Chapter 661
Qiao Yuanxi looked up suddenly, feeling a blur before her eyes.
Beside her, which had been empty, a figure suddenly appeared.
Qiao Yuanxi's eyes were full of disbelief.
That gentle smiling face seemed to be real, not like it was in her longing and memories, nor like it was in a dream.
"Don't recognize me anymore?" Lu Ran patted little Yuanxi's head.
"Brother?" The girl's voice was very light, as if afraid that if the sound was too loud, it would disturb her dream and let the figure in front of her dissipate.
"Long time no see, little Yuanxi."
Qiao Yuanxi didn't respond, but extended a pair of white, tender little hands, pulled down the hand Lu Ran had placed on her head, and squeezed it hard.
Confirming the reality of the young man in front of her again and again.
Lu Ran smiled: "What, don't believe it!"
He subconsciously hugged the girl who had rushed into his arms, staggering back a step.
Qiao Yuanxi had been kneeling in front of the Xiang Xianyang stone sculpture.
When she got up and rushed into Lu Ran's arms, it was like a player diving for a header on a football field.
Her head hit Lu Ran's lower abdomen first.
Hmm... was there an intentional component?
Lu Ran didn't dodge.
He even thoughtfully canceled the Water Flow Armor.
This is his own precious baby, what if her head gets hurt?
"You're back." Qiao Yuanxi's arms were tightly wrapped around Lu Ran's neck, burying her head in the side of his face.
Whispering, as if murmuring in a dream.
"Hmm." Lu Ran gently rubbed little Yuanxi's head with one hand, sighing that the sister of the past had already become a big girl.
Actually, as early as when Qiao Yuanxi climbed the mountain, Lu Ran had accompanied her all the way.
When he saw the girl who used to be quirky and clever, turning into a vast river, wearing an elegant black dress, stepping on high heels, and showing such grace in every move...
Lu Ran was indeed full of emotion.
This path of cultivation indeed changes people greatly.
If he could, Lu Ran still wanted that naughty little guy, or rather, he missed that little follower who followed behind his butt every day even more.
"Stinky brother, still scaring me! Put away your aura! I'm going to bite you!" A dissatisfied voice entered his ear.
Lu Ran: "..."
Is the dream so easy to realize?
Did the elegant lady just turn back into little Yuanxi?
"Hey! Hey?" Lu Ran was stunned, only to feel a pain in his ear.
Really biting!
He tilted his head back, but his earlobe was still being bitten by little Yuanxi, naturally being pulled a bit longer.
It hurt even more.
Lu Ran hurriedly said: "Lord Xiang Xianyang is still here, this is the Respecting Immortal Hall!"
"Oh." Qiao Yuanxi also reacted and hurriedly let go.
Her small face turned bright red in a flash.
Lu Ran quickly opened the teleportation mirror and moved to the side; Qiao Yuanxi's arms were still tightly wrapped around Lu Ran's neck, refusing to let go, as if afraid he would run away.
So much so that she was tilted, and was "dragged" into the ancient bronze mirror by Lu Ran.
The ancient bronze mirror quietly dissipated, and the Respecting Immortal Hall returned to its usual silence.
It seemed like nothing had happened.
Only a lonely sun hat was left on the ground.
"Be gentle, I'm going to be strangled to death by you." In the hall of Lady Luo Xian Residence, Lu Ran said helplessly.
"Dead is fine, dead is worry-free." Qiao Yuanxi still closed her eyes, whispering softly, "Save me from missing you again..."
Lu Ran: "..."
Is that also a way?
I have to say, little Yuanxi is indeed a character!
She didn't react to his Evil Mirror Evil Technique: Mirror Flower Moon.
It's estimated that she hadn't noticed it yet.
"Alright, alright, I won't run anymore." Lu Ran patted her back.
"Hmph." Qiao Yuanxi used her arms to forcefully strangle Lu Ran's neck in revenge, then took a step back.
She didn't find the Mirror Flower Moon.
Lu Ran also didn't find that her eye sockets were already red.
There are only a few ways to comfort people. Lu Ran understood Qiao Yuanxi, and he chose the most effective one.
"Yo, a little pearl~" Lu Ran smiled and reached out, poking the tiny teardrop under her eye socket.
"Go." Qiao Yuanxi spat lightly and pushed Lu Ran away.
Very unladylike.
Since the two met, this River Estuary Realm expert respected by the world seemed to have turned back into the appearance before the River Realm.
Qiao Yuanxi raised her beautiful face, wiped her eye sockets with her fingers, and shook her head; that soft long hair flowed like a waterfall, and her hairstyle was organized just like that.
Her hand that wiped away tears fell to her forehead, slightly hooking her ring finger, elegantly brushing aside a strand of long hair on the side of her forehead.
This inadvertent gesture made Lu Ran feel a bit dazed.
Such an elegant goddess-like action was something he would only see from Jiang Ruyi or Leng Xuanshuang.
His sister had indeed grown up.
He could no longer treat her like a naughty little ghost as before.
Thinking of this, Lu Ran felt a bit nervous.
After all, he hadn't asked for Qiao Yuanxi's opinion in advance, but directly asked Lord Xiang Xianyang for help, and came up with a "act first, report later" move.
Little Yuanxi would be very angry, right?
But Lu Ran had to do this; Qiao Yuanxi was already a River Estuary Realm expert, he really couldn't afford to gamble.
