Chapter 114: Imprisoning Demons with a Palm

Chapter 114: Imprisoning Demons with a Palm

Xian Xian's beautiful eyes swept over the group, "Speak, which one?"

Lu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed her wrist, "What are you doing?"

"Hmm?" Xian Xian's expression was a bit odd, and she looked down at her wrist.

The two had been traveling together for a long time, fighting side by side day and night. However, this was the first time Lu Ran had "touched" her.

Lu Ran had always been very disciplined.

She had once reached out, waving her hand in front of his face covered by the red handkerchief, but Lu Ran had brushed her hand away with the hilt of his knife.

This action was a microcosm of their relationship.

At this moment, Xian Xian's lips curled slightly, and she giggled, "Why are you so tense around me?"

Having just taken a bath, her skin was fair and slightly flushed, her long hair slightly damp, and with her charming smile, she exuded an indescribable allure.

However, Lu Ran was not one to understand such subtleties, "You're like a ticking time bomb, who can handle that?"

Xian Xian furrowed her brows, "Watch your language."

Lu Ran was shocked!

How could such words come out of her mouth?

Lu Ran huffed, "You swear more than I do, don't you?"

Xian Xian hummed and said matter-of-factly, "I'm an adult."

Lu Ran: ???

What does being an adult have to do with it? I've never heard that being an adult allows you to get a driver's license, a marriage license, or a 'swearing license'!

"Go get some food."

Lu Ran grabbed her wrist and pushed her towards the buffet table without any courtesy.

Xian Xian pouted, her slippers making a 'pata-pata' sound as she walked, indicating that they were wet.

It was unclear if she was intentionally expressing her dissatisfaction.

The dinner provided by the Stone Inn included seven dishes, four meat and four vegetarian, which was quite decent.

Lu Ran, adhering to the idea of gaining weight, piled his plate high and headed to a corner of the dining hall with Xian Xian.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xian Xian asked again as soon as she sat down.

Lu Ran buried his head in his food, speaking indistinctly, "Eat more, talk less."

"Oh come on, just tell me!" Xian Xian was dying of curiosity.

In her eyes, Lu Ran possessed a maturity beyond his years.

Even as a Blazing Heaven Follower, he could endure with great patience.

Moreover, Lu Ran possessed a formidable spell that could sway the will of others.

Therefore, Xian Xian truly couldn't understand how such a well-rounded person could have a mortal enemy.

"What else could a high school student have to deal with?" Xian Xian speculated on her own when Lu Ran remained silent, "Is it because of a girl?"

Lu Ran continued to eat without responding.

Xian Xian observed Lu Ran's expression, "Or is it because you're easy to bully, and they're bullying you?"

As she spoke, Xian Xian's expression also turned somber.

When she first visited Lu Ran's home, he had mentioned that his father had 'left'.

Xian Xian never believed in the idea that humans are inherently good.

Especially the malicious intentions of the young, which were completely unreasonable.

Lu Ran suddenly lifted his head, "How do you think you've been behaving these past few days?"

"Hmm?" Xian Xian's attention was indeed diverted, and she self-evaluated, "Not bad, I guess?"

"I think so too," Lu Ran agreed, "From now on, we can team up more often."

A smile appeared on Xian Xian's face, and she leaned back, "Ah~ Finally, I can get away from her."

Lu Ran suddenly said, "If you don't behave, I'll return you anytime."

Xian Xian's smile froze, and she leaned forward, "Say that again?"

Lu Ran's expression remained unchanged, "Have you heard of a seven-day no-reason return policy?"

Xian Xian's eyes widened slightly.

Lu Ran smiled, "You're the type that can be returned 'for life, no questions asked'."

Xian Xian propped her elbow on the table, and her face suddenly moved closer to Lu Ran's, squeezing out two words through gritted teeth,

"You dare!"

Lu Ran: '.'

Such a pretty face was wasted on this master.

Following such a master, even the most beautiful face would often contort in ugliness.

"Eat, eat." Lu Ran's words abruptly stopped, and his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Xian Xian watched as Lu Ran's expression turned serious.

