Chapter 658

The nineteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the first day the city was unsealed.

In Rainy Alley City, in an ordinary residential house.

A middle-aged couple was putting on shoes at the door, and the woman kept urging: "Mom and Dad are going to work, you be good at home alone."

"Hmm hmm." A petite girl with short hair nodded obediently.

The middle-aged woman put on high heels, turned her head to see her daughter's cute little appearance, and couldn't help but look at her with loving eyes: "Don't open the door to strangers, you know?"

"Stop nagging." The man said with a smile, "Our Tian Tian is a Sword Lotus believer, very powerful, isn't that right?"

Tian Tian was a bit shy and protested: "Oh~ Dad!"

"Haha." The man let out a light laugh and turned to walk out the door.

Tian Tian, she was clearly a twenty-year-old girl, and a powerful warrior who often entered demon caves and guarded the city on the night of the fifteenth!

But the couple still treated their daughter as a child.

Perhaps it had to do with Tian Tian's cute appearance, or perhaps with her introverted personality.

Tian Tian saw her parents out until they disappeared at the stairwell, and then gently closed the door.

"Click~"

Tian Tian sighed while locking the door.

The summer break was about to end, and she had to go to school again; she wondered how Chang Ying was doing now.

How was Manni's postpartum recovery...

"Buzz~ buzz~"

A mobile phone vibration sound came from the bedroom.

Tian Tian came back to her senses, flapped her short legs, ran back to the bedroom, and picked up the phone from the computer desk.

The next moment, Tian Tian's almond eyes widened slightly.

In the message list, there appeared a person who hadn't been contacted for a long, long time.

Tian Tian had looked at this WeChat avatar countless times in private, in the dead of night.

That was by the Wu Lie River under the moonlight, a tall girl in a white dress, with a cold expression, quietly looking at the river water.

"Sister Ruyi..."

Tian Tian muttered, holding the phone with her small hands, even trembling a bit.

How long had it been?

One year? Or two years?

In the chat box, most were messages sent by Tian Tian, and the other party rarely responded.

Especially in the last year, there were only messages sent by Tian Tian, and Sister Ruyi hadn't responded again.

Gradually, Tian Tian sent fewer messages.

Sensibly no longer disturbing the other party.

She and Sister Ruyi never seemed to be on the same path.

In high school, Jiang Ruyi was a famous figure in the school, a famous top student, and the recognized Beauty Jiang.

That demeanor and radiance were something Tian Tian would feel secretly inferior about just by looking from afar.

It was just later, by a twist of fate.

She joined Jiang Ruyi's team and from then on had a gentle Sister Ruyi.

However,

They weren't on the same path after all.

They were just coincidentally assigned together to spend part of the time in their senior year of high school.

After graduation, they were bound to part ways.

Sister Ruyi didn't stay at Wu Lie River University for long; just after school started, she left school for Lady Luo Xianshan and later became a Jiang Jing expert.

Became the high and mighty Lady of the Human Sect.

All kinds of noble identities, for Tian Tian, were simpler: Sister Ruyi had turned back into the Jiang Goddess who was out of her reach during high school.

Drifting further and further away.

And today, Jiang Ruyi actually sent a message?

"Sister Ruyi..." Tian Tian muttered in a low voice, both nervous and expectant, her small hands clicking on the chat box.

A string of cold text came into view:

Wu Lie River Residential Area, Building 2 Rooftop.

Confidential.

"Ugh." Tian Tian read it over and over again, confirming once more that the message was sent by Jiang Ruyi, and then looked at the wardrobe.

She hurriedly stepped forward and quickly changed her clothes.

At the same time, by the Wu Lie River, on the dilapidated rooftop.

A tall figure stood in the corner of the rooftop; she wore a duck-billed cap, casually draped a white knitted cardigan, wore a white T-shirt and jeans, and stepped on a pair of white sneakers.

Although the attire was ordinary, compared to the retro-style long dress, it could better show her figure.

Especially those high-waisted jeans!

Making those long legs look even more slender...

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi turned her head slightly.

Accompanied by faint energy fluctuations, Lu Ran appeared quietly.

"Good fellow~" Lu Ran clicked his tongue secretly.

It had been three days since returning to the human world, and the two of them had long since changed into modern clothes.

But every time he saw her, Lu Ran's eyes would light up!

And light up again...

For Lu Ran, the cardigan draped over his girlfriend's body was truly hateful!

Without this piece of clothing, he could feast his eyes even more, see her proud body lines, and see her small waist...

"Did Tian Tian receive the message?" Jiang Ruyi reached out, her slender fingers waving in front of Lu Ran's eyes.

"Ah!" Lu Ran came back to his senses, "Received, and then she hurriedly opened the wardrobe; I saw she was going to change clothes, so I hurried back."

Jiang Ruyi gave Lu Ran a white look with a smile.

Consider you honest!

I have to say, Greedy Wolf Divine Technique: Wolf Concealment is simply a god-level skill for committing crimes!

Combined with the teleportation technique, it's just two big words:

Invincible!

It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Ran is purely a scourge in modern society...

Fortunately, he is not a wicked person.

Otherwise, it would really be a mess.

"That's for sure~" Lu Ran grinned, "Has Dad finished eating?"

