As the days went by.

Lu Ran had grown accustomed to the days living in the human world and battling in the heavenly realm.

No matter how high his power and realm became, he couldn't escape the core of being human. Every time he returned to the human world, he felt a deep sense of relaxation and joy.

The sun, moon, stars; frost, rain, and snow.

The bustling noise on the streets, the lively atmosphere in the narrow alleys.

Occasionally, Lu Ran would conceal his presence, standing quietly in the sky above the city, silently observing the myriad forms of life.

Previously, he would never have paused to watch the slight scrape of two vehicles on the street, but now he found himself curiously looking on for a while.

A society that promotes public order, morality, and legal systems is indeed so beautiful...

Unlike his own world, simple yet cruel.

Only the stark naked dynamics of strength and weakness, nobility and inferiority, life and death remain.

Of course, these are just minor interludes; the focus of Lu Ran's life still rests on the heavenly realm battlefield.

His duels with Yan Chou had lessened; under his mother's guidance, they exchanged insights and shared combat experiences more.

Beyond interactions with Yan Chou, Lu Ran would roam various divine mountains, fighting alongside soldiers of different styles, and facing off against the Faceless Jade Venerable.

Yes... every day is a battle of life and death.

This, to some extent, eased the anxiety within Lu Ran.

To fight a life-and-death battle with Da Xia's most elite first-class Evil God, to say he wasn't anxious would be pure stubbornness.

As time reached the end of February, on this night, Lu Ran retreated from the heavenly realm battlefield, full of cold killing intent, back to the human world in Jade Lonely City.

The ancient city beneath the Divine Sculpture of Xian Mo had already become Lu Ran's new home.

Speaking of it, most ancient cities within Da Xia had changed their names with the advent of Ran Sect's god.

But Jade Lonely City did not change.

It seems Fairy Jiang was pleased with the name of this ancient city.

Or perhaps she wanted to remind someone to whom this ancient city once belonged divinely, and what the outcome of that god was.

Sliced to pieces by their own hands, crushed to a scattering of bones and soul...

Jiang Ruyi did name her residence. Under her order, the plaque above the grand mansion's entrance now reads "Lu Mansion".

This deep courtyard environment is serene, with an octagonal pavilion in the rear garden, very peaceful.

Over the past month, Lu Ran often spent solitary time within the pavilion.

Sometimes watching the clouds overhead, sometimes gazing at her standing tall.

Gradually dissipating all his killing intent.

"You're back." A woman's voice came from outside the pavilion.

As cold and clear as the moonlight falling inside the pavilion.

Lu Ran turned his head to look, naturally having long sensed someone's approach, he sees that unparalleled beauty and breaks into a smile.

Even with the blood mask covering his face, it couldn't hide his gentle smiling eyes.

Jiang Ruyi's expression softened as well.

The youth under the moonlight compared to the boy in his memories has undergone an overwhelming transformation, long gone are the traces of naivety.

Yet his brow line remains unchanged.

The look in his eyes at her seems never to have changed.

Jiang Ruyi walked slowly into the pavilion and sat on the bench beside him, gently leaning her body against his shoulder: "Tired?"

Lu Ran shook his head.

Jiang Ruyi slightly tilted her head, resting it on his shoulder, the pavilion fell into silence.

She could sense, as the third day of the third lunar month approached, he became more silent than usual, the time spent alone in the pavilion also extended.

Slowly, she raised her hand, picking up the exquisite blood crystal mask, and gently took it off.

Lu Ran looked somewhat puzzled, turning his head to her.

Only to see her slightly lean forward with a cold yet enchanting face and gently imprint her lips on his.

Oh?

The Goddess's kiss?

Lu Ran couldn't help but blink.

Fairy Jiang was always reserved, rarely took the initiative.

"Shall we... go back?" With his gaze upon her, Jiang Ruyi shifted her eyes away, lowered her lids, her long lashes trembling slightly.

"Alright." Lu Ran took the chance for a princess carry, lowering his head to kiss her delicate lips while striding out of the octagonal pavilion.

With the order from the Fairy, how could one defy?

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, looking at the position of the moon, the moonlight should spill through the windows into the room.

Everything was as Lu Ran expected, within the bedroom, he laid his fiancée on the bed covered in moonlight, intoxicated by her celestial beauty and ivory white ice-smooth and jade-like skin.

A night of silence...

Something to say!

After a spring evening pouring warmth into the hibiscus curtain, Lu Ran held the soft jade warmth, originally wanting to sleep deeply just like this.

An unexpected whisper came from his ear: "The battle with Spiritual Fortune, let me handle it."

Lu Ran immediately opened his eyes.

Somewhat shocked, he looked at the beauty in his arms.

Jiang Ruyi's eyes were very determined, especially as her soul was derived from the God and Demon Residue, naturally bringing a pressure to all beings.

Even speaking softly and in a consultative tone, it was essentially issuing an order.

Every word she said bore the decree of a god.

"Such a tender moment, don't discuss such jinx things, alright?" Lu Ran evaded the main point, slightly lowered his head and kissed her hair.

"You must prepare for the final battle and cannot personally deal with the Spiritual Fortune." Jiang Ruyi's voice was gentle, "I will do it for you."

Lu Ran: "..."

That old fortune-teller is very powerful.

Really powerful!

