Chapter 208 Wishful thinking
At noon, Yuxiang Home Community.

Lu Ran carried a heavy backpack and came to his small bedroom.

"Boom~"

The backpack fell to the ground, and there was a sound of magic crystals colliding with each other.

Lu Ran stood in front of the shrine, clasped his hands together and said, "Master Xianyang, your disciple is back.

This time in the Evil Dog Village, the evil dog sculptures in the sculpture garden have been cultivated to the fifth stage of the river realm. "

Inside the shrine, the jade sculpture of Aries was quiet and showed no reaction at all.

Lu Ran added: "Disciple feels that he will be promoted soon."

He reported his own situation, and after he finished speaking, Lord Immortal Sheep still did not show up.

Lu Ran waited for a moment, then bowed and turned to go straight to the bathroom.

When Lu Ran returned to the small bedroom refreshed after taking a shower, he saw a rather interesting scene.

Little Lihua was digging into his schoolbag and peeking inside.

This little thing has a very high IQ and can even open the zipper by itself?

"Meow~"

Sensing someone coming, the little tabby cat raised its furry little head and looked at Lu Ran curiously.

"Come." Lu Ran squatted down and waved to Xiao Lihua.

The little tabby turned around and ran towards the door.

"Mea~"

"Meow?" The tabby cat stopped moving and turned to look at Lu Ran.

"You really have no memory." Lu Ran looked at the little raccoon who ran over quickly after he forced his will to change.

little things,
What's the use of resisting?
"Just obey me, hehe~"

Lu Ran stretched out a pair of magic claws and hugged the little raccoon tightly in his arms.

He didn't even bother to pet the cat, he just enjoyed it.

Under the control of the divine law, Voice of Compassion, the little raccoon put all its attention on Lu Ran and kept rubbing against its master.

Lu Ran quickly walked to the shrine and sat down.

He unzipped the backpack, grabbed the bottom of the backpack with one hand, lifted it up, and shook it up and down.

"Wow~"

Piles of magic crystals were poured out and scattered all over the ground.

Lu Ran looked around, feeling the surges of energy.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in advancing or not, these magic crystals must be absorbed before the fifteenth day.

Otherwise, Lu Ran’s family will be targeted by the evil demon clan.

Although with Lord Immortal Sheep in charge, the villains might not dare to be too presumptuous, but Lu Ran had no need to cause trouble for his own god.

"Be good." Lu Ran sat cross-legged in meditation, holding the little raccoon in his arms and stroking him gently, "Accompany the master to advance together."

"Meow~"

Lu Ran suddenly thought of something and looked up at the shrine: "Oh, Master Xianyang, during this training, I encountered a Jiangjing vicious dog.

That thing is really powerful! Thank you, Master Xianyang, for teaching me how to activate the evil dog.

This clan's evil magic combination is absolutely amazing!"

As Lu Ran spoke, his heart was filled with emotion.

Even a vicious dog with low IQ can become this strong after learning the method of teleportation.
Then when I advance to the third stage of the River Realm and equip myself with the Evil Magic Shadow Flash, won’t I be able to soar to the sky?
"Once you have mastered this method, you will be qualified to venture into some places."

The voice came suddenly, and Lord Xianyang's voice was as low and hoarse as ever.

"Oh?" Lu Ran's mind moved, "Where are we going?"

Lu Ran's face was full of anticipation, but he didn't get a response.

"You mean the depths of the demon cave?"

"Oh, right. I've seen the North Wind Ruins before. A North Wind disciple broke in and then disappeared. I don't know where he was teleported to."

"Master Xianyang, are you speaking?"

"Where on earth can I go?"

Lu Ran was numb!
What a fairy sheep! It can be killed but not buried!
He left after saying a few words, leaving only the extremely curious Lu Ran scratching his head in front of the shrine.

"Master Fairy Sheep!" Lu Ran was completely helpless.

If I had your ability to seduce people, wouldn't little Ruyi be so happy that her mouth would be raised to the sky?

Lu Ran sighed, tried to calm himself down, and gradually entered a state of cultivation.

I think that when Lord Xianyang said this, he also wanted to add fuel to the fire, so that his disciples could practice harder and advance.

It was not until noon two days later that Lu Ran was disturbed by a phone call.

Lu Ran thought it was a call from the Divine People's Bureau, so he quickly went to the bedside and picked up the phone.

It can be seen that after the caller ID was displayed, Lu Ran was a little surprised and answered the call: "Chang Ying?"

"Burning treasure!!"

Chang Ying's voice was unusually excited.

Lu Ran immediately unplugged the phone and moved away from the receiver.

Chang Ying yelled, "I advanced! Haha! I advanced!"

Lu Ran was infected by this deep joy and said with a smile: "Congratulations?"

Chang Ying spoke very quickly: "I listened to you. Since I came home, I have been kneeling in front of the fortune teller to pray."

Lu Ran nodded secretly.

Mr. Lingqian, what a good trick!
After planting this seed in Chang Ying's heart, she will naturally pray to God more vigorously in the future.

Of course, all this is just Lu Ran’s guess.

It could also be a coincidence. It was at this point in time that Chang Ying felt something and then had a flash of inspiration.

"How are you?" After reporting the good news, Chang Ying did not forget to care about Lu Ran.

"I..." Lu Ran paused and uttered a few words, "It's almost there."

"Eh?" Chang Ying put down her phone and looked at the screen. "I was calling Ran Bao, why was it Deng Yutang who answered the phone?"

Lu Ran hung up the phone angrily.

"Dudu.du."

Lu Ran put down his phone and looked at the large number of magic crystals scattered on the floor of the small bedroom.

