Chapter 389

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, near dusk.

The large Qiao residence was like a fairyland, filled with faint fairy mist.

The closer to the study, the thicker the white mist.

And in front of the desk in the room, Lu Ran, who had been struggling to break through for two days, suddenly stood up.

"Click."

He held the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd in one hand and opened the door with the other, walking out shakily.

"Lu Ran?"

"Brother?" Jiang and Qiao greeted him for the first time.

They were a bit surprised and couldn't hide their worry.

What is Lu Ran going to do?

He is still in the process of advancement, why move without authorization?

"Hoo!!"

The moment Lu Ran turned to close the door, a violent wind rose.

River Estuary Realm, Second Stage!

"Eh?" Qiao Yuanyuan was caught off guard, covering her face with one hand and taking a step back.

Jiang Ruyi felt a sense of relief in her heart.

"Hmm~" Lu Ran felt extremely comfortable.

The divine power in his body surged like a great river, surging and magnificent!

The advancement within the River Estuary Realm stage is truly incredible, the improvement is astonishing!

Such a magnificent total amount of divine power, supplemented by an almost explosive sense of power, made Lu Ran deeply intoxicated.

"Buzz~"

The Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd trembled gently, the golden phoenix pattern dazzling.

It was also very comfortable.

Originally, Lu Ran intended to use the ability of the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd to open the shackles of his body and start the advancement process.

Who would have thought that the treasure gourd wasn't needed at all.

Qiao Wanjun splashed ink and moved her brush like a dragon and snake, directly using four big characters to lead Lu Ran to break through the bottleneck period.

On the night of the fifteenth, when the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd arrived at the study, there was only enjoyment left.

Yes, as a finished artifact, the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd can fly by itself.

It nestled into its master's arms, enjoying the nourishment of energy, frantically rubbing for benefits.

Lu Ran naturally wouldn't be stingy.

What's wrong with my own big baby eating and drinking?

After a full three days, Lu Ran felt that he and the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd were becoming increasingly intimate.

Not just emotionally, but also having a trace of connection on the spiritual level.

Does this mean that the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd is about to truly become his own artifact?

Like Night Glow and Night Silence, eventually reaching a close spiritual connection?

"Brother?" Qiao Yuanyuan called softly.

"Shh!" Jiang Ruyi held a finger to her lips, rarely showing a straight face to Little Yuanyuan.

Qiao Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue, not daring to make a sound, looking at her brother curiously.

He was in a state of intoxication, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes, and he was still in a drunken state.

"What's going on?" Jiang Ruyi finally asked.

"What do you mean what's going on?" Lu Ran's expression was puzzled.

"You are at a critical period of advancement, why move without authorization?"

"Ah... there are Mom's calligraphy and paintings in the room, and the Weeping Jiang Xianzi Jasmine, I was afraid the wind and waves would damage them."

Jiang Ruyi: "."

Qiao Yuanyuan said unhappily: "Then you are quite a good person!

Aren't you afraid that if you act rashly, you will fail the breakthrough at the last minute?"

Lu Ran hummed: "Who is your brother? I have full..."

The bragging hadn't been finished before it came to an abrupt end.

Because Lu Ran noticed that his fiancée on the side had a cold face.

Lu Ran's expression was awkward, looking at Jiang Xianzi: "Mainly, when I see that Weeping Jiang Xianzi Jasmine, I think of you.

I was really afraid of blowing those strings of fairy jasmine flowers down."

Qiao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "Yo yo yo yo yo~"

She turned into a mimic, shaking her little head: "I was afraid of blowing the fairy jasmine flowers down~"

Lu Ran's face turned black, looking at his sister.

Don't I need face?

Anyway, I'm also River Estuary Realm, Second Stage, alright! You little minion in the Stream Realm...

"Ah." Little Yuanyuan was startled and ran away.

Jiang Ruyi's expression was serious: "That's not me, and even if it were, your advancement is the most important."

Lu Ran was equally serious: "If I didn't have full confidence, I wouldn't have done this."

Jiang Ruyi said: "In cultivation, even twelve points of confidence are not too many... Ugh."

Lu Ran suddenly kissed her charming lips, blocking her words.

Jiang Xianzi pushed Lu Ran twice, but didn't succeed.

Her slightly annoyed look gradually turned into shy annoyance, and her face became redder and redder.

In the corner of the living room in the distance, a little head peeked out secretly.

Qiao Yuanyuan's big eyes were like a camera, capturing a beautiful picture every time she blinked.

The two are so well-matched!

Being able to stand beside Sister Ruyi, and his demeanor not falling behind...

Tsk tsk~

My brother does have something.

"Ugh ugh!" Jiang Ruyi finally pushed Lu Ran away and patted him lightly.

"I'm going to take a bath." Lu Ran left in a hurry, carrying the gourd.

Ran away after kissing.

Exciting~

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran's back angrily and keenly noticed a gaze.

She turned her head to look, but a moment earlier, the paparazzi had shrunk back her little head.

Jiang Ruyi frowned and walked over.

Listening to the increasingly close footsteps, Qiao Yuanyuan's little face turned pale.

Seeing no way to escape, Qiao Yuanyuan hardened her heart, simply rushed out, hugged Jiang Ruyi, and called out sweetly:

"Sister Ruyi, where are you going?"

Jiang Ruyi: "."

Looking down at Little Yuanyuan in her arms and those big watery eyes, Jiang Ruyi smiled helplessly.

They really are biological siblings.

One knows how to act like a spoiled child, the other knows how to play shamelessly.

