"Ah?"

Lu Ran was holding the Ancient Bronze Mirror, closely observing the jasmine flower.

Suddenly, a delicate jade hand reached out in the mirror and gently plucked the flower.

This unexpected scene left Lu Ran stunned.

He immediately zoomed out the view and saw the owner of the hand.

Her upper body was that of a woman, dressed in white clothes, draped with a white veil.

Her long black hair was styled up high; her white veil fluttered around her.

Her lower half, however, was covered with white scales of a serpent's body.

The scales were white like jade, emitting a strange luster, extremely beautiful.

Evil Demon·Jade-faced Snake!

She placed the flower close to her nose, gently sniffing it, as if somewhat intoxicated.

What was terrifying was the long snake tongue that she spat out from her lips!

Her tongue forked, lightly grasping a jasmine petal.

Then came her red and tender long tongue, incredibly agile, coiling around a whole jasmine flower, swallowing it.

Lu Ran: !!!

My! Flower!

Lu Ran closely observed the scene in the mirror, immediately reaching his hand to the side and a surge of energy fluctuated in his palm.

Evil Technique·Mirror of Sin!

Another exquisite ancient bronze mirror assembled itself.

Immediately, it rapidly enlarged, turning into a floor-length mirror.

Jiang Grade Evil Technique·Mirror Flower Moon!

This core technique of transmission belonged to the Evil Mirror Demon clan!

"Hiss?"

Inside the floor-length mirror, the Jade-faced Snake furrowed her brow, twisting her serpent body, quickly retreating backward.

While retreating, her long tongue again coiled around a flower, drawing it into her lips.

"Snap! Snap!"

In the floor-length mirror, a pair of hands emerged, clasping the sides of the mirror frame.

Following that, Lu Ran emerged from the floor-length mirror.

Such a scene was extremely astonishing!

If people saw it, it would likely shock the whole world!

However, Lu Ran was not so aware.

He just watched as the last jasmine flower disappeared into the red lips of the Jade-faced Snake.

"Hiss~"

The Jade-faced Snake looked a bit surprised, sizing up Lu Ran from top to bottom.

"All three flowers... just... all eaten?" Lu Ran asked with a pained expression.

The Jade-faced Snake naturally could not understand human languages, but her kind had extraordinarily high intellect.

Comparable to that of the Evil Demon·Evil Spear Emperor!

Seeing the regretful expression on a human's face, the Jade-faced Snake realized why Lu Ran had come.

"Hiss!"

A surge of energy emanated from the Jade-faced Snake's hands, quickly summoning a Jade Ruyi.

Evil Technique·Jade Ruyi!

The lower half of the Jade-faced Snake's body was about eight meters long.

With a slight lift of her lower body, she easily reached a height of three meters.

From such an elevated position, she looked down on Lu Ran.

Such a lofty posture made Lu Ran quite furious!

A mere Evil Demon, daring to act arrogantly before a big shot from the River Realm!

"Huff~"

The Jade-faced Snake brought the Jade Ruyi to her face, slightly parting her thin lips, and blew out a breath of Immortal Breath.

Evil Technique·Immortal Breath!

Lu Ran remained unruffled, pulling the floor-length mirror to his front with a backhanded grip.

"Huff~~~"

Wherever the Immortal Breath passed, flowers and trees withered away, turning into ash.

But the Immortal Breath that blew towards Lu Ran was sucked into the floor-length mirror, not harming him in the slightest.

"Hiss."

The Jade-faced Snake's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she immediately stopped blowing.

At the edge of the floor-length mirror, a head quietly emerged, looking towards the Jade-faced Snake, even blinking an eye.

Observing surreptitiously.JPG

The Jade-faced Snake's expression changed!

Her noble, sanctified face took on a hint of anger.

"Hmph." Lu Ran let out a cold scoff, casually dispersing the floor-length mirror, and smoothly grasped the hilt of a sword over his shoulder.

At this moment, Lu Ran was carrying three swords!

