Chapter 209 Kiss

There was silence in the living room.

The tabby cat was lazily lying on the armrest of the sofa, with its tail hanging out and swaying, enjoying the afternoon leisurely.

"Meow?"

The little tabby suddenly raised his nose and smelled a hint of meat.

It got up, followed the scent, quietly came to the kitchen door, and looked curiously at the figure in front of the kitchen counter.

On the induction cooker, a small casserole was emitting steam and the lid was making a slight sound.

The girl opened the lid of the casserole and skimmed off the foam on the soup with a spoon.

"Meow~" the tabby cat moved forward.

I don’t know whether it has become familiar with the girl or it thinks she is gentle enough.

The little tabby cat actually followed the long leg and climbed all the way up.

"Huh?" Jiang Ruyi lowered her head and saw the little guy playing mischief beside her legs.

She smiled, ignored the little cat, and continued to carefully skim the foam on the soup.

Not until the little raccoon came to her shoulder after trekking through mountains and rivers did Jiang Ruyi turn down the heat and cover the casserole again.

"Meow~"Lihua called out dissatisfiedly.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Ruyi patted the furry little head. "After a while, huh?"

Jiang Ruyi suddenly felt something and walked out of the kitchen.

The increasingly violent energy fluctuations indicated a fact.

Lu Ran succeeded?
Have we finally entered promotion mode?

Jiang Ruyi stood at the kitchen door, looking towards the small bedroom.

Obviously, the divine power in the house was extremely strong! Under the crack of the bedroom door, wisps of white mist were spreading outward.

It was like dry ice sprayed on the stage.

"Meow~" The little tabby cat rubbed the girl's cheek, calling out unwillingly.

Jiang Ruyi seemed not to notice.

She stood there quietly for a long time, then returned to the kitchen. From her brisk steps, it could be seen that she was in a good mood.

At the same time, in the small bedroom.

The ground was full of magic crystals before, but now it is empty.

Lu Ran was still sitting on the ground, and the energy fluctuations around him were particularly violent.

In his hand, he was holding a magic crystal that was half the size of his palm.

Before Lu Ran absorbed this Jiang-grade magic crystal, he had already achieved the desired result.

"Hmm." Lu Ran trembled slightly, suppressing the joy in his heart and dragging out a long nasal sound.

Feeling comfortable~
The fog that surged between heaven and earth was constantly taken into Lu Ran's body, and then compressed by him into streams of water.

"Clap."

Lu Ran loosened his grip, and the Jiang Pin Magic Crystal fell to the ground. He was afraid that the magic crystal would be absorbed by him accidentally.

Keep it. Anyway, all other magic crystals have been absorbed, and only this one is left at home. The energy fluctuation is not that big, so it should be fine.

I’ll use it next time, or when Xiao Ruyi gets promoted, I’ll lend her a hand.

Lu Ran gradually fell into this wonderful world.

He guided the water flow, circulating it within his body, expanding his meridians again and again.

The flesh and blood of the human race is constantly nourished and transformed by divine power.
In the kitchen, in front of the kitchen counter.

Jiang Ruyi took the spoon, scooped up a little soup, and took a sip.

"Meow~" The little tabby cat was extremely anxious, but was held in the girl's arms. He could only struggle in vain and could not escape at all.

Jiang Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, stuck out her tongue and licked her thin lips.

The taste is a little different, but still pretty good?
In fact, even if she brought mutton to the door, it would be no problem.

The god, the immortal sheep, did not cultivate himself into a god with the nature of a "sheep", and he does not have any special feelings for the sheep species.

But after much thought, Jiang Ruyi decided to change the ingredients.

After all, you came to visit and stewed mutton soup for the immortal sheep believers.
It doesn't sound good to say it out loud.

"Meow~ meow meow meow~"

The little tabby girl was indeed a little clever. Seeing that she couldn't escape no matter what, she started to act coquettishly.

It kept whimpering and rubbing against the girl's arms.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Ruyi seemed to be a person who would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones, and was annoyed by the little guy.

She took out a piece of beef from the casserole, put it in a bowl, and returned to the dining table with little tabby cat in her arms and sat down.

The beef and wolfberry soup in the pot was simmering slowly. The girl at the table was teasing the little cat with a smile.

As night fell, it started raining again in Yuxiang City.

In the small bedroom, the long-lasting upgrade finally bore fruit.

"call!!"

A gust of wind blew up and the furniture in the house moved.

Lu Ran suddenly opened his eyes, there was still a light flowing in his eyes, which was breathtaking.

River Realm, Section 2!

Just one more section left!

As long as he advances one more small level, Lu Ran's combat effectiveness will see a qualitative breakthrough!

Whether it is the evil magic of the Night Phantom Clan, Night Phantom, or the evil magic of the Evil Dog Clan, Evil Shadow Flash, they are all evil magics suitable for the third stage of the River Realm.

At least Lu Ran is very confident that after he has the ability to teleport, he will definitely be stronger than a dog!
"Haha!" Lu Ran quickly stood up, opened the door, and strode out.

The lights in the living room were bright, and a figure was walking out of the kitchen and looking over here.

"Success!" Lu Ran said with big strides, "Second stage!"

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran's excitement and said, "Congratulations!"

Jiang Ruyi, who opened her mouth to congratulate, was suddenly hugged by someone.

Lu Ran was overjoyed. As the soft and fragrant girl came into his arms, he picked her up and spun around in a circle.

Jiang Ruyi blushed slightly as she shared the joy.

She wrapped her arms around Lu Ran, lowered her head slightly, and buried her face in his neck.

"It smells so good." Lu Ran put Jiang Ruyi down and suddenly spoke.

"Well, the soup is ready. Hmm." Jiang Ruyi's eyes suddenly widened.

