[Brother?]

[Yuanxi?]

[I talked to Sister Yiren, she wants to choose the Sky Phoenix, is that okay?]

[Of course it's okay.]

[Great, I'll bring Sister Yiren to see you now.] Qiao Yuansi said excitedly.

On the bed, Lu Ran opened his eyes, his expression slightly odd.

A sword cultivator who kills enemies with ease, wants to switch to a more supportive role as a healer? However, the Second-class God·Tianluan is indeed the top-ranking god that Lu Ran could offer.

Lu Ran got out of bed, sighing at the decisive nature of Sword One's disciple.

So decisive, isn't it?

In less than half an hour since he parted with little Yuanxi, there was already a result.

Lu Ran walked into the hall, sat down on the Taishi Chair, waiting for Yiren's visit.

Soon, two figures, one tall and one short, emerged from the tunnel and stepped into the hall.

The 168 cm little Yuanxi turned out to be the relatively shorter one...

"Brother!" With the help of the magic artifact, Qiao Yuansi located Lu Ran and quickly walked forward holding Guan Yiren's arm.

Just as they reached the center of the hall, Guan Yiren stopped: "Master Lu."

"When there are people around, give me a little face." Lu Ran got up and smiled, "In private, you can just call me by my name as before."

"Hehe~" Qiao Yuansi chuckled.

Guan Yiren pursed her lips; without Qiao Yuansi's special ability, it would be difficult to coexist harmoniously with a powerful creature.

"Decided on the Sky Phoenix?" Lu Ran came up to Guan Yiren, looking into her signature willow-leaf eyes.

The woman's overall demeanor was strikingly similar to that of Leng Xushuang, and in terms of appearance, both were equally stunning.

Looking at her, Lu Ran couldn't help but envy Jiang Ruyi.

She really knows how to pick people, doesn't she?

"Decided." Guan Yiren slightly lowered her head, her voice light yet resolute.

"Could you tell me why?"

Guan Yiren answered without hesitation: "The offensive power of the Sky Phoenix sect may be somewhat lacking, but its speed is quite brisk, making it easier for me to adapt.

The sect's defense, support, and control skills are decent, and its healing is top-notch."

Qiao Yuansi added: "It can also share life force with others~"

As a Second-class God, the Sky Phoenix possesses two major skills.

The skill suitable for the River Realm is called Luan Clan Holy Light, which can summon a giant Sky Phoenix to appear, emitting a bright and radiant light, healing all creatures and nourishing the mind.

The skill suitable for the Sea Realm is called Luan Life.

This skill is extraordinary!

A Sky Phoenix disciple can share life force with a chosen target!

Note that it says "chosen target," not limited to allied units.

If you connect with an ally, naturally you share life force, bearing damage results together.

If you activate this major skill and connect with an enemy, you can even sap the enemy's life force by harming yourself!

Damage yourself by eight hundred, harm the enemy by eight hundred!

Looking at the woman with lowered eyes, Lu Ran said: "The Luan Life method is extremely powerful. Currently, the Ran Sect slays gods and kills demons, following the righteous path.

But in the future, when facing formidable enemies, we might have to take unconventional routes..."

Guan Yiren unusually interrupted: "I joined the sect later, but have known Yuanxi and the sect leader for a while, Yuanxi knows my nature well and can vouch for me.

Yiren is willing to shoulder this responsibility.

To do what she can for the Ran Sect and the Human Clan."

Qiao Yuansi's expression changed, her smile fading.

In her heart, the Divine Technique·Luan Life was the magical treasure ensuring Guan Yiren's safety.

But from their conversation, Qiao Yuansi could hear that both were treating this life-sharing method as an alternative output skill.

"Sister Yiren..." Qiao Yuansi felt a bit anxious.

Guan Yiren naturally lowered her hand, gently holding Qiao Yuansi's small hand.

Children from prestigious families, with rigorous family teachings, often carry a special sense of mission.

The former Guan Yiren only thought Holy Spirit Mountain to be filthy to the extreme.

Under the dark rule of gods and demons, she knew she was powerless to change anything, so she chose self-exile.

But now, having met Lu Ran, everything was different.

Hope, capital, companions.

The existence of Lu Ran completely changed her situation, making her want to do something.

Besides family influences, Guan Yiren had another identity—Da Xia's genius.

Although the second session of "Heavenly Pride" was halted midway, she had been selected among the top hundred, with no water in her status.

Rigorous selection by Da Xia!

"Currently, the tasks of the Ran Sect are being executed well, everything in order." Lu Ran reassured, "In the future, we will advance steadily, crushing enemies with a strong stance."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted little Yuanxi's head: "Try to keep Luan Life as a healing skill."

Lu Ran's words somewhat assured Qiao Yuansi.

Her brother is a man of his word, without a doubt.

Sister Yiren is the same; having chosen the Sky Phoenix, she wouldn't change her decision.

"Come, I'll help you sign the Inheritance Contract." Lu Ran's hand, which was on little Yuanxi's head, raised up again, hovering over Guan Yiren's head.

A large shadow emerged from his body.

The leader of the eight heavenly demons—Sky Phoenix!

The phoenix appeared entirely snow-white, graceful, its long neck possessing a beautiful arc.

Exuding an air of noble purity.

Unfortunately, the divine remnant shadow was shrouded in mist, making it difficult for others to see clearly.

