Chapter 346: Lu Bu Bai?

Chapter 346: Lu Bu Bai?

On the 19th day of the lunar calendar, the city's lockdown was lifted.

Once again, Lu Ran bid farewell to Xiao Yuansi, who was reluctant to part with him, and sent her off in the SUV.

As the vehicle gradually drove away, Lu Ran's heart sank.

Over the past three days, his life had been filled with warmth.

Perhaps, Qiao Yuansi had realized that Lu Ran's departure was drawing closer, so she clung to him more than ever.

Lu Ran also tried his best to be a good older brother.

He made every effort to cook delicious meals for her, practiced cultivation together, and watched dramas and variety shows by her side.

But as Qiao Yuansi left, this warm and cozy time also vanished.

Lu Ran felt a sense of emptiness within.

He returned to his empty home, took a moment to calm himself, and then found his phone to check the itinerary on his memo.

"Black Tomb Ridge, Black Soul Wood Forest, Imperial Mausoleum, and the 'Pride Celestial' event."

Lu Ran sat on the sofa, pondering for a moment.

Black Tomb Ridge and Black Soul Wood Forest were the demon caves of the Black Lantern Clan and the Soul Shattering Demon Clan, respectively.

The Imperial Mausoleum was the demon cave of the Demon Gun Emperor.

In Lu Ran's Divine Demon Sculpture Garden, these three demon statues were all from the River Realm.

Two were River Realm Fourth Stage, and one was River Realm Fifth Stage.

Lu Ran planned to work hard and travel to these three locations within the month, cultivating all three demon statues to the River Realm.

For battle preparation, one must have the right attitude!

Although Lu Ran possessed many demon statues and sorceries, the Black Lantern Clan was the only one that could provide him with healing techniques.

Cage Fire Bath!

Lu Ran could summon gentle black flames to heal the injuries of his targets.

This technique had an extremely low usage rate for Lu Ran.

Regarding this, he had a principle in mind: I may not use it, but I must have it!

This was a life-saving technique!

It could save others and himself.

As for the Soul Shattering Demon Clan, there was no need for further explanation.

This clan possessed an augmentation technique – Soul Shattering Power!

It was a necessity for Lu Ran!

The Demon Gun Emperor, as Lu Ran's appointed leader of the slave squad, naturally required careful cultivation.

"Hmm," Lu Ran murmured as he looked at his phone memo.

The 'Pride Celestial' event was scheduled for the first day of the twelfth lunar month and would last for two days.

Moreover, the event was located in the Three Qin Regions, very close to the Demon Gun Emperor's demon cave.

With this arrangement, Lu Ran could first visit the Black Lantern demon cave and the Soul Shattering Demon cave, then attend the 'Pride Celestial' event, and finally head to the Imperial Mausoleum nearby to slay some demons!

Once these three demon statues reached the River Realm,

Lu Ran's subordinates would all be at the River Realm!

At this thought, Lu Ran's heart stirred, and he quickly stood up and headed towards the small bedroom.

"Lord Sheep," Lu Ran said respectfully, performing a proper bow. "I've confirmed that I will be opening the Savage Nuba demon statue and the Silken Shadow demon statue.

Do you have time to accompany me for a walk in the Divine Demon Sculpture Garden?"

Within the little shrine, the jade sculpture of Lord Sheep remained silent.

Lu Ran waited for a moment, then continued, "In less than two months, I will be challenging the Divine Ruins.

I plan to seize the time and add two more generals to my ranks, cultivating them to the River Realm next month."

"Hmm," Lord Sheep replied.

Before Lu Ran could finish speaking, a deep voice resonated in his mind.

"Thank you, Lord Sheep," Lu Ran said, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

The next moment, he entered the spiritual world and returned to the Divine Demon Sculpture Garden.

"Huff~" Lu Ran raised his head and saw a black fire sheep head floating in mid-air, burning fiercely.

Its lifeless horizontal pupils glanced at Lu Ran and then looked upwards.

Lu Ran immediately turned around and saw a pair of stone battle boots.

He recognized the style of these boots.

Lu Ran kept looking up, and up,

and a tall and mighty female general stood there.

Savage Nuba!

This was a gray stone statue, but Lu Ran could vividly imagine her true appearance.

Her hair was in disarray, and her red eyes were filled with madness.

