Chapter 340: Snake Immortal, Lu Ran, and the Love-Struck Mind

Half a month later, in the Spirit Peak Mountains.

A pair of elegantly dressed and graceful individuals, a man and a woman, were strolling through the forest.

The woman wore a phoenix crown on her head and a crimson robe draped over her shoulders, showcasing her unparalleled beauty.

The man, on the other hand, wore a luxurious black and gold robe, his feet stepping on dark clouds as he slowly floated forward.

Evil Spear Emperor's Evil Technique: Malevolent Cloud Robe!

Evil Spear Emperor's Evil Technique: Malevolent Cloud Step Through Mist!

Ever since the 15th of October, Lu Ran had activated the Evil Spear Emperor's Malevolent Sculpture and witnessed it reaching the Fourth Stage of the River Realm.

Lu Ran naturally equipped himself with the corresponding evil techniques.

In addition to the Evil Spear Emperor's Grand Move in the River Realm, the Heaven-Defying Evil Lance, Lu Ran could use whatever skills he desired.

When Lu Ran donned this black and gold imperial robe, even the dignified Crimson Paper Person's eyes lit up with passion.

He resembled a newly crowned young emperor.

His spirit soared, and his demeanor was that of a dragon and phoenix.

Speaking of which, if it were the Lu Ran from the River Realm who put on this "imperial robe," it would have been difficult for him to carry it off.

Comparing Lu Ran to the Evil Spear Emperor would have been like comparing a candle to the sun.

But at this moment, Lu Ran was a Great Ability in the River Realm! Moreover, he was a Great Ability in the River Realm who had received blessings twice! Even if the Evil Spear Emperor himself were to see Lu Ran in this attire, he would likely nod in admiration.

As of today, Lu Ran had activated nine evil sculptures.

The Evil Dog, Soul Shattering Demon, Dark Lantern.

Night Charm, Crimson Paper Person, Ghost General, Sinful Mirror Demon, and Evil Spear Emperor.

And during this training, he had activated the Jade-faced Snake evil sculpture.

Some evil sculptures, during the River Realm, did not have new evil techniques to learn.

While others possessed "Grand Moves" in the River Realm.

Not to mention the Grand Moves, just the techniques from the River Realm and below, each evil sculpture could provide Lu Ran with six evil techniques.

6 x 9,

That's a whopping 54 evil techniques!

On top of that, Lu Ran possessed the Immortal Sheep Sect's divine techniques.

At this moment, Lu Ran had over sixty skills!

What did this mean? Lu Ran had once vowed in his heart that one day, he would acquire thousands of evil techniques!

Hmph,

Not thousands, but just these sixty-plus skills were already overwhelming for Lu Ran.

Of course, his mindset needed to change.

So what if he had many skills? Lu Ran didn't need to master them all.

Having numerous skills was a significant advantage!

He had more options and could pick and choose, selecting only the best!

Lu Ran only needed to thoroughly understand the most useful skills, and that would suffice.

As for the rest, he could toss them into his skill library to gather dust; it wasn't like they were useless.

Skills were like money.

Who wouldn't want more of them? In case of emergencies, even the skills gathering dust could be valuable! Thinking about it made one feel sad.

Other followers struggled their entire lives and could only learn six or seven skills.

On Lu Ran's side, there were dozens of skills gathering dust in his library,

and it felt so comfortable.

"Found it." Lu Ran suddenly spoke, halting his forward motion.

The Crimson Paper Person also stopped and looked at the ancient bronze mirror floating beside Lu Ran.

It must be said that the name of this mirror was incredibly fitting!

Evil Technique: Bonding Mirror!

It was like a matchmaker, frantically setting up connections for Lu Ran.

Within a radius of five hundred meters, no girl could escape its reach.

"This one seems a little different?" Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the woman in the mirror.

The Crimson Paper Person flew slightly forward, sticking close to Lu Ran's back, her chin resting on his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head to look, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

But the Crimson Paper Person showed no unusual signs, her gaze passing over his shoulder as she stared at the image in the Bonding Mirror.

Lu Ran suddenly spoke, "I know you're pretending."

The Crimson Paper Person showed no reaction, still gazing at the Jade-faced Snake in the mirror.

Lu Ran smiled, "After so many days, your eyes can't lie.

I've seen your face in the mirror before, and you didn't control your expression well."

The Crimson Paper Person's body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes shifting to look at Lu Ran, who was right in front of her.

The eyes of a person in love could not be hidden.

Of course, if one loved several people, perhaps they could conceal it.

"Hmm~" The Crimson Paper Person finally couldn't hold back, emitting a soft nasal sound.

She stretched out her hands as if to embrace Lu Ran from behind.

After more than half a month, the intelligent Crimson Paper Person could already understand some words.

At the very least, she could grasp the general meaning through Lu Ran's expressions, tone, and other aspects.

"Huff~"

The black and gold imperial robe gently swayed, pushing the Crimson Paper Person back several meters.

Lu Ran turned to look at her, and in her expression as she dropped the pretense, he saw a hint of resentment.

Lu Ran spoke sternly, "Suppress your racial traits.

I am your creator and your master, not your ideal lover."

Each evil demon had its unique traits.

For example, the Ghost General clan was born with leadership qualities, brave and fierce, and extremely loyal.

Similarly, the Night Charm clan consisted of dedicated warriors, calm and fearless in the face of death, and equally loyal.

Previously, when Lu Ran went to the Demon Den for training, he always summoned Ghost Generals and Night Charms.

The problem arose here!

The traits of Ghost Generals and Night Charms were very similar.

This gave Lu Ran a false impression.

He thought that every evil minion he created was like that.

How wrong he was!

