Chapter 721: Parting in the Rain

"Mm." Qiao Yuanxi hurriedly reached out and grasped the water-drop-shaped diamond pendant, as if afraid it would run away.

But after just a few seconds, her slightly worried expression became increasingly joyful.

"Mm, mm!" Qiao Yuanxi nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and got up to walk toward the house on the west side.

Who knows what the artifact spirit had communicated with her.

Lu Ran looked at his sister's back and sent a transmission to his mind: 【Shadow One, Shadow Two, protect her well.】

【Yes!】

【Yes.】

Until Qiao Yuanxi disappeared at the door of the house, everyone withdrew their gaze.

The courtyard was silent, save for the sound of the bonfire crackling.

"Let's continue." Lu Ran spoke first, looking at Deng Yutang sitting diagonally opposite, teasing, "Deputy He Tangzhu Deng, are you used to staying in the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Deng Yutang nodded immediately.

Bai Manni, who was leaning on him, also sat up straight: "Thank you, Sect Master."

Lu Ran smiled and waved his hand: "We are family, why be so polite."

Ever since the young couple joined hands to advance to the River Estuary Realm, Deng Yuxiang had her younger brother join the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall was originally controlled by the two Divine Generals, Feng and Yan. Following the Ran Sect's southern expedition, the two generals had accompanied Lu Ran first to conquer the Pear Garden Sect and then to suppress Jingxian Island, and had not been in the cliff for a long time.

Deng Yutang was also promoted to Deputy He Tangzhu.

The words "nepotism" were written all over his face!

Sometimes, Lu Ran even wondered if Young Master Deng had taken the protagonist's script!

He had a beautiful wife and a cute daughter.

He had a brother who could cover the sky with one hand, a sister who held great power, and a grandfather elder who was close to the next generation.

Isn't this purely a winner in life?

"Trained quite well, has some sense of responsibility." Deng Yuxiang said coldly.

She had been sitting beside Deng Yutang, and from beginning to end, Deng Yutang had been shielding his wife with his body, building a simple shelter for Bai Manni, blocking the pressure from the elder sister's side.

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but shake her head and smile.

It was visible to the naked eye that as Deng Yuxiang's voice sounded, Deng Yutang couldn't help but tremble again.

Bai Manni held her husband's hand lovingly, and she didn't dare to say anything about that strong elder sister-in-law.

Lu Ran suddenly said: "Sister Yuxiang, accompany me on this exploration to the southwest."

Deng Yuxiang nodded immediately, looking as if it were a matter of course.

Lu Ran looked at the Deng family's eldest young master, who was suffering, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Brother can only help you this much.

I'll take her away, and you can have a few days of comfort.

Deng Yutang clearly understood Lu Ran's meaning, full of gratitude, but immediately looked away.

His sister was a Sea Realm expert, and so was he; one was at the 4th stage of the Sea Realm, and the other was at the 3rd stage of the Sea Realm, which didn't make much difference to Deng Yutang.

"Let's search carefully." Deng Yuxiang turned her head and looked into the distance, looking at the mountain area shrouded in cold fog, "In this kind of terrain and environment, perhaps there really are human camps hidden here."

Lu Ran agreed in his heart and said: "Mm, I'll send the horses back first, and we'll search carefully."

He didn't think there would be powerful sects entrenched within.

But disciples of weak sects might truly rely on the unique environmental conditions to survive in the mountains.

It was undeniable that the Soul-Locking Mountain was full of demons.

But compared to the outside world...

At least for the weak god disciples, human compatriots were the real man-eating demons.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 722 =====

Her rosy little mouth was stained with golden grease, and that greedy little look made Jiang Ruyi laugh secretly.

"Eat slowly." Jiang Ruyi's finger wiped across the corner of Qiao Yuanxi's mouth.

"Mm, mm." Qiao Yuanxi nodded repeatedly, picking up the roasted pork belly and taking another bite.

Golden, crispy, and full of meat fragrance.