A wild smile played on her lips.

She wore armor and held an axe, exuding a fierce aura.

Her voluptuous body could be described as "arrogant."

Hmm. Truly a bitch!

"Please, Lord Sheep, lend me your assistance!" Lu Ran said solemnly.

"Buzz!!!"

The Savage Nuba demon statue began to tremble.

Mist-like silk threads shot out from the massive demon statue, connecting with Lu Ran's tiny figure.

Mist Realm, Stream Realm, River Realm,

River Realm Second Stage!

Lu Ran sighed inwardly, disappointed that it was only the River Realm Second Stage. Next month was going to be busy.

Then, Lu Ran went to stand before the Silken Shadow demon statue.

Alright,

Another female demon with an "arrogant" figure.

However, this one was more seductive and enchanting.

Her allure was captivating and bewitching!

In Lu Ran's eyes, Silken Shadow was far more alluring than 'Da Changying'!

"My apologies, my apologies," Lu Ran muttered to himself, trying to keep his mind from being swayed by the demoness.

With the help of the black fire sheep head, the Silken Shadow demon statue was activated.

Mist Realm, Stream Realm, River Realm,

River Realm First Stage!

Only the First Stage?

Lu Ran smirked, not daring to look up at the demon statue of Silken Shadow.

But even without looking up, he could see her exquisite stone feet beneath her torn skirt.

She stood on her tiptoes,

and the arch of her foot was so graceful.

It was as if every detail of her seductive body could captivate and ensnare souls.

Damn,

She was pure trouble!

Why couldn't she just stand normally instead of on her tiptoes?

Lu Ran decided to close his eyes.

After a while, Lu Ran opened his eyes in the small bedroom.

He immediately stood up and bowed towards the little shrine, "Thank you, Lord Sheep."

The deity did not respond.

Ever since Lord Sheep mentioned preparing for the Divine Ruins, it had become less talkative.

Lu Ran no longer disturbed the deity and sat down at the small table.

The sorceries of the Savage Nuba clan were extremely powerful and not suitable for practice at home.

On the other hand, the sorceries of the Silken Shadow clan were worth trying out.

The Silken Needles that poured down,

The Silken Net that trapped enemies,

The Silken Threads that controlled all things,

The Silken Chaos that disrupted the enemy's divine power,

The incredibly heavy Silken Robe that could shoot out countless silk threads,

And the terrifying illusion technique that tormented and crushed the enemy's mind—the Silken Eyes.

"Swoosh~"

Lu Ran raised his hand, and his fingers were wrapped in fine red threads.

It is often said:

Rather face Yama than touch Silken Threads!

Today, I'll let you touch them, eh?

Lu Ran's hand stiffened.

Little Fox Flower wasn't home.

Tsk~

What a shame.

Such good fortune, yet Little Fox Flower couldn't enjoy it.

Hmm... Should I pay a visit to the Jiang family?

Lu Ran raised his hand, gazing at the beautiful red thread wrapped around his fingers.

Four words suddenly popped into his mind:

Dongfang Bubai?!

His fingers were slender, and his palm was fair enough to perfectly cosplay the character! Lu Ran, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, usually had rough hands from holding a blade.

But Lu Ran had been blessed by a deity!

Twice!

His entire body, down to the smallest detail, was impeccable.

Speaking of which, even without the blessings, Lu Ran possessed the healing art of Cage Fire (Bath).

This fire not only healed wounds but also nourished the skin.

"Fox Flower, Fox Flower, no more good fortune~"

Lu Ran waved his hand, and the red silk thread on his finger quietly disappeared.

Today, he wouldn't be able to play the role of Dongfang Bubai.

After going to the Black Soul Wood Forest, he would prick the Soul Shattering Demon with needles.

Lu Ran picked up his phone and checked the time.

It was 7:50 AM.

The train to Jin Chuan City, Liao Dong Province, was at 9:10 AM.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to Jiang Ruyi to inform her of his itinerary.

Unexpectedly,

Si Xianxian sent a message:

"Young Miss has just finished her morning exercise and is bathing."

Ran: "."

Immortal Sister: "Young Master, is there anything you need me to convey?"

Ran: "How are you doing at Falling Immortal Mountain?"

As soon as he sent the message, a video call popped up.

Lu Ran answered it and saw Immortal Sister Cai, who was in excellent spirits.

