Li Ran's eyes became dull.
The air fell into an eerie silence.
"I told you to try it, but I didn't tell you to change in front of me!" He covered his face helplessly.
Aqin: (O_O)
In the end, Li Ran blushed and helped her pick a set of clothes.
After Aqin had changed clothes, her entire aura changed.
The light pink robe was wrapped around her body, and inside was a white gauze robe, revealing her beautiful neck.
The folds of her skirt reflected snow with brilliance. Three thousand black hair was tied up with a hair strap, and the faintly discernible red leaf on her cheeks added a touch of innocence to her.
Aqin pulled at the hem of her robe and nervously asked, "Lord Sheng Zi, isn't it strange?"
Li Ran's eyes were filled with admiration. "No, it's very beautiful."
Aqin heaved a sigh of relief and became excited.
Because of the transformation of the beautiful woman's body, her skin was as white and delicate as silk.
Every move had a seductive aura.
With the timid look in her eyes, there was a strong temptation to be charming and pure.
Li Ran realized something and asked in confusion, "You… you broke through again?"
Her aura was much thicker than before.
Aqin nodded. "Ever since you left the mountain, I've been cultivating. I've broken through to the late-stage of Qi Refining."
Li Ran couldn't say anything. "…"
If I remember correctly, when she first left the mountain, Aqin was still at the middle stage of Qi Refining.
Not long after, she had already broken through to the late stage!
This cultivation speed was even faster than his?
Li Ran's talent was saint-grade.
Theoretically speaking, he has the highest talent that had ever appeared in the Vast Lands.
Other than some extremely rare constitutions, no one could break through the realm faster than him.
The reason why Aqin was able to increase her speed was not only because of her 'master's mission', but also because of her constitution and cultivation methods.
Previously, Li Ran had practiced the top-level cultivation technique, the Ethereal Sifting Holy Tome.
This cultivation method was extremely obscure and had slow improvement. However, every small advancement would trigger a qualitative change. On the same cultivation, one's combat strength was extremely strong.
And Aqin was cultivating the 'Mysterious Light Sutra'.
This was a dual cultivation technique in itself. It was to improve their companion's cultivation, so it was easy to cultivate.
Coupled with the highly compatible Maiden Spirit Body, it was not surprising to have such an unprecedented cultivation speed.
"That's right. Let's continue." Li Ran praised her.
"Aqin will work hard. She will build her foundation as soon as possible!" Aqin nodded happily."
At the same time, she muttered in her heart, "I'll try to cultivate with the Sheng Zi as soon as possible!"
Li Ran came out of his residence and walked towards Demon Peak.
Thinking that he was about to meet the Sect Master, he was both happy and nervous.
"The cancellation of the engagement was so big that the Sect Master must have known about it…
"I don't know if she'll be angry. What if she cuts me in one blow?"
"Hai… there's a knife at my head!"
Just like that, he let his imagination run wild and arrived in front of the Sect Master's bedroom.
The black-clothed guard raised his hand to stop him. "Sheng Zi, stop."
Li Ran stopped. "I'm here to see the Sect Master."
The guard said, "The master said that no one is allowed here today."
Li Ran frowned and said worriedly, "Sect Master, are you injured?"
Recently, the situation has been surging. It seemed like the Devil Path was going to form some kind of alliance. Had Leng Wuyan run out to fight with someone?
The guard shook his head and said, "The Sect Master said that she was tired. She just wanted to rest."
"She is tired?"
Li Ran raised his head to look at the bright sunlight. "It's just noon. Is she going to rest?"
The guard nodded seriously.
At that moment, Deacon Wang walked past the two of them with a basket of spirit fruits and walked straight into the bedroom.
Li Ran was taken aback for a moment and said, "Why didn't you stop her?"
"This…" The guard stuttered for a long time.
If Li Ran couldn't tell, he would be a fool.
"All right, looks like the sect master didn't close the door to all guests. She merely didn't want to see me."
Li Ran sighed and took out a box. "Then please give this to the Sect Master."
Then, he turned around and left dejectedly.
—
In the bedroom…
Deacon Wang, who was placing the spiritual fruit, said, "Sect master, I just saw Sheng Zi. Don't you want him to come in?"
"I don't want to see him now," Leng Wuyan said sternly.
"Oh, okay." Deacon Wang shivered and quickly left after putting down the spirit fruit.
Leng Wuyan's expression fell as she mumbled angrily, "Disloyal disciple, it's fine if you're fooling around outside, but you didn't come to see me immediately!"
"This time, I have to dry you up!"
At this moment, the door knocked and a guard walked in. "Greetings, Sect Master."
Leng Wuyan asked, "The Sheng Zi has left?"
"I've already sent him away according to your instructions," the guard replied.
Then, he presented a box. "This is what Sheng Zi asked me to pass to you before he left."
"Yes, put it on the table," Leng Wuyan casually said.
"Yes!" The guard put the box down and left.
As soon as he left, Leng Wuyan stood up and walked briskly to the table.
Looking at the exquisite Immortal Wooden Box, the corner of her mouth curled into a smile. "Humph, it's considered that you have some conscience. You even know how to bring me a gift! Well, since that's the case, let's not hang you for another four hours."
She carefully opened the box.
The moment he opened it, she was stunned.
One could only feel the immortal qi that is emitted from the box, followed by a bright divine light. If it weren't for the Immortal Wood, it would have caused a heaven and earth phenomenon.
Thousand-year-old White Vine, Extreme Yang Grass, Divine Ning Flower, Black Blood Lotus…
It was a box full of immortal materials!
Even she rarely saw these precious treasures. If she took them out, it would cause the sect to fight!
Leng Wuyan's throat twitched. "This should be Ran'er's harvest in the secret realm, right?"
She knew the value of these immortal materials and their value to cultivators.
This was a great fortune!
And Li Ran gave it to her!
"Tch, you think you can please me with just this?"
Leng Wuyan pursed her lips, but the smile in her eyes could not be hidden anymore.
It was not because of these treasures, but because of Li Ran's sincerity and affection for her.
At that moment, Leng Wuyan noticed that there was another item in the box.
"This is… a sculpture?"
She reached out to take it out. Just as she took a look, she couldn't help but be stunned.
This was a piece of sculpture carved from precious material.
It was a woman with a candy man.
The woman's clothes under the white robe were thin, revealing her slender neck. Her skirt fluttered, and her calves were slender and round.
She was holding a candy man. It was unknown who had bitten off half of it.
The woman's expression seemed to be one of anger and joy. Although she didn't appear in the slightest, Leng Wuyan still recognized her.
This was her.
This sculpture couldn't be said to be lifelike. Some of the lines were even very stiff, but one could see the sculptor's intentions.
Leng Wuyan stared blankly at the sculpture as if she could imagine how clumsy Li Ran was when he was sculpting it.
A wisp of mist rose in her eyes as she turned her head and said in a low voice, "This traitorous disciple is annoying…"
She solemnly put the sculpture away.
In her eyes, this clumsy sculpture was far more meaningful than those immortal materials.
"Forget it," Leng Wuyan said.
Leng Wuyan rubbed her eyes and stepped out of the bedroom. "I want to see him now!"
