Chapter 24: Double Happiness

Chapter 24: Double Happiness

"Is that all?" Lu Ran muttered to himself.

A small Bloodplague Dog dares to cause trouble at our Gate 4?

Don't they know we're experts at killing dogs?

All those Evil Dogs they've harmed are watching from above!

Lu Ran took a step forward, intending to return to his team, but at that moment—

"Lu Ran!"

"Behind you, Lu Ran!" Startled voices rose, causing Lu Ran's heart to leap into his throat.

Huff!

Divine Technique: Celestial Hoof!

Lu Ran reacted swiftly, and Divine Mist surged beneath his feet.

But in the next moment, his entire body stiffened.

Although Divine Mist did envelop Lu Ran's feet, he couldn't charge out!

Because a slender arm reached around from behind, pulling him into an embrace.

"Hmm~"

A woman's nasal voice, alluring and teasing, reached his ears.

It was clear she was enjoying herself.

"Gulp," Lu Ran swallowed.

The woman's embrace was chilling, making him feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his hairs standing on end!

That seemingly delicate and fragile arm contained immense strength, holding Lu Ran firmly in her embrace.

Not only that, but the woman's voluminous clothing seemed to have a life of its own!

The crimson fabric wrapped around his wrists, entangling the Radiance Blade as well.

Demon Clan Crimson Paper People!

Without turning around, how did Lu Ran know the Demon behind him was a Crimson Paper Person?

Because he could hear the pleasant sound of jewelry gently touching.

Undoubtedly, this sound came from the exquisite phoenix crown she wore! Lu Ran could also sense that the woman was draped in a crimson wedding dress, and at the very least, the embroidered bird on her crimson sleeves was blindingly red.

"Lu Ran!"

Jiang Ruyi's heart was in her throat, and she felt like this world was incredibly surreal.

The frequent appearance of River Realm Demons was already bizarre enough.

And now, a Crimson Paper Person had appeared?

It was common knowledge that Crimson Paper People were an extremely rare race.

On every full moon night, even if you saw ten thousand Bloodplague Dogs, you might not encounter a single Crimson Paper Person!

Yet, she had appeared right at Gate 4, and even more, she had appeared directly behind Lu Ran, as if in a bizarre nightmare.

"Trainee!"

Zhang Feng also shouted, still entangled by the Shadow Eye, but he had to free a hand to save the trainee.

"Huff! Huff!"

Divine Power surged.

A huge lotus bloomed beneath the feet of the newlyweds.

"Hehe~"

The woman's soft laughter was pleasant to the ear, but in Lu Ran's ears, it sounded terrifying.

He only felt a tremendous force being transmitted, and being held in the woman's embrace, he flew backward.

"Jingle~ Jingle~"

In the slanting wind and fine rain, the jewels on the woman's magnificent phoenix crown gently swayed.

Lu Ran, being held and flying backward, was also brushed by the fluttering crimson wedding dress.

This bizarre yet beautiful scene was like a painting, and its title—

Double Happiness

"Mee~"

Lu Ran called out softly, a hint of despair rising in his heart.

This time, he didn't dare to use the Divine Technique: Terrorizing Sound, but instead, the pure Divine Art of Compassionate Voice.

Crimson Paper Person... er, Crimson Paper Sister, what wind blew you here? It must be the cold wind.

Sorry, it's my fault for forgetting to burn an offering for your ideal husband.

Is it too late for me to burn one now?

"Shh."

Suddenly, the Crimson Paper Person raised a long finger, pressing it against Lu Ran's lips as if to stop his bleating.

Her other hand reached into Lu Ran's black raincoat, gently caressing his burning chest.

Lu Ran's temples throbbed!

The cold fingertips seemed capable of piercing his chest at any moment, crushing his heart.

"Hmm~" The extremely seductive nasal sound echoed again.

The woman's pale and beautiful face was buried deep in Lu Ran's neck, greedily inhaling the robust aura of the body in her embrace.

In fact, she had already begun to "taste" Lu Ran.

If deities feed on the faith of humans,

then the Demon Clan feeds on the panic, fear, and despair of humans.

At this moment, the terror Lu Ran emitted was truly a feast for the Crimson Paper Person.

"Lu Ran!"

"Trainee!!!" Shouts of surprise rose, and a team of Moon Gazers frantically chased after them.

But in the night's rain, the newlyweds continued to fly backward.

The two flew over the gymnasium's iron fence, past the dim streetlights on the road, and into the pitch-black, rainy night.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Sounds of piercing the air came, and several flying swords rushed towards them.

"Hmph."

The Crimson Paper Person coldly snorted, encircling Lu Ran with one hand, restraining his arms, while the other hand reached forward.

The wide crimson sleeves with the embroidered bird suddenly expanded.

Demonic Technique: Crimson Paper Sleeve!

The sharp flying swords, coming with great force, seemed to disappear into the crimson sleeves as if they had entered the sea.

Lu Ran: !!!

At this moment, his heart was filled with despair.

For the majority of the Demon Clan, you could roughly gauge their power level by their size.

The Crimson Paper People were a special case.

The size of this type of Demon was not indicative of their power level, so you needed to judge them based on other aspects.

For example, their Demonic Techniques!

The "Crimson Paper Sleeve" technique was a skill that only River Realm Crimson Paper People could possess.