What if one day the god had a whim and searched out Qiao Yuanxi from among the millions of disciples, and summoned her for a pilgrimage...
"Hey?" Qiao Yuanxi finally realized something was wrong, looking around, "How did we come to Lady Luo Xian Residence?"
Lu Ran came back to his senses and smiled: "We can't keep disturbing Lord Xiang Xianyang."
Hearing the word "Xiang Xianyang," Qiao Yuanxi's attention was immediately diverted, thinking of her contract being torn up just now.
Seeing Qiao Yuanxi's slightly furrowed brows, Lu Ran said: "I asked Lord Xiang Xianyang to do this."
Qiao Yuanxi's brows furrowed deeper, looking at Lu Ran.
But she saw her brother's apologetic appearance, and the fire in her heart dissipated by more than half.
Lu Ran opened his mouth: "I..."
"Your aura is so strong." Qiao Yuanxi suddenly spoke, the originally slightly annoyed eyes becoming a bit curious, "Don't tell me you're Sea Realm?"
Lu Ran was a bit numb.
This little Yuanxi, her little brain turns too fast, and the topic changes with every sentence.
Who can stand this!
"Yes, Sea Realm, Second Stage." Lu Ran nodded.
Qiao Yuanxi immediately smiled, those iconic crescent-like smiling eyes:
"I knew it, you wouldn't deliberately scare me."
Lu Ran: "..."
So you were struggling with this.
I thought my advancing to the Sea Realm was the point.
It was my brother's fault for not knowing good from bad.
Lu Ran asked: "Are you River Estuary Realm, middle stage?"
"Yo~ good eye!" Qiao Yuanxi said proudly, smiling, "Since you left, my strength has soared!"
"Amazing, amazing." Lu Ran praised repeatedly, naturally not wanting to be a killjoy.
"Then did you see the problem?" Qiao Yuanxi stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly, looking at Lu Ran prettily.
Lu Ran was a bit puzzled: "What problem?"
Qiao Yuanxi said seriously: "You are blocking me!"
Lu Ran:?
"Hehe~" Qiao Yuanxi covered her mouth and laughed; in just a few words, the whole person became lively and bright.
Lu Ran resisted the urge to roll his eyes and hummed, pulling the topic back: "You have indeed grown a lot, your heart is very strong."
"How so?"
Lu Ran shrugged: "Ordinary River Estuary Realm people will feel panicked when they see me."
Qiao Yuanxi sat down on the armchair and raised her pretty face, with a hint of a smile in her eyes: "Can't it be that you love me, so I don't feel much threat?"
Lu Ran was stunned.
Just like how the Xunluo couple treats their children?
Qiao Yuanxi elegantly overlapped her legs, tidying her skirt, looking nonchalant: "Just like Mom treats us."
Mentioning her mother, Lu Ran fell silent.
Including little Yuanxi and other friends, Lu Ran dared to ask Lord Xiang Xianyang for help and forcibly tear up the contract.
But Mother...
Lu Ran didn't dare.
Lord Xiang Xianyang couldn't possibly take such a risk.
Mother is different from all living beings; she is the Peak Master of Jinghong Peak, one of the nine great spiritual mountains of the Sword One sect, and the one specially paid attention to by the gods!
Up to this moment, Lu Ran didn't even dare to contact Mother's guard: Chen Jingjing.
"Don't worry about her." Qiao Yuanxi saw Lu Ran silent and curled her lip, "She is so strong, how could anything happen to her."
"Has Mom become the Peak Master of Jinghong Peak?"
"No."
"Oh." Lu Ran nodded.
Really don't know what kind of relationship Mother and God: Sword One have.
Qiao Yuanxi looked at Lu Ran and finally asked: "This matter of my contract being torn up..."
What should come will come.
Lu Ran looked at his sister, his expression apologetic: "I'm sorry."
Qiao Yuanxi laughed: "No need, you did this, there must be a reason."
Lu Ran's expression was a bit complex.
To say he wasn't moved would be a lie.
Little Yuanxi didn't blame him, and even her annoyance only lasted for a short while; more of it was trust in him.
Almost unconditional trust.
"It's like this..." Lu Ran sat in another armchair and told the story.
Little Yuanxi, who had been smiling, also gradually became grim.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly oppressive.
Until Lu Ran finished explaining everything, the hall fell into silence again.
Don't know how long it took, Qiao Yuanxi whispered: "So, you stayed in that ghost place for a year and a half."
"Hmm." Lu Ran nodded.
Qiao Yuanxi lowered her head silently, feeling sour in her heart, secretly muttering: "I told you, little Yuanxi.
You have to hold back, you can't throw a little tantrum..."
"Yuanxi?"
"Hmm?"
"As I just said, I have prepared a stone sculpture for you, do... do you want to become the Evil God: Black Lantern?" Lu Ran looked at his sister, who was bowing her head and not speaking, and asked.
After not getting a response from Qiao Yuanxi for a long time, Lu Ran added: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, brother has other stone sculptures, we can discuss it."
The dignified Master of Gods and Demons was actually so cautious.
"Hehe~" Qiao Yuanxi's emotions came and went quickly.
She smiled, looking at her brother.
Facts have proven that the vast river is not terrified.
Instead, it's the vast sea who is timid~
Qiao Yuanxi supported her chin with her palm, just looking at Lu Ran gently.
You have returned to my side.
From now on, you won't leave me behind again, right?
Really good.