"Young Master~" Immortal Sister Cai's voice was sweet, and her smile was even sweeter.

Lu Ran looked at the background behind her and, knowing she was in the master bedroom, asked, "Are you getting used to living there?"

With just one sentence, Si Xianxian's true self was revealed as she pouted, "It's okay."

Lu Ran: "Do you feel bored?"

Si Xianxian casually tidied her messy hair and hummed, "It's better than being at home; no one nags me here."

Lu Ran smiled, "Has your mind calmed down a bit?"

Si Xianxian stared at Lu Ran's face, and a sense of gratitude welled up within her.

As a believer of Blazing Heaven, she knew better than anyone what she truly needed.

Si Xianxian felt grateful, but she said, "It's just like that."

Lu Ran advised, "You can spend more time with Ruyi, appreciating the flowers and plants on the mountain.

Look at Cangshan Erhai, and watch the sunset glow."

What Lu Ran said was exactly what Jiang Ruyi had been doing with Si Xianxian every day for the past month.

Si Xianxian knew in her heart that this young couple was trying to help her.

Or rather, they were saving her.

Si Xianxian propped her chin with one hand, a rare moment of not being stubborn, and softly said, "Hmm."

After leaving Falling Immortal Mountain, Si Xianxian didn't consider whether she would revert to her original form or how she would deal with it.

After so long, Si Xianxian had gotten used to enjoying the present and not thinking about the future.

Those beautiful lives and happy times never belonged to someone like her.

If she was fortunate enough to have a chance, it would be something she had secretly stolen.

Lu Ran: "Have you been to Falling Immortal Village to play?"

Si Xianxian's smile became even sweeter, "Ruyi and I often go to pay respects to Lord Sheep.

The elders and grandmothers in the village are very warm and kind to me."

For the Savage Nuba, a world filled with tolerance and goodwill was almost too good to be true.

"That's good," Lu Ran nodded, "Try to stay there for a while longer.

If you really want to go out, ask Ruyi to take you to the city."

"Lu Ran."

"What's up?"

Si Xianxian: "I'm not someone who likes to travel around."

Lu Ran: "Huh?"

You say that, and you don't feel guilty?

Have you forgotten how you begged me to take you flying around?

Si Xianxian shrugged, "It's only after coming here that I realized I don't really like traveling."

Lu Ran didn't speak, as if he understood her meaning.

Si Xianxian fell silent for a moment, then said, "Or maybe I still like it, but it's not important.

I know I prefer to stay here."

Lu Ran: "I can't guarantee anything else, but if you wish, you can stay there forever."

Si Xianxian lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you."

"Who are you chatting with?"

Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted.

Si Xianxian's expression changed, and she looked up with a smile, "Young Miss has finished bathing and is changing?

Quick, quick, it's the Young Master's call!"

"Immortal Sister!" Jiang Ruyi was quite helpless.

This was initially a joke between Lu Ran and Si Xianxian, but Si Xianxian had made it a reality.

In daily life, Si Xianxian obeyed Jiang Ruyi's every word, doing her best to "serve" Jiang Ruyi.

This made Jiang Ruyi feel awkward.

She had seriously discussed this matter with Si Xianxian, hoping for a close friendship between them.

But Si Xianxian was more stubborn than Jiang Ruyi had imagined.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't change the Immortal Sheep Sect's reverence for her, nor could she change the believers' notion of hierarchical order.

Similarly, she couldn't change Si Xianxian's attitude.

And all of this was because of one person.

That guy on the phone screen.

"Tsk, so beautiful it's killing me~"

That detestable guy, saying such embarrassing words.

Jiang Ruyi's face turned slightly red, and she lightly glared at Lu Ran, whispering, "I've been trying to suppress it.

Now, when Immortal Sister looks at me, she doesn't space out anymore."

Lu Ran: "Are you sure it's not because she's gotten used to looking at you?"

Jiang Ruyi's expression became cold, and she scrunched her nose at him.

Her cold beauty, combined with a playful expression, had a unique charm.

Lu Ran admired her for a moment before speaking, "This month, I'll be participating in the Pride Celestial event, then going to the Imperial Tomb to spar with the Evil Gun Emperor again."

Jiang Ruyi listened quietly, gazing into his eyes.

Her thoughts wandered far away.
