at the door of the study, actually knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong~"

"We won't go in, just open the door and take a look, half a minute at most." Lu Ran said, gently turning the doorknob.

And as the door opened, a faint jasmine fragrance rushed toward them.

"Ho?" Lu Ran looked at the strange flowers on the desk.

How did so many flowers grow?

In just a month or two, the change is so big?

It seems the Jade-Faced Snake clan doesn't know how to cherish flowers.

The strange flowers and herbs in Lingyun Mountain never grow up before being picked and ruined.

Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes were bright: "Weeping Jiang Xianzi Jasmine?"

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly: "It has to be the top student, you really recognize it!

When I was training in Lingyun Mountain, the first time I saw it, I wanted to call you and ask."

Jiang Ruyi carefully observed the "miniature trees" in the flower pot; the small trees sprouted branches and leaves, and there were also thin branches hanging down.

On every hanging branch, a string of beautiful jasmine flowers bloomed.

Jiang Ruyi's eyes moved: "You picked it back?"

Lu Ran nodded: "Yeah, you smell this fairy jasmine fragrance, is it very familiar?

And this demeanor, this temperament, fairy-like...

Tsk, it's exactly the same as you."

Lu Ran looked at Jiang Ruyi and suggested: "How about I give you a nickname, let's call it 'Jiang Xianzi Jasmine'?"

Jiang Ruyi didn't have much reaction, just smiled shallowly.

After all, Lu Ran gave the flowers to his mother, so Jiang Ruyi couldn't say anything.

Lu Ran said: "In the future, when Mom writes in the study and smells this fairy jasmine fragrance, she will think of you."

"Think of me?"

"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded as a matter of course.

Jiang Ruyi was a bit puzzled: "Think of me... what for?"

Lu Ran laughed: "Jiang Xianzi jasmine flowers are so beautiful, Mom will definitely like them. Loving the house and its crow, she will also like you more and more."

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.

The slight thoughts she had just now vanished, and instead, she felt sweet.

"Mom is a believer of Jian Yi after all, and her personality is relatively cold." Lu Ran gently closed the study door, "What do you think of my secret plan?"

Jiang Ruyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and turned to leave: "You have quite a lot of little thoughts."

Lu Ran's expression was strange: "Are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Guess for yourself~" Jiang Xianzi's pretty face was bright, and she turned to leave with brisk steps.

Does this still need guessing?

Qiao Yuanyuan chased after Jiang Ruyi and ran into Lu Ran's bedroom in a puff of smoke: "Sister Ruyi, are you going to live with my brother?"

Jiang Ruyi asked with a smile: "Why?"

During the few days in the Bamboo Sea, Little Yuanyuan lived in the same room as Jiang Ruyi.

Qiao Yuanyuan blinked: "Isn't my brother going to prepare for advancement? If he's alone, it's more conducive to breakthroughs and progress~

Sister Ruyi, sleep with me, my bed is big!"

Looking at Qiao Yuanyuan's expectant little look, a trace of doting flashed in Jiang Ruyi's eyes.

Clearly, there is only a one-year difference between the two...

"Alright." Jiang Ruyi nodded gently.

Besides what Yuanyuan said, there is another point: this is the home of Lu's mother, Qiao Wanjun.

Here, it's better to sleep separately from Lu Ran.

"Yuanyuan!" Outside the door, Lu Ran's voice came.

"Ah?" Qiao Yuanyuan was startled, looking like she had been caught doing something bad.

"Come, I have something to tell you." Lu Ran beckoned.

Qiao Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and walked out of the bedroom curiously: "What is it?"

Lu Ran brushed past his sister, walked into the bedroom, and closed the door behind him.

Qiao Yuanyuan:???

Lu Ran shouted to the door: "Alright, it's fine now."

Three days, Little Yuanyuan pestered Jiang Ruyi for three whole days!

In her words, Sister Ruyi's body is fragrant and soft, and it's very comfortable to hug her to sleep.

Lu Ran almost cursed!

Do I need you to tell me?

Don't I know how fragrant it is to hug her to sleep?

As expected of a Flower Lantern believer!

Born to be a light bulb!

"You!" Jiang Ruyi's expression was reproachful, and she was about to open the door, "Yuanyuan is right, you should still proceed with your advancement... Ugh."

Before she finished speaking, she was pressed against the door by Lu Ran and kissed on the lips.

Today is already the tenth.

These past few days, Lu Ran has been counting the days!

No!

Can't let it go anymore.

After a long time, Lu Ran finally let go of his fiancée.

Jiang Ruyi's cheeks were flushed, and even her earlobes were stained with a light pink.

She lowered her head slightly, breathing lightly, as if she hadn't regained her senses.

Lu Ran pretended to be wronged and whispered: "We're home, no need to take care of her anymore.

Sleep with me tonight."

Jiang Ruyi hooked her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe slightly, foreheads touching, eyes meeting.

Her beautiful eyes were rippling, and she whispered softly:

"Hmm, okay."

The lightheartedness she had painstakingly maintained for the past few days vanished into thin air.

About the inevitable separation...

Who isn't counting the days?
