Chapter 381 The Little Beggar
Inside the bamboo sea of the Demon Cave, outside the seventh bamboo village.
A group of people walked along the bamboo forest path.
Little Yuanxi was in a very good mood, walking briskly, holding a spicy duck wing in his hand.
As she ate, she gasped for air and her little face turned red from the spiciness.
"We're almost there." Lu Ran pointed to the fork in the road in the distance.
There was a sign there that read: Private property, no trespassing.
"Wow!" Qiao Yuanxi exclaimed, "Sister Rouyin is so rich, hiss..."
The Demon Cave and Bamboo Sea is a well-known resort for recuperation in Daxia.
Renting a private courtyard here is expensive enough, but Li Rouyin has a private residence?
Lu Ran patted Xiao Yuanxi's head and said, "Be careful with your address. Ms. Li Rouyin is older than me."
"Oh." Qiao Yuanxi sucked her fingertips, "Brother, give me another duck wing."
Lu Ran looked at the bamboo basket in Hao Tian's hand.
Hao Tian: “.”
Sister Qiao has a greedy little mouth, and Brother Lu has a sinful little hand.
Hao Tian has a heart that dares to be angry but not to speak out.
The delicious food was indeed bought by Lu Ran on the way here, and he bought a lot of it.
But little Yuanxi can’t resist eating!
During this journey, she never stopped talking.
It was only after Jiang Ruyi said it softly that little Yuanxi gave up in disappointment.
A few minutes later, when several people saw Youhuangdu, Qiao Yuanxi was stunned!
Is this the residence of princes and nobles?
"Youhuang Ferry."
Jiang Ruyi looked at the plaque on the gate of the mansion.
Thinking of what Lu Ran said about Lord Wangquan's ability, as well as the fragment of the magic weapon given to Lu Ran by the gods, Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The word "cross" is really vivid.
A mysterious god with special powers, he has only one believer.
Will this unique Li Rouyin be on Lu Ran’s recruitment list?
Jiang Ruyi had already sorted out his thoughts about Deng Yuxiang.
Lu Ran has an extremely grand vision, and on this long journey, he certainly needs many like-minded and powerful comrades.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
Hao Tian knocked on the door of the mansion and then waited quietly.
The mansion was completely silent, with only the rustling of wind through the bamboo forest to be heard.
Lu Ran asked, "Is it possible that she can't hear it?"
Hao Tian shook his head: "Maybe she can't hear it, but she must know it."
Lu Ran was a little confused: "Wangquan School has the technique to enhance hearing?"
Hao Tian told the truth: "I don't know about this either, but as long as she is within the range of Youhuang Ferry, she knows everything."
Lu Ran looked at the gate of the mansion and asked, "Was the gate closed last time I came here?"
Hao Tian looked a little embarrassed: "Maybe I come too often and she is annoyed."
Lu Ran came to the door of the mansion and pressed one hand on the door: "We are here to visit. Isn't it impolite to just push the door open? Eh?"
The door of the mansion suddenly opened.
Qiao Yuanxi burst out laughing and quickly covered her mouth.
Lu Ran looked at them and said, "It was blown by the wind."
Hao Tian: “.”
Qiao Yuanxi was full of curiosity as he peered into the mansion.
In the center of the courtyard stands a cluster of huge evil bamboos. On both sides of the courtyard, one can see the exquisitely constructed east and west wing rooms.
"This?" Hao Tian stood outside the door, hesitant.
"Brother Hao!" Lu Ran put his arm around Hao Tian's shoulders. "There's an old saying in Daxia: Since we're here,
Qiao Yuanxi smiled and said, "One more sentence! It's New Year's Day~"
Hao Tian smiled helplessly.
It's true that I'm rude and impolite, and it's also true that I miss my sister, so I'll take advantage of Brother Lu's visit to let off some steam!
Hao Tian stepped in, and several others followed.
