Chapter 581

As the night grew darker, clusters of bonfires were set up in the forest in the central-southern region of Cloud Sea Cliff.

The aroma of roasted meat, accompanied by bursts of laughter, lingered in the forest.

From time to time, beautiful singing would drift into the night.

A warm and peaceful atmosphere, completely out of place with the cold and cruel Holy Lingshan.

And on the dim edge of the sea cliff, a man and a woman stood away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, one behind the other, listening to the sound of waves hitting the shore.

"Whoosh~"

The sea breeze blew, blowing He Yingcai's long hair.

"This place is very special." She closed her eyes as if enjoying it, "Even the scent of the wind is different."

"Within the Mountain Realm, I'm afraid only the Sect Master would dare to build a base by the sea." Yu Changsheng stood a few steps behind the woman and responded softly.

Mentioning Lu Ran, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Sect Master..." He Yingcai quietly opened her eyes, recalling everything that happened at dusk.

The Sect Master, who held great power, couldn't withstand her few requests and granted her wish.

Thinking of this, a trace of a smile also appeared on He Yingcai's face.

"What about the Sect Master?" Yu Changsheng rarely took the initiative to speak.

He Yingcai shook her head gently: "He is just like this place, very special."

Yu Changsheng agreed quite a bit.

He Yingcai turned slightly and looked at the handsome "stone."

The starry sky lent her some light, allowing her to barely see that handsome face: "After New Year's Eve, the Sect Master will lead the team to conquer Red Rain Valley.

The Sect Master promised me that he would take me with him."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said: "The Colorful Divine General should still complete the task assigned by the Sect Master, sit in Green Lotus Island, and with the cooperation of the Gray Lotus Island Master, gradually master the right to speak in the seven Green Lotus islands."

The leader of the Thousand Boat Alliance · Green Lotus Qidao is the Gray Lotus Island Master.

Lu Ran had a lot of contact with the other party, including when he first arrived at Misty Rain Lake, it was He Yingcai and the Gray Lotus Island Master who welcomed him together.

After the battle at Misty Rain Lake, Lu Ran, at Yu Changsheng's suggestion, took the initiative to meet with the Gray Lotus Island Master.

Lu Ran expressed his hope, requesting that the Gray Lotus Island Master could cultivate and promote He Yingcai more.

In the Mountain Realm, who isn't a shrewd person if they can survive for a long time?

The Gray Lotus Island Master was not only grateful to Lu Ran, but more importantly, the Lu Sect's powerful strength was right there!

The Gray Lotus Island Master immediately stated that promoting the younger generation was her duty.

Between the lines, she also revealed that she was old and her energy was somewhat insufficient...

Both sides expressed their attitudes, tacitly understanding each other.

"It's just a trip to Red Rain Valley; it won't take long." He Yingcai looked at Yu Changsheng gently.

Yu Changsheng silently averted his eyes and looked at the pitch-black sea.

He Yingcai lowered her eyelids, smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned to look at the pitch-black sea as well.

The skirt of the graceful lady danced lightly in the night wind.

Heart-stirring.

Unfortunately, the stone has no heartstrings.

I don't know how much time passed, but Yu Changsheng said: "Colorful Divine General, we have finished visiting Cloud Sea Cliff.

The banquet has been going on for a while, let's go over."

He Yingcai suddenly spoke: "I discovered that only when the topic involves the Sect Master is the Protector willing to say a few more words to me."

Yu Changsheng: "..."

He Yingcai brushed the hair messed up by the wind and smiled: "The Protector is worthy of the name; his heart is full of him."

Yu Changsheng laughed dumbly.

He Yingcai turned to look, a trace of resentment hidden in the bottom of her eyes: "Lu Xuedi Brother Lu is really lucky to have met such a loyal subordinate like the Protector."

Yu Changsheng sighed in his heart and rarely looked at He Yingcai: "Meeting him is my luck.

If we hadn't met, I would have drowned in that high mountain lake."

He Yingcai frowned slightly.

Yu Changsheng smiled: "Or I should say, I had already died there, rotting completely."

He Yingcai was silent and did not respond.

As intelligent as she was, she could naturally understand the meaning of Yu Changsheng's words.

In this Holy Lingshan, who isn't a decaying shell, and how many people are truly alive?

Yu Changsheng said indifferently: "What I said to you before in Misty Rain Lake was not a joke.

The Sect Master fished me out, gave me a mission, and bestowed upon me a new life."

He Yingcai turned around and stood face to face with Yu Changsheng: "So, a seven-foot body is promised to the Lu Sect, and it's hard to promise it to you?"

Yu Changsheng remained silent.

He Yingcai smiled: "Is the Protector worried that romantic feelings will bind you?"

The topic suddenly opened up, and the situation changed completely.

Yu Changsheng organized his language and spoke slowly: "Colorful Divine General..."

Before he could finish, He Yingcai suddenly stepped forward, and the two were close at hand.

He Yingcai raised her eyelids: "Does the Protector remember that I am also a soldier under the Sect Master? My actions are also based on his will.

One day in the future, I will also accompany him to kill into the clouds.

You and I have the same mission and will only move forward hand in hand, so how can there be any talk of binding?"

Yu Changsheng silently stepped back.

He Yingcai smiled, no longer resentful in her eyes, her smile beautiful and pure: "I will ask the Protector three questions.

If you answer truthfully, I will no longer pester you, and we will go back to attend the banquet."

Hearing "no longer pester," Yu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He Yingcai: "Does the Protector have family?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head.

