Chapter 206: The Master's Wife?

Chapter 206: The Master's Wife?

"Hmm?" Lu Ran murmured, his eyes fluttering open as he gazed around in a daze.

Was this the inn in Stone City?

Recognizing the familiar room, Lu Ran's heart relaxed, and he slowly sat up.

"Ugh," Lu Ran rubbed his head, trying to recall what had happened.

He had lured the Jiang Jing Evil Dog into the flames, then been pulled into the sandstorm and buried alive?

"Huh?" Lu Ran suddenly realized he was wearing a camouflage T-shirt and shorts, and his body seemed to have been cleaned.

"Click!"

Inside the room, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and a graceful figure walked in.

Lu Ran looked up and saw a fair and captivating face, with a hint of surprise on it.

"You're awake," Jiang Ruyi said, holding a wet towel and quickly approaching.

"Ah," Lu Ran stared at the girl in the white dress, a thought involuntarily popping into his mind.

It was clear that Jiang Ruyi had been staying in the room, taking care of him.

So, this clean set of clothes and the thorough cleansing of his body...

"Are you still feeling dizzy?" Jiang Ruyi looked at the dazed Lu Ran and sighed softly, "Sister Xian'er's attack was too fierce.

My Sandstorm Charm wasn't fast enough. If I had pulled you into the ground sooner, you would have suffered less damage."

"Hmm," Lu Ran's face turned slightly unnatural.

People might not believe it, but Lu Ran blushed for the first time!

Jiang Ruyi sat on the edge of the bed, her expression becoming more concerned, "How do you feel now?

The military doctor said you're fine, just rest well."

"I'm good," Lu Ran nodded immediately and asked, "What time is it now?"

"You've been asleep for a day. It's dinner time now. Are you hungry?"

"I'm okay," Lu Ran took the wet towel from the girl and wiped his face.

"Let's go," Jiang Ruyi suggested, "Call Sister Xian'er, and we'll go get something to eat."

"Okay," Lu Ran got out of bed, but couldn't help but ask, "You were staying in this room?"

Jiang Ruyi: "No, in the evening, Yutang took care of you."

Lu Ran thought to himself, 'Oh no.'

"Then where did these clothes come from?"

Jiang Ruyi, not understanding Lu Ran's concern, replied truthfully, "The soldiers helped change your clothes while checking your wounds."

Lu Ran: "."

Damn!

So, my body was also washed by the soldiers?

Jiang Ruyi noticed a hint of disappointment on Lu Ran's face, and after a moment of thought, she vaguely understood what was going on.

"I'll go call Sister Xian'er," Jiang Ruyi pretended to be annoyed and glared at Lu Ran before heading towards the door.

"Wait for me," Lu Ran hurriedly wiped his face with the towel and followed quickly.

Next door was Scarlet Xian's room, and Jiang Ruyi walked right in, while Lu Ran stopped at the door.

A moment later, Scarlet Xian emerged, leaning on Jiang Ruyi, her steps unsteady.

Lu Ran couldn't help but laugh at the sight, "You're tired?"

Scarlet Xian glared at Lu Ran with feeble annoyance, but this time, she didn't even bother to speak, despite usually being sweet-tongued.

It was clear that the Fiery Heaven Dominator spell had taken a toll on her.

After casting it once, she needed several days to recover.

However, the power of this spell was truly terrifying, especially when it came to boosting the output of the Blazing Heaven Divine Art!

Lu Ran's Night Charm Robe and Water Flow Armor, both He Pin spells, were completely shattered by Scarlet Xian in an instant!

Jiang Ruyi smiled as she watched the girl beside her, "This time, we managed to escape from the jaws of death, thanks to Sister Xian'er."

"Still," Scarlet Xian hugged Jiang Ruyi's arm, her cheek resting on the girl's shoulder, speaking with difficulty, "It's... it's you, Ruyi.

Not like some people, who are... heartless."

Lu Ran muttered, "Now's not the time for talking."

Scarlet Xian raised her eyebrows, "I will... I will speak! I will!"

Jiang Ruyi raised her hand and patted Scarlet Xian's head, "Don't mind him."

Scarlet Xian closed her beautiful eyes, and her cheek rubbed against Jiang Ruyi's shoulder, seemingly enjoying the caress.

The usually dominant Scarlet Xian, who faced the world with a fiery hammer, was now in a rare position of weakness, enjoying the gentleness of others.

Jiang Ruyi, with her keen perception, couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

She almost mistook the girl leaning on her for the sweet and lovely Tian Tian.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruyi spoke up, "By the way, Lu Ran."

"Hmm?"

"Tian Tian has advanced to the River Realm."

"Advanced?" Lu Ran was first surprised, then delighted, "Finally! When did this happen? While I was asleep?"

"Hmm," Jiang Ruyi sighed softly, "It was yesterday.

Tian Tian saw our miserable state and heard about our ordeal, and she immediately entered her advancement mode."

"I see," Lu Ran also sighed, feeling pleasantly surprised.

Had their near-death experience inspired Tian Tian?

As they spoke, the trio arrived at the restaurant on the first floor.

There were many diners inside, but they were all well-disciplined, speaking and eating quietly.

Jiang Ruyi supported Scarlet Xian as they went to sit down, leaving Lu Ran to get the food.

However, before he could finish, three figures burst into the restaurant with excitement.

"Sister Ruyi!"

"Brother Lu!" Several voices completely shattered the peaceful atmosphere of the restaurant.

The staff didn't stop them.

Anyone could feel the genuine joy of these young people.

In fact, such scenes were common in Stone City.

Believers often got separated from their teams, and adventurers often suffered severe injuries.