Hao Tian walked around the cluster of evil bamboo in the center of the courtyard and stopped. A beautiful figure was standing at the second-floor window of the main room in front of him.
She has fair skin and extremely beautiful features.
She was wearing a black dress with an ancient style, with her long hair tied behind her head and a simple wooden hairpin inserted in it.
She stood quietly in front of the window, with a unique temperament, like a classical beauty walking out of a painting.
The only thing that was not beautiful was that she had a pair of dull eyes.
Empty and godless.
No human emotions at all!
He is born to be a swordsman!
Unfortunately, Master Jianyi failed to recruit this cold-blooded human girl as his disciple.
"Rou Yin."
Hao Tian gritted his teeth and called out.
Qiao Yuanxi couldn't remember how many times he had been surprised.
Ever since he saw the woman in the black dress, Qiao Yuanxi has been immersed in her unique temperament and charm.
Is there really someone in this world who can compare with Sister Ruyi?
Are you kidding?
Seeing that his sister didn't say anything, Hao Tian continued: "It's the New Year, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Li Rouyin finally spoke, ignoring Hao Tian, and uttered two words:
"Lu Ran."
"Ah?" Lu Ran immediately waved his hand, "Happy New Year."
Li Rouyin's indifferent voice was like a cold spring, freezing people to the bone:
"You are guilty of trespassing in Youhuang Ferry. Do you know your crime?"
"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi shivered from the cold and hid behind Jiang Ruyi.
"You believed me when I said the door was blown open by the wind. Uh, forget it." Lu Ran said embarrassedly, "It's been more than a year. I came to burn a stick of incense for Master Wangquan and wish you a happy new year."
Li Rouyin looked down at Lu Ran with a hollow gaze: "Offering incense? New Year's greetings?
Do you really think I don't know what you are doing here?"
Lu Ran said with a serious expression: "I'm not sure what you think of me, I have to clarify!
Your idea is probably correct.”
Li Rouyin: ???
"Puff, cough, cough." Qiao Yuanxi quickly covered her mouth.
The sudden turn almost twisted Hao Tian's waist.
Lu Ran asked, "Can I go in and burn a stick of incense for Lord Wangquan?"
"Heh." Li Rouyin was so angry that she laughed.
Damn guy!
Relying on the favor of the Lord God, he is simply lawless! Last time, Lord Wangquan wanted to give Lu Ran a sweet date, and Li Rouyin thought that Lu Ran would be more sensible.
What a result!
Lu Ran specifically picked out the precious ones and chose the copper coin string of the Night Demon Clan!
Li Rouyin's heart was bleeding.
Inside every illusory copper coin on that red line was a soul that she had captured with great effort.
And this time Lu Ran comes again, I'm afraid he will eat and drink for free again
She bit her lower lip and wanted to order him to leave.
But Li Rouyin hesitated.
After all, Lord Wangquan has expressed his hope that he can be on good terms with Lu Ran.
Hao Tian stared at the window in a daze.
Have you ever seen a sister who is as cold as ice have such rich expressions?
Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ran with suspicion.
What on earth had he done to make this Forgotten Spring believer so angry and so conflicted?
Lu Ran clasped his hands and said, "Please be so kind as to allow me to burn a stick of incense for Lord Wangquan."
Li Rouyin put her hand on the window frame: "You"
She uttered a solitary word, and then nothing else.
After just a few seconds, Li Rouyin smiled again.
Helpless smile.
Lu Ran: "What's wrong?"
Li Rouyin was silent for a long time, and her voice returned to its previous coldness: "Come up."
Jiang Ruyi: “.”
Qiao Yuanxi: “.”
Lu Ran was overjoyed, but he did not get carried away!
He came to Jiang Ruyi, picked up his fiancée's delicate hand, kissed the back of her hand, and asked, "Can I go up and take a look?"
Jiang Ruyi smiled and glared at Lu Ran: "Go ahead."