Each evil demon had its own racial traits, and this fundamental nature could not be erased.

When creating evil minions, Lu Ran could instill concepts like master-servant hierarchy and obedience.

The Crimson Paper Person's desire for her ideal consort was insatiable.

Her very nature compelled her to seek a worthy partner.

In this regard, Lu Ran was not the protagonist.

The world was vast,

And there were countless talented men. The Crimson Paper Person didn't have to settle for Lu Ran.

But back then, on the altar of worship, the Crimson Paper Demon Lord had taken a liking to Lu Ran.

This led to the entire Crimson Paper clan, who had invaded the mortal realm, setting their sights on Lu Ran.

And after Lu Ran created the Crimson Paper Person, he took her along on his private missions.

So this Crimson Paper Person had no choice.

Speaking of which, Lu Ran would never belittle himself.

He was the First Pride of Great Xia!

Who could compare to him? Lu Ran was confident that even if he threw himself into the vast sea of humanity, the Crimson Paper Person would still choose him in the end.

"Stand still," Lu Ran said, sighing inwardly.

I am your master!

I created you as a servant, a powerful force under my command!

I'm not creating a girlfriend!

"Mhm," the Crimson Paper Person lowered her lashes.

She folded her hands, placing them on her lower abdomen, and regained her dignified and elegant demeanor.

When Lu Ran created the Crimson Paper Person, he imprinted upon her the concept of absolute obedience.

The demon servant could not defy Lu Ran's orders.

"Snap." Lu Ran picked up the Bonding Mirror and looked at the Jade-faced Snake within.

He examined it carefully for a long time before speaking, "This graceful bearing in every movement is superior to ordinary Jade-faced Snakes. It might be an elite monster."

The Crimson Paper Person remained silent, standing motionless.

Lu Ran closed his eyes slightly, probing the Divine Demon Sculpture Garden in his mind.

After half a month of tempering, the Jade Serpent Malefic Formation had reached the River Realm's Fifth Stage!

If they killed this elite monster, perhaps the Jade Serpent statue could be promoted to the River Basin Realm?

Lu Ran licked his lips in excitement and summoned an ancient bronze mirror, "Get ready, it's time for our old tactic!"

But the Crimson Paper Person was staring at Lu Ran's lips, her gaze intense.

Lu Ran: ".”

Damn!

From now on, he should just summon Ghost Generals and Night Charms.

He was focusing on his career, but a love-struck team member had snuck into the group.

This wouldn't do!

"Huff!"

The ancient bronze mirror in Lu Ran's hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a standing mirror.

The Jade-faced Snake in the mirror looked displeased, turning to the sudden appearance of the mirror.

But in the mirror, a noble and imposing young man stepped out.

The Black Gold Imperial Robe rustled, and his eyes were cold and piercing.

"Hiss."

The Jade-faced Snake was slightly surprised but showed no panic.

She hummed softly, holding a jade Ruyi in her hand.

"Whoosh!"

A large red figure flew out of the standing mirror.

A cruel glint flashed in the Crimson Paper Person's eyes. From the wide sleeves of her embroidered dragon and phoenix robe, she grabbed a tiny paper doll.

The Jade-faced Snake sensed something and suddenly, a dozen snake tails appeared beneath her waist.

The long, white-scaled tails spread out in all directions.

Lu Ran's breath caught in his throat!

He recognized it immediately; it was the Evil Spell: Immortal Tail!

The issue was, there were 16 Immortal Tails!

What?

The River Grade Immortal Tail had only eight tails.

These dozen Immortal Tails revealed to Lu Ran a startling fact:

This was a River Basin Realm Demon Lord!

In the past, when Lu Ran and the Crimson Paper Person fought enemies, the Jade-faced Snake would prioritize using the Purification Spell: Immortal Realm.

Through purification, the Jade-faced Snake could eliminate abnormal states and fundamentally sever the spiritual connection and physical control the paper doll had over her.

Lu Ran would take advantage of the moment when the Jade-faced Snake's attention was drawn to the paper doll and her casting of the spell, teleporting to instantly kill her.

But this time, the Jade-faced Snake chose to use the Immortal Tail!

On one hand, the River Basin Realm Demon Lord's strength was exceptional, and her mental fortitude was extremely high, allowing her to withstand lower-grade paper dolls for a short time.

On the other hand,

The spread of 16 long, thick Immortal Tails established absolute control over the surrounding area! Offense and defense combined, she was an army of one.

"Retreat!" Lu Ran shouted, keeping a close eye on the swaying snake tails beside the Jade-faced Snake.

Her defensive awareness was incredible! Even more terrifying, the Jade-faced Snake's original tail rapidly coiled around her upper body.

This meant that from the very start of the battle, she had achieved absolute defense.

Because with her original tail, she could cast another evil spell—Immortal Scales!

The effect of Immortal Scales could be summed up in two words—Golden Body!

As the arch-nemesis of the First Rank Deity · Warrior Monk, the Jade-faced Snake's skill set was formidable.

"

Lu Ran stepped onto a black cloud and also retreated.

Several long, thick snake tails lashed out!

"Snap! Snap!"

"Crack."

The ground shattered, dust and debris flew, and giant trees snapped.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed!

Through the gaps in the white-scaled snake tail that coiled around her, Lu Ran and the Jade-faced Snake locked eyes.

Her gaze was cold and indifferent.

There was no mockery, no disdain.

She simply looked down at Lu Ran with an air of superiority, as if gazing at a tiny, lowly ant.

"Heh."

Lu Ran suddenly laughed, a hint of anger in his voice.

Jade-faced Snake,

You're going to hurt people.

Wait until I summon you, and I'll learn that look from you!