Lu Ran performed everything effortlessly, signing the contract with the divine remnant shadow and Guan Yiren, then protected her and tore up the master-servant contract with the Divine Sword Sword One.

Moments later, Guan Yiren's body began to tremble.

Lu Ran explained: "I just activated the Divine Sculpture of the Sky Phoenix; it's undergoing an upgrade, a precious process that can quickly deepen your fusion with the Divine Sculpture."

"Yes... yes." Guan Yiren kept her head very low, a faint blush rising on her exquisite fair face.

The world was shrouded in mist.

But Guan Yiren knew very well that she was deceiving herself.

Her awkward embarrassment was surely seen by Lu Ran.

Fortunately, Lu Ran did not embarrass her. In the mist, the young man's voice came again, gentle and deep:

"Go back and cultivate."

"Yes." Guan Yiren almost fled in panic, quickly leaving with Qiao Yuansi.

Lu Ran watched her graceful figure with a smile and suddenly felt that Guan Yiren was quite suitable for the Sky Phoenix.

The Sky Phoenix is born graceful and charming.

Guan Yiren is not lacking either~

Calm like a likable flower reflecting on the water, graceful like weak willows caressed by the wind.

Well~ Now the four close guards of Ran Sect's Lady are complete.

Two flowers, one bird, and one beast!

Mei Xuan Shuang, Lotus Tian Tian.

Colt Liu Huo, Luan Yiren.

Flowers, birds, and beasts, quite easy to remember?

Speaking of which, Xiao Yuansi's Oxhead and Horseface dual guards still lack a Horseface...

Difficult indeed.

[Yiren.]

[Lu... Ran?] In the mind, Guan Yiren's voice came through.

[Do you have any news about Wang Ling?] Lu Ran inquired.

Wang Ling, the last member of Qiao Yuansi's team.

[I only know he was called by Qiang Xiu to worship, and since then, there has been no news of him.]

[Hmm.] Lu Ran sighed inwardly.

Guan Yiren was slightly moved, sensing Lu Ran's intention, and immediately communicated a bit with Qiao Yuansi.

A moment later, Lu Ran received a voice transmission from Xiao Yuansi: [Brother?]

[What's up?]

[Should we look for Skeleton?]

Hearing this nickname again, past memories surfaced, and Lu Ran couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

[You can send a message in my name to ask him, or go to the ancient city to find him!] Qiao Yuansi promptly suggested.

Go to the ancient city under Qiang Xiu's domain to find the person?

Lu Ran sat back into the Taishi Chair, silent.

He had always been resistant to going to the ancient city, but the times have changed...

Lu Ran mused for a moment, and the face of the Evil Shadow Guardian appeared in his mind.

Now she had turned into an evil dog wearing a wolf's skin, possessing instant teleportation and invisibility skills.

Just half an hour ago, Yan Shuangzi had signed a master-servant contract with the Evil God·Ghostly Eyes Ghost as a Fake God.

Equipped with a pair of eyes to enchant the masses.

Letting her investigate and gather some intelligence seemed quite reliable.

[Brother, are you listening? If Skeleton joins Ran Sect, that would be amazing! Our team would be neat... uh, Skeleton is awesome!] Qiao Yuansi highly recommended.

Back then, when she was dragged into Ran Sect by Lu Ran, she only dared to find Niu Zhengzheng, avoiding Guan Wang.

All because Ran Sect's strength was insufficient.

Now Qiao Yuansi's attitude has made a 180-degree turn.

Strength,

is the solution to all challenges!

[Brother~] Qiao Yuansi started to whine, switching from a one-character to a two-character address.

The annoying voice made Lu Ran's scalp tingle!

[Alright, alright, I'll investigate first.] Lu Ran replied helplessly.

[Great~ Brother is the best!] Xiao Yuansi cheered, hoping his team could reunite.

The team of four were life-and-death comrades, deeply loyal, knowing each other well.

With Wang Ling's comprehensive qualities, also a carefully selected Da Xia genius, categorized as a Heavenly Pride!

Of course, Qiao Yuansi wanted such a talented person to assist her brother.

Deep down, she didn't want separation, whether it was family or friends, those who appeared in her life, she didn't want to see any figure gradually fading away...

Used to parting.

Very much disliked.

Guan Yiren's appearance opened up Qiao Yuansi's long-sealed, suppressed heart.

The rapid enhancement of Lu Ran and Ran Sect's strength also provided soil for her "recklessness".

Finally, Qiao Yuansi acted recklessly once, using her skills of whining and pestering.

Sure enough!

He agreed.

Qiao Yuansi secretly rejoiced, fantasizing about the team's reunion.

But this was just a small step!

Her greater dream was her mom, brother, and herself...

Unintentionally, it seemed something had loosened.

In the tunnel leading to the Underground City, Qiao Yuansi suddenly stopped, her body stiffened.

At the same time, in Tianya Residence, Lu Ran summoned an evil demon remnant shadow.

"Master." Yan Shuangzi bowed respectfully.

"Piece the flesh body together." Lu Ran pondered, "In a while, I will return to the human world to report the results to Immortal Sheep, you come with me to execute a task."

"Yes!" Yan Shuangzi immediately crafted a henchman flesh body.

Lu Ran had another thought, connecting mentally with the Big Nightmare.

Soon, energy surged from his eyes, Lu Ran raised his hand and caught the Magical Treasure·Smoke Green Gauze.

"Put it on, hide your aura."

"Yes."
