Chapter 745 New Year’s Eve

Chapter 745 New Year’s Eve
After leaving Tianque Pavilion, Lu Ran went to Jiutian Cliff and the Yinhe Waterfall to practice diligently for two days before preparing to return home.

Before returning to Yunhai Cliff, Lu Ran specially borrowed a bamboo hat and a raincoat from Deng Yuxiang.

After a little thought, Deng Yuxiang understood Lu Ran's intention and couldn't help but give him a sidelong glance.

The Nightmare Guardian was actually spoiling someone. He took off his clothes and hat and handed them to the other person, and held his tattered straw raincoat full of knife marks in his arms.

I don't dislike it, nor do I intend to throw it away.

This is undoubtedly a battle robe!
Since the sect leader didn't dare let his wife and sister see the dress, Deng Yuxiang planned to put it in her own closet and keep it away.

"It smells so good~" Lu Ran put on Deng Yuxiang's large straw raincoat and sniffed the collar.

Especially her hat, which has a faint scent of camellia.

美~
Deng Yuxiang resisted the urge to kick him: "Open the bronze mirror."

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head and looked over.

Deng Yuxiang's voice was cold: "Open Mirror Flower Moon."

"Stingy guy." Lu Ran muttered softly, turned around and used the evil magic of the evil mirror.

Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran's back, recalling how he had just held her clothes and sniffed around.
For the first time ever, she felt her cheeks getting a little hot.

The teleportation mirror stopped at Liyuan Sect and then arrived outside the private courtyard of Elder Lu at Yunhai Cliff.

Deng Yuxiang left immediately, while Lu Ran picked up the treasure gourd and said, "Eying, you've worked hard these past few days. Go back and take a rest."

"Yes."

Lu Ran released Elder Lu and expressed his gratitude before going home.

Yunhai Residence was quiet in the afternoon. When Lu Ran went to the study to store the magic weapons and instruments, he happened to see Fairy Jiang who was practicing in the house.

"You're back." Jiang Ruyi stood up to greet him, her icy face thawing quietly, "This morning, Yuan Xi was still worried, you forgot about today."

The magic swords flew out automatically, with their scabbards attached, and landed on the sword rack on the wall.

Lu Ran casually put his arms around Fairy Jiang's slender waist and leaned over to place the gourd with the Fiery Phoenix pattern on the low desk.

Sniff~
This time, it was Jiang Ruyi's turn to smell the fragrance of the flowers.

Lu Ran froze.

broken!

The fairy's beautiful eyes moved as she looked at Lu Ran gently.

"Well, you're just listening to my excuse." Lu Ran was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "You know what kind of people the Blood Skull Clan are."

Jiang Ruyi raised her hand to undress him.

Lu Ran explained: "The blood skulls were bleeding, and my raincoat was soaked through, blood red. The water flow armor couldn't wash it out, so I borrowed one from the Big Nightmare."

"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi responded softly, and asked casually, "Have the remnants of Jing Ting been completely eradicated?"

"It's over." Lu Ran let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat relieved. "It's finally over."

"It's good that it's over. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Yeah." Lu Ran held her in his arms again, enjoying the rare inner peace.

Jiang Ruyi's body gradually softened, her chin resting on his shoulder, and she whispered, "You are getting better and better."

Lu Ran looked a little strange: "Now, everyone is very respectful when they see me, and they all praise me.

If you are like this, then I will be really arrogant. "

Jiang Ruyi laughed dumbly and explained, "You have been killing in the blood pool for so long, I thought you would be full of anger, but you are much calmer than I thought."

Lu Ran nodded secretly.

It’s worth it that I was hit by the Milky Way Waterfall for several days.

"Is the Blood Skull Evil Technique useful?" Jiang Ruyi asked softly when she saw Lu Ran remained silent.

"It's very useful and suits me very well!" Lu Ran immediately perked up, like a child who got a favorite toy.

Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran with a smile: "Then you will definitely like the gift that Xiao Yuanxi prepared for you."

"Oh?" Lu Ran was quite surprised.

"Go find her in the backyard, see her as soon as possible, and let her feel at ease as soon as possible."