She seemed to realize something and immediately turned her head to look at a table not far away.

What those students were discussing privately, Xian Xian couldn't hear.

But she knew that Lu Ran could definitely hear them.

And at this moment, Lu Ran indeed agreed with what Kou Yingquan had just muttered under his breath - so damn unlucky.

Yes, encountering you again, I also feel unlucky!

"Damn, still picking a fight?" Xian Xian's sweet voice turned sharp, and she stood up.

"Screech—"

Her chair suddenly slid back, and the legs of the chair scraped against the ground, making a harsh sound.

"Xian Xian!" Lu Ran was startled and quickly reached out to grab her.

This was Stone City!

If a conflict broke out here, the lightest punishment would be a deduction of believer points and expulsion from the city.

In severe cases, the Demon Cave would put them on a blacklist, banning them for life!

"Damn, I'll teach you a lesson!" Xian Xian's sweet voice remained unchanged.

She grabbed Lu Ran's palm and pushed him away with great force.

With such strength, Lu Ran, along with his chair, was flipped over.

Lu Ran: "Huh? No... Huh?"

Kou Yingquan's face paled, and he quickly stood up and retreated.

Xian Xian, filled with anger, took long strides and immediately locked onto her target! Because only the one whose personal interests were harmed or about to be harmed would have the most intense reaction.

In just a few short steps, Xian Xian's eyes were fixed on only one person—Kou Yingquan, who had jumped up first and seemed the most guilty! His tall and robust figure fit the description, so it must be him!

Kou Yingquan quickly put on a Bloodrage Armor, "What are you doing? Don't come over!"

"Heh." Xian Xian let out a cold laugh, and her steps quickened.

She wasn't amused by his laughter; instead, in her anger, she revealed a fierce smile.

The Blazing Heaven Follower was indeed a perfect match!

The female worker in the dining hall shouted, "Stop, stop immediately! I'll deduct your believer points!"

For how many years had it been since anyone dared to cause a conflict in Stone City?

Does this person not know the severity of the consequences?

The hard-earned points you've accumulated, a deduction of a hundred or eighty, and you're restricted in everything you do. How can you possibly stand in society?

"Believer points?" Xi Xianxian cursed, "I'm a Blazing Heaven Follower, and you're talking to me about points?"

Female Soldier: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Oh, you're a Blazing Heaven Follower. Then it's fine.

Everyone knows the bad temperament of Blazing Heaven Followers.

For followers like them to have a non-negative point balance in society is already a miracle!

Er, no, that's not right. That doesn't mean it's fine!

You can't get into a fistfight!

"A Blazing Heaven Follower?" Kou Yingquan's heart was filled with panic.

Damn it!

Blazing Heaven?!

This beautiful girl, as stunning as Jiang Ruyi, is a Blazing Heaven Follower?!

I knew it, the way she scrutinized everyone earlier, her gaze was so arrogant.

"Huff," Kou Yingquan felt a great threat and, without further ado, rapidly retreated while raising his hand.

Streamline Divine Technique·Demon Shackling Chain!

A blood-colored chain appeared, blocking Xi Xianxian's path.

"Crack!"

Xi Xianxian slapped the Demon Shackling Chain, shattering it.

"River River Realm," Kou Yingquan trembled, quickly throwing out his robe again.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound echoed once more.

Xi Xianxian slapped again, even shattering the Bloodrage Armor, renowned for its defense!

Can River Realm followers tear apart Streamline Divine Techniques with their bare hands?

Most likely, yes.

But for a Blazing Heaven Follower, the answer is: absolutely!

Because when Blazing Heaven Followers reach the Third Stage of the Stream Realm, the compatible spell they receive is called Blazing Heaven Power!

This spell enhances the follower's strength attribute.

The Blazing Heaven sect's spell system is extremely specialized, focusing solely on offense or enhancing offensive capabilities!

To put it bluntly, the Blazing Heaven sect is born for slaughter.

"Huff!"

Xi Xianxian lunged forward and, in the blink of an eye, grabbed Kou Yingquan by the neck, her anger surging.

