Lu Ran and the think tank finalized the next stage of task planning, and then everyone gradually took their leave.

As Jiang Ruyi got up, Lu Ran's heart fluttered along.

Fortunately, the Evil God didn't make things difficult for him, not even looking his way, and walked to the bedroom on her own.

Lu Ran felt a bit numb.

Opportunity?

But, who dares to follow her...

The maid dares!

The young master's seat seemed glued to the Taishi Chair, utterly timid, while the maid briskly followed the lady into the bedroom.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and finally got up.

But instead of heading to the bedroom, he moved towards the study on the other side.

Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian, these two close friends, must have a lot of secrets to share, better not to disturb them.

Lu Ran found an excuse for himself, moved to the low table in the study, and sat down cross-legged.

Before long, the buzzing in his head became more intense.

Little Ruyi is truly ruthless!

It's unclear if it was intentional, her stone sculpture in the Sculpture Garden, combined with a few soldiers who just participated in the battle, jointly nourished two full stone sculptures.

One was Leng Tianyue, inheritor of Nether Toad-Moon Spirit from the former Cloud Sea forces.

Another was Yan Shuangzi, Evil Shadow Guardian, inheriting Evil Dog-Greedy Wolf.

From this situation, it was also apparent that Ran Sect's decision-making body approved Lu Ran's earlier suggestion.

In the next phase, first take down the Nether Toad, then finish off the Evil Dog!

Of course, that's the work ahead, at the moment, with two vigorously trembling stone sculptures, plus the constantly humming He Yingcai stone sculpture, it was driving Lu Ran crazy.

He found a sense of being back in school in front of the low table in the study.

With his arms crossed and lying on the table.

The difference was, back in school, lying on the table for two classes was about enough, as hunger would strike, no matter how sleepy, one had to get up to grab a meal...

Now Lu Ran was neither sleepy nor needed to eat.

Without basic needs, it didn't feel human anymore.

"Hmm." Lu Ran pouted, still found it more comfortable lying on the school desk back in the day.

Back then, his classmate little Ruyi would always poke him with a pen, trying to wake him. Occasionally failing to wake him, she would helplessly give up, later kindly draping her school uniform over him.

Now, Lu Ran... alone, lonely, and cold.

And couldn't fall asleep.

Both Leng Tianyue and Yan Shuangzi were on the second level of the Heavenly Realm and took about two and a half days to advance to the third level.

In the Sculpture Garden, only He Yingcai stone sculpture remained, still in a vigorous process of Becoming a God.

Lu Ran felt somewhat relieved, got up, and stretched wickedly: "Uh~~~"

Accompanying a few crisp cracking sounds of his joints, Lu Ran relaxed, drooping his arms as he walked to the door of the study, gazing at the bedroom from afar.

Should I go see her?

If she's resting, would her imposing manner be slightly weaker?

Lu Ran didn't dare to hope the Evil God to be gentle and lovely, only hoped she'd give him a bit of leeway.

Even a fierce tiger naps sometimes!

Lu Ran thought to himself, stepping through the hall, entering the bedroom, approaching the screen step by step.

The closer he got, the more something felt off!

His sharpness was undeniable, just like the dense fog currently pervading the world, Lu Ran was very certain that it wasn't only Hua Heavenly General who advanced; there must be another Sea Realm Peak or Heavenly Realm individual advancing.

Lu Ran was equally certain there was more than one Evil God behind the screen!

Did Mad Fairy not leave?

It's been days, and she still hasn't gone home?

Lu Ran shuffled sideways, standing at the side of the screen, catching sight of the two beautiful figures on the bed.

Jiang Ruyi lay on her back, eyes closed, unchanged in her dream, still exuding a cold demeanor, keeping others a thousand miles away.

Si Xianxian, however, lay scruffily on her side, seemingly treating her best friend as a body pillow.

She curled one long leg over Jiang Ruyi, tightly holding onto Jiang Ruyi's arm, her face nestled against the latter's neck, sleeping soundly.

Lu Ran: "..."

Do they have to be so blissful?

Heh, seems you finally found your chance.

Si Xianxian's journey is one of struggle and heartache, inspiring as well.

Back then, she was in Vast River, didn't dare to meddle with Yangyang Sea, finally advancing to the Sea Realm, her good days didn't last long before Ruyi transformed into Majestic Heaven Realm.

Si Xianxian always gazed up at that lofty figure, struggling to pursue, she practiced diligently day and night, prayed to Ran Sect, finally Ascended, only to find Jiang Ruyi become an Evil God.

Now, the maid's wishes were fulfilled, firmly standing among All Gods... truly a bittersweet and inspirational story.

But the first thing you do after becoming a god is climb into the lady's bed?

Darn,

You've become a god, and you're sleeping?

With a pained expression, Lu Ran ruffled his hair, really wanting to stride forward and kick Si the maid off the bed.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ruyi, a light sleeper, slightly propped herself up and looked over.

"Mmm, don't go..." Si Xianxian's voice soft and tender, likely talking in her sleep.

The dreaming Xian instinctively hugged tighter, not allowing her 'pillow' to leave.

Jiang Ruyi smiled helplessly, didn't look at the screen anymore, gently lay back down, closed her eyes for a nap.