"Okay." Lu Ran flashed away, leaving behind a bloody afterimage.

It was terrifying, but his gentle smile could be seen faintly.

Very contradictory.

Jiang Ruyi raised her hand, and her slender jade fingers gently brushed across the bloody afterimage's cheek.

Under his fingers, the faint outline of blood mist quietly dissipated.

"Heh." Jiang Ruyi shook his head and smiled. It was obvious that he really liked the Blood Skull Evil Sculpture.

Subconscious teleportation, no need for the evil dog's evil magic, Shadow Flash.

Lu Ran casually put on a white robe, came to the west wing in the backyard, and knocked on the door gently.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Who is it?" A puzzled voice of a girl came from inside the house, "I'm coming!"

As footsteps approached, the door appeared on the left and right.

"Brother!" Qiao Yuanxi was full of surprise and gave Lu Ran a big hug, "You still remember to come back!"

"It's the fifteenth, of course I have to go home." Lu Ran tried to make his voice softer.

"Hmph, you have some conscience." Qiao Yuanxi muttered softly, took two steps back, and looked someone up and down, "How come nothing happened to you?"

Lu Ran:?
What a word!

"I was worried about you for nothing." Qiao Yuanxi smiled softly and turned to walk into the house. "Come in."

Lu Ran: “.”

"By the way, brother, I have prepared a birthday present for you~" Qiao Yuanxi remembered something and immediately ran to the bedroom.

Lu Ran's birthday is the seventh day of the first lunar month, but he never celebrates it. He only celebrates it with his sister on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

"Slow down." Lu Ran walked into the hall and sat down at the eight-immortal table.

After a while, Qiao Yuanxi came out with his hands behind his back, and said mysteriously: "Close your eyes first!"

Lu Ran felt helpless and had to cooperate by closing his eyes.

I heard a slight sound and an object was placed on the eight-immortals table.

"Open your eyes!" Qiao Yuanxi's face was full of excitement, and her hands kept waving, "Da Da~"

Lu Ran was very curious. He opened his eyes and looked, then opened his mouth slightly.

A half-face mask?
The lower half of the face can cover the middle of the nose. It is crystal clear and translucent, as if it is made of blood-red crystal.

Strands of blood can be seen floating slowly inside the mask, sometimes gathering into streams, sometimes dispersing into mist.

Weird and beautiful.

"Blood crystal material?" Lu Ran asked in surprise.

"You really know what you're talking about!" Qiao Yuanxi sat at the table, her chin resting on her hand, "We melted two blood crystal daggers to make this one!"

"This..." Lu Ran picked up the blood crystal mask and felt warm in his hand.

Qiao Yuanxi chuckled: "Ten days ago, Jingxian Mountain sheltered a disciple, a rare blood crystal believer!"

God Blood Crystal, ranked eighth.

Like the Tianchen sect, the Xuejing sect is also good at forging weapons.

This faction is naturally particularly friendly to the blood crystal material of the magic cave, and possesses a unique flame that can forge blood crystal material into weapons.

"This is really a decision that goes against our ancestors." Lu Ran looked at the blood crystal mask again and again, unable to let it go.

Qiao Yuanxi smiled and said, "This is Holy Spirit Mountain. How can the gods care about this?"

The fire of the Blood Crystal School is used to forge weapons!

It is not used to create other objects! In the human world, if a Blood Crystal believer dares to do this, then he is simply tired of living.

Qiao Yuanxi whispered, "I wanted to forge a set of blood crystal armor for you, but Sister Ruyi persuaded me not to do so. I don't have that much material, and the actual effect won't be great.

You also have to inject divine power into it, and cover the battle armor with your water armor to protect it in turn."

Not to mention the blood crystal material, even if it was the top-notch Tianchen steel material, when Lu Ran held the Yunhai Knife, he had to inject energy into it and cover it with a layer of divine power.

Otherwise, the Yunhai Sword would easily break in battle.

In comparison, the magical weapon, the Eight Desolations Sword, is much better, as it can release divine power on its own.

Even so, the Eight Desolate Sword might break into pieces when it was bombarded by technical techniques. The thrilling scene that happened during the previous battle with Blood Skull was the best example.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Lu Ran looked at Qiao Yuanxi, "Why did you think of giving me this?"

