Chapter 110: Tool Immortal?

Chapter 110: Tool Immortal?

"No!" Si Xianxian finally spoke up, pointing at Lu Ran, "I'm a River Realm, a Second Stage River Realm! You're just a puny Stream Realm, Third Stage, and I could crush you with one hand! How dare you?"

Lu Ran grinned, "As long as you don't forget your gratitude, I can save your life, and you'll owe me forever."

"Hiss!" Si Xianxian gasped, taking in a breath of cool air.

So straightforward and confident?

Not even a hint of acting?

Her delicate figure leaned back, and she plopped down on the sofa again.

"It's only right to repay kindness with gratitude!" Si Caiqin nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Lu Ran, I assure you! Even if my daughter is a mess, at least she knows to differentiate between gratitude and grudges!"

Si Xianxian: ???

What's going on here?

Why is she defending me now?

"Haha." Lu Ran watched as Si Xianxian widened her beautiful eyes, looking bewildered, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The doting mother's 'killing' effect was perfect!

"Mmm." Si Xianxian covered her head with her hands and scratched it in distress.

Lu Ran suddenly asked, "Do you have any plans recently?"

Si Caiqin asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Lu Ran?"

Lu Ran: "There's also a Demon Cave near Rain Alley City. I want to go there and take a look."

Currently, his three teammates were at home, diligently cultivating and pushing for the Third Stage of the Stream Realm to master their new spells.

Lu Ran, now alone, saw this as an opportunity to cultivate his Evil Sculpture.

The Evil Dog Sculpture in his garden was only at the Third Stage of the Stream Realm.

With Si Xianxian's explosive offensive power, he should make good use of her! Ideally, he wanted to cultivate the Evil Dog Sculpture to the River Realm before the tenth day of the next lunar month.

That way, Lu Ran could later bring his teammates to the Evil Dog Village.

"Sure, I'll accompany you," Si Caiqin said, then added with some concern, "Lu Ran, you've only rested at home for a day. Are you sure you're in good condition?"

"Auntie, you don't need to come," Lu Ran advised, "I'll go with Si Xianxian to practice. I want to get familiar with her combat style and see how we can work together."

Si Caiqin hesitated, "But..."

Lu Ran: "Auntie and I both experienced the battle at Black Grave Ridge. These past few days, you've been running around visiting, and you must be tired too. It's better if you rest in the city."

Lu Ran could only phrase it this way.

For this trip, he was aiming for the River Realm Evil Dog.

He couldn't directly say that Auntie's strength wasn't sufficient.

Suddenly, Si Xianxian spoke up, "Did I say I wanted to go?"

Lu Ran smiled, "We can form a duo and see how our teamwork goes. Who knows, we might have a great time killing demons!"

Si Xianxian glared at Lu Ran, her fair and lovely face turning red.

"Xianxian, you go with Lu Ran," Si Caiqin finally made up her mind, "It's been a long time since you teamed up with someone your age. When you're with me, you have to split your attention to take care of me. It's different with Lu Ran."

As the mother and daughter conversed, Lu Ran's thoughts became more active.

A few days ago, while training in the Black Lantern Demon Cavern, he witnessed Chang Ying losing repeatedly, unable to draw the desired talismans.

The most heartbreaking moment was when Chang Ying's life was at stake, and out of six talismans, she drew a broken one!

Was this just bad luck?

Lu Ran felt he had seen a so-called deity who would do anything for faith.

The Spirit Oracle seemed to disregard the lives of its believers, forcing Chang Ying to pray with doubled devotion.

At that moment, Lu Ran thought: Why not have Chang Ying switch to worship the False Spirit Oracle in his garden?

Once this idea emerged, it became unstoppable.

Since the Spirit Oracle can't take care of its own believers, I'll do it for you!

Just look at how you're after faith.

I suspect you're all talk and no action when it comes to fighting demons.

After all, only with the continuous invasion and slaughter of the demons can the Spirit Oracle receive a steady supply of human faith.

If the demon clan were to be annihilated, this fact would be unsettling, but upon closer inspection, it is an objective reality!

Chang Ying's situation, combined with the unique rules of the Spirit Oracle sect, made it hard for Lu Ran not to think along these lines.

With so many believers kneeling before you every day, feeding and supporting you, and you pull this stunt?

In that case, the False Spirit Oracle in my garden might be able to replace you!

Now, back to the Blazing Heaven believer before him.

Clearly, Si Xianxian was also deeply influenced by her deity!

The Deity of Blazing Heaven didn't seem as greedy as the Deity of the Spirit Oracle.

At least Lu Ran hadn't witnessed it yet.

However, the fact that Blazing Heaven pushes human believers towards self-destruction is an objective reality.

Si Xianxian's living environment was terrible, facing rejection and exclusion, and she was already on the path of 'self-destruction.'

Lu Ran didn't know if this was due to the inherent nature of the Deity of Blazing Heaven or if there was some hidden intention.

Every year, the casualty reports included a significant number of human believers killed by the hammers of 'insane' Blazing Heaven followers.

Among them were some exceptionally powerful individuals.

Lu Ran frowned slightly, hoping he was overthinking it.