The three swords were in a parallel position, all slanting towards his right shoulder.

Two of them had black and gold-colored scabbards, both of similar make and finely crafted, visibly quite valuable.

Only one of them had an iron-made scabbard, a bit crudely made.

And the sword Lu Ran was holding was slowly being drawn from this scabbard — Eight Desolate Annihilation!

"Hiss!"

The Jade-faced Snake let out a hiss.

A noble race,

not something you lowlies could provoke?

Her face turned icy as she picked up the Jade Ruyi again and blew out another breath of Immortal Breath.

"Hiss!!"

The Immortal Breath passed through the Jade Ruyi, turning into a giant white-scaled python roaring and attacking!

Evil Technique·Immortal Sky Python!

"Tss!"

Blade into flesh!

The blood-stained tip of the sword pierced from behind the Jade-faced Snake, through her chest, appearing before her eyes.

The Jade-faced Snake's pupils contracted dramatically!

At that moment, she could no longer maintain her lofty stance.

But it was already too late.

Lu Ran stood behind the Jade-faced Snake, stepping on the wind and waves, hovering in the air.

He held the Jade-faced Snake's shoulder with one hand, and with the other, he wielded Eight Desolate Annihilation, piercing her heart.

Ran Sect Blade Technique Third Form·Shuo Star!

This was the move that Lu Ran had comprehended while fighting the Evil Mirror Demon of the River Realm.

The name of the sword technique was also inspired by the beautiful Demon Cave·Galaxy Bay.

Do not teleport first, then strike.

Rather, strike first, then teleport!

"Huff~"

The Jade-faced Snake's white veil fluttered lightly, stroking Lu Ran's cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.

Lu Ran, observing the proprieties, flicked his sword upward.

He cleaved open her chest, splitting open a beauty's skull.

The pungent smell of blood wafted through the air, dispelling the intoxicating fragrance.

"Plop~"

The Jade-faced Snake's skeletal remains quietly shattered, turning into a thick mist.

Lu Ran still hovered in the air, calling upon the Divine Power Pearl around his neck, drawing in the thick mist.

Recalling the first time he encountered the Jade-faced Snake, how difficult the kill had been.

And now look at the present!

It really was quite moving.

Under the gaze of the masses, Lu Tianjiao,

was indeed a figure of extraordinary strength, unparalleled in his time.

But this so-called "First Pride of Da Xia" was far lesser than the "Evil Sect Master"!

In one sentence:

The fewer the cameras, the stronger Lu Ran!

"Huff~"

Lu Ran gently landed, then summoned another ancient bronze mirror.

He searched and searched, but this time he did not see another jasmine flower.

Lu Ran was not discouraged.

He still had a long journey of training within Lingyun Mountain.

With the Evil Technique·Connection Mirror by his side, he would eventually tie a thread of fate with that mysterious jasmine flower.

After confirming multiple times that there were no other creatures around, Lu Ran closed his eyes.

In his mind, Lu Ran connected deeply with the Yan Zhi Evil Sculpture.

"Divine Power shapes its body."

He slowly raised his right hand and reached forward, a severe wave of energy fluctuation surged forth.

"Origin Energy builds its soul."

Lu Ran muttered to himself, repeatedly chanting the spell.

In a short while, a big red figure gradually took shape.

Yan Zhi!

At last, I still molded you out!

That year on the Worship God Platform, you wanted to take me away.

Later, on the fifteenth night, you held me and flew into the vast rainy night.

On the night of the college entrance examination, you came again, aggressively chasing me!

Today,

I'm giving in to you... cough cough, I mean, I'm summoning you out, so we can have a good chat!

Lu Ran had many thoughts, but he dared not act rashly.

It must be said, the aura of Yan Zhi was too strong.

Wearing a phoenix crown, draped in a Big Red Robe.

Graceful and majestic, her demeanor impeccable!

"That Big Red Robe suits your commanding presence," Lu Ran murmured softly, slowly raising his hand.

Yan Zhi initially had a docile appearance but suddenly looked up at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's face stiffened, and his hand paused mid-air.

