"I want to sleep with Ruyi tonight…" Si Xianxian muttered while being pushed forward.

"You're dreaming!" Lu Ran leaned close to Si Xianxian's ear, speaking as he activated the Transmission Mirror, casually shoving Si Xianxian inside.

A little maid, daring to climb into the Lady's bed?

How outrageous!

Si Xianxian: ???

Just as she was about to reveal her true face and prepare to curse up a storm, she realized she was already home.

Meanwhile, in the small fenced courtyard of Cloud Sea Residence.

Lu Ran turned his head to look at Jiang Ruyi.

After Si Xianxian left, the courtyard lost its source of light.

The sky tonight churned with the Cloud Sea, no stars nor moon, and the interior of Cloud Sea Cliff was engulfed in pitch darkness.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't see a thing.

But she could feel someone's intense gaze.

"Hoo~"

The night breeze whispered, rustling the leaves and filling the silent night with clear sounds.

Jiang Ruyi pressed her lips together, naturally aware of the mischievous thoughts brewing in someone's mind.

The wind, the rustling leaves, everything was clear.

The sound of her heartbeat and the sound of footsteps were equally distinct.

A faint blush slowly spread across Jiang Ruyi's face. She softly broke the silence: "Those ones at Feixian Hall, were they accepted as believers?"

"Accepted." Lu Ran approached Jiang Fairy's side, sensing for a moment before adding, "Those three haven't rested yet; they're still contributing their Power of Faith to me."

"Oh?" Jiang Ruyi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Feels a bit exploitative," Lu Ran remarked, his expression peculiar. "Now, we can literally grow stronger by lying down."

Jiang Ruyi shot a reproachful glance: "How much Power of Faith?"

Lu Ran shook his head regretfully: "Very little, extremely thin.

I fear we'll need to recruit tens of thousands of believers before the energy you gain becomes anywhere near substantial."

"Me?"

"Indeed, they're providing Power of Faith to the Jade Talisman Stone Sculpture! Eventually, you're meant to replace this Stone Sculpture… Ah, let's not digress."

Lu Ran leaned down, wrapping one arm around her back and the other beneath her knees.

In a bridal carry, he lifted Jiang Fairy off the ground.

"Mmm." Jiang Ruyi lowered her gaze, her face flushed crimson.

The supposedly lofty and aloof immortal now looked so delicate and enchanting that Lu Ran felt the flames of desire roaring within him!

He strode toward the house, lowered his head, and captured her soft lips.

"Mmh…" Jiang Ruyi closed her eyes tightly, responding faintly between breaths.

Lu Ran quickly advanced into the bedroom, but abruptly halted his steps.

"What's wrong?" In the pitch-black surroundings, Jiang Ruyi's voice was small and tinged with uncertainty.

Lu Ran responded tentatively: "Evil Shadow?"

"Master." A cold female voice spoke from behind.

The Evil Shadow Guardian appeared in a flicker, kneeling half-way behind Lu Ran with perfect composure.

Jiang Ruyi's eyes widened slightly!

There was someone here the whole time?

Yan Shuangzi?

Jiang Ruyi's thin skin betrayed her; she was utterly mortified, even the delicate white tips of her ears flushing faintly pink.

She pressed her lips tightly together and buried her face in Lu Ran's arms out of sheer embarrassment.

Lu Ran, for his part, only felt relief!

Thankfully, he remembered the shadow lurking nearby.

Speaking of which, Yan Shuangzi was proving more impressive by the day—no sound, no emotional leakage at all.

Lu Ran spoke up: "Uh, you… you should take the night off and go home."

Behind him, all was silent.

Others might not understand, but Lu Ran knew Yan Shuangzi well enough to recognize this as silent resistance.

When it came to staying by Lu Ran's side, she was extremely obsessive.

The problem was,

This lord can't host live broadcasts!

That's a whole different price tag…

Feeling exasperated, Lu Ran slightly hardened his tone: "Follow orders."

"Yes." The Evil Shadow Guardian murmured her response before finally flickering away.

Lu Ran waited for a moment before carrying the jade-like beauty in his arms and stepping toward the bedchamber.

Jiang Ruyi whispered: "Has she left?"

"Probably."

Jiang Ruyi was equal parts shy and annoyed: "You… mmh."
