Chapter 199: Greedy Lu Ran
Chapter 199: Greedy Lu Ran
Jiang Ruyi and Lu Ran first found their homeroom teacher, and then, accompanied by Li Yan Zhu, they went to speak with the school administration to clarify their intentions.
After gaining the school's support, Lu Ran repeatedly expressed his gratitude and left the school with Jiang Ruyi.
On their way home, Lu Ran thought for a moment and took out his phone, dialing Captain Sun Zhengfang's number.
Jiang Ruyi stayed by Lu Ran's side, a faint smile on her face, quietly observing his bustling figure.
"Hello, Uncle Sun?" Lu Ran greeted.
"What's up, Lu Ran of the River Realm?" Sun Zhengfang teased, "Any instructions for me?"
This title was rather intriguing.
Lu Ran chuckled, "Uncle Sun, last autumn, one of my teammates was summoned by a Supreme Deity for further training.
Today, she's back."
"Oh?" Sun Zhengfang searched his mind and recalled such a person.
As the Divine Bureau had been paying close attention to Lu Ran, his teammates also came under the scrutiny of the Moonlit Squad.
"Uncle Sun, I just spoke with the school administration, and they will negotiate with the Divine Bureau," Lu Ran briefly explained the situation, causing Sun Zhengfang to silently nod in agreement.
"Since you've asked, Uncle Sun will definitely help you behind the scenes to make this happen."
Sun Zhengfang, filled with emotion, continued, "By the way, what cultivation realm is this classmate, Jiang Ruyi, at currently?"
Lu Ran: "River Realm, Second Stage."
Sun Zhengfang: "Ah?"
Lu Ran grimaced and quickly moved the phone away from his ear.
Usually, Lu Ran kept the Demonic Art of Evil Perception active, and the sounds buzzing in his ears made his head buzz.
"You've already reached the Second Stage of the River Realm at the start of the second semester of senior year?" Sun Zhengfang was pleasantly surprised.
Lu Ran spoke softly, "Sun of the River Realm, you're the captain of the patrol team, so stay calm."
Sun Zhengfang's head went blank, "Huh?"
Lu Ran quickly explained, "She's a Jade Talisman Follower, and she's very powerful. She can keep up with the pace of our patrol team, so rest assured!
Oh, and I have something to tell you secretly."
Sun Zhengfang impatiently said, "What's there to sneak about? Just speak openly!"
Lu Ran immediately replied, "She has a Divine Armament."
On the other end of the line, there was silence.
Lu Ran finally felt relieved!
Usually, others would snatch his plastic bag and frantically rummage through it.
Today, it was finally Lu Ran's turn to extend his mischievous hand, reach into someone else's plastic bag, and take something for himself!
It turned out that this feeling was so refreshing!
It was no different from rummaging through his own plastic bag!
"Uncle Sun?" Lu Ran waited for a while, then took the phone and glanced at the screen.
The call hadn't been disconnected?
Finally, Sun Zhengfang spoke up, "I heard from Little Deng that you do have a Divine Armament.
The anomaly that occurred in the east of the city on the 15th of the last month was caused by you and the Radiant Light Saber."
"Yes, I do," Lu Ran nodded, "But I'm talking about her, my classmate. She also has one."
Jiang Ruyi, standing by Lu Ran's side, glanced at him.
She wanted him to be more low-key, but his proud and boastful attitude was quite amusing.
Sun Zhengfang's tone turned serious, "In that case, this is excellent!
With two Divine Armaments in our squad, we won't need additional members.
The manpower from the Bureau can be distributed to other squads, increasing our comrades' chances of survival."
Lu Ran also became serious and spoke in a low voice, "Yes, Captain Sun.
Two genuine Divine Armaments!"
As he spoke, Lu Ran looked at the celestial and graceful girl beside him, "A soon-to-be-renowned Heaven's Pride."
"Hehe," Sun Zhengfang, who had just turned serious, now laughed, "You're becoming less and less modest, young man!
I must tell Little Deng about this so she can keep you in check."
"Ah?" Lu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "I wasn't talking about myself just now, but I did leave something out.
Two Heaven's Pride, two!"
Sun Zhengfang: "..."
"Slap."
Jiang Ruyi couldn't hold back and patted Lu Ran's shoulder.
"Uh," Lu Ran whispered, "Okay, then just one."
"Brrring"
The phone line was filled with busy signals.
Lu Ran put down the phone but was surprised to find that before he could put it in his pocket, another call came in.
Oh?
Lu Ran looked at the caller ID and answered, "Sister Xian?"
"Phew," a relieved voice came from the other end of the line.
Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran curiously.
With the Demonic Art of Evil Perception active, Lu Ran could see and hear everything around him.
He turned on the speakerphone and said, "Talk."
A frustrated voice came from the other end, "What are you so busy with? You don't reply to messages, and your phone is always busy."
Lu Ran: "..."
Jiang Ruyi slightly raised her eyebrows, surprised by the impolite tone.
But an even ruder response followed.
Scarlet Xian's voice was sweet, but her tone was unusually irritable, "Speak up! Talk!"
Lu Ran grinned, "I'm listening! Calm down and speak properly."