Yan Zhi's expressionless face, those beautiful eyes quietly looking at Lu Ran.

"Chime~chime~"

The mountain breeze blew.

From the elegant phoenix crown the woman wore, a pleasant and clear tinkling sound emerged.

Hard to believe, but Lu Ran... felt slightly intimidated.

He was used to seeing Yan Zhi's eyes burning with zeal, almost an obsession.

Who had ever seen her motionless, just quietly watching him?

"Close your eyes," Lu Ran pressed down his hand.

Yan Zhi slightly tilted her head, seemingly a bit puzzled.

Lu Ran: "..."

I mean to say,

your temperament doesn't suit acting cute.

Yan Zhi suddenly knelt down, as if understanding her master's intentions.

Her hands overlapped, resting on her abdomen, her head respectfully bowed down, showing reverence.

As she moved, the elegant phoenix crown tinkled again.

"Uh." Lu Ran stepped back two steps, sizing up Yan Zhi.

His self-made Evil Demon minion held no covetous desires towards her master.

It was only the principle of obedience infused when he sculpted her.

Think about it,

the Yan Zhi that invaded the world had an essence derived from the original Evil Demon.

The Yan Zhi that Lu Ran summoned was rooted in the Evil Sculptures from his own Sculpture Garden.

The tools used to cultivate the Evil Sculptures carried a trace of the Original Energy carried by Yan Zhi's Dead Soul, not the soul itself.

So, the various traits of Yan Zhi's soul did not affect the Evil Sculptures in the Sculpture Garden.

"Rise," Lu Ran finally spoke.

Yan Zhi lifted her eyes towards Lu Ran, then tilted her head again, still somewhat confused.

"Alright then." Lu Ran said helplessly, seemingly starting from scratch.

He stepped forward, offering his arm to assist Yan Zhi up.

Yan Zhi slowly stood up, naturally embracing Lu Ran's arm.

Lu Ran: ???

No!

Sister!

What's the matter?

Lu Ran had assisted Night Charm and also Ghost General before, but they never clung like a stick to a snake!

So, is Yan Zhi's desire for a perfect consort an indelible thought?

Is this a trait of her race?

"Stop, stop, stop." Lu Ran immediately freed his arm.

Yan Zhi timely released her hands, the posture of her hands reverting to their elegant and dignified placement over her abdomen.

As if the prior action had nothing to do with her.

For a moment, Lu Ran also doubted, wondering if he had acted impulsively.

Was she just trying to stabilize herself?

Lu Ran scrutinized Yan Zhi closely.

Yan Zhi faced Lu Ran, her eyes meek, fully respectful.

"Let's go." Lu Ran rubbed his cheek, feeling somewhat insecure.

He waved his hand and turned to leave, casually deploying the Evil Technique·Connection Mirror.

Yan Zhi understood the gesture, but she didn't walk; instead, she slowly levitated.

Her feet hovered about ten centimeters off the ground, silently following Lu Ran.

"Go!"

Lu Ran pointed toward a distant tree.

Yan Zhi hesitated for a moment, and according to her master's gesture, she comprehended his intentions and then flew over.

"Come!" Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction and waved to her.

Master and servant moved through the woods, with Lu Ran continually teaching her simple commands.

A few minutes later, Lu Ran paused mid-stride, glancing toward the floating ancient bronze mirror on the right.

Inside the Connection Mirror, another Jade-faced Snake appeared!

Tsk, tsk, such refined taste!

This Jade-faced Snake was actually coiled around a tree, admiring the scenic beauty of the mountain?

Behind Lu Ran, Yan Zhi also turned her head, looking toward the Connection Mirror.

Yan Zhi remained expressionless, even upon seeing the celestial beauty of the Jade-faced Snake, she showed no reaction.

In just a moment, her gaze returned to Lu Ran.

But inadvertently,

as she watched Lu Ran's back, a hint of hidden resentment seemed to flicker in the depths of her eyes...