Qiao Yuanxi held her face with both hands, her smiling eyes curved into beautiful crescents: "Sister Ruyi said that you never clearly stated what kind of stone sculpture you liked.

But on the morning of the first day of the new year, you said that you particularly liked the blood skull!"

Lu Ran nodded slightly.

Qiao Yuanxi: "This dark red blood crystal mask goes really well with the Blood Skull Clan!"

"Indeed." Lu Ran tried to put on the blood crystal mask, covering the lower half of his face.

Qiao Yuanxi tilted his head to look at him, and exclaimed: "He really looks like a villain!"

Lu Ran: “.”

Qiao Yuanxi smiled again and said, "By the way, since you like Xuekuan so much, you must be careful when you see mom next time~
The Sword Sect hates the Blood Skull Clan the most! Don’t let your mother kill you with one sword.”

Lu Ran was wearing a mask on the lower half of his face, and his voice was a little muffled: "I am already at the middle level of the Sea Realm. This time I came back to prepare for a retreat to reach the high level of the Sea Realm.

No matter how powerful my mother is, she can't kill me with one sword, right?"

"How dare you!" Qiao Yuanxi slammed the table in a pretentious manner, "How dare you question the majesty of my mother! Wait until I see my mother again."

As he spoke, Qiao Yuanxi's voice became lower and lower.

The joyful atmosphere in the room disappeared, and the smile on the girl's face gradually faded.

Lu Ran looked at his sister, whose eyes were somewhat dim, and comforted her softly, "We will meet again."

Qiao Yuanxi pursed her lips.

Every time it was my mother’s birthday, no matter how busy she was, I would always celebrate it with her.

And my brother.

That was one of the few times the family got together every year, and it was also the happiest time of the year for Qiao Yuanxi.

But this time, it doesn't work.

My mother is on earth, and I am on the Holy Spirit Mountain.

The Holy Spirit Mountain is so far away from the human world.
"We will meet." Lu Ran said softly, knowing that little Yuanxi missed her mother.

The surging emotions are the best proof.

Lu Ran thought for a moment, took out a bell from his pocket, and coaxed, "Yuan Xi, I also prepared a birthday present for you."

"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi was still immersed in her emotions until she saw Lu Ran half-kneeling at her feet, then she came back to her senses, "Brother?"

"Let me put it on you. It's called the Tianyin Bell. It can protect you and clear away the negative mental states for you."

"Do you want to wear it on your feet?" Qiao Yuanxi looked down at his brother.

Lu Ran paused and scratched his head again: "Well, you can wear it anywhere."

Since Jinque'er wore the magic weapon, Tianyin Bell, on her ankle, Lu Ran still had the inertia of thinking and wanted to do so.

“Hahaha~” Qiao Yuanxi chuckled, and finally broke his trick when he saw Lu Ran’s confused look, “Then you wear it.”

She took off her shoes, and put her tender little white feet on Lu Ran's knees. She looked at his gentle movements, wrapped them with red thread several times, arranged them carefully, and tied a bow.

Qiao Yuanxi kept looking down silently, with ripples in his heart.

He is a powerful mid-level warrior in the sea realm, the Lord of the Burning Gate revered by thousands of people, and a god devoutly worshipped by countless disciples.

But in front of her, he never changed.

His voice came to my ears again: "You still have me, Yuan Xi, I will celebrate your birthday with you."

As he spoke, Lu Ran raised his head: "Besides, we will definitely meet mom again. We will be reunited. I promise."

Qiao Yuanxi pursed her lips, looking at his serious eyes and listening to his gentle tone as always, and her emotions began to surge again.

Her eyes were a little red: "You...get up."

Lu Ran stood up immediately.

Qiao Yuanxi stretched out her arms, her eyes red, and whispered, "Hug me."

"Yeah." Lu Ran took a half step forward and gently rubbed her head.

"call!!"

Suddenly, a violent energy wave spread out.

Lu Ran was stunned and looked down.

Little Yuan Xi in his arms buried his face in his eyes and spoke softly:
"We will be reunited, we will definitely be reunited"