Lu Ran was completely numb.

What a bully maid~

Lu Ran silently groused, turned back to the study, and just as he sat back behind the low table, it coincided with He Yingcai's successful advancement in the Sculpture Garden.

"Ugh." Lu Ran closed his eyes tightly, holding his head with both hands, his head about to split from pain.

This time, he adapted quite a bit and didn't faint.

"Ha…" Lu Ran lay prone on the desk, even his breathing carried a trembling tone, the pain making him question life.

Just then, a terrifying pressure surged from the doorway.

A majestic mountain crushed forth inch by inch, showing no sign of stopping, until a slender hand landed on his back, gently soothing him up and down.

Soft words reached his ear: "I thought you would pass out."

"Previously, yes, three times, maybe my tolerance has increased somewhat." Lu Ran stutteringly said, head lowered, one hand covering his face, concealing his twisted expression.

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi lowered her hands, her fingertips gently massaging his temples.

She could sense that the life beneath her fingers was trembling.

Possibly due to pain, possibly due to her, or perhaps both.

Mmm... Never mind.

Jiang Ruyi rarely acted willful, kneeling behind Lu Ran, leaning forward with her side face resting on his spine.

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

"Ruyi."

"Hmm?"

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

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyi's mouth curled into a charming arc.

So, you do get jealous too?

How strange.

She embraced the trembling body from behind, whispered lowly: "Not really needed, but if I want to take a break, I can sleep."

"Glug." Lu Ran's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, the heart beating fiercely beneath her left hand pressing on his chest.

"Hold on for a bit." Jiang Ruyi's voice was very light, her side face resting on Lu Ran's spine, murmuring, "Just for a moment."

"Mm... mm." Lu Ran replied softly, suddenly said, "Should I shout?"

"What?" Jiang Ruyi was a bit puzzled.

"Divine Technique·Red Cloth Order." Lu Ran proposed.

Don't underestimate this Fifth-class God's skill, once the Red Cloth Disciple's battle roar is heard, everyone on the field, friend or foe, becomes brave enough to step into raging fire and boiling water!

Jiang Ruyi smiled and felt the heart pounding under her palm: "As you wish."

"Haa!!"

"What the hell?" A shocked cry came from the bedroom.

Originally sleeping soundly while riding a comforter, Si Xianxian jolted awake, sat up suddenly, bewilderedly glanced around.

Who's giving orders?

Who was it that made me charge in my dream?

"Ruyi?" Si Xianxian rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and searched around the room.

Tianya Residence isn't too small, nor too large.

Si Xianxian arrived at the hall and detected the powerful aura in the study.

As soon as she reached the study door, she heard that annoying voice: "Awake?"

"How could I not wake!" Si Xianxian said irritably, "With your shouting, who wouldn't wake up?"

"Stop." Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke.

"Uh." Si Xianxian, who had just taken a step, stepped back, standing obediently outside the door.

Only allowing the provincial official to set fire, but not allowing common people to light lamps?

"I'm enough to wear him out, if you come in too, he wouldn't be able to breathe." Jiang Ruyi teased, seemingly in a good mood.

"Haa!!"

Si Xianxian: "..."

Lu Ran renewed his fighting spirit, suggesting while his blood surged into his eyes, "Now that you're awake, shall we prepare to go to the Heavenly Realm?"

"Don't you need some rest?" Jiang Ruyi was a bit hesitant, "You must be mentally exhausted, right?"

"I can withstand it; speed is crucial in warfare!" Lu Ran didn't hesitate, continued, "I'm worried about what the God Demons might do, best to strike the Evil Dog before the major shift in the battle.

In that case, we can equip our soldiers who have not yet become gods with Instant Teleportation and Invisibility Technique."

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi nodded lightly.

Indeed, no one knows when the good days of Ran Sect will end.

What the future situation will become, no one can provide a definite answer.

Instant Teleportation and Invisibility Technique will certainly be a major reliance for Ran Sect's soldiers!

Even in the event Ran Sect is exposed, and being explicitly surrounded by God Demons, these two techniques could still enable Ran Sect to maintain its current style.

Silently hunting God Demons in the dark!

Si Xianxian suddenly asked: "If we slow down our pace and stop for a while, would the God Demons become lax?

At least they won't be united, and gradually turn into scattered sand, right?"

Jiang Ruyi pondered for a moment, shook her head, pointing directly at the fundamental issue: "No, there's an external enemy."

"Oh, right." Si Xianxian mumbled.

The Faceless Jade Venerable has been attacking the God Demon camp, consistently expanding the victories, leaving no room for Ran Sect to pause.

"Haa!"

Si Xianxian: "..."

Why does my young master resemble an alarm clock~

Ringing every 30 seconds?

"You two come back first, I'll go gather the soldiers." Lu Ran renewed his fighting spirit, spoke in a deep voice, "I've been near Divine Mountain where the Nether Toad-Moon Spirit resides, this time heading to the battleground will be very fast.

Quickly convene in the garden, strategize targeting Nether Toad's characteristics, and come up with a battle plan."

"Alright." Jiang Ruyi, resting on Lu Ran's back, responded softly, a magnificent shadow unfolded within the small human body.

The terrifying energy enveloped Lu Ran, surging into his eyes.