"No objections, then it's settled." Jiang Ruyi rubbed her cheek against his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"You have certain disadvantages when facing the Spiritual Fortune, making it difficult to exert your full power," Lu Ran said in a deep voice, "You know the fortune-telling flag in his hand, that is the Fourth Rank Magical Artifact·Heaven's Fate Flag.

It can transfer all negative effects suffered by the Master of Magical Artifact."

Xian Mo is famous for all kinds of spells, whether output skills or control skills, they are often accompanied by extremely powerful negative effects.

Such as lightning paralysis, frost freeze, or fiery burns.

Once these effects are applied to the Spiritual Fortune, he only needs to wave the Heaven's Fate Flag, and everything will be transferred away.

In a 1V1 life-and-death battlefield, the Spiritual Fortune cannot transfer these "dirty things" to others, and they will inevitably fall on Jiang Ruyi!

Equating to letting her suffer backlash.

Never doubt the capabilities of a top-level magical artifact!

Not to mention natural elements like ice, fire, thunder, even the curses of the Qian Bone Sect, and the poisons of the Poison Bee Sect can be transferred away by the Heaven's Fate Flag.

Lu Ran was even worried that the Spiritual Fortune would pre-arrange with Qian Gu and Poison Bee, directly stepping into battle with a body of "ailments."

At the moment the battle starts, transferring all the ailments to the opponent.

With the Spiritual Fortune's nature, he would absolutely do such a thing!

Therefore, when battling that dog, Purification Skill is a must.

Because of this, Lu Ran appointed Wind Emperor·He Qifeng to go into battle.

"I also have a top-level Magical Artifact·Jade Ghost Talisman." Jiang Ruyi was indifferent to negative effects.

The so-called Jade Ghost Talisman is also known as four white jade tokens and two black jade tokens.

Her calm voice made Lu Ran somewhat helpless, "You know better than me that after I seized those four white jade tokens of the Jade Talisman, techniques of ice, fire, thunder, and sand can hardly hurt me anymore."

The Jade Talisman Formation and Ghost Talisman Formation can only absorb the ice, fire, thunder, and sand within their sect.

Just like the Command Flag of the Wusheng Sect can only absorb the output of wind, fire, and thunder elements within its sect.

But the Fourth-tier Magical Artifact·Jade Ghost Talisman is not limited by any sect's skills and can absorb all the elemental outputs of ice, fire, thunder, and sand within its ability range.

In other words, Jiang Ruyi's magic resistance in these four attributes is almost maxed out!

Would she care about being shocked numb, or frozen stiff?

No! She is not even afraid of genuine output!

"Negative effects... what about curses, and poison?" Before Lu Ran could finish speaking, he felt emptiness in his arms.

"Hoo~"

Jiang Ruyi hadn't left, her ethereal figure reclined beside Lu Ran, resting her head on his shoulder.

Voidification!

Yes, there is more than one way to handle a problem.

Fairy Jiang doesn't need purification because she can voidify.

The toxins injected by Poison Bee-Poison Flower into the target's body and nerves, the curses etched by Thousand Bones-White Bone Staff into the target's bones, all rely on the existence of a physical body in the enemy.

Jiang Ruyi is completely unaffected by this.

"Hand."

"Ah." Lu Ran realized his arm had gone through her body, and immediately lifted it.

Then, the warm fragrant and soft jade with substance returned to his embrace.

Lu Ran's mind raced, and he said, "The Spiritual Fortune also has the Magic Bell, which is also a top-level magical artifact! You don't have spirit defense techniques, your Ice Heart Bracelet is only Second Rank, it can't withstand such illusions."

The Fourth-tier Magical Artifact·Thousand Autumn Bell can draw the target into the Illusion Realm of Fate's Reincarnation.

Within it, the target will experience cycle after cycle of years, enduring various tragic fates. In the outside world, a moment could mean hundreds or thousands of years in the illusion realm.

After the affected person returns, there will undoubtedly be a total disconnect from the battlefield in terms of mental state and mentality!

They may be even more drastically affected, like Zhuang Zhou's butterfly dream, unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

The top-level Divine Weapons of All Gods have such terrifying effects!

"I am originally a complete god in the Divine Position, and my mental defense is not poor," Jiang Ruyi casually said, "Moreover, Sister Xian'er has the Bi He Pouch, I can borrow it to guard my mind."

"Ruyi..." Lu Ran wanted to say something when a slender hand suddenly reached out.

She raised a finger, pressing it against his lips.

Lu Ran's eyes slightly widened.

The beauty in his arms propped herself up, actually straddling him.

She looked down at him, her waterfall-like hair cascading down like soft silk, shrouding everything outside.

At this moment, in Lu Ran's sight, only a stunningly alluring face remained.

"Lu Ran, I always believe you will succeed, firmly believe we will have an incredibly long life together."

"Mm." Lu Ran nodded heavily.

Regarding this, he was also convinced beyond doubt.

Jiang Ruyi removed the slender jade finger from his lips, softly saying, "I don't want to recall this battle in our long years ahead, regretting why I didn't join the battlefield for you."

Lu Ran opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, that breathtaking face came slowly closer in his view.

Their eyes met, only inches apart.

Her gaze was serious, her voice light but resolute: "You hate him so much and cannot fight personally, I will help you eliminate him."

"Mm, okay."