Lu Ran's expression was strange, always feeling that his sister was doing it on purpose.

Little Yuanxi seemed to enjoy Jiang Ruyi's care for her, deliberately eating until her mouth was oily?

Beside her, Bai Manni leaned on Deng Yutang's shoulder, looking at Qiao Yuanxi with some envy.

As a River Estuary Realm person, it was difficult for her to be at ease in front of Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi, and others.

Bai Manni was both envious and confused, not knowing why the Ran God's sister could be so relaxed and comfortable.

Bai Manni could feel that Deng Yutang, who was sitting beside her, was trembling a little.

Hm... well, Deng Yuxiang was next to Deng Yutang, so he should indeed be trembling.

From this point of view, her husband was still very reliable.

Using his thick body to shield her from the terrifying aura of the elder sister, he built a simple shelter for Bai Manni.

"Young Master."

"Hm?" Lu Ran turned around and looked up, seeing Si Xianxian.

"Can you move over there?" Si Xianxian whispered.

Lu Ran snorted, but still made room for the maid.

Si Xianxian hurriedly sat beside Jiang Ruyi and picked up a wooden branch, biting down hard on the pork belly on it.

Also oily at the corners of her mouth, and then looked at the Madam with eager eyes.

Lu Ran rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Heh." Jiang Ruyi smiled and glared at Si Xianxian, "Eating until your mouth is full, what does that look like."

Si Xianxian:?

Isn't this purely differential treatment?

She is the Lu family's daughter, so I really am the Lu family's maid?

"Haha~" Fish Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, earning a fierce glare from the Si maid.

Fish Changsheng immediately covered his face with a paper fan, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

Lu Ran looked over and smiled: "Mr. Conglong has been advancing for half a month, how is the insight?"

"Returning to Sect Master, I am still working hard." Fish Changsheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Sect Master, can you tell me in advance next time you upgrade the ink carp stone sculpture?"

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled embarrassedly.

The advancements of Deng Yuxiang and Jiang Ruyi had a gap of a few days. Lu Ran took the opportunity to go out to sea, recycled the Ink Carp team and the Sea Jiaoren team, and rebuilt a new patrol team.

In this process, the Ink Carp Yemo Yemo Xiesu in Lu Ran's sculpture garden advanced, rushing toward the 3rd stage of the Sea Realm.

The 3rd stage of the Sea Realm was obviously not matching Mr. Conglong's strength realm.

Lu Ran didn't return, but continued to head toward the sea, slaughtering the ink carp group and the sea jiaoren group.

Compared to the Sea Jiaoren Yemo Yemo Xiesu, the Ink Carp Yemo Yemo Xiesu was obviously easier to cultivate.

Because you could easily judge the strength realm of the ink carp clan by their body size.

Lu Ran hid his form, flashed and wandered in the far sea and deep sea, activating the Fire Heavenly Pivot, holding the Jade Ruyi, releasing one after another terrifyingly scaled Immortal Heavenly Pythons, specializing in slaughtering the leaders of the ink carp group!

Until the Ran Sect disciples sent a transmission saying that fog was rising on the cliff again, Lu Ran returned to continue guarding.

Unfortunately, the Ink Carp Yemo Yemo Xiesu failed to advance to the Heaven Realm, eventually settling at the 5th stage of the Sea Realm.

"It's a deal, next time for sure." Fish Changsheng's eyes were dim, looking at his Sect Master, "Fish has been trembling in public, which is somewhat losing face."

"Eh!" Lu Ran agreed, a bit unable to withstand Fish Changsheng's gaze, and hurriedly changed the subject, "The Immortal Sheep said..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting around the bonfire became quiet, and pairs of eyes looked at Lu Ran in unison.

The word "Immortal Sheep" obviously had great lethality to everyone!

Lu Ran's expression also became more serious: "The Immortal Sheep once told me that as long as the level is high enough, one can fuse with the stone sculpture.

