Chapter 733: Top-Top-Grade Sign

Deep in the rainforest, the crisp whipping sounds continued.

"Snap! Snap! Snap—"

Chang Ying pursed her lips tightly and curled up on the ground, holding her head.

Her tattered clothes were whipped to shreds by the long whip, and her body was covered in dense whip marks, skin and flesh torn, constantly flowing with wisps of fresh blood.

Blood dripping, shocking to the eye.

She didn't make a sound, silently enduring everything; the pain coming from her body made her feel that she was still alive.

But her eyes became increasingly unfocused.

"Hoo—" Shen Xiaotang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The Valley Master finally stopped, finally venting the depression in her chest these days.

Looking at Chang Ying, who was curled up on the ground like a dead dog, Shen Xiaotang couldn't help but snort and ordered:

"Drag her to the dungeon, don't allow treatment, lock her up directly!"

"Yes, Valley Master." A man stepped forward quickly, grabbed Chang Ying's ankle, and walked away quickly.

For the Valley Master's order, the subordinate certainly didn't dare to disobey; Valley Master Shen demanded to "drag," so she must be dragged.

"Rustle~"

The rainforest was lush with vegetation, and wherever Chang Ying passed, the grass leaves were stained with fresh blood, and the ground was also stained blood-red.

A moment later, an invisible figure flew from high in the sky, constantly searching for something.

Palace?

Lu Ran frowned slightly; in this rainforest deep away from the main building, he saw a palace that had already taken shape, and also saw many slaves wearing miscellaneous clothes.

A few men and women wearing black clothes looked like supervisors.

The most special person was the woman holding the long whip.

Her clothes were the most luxurious, wearing a purple robe, the long whip in her hand still dripping with blood, her face expressionless, looking at the slaves working diligently.

Under the woman's gaze, the group of slaves worked harder, not daring to speak, as if they didn't even dare to breathe.

This woman must be Shen Xiaotang, right?

The long whip dripping with blood in her hand...

Lu Ran's hostility surged, and he had already thought of something! Before, Flying Eagle Hall Master indicated that Chang Ying was being whipped—hmm?

That is?

Lu Ran's eyes condensed; in the deep forest next to the palace, there was a bloody path, and he couldn't care about much, hurriedly flying over.

This bloody path led him to the entrance of a cave.

Lu Ran went deep along the "bloody path" and faintly heard people talking.

"Valley Master Shen ordered, no treatment allowed."

"But Master, she has so many wounds on her body, and they are so deep, if she is left to bleed..."

"Stop your damn nonsense! The Valley Master ordered no treatment! If she can live, let her live; if she can't, let her die! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master."

"Yes." The voices of two women came.

"If you two dare not to listen to the order, the same fate awaits you." The man said coldly and turned to leave.

Lu Ran's face was incomparably gloomy; listening to the approaching footsteps, a plum fragrance suddenly emanated from his body.

Ice Plum Demon Empress evil art · Soul-Absorbing Cold Fragrance!

The man's footsteps stopped abruptly, not only feeling a trace of cold breath but also smelling the faint fragrance.

This is?

In a flash, the man froze in place, mentally dazed, confused, and completely intoxicated by the cold fragrance.

Five thin red lines probed quietly, stuck to the man's body, dragged him out, and sent him directly into a floor mirror.

【Wu Xiao.】

【Sect Master?】 A deep voice came.

【Force him to tear up the contract, use any means! Just don't let him die!】 Lu Ran's face was incomparably gloomy.

Jingting remnants, one by one!

Everything they caused Chang Ying to suffer, Lu Ran wants Chang Ying to pay back with her own hands!

【Yes!】 In his mind, Wu Xiao's deep voice came.

Lu Ran looked into the depths of the tunnel; the faint light came from two Master Master Hua Deng disciples holding lanterns.

They were wearing miscellaneous clothes, clearly not the ruling class.