Because Lu Ran suddenly leaned forward and lightly kissed the girl's thin lips.

Sneak attack
In an instant, Jiang Ruyi's already slightly red cheeks turned bright red.

"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded secretly.

The sneak attack was successful~
Jiang Ruyi took two steps back in panic, her face flushed with shame, and was at a loss for what to do after seeing this sudden scene. "Let me see, what delicious food have you made?" Lu Ran immediately walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Ruyi: ???

This person, what's wrong with this person?
Just kiss and run?
"Wow!" Lu Ran opened the lid of the casserole, looked at the beef and wolfberry soup simmering over low heat, and picked up the little cat in his arms.

This little thing, doesn't it really feel hot?
You were really greedy. As soon as I opened the lid of the pot, your little head stuck into the pot?
"Ruyi! Where's Ruyi?" Lu Ran called out while serving the soup.

"I, I'll go back first." Jiang Ruyi's voice came from the living room.

"Ah?" Lu Ran quickly walked out of the kitchen, "It's raining outside. I'll take you back later."

"It's late. I'm leaving first." Jiang Ruyi's eyes were a little evasive and he had already put on his leather boots.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "I just want to do it early and be bolder."

"what?"

"I think the Deng siblings have the right ideas. They spend money lavishly and buy whatever they like."

As he spoke, Lu Ran stepped forward and said, "After all, this world is so dangerous. You never know when people will die."

Of course, the premise for Lu Ran to do all this was that he had confirmed and felt her feelings.

At the same time, Lu Ran was also following his own heart.

Over the past two years, everything has been integrated into every little bit.

In this case, Lu Ran certainly wants to take the initiative.

Just like last year, when Lu Ran was standing in the playground as punishment, he took the opportunity to form a team and shouted out the words "I want to be together".

Since becoming believers, the two faced the battlefield directly, which was even more dangerous.

The scene of several people fighting against Jiangjing Evil Dog a few days ago is still vivid in my mind.

Why wait?
"Bah, bah, bah, what a crow's mouth." Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

Lu Ran held her hand and shook it left and right, just like he did before in school.

I don't know if this action is a request or a confirmation of whether I can wield this magical weapon.

Lu Ran: "You've been cooking this soup for so long, let's drink it together.

I'll take you back in a while."

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran with shame and annoyance, but was finally led back into the house by him.

"shoe"

"It's okay, I'll mop the floor later."

"I just need to change my shoes. What are you afraid of? I'm not running." Jiang Ruyi said angrily and amusedly.

"What are you talking about? Weren't you about to run away just now?" Lu Ran muttered softly.

Jiang Ruyi: “.”

It’s all because of your sneak attack!

As she thought about it, Jiang Ruyi's face turned red again, as if it was burning.

Jiang Ruyi asked herself honestly, she has always been generous and graceful in her dealings with others.

But in front of someone
The two returned to the kitchen and Lu Ran ate with relish.

Xiao Ruyi's craftsmanship is truly amazing!

Steaming hot, with just the right amount of saltiness.

No need for rice, just drink from the bowl.

Lu Ran was completely drunk~
There is nothing more refreshing than drinking a bowl of beef and wolfberry soup after a successful promotion.

Jiang Ruyi only took two bites and then put down the spoon.

She leaned her elbows on the dining table, her palms supporting her cheeks, and watched Lu Ran wolfing down his food.

"You should eat something." Lu Ran said vaguely.

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi came back to her senses, her mood had calmed down, "The Yunshan City Divine Bureau called me and agreed to let me join the patrol team."

"Okay." Lu Ran said vaguely, "Now you don't have to worry about not having enough points.

All the universities will surely be able to recognize this talent.”

Jiang Ruyi smiled and looked at Lu Ran gently: "Don't think about me all the time, think about yourself.

I watched the episode of Tianjiao on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there were five students who scored over 5 points.

There were even more people who scored 130 points.”

"It depends on luck." Lu Ran said casually.

After the fifteenth night, "Tianjiao" will give corresponding scores based on the performance of the participating students.

The full score is 150 points.

And those five people who Jiang Ruyi mentioned who scored more than 5 points in the exam, without exception, all encountered special events.

Four of the students encountered a night parade of ghosts, and one student encountered the advent of the devil.

It can be seen that the frequency of special events occurring in various parts of Daxia is really getting higher and higher.

If this trend continues, I am afraid that the so-called special events will become the norm.

“However, people say that Yuxiang City is a cursed city.” Lu Ran drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl.

Judging from Yuxiang City’s past experiences, the intensity and level of Lu Ran’s “examination room” would definitely not be low.

In fact, Lu Ran was somewhat conflicted. He didn't want Yuxiang City to experience wind and rain again, but...well, forget it, it would be better if there were no special events.

Patrol more diligently, deal with more high-level demons in the river realm, protect the residential area, and help the Moon Watchers more.
Lu Ran firmly believed that he could find a way to make the two of them shine.

Just as he firmly believed that he could keep Xiao Ruyi by his side and walk a very long way together.

"Everything will go well, just like before." Jiang Ruyi said softly.

Like before?

Lu Ran glanced across the kitchen counter, feeling the kitchen that had not been warm for a long time, and looked at the steam rising from the pot.

Jiang Ruyi stretched out her hand: "Shall I serve you some more?"

"I'll do it myself." Lu Ran took the bowl, stood up and walked to the kitchen counter, "Can I discuss something?"

"what?"

"From now on, before every battle, will you come and make this soup for me?"

Jiang Ruyi pretended to think for a while and said, "It depends on your performance."

Lu Ran carefully scooped the soup, afraid of spilling it, and a smile appeared on his face:
"okay."

The night rain outside the window is drizzling.

A warm home with warm lights.

Like before.

Like many years ago.
