Chapter 254 Scapegoat

In the next few days, Lu Ran practiced at home, preparing for a breakthrough.

Jiang Ruyi didn't come to visit either. I guess she was worried about disturbing Lu Ran.

The two of them exchanged text messages quite frequently, and they would always chat for a few minutes before going to bed every night.

Jiang Ruyi on the phone was as cool as ever.

She seemed to have a talent for making the subject talk till death.

It’s very annoying~
There were a few moments when Lu Ran wanted to put on his clothes and go out, rush directly to the Zaishui Yifang community, drag her out of the house, and find out what was going on!

In the end, Lu Ran came to an answer: he didn’t kiss her enough.

Xiao Xiao Ru Yi, you wait
Waiting for the fifteenth day!

Lu Ran's conspiracy did not succeed because on the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, Jiang Ruyi actually came to visit him.

It was early in the morning, and when Lu Ran heard the knock on the door, he was a little confused.

After all, it is the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar and the whole city is under martial law, so not everyone can leave their homes.

He walked out of the small bedroom and quickly went to open the door. As the door opened, a beautiful figure came into view.

"Ruyi?" Lu Ran was stunned.

Jiang Ruyi was wearing a black raincoat. Under the hood, there was a faint smile on her fair and beautiful face.

Looking at Lu Ran's silly look, she couldn't help but chuckle:
"We've only been apart for a few days, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

That cute and lovely appearance is completely different from her on the phone.

The next moment, the teasing in Jiang Ruyi's eyes disappeared without a trace, because Lu Ran suddenly took a step forward and put his arms around her waist.

"My body is wet." Jiang Ruyi said softly and looked away.

It was drizzling outside, and her raincoat was indeed wet.

However, Lu Ran didn't care. He leaned forward and kissed her beautiful lips.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi's cheeks flushed and she subconsciously pushed Lu Ran's shoulder.

In a short moment, she closed her beautiful eyes, gave up struggling, and let him do it.

It took a long time before Lu Ran let her go.

This time, it was his turn to make fun of her: "You're on your phone, so cool huh?"

Jiang Ruyi lowered her eyes and whispered, "Every time you come to chat with me, it's too late.

I want you to go to bed early so you can get enough rest for the promotion."

Lu Ran understood and said with a smile: "Is this the reason why you always reply with 'hmm'?"

Jiang Ruyi whispered: "Oh, then I won't reply next time."

Lu Ran: ???
Little Ruyi is so rebellious!
"You said last night that you planned to advance this morning?" Jiang Ruyi suddenly changed the subject and brought up business.

"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded.

"Yes." Jiang Ruyi raised her right hand.

Only then did Lu Ran realize that she was holding a bag in her right hand, which contained an insulated box.

"This is?"

"Did you not have breakfast?" Although Jiang Ruyi asked a question, she used a declarative tone and seemed to know Lu Ran very well.

Lu Ran: “.”

“Advancement is different from normal training. You have to stay focused at all times, and it’s very physically demanding. How can you do it on an empty stomach?” Jiang Ruyi said as she stuffed the bag into Lu Ran’s hand.

Lu Ran felt warm in his heart and wanted to eat a can of luncheon meat and drink a can of milk.

Unexpectedly, there is also a loving breakfast.

Hehe, it's really good~
It was worth it that I was trapped by you in the illusion and spent so much time in Ghost Moon Mountain.

Jiang Ruyi took a step back and said softly, "Just concentrate on advancing after dinner. I'll go back first."

"Stop!" Lu Ran pulled her to the shoe rack, squatted down and changed her shoes.

Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a long time, but finally Lu Ran helped her change her shoes, take off her raincoat, and led her into the house.

When facing Lu Ran, she always didn't know how to refuse.

The scene in the small bedroom made Jiang Ruyi laugh uncontrollably.

There were Ghost Moon Fox's magic crystals scattered on the ground, exactly the same as when Lu Ran advanced last time.

There was also a little tabby cat, fiddling with one of the magic crystals, playing carefree.

Once again, Jiang Ruyi tiptoed gracefully, stepped on the open spaces, and came to the small shrine.

"Master Xianyang, Ruyi is sorry for disturbing you."

The girl put her hands together and bowed politely.

Unlike last time, Jiang Ruyi was already very familiar with this shrine and the statues.

Or rather, she was already very familiar with this home.

The only thing she had never entered was the master bedroom.

"I advance, and you can practice beside me." Lu Ran suggested, "It's just right for you to consolidate your realm."

When the believers were promoted, the divine power around them was very strong.

"Let's eat first." Jiang Ruyi said softly.

"Meow~Meow~" When the little tabby cat saw its mistress coming home, it immediately came up to her and kept rubbing against her trouser legs.

With that pitiful look, I thought Lu Ran had abused him.
The breakfast that Jiang Ruyi brought was very sumptuous.

Boiled eggs, white porridge, fried potato pancakes, and cold okra and green vegetables and mushrooms.

Lu Ran was so happy to eat it!

To be honest, if we fail to advance, it would be a shame for this meal.
After eating and drinking, Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi returned to the small bedroom and sat down in front of the shrine.

"Wow~"

Lu Ran casually picked up a handful of magic crystals, calmed his mind, and then took a deep breath!

By noon, the Ghost Moon Fox magic crystals in the house had been mostly absorbed, and Lu Ran finally entered the promotion mode.

The fog between heaven and earth gathered towards the small bedroom.

"Shh." Jiang Ruyi soothed the restless cat. Feeling the increasingly strong divine power in the hut, a hint of joy flashed across her eyes.

