Chapter 72: Sister?
Chapter 72: Sister?
The next morning, as the sun rose, Lu Ran was deep in thought, escorted by the Moon Gazers, and arrived at his home.
The more he thought about the Divine Statue Garden, the more worried he became.
With enough battles, it was inevitable that comrades would encounter accidents.
Even though the deities and demons differed greatly in their cultivation, they all drew from the faith of humans, and "qi" was a renewable resource, so this amount of energy essence was not a concern.
But if this continued, one day, the statues in his garden would be "activated," right?
Activation wasn't a problem, as all the demon sculptures were contained within his spiritual world.
But what about the future?
The ultimate purpose of the Demon Sculpture Garden was to control and manipulate the demon statues.
If that were to happen, wouldn't two identical deities appear in the world?
At that time, which deity would the believers follow?
If the gods found out about this situation, wouldn't they tear him apart?
The answer was obvious.
In the future, he must survive and bide his time! Before he had the strength to overwhelm the gods, he must never allow the statues in the garden to manifest.
Speaking of which, no matter how things turned out in the future, that day would still be far away.
Moreover, if there came a day when he could truly control the demon sculptures, his strength would likely be able to pierce through the heavens, right?
"Ai," Lu Ran sighed deeply, unlocking the door with his key.
He must hide it well, very well.
The Demon Sculpture Garden was no different from an ultimate weapon, capable of destroying heaven and earth!
It gave Lu Ran the potential to overturn the entire world.
But before it was fully formed, he had to be extremely cautious.
"Click."
Lu Ran, with his mind in disarray, opened the door.
This time, he didn't hear the sound of cat claws scratching at the door.
"Li Hua?" Lu Ran didn't see the cat, and he couldn't help but worry.
He searched the house and finally found Li Hua curled up in the small shrine.
"You sure know how to pick a spot."
Lu Ran reached out to pick up the cat.
"Meow!" Li Hua's cry was sharp, and her fur stood on end.
Lu Ran didn't have any bloodstains on him, but his aura of killing intent matched well with the cool autumn air.
"Alright then."
Lu Ran turned and headed for the bathroom, taking a thorough shower.
Only when he was enveloped in the fragrance of the bath did he return to the shrine.
"Baa~"
Under the effect of the Voice of Compassion, Li Hua poked her fluffy little head out.
Lu Ran felt guilty and reached into the shrine, supporting the white sheep jade carving with one hand and carefully picking up the kitten with the other.
Then, he held up the bewildered Li Hua and bowed to the white sheep jade carving together.
White Sheep Jade Carving: "."
Such a believer was truly one of a kind.
Lu Ran hugged Li Hua and cleaned the house, scooping up the cat litter and picking up various items that had fallen on the ground, listing each of Li Hua's offenses.
Li Hua meowed and tried to escape, but how could she be a match for a two-legged beast?
In the end, she could only accept the criticism grudgingly.
Li Hua was in pain, enduring the scolding.
During this process, Lu Ran shook off his heavy heart, and his mind gradually calmed down.
Until a phone call saved the little cat.
"Hello?" Lu Ran answered the phone, and the little one took the opportunity to escape.
"Brother!" On the other end of the line, a sweet and anxious voice asked, "I heard that Rain Alley City encountered a Demon Night Parade?"
"Yes."
"Are you okay?" Qiao Yuansi asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Didn't we message each other yesterday morning?"
"You! Something this serious, and you didn't tell me!" Qiao Yuansi huffed.
"I didn't want to worry you." Lu Ran walked back to the small room and sat down on the bed.
"Brother, when will you come to see me?"
Lu Ran fell silent, unsure how to respond.
This month's training was crucial for him, as he needed to activate the Soul Shredder Demon's demon sculpture.
Not only did he have to activate it, but he also had to cultivate it to the Stream Realm, third stage and above! Only then could Lu Ran equip four demon spells at once.
After all, the Soulshattering Demon Cavern was in Tianjin, not Evil Dog Village, so Lu Ran couldn't bring his squad there frequently.
Therefore, this training journey had a relatively heavy task!
Qiao Yuansi muttered, "It's too scary, truly terrifying."