How would I know!

Jiang Ruyi felt a bit helpless, looked at the railing in the corner of the rooftop, where a carton of milk and a piece of bread were placed: "Only put there a few minutes ago, wait a while longer."

"It's fine, he eats fast." Lu Ran stepped forward and picked up the milk.

Jiang Ruyi slapped Lu Ran in dissatisfaction, blaming him: "Put it back."

Lu Ran: "..."

He put the milk carton back on the railing, turned around, and sat down leaning against the stone wall.

Dirty, it doesn't matter.

This kind of floating dust wouldn't take long to be "washed" clean by the Water Flow Armor.

He looked up at his girlfriend: "It's still summer, late August in the solar calendar, aren't you hot wearing a knitted cardigan?"

Jiang Ruyi seemed to see through Lu Ran's little thoughts, swept a glance at him coldly, and looked at the phone:

"Do you think Tian Tian will agree to go with me?"

Lu Ran thought for a while and said: "She should, she really admires you and relies on you quite a bit."

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips and whispered: "After advancing to the Jiang Jing, I... to my previous teammates..."

"That's not your problem, don't blame yourself." Lu Ran's voice softened, comforting his girlfriend, "This path of ascending to heaven is a path of gradually losing human color.

And you were holed up in the mountains every day at that time, thinking only of cultivation and improvement."

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi responded lightly.

Under the god-demon power system, she was indeed the normal cultivator.

The abnormal one was Lu Ran!

He still cared.

"I..." Lu Ran was about to say something else, but paused slightly, listening for a moment.

Immediately, Lu Ran's figure turned invisible.

He couldn't appear in front of Tian Tian, but Jiang Ruyi could.

After all, ever since Jiang Ruyi moved into the Xianyang sect: Lady Luo Xianshan, she had gradually lost contact with the outside world.

This performance instead became a very good "buffer zone."

Later, no one knew that Jiang Ruyi was summoned by God: Yu Fu and thrown into Holy Lingshan.

"Hehe..."

A petite figure ran onto the rooftop, panting, looking around.

Tian Tian blinked, and sure enough, in the corner of the rooftop, she saw a strange yet familiar back.

Mostly strange, the sense of familiarity was almost non-existent.

Jiang Ruyi had changed too much.

The girl who was just over 1.7 meters tall in high school was now 1.77 meters.

Her ponytail hanging from the back of her duck-billed cap reached her waist, no longer hanging down her back like before.

What made Tian Tian even more afraid to recognize her was the powerful aura the woman exuded.

It was vastly different from the gentle Sister Ruyi of the past.

"Sister Ruyi?" Tian Tian called out cautiously.

Jiang Ruyi turned slightly, a gentle smile on her face: "Come."

"Ugh." Tian Tian's heart panicked, her face, which had been flushed from running, actually turned slightly pale, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Jiang Ruyi turned around, once again facing away from the girl, and whispered: "Scared you."

She could feel that Tian Tian was only at the Jiang Jing, not yet having taken the first step toward becoming a god.

Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi had stayed in Holy Lingshan for too long, and would have an illusion that the whole world was Jiang Jing, and a small part was Sea Realm.

How could that be?

Mist Realm and Stream Realm were the mainstream of the believer group!

And people like Tian Tian, who were at the Jiang Jing, were already considered strong.

Strong enough to join a Moon-Gazing People team, guard the city, and protect the people!

Holy Lingshan was the deformed existence!

Those qualified to enter the mountain were all strictly selected by the gods from among millions of believers.

"I... I..." Tian Tian stammered, looking at Jiang Ruyi's back.

Since that first glance, Tian Tian felt that the figure was like a great mountain, pressing heavily on her body.

Making it difficult for her even to breathe.

Lu Ran was invisible, watching this scene silently, and a thought popped into his heart.

Perhaps, he shouldn't disturb Tian Tian.

Perhaps, if she stayed in the human world with Jiang Jing strength, she wouldn't be picked out by God: Sword Lotus and thrown into the mountain...

Suddenly, Lu Ran was overjoyed.

Because that petite figure was trembling as she took a step.

Step by step, she walked toward Jiang Ruyi.

"Wow!" Lu Ran exclaimed in his heart.

A seemingly simple action actually required great courage!

If Jiang Ruyi was only Jiang Jing, that would be fine, but she was already at Sea Realm, Second Stage.

She didn't need to do anything; just standing there quietly was enough to deter weak creatures.

Yes!

Tian Tian, walk, keep walking!

Lu Ran muttered in his heart, watching Tian Tian endure the fear, walking toward Jiang Ruyi step by step.

Closer!

Walk closer.

The road ahead, we will walk together...

"Ugh." A muffled sound came from behind Jiang Ruyi.

That petite figure actually hugged Jiang Ruyi's waist from behind.

Lu Ran was quite surprised.

Such an intimate action was something he hadn't expected.

Tian Tian's emotions were clearly abnormal; otherwise, after not seeing each other for so long, wouldn't there be a bit of awkwardness or distance?

Jiang Ruyi was also surprised, looking down at the pair of small hands wrapped around her lower abdomen.

Gradually, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she gently patted Tian Tian's small hands, asking softly:

"Missed me?"

"Ugh, missed, missed so much..."
