Chapter 663: Receiving the Dowry

Inside the Hall of Rebirth.

The girl in the black dress knelt in front of the statue of the god and could not get up.

Fine red silk fell from above like rain, swaying gently in the hall.

At the end of each red silk thread, there is an ancient copper coin tied. Occasionally, when the coins collide with each other, they will make a pleasant sound.

Lu Ran stood quietly at the entrance of the hall, his eyes passing through the beautiful red rain, looking at the slender figure in the depths of the hall.

She didn’t know what Li Rouyin and Lord Wangquan had said to each other. She had been kneeling for a long time.

Lord Wangquan, do you disagree?
"Alas," Lu Ran sighed, and out of boredom, he opened his pair of cold eyes.

In an instant, the scene in front of my eyes changed.

The silky red rain swaying in the wind turned into strange strings of money.

The illusory copper coins, filled with the aura of death, combined with the red color of joy, made this Hall of the Dead look even more terrifying.

"Lu Ran."

"Yes!" Lu Ran responded immediately.

"You come." Li Rouyin turned her head slightly, looking behind with empty eyes, "Thank you, Lord Wangquan."

Lu Ran walked quickly forward and walked through the red rain alone.

"Ding-ling~Ding-ling-ling~"

Clear and crisp sounds came one after another, and Li Rouyin's mouth corners slightly raised when she heard them.

She didn't need to look to know where Lu Ran had gone. Just like the previous times he came, he could not escape the "red rain".

"Thank you, Lord Wangquan, for the reward." Lu Ran clasped his hands together and bowed politely.

"My horizons are not broad enough." Li Rouyin stood up, "Lord Wangquan said that you don't lack souls now?"

"Actually, I do." Lu Ran smiled, "It's just that there's no need to cause you any more trouble."

"Nonsense!" Li Rouyin frowned and clenched the cane in her hand.

If it weren't for the gods, she would have really hit him with a stick.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and said nothing more.

"It's better that you don't need the dead souls, so that I won't be able to complete my mission if someone from Huadeng comes next month. Hmm!" Before she finished speaking, Li Rouyin's delicate body trembled.

She had just stood up, but now she knelt down again, bowed her head and said, "Master, please calm down. I didn't say anything wrong."

Lu Ran frowned.

Someone from Huadeng?
A business trip?

Gods and lanterns also need dead souls. Yes, that's right! Which of these gods doesn't need dead souls?

Lu Ran's expression became increasingly gloomy.

The god guarding the Demon Cave and Bamboo Sea is none other than Lord Hua Lantern!

So, the God Wangquan can live in the bamboo sea by making a deal with the God Huadeng?

Or he made deals with multiple gods.

Does Li Rouyin have to keep paying tribute?
"Lu Ran, let's go." Li Rouyin said softly, her face turned even paler. She stood up, lowered her head, and stepped back.

Lu Ran clasped his hands together and bowed to Lord Wangquan.

The two of them left the Hall of Rebirth. Li Rouyin remained silent, tapping the ground with her bamboo stick as she returned to her house.

Lu Ran followed behind her and whispered, "Are you still going to pay protection fees to the Huadeng faction?"

"Stop talking." Li Rouyin stopped him, looking very unhappy.

If it weren't for the fact that the appetite of the god Hua Lantern was growing, Li Rouyin would not have been under increasing pressure and distressed, and she would not have accidentally said this.

For Li Rouyin, if Lu Ran ate two fewer strings of copper coins today, it would really allow her to breathe a little longer.

It's not easy for the god Wangquan to still live in this world.

There is a price to pay!

The two of them returned to the second floor of the house in silence.

Li Rouyin took a small string of copper coins from the corner of the screen and took out one of them: "Here."

"Thank you." Lu Ran took it and couldn't help saying, "Lord Wangquan knows the world beyond the Ruins of Gods, why don't you go there instead of being bullied here."

"Lu Ran!" Li Rouyin picked up the cane and slammed it on the ground.

Lu Ran shut his mouth.

He was indeed complaining.

Lu Ran felt furious when he thought of the Huadeng believers kicking open the gate of Youhuang Ferry and acting bossy in front of Li Rouyin.

Lu Ran and Li Rouyin can be considered friends, not to mention that she is the wife of General Qin of the Ran Clan.

But in the final analysis, it was because Lu Ran hated the hypocritical gods!

And Lu Ran said this for another purpose: he wanted to find out from the side the situation between Lord Wangquan and the gods.

Unfortunately, Li Rouyin didn't want to say anything more.

For a god, paying tribute to other gods in order to seek a night of peace is indeed an extremely humiliating thing.

Lord Wangquan must have his reasons for not leaving this place.

Yes, she couldn't leave either.

The god Forgotten Spring may seem to be in a safe place, but in fact it is a prison. If she dares to make the slightest move, she will be killed by other gods.
"Sorry, I'm rude again." A soft whisper came into my ears.

"It's okay, I was just being nosy."

"Lu Ran, there is something." Li Rouyin raised her empty eyes and looked into Lu Ran's eyes.

"what's up?"

"My brother Hao Tian, ​​do you still remember?"

"Of course, how is he now? What is his strength level?" Lu Ran asked.

Li Rouyin whispered, "He also went on a pilgrimage. There has been no news from him for a long, long time. He should have gone to the Ruins of the Gods."