Ever since witnessing the true face of the Deity of the Spirit Oracle, he couldn't help but think negatively.

Anyway, if Si Xianxian were to switch to worship me...

The False Spirit Oracle sculpture in my garden could replace the original!

Not to mention making her more docile, at the very least, she could be a little more normal, right?

Even if she's still this violent, as long as she listens to me, that's all that matters.

"Hmm," Lu Ran murmured.

His God and Devil Sculpture Park undoubtedly shook the very foundations of the existence of both divine and demonic races.

If possible, he would naturally choose to stand with the humans against the demons.

But everyone understands the concept of 'guilt by association'.

In other words, in the future, some battles are inevitable!

If that's the case, should I prepare in advance and build a team?

This is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight; one should strive to take a long-term view and prepare early.

Xian Xian's talent is truly exceptional; at just eighteen years old, she has already reached the second stage of the River Realm.

Such terrifying talent is not something a follower of a seventh-rank deity should possess.

But if this seventh-rank deity is named Blazing Heaven, then everything makes sense.

This deity is merely 'seated' in the seventh row. If there comes a day when he wants to move up, to sit in the first row,

wouldn't the 'One Immortal, One Saint, and Two Martial Heroes' have no objections? Even if they do, with the deity Blazing Heaven seated in the second row, alongside the 'Four Directions Warriors', there shouldn't be any issues!

Why not start by evaluating Xian Xian? The idea of forming a team is naturally good, but in practice, it will undoubtedly be extremely challenging.

After all, not everyone has the audacity to stand alongside him and turn this world upside down.

To find such a comrade-in-arms, one must rely on luck and be extremely selective!

"Oh, come on, that's enough," Xian Xian said impatiently. "Stop nagging, I got it."

Si Caiqin's expression became complicated as she looked at her daughter beside her.

Lu Ran stood up. "Let's go?"

"Now?" Xian Xian raised her eyes to look at Lu Ran.

"Growth is something that can't be delayed," Lu Ran said, turning to Si Caiqin. "Auntie, I can't keep you here at home."

"I understand, Auntie," Si Caiqin hurriedly replied. "With the Divine Sheep, Male here, I don't want to disturb him. I'll go find a hotel."

Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Xian Xian and I will be in Evil Dog Village until the tenth of next month.

Auntie, why don't you go back first?"

Si Caiqin said, "I'll stay in Rain Alley for two days. If you don't come out and everything goes well, I'll go home first.

On the ninth and tenth, I'll come back to pick up Xian Xian."

Hearing this, Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

How troublesome is this girl?

She's already eighteen years old, and Auntie is still worried about her taking the high-speed train for an hour and a half alone?

Is Auntie afraid that Xian Xian will blow up the train?

Reasonably, at the second stage of the River Realm, she shouldn't be so mentally unstable.

From the moment Xian Xian entered the house until now, her temper may be explosive, but her thinking is clear.

"I'll go get my knife," Lu Ran said, nodding to the two of them.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran came out wearing a black training uniform and carrying two knives.

Xian Xian lifted her eyelids and saw Lu Ran in his familiar outfit. Her gaze froze for a while.

"Auntie will send you there," Si Caiqin stood up, her eyes softening as she looked at Lu Ran.

She must be recalling Lu Ran's heroic figure on the battlefield from a few days ago.

The three of them left the house and drove to the western outskirts of the city.

Along the way, Si Caiqin kept reminding her daughter to listen to Lu Ran and not be too impulsive.

Lu Ran naturally knew that Xian Xian was already eighteen, but if he didn't know that, he might think she was only eight.

"That's enough, Auntie, stop talking," Lu Ran said, sitting in the passenger seat.

He turned to look at the back seat and saw Xian Xian trying hard to hold back, as if she was on the verge of an outburst.

"Hmm," Si Caiqin hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything more.

Xian Xian opened the car window and took a deep breath.

Si Caiqin spoke again, "Little Lu, the Evil Dog Clan is not the same as the Black Lantern Clan. The Evil Dogs have flesh and blood, and it's easier to get lost in the slaughter.

When you're training in the demon cave, make sure to take breaks.

When you encounter other training teams, be polite. Everyone is killing, and tempers can flare.

Just don't get into conflicts."

Lu Ran: ". . ."

How did I become the target of this lecture?

Xian Xian listened to Lu Ran's 'hmm hmm' sounds, and her mood suddenly improved.

As Lu Ran kept nodding and agreeing, his helpless expression finally made Xian Xian burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

The girl's unrestrained laughter was very distinctive.

Si Caiqin looked in the rearview mirror and glared at her daughter.

"We're here, Auntie Si. This is it," Lu Ran hurriedly said.

As the car came to a stop, Lu Ran immediately got out, turned, and leaned on the car window. "Auntie, you can go back now."

Si Caiqin tried to speak several times but ultimately said, "Be careful. After you come out, call Auntie right away!"

"I will!" Lu Ran patted the car window frame and took two steps back.

As he watched the car drive away, Lu Ran breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Heh"

Interestingly, Xian Xian and Lu Ran had the same reaction, almost in sync.

Both of them noticed each other's reaction and looked at each other.

After staring at each other for two seconds, both of them burst out laughing.

They were both released from prison.