"Let's meet up earlier, who knows when you might disappear!"
Lu Ran: ???
You're such a good sister!
Qiao Yuansi suggested, "Where are you guys going for training this month? How about the capital? Or should I bring my squad to find you?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and replied, "We plan to go to Tianmen's Soulshattering Demon Cavern."
Qiao Yuansi whispered, "Why are you stuttering?"
Lu Ran: .
Qiao Yuansi: "Also, that group of big black bulls is really strong. Why are you being so stubborn?"
Lu Ran explained, "The Soulshattering Demon is a common demon on the Fifteenth Night. The earlier we face them, the sooner we can gain experience."
"Okay then!" Qiao Yuansi seemed to have made a big decision, "I'll talk to my teammates and see if we can go together."
"Alright!" This time, Lu Ran responded decisively.
"Wait for my call." As soon as Qiao Yuansi finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Lu Ran chuckled and shook his head.
This phone call from his sister was even more soothing than Li Hua's presence.
He got up and walked to the shrine, sitting cross-legged in front of it.
Just as he was about to start cultivating, Lu Ran suddenly remembered what the Divine Sheep had said the day before.
After such a long time, he hadn't offered any sacrifices to the Divine Sheep?
But there wasn't any fruit at home!
There were plenty of canned food, though.
Logically, sheep should be omnivores, so why not take out some of Li Hua's cat food?
That stuff is even more expensive than human canned food.
Vibrating~ Vibrating~
His phone kept buzzing.
Lu Ran curiously picked up his phone and saw that it was Qiao Yuansi calling.
"Okay, bro! We've set the date for the Eighteenth Day of the Eighth Month, and we'll meet at Tianmen North Station. How's that?"
Lu Ran was surprised. "You've decided so quickly?"
Qiao Yuansi: "I'm the squad leader, my words carry weight!"
Lu Ran was even more surprised. "You? Squad leader?"
"Who do you think you are?" Qiao Yuansi grumbled, "I'm a great leader~
This time, bring your squad and hand over the command to me!
Then, you can just stand aside and shout '6'!"
"Hehe." Lu Ran laughed out loud, "You're really something now, even more boastful than me?"
"My foolish brother, you'll see!" Qiao Yuansi didn't explain further, "By the way, remember to bring me a hamburger."
Lu Ran: "Can't you buy it yourself?"
Qiao Yuansi: "Don't I have to pay for it?"
Lu Ran widened his eyes slightly.
Is this even human speech?
"You're the best, bro!" Qiao Yuansi giggled and hung up again.
"Wow~" Lu Ran scratched his head.
No wonder she's my little sister!
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Lu Ran thought for a moment, then opened the team chat and started tapping on the screen.
Ran: @Everyone, I have a sister who's studying in the capital.
This month, she wants to train with us.
Deng Yutang: "A sister?"
Jiang: "Going to the Soulshattering Demon Cavern together?"
Ran: @Jiang, she's my younger sister, we're blood-related, not the kind with a purple aura.
Tian Tian: "Pfft"
Interestingly, Jiang Ruyi on the phone was quite aloof.
Tian Tian on the phone was more lively in comparison.
Jiang: "What kind of believer is your sister? Is she a squad member?"
Ran: "I don't know."
Jiang: "You're such a good brother."
Ran: "Don't mention it, call me that from now on."
Tian Tian: (゜-゜)
Ran: "My sister is a bit mischievous, and she's keeping it a secret from me along with the rest of the family.
She's quite eccentric, so be mentally prepared. By the way, can we train together?"
Deng Yutang: "No problem, having another squad will make it safer."
Tian Tian: "Okay."
Jiang: "Mhm."
Lu Ran looked at the "Mhm" on his phone and felt like rushing out the door to knock on Jiang Ruyi's anti-theft door right then and there!
This is unbelievable!
Perhaps only a face-to-face meeting could summon the gentle and beautiful Goddess Jiang.
Lu Ran chatted with his teammates for a while longer, and after booking the high-speed rail tickets, he finally put away his phone.
Setting aside his chaotic thoughts, Lu Ran closed his eyes and quickly entered cultivation mode.