The so-called "powder keg" is not just an empty phrase.

Or perhaps, over the past week, she had been too strictly controlled by Lu Ran, and now she was at her wit's end.

The tall Kou Yingquan was lifted, terrified, as he looked at Xi Xianxian's fiery eyes.

"You," he barely uttered a word before Xi Xianxian's fair palm slapped his face.

"Slap!"

The sound was crisp.

A bright red palm print instantly appeared on Kou Yingquan's cheek.

"Ah!" Kou Yingquan screamed in agony, his head tilting as he spat out blood, and several teeth flew out.

Xi Xianxian demanded, "What did you just say?"

Kou Yingquan's face was burning with pain, as if his jaw was about to be shattered.

Xi Xianxian did hold back, but for a Blazing Heaven Follower, you can't make such kind assumptions.

The more likely scenario is that the Blazing Heaven Follower didn't want to end it with one strike but wanted to vent some more.

Kou Yingquan was dazed from the slap, "Me!"

He screamed again as Xi Xianxian raised her fair, jade-like hand and slapped him once more.

"Slap!"

Both sides of his cheeks were now marked with bright red palm prints, making them somewhat symmetrical?

Xi Xianxian: "Do I need to answer you?"

Clearly, she didn't care what Kou Yingquan said.

Asking you a question is just a one-sided way of telling you why I'm hitting you!

As for what you said, I'm not interested in listening. You can keep it to yourself!

"Stop!"

"Don't hit anymore! Don't hit anymore!"

"Blazing Heaven Follower! Calm down! Calm down immediately!"

"Slap!" Xi Xianxian ignored everything and slapped him hard again.

"Pfft," Kou Yingquan's consciousness blurred, his mouth filled with blood, and he was no longer able to speak.

"Huff!"

A gust of wind blew, and it was the Bloodrage Armor again?

But this time, Xi Xianxian couldn't shatter the armor; instead, she was flipped over by the Bloodrage Armor.

The air surged, and the tables and chairs in the restaurant flew into disarray.

A soldier barged into the restaurant and shouted, "Do you know where you are?"

As he questioned, the male soldier looked to the side.

There, Kou Yingquan, forced apart by the robe, was lying on the ground, motionless, seemingly having fainted.

His mouth was filled with blood, and he looked miserable!

The male soldier was both shocked and furious, "Do you know what you're doing?!"

"I..." Xi Xianxian slapped her palm on the ground and quickly stood up, glaring ahead.

"Alright." A familiar voice came from the side.

However, she didn't even hear the most familiar voice.

This Blazing Heaven Follower had clearly lost control!

"Slap," Lu Ran grabbed Xi Xianxian's wrist.

"Hmm?" Xi Xianxian turned her head, as if seeing something unbelievable.

She tried to break free but was astonished to find that she wasn't as strong as Lu Ran?

How is this possible?

Xi Xianxian was completely dumbfounded.

I'm at the Second Stage of the River Realm, right? I'm at the River Realm, aren't I?

Just now, I tossed him around like a toy, but now, how is he controlling me?

"Alright," Lu Ran said softly.

His palm that held Xi Xianxian's wrist was slightly trembling.

This River Realm Blazing Heaven girl is truly fierce!

Even with her Evil Art of Soul Shattering Power activated, he could barely hold her back.

If she were to activate the Blazing Heaven Power spell, Lu Ran would be sent flying!

"Xianxian," Lu Ran's eyes were serious, and he spoke gently, "Calm down."

Xi Xianxian stared at Lu Ran, stunned.

Initially filled with anger, she now felt more surprise and confusion.

Others were unaware of this, and to help this powder keg calm down, the restaurant fell into complete silence!

"If you don't calm down, I'll return you to Auntie," Lu Ran said softly.

Xi Xianxian finally snapped out of it.

No, I need to ask about this!

She temporarily suppressed her doubts, her face struggling for a moment, but eventually, she loosened her grip.

Xi Xianxian turned her head and looked at the pitiful Kou Yingquan, humming coldly:

"Hmm!"

The third watch ends, seeking some comments.
