Summit of the Old Gods

Chapter 221: 199 Wronged Fairy


The next morning, at Rain Alley City station.

Outside the exit, Lu Ran stood beside a van, chatting leisurely with Deng and Chang.

"So you mean, every even-numbered month, you and Sergeant Jiang go on patrol?" Deng Yutang leaned against the van, his arms crossed in front of him.

"Yep," Lu Ran nodded, "you guys shouldn't have any problems, right?"

"Of course not!" Deng Yutang decisively nodded. "Besides, we also have Moon Gazer as the team leader from the River Realm!

Just focus on Heavenly Pride with Sergeant Jiang and don't worry about things here."

The invading Evil Demons mostly had strength between the Mist and Stream Realm, and even at this time, their overall strength had only risen to mostly Stream Realm.

And Deng, Tian, and Chang had already reached Stream Realm·Fifth Rank!

If they encountered higher-ranked Evil Demons from the River Realm, the Moon Gazers would naturally request support from the patrol team.

"Ah..." A sigh came from beside him.

Compared to the spirited Deng Yutang, Chang Ying felt a sense of loss.

She squatted beside Lu Ran's feet, her hands cradling her cheeks, sighing deeply.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran kicked the girl's shoe lightly.

Chang Ying pouted, "If only I were also at the River Realm, I could follow behind you and take pictures."

Lu Ran looked down at the girl, sighing internally.

For nearly forty years, Stream Realm·Fifth Rank had trapped many heroes.

Chang Ying, being a fourth-class Divine Believer, was quite talented, definitely more so than followers of the Six-class God·Bi Wu like Sun Zhengfang.

But the "sudden enlightenment" she needed was unpredictable.

"Try not to be so carefree every day," Lu Ran advised, "and seek your own insights."

"I am not carefree," Chang Ying retorted sulkily, "look how worried I am."

Lu Ran bent down and patted Chang Ying's head, "My sudden enlightenment was based on my feelings for my hometown..."

Chang Ying looked up at Lu Ran with wide eyes, listening intently to Master Ran's teachings.

Beside them, Deng Yutang also listened quietly with a serious expression.

On the van, Jiang Ruyi suddenly raised a finger to her lips, signaling Tian Tian beside her to be quiet.

Tian Tian instantly became more engrossed in what Lu Ran was saying.

After a long while, Lu Ran finished imparting his valuable experiences.

He added, "Everyone's growth experiences are different; my insights can be a reference for you but don't take them as the absolute truth.

You must walk your own path."

"Brother Lu," Deng Yutang spoke solemnly, clasping his fists in an ancient manner, "I've learned a lot!"

"Don't mention it," Lu Ran replied with a smile.

Lu Ran naturally hoped his friends would advance in rank quickly.

They were not only his friends but also his comrades.

As they shared more life-or-death experiences and their bonds deepened, they could potentially become his followers in the future.

"Thanks, Ran!" Chang Ying still squatted beside Lu Ran's legs, gently bumping against his leg with her shoulder.

"It might be the right answer," Tian Tian whispered softly.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi glanced at the young girl beside her.

Tian Tian held Jiang Ruyi's hand, playing with the Goddess's slender, pale fingers:

"We do have many differences, but there's also one thing we share."

"Right." Jiang Ruyi nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed.

Everyone here was born in Rain Alley and still lived in Rain Alley.

Maybe those who had left all harbored a question: what are you still holding on for?

"We've reached the station, let's get off," Deng Yutang's voice came from outside the vehicle.

A train arrived, but only a few passengers alighted.

One particularly striking figure stood out completely from the other disembarking passengers.

First and foremost, people would notice the huge hammer she carried!

The long-handled war hammer was taller than a person, at least two meters long.

It was clearly made of black luminous stone, completely black with deep purple patterns on it, odd yet beautiful.

"Lu Ran!"

Her sweet face matched her sweet voice.

The gloomy Rain Alley City seemed to brighten up.

However, Lu Ran knew well what kind of fierce heart lurked beneath that beautiful exterior.

"Got a new weapon?" Lu Ran looked up slightly and greeted her.

"No, this is the one I lost at Black Grave Mound, the soldiers helped me find it!" Si Xianxian said cheerfully.

"Congratulations!" Lu Ran sincerely congratulated her.

Regaining what was lost was indeed a good omen!

Weapons, for some believers, were quite significant.

To give an example, if Lu Ran lost his Silent Night Blade and had to buy another black luminous stone blade to replace it, could it?

Certainly not!

Lu Ran had been with the Silent Night Blade for so long, investing a lot of effort in it and advancing toward becoming a Divine Weapon!

If the Silent Night Blade was lost, Lu Ran would be devastated...

"Thanks~" Si Xianxian smiled sweetly, clearly in a very good mood.

She didn't look at the three people outside the van but turned to peer inside through the open door.

Jiang Ruyi didn't put on airs, this being Lu Ran's friend after all.

She stepped down from the van, drawing admiring tsk-tsks from Si Xianxian.

"Tsk-tsk~" Si Xianxian's eyes shone as she examined the girl in a white dress, "Not bad, Lu Ran!

I told you, the person you've been thinking about all this time must be some divine being.

