The Old Gods

Chapter 903 The Bully Maid
Lu Ran and his think tank finalized the next phase of the mission plan, after which everyone took their leave.

As Jiang Ruyi stood up, Lu Ran's heart trembled.

Fortunately, the evil god did not make things difficult for him, and did not even look at him, but went to the bedroom on his own.

Lu Ran felt a little numb.

opportunity?

But who dares to follow?
The maid dares!
The young master's bottom seemed glued to the armchair, looking utterly timid, while the maidservant followed the madam into the bedroom with light steps.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and finally stood up.

Instead of heading to the bedroom, he went to the study on the other side.

Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian, these two best friends, must have a lot to talk about, so it's best if we don't disturb them.

Lu Ran found a way to save face and went to the low table in the study, where he sat down cross-legged.

Soon after, the buzzing in his head intensified.

Xiao Ruyi is really ruthless!
Whether she did it intentionally or not, her own stone sculpture, located in the sculpture garden, led several soldiers who had just participated in the battle, and together they nourished two other stone sculptures.

One is Leng Tianyue, a former subordinate of Yunhai and the successor of Mingchan-Yueling.

One is the Evil Shadow Guardian, who inherited the beauty of the vicious dog, Greedy Wolf.

This situation also shows that the Ranmen decision-making level approved Lu Ran's proposal.

In the next phase, we'll first kill the Nether Toad, then slaughter the Vicious Dog!
Of course, that's the next step. Right now, the two violently trembling stone sculptures, along with the constantly buzzing He Yingcai stone sculpture, are practically going to kill Lu Ran.

At the low table in his study, he rediscovered the feeling of being a student.

He crossed his arms and slumped onto the table.

The difference is that back in school, sleeping at your desk for two classes was about enough, since you get hungry quickly and have to get up and eat no matter how sleepy you are.
Now Lu Ran is no longer sleepy and doesn't need to eat anymore.

Without basic needs, it feels like we're not even human anymore.

"Hmm." Lu Ran pouted, thinking that it was more comfortable to lie on the desk back in the day.

Back then, his deskmate Xiao Ruyi would always poke him with her pen, trying to wake him up. Occasionally, when she couldn't wake him up, she would give up and then thoughtfully drape her school uniform over him.

Lu Ran is now lonely, isolated, and cold.

And I can't sleep.

Leng Tianyue and Yan Shuangzi were both at the second level of the Heavenly Realm, and it took them about two and a half days to advance to the third level.

Only He Yingcai's stone sculpture remains in the sculpture park, still undergoing a grand process of becoming a deity.

Lu Ran had recovered somewhat, and he stood up and stretched languidly, "Ugh~~~"

With a few crisp cracking sounds, Lu Ran relaxed, dangling his arms as he walked to the study door, gazing into the bedroom.

Should we go see her?
If she is resting, will her power be slightly weaker?
Lu Ran dared not hope that the Evil God would be gentle and kind; he only hoped that she could give him some leeway.

Even a fierce tiger has its moments of weakness!

Lu Ran thought to himself as he stepped through the hall and into the bedroom, gradually approaching the screen.

The further I walked, the more I felt something was wrong!
His keen insight is beyond doubt. Just like the thick fog that permeates the world at this moment, Lu Ran is certain that it is impossible for only Hua Tianjiang to advance. There must be another peak Sea Realm expert or Heaven Realm expert who has advanced.

Lu Ran was equally certain that there was more than one evil god behind the screen!
Did Crazy Fairy not leave?
It's been several days, and she still hasn't come home?
Lu Ran moved a few steps to the side of the screen and saw the two beautiful women on the bed.

Jiang Ruyi lay on her back with her eyes closed. Even in her sleep, she remained unchanged, still exuding a cold and aloof aura.

Si Xianxian, however, was lying on her side rather restlessly, seemingly using her best friend as a pillow.

She curled up one of her long legs and draped it over Jiang Ruyi, hugging Jiang Ruyi's arm tightly with both arms, burying her face in Jiang Ruyi's neck, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Ran: "."

Is it really necessary to be this happy?

Ah, you've finally found your chance.

Si Xianxian's struggle is bitter and heartbreaking.

Back then, she was a mighty river, not daring to cause trouble for the vast sea. After finally advancing to the Sea Realm, her good days were short-lived, as Ruyi transformed into the towering Heaven Realm.

Si Xianxian always looked up to that high and mighty person, chasing after him with faltering steps. She cultivated diligently day and night, praying to the gods and burning incense, and finally ascended to heaven. However, Jiang Ruyi became an evil god.

Now, the maid has achieved her wish and finally stands tall among the gods. It sounds like a bittersweet yet inspiring story.

But the first thing you did after becoming a god was to climb into the wife's bed?

wipe,
You've become a god, what are you sleeping for?!
Lu Ran scratched his head in discomfort, really wanting to stride forward and kick Si, the maid, off the bed.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi was a light sleeper. She sat up slightly and looked over.

"Ugh, don't go." Si Xianxian's voice was soft and sweet, probably a dream-like murmur.

Instinctively, the fairy hugged the pillow tightly, not allowing it to leave.

Jiang Ruyi smiled helplessly, stopped looking at the screen, gently lay back down, and closed her eyes for a short rest.