Today, the West Gate-Gate 4 area of the Gymnasium had truly become a nest for River Realm Demons!

This was not normal!

Extremely abnormal!

Mee-mew.

"The sheep's bleating echoed once more, but it was blocked again.

Trapped within the crimson wedding dress of the Paper Doll, Lu Ran was completely immobilized, unable to even struggle with minimal effort.

He was left with only his mouth.

Divine Art of Compassionate Voice was Lu Ran's only hope.

But this time, the Paper Doll didn't gently silence Lu Ran; instead, the red dress violently stuffed his mouth.

"Eee!"

The Paper Doll emitted a strange shriek, and the fluttering crimson wedding dress in the wind expanded, becoming enormous.

Demonic Technique: Crimson Wedding Dress!

The dress's tail swayed like a crimson tidal wave, surging forward and viciously engulfing the enemies chasing from behind.

"Cut off her escape!"

"Up! Up!" Amidst the towering red waves, several Moon Gazers relentlessly pursued.

They leaped and darted across buildings, with some even flying in the night sky.

As a roar echoed, the ground trembled at the crossroads behind them, and countless white bones suddenly emerged.

In the blink of an eye, a curved wall of densely packed white bones rose from the ground.

With the escape route blocked, the Paper Doll could only flee upwards into the sky.

"Buzz!"

Intense buzzing filled the night sky, and a dense rain of fine sword blades poured down.

"Eek!" The Paper Doll shrieked, her dress's tail still violently flailing as she attempted to destroy the bone wall.

Suddenly, a paper doll appeared in her pale palm? Demonic Technique: Paper Doll!

Witnessing this, several Moon Gazers paled in shock.

The Paper Doll gripped the paper doll, her eyes filled with malice, and fixed her gaze on the Moon Gazer who had summoned the bone wall.

Then, her icy palm slowly clenched.

"Ah!" A Moon Gazer screamed and fell to the ground.

Driven by inertia, his body tumbled and slid forward.

As he rolled, his limbs twisted uncontrollably, as if an invisible giant hand was slowly squeezing his body!

"Boom!"

The red waves shattered the bone wall, and the Paper Doll was thrown backwards.

The rain of swords continued to fall, but it couldn't sever the karmic bond between a man and a woman.

"Hmm."

The Paper Doll sighed in satisfaction.

She tightened her embrace around the human, slightly tilted her head, parted her thin lips, and bit down on Lu Ran's earlobe.

As if rewarding herself?

Lu Ran's eyes widened in shock!

His heart was filled not only with despair but also with a strong sense of humiliation.

That feeling of weakness and helplessness, of being at the mercy of others, once again enveloped his heart.

He had thought that after becoming a follower, things would gradually improve.

He had thought...

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing the two to spin in the air.

"Eek!" The Paper Doll shrieked in anger.

"Ah!" Lu Ran screamed in pain.

The tornado appeared without warning, catching them off guard!

Its force was so strong and sudden that it forcibly separated the newlywed couple!

As they spun, the Paper Doll didn't even have time to cast a spell; she instinctively grabbed Lu Ran.

Her sharp nails pierced his arm, and by the time the storm flung them apart, Lu Ran's arm was already slashed with several long, deep cuts.

The wounds were so deep that the bones were visible!

The sight was chilling, causing one's teeth to ache.

The Paper Doll was thrown out of the tornado, barely managing to stabilize herself.

In her line of sight, Lu Ran was flying downwards towards the roadside greenery.

The Paper Doll immediately flew after him, feeling that she wasn't fast enough, so she shook the bloodstained sleeves of her dress towards Lu Ran.

Demonic Technique: Crimson Paper Sleeve!

The Paper Doll pursued Lu Ran, and behind her in the night sky...

A figure in a yellow raincoat appeared, swiftly slicing through the rain and rushing towards them!

"Hmm?" The Paper Doll seemed to sense something.

She slightly turned her head and looked upwards.

When she saw the furious pursuer, energy surged in her hand, and she once again grasped the paper doll.

The woman in the yellow raincoat's beautiful eyes narrowed!

Her body, which had been thrusting forward like a spear, showed signs of slight distortion?

At that moment, a sheep's bleat suddenly rang out:

"Baa~~~"

Lu Ran flew downwards, and the blood spurting from his arm splattered like a bloody rain.

The excruciating pain made his screams even more heart-wrenching.

Divine Art: Terrorizing Voice!

In an instant, the Paper Doll's attention was drawn away.

She no longer turned back; instead, her eyes gleamed as she fixed her gaze on Lu Ran, her eyes filled with greed and desire.

The Compassionate Voice couldn't calm the boiling situation.

Fortunately,

The Terrorizing Voice could pour oil on the fire!

Encouraging a creature already filled with murderous intent was far simpler than persuading it to put down its butcher's knife!

Lu Ran endured the pain, watching as the Paper Doll rapidly approached, and the Divine Art resonated once more:

"Baa~~~"

Yes, don't turn back!

Listen...

"Whoosh!"

The woman in the yellow raincoat, accompanied by the wind, moved with astonishing speed, flashing past the Paper Doll's side.

The large saber in her hand left long slashes, cutting through the layers of rain and severing the head of a beautiful woman wearing a phoenix crown.

The wind roared in their faces!

Lu Ran tightly shut his eyes, and his short hair danced in the wind.

It was then...

The voice of the wind.