It could be seen that the Jingting remnants were short of manpower and sent Master Master Hua Deng disciples to act as jailers, and by the way, act as healing physicians; I guess every person thrown into the prison was tortured very miserably, right?

"You two, shut up." Lu Ran flashed in directly.

The two Master Master Hua Deng female disciples were startled, only feeling a blur before their eyes, seeing a mysterious person wearing a green coir raincoat and a bamboo hat.

And the Sea Realm pressure emanating from this person, as well as the surging anger, made the two of them stop breathing, how would they dare to have any resistance?

Under the illumination of the dark red lantern, Lu Ran took a step, his voice seeming to have a trace of trembling: "Chang Ying?"

Inside the cave, the "dead dog" covered in bruises was curled up on the ground, motionless.

Yet she still had her eyes open.

Her eyes were unfocused, her face sluggish, her whole body flowing with blood, constantly staining the ground red.

Lu Ran hurriedly stepped forward, lifting Chang Ying up, while sending a small black carp with his left hand and passing black flames with his right hand.

Mo Li evil art · Survival Carp!

Black Lantern evil art · Fire in the Cage (Bath)!

"Hoo~"

Black flames ignited on Chang Ying's body, healing the dense whip marks on her body and also healing her spirit.

"Chang Ying?" Lu Ran called softly, "Chang Ying?"

This is his high school classmate, his former team member.

Lu Ran still remembered that on the first day after he worshipped the deity, he saw this divine-stick girl in the school corridor.

She blocked the corridor, divining for people everywhere, and finally opened business with Lu Ran.

To this day, Lu Ran still owes her divination money.

A pack of spicy strips.

The story started here.

Later, she and Lu Ran stood outside the school gate, looking at the list posted on the wall, and snatched his fish canned food to eat.

Later, the team was short of people; she shouted and shouted, saying she drew a top-top-grade sign, and joined Lu Ran's team joyfully.

Later...

Experience after experience in the demon cave, sign after sign, good or rotten.

The dark-skinned girl who was always careless, with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness all on her face.

It's just that all those expressions—whether laughing, angry, or muttering—finally turned into this sluggish face in front of Lu Ran.

Empty eyes, blood-stained face.

Hanging arms, a dead heart.

"Chang Ying, wake up, Chang Ying—" Lu Ran called out, without the rage just now, leaving only worry and heartache.

It seems there is also a bit of guilt.

The dark-skinned girl burning with black flames seemed to be burned, but the gentle flames brought extreme comfort, making her feel like she was soaking in a hot spring.

Her eyes were still lifeless, and her mouth finally made a vague sound: "Ugh."

Lu Ran became energetic, supporting her back with one hand, and constantly wiping the blood from her face with his right hand: "Chang Ying?"

The girl suddenly looked over.

Under the illumination of the dark red lantern, in her blurred vision, she saw a face that was both strange and familiar.

"Lu..."

"Yes, me, it's me!" Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, continuing to pass the fire in the cage to her with his right hand, and summoning a return-to-life carp with his left hand, pressing it on her lower abdomen.

Chang Ying stared blankly at the face in front of her, stunned for a long time, and slowly raised her hand.

That long finger poked Lu Ran's face, muttering incredibly: "How is it possible..."

"It's me, it's me." Lu Ran said, immediately sending a transmission, 【Ruyi, pick someone up at the backyard of Yunhai Residence.】

【Okay.】 The sudden transmission made Jiang Ruyi a little surprised, but she still went quickly.

However, she waited for a while but didn't see the floor mirror open.

In the dark prison of Starry Sky Valley in the southwest of the Holy Spirit Mountain continent.

The girl with black flames on her body wrapped her arms around Lu Ran with trembling arms, burying her blood-stained face in his neck, rubbing left and right, muttering to herself:

"How is it possible, is it true..."

The voice was so small and light that it broke Lu Ran's heart.