Although all this seemed to be a natural thing, Jiang Ruyi was still extremely grateful.

After Lu Ran is promoted to the third stage of the River Realm, he will be able to learn the divine method of the body of sin. From now on, Lu Ran's life safety will be greatly guaranteed!
Whenever he is in a critical moment, he can summon the Immortal Sheep to come and block the fatal blow for him!
If it were an ordinary believer of the Immortal Sheep, he would probably never be able to receive the mercy of the Immortal Sheep in his entire life.

But Lu Ran...
Considering how much the god Xian Yang dotes on Lu Ran, he will at least appear once to save Lu Ran's life, right?

Jiang Ruyi was secretly delighted and silently blessed Lu Ran.

We waited until the evening.

By then, Little Lihua had already slipped out of the small bedroom, and only the girl was by Lu Ran's side, waiting for the moment to come.

"call!!"

A strong wind suddenly arose, and the air waves surged!
Jiang Ruyi covered her face with one hand, and her long black hair fluttered.

Immediately, the fairy mist lingering in the room was absorbed by Lu Ran at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was all crushed and condensed into water streams, flowing slowly in his body.

"Ah"

Lu Ran let out a long breath, leaned back, and lay directly on the ground.

There is not the slightest sign of a master.

Jiang Ruyi straightened her messy long hair, looked at Lu Ran lying on his back, and couldn't help laughing secretly.

I'm afraid there is no believer in this world who dares to be as presumptuous as him.

Jiang Ruyi really found it difficult to judge to what extent Lord Xianyang doted on Lu Ran.

"Success!" Lu Ran turned his head and looked at the girl next to him.

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi looked at him with a smile, "Do you want to learn some magic?"

Lu Ran: “.”

Without even celebrating, you start practicing divine techniques directly?
How fragile am I in your eyes?

"Alright." Lu Ran straightened his clothes, stood in front of the shrine, and clasped his hands together, "Thank you for the protection of Master Xianyang!"

Inside the shrine, the jade sculpture of Aries lies quietly, with a faint white mist lingering around.

Lu Ran continued, "Master Xianyang, can you let me try out the Divine Technique: Sin-Substitute Body?"

Jiang Ruyi stood quietly by the side, listening to Lu Ran's excessive demands.

She was also a little greedy and was looking forward to Lu Ran being able to cast the spell successfully so she could practice this life-saving skill in advance.

"Whoo~"

The next second, Lu Ran's divine power surged and became more and more violent.

In the past few days, Lu Ran has already learned how to use the divine method of the Scapegoating Body, but whether he can use it successfully depends on whether the Immortal Sheep Lord is willing to show up.

Jiang Ruyi quickly stepped back, staring at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran released his divine power and covered his entire body.

This method is similar to the casting method of Water Armor, but it is a one-time deal and will consume a huge amount of divine power.

"call!!"

Fairy mist rose up, and Lu Ran's short hair fluttered lightly.

His eyes were full of brilliance and brilliance!
The streams of water wrapped around Lu Ran's body seemed to be boiling, and the scene was particularly shocking.

Divine Law: The Scapegoat!

"Disciple Lu Ran, begs for the gods' protection!"

Lu Ran murmured something, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly towards the shrine.

"Om!!"

A huge shadow descended from the sky and enveloped Lu Ran.

It was clearly sitting, but the horns on its head were almost touching the ceiling!

It is dressed in a wide white jade robe, surrounded by fairy mist, showing its immortal style.

The robe was as crystal clear and smooth as mutton-fat jade, sparkling with a strange luster, and it rose and fell slowly like the waves.

Not only is it stunningly beautiful, it’s also majestic!
Jiang Ruyi opened her mouth slightly and looked up at the huge phantom of the god.

The Immortal Sheep Lord really showed up.

After a moment's reaction, she quickly knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and murmured in her heart:
"Thank you, Immortal Sheep, for protecting Lu Ran. I am grateful."

The phantom of the immortal sheep seemed to have sensed something. It turned its head slightly and looked at the human girl who was kneeling devoutly beside it.

Its originally kind look quietly changed.

There seems to be some appreciation, but more of it is relief.

"Whoo~"

The shadow of the immortal sheep disappeared without a trace, taking away Lu Ran's boiling divine power.

There was only a faint fairy mist lingering around, and Lu Ran in the mist looked uncomfortable.

He had just been promoted, and the divine power in his body was overflowing!
However, just one casting of the spell took away most of Lu Ran's divine power!

This consumes too much mana.

But then again, compared to saving his life, it's worth it.

"You can be more unrestrained in the future." Lu Ran licked his lips.

Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice entered Lu Ran's mind:

"you dare!"

“I dare not, I dare not.” Lu Ran hurriedly shook his head.

The voice transmission came again: "It's okay for you to lose some of your divine power.

If I get hurt in this state, I will lose my energy source."

Lu Ran was shocked, knowing the importance of the source of energy, and immediately said: "Disciple understands!

If it wasn't a matter of life and death, I would never use this method."

Aries Jade Sculpture: “Well, this method is only useful in the human world.

Now that you have reached the third stage of the River Realm, all kinds of evil magic are enough to protect you from worries. Study them carefully, especially the teleportation method of the evil dog clan.

In addition, you need to learn the Yanzhi style of paper-making figurines as soon as possible.

The other world is still waiting for you."

It was rare for the Lord God to give a long speech, and Lu Ran was deeply moved when he heard it!
He nodded heavily: "Yes!"