"Hmph," Scarlet Xian huffed, "Have you entered the Demon Cavern?"
"No, why?"
"Good." Scarlet Xian breathed a sigh of relief, "Last month, I couldn't escape the demon's grasp.
This month, if you don't take me out to play, I'm going to explode!"
Jiang Ruyi became even more curious, especially when she heard the word "take."
Scarlet Xian asked, "Where are you going this month?"
Lu Ran immediately replied, "Evil Dog Village."
"Why Evil Dog Village again?" Scarlet Xian pouted in dissatisfaction, "With such a big world, are you stuck in Rain Alley?"
Lu Ran thought it was a good opportunity to cultivate the Evil Dog Demon Statue to the River Realm!
In the future, he could secretly summon dogs to play with~
Scarlet Xian continued to grumble, "Have you been to Chang'an City?
(End of Chapter)Have you been to Shanghai City?
You've seen the sights of Songshan and Guangfo."
Jiang Ruyi lifted her gaze, looking at Lu Ran with a gentle stare.
Lu Ran felt his scalp tingle!
"No!" Lu Ran interrupted, "This time, we're going beyond the Fifth Wall to the Buffer Zone, or beyond the Sixth Wall to the Screening Area.
The school also mentioned that our first stop as newly initiated followers is Evil Dog Village.
Now, in the second semester of our senior year, the school has also set our first destination as Evil Dog Village.
They want us to remember our initial aspirations and see things through to the end."
"
Lu Ran immediately said, "Jiang Ruyi is back."
Jiang Ruyi's face stiffened.
This... this?
Lu Ran was also startled, "Don't talk nonsense, what are you saying!"
Mainly, we don't have any concubines, right?
"
I'll explain it to her properly; I won't let your little girlfriend misunderstand."
"Not only that," Lu Ran added, "You also need to control your temper and stop getting into conflicts with others."
L
"
Lu Ran hummed, "It's already spring; let's wait until next year."
"
My days are numbered; each day that passes is one less day I have, and I haven't seen the colorful world yet!"
The girl's heartfelt words in her haste revealed her true feelings, which somewhat changed Jiang Ruyi's impression of her.
Lu Ran said, "Then it depends on your performance."
"
Lu Ran was highly skeptical about this.
S
Lu Ran also laughed, "You should be the one to rest assured!
You're only beautiful on the outside; the rest of you is not worth looking at."
Lu Ran said directly, "Book the tickets for tomorrow; I'll pick you up at the station."
"But I want to slap you right now!"
"Book the tickets for tomorrow." Lu Ran repeated softly, no longer in a negotiating tone, "I'll pick you up."
S
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Most Blazing Heaven followers have fiery and untamed temperaments.
It's clear that she also has a strong personality.
But why do I feel like she listens to you so well?"
Lu Ran's face showed a hint of strangeness.
If I were to say that this is the result of my nurturing, would you believe me?
"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi let out a faint nasal sound, with a hint of doubt.
Lu Ran spoke softly, "I thought your focus would be on words like 'Empress Consort' and 'little girlfriend'."
Jiang Ruyi slightly widened her eyes, as if she had just realized there was such a thing?
Lu Ran immediately said, "I'll tell you a story!"
Jiang Ruyi turned and walked away, her sleeves fluttering, "Who wants to hear it."
Lu Ran smiled at Little Ruyi, feeling that she was becoming more human.
Earlier that morning, when she first returned to campus, she had a bit of an otherworldly aura.
It seemed that her life under the divine statue must have been quite austere.
Lu Ran took a step forward and followed her, telling her the story she didn't know:
"This was at the Blacklight Demon Grotto, beside the demon's lair."
Precisely because Lu Ran didn't want any misunderstandings, he had chosen to use the speakerphone earlier.
Adhering to this principle, Lu Ran naturally wanted to tell the story in its entirety.
By the time the two of them reached the entrance of the Rain Alley Residential Area, Lu Ran had already explained the cause and effect.
"Want to come over to my place?" Lu Ran politely invited.
"No, I'm going back," Jiang Ruyi shook her head, not stopping her steps.
Lu Ran looked at her figure, "But I haven't heard your story yet."
Four white jade tablets appeared at Jiang Ruyi's waist, and her figure slowly floated up, "I have no story."
Lu Ran looked up, watching the white-skirted girl gradually floating away, "No story after five months?"
High in the sky, Jiang Ruyi's figure paused.
After a few seconds, the Cool Night Sword she had on her back suddenly flew towards Lu Ran.
"What's this?" Lu Ran looked up at Jiang Ruyi.
"The story you wanted."
"Just this one?" Lu Ran gripped the divine armament and twirled it, creating a sword flower.
The white-skirted girl who had flown away suddenly turned around and looked down at Lu Ran.
Her beautiful eyes held a hint of reproach as she murmured,
"Greedy."
Lu Ran's ears were too sensitive, and he heard the words she softly spoke.
Just as he was a bit surprised, he suddenly felt something.
Holding the hilt of the Cool Night Sword, he once again sensed the spirit's emotions.
It was an emotion he had felt before.
It was a hint of joy.
When Lu Ran came back to his senses and looked up at the sky again, that immortal shadow had already flown far away.
