Chapter 662: The Glutton and the Miser

July 23rd, late at night.

Outside Anji City, Qiantang River Province, in a deep mountain forest, a floor-to-ceiling mirror opened and closed.

Lu Ran hid his figure, and flashed in the dark night without anyone noticing.

When there was still eight or nine kilometers away from the Demon Cave and Bamboo Sea, Lu Ran was hanging in the night sky, looking at a quiet military camp in the distance, and also saw the stone sculpture of the god, the lantern, standing there.

She used to be the god worshipped by her younger sister, but now, Xiao Yuanxi has become the evil god Black Lantern.

The two also became sworn enemies.

"It's really hard to predict what's happening in this world." Lu Ran murmured in his heart, and his figure flashed again.

The next moment, he stood directly above the gate of the demon cave where energy fluctuations were quite violent!

The gates to most demon caves in the world are a horizontal "starry sky curtain".

The gate of the Magic Cave and Bamboo Sea looks like a clear lake with a light white mist lingering on the surface, which is full of fairy air.

Lu Ran, who had been invisible all this time, fell freely into it.

Suddenly, the sky became bright!

The Bamboo Sea is indeed a health resort, with a warm and sunny scene all the time.

Lu Ran did not stop. His figure flashed repeatedly as he headed straight for the eerie haunted house hidden in the vast sea of ​​bamboo.

"Youhuang Ferry."

Lu Ran stood in front of the spooky mansion, looking up at the plaque on the door.

Chef Lee,
Your husband is in my hands!

You have three days to pay one hundred thousand copper coins to redeem him, otherwise...

Lu Ran was writing a script in his mind, and he carefully explored the environment around Youhuang Ferry. After confirming that the military soldiers were guarding the periphery, he flashed into the courtyard.

Once again, Lu Ran stood in the center of the courtyard, next to a cluster of evil bamboos, looking up at the second-floor window.

He had mixed feelings.

The last time he came here, Lu Ran was still preparing to challenge Shenxu, and was full of expectations for the world beyond Shenxu.

Now that I am back, I think back to my past
Looking forward to six cakes!

Lu Ran slowly floated up and came to the second-floor window, where he happened to see a woman sitting quietly at the table by the window.

Her skin was still terrifyingly pale.

It's not the cold white skin like Bai Manni, but a paleness that is almost sickly.

She was still thin and frail, with a pair of hollow eyes that were unfocused and made people feel creepy.

The elegant black dress made her look more noble, and the lonely look she showed sitting alone made her look like a rich lady who was raised in a secluded courtyard.

Trapped here forever, unable to see the prosperous world outside.

"Whoo~"

A breeze blew by, bringing the rustling sound of bamboo leaves and making Li Rouyin's hair dance lightly.

She raised her fair jade hands and tidied her hair, but her body froze!
Inadvertently, she seemed to "see" something extraordinary.

Li Rouyin slowly turned her head and looked towards the window with a pair of empty eyes.

Lu Ran was a little confused.

No!

What are you looking at?

I have been using the magic Wolf Hide, please don't mess with me. What the hell?

The girl leaned forward slightly, put one hand toward the window, and whispered with a hint of disbelief: "Lu Ran?"

Lu Ran:?
Her trembling hand finally touched Lu Ran's head.

Lu Ran is just invisible, not virtual, so of course he has a physical body.

"crash"

The bamboo table next to the window was overturned because the girl stood up excitedly.

Lu Ran was completely stunned, his chin resting on the window frame, standing there in a daze.

Until Li Rouyin pressed Lu Ran's head with one hand and touched his eyes with her slender jade fingers.
"Ugh." Lu Ran stepped back quickly and said angrily, "You little blind man, you are so greedy!

You want to dig my eyes out as soon as we meet?"

Li Rouyin's movements froze for a moment, and her expression became more and more delighted.

Finally, she actually chuckled: "Rude! I told you before to use the word 'pick'."

Lu Ran snorted: "Get out of the way, I want to go in."

Li Rouyin stood motionless in front of the window, with her hands behind her back. "How dare you, you lunatic, trespass into Youhuang Ferry without permission? Do you know your crime?"

"I've known my crime for a long time." Lu Ran climbed in through the window.

Li Rouyin quickly stepped back. Her pale face flushed slightly in anger, and she looked much healthier.
"You! You're rude!"

"You are not rude, but you overturned the table and took out your glasses." Lu Ran looked at the overturned bamboo table and chairs, and picked them up one by one as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

Although Li Rouyin couldn't see, she was aware of what Lu Ran was doing.

"Hmph." She raised her chin slightly, and seemed to have calmed down a little.

"How did you find me?" Lu Ran asked, holding up the table and chair. "My magic weapon is amazing. Not only can it make me invisible, it can also hide my aura."

Lu Ran was talking nonsense and classified the Tan Lang magic as the effect of a magic weapon.

"It's not really seeing it, it's just a feeling."

"Feel?"

Li Rouyin nodded slightly: "It feels eerie.

My deathly aura is already heavy enough, and you are probably the only thing in this world that can make me feel gloomy."

Lu Ran: “.”

Is she scolding me?
Yeah, it should be.

Lu Ran saw with his own eyes that a smile appeared on Li Rouyin's lips, and she stretched out her right hand.

"What?" Lu Ran said unhappily.

"Help me sit down." The girl still raised her chin slightly, with a domineering look on her face, which made Lu Ran want to slap her!
But when he thought of her huge wealth, Lu Ran still endured it.

Before eating soft rice,

Let’s not bother with the little rich woman for now!
"I really owe you." Lu Ran muttered, holding her arm and leading her to sit at the bamboo table.

"Have you returned from Shenxu?" Li Rouyin asked impatiently as soon as she sat down.

