Chapter 160, Meeting Zhou Yu

Inside the city.

Lin Ran enveloped the two of them with wind spiritual energy, while earth spiritual energy adhered to their bodies.

The wind was used to obscure their vision, and the earth was used to bless them with good fortune. They passed through several chaotic streets without being discovered by the alien race.

Finally, it stopped in front of a three-story building.

The building's overall decor is predominantly black, giving it a depressing and uncomfortable feel at first glance, instinctively making people want to stay away.

There are many different races on the surrounding streets, but the fewest are here.

The familiar figure in black robes was already standing in front of the door.

"How did you end up here?"

Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised to see Lin Ran, and her hoarse voice brought back a sense of familiarity for Lin Ran.

Lin Ran smiled.

"I'm looking for a curse that can kill an entire race from top to bottom. It's too much effort for me to kill them myself, and they're likely to escape."

"Alright, come in first. There are alien races outside."

Zhou Yu welcomed the two into the living room.

Apart from the living room, all the doors to the rooms were closed.

The Spirit Master looked around curiously at the tightly closed doors. Behind each door was a special power, which piqued her curiosity.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu chuckled softly.

"Want to go take a look?"

"Is that alright?" the Spirit Lord asked curiously.

"Can."

Zhou Yu smiled.

Lin Ran thought Zhou Yu's smile was strange.

So the Spirit Lord went to see it.

Zhou Yu led Lin Ran to the living room and sat her down. Two teacups flew over automatically, and the teapot poured tea into them.

Lin Ran glanced at the Spirit Master; the Truth Eye Technique had already passed through the door and revealed the true scene inside the room.

His lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't find the words to describe it.

"Really..."

"Strange?" Zhou Yu chuckled, her gray eyes fixed on Lin Ran, still lifeless.

Lin Ran shook her head.

"It's hard to describe, but it should be close enough."

He handed a ring to Zhou Yu.

"Inside are some abyssal creatures we killed on the way. Right now, there are only corpses. Let's see if they're useful."

"Let me see."

Zhou Yu observed for a while and then nodded.

"It has some use, and it would be even more useful if it were alive."

"After the chaos subsides, I'll go out and catch some."

Lin Ran nodded.

Then he asked,

"Do you have a storage ring for storing living creatures? I didn't bring it with me."

"I have one, but it's not very spacious. They should sell them in the city."

Zhou Yu took out a ring.

Lin Ran glanced at it and pushed it back.

"You can use this for now, I'll find another one later."

"it is good."

Zhou Yu put the ring away and stopped talking.

Lin Ran's eyes gleamed as she saw the side effects of the large amount of curse power accumulated within Zhou Yu's body.

She did not transfer the curse to him.

After a brief silence.

Lin Ran suddenly beckoned with his finger, and Zhou Yu immediately flew into the air and landed on his lap.

Zhou Yu: ?

It's only been a short time since we last met, and the difference in strength has already become so great!

Why don't you use your curse?

Zhou Yu did not struggle, still looking into Lin Ran's eyes, "The city is still in chaos, I can still hold my own."

"Before I came, you suppressed me, but now that I'm here, do you still want to continue?"

Lin Ran gently pinched Zhou Yu's chin, drawing her closer to him.

Zhou Yu didn't speak, she just looked at him.

Lin Ran smiled and pressed herself against it.

Zhou Yu's body stiffened, then Lin Ran pressed down on her chest, connecting the scorching spiritual energy to the curse.

The side effects of the curse, which had accumulated to near their limit, instantly found a breakthrough and, like a flood bursting its banks, surged wildly into Lin Ran's body, entering a larger space.

Lin Ran mobilized the earth's spiritual energy and easily suppressed these side effects. His current cultivation level was much higher than Zhou Yu's, and with the support of the Four Pillars Yuan Technique and the luck of the earth attribute, it was even easier to suppress them.

After a long while, all the side effects had dissipated.

Lin Ran opened his mouth and clearly felt Zhou Yu completely relax, no longer as tense as before, her soft and elastic body pressed against him.

He pinched Zhou Yu's cheek.

"That's good."

"……really."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yu nodded.

Then she closed her eyes and rested her chin on Lin Ran's chin.

"?"

Lin Ran glanced at her and found that she had actually fallen asleep!

I was speechless. How many side effects had been accumulated in the process of researching the curse?

Lin Ran shook her head slightly and glanced at the small, dazed figure who had walked out of the room.

The Spirit Master remained silent. Who knows what she had just seen? That kind of thing, could it really be researched by one person alone!

Is this person really not a follower of some evil god?!

Suddenly, the Spirit Master felt his body lighten and he flew up. After regaining his senses, he landed on Lin Ran.

"Were you scared?"

A gentle voice rang out.

The Spirit Lord raised his head and saw Lin Ran's gentle gaze.

She stood there for a moment, then her suppressed emotions began to surface. Her big eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged Lin Ran tightly, bursting into sobs.

Too scary!

Lin Ran smiled as she hugged Zhou Yu and gently patted her to comfort the Spirit Master, as if she were comforting a little kid.

Zhou Yu completely renovated this three-story building.

Apart from the living room on the first floor, which was relatively normal, the rest of the area had been transformed into rooms, each containing indescribable creatures born from different curses.

If these things were brought to the human realm, she would probably be considered a direct descendant of some evil god.

Lin Ran thought of the evil god, wondering what was going on.

The Mother Realm says that members of the evil gods pose a great threat, but as far as he knows, apart from when he was still a mortal, he has never seen any other evil god's followers.

After much comforting, the Spirit Master calmed down and held Lin Ran tightly, refusing to let go, clearly terrified by those things.

Lin Ran let her have her way, her gaze piercing through the three-story building to see the all-encompassing network of rules above the city.

Normally, without the personal intervention of a being at the Rule Realm, it would be impossible to set up a rule network of this level.

Even in the human realm, only a few of the most important main cities are governed by rules.

But now, in a city that doesn't even have any superhumans, there exists such a large-scale network of rules.

He couldn't help but suspect that this place was actually an experimental ground for some mother-level race.

Because the human race also has similar arrangements.

After observing for a long time, Lin Ran found more than a dozen ways to break through the rule network and leave the city.

They felt a little more relaxed, no longer worried that the rules might suddenly activate and trap them in the city.

Zhou Yu in his arms suddenly stirred, her eyes slowly opening.

"Want to sleep a little longer?"

That's enough.

Zhou Yu shook her head, placed her small hand on Lin Ran's chest, and stood up.

Lin Ran's gaze followed the movement, and she couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know how many times she had seen it, but every time she saw it, it was still awe-inspiring.

Even a large cloak couldn't hide Zhou Yu's ample assets.

As for the cloak, it was a tool to suppress the side effects of the curse, but for Zhou Yu at this moment, it was dispensable.

Zhou Yu noticed that Lin Ran was looking at her. After a brief silence, she suddenly reached out and untied her cloak.

hiss~

Lin Ran was shocked; Zhou Yu had once again exceeded his expectations.

Zhou Yu gave a soft hum, her cheeks flushed, and she put on her cloak again before quickly walking into a room.

Lin Ran's gaze lingered on the closed door, then her eyes were drawn away by two small hands pinching her cheeks, meeting a pair of emerald green eyes.

"team leader!"