The Stone City standing in the Demon Cavern was the human race's stronghold and a place of reunion for scattered people, a source of joy and surprise.

The staff, of course, would not deprive them of this joy, and most of them watched this scene with beaming smiles.

"That's too fierce, Brother Lu!" Deng Yutang exclaimed excitedly, striding forward and putting his arm around Lu Ran's shoulder, shaking him vigorously.

"Hey, be careful!" Lu Ran held his tray and quickly said.

"You dare to provoke the Jiang Jing Evil Dog?" Deng Yutang became even more excited.

With those words, the diners in the restaurant, who had been secretly observing, were all stunned.

The staff had heard about what happened to Lu Ran's team, but the other cultivators didn't know! For a moment, people's faces showed various expressions, quite interesting.

What had they just heard?

Jiang Jing Evil Dog?

"It's okay," Lu Ran said, his mouth curling up. "The Jiang Jing Evil Dog is just a bit taller and longer than the He Jing Evil Dog.

That's about it~"

Everyone: ???

Deng Yutang's eyes widened: "Just, just like that?"

"Be gentle, don't spill the food." Lu Ran held a spoon and scooped up another spoonful of white rice.

The tray wasn't even full yet.

Just fill it up and it's done~

"Just like that?!" Deng Yutang was a bit too excited and slapped Lu Ran on the back, "That's the Jiang Jing Evil Dog with the Evil Shadow Flash!"

"Ouch!"

"Huh?"

Throughout the restaurant, there were sounds of people gasping in surprise.

Many people looked at each other in disbelief, feeling it was incredible.

What Lu Ran didn't know was that this expression had also appeared on the faces of the team leader, Zhou Tian, and his teammates.

After the battle, the two soldiers were left on the battlefield, gazing at the post-battle scene, unable to speak for a long time.

The terrifyingly powerful Jiang Jing Evil Dog had once made people feel hopeless, as if their death was imminent.

After that battle, it lay there bleeding profusely, its corpse exposed in the wilderness, never to breathe again.

The blazing Scarlet Xian Xian stood tall like a female war goddess, dispersing flames.

Jiang Ruyi, with a white jade plaque wrapped around her, looked anxious as she jumped into the surging sandstorm alone and carried out the unconscious Lu Ran.

It was hard for others to understand the impact this scene had on Zhou Tian.

Jiang Jing Evil Dog!

And it was the Jiang Jing Evil Dog with the core evil art!

Zhou Tian and his teammate had already prepared for sacrifice.

Even if they risked their lives, the two didn't know if Lu Ran and the others could escape with their lives.

Zhou Tian and his partner never imagined that in this battle, no one would have to sacrifice themselves.

3 He Jing first, second, and third-stage students worked together in an astonishing display.

Lu Ran faced death with fearlessness, using his incredible skills to completely defeat that incredibly powerful evil dog.

What is a Heaven's Pride?

What does it mean to be "Unmatched in Rain Alley"?

In this battle, Lu Ran gave Zhou Tian a perfect answer.

"It was indeed tricky," Lu Ran said, holding his tray, finally speaking sensibly.

The fact that even he called it "tricky" was enough to show how dangerous the Jiang Jing Evil Dog was and the level of pressure it put on Lu Ran.

"Help me take it over there." Lu Ran didn't wait for Deng Yutang to speak and directly handed him the tray.

Deng Yutang clearly had a lot to say, but Lu Ran's impatience made it difficult for him.

At Lu Ran's urging, Deng Yutang had no choice but to act as a waiter, carrying the tray and serving Jiang Ruyi.

This way, Deng Yutang ran back and forth several times before Lu Ran returned to the table.

Lu Ran looked at the well-behaved Tian Tian and smiled, "Congratulations."

Tian Tian showed a sweet smile, but it quickly faded, and she slightly lowered her head, saying softly,

"If I had advanced earlier, I could have helped Master and Sister Jiang Ruyi."

The girl's self-blame was heart-wrenching to see, and it also moved Jiang Ruyi.

After all, not everyone has the courage to face the Jiang Jing Evil Dog.

Jiang Ruyi believed she understood Tian Tian well and didn't think the girl was just saying nice things or lying.

Moreover, from the timing of Tian Tian's advancement, one could also see some clues and infer Tian Tian's true inner thoughts.

"Why Master and Sister Jiang Ruyi?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Tian Tian was puzzled and looked at Lu Ran.

Jiang Ruyi was feeling touched, but Lu Ran interrupted the atmosphere.

"Hehe~" Scarlet Xian Xian laughed, weakly saying, "It should be Master... and Mistress, right?"

Tian Tian opened her mouth slightly, and Jiang Ruyi's pretty face turned slightly red.

The powerful Jiang Ruyi was naturally elegant and calm, and the stronger she was, the more "godlike" she seemed in Tian Tian's eyes.

Precisely because of this, Jiang Ruyi's shy and embarrassed expression at this moment was what made Tian Tian stare in awe!

"Nonsense, that's an old-fashioned term," Jiang Ruyi said softly, pushing Scarlet Xian Xian away in annoyance.

Scarlet Xian Xian was like a puddle of mud, leaning to one side.

"Be careful." Jiang Ruyi immediately pulled Scarlet Xian Xian back, letting her lean against her.

"Heh." Scarlet Xian Xian rested her head on Jiang Ruyi's shoulder, looking at Lu Ran with a carefree smile, and teased, "Why are you smiling foolishly?

Do you really think you've succeeded? Do you see? Anyone can easily manipulate such a soft-hearted girl."

Jiang Ruyi: ???

Lu Ran: "."

In the new month, I ask for the brothers' support with monthly tickets~

Thank you to the boss of Qige Jike for the reward of 15,000! I wish you a long life~ Hurray!