“I’m back.”

"Really?"

"Not completely back." Lu Ran sat opposite the table, still hiding himself, "I have to go again." "Yeah." Li Rouyin pursed her lips. She had too many doubts about Lu Ran's words, but at this moment, one question lingered in her mind, suppressing everything else.

The girl's voice was small and soft: "You saw my childhood friend"

You can feel that she is very nervous.

Lu Ran chuckled: "Now, we can talk about the gift."

"Dowry?" Li Rouyin looked confused.

"Yes, your childhood sweetheart is now one of my soldiers." Lu Ran smiled at the beautiful girl, "I can make the decision and let him marry into Youhuangdu with great fanfare.

Since we want to have a grand ceremony, I will definitely be there to pay the gift money!"

Lu Ran quickly pressed down the bamboo table with both hands.

After a moment of daze, Li Rouyin stood up excitedly: "You found him! Did you find Yanzhi?"

"Yes! I was exhausted~" Lu Ran frantically took credit, "I ran around everywhere, north and south, looking for him for a whole year and a half!"

"Is he okay? Is he not dead?" Li Rouyin became more and more excited and immersed in her own world.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ran put away his joking thoughts.

He became more serious and confirmed, "Qin Yanzhi is alive and well."

"Okay, okay! That's great." Li Rouyin covered her eyes with her hands and sat back heavily on the bamboo chair.

The usually elegant followers of Forgotten Spring actually seemed a little crazy.

Come to think of it, her relationship with Qin Nianzhi is really good.

Lu Ran didn't make any jokes and just let her vent her distress.

Don't laugh at anyone.

Thinking back to when he met Xiao Ruyi at Wanren Mountain, she wasn't in a good condition either.

After a while, the girl's trembling shoulders finally calmed down.

A soft whisper reached Lu Ran's ears: "I am sorry."

"It's okay." Lu Ran looked out the window at the bamboo sea. "He is not only alive, but also has all his limbs intact, his mental health is good, and his strength has even reached the second stage of the Sea Realm."

Li Rouyin's focus is not on strength.

Instead, it was the eight words that Lu Ran said: healthy limbs and mental health.

As smart as she is, she can realize how dangerous and cruel the world beyond the Ruins of Gods is.

Otherwise, Lu Ran would not have placed special emphasis on physical and mental conditions.

"Now that he's joined me, it's even more unlikely that anything will happen to Yan Zhi." Lu Ran comforted the girl, "He's with me, don't worry, no one will bully him."

"Yeah." Li Rouyin nodded repeatedly, hesitating, "Then he..."

"He missed you, too."

"Hmph." The noble and elegant girl actually pouted her lips.

I don't know if she was just throwing a tantrum or questioning Lu Ran's words.

Lu Ran explained to his subordinates: "He can't come back for the time being. There are many issues involved. You can ask Lord Wangquan. I won't say more."

Hearing this, Li Rouyin fell silent.

After a long time, she looked at Lu Ran with her lifeless eyes, her face was extremely sincere: "Lu Ran, thank you."

Such a solemn expression of gratitude made Lu Ran feel embarrassed to speak.

Um. No, no.

You need to be thick-skinned to eat enough!

Lu Ran muttered quietly: "Just a verbal thank you?"

"Haha~" Li Rouyin finally smiled and stood up slowly. "You greedy little devil, you want to eat my soul again?"

Lu Ran scratched his head in embarrassment.

Different from before, this time Li Rouyin spoke with a smile, not looking too distressed: "Let's go, sister will treat you to a meal."

The attitude has changed, and the name has changed too.

Lu Ran not only accepted General Qin, but also became closer to this believer of Wangquan.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two was not very good.

After all, every time Lu Ran came, he would eat a lot, and Li Rouyin's heart bleeds.

If Master Wangquan had not insisted that his disciples befriend Lu Ran, Li Rouyin would have picked up her cane and driven Lu Ran out of Youhuang Ferry.
"Go, glutton, bring me my blind stick." Li Rouyin gave the order again.

Before, the cane was always at her side.

Since the table was overturned, no one knows where it rolled to.

As Lu Ran searched, he said, "I won't eat the dead souls, since you collected them with so much effort.

A gentleman does not take away what others like! "

Li Rouyin was almost so angry that she laughed.

How could such words come out of your mouth?

And from Li Rouyin's reaction, Lu Ran could also tell that she knew very little about Holy Spirit Mountain.

Lu Ran finally found the cane and handed it over: "I told you, if you want Qin Nianzhi to be your son-in-law, you have to give him some gift money."

Lu Ran emphasized the word "money".

Li Rouyin was even more confused: "Money? What do you want that for?"

Lu Ran: “.”

What a word!

I took the money to buy mutton, but it's not okay! It went into the ditch.

Lu Ran said shamelessly, "I see a lot of ancient copper coins in the Hall of Rebirth in the backyard, huh?"

Li Rouyin opened her mouth slightly before she realized what Lu Ran wanted.

I thought that this glutton Lu Ran had a change of heart and would not rob the souls that I had collected with great effort.

I didn't expect him to go even further and actually want Dharma instruments and money for the afterlife?!
"I can still make the decision for the dead souls, but the money for the afterlife all belongs to Lord Wangquan." Li Rouyin gritted her teeth and suddenly stopped talking halfway.

Lu Ran didn't understand.

Li Rouyin seemed to have thought of something, and her attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees: "I will go to the palace to find Master Wangquan now, and I will ask for you."

Lu Ran was shocked!

Is this still the stingy girl Li Rouyin?

Lu Ran did not doubt the relationship between Li Rouyin and Qin Yanzhi.

But her attitude kept changing.

Is there something fishy going on here?