Now I see, I understand."

Lu Ran: "..."

Si Xianxian took a step forward and extended her hand: "Si Xianxian."

Jiang Ruyi, graceful and poised, shook hands with her: "Jiang Ruyi."

"Tsk~" Si Xianxian turned to Lu Ran, her lips curling slightly, "Her voice is also very pleasant!"

Lu Ran helplessly said, "Mind your manners, you're already judging her the moment you meet."

This arrogance was undisguised.

Jiang Ruyi joked, "If you upset me, we won't take you out to play."

"Hmm?" Si Xianxian looked at Jiang Ruyi, "You knew already?"

Jiang Ruyi nodded gently, "Lu Ran told me a lot."

Si Xianxian suddenly turned to Lu Ran, her eyebrows rising: "Spilling my secrets, huh?"

Her demeanor made Deng Yutang tense up and Chang Ying a bit uneasy.

Fierce Heavenly believers were notoriously infamous.

Moreover, they had teamed up with Si Xianxian before and had seen her explosive output and fierce temperament firsthand.

Yet Lu Ran seemed unaffected by any threat, smiling, "Aren't you trying to appease her? Go ahead."

Si Xianxian was slightly upset, "I didn't offend her, why appease?"

Lu Ran shrugged, "Trust yourself, you're bound to make a mistake; might as well get ahead of it."

Si Xianxian: ? ? ?

Jiang Ruyi chuckled and glanced at Lu Ran, whispering, "Let's talk in the van."

"Hmm..." Si Xianxian watched Jiang Ruyi's retreating figure as she boarded the van, her mind whirring.

Truly a divine and gentle beauty.

No wonder Lu Ran stayed chaste, not even willing to accompany me to an amusement park.

"What are you dawdling for, get on the van!" Lu Ran approached Si Xianxian.

Si Xianxian lowered her voice, whispering, "I have a feeling!"

"Hmm?"

"Wherever I want to go in the future, I'll be able to go~"

Lu Ran looked puzzled, "Why?"

Si Xianxian grinned, "I feel like she's easier to coax than you are.

Once I win her over, you'll just be a little minion taking orders~"

Lu Ran: "..."

"Hehe~" Si Xianxian patted Lu Ran's shoulder and stepped onto the van.

At that moment, her gaze towards Jiang Ruyi resembled someone looking at a plane ticket to anywhere in the country.

As a powerful martial artist, Jiang Ruyi naturally felt the intense gaze of the young girl.

Her expression became slightly awkward as she found a topic: "What realm of power is Sister Xian?"

"I'm not much older than you, just call me Xianxian," Si Xianxian casually placed the huge hammer on the floor.

Jiang Ruyi thought for a moment, then said, "Perhaps I should call you Sister Xian'er."

"That works too." Si Xianxian sat in the front row, looking back, "Following what Lu Ran calls me is also fine~"

"What realm are you at now?" Lu Ran sat down beside Si Xianxian, also curious.

Aside from him, no one else dared sit there.

Naturally, it was best for Lu Ran to be close, always keeping this explosive barrel under control.

"River Realm Third Rank," Si Xianxian replied offhandedly.

"Did you advance?"

"Advanced a while ago! Right after we returned from North Wind City."

Speaking, Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran, "I owe you credit for that!"

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow.

Si Xianxian smiled, "Traveling made me feel happy! The moment I felt joyful, I advanced."

Lu Ran laughed outright, "For the sake of fun, you really can spin a yarn!"

From behind, Jiang Ruyi's voice carried forward, "Have you mastered the Divine Technique·Thousand Miles of Barren Land?"

Fierce Heavenly Divine Skill·Thousand Miles of Barren Land: Fierce Heavenly believers can throw a blazing hammer into the sky.

Targets illuminated by its fiery glow would suffer continuous burns.

Once this technique advances to Jiang level, it becomes even more formidable!

The blazing hammer could even alter the environment of a region, drying up rivers and scorching the earth!

Undoubtedly, Si Xianxian was a powerful weapon!

And one with extremely high potential and capability.

Lu Ran grew even more eager to bring her into the Ran Sect.

This way, he would gain a powerful ally, and she could avoid the drastic mood swings of the gods.

Saving her from uttering things like "live one day less for each day lived."

From another perspective, Si Xianxian having such thoughts clearly understood what her end would be.

"I have," Si Xianxian responded immediately, "but this technique drains a lot of Divine Power and energy, and can't be used as a regular combat method.

Since mastering it, I've only used it once and not again."

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, "Perfect, it'd allow you to vent all that pent-up energy, saving you from exploding at the slightest touch."

Si Xianxian immediately objected, her eyes fiery as she looked at Lu Ran.

From behind, Jiang Ruyi's voice followed up on what Lu Ran said, "Once we enter the buffer zone, we won't have to fear the dark environment or being ambushed by the Evil Dog Clan."

Si Xianxian: "..."

After a few seconds, Si Xianxian whispered, "Alright, then I'll use it."

Lu Ran was astonished, his eyes wide as he looked at Si Xianxian, "How badly do you want to go out and have fun?"

Si Xianxian said aggrievedly, "Shut up."

I'm just trying to make your girlfriend happy!