At the same time, in the bathroom.

Lu Ran stood under the shower, and on the shelf where toiletries were placed, there was also a treasure gourd.

Ever since Lu Ran realized that the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd had a tendency to connect spiritually with him, he planned to carry it with him at all times.

Previously, with the help of "Heavenly Pride," this artifact reached a verbal agreement with Lu Ran, willing to follow Lu Ran.

For the past twenty days, the person and the gourd had become increasingly familiar.

The advancement time of the past three days further warmed up the relationship between the two sides.

Lu Ran naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot!

What Lu Ran didn't expect was that he was washing his hair when he suddenly faintly noticed something.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran raised his wet arms, wiped his eye sockets stained with some foam, and turned to look.

Only to see a small Scarlet Phoenix standing at the mouth of the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd!

Its figure was illusory, but the colors were vivid!

It was hollow, woven entirely from golden flame lines.

Dreamy, dazzling.

When Lu Ran looked over, the small Scarlet Phoenix happened to be looking at him too.

"Hello!" Lu Ran washed his foam-filled hands and reached out cautiously.

The small Scarlet Phoenix is an artifact spirit.

The golden fire lines that make up its body are completely illusory, naturally not possessing any destructiveness.

"Woo~"

Lu Ran's heart moved, faintly hearing a phoenix cry.

The phoenix cry was like a flute, round and beautiful.

"Come." Lu Ran spread his palm, trying to let the small Scarlet Phoenix jump up.

The small Scarlet Phoenix still tilted its head, looking at Lu Ran prettily.

Lu Ran wasn't in a hurry, smiling: "I will treat you very well, we will gradually communicate with each other."

"Woo~"

The noble small Scarlet Phoenix gradually merged into the golden phoenix pattern on the gourd, and its figure disappeared.

Lu Ran continued to take a bath, rubbing the foam on his head, humming a little song happily:

"The little mermaid paints the sunshine into eyeshadow, throwing it into the embrace of the foam~"

More than ten minutes later, a refreshed Lu Ran, wearing a large bathrobe and playing with the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd, walked out of the steamy bathroom.

In the home, the fairy mist had completely dissipated, returning to its original appearance.

"Brother! Come quickly, watch TV with us." Qiao Yuanyuan shouted.

Lu Ran came to the living room, saw the two women on the sofa, and sat beside Jiang Ruyi.

As early as the morning of the sixteenth of the first lunar month, his mother left home for Jinghong Peak. Little Yuanyuan knew that throwing a temper tantrum was useless, so she could only be secretly disappointed.

Fortunately, with Jiang Ruyi's company, Little Yuanyuan wasn't too sad.

Instead, Jiang Ruyi was a bit disappointed.

She thought that the three-day lockdown after the fifteenth could accompany Lu Ran, but he didn't walk out of the study until tonight.

"I've already booked the flight to Ye Yucheng for tomorrow morning, 5:30."

As Jiang Ruyi spoke, she curled up her long legs, placed them on the sofa, and leaned sideways into Lu Ran's arms.

Her angry mood just now had clearly passed. Or rather, she didn't have extra time to be angry.

Lu Ran asked: "So early?"

"The day before yesterday morning, Grandpa Cheng Yi contacted you, I answered the phone."

Jiang Ruyi continued: "He said Lord Xianyang sent a message that at 10:30 tomorrow morning, the Divine Ruin will be opened in Lady Luo Xian Mountain."

Little Yuanyuan on the side heard this, although she was still watching TV, her thoughts drifted somewhere else.

Jiang Ruyi nestled in Lu Ran's arms, her jade fingers gently tracing the phoenix pattern on the red jade gourd, and said nothing more.

"Hmm, I know." Lu Ran was very guilty, lowered his head, and kissed her hair lightly.

Suddenly, Lu Ran's heart trembled!

Jiang Ruyi felt it, raised her beautiful face, only to see Lu Ran's eyes were a bit dull.

"Wow!" Lu Ran suddenly exclaimed.

The Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd in his hand shone increasingly brilliantly.

Jiang Ruyi decisively retracted her fingers, not touching this powerful artifact, fearing to add trouble to Lu Ran.

In the gorgeous golden light, the small Scarlet Phoenix flew out again!

It flapped its wings and merged into Lu Ran's chest, as if flying into his heart.

True spiritual connection!

After a full few dozen seconds, the light dissipated, and the Scarlet Chi Fengwen Gourd no longer trembled gently.

Lu Ran's expression was complex, and he slowly opened his mouth: "The Scarlet Chi Fengwen has recognized me.

Our spiritual connection has undergone a qualitative change, and we can currently communicate smoothly."

The sudden good news diluted the sad atmosphere of parting.

Qiao Yuanyuan was overjoyed: "Ha, my brother is the most powerful!"

Jiang Ruyi gently wiped her fingertips across the phoenix pattern, not asking why the artifact suddenly made up its mind.

She just said softly: "He is indeed a person worth entrusting."

Qiao Yuanyuan's heart moved!

Since that's the case, can we enter the next stage?

She quickly leaned forward, lying on Jiang Ruyi's curled long legs, her eyes shining: "Scarlet Phoenix, Scarlet Phoenix!

Brother hopes you can not only absorb the corpses of demons, but also absorb living demons, right?"

Jiang Ruyi also knew why Lu Ran chose this artifact, so she requested softly: "Can you help him?"

"Woo~"

Lu Ran's expression was stunned, then surprised and happy.

Artifact Spirit Scarlet Phoenix agreed?!