I once asked what specific realm was needed, and the Immortal Sheep said..."

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Ran spoke slowly:

"Need to be very, very high!"

Everyone: "..."

If there weren't so many people around, Si Xianxian would really want to "Tsk~" at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran changed the subject: "But I think, Heaven Realm should be enough."

Fish Changsheng shook his paper fan gently and nodded slightly.

Lu Ran's eyes were full of encouragement, looking at the handsome military advisor: "Wait for Mr. Conglong to advance to the Heaven Realm, I will go out to sea for another round and push the Ink Carp Yemo Yemo Xiesu up!

Let's see if the human flesh can truly fuse with the stone sculpture."

Deng Yuxiang said softly: "Mr. Conglong must cultivate insights hard."

Fish Changsheng turned his head, showing a look of inquiry.

Deng Yuxiang rarely had a smile for outsiders, but it was mostly provocative: "I also really want to be the first person to eat crab."

"Hehe." Fish Changsheng laughed dumbly, not thinking that Deng Yuxiang simply wanted to try new things.

It seemed that the Da Da Mengyan Protector wanted to open a path for the Sect Master's cause.

Wanting to be the first Pseudo-God stone statue under Lu Ran.

However, I am afraid it will disappoint the Da Da Mengyan Protector.

Fish Changsheng shook his paper fan gently, with a smile on his face.

Fish, too, really wants to be the first Pseudo-God stone statue under the Sect Master!

"Brother!" Qiao Yuanxi suddenly spoke.

"Hm?"

"Fusing with the stone sculpture, does it become a pure energy body?"

"Should be."

Qiao Yuanxi looked at Jiang Ruyi, then at Lu Ran, opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran was very curious.

Qiao Yuanxi steeled her heart and asked in a low voice: "Then if you and Sister Ruyi become pure energy bodies, can you still have little babies?"

Lu Ran:???

Jiang Ruyi: "..."

For a time, everyone by the bonfire had strange expressions, and their expressions were very wonderful.

Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes flowed, and she swept a glance at Qiao Yuanxi coldly.

"Mm." Qiao Yuanxi shrank her neck in fright, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "I just asked, I want a little nephew or niece to play with... mm."

Following that, Si Xianxian also shrank her neck.

She didn't know where she was wrong, but Jiang Ruyi's aura and eyes...

Anyway, Si Xianxian felt that she was wrong.

"I don't know!" Lu Ran scratched his head, his expression strange, "Should be able to, right? The Demon minions I create all have flesh and blood bodies.

Although they are energy bodies in essence, all the structures of the flesh are complete..."

Jiang Ruyi's face gradually flushed with a blush, and she turned her eyes to Lu Ran.

"Cough, cough." Lu Ran coughed twice, "Besides, you've become a God, not to mention omnipotent, at least the abilities that humans possess, Gods should also be able to... that thing! Give me the meat, I'm hungry."

"Here~" Tian Tian hurriedly picked up a skewer of roasted pork belly and handed it to Lu Ran.

Fish Changsheng timely relieved the situation: "Sect Master, what is the focus of our Ran Sect's work next?"

"You all just develop the subordinate forces well at home, the main task is still your own cultivation and insights." Lu Ran took the roasted meat, "I will continue to head west."

Qiao Yuanxi's heart moved: "Head west?"

Lu Ran bit down a piece of meat: "Mm, starting from Jingxian Mountain, explore westward, traveling light."

There were some people,

He hadn't found yet.

The central Forbidden City, the southern Tiangang City, the Qianzhou Island in the southeast, and the Yunhai Cliff and Jingxian Mountain near the East and South Seas.

The radiation range of these areas was very wide, yet he still couldn't wait for the people Lu Ran wanted.

Since that was the case, he would go to the southwestern region of the Holy Lingshan continent to take a look!

"Brother!"

Hearing this word again, Lu Ran felt his scalp tingle! He was afraid that his sister would say something shocking again.