"I'll be right down!" Lu Ran turned and left.
On the way, Hao Tian delivered the bamboo basket with ease.
Lu Ran took it and strode towards the main room.
Once again, he went up to the second floor and saw the woman sitting at the bamboo table by the window.
"The changes are significant." Lu Ran said.
"Really?" Li Rouyin held the bamboo cup in her hand, playing with it gently, adjusting her mood.
The moment the Lord God sent the message, she knew that she would have to bleed again.
Since you are powerless to resist, just face it with a smile.
"You're feeling much better." Lu Ran placed the bamboo basket containing spicy duck necks on the table.
Li Rouyin has been promoted to Jiang Realm and only needs to absorb energy from heaven and earth to maintain her life.
As a result, she gained weight even though she didn't like to eat.
But compared to normal women, she is still thin, with thin arms and legs.
"Oh." Li Rouyin turned and looked at Lu Ran.
Although he was a blind man, his beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed.
The more she looked at Lu Ran, the more shocked Li Rouyin became: "You really didn't waste this year."
Lu Ran said modestly: "Not bad! You are not bad either, you have an amazing aura."
Just now, Li Rouyin's words were enough to make Qiao Yuanxi shiver.
Others may not know, but Lu Ran knows it in his heart: it is not because Li Rouyin’s aura is cold or her words are cold, but because of the coldness that comes from another dimension!
"Would you like something to eat?" Lu Ran took out the plate and placed it in front of Li Rouyin.
"Why did you suddenly remember to visit me?" Li Rouyin ignored the spicy duck wings.
Lu Ran sighed in his heart, it’s different after being promoted to Jiang Realm?
Originally, under Li Rouyin's elegant and indifferent appearance, there was a naughty and weird heart.
It's quite fun.
Now, it seems it can’t be found.
Lu Ran lamented the loss of human nature and said, “After some time, Master Xianyang will open a divine ruin for me.
I want to get myself in peak condition before taking on the challenge."
"Shenxu?"
"Yes, Shenxu."
Li Rouyin seemed to be thinking about something, and it was unclear whether she was communicating with the God.
Lu Ran waited for a long time before he tentatively said:
"So I thought I'd try my luck and see if I could eat something good."
Li Rouyin suddenly raised her lips slightly, and said in a playful tone: "Didn't you just say that you came to burn incense and wish a happy new year?"
"Huh?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment.
Does this girl still have any humanity?
Li Rouyin looked dissatisfied: "What's your reaction?"
Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "I thought you had become so strong and were with the dead every day, that you had lost the joys and sorrows of the human world."
Li Rouyin pursed her lips: "Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
This little expression finally reminded Lu Ran of her lively and naughty appearance in the Hall of Rebirth a year ago.
He asked tentatively: "Does the Savage Nüba have it?"
Li Rouyin's expression was a little stiff.
The Savage Nüba is the mortal enemy of the second-class god Xihuang Axe.
As precious as the soul of Ye Mei!
In the past year, the intensity of evil spirit invasions has increased, and special incidents have occurred frequently. Li Rouyin actually has a string of copper coins from the wild goddess Nüba.
"Xiao Rouyin?" Lu Ran used the name he called her a year ago, trying to summon the few remaining friendships.
“Yes, brother.” Li Rouyin retorted using the name that Lu Ran didn’t like a year ago.
Lu Ran was overjoyed!
How dare a beggar express even the slightest dissatisfaction?
He pushed the duck wing forward: "Eat some, eat some, spicy, you like it."
Li Rouyin finally stopped refusing and reached out to pick up a duck wing.
Seeing her putting the wing tip into her mouth, Lu Ran shamelessly whispered, "Well, besides the Wilderness Nüba, is there any Qiansiying?"
"Boom!"
The sudden sound of slamming the table startled several people downstairs.
Then, several people heard a woman's gnashing voice coming from upstairs:
"Lu! Burning!!"