Lu Ran was completely numb.

What a tyrannical maid!
Lu Ran muttered to himself as he turned and returned to his study. Just as he sat back down at the low table, He Yingcai in the sculpture garden successfully advanced to the next level.

"Ugh." Lu Ran closed his eyes tightly, covered his head with his hands, and felt a splitting headache.

This time, however, he adapted much better and didn't faint.

"Ugh," Lu Ran lay on the table, his breathing trembling, the pain making him question his existence.

Just then, a terrifying pressure surged in from the doorway.

The towering mountains rolled over him inch by inch without stopping, until a slender hand landed on his back, gently massaging it up and down.

A gentle voice reached my ears: "I thought you were going to faint."

“I’ve done it before, three times. Maybe my tolerance is a bit too high,” Lu Ran stammered, his head down, one hand covering his face to hide his contorted expression. “Hmm.” Jiang Ruyi reached down and gently massaged his temples with her fingertips.

She could sense that the creatures beneath her fingers were trembling.

It could be because of the pain, or it could be because of her, or both.

Hmm. Never mind.

Jiang Ruyi acted willfully for once, kneeling behind Lu Ran, leaning forward, and resting her cheek on his back.

She took a deep breath and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

“Like, remember.”

"Ok?"

"After becoming a god, do you still need to sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyi's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

So you can be jealous too?

That's quite strange.

She embraced the trembling body from behind and whispered, "Not really, but I can sleep if I want to rest."

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed, and his heart pounded violently against the chest where her left hand was pressed.

"Just bear with it for a little while." Jiang Ruyi murmured softly, her cheek resting on Lu Ran's back. "Just for a little while."

"Mmm," Lu Ran responded softly, then suddenly asked, "Should I shout something?"

"What?" Jiang Ruyi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Divine Law - Red Scarf Order," Lu Ran suggested.

Don't underestimate this fifth-level divine technique. Once the Red Turban disciples roar in battle, there is no distinction between friend and foe on the field. All living beings dare to tread on raging fire and wade through boiling water!
Jiang Ruyi smiled gently, feeling the pounding heart beneath her palm: "Whatever you say."

"Drink!!"

"Holy crap?" A woman's exclamation came from inside the bedroom.

Si Xianxian, who was sleeping soundly with her blanket on, suddenly sat up with a start, looking around in a daze.

Who is giving orders?

Who on earth could make me charge into battle in my dreams?
"Ruyi?" Si Xianxian rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and searched the room.

Tianyaju is neither small nor large.

As soon as Si Xianxian entered the hall, she sensed the powerful aura emanating from the study.

She had just reached the study door when she heard someone's annoying voice: "Awake?"

"Of course I'm not waking up!" Si Xianxian said irritably. "With your shout, who wouldn't wake up?"

"Stop." Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke.

"Uh." Si Xianxian took a step forward, then stepped back and stood properly outside the door.

Is it a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps"?

"I'm enough to give him a hard time. If you come in, he'll be suffocating," Jiang Ruyi joked, seemingly in a good mood.

"Drink!!"

Si Xianxian: "."

Lu Ran mustered his fighting spirit and, taking advantage of the bloodshot eyes, suggested, "Now that you're awake, let's get ready and head to the Heavenly Realm."

"Aren't you going to rest?" Jiang Ruyi asked hesitantly. "You must be exhausted."

“I can hold out. Speed ​​is of the essence!” Lu Ran continued without hesitation, “I’m also worried about what the gods and demons might do. It would be best to take down the vicious dog before the situation changes drastically.”

That way, we can equip our soldiers who haven't yet become gods with teleportation and invisibility techniques.

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi nodded gently.

Indeed, no one knows when the good days of the Burning Gate will end.

No one can give a definite answer as to what the future situation will be like.

The ability to teleport and become invisible will certainly be a great asset to the warriors of the Burning Gate!
Even if the Burning Gate is exposed and is clearly besieged by gods and demons, these two techniques may still allow the Burning Gate to maintain its current style.

Hunting down gods and demons silently in the shadows!

Si Xianxian suddenly asked, "If we slow down and don't fight for a long time, won't the gods and demons become complacent?"

At the very least, if they can't work together, won't they gradually fall apart again?

Jiang Ruyi pondered for a moment, then shook her head and went straight to the heart of the problem: "No, there are external enemies."

"Oh, right," Si Xianxian muttered.

The Faceless Jade Venerable has been attacking the gods and demons, constantly expanding his winning streak, allowing the Burning Gate no time to rest.

"Drink!"

Si Xianxian: "."

My young master is like an alarm clock!
It rings every 30 seconds?
"You two come back first, I'll go gather the soldiers." Lu Ran continued with renewed fighting spirit, speaking in a deep voice, "I've been near the sacred mountain where the Dark Toad-Moon Spirit is, so we'll be able to get to the battlefield very quickly this time."

"You all need to quickly discuss and devise a battle plan based on the characteristics of the Dark Toad within the park."

"Okay." Jiang Ruyi rested her head on Lu Ran's back and responded softly. A magnificent afterimage unfolded within her tiny human body.

A terrifying energy enveloped Lu Ran, surging into his pupils.