"How is it impossible, didn't you draw a top-top-grade sign?" Lu Ran patted her back gently, only feeling the arms wrapped around him tightening and loosening from time to time.

Tight, perhaps she was afraid he would leave.

Loose, perhaps she still couldn't determine the authenticity of the person in front of her, fearing that if she used a little force, this beautiful illusion would shatter.

"Lu Ran, Lu Ran..."

Muttering words kept coming from Lu Ran's neck.

As she spoke, a trace of sobbing entered the voice, until the crying could no longer be suppressed: "Lu Ran... wuwuwu Lu Ran..."

The girl's sobbing sound made even the two Master Master Hua Deng disciples outside the prison feel sour in their noses.

In this cruel world, they were used to life and death, and they had seen too many slaves who were cruelly tortured and thrown into prison.

But the girl's sobbing was too tragic.

Touching the last bit of softness remaining in the depths of everyone's hearts.

"It hurts so much, Lu Ran, she whipped me, whipped me—wuwu—it hurts so much—"

"I will avenge you." Lu Ran's heart trembled violently, and his whole body was about to explode.

"No, don't! Don't!" Chang Ying hurriedly let go of the embrace.

She said urgently with tears in her eyes: "Let's go quickly, let's escape! They are Dongting disciples, they..."

Chang Ying's words stopped.

Her brain wasn't very clear, and she had been ignoring the fire in the cage and the survival carp.

But she couldn't ignore the floor mirror opened beside her.

"You go to a safe place first." Lu Ran released the thread-pulling lines from his hand, sticking to Chang Ying's body, carefully sending her toward the floor mirror, "Give me some time, I will make Shen Xiaotang kneel in front of you."

"Lu—" The girl's vague voice stopped abruptly, only feeling the sky bright.

The dark dungeon was gone, and the damp and moldy smell disappeared.

Replacing it was the blue sky and white clouds.

It was the faint fragrance of jasmine.

Jiang Ruyi's face stiffened, looking at the girl covered in blood, she hurriedly stepped forward to hug the girl and placed her on the ground carefully.

Chang Ying?!

No matter what, Jiang Ruyi couldn't have imagined that the person Lu Ran sent was Chang Ying.

"Ah!" An exclamation came from the east wing.

Under the Immortal Jasmine tree, Tian Tian, who was cultivating diligently, stood up abruptly and ran toward this side: "Yingying? Is it... Chang Ying?"

In the peaceful Yunhai Residence, this exclamation was even more ear-piercing.

Qiao Yuanxi also leaned over, seeing Chang Ying covered in blood, and hurriedly released the fire in the cage.

And outside the thick courtyard wall on the north side, the pseudo-evil deity · Soul-Splitting Demon who was guarding the gate came to the front of the mansion gate, looking curiously into the courtyard through the crack in the door.

And with this look, Niu Zhengzheng widened his eyes and pushed open the gate!

"I..." Chang Ying lay softly on the ground, looking at the familiar faces above, her eyes becoming increasingly confused, "Am I... dead?"

"No, no." Tian Tian's eyes were red, looking at Chang Ying's miserable state, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, picked up Chang Ying's head, and let Chang Ying pillow in her arms, "Yingying, what's wrong with you, what is this... you..."

Chang Ying stared blankly at Tian Tian, seeing little Yuanxi, seeing Jiang Ruyi.

Chang Ying stared blankly at Tian Tian, seeing little Yuanxi and seeing Jiang Ruyi.

Chang Ying lay on her back, looking up at face after face.

In a trance, she returned to Starry Sky Valley, returned to a quiet night.

The stars in the night sky finally turned into faces that truly existed, appearing in her starry sky.

"Heh."

Suddenly, Chang Ying smiled.

Clearly, tears and blood were mixed on her face, incomparably embarrassed, but her smile was so infectious.

Smiling incomparably happily.

She slowly raised her hand, touching the stars in the sky.

So...

Top-top-grade sign.

Asking for some monthly tickets.