Lu Ran: “.”

Again?

Are you an NPC?
As soon as I get next to you, you give me a task, right?
and many more!

Lu Ran suddenly realized something and asked, "When was your brother called to go on the pilgrimage?"

Although Li Rouyin was a little confused, she still answered, "In the middle of winter last year." Lu Ran's heart sank.

The Jingting Mountain sect was destroyed by the Ranmen and other forces in October last year.

Dong Ting's disciple Hao Tian was summoned by the God to go on a pilgrimage in November.
The answer seems to be very obvious, Hao Tian came in to fill in the position!

Lu Ran suddenly had a feeling that "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

However, he would not blame himself too much.

The culprits for all this suffering are the gods and demons!

Not Lu Ran!

Back then at the Misty Rain Lake, Lu Ran would never allow Jingting Mountain to invade Qianzhou Alliance because he was afraid that Hao Tian would be involved.

"Lu Ran, what's wrong with you?" Li Rouyin raised her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if revealing her inner thoughts.

"I will try my best to find Hao Tian." Lu Ran said in a deep voice.

"Really?" Li Rouyin looked surprised.

Her fingers on the string of small coins had already grasped the second copper coin.

She knew Lu Ran clearly.

Greedy and greedy for money!

Li Rouyin certainly knew what she should pay, but she didn't expect that Lu Ran would agree directly?

"Well, I already have your husband under my command, so your brother doesn't matter." Lu Ran played with the copper coins in his hand.

There is no sculpture of the god Wangquan in his sculpture garden.

If Lu Ran could control Qin Yanzhi and Hao Tian, ​​he would naturally be able to control Li Rouyin as well.

This is the only disciple of the Wangquan sect!

To a certain extent, she can represent Wangquan himself, and perhaps the contract signed between the god and the man is also a contract of inheritance.

This also means that Lu Ran will have one more god under his command!

"Thank you, Lu Ran." Li Rouyin said gratefully, and took out an ancient copper coin and handed it to Lu Ran, "Thank you so much."

Lu Ran did not pretend to refuse.

He took another coin for the afterlife. Including the one on Deng Yuxiang's wrist, he now had three coins for the afterlife in his hand.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"You...you should be careful and stay safe." Li Rouyin said in a low voice.

"Haha." Lu Ran laughed.

They had known each other for such a long time and had met several times, but this was the first time Li Rouyin cared about him.

"Don't you have anything you want to say to Qin Yanzhi? I can help you pass on the message."

"He didn't ask you to tell him to say anything, so I won't tell him anything either!" Li Rouyin suddenly tapped her cane and turned to walk towards the bamboo table.

Lu Ran had a strange expression.

Still being arrogant?

"Who said no?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.

"Ah!" Li Rouyin suddenly cried out, her steps became panic, and she fell forward.

Lu Ran: “.”

Qin Yanzhi is quite powerful.

Can a powerful person at the initial stage of the Sea Realm be thrown to the ground with one hand?

When they met, Lu Ran had already roughly figured out Li Rouyin's background. She was worthy of being the only disciple of the god. She had always been by the god's side, so her cultivation speed was very fast!
Li Rouyin held the cane in her hand and stood on the ground in a hurry: "What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything." Lu Ran put one hand into his pocket.

Li Rouyin:?

She turned her head abruptly, bit her lower lip, and stared at Lu Ran with dissatisfaction.

Lu Ran took out a small bamboo sculpture from his pocket.

It is only the size of a thumb, but the carving is extremely delicate!
Unfortunately, Li Rouyin couldn't appreciate it, and it was unknown whether she could figure out Qin Nianzhi's superb skills.

"After arriving at Shenxu, he didn't just wander around aimlessly. He also learned a craft." Lu Ran handed over the small bamboo sculpture. "He asked me to give this to you."

"What?" Li Rouyin was a little curious. She reached out to take it and felt it carefully.

Lu Ran looked at the small statue in her hand and smiled, "It's a girl, very beautiful.

I just don’t know who this girl is.”

A blush quickly appeared on Li Rouyin's pale face: "You...you should leave now, go to Shenxu and help me take care of him.

By the way, don’t forget to help me find Hao Tian.”

"Haha." Lu Ran laughed in silence.

Poor Brother Hao.

It was in the "Notes" column of my sister's task.
"Alright." Lu Ran held two copper coins in his hand. "You really don't have anything to say? I'm really leaving now!"

Li Rouyin was still a little embarrassed, but suddenly her expression became serious and she froze in place.

After a few seconds, she turned to face Lu Ran: "Lord Wangquan said that he looks forward to your next visit."

Lu Ran was a little surprised.

God who is high above, are you looking forward to my visit again?
Lu Ran thought about it and replied in a deep voice: "Yes!"

After saying goodbye again, Lu Ran hid his figure and left quickly.

Li Rouyin sat back on the bamboo chair by the window, no longer looking as lonely as before.

She held the small bamboo statue in one hand, and stretched out her green fingers to gently stroke the face of the bamboo sculpture.

again and again.

Just as a faint smile appeared on her face, her expression suddenly froze.

"Clap!"

The small bamboo sculpture fell to the ground.

“Ugh!” Li Rouyin covered her forehead with both hands, her expression extremely painful, and kept apologizing, “Yes, I’m sorry! Master Wangquan, I’m sorry.”