Up to this moment, he has not absorbed the magic crystal.

During the past two days, Lu Ran has been making preparations.

It doesn't mean practicing day and night, but eating and sleeping normally to get enough rest.

At this point, Lu Ran thought that he had adjusted his body and mind to the best state. He could absorb the magic crystal and break through the bottleneck in one go!
"Dong Dong Dong~"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which surprised Lu Ran.

He walked quickly out of the small bedroom and went to open the door.

"Click."

As the security door opened, a tall and graceful figure came into view.

"Wow!" Lu Ran sighed softly, as if he had traveled back to last autumn.

The person who came was Jiang Ruyi.

She was wearing the light-colored long windbreaker she had worn on the day of their departure, with her long black hair falling over her shoulders.

Still as pure, beautiful and charming as ever.

The difference was that she no longer wore the dark red knitted scarf around her neck.

Compared to last year, Jiang Ruyi is taller, and her style and temperament are even better than before.

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi looked at the stupid Lu Ran with a smile on her face, "Are you planning to let me stand here forever?"

Lu Ran did not let the visitor in, but asked, "What do you mean, you want to leave again?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyi was startled.

Lu Ran was heartless and said directly: "We have a deal. If you come to say goodbye to me...
Then don’t enter this house.”

"Really?" Jiang Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and began to playfully askew, "Then I'll leave?"

Lu Ran was shocked: "Are you really going to leave?"

Jiang Ruyi's beautiful eyes were filled with mischief: "You really won't let me in?"

"Come in, come in." Lu Ran looked uncomfortable and took a few steps back.

Jiang Ruyi walked in, and Lu Ran realized that she was holding a shopping bag full of things.

Lu Ran took it immediately and saw that it was filled with meat, vegetables and other ingredients.

"What is this?" Lu Ran was a little curious.

Jiang Ruyi stood there, looking at the slippers on the shoe rack, motionless.

Lu Ran: “.”

Women really do have a thousand faces.

When she is with her teammates, she is a calm and steady commander, not like this "lively" or even a little naughty.

Lu Ran leaned over to get the slippers and threw them at her feet: "Are you here to cook for me?"

Sure enough, Jiang Ruyi was waiting for Lu Ran to get her shoes.

She took off her leather boots, put on slippers, and whispered, "I'm not leaving."

"Heh." Lu Ran snorted, "Looking at what you're wearing, I'm a little scared.

Dreaming of autumn is the same. "

Jiang Ruyi listened to Lu Ran's mumbling and could sense that he was a little nervous.

The girl couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.

Lu Ran saw the most perfect interpretation of the four words "smiles like flowers".

Well. The main reason is that Jiang Ruyi has a faint scent of jasmine on her body, which inevitably makes Lu Ran think of that word.

"Meow?" A cat's meow was heard from behind Lu Ran.

Jiang Ruyi tilted her head slightly: "Long time no see, little Lihua."

Her long hair cascaded down, which made Lu Ran's heart beat fast.

Little Lihua was not tempted because the automatic feeding machine suddenly rang!
It meowed and, completely as a conditioned reflex, rushed straight to a corner of the living room.

Jiang Ruyi walked past Lu Ran and said, "You said this morning that you were almost ready and were planning to start the breakthrough tonight?"

"It's earlier than expected. I'm ready." Lu Ran followed with a bag of ingredients.

"Fortunately, I came early." Jiang Ruyi said softly, and came to the door of the small bedroom, and saw magic crystals scattered all over the floor.

She frowned slightly: "The Lord God is here, and you don't even know how to clean up."

Lu Ran leaned against the door frame: "What do you know? This is called atmosphere."

Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but shook her head and smiled.

After all, this was a matter between Lu Ran and his god. Since Lord Xianyang didn't argue, she couldn't say anything more.

The girl had no intention of destroying this so-called "atmosphere".

She stood on tiptoe, looking for an open space to step on the ground covered with magic crystals, and walked step by step to the shrine.

Such a scene made Lu Ran laugh.

This silly girl, did she take it seriously?
"Jiang Ruyi, I pay my respects to Master Xianyang." Jiang Ruyi clasped his hands together, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

There was silence in the shrine.

Jiang Ruyi bowed and walked back.

Seeing Lu Ran still carrying the ingredients, she couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, their ideas were very similar: they both thought the other was stupid.

"You go and practice, I will be very quiet." Jiang Ruyi reached out and took the ingredients.

"Will you cook me a big meal?" Lu Ran asked again, also very excited.

In the past two days since returning home, he has indeed been eating canned food and drinking cold water every day.
Little Ruyi is so thoughtful!

Jiang Ruyi: "When I was practicing at Yumen Pass, I learned a dish."

There was an obvious pause in her words, and she continued, "I'll give you some beef and wolfberry soup."

"Okay, okay!" Lu Ran was so happy that he was even hungry.
Jiang Ruyi pointed to the small bedroom and said, "Go ahead and keep a normal mind."

"Yeah!" Lu Ran walked into the small bedroom and kicked away the magic crystals along the way.

Jiang Ruyi: “.”

So just now, you just looked at me and walked back and forth on tiptoe?
Lu Ran sat down in front of the shrine and looked at the beautiful figure at the door: "Don't just stand there, go cook!"

Jiang Ruyi smiled and glared at Lu Ran.

She grasped the door handle and gently closed the door of the small bedroom.

"Click~"

Lu Ran sat cross-legged in meditation, immediately closed his eyes, and quickly entered the state.

Separated by a door.

Jiang Ruyi stood quietly, eyes lowered, murmuring in her heart.

God bless you,

May Lu Ran be blessed with success and happiness.
Ask for some monthly passes.