He Yingcai: "Does the Protector have someone you admire?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head decisively.

Coming to the third question, He Yingcai was still smiling, but her heart was slightly uneasy: "Protector... do you dislike me?"

Yu Changsheng looked up at the woman.

He Yingcai hurriedly added: "Answer truthfully."

Yu Changsheng was silent for a moment and shook his head gently.

He Yingcai's eyes moved slightly, her lotus steps shifted lightly, and her fair hand gently held Yu Changsheng's arm: "Let's go, let's go to the banquet."

Her words were gentle, her posture elegant.

Completely out of place with her bold actions!

Yu Changsheng:???

He lowered his head and looked at the woman's hand.

Didn't you say you wouldn't pester me?

He Yingcai seemed to read the other party's expression and said: "Let's go, let's hurry back, don't pester here."

Yu Changsheng was shocked!

Is that how this is interpreted?

He Yingcai raised her charming face, smiling: "If I had known that Lu Xuedi Brother Lu had such weight in the Protector's heart, I wouldn't have been so worried."

Yu Changsheng was slightly stunned and looked at the woman.

He Yingcai lowered her voice: "You say, if I go and beg Lu Xuedi Brother Lu to order you to stay by my side..."

"Colorful Divine General..."

"Protector, call me Yingcai."

"Colorful Divine General, you'd better..."

"Shall I go and beg Lu Xuedi Brother Lu?" He Yingcai said softly, "To take down the Green Lotus Qidao and belong to the Lu Sect, I really lack a military advisor by my side."

Yu Changsheng opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

He Yingcai watched quietly and actually saw the precursor of gnashing teeth on that handsome face?

That's a first~

"Protector, don't worry, I won't go." He Yingcai immediately said, "In the future, Protector, just continue to be yourself; you don't need to make any changes.

I will help the Protector complete the mission together and let you accept me bit by bit."

Yu Changsheng was silent.

After a long time, he sighed deeply: "Why do you bother?"

"Protector, you're joking." He Yingcai's beautiful eyes were incomparably serious, looking directly into Yu Changsheng's eyes, "I have been in the Holy Lingshan for some time.

I know what bitterness is."

Yu Changsheng looked at the woman in front of him.

The dim night made her face a bit blurry, but her firm eyes were exceptionally clear.

For a long time, Yu Changsheng didn't speak again and turned to walk toward the forest where the bonfires were flickering.

Beside him, He Yingcai held the man's arm, her strength very light, but also very steady.

As the two got closer to the bonfire, the woman's hoarse singing drifted into his ears:

"Whether we meet or not, it is an overture dedicated to the years..."

Beside a huge bonfire, Lu Ran held a sharpened wooden branch with a piece of sizzling roasted pork belly on it.

But he didn't feast, instead getting intoxicated by the singing.

The Lu Sect is truly full of talent!

"Just let me follow you, let me follow you~"

"Go to the ferry where we stop at sixty, waiting to be picked up by a small boat..."

The sad and hoarse female voice continued.

As the singing drifted into the night, Jiang Ruyi tilted her body slightly, gently leaning against Lu Ran's shoulder.

Lu Ran turned to look at Jiang Xianzi and said softly: "We won't make it to sixty."

Jiang Ruyi raised her eyelids, slightly dissatisfied: "Don't talk nonsense."

"It's true." Lu Ran nodded and confirmed, "There are only two paths in front of us.

Either die in battle, or live forever."

Jiang Ruyi pondered for a moment and shook her head with a smile.

Indeed, the two might die on this path of resistance.

Or they might seize the divine throne, turn into pure energy bodies, and live forever.

The situation of "dying of old age naturally" does not exist in the options for the two's ending.

But Jiang Ruyi still didn't like Lu Ran's words; she raised her hand, pinched Lu Ran's lips with her slender fingers, and pinched them neither lightly nor heavily.

Lu Ran: "..."

What kind of novel punishment is this?

Too many people, hard to hit my mouth, so you changed it to pinching?

Lu Ran picked up the roasted meat and handed it to Jiang Xianzi's mouth.

What is returning good for evil?

"It must be the latter." Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran and said, until he nodded, she opened her small mouth and gently bit off a small piece of meat.

Golden and crispy, tender and juicy.

The golden grease flowed down the corner of her mouth, extremely alluring.

Lu Ran licked his lips, reached out, wiped her chin with his fingertips, and suddenly froze.

It wasn't because of Jiang Ruyi, but because of his own remarks just now.

He remembered clearly that Master Xianyang had once said that one day, it would perish.

So...

Are all deities and demons really immortal?

"Protector Cong Long is back." Jiang Ruyi reminded him in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran came back to his senses and looked in the direction she indicated.

Looking at this, Lu Ran was stunned!

He saw He Yingcai holding Yu Changsheng's arm, appearing together.

So... so she took him down?

Is it really just a woman chasing a man, separated by a layer of gauze?

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi laughed softly, "Senior Sister He has achieved her wish."

"Hmm." Lu Ran sighed again and again in his heart.

Just how firm is she, and how much reserve has she let go of...

The two walked over together, and He Yingcai let go of his arm at the right time.

Yu Changsheng cupped his hands: "Sect Master, Madam."

He Yingcai greeted immediately, one after the other.

"Sit." Lu Ran pressed his hands repeatedly and brought another skewer of roasted meat, "Come, Protector Cong Long, you haven't eaten roasted meat for a long time, right?

Tonight, let's have a good feast!"

Yu Changsheng:???

You... are you making a double entendre at me?
