Zhizhi returned to her well-behaved mode, and Little Phoenix looked so innocent that Liu Yuan almost felt that what he had just seen and heard was an illusion.
"Ugh."
Liu Yuan rubbed his arm and said helplessly: "Save people first."
After much persuasion, Little Phoenix followed Liu Yuan and rescued Ling Jie. However, his cultivation was not as good as Liu Yuan's after all, so he was still in a coma and would probably need to rest for a long time.
The spark between Zhizhi and Lingguang never died down.
Liu Yuan was suffering while waiting for Zhiying and Huang Quan to come back. He just wanted to go back to Yuxu with Lingyao and take shelter. But before that, he needed to contact Wanjian City and let them make the necessary preparations to meet Liu Yuan.
But he never expected that before Liu Yuan injected spiritual power into the communication array, Duan Lanruo contacted him first.
Chapter 341: The Cat That Steals Fish Hammer
"..."
Liu Yuan looked at the flashing sword-shaped symbol on the magic circle, then looked at the ceiling, thinking that it was a good thing that he was alone now.
The communication array was fixed in the quiet room of the house. The place was not big, so Lingguang and Zhizhi were driven out to Lingyao's place. Even Hongfu was coaxed by him to go and play.
Could it be that after experiencing this kind of thing so many times, they have formed an early warning system?
Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and injected spiritual power into the magic circle, connecting the two sides, and the sword-shaped symbol was fixed from its flickering illusory state.
Although cultivators in the fusion stage can already transmit sound over thousands of miles, the distance between Wuyin Cliff and Wanjian City is still too far. What's more, he is still in the Spirit Transformation stage. His cultivation level in the fusion stage is so weak that he can only release his aura to intimidate others.
Just as he had speculated at the beginning, the attributes attached to the cards were just an empty shell. The higher you go, the more empty they become. In the end, you still have to rely on your own cultivation... Dual cultivation also counts as self-cultivation (I am sure).
The communication array was created to enable long-distance conversations. Its scientific name is "Sound Chasing Array", which is equivalent to the fairy version of a landline telephone. It only requires a little spiritual power to enable long-distance conversations.
Before this, when Liu Yuan wanted to contact Wanjian City and send things, he had to rely on specially raised high-level spiritual birds, and a round trip took half a month.
The next upgrade would be the "Floating Light Array" that could enable video calls, but time is tight now and there is no need to set up this array.
Duan Lanruo's voice came out from the formation, still full of mature charm: "Ling Yao, has Jun Xuan returned from the Nirvana Secret Realm?"
She had probably been in contact with Wuyinya quite often during this period, asking about Liu Yuan's news, so she immediately determined that Lingyao was on the other side.
Liu Yuan imagined the scene of the conversation between Duan Lanruo and Ling Yao.
It should be the most harmonious scene when these two most sensible women are together... right?
Liu Yuan coughed dryly and said with a smile: "It's me, I'm back."
The other party held their breath for a moment. Liu Yuan clearly heard the sound of inhaling and the sound of a teacup knocking over. After a flurry of activity, he heard Duan Lanruo's gentle voice with a hint of tears: "Hmm..."
At this moment, although they were thousands of miles apart, Liu Yuan felt that the beautiful woman with a high bun, gorgeous makeup, and elegant demeanor was right in front of him. Her eyes were red, and she was looking at him gently and attentively, reaching out her hand to gently hold his cheek.
Liu Yuan closed his eyes and immersed himself in this tenderness. In an instant, he began to miss his life in Wanjian City.
That was the comfort of a young man listening to the rain in a singing tower, with red candles and dim curtains.
"How have you been during this time?"
Liu Yuan asked softly.
Duan Lanruo had just heard Liu Yuan's voice and had not reacted violently, but when she heard these words, she suddenly burst into sobs and cried. After a while, she replied intermittently: "No, it's okay... I missed you so much, wu... What nonsense am I talking about? I'm fine, but, I'm just a little worried about you. The letter has been sent, Lingzhen and Chuichui are also very well behaved."
Even the most mature woman has a vulnerable side.
The dignified Lord of Wanjian City, a powerful warrior in the fusion stage, became incoherent and cried like a little girl in front of Liu Yuan because of a greeting.
Liu Yuan wanted to see Duan Lanruo's tearful appearance with his own eyes, and then hold this beautiful woman who was always mature and strong in his arms to comfort her. But unfortunately, the distance between them was thousands of miles, a gap that even the great men in the Tribulation Crossing Stage could not easily cross.
"That's good."
Liu Yuan had no choice but to regretfully tell Zhi Chunqiu about his next plans and Zhi Chunqiu's abnormality.
Duan Lanruo calmed down and said thoughtfully, "The seven sects are indeed being held back. As the largest sect, Yuxu Dao Sect has great prestige. We can't target them directly. But according to Zhi Chunqiu's character, he might do something desperate, but he is always shrewd... Even if we take action, if we don't catch him directly, I'm afraid he will cover it up."
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, so I will let Zhiying investigate first, and then let Huangquan discuss a business deal with him in person. Since the Lord of Biluo Mansion comes in person, he shouldn't have any doubts."
With Huang Quan's strength, it was more than enough for him to kill Zhi Chunqiu in person.
But what needs to be done now is to wipe out the Zhi Chunqiu faction within Yuxu. It is not enough to just kill him alone.
Moreover, doing so would be equivalent to causing a direct war between the Biluo Palace and the righteous path, which would be extremely disadvantageous to the Biluo Palace.
Therefore, the safest approach is to let Huang Quan induce Zhi Chunqiu to assassinate Sheng'e, and let him hand the handle to Liu Yuan himself.
Duan Lanruo had no objection to this, and would let the people in Jiange be ready at any time to let the seven sects launch an attack, leaving him no room for a comeback.
After the discussion, Liu Yuan asked, "By the way, how is Ci Ke now? I heard that her mother went to Wanjian City to look for her. I hope she didn't cause any trouble."
In fact, he had already heard about this matter when he was in the Jiuding Secret Realm, but from that time until now, he has been on the verge of life and death and has no time to ask about it.
Later, he heard that the head of the Xuanyin family went to Wanjian City to discuss a marriage. He guessed that Ye Ci Ke insisted on marrying out, but her mother disagreed, so they got into a dispute.
He also thought that since the matter was in Wanjian City, Duan Lanruo should be able to handle it. Out of trust in the City Lord, he did not ask any more questions.
Now Duan Lanruo happened to contact me actively, and I suddenly remembered it and brought it up.
Unexpectedly, Duan Lanruo paused, and then said with embarrassment: "I came to you to talk about this matter..."
"Ok?"
Liu Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect Duan Lanruo to come to him for this matter. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? She wouldn't really do anything wrong, right?"
Duan Lanruo lowered her voice and said, "No, it's not Ci Ke."
Liu Yuan vaguely felt that there was a sense of helplessness and a sense of being both amused and helpless in her tone.
A bad feeling flashed through his mind: "What happened?"
Duan Lanruo said: "Actually... it's Hammer Hammer."
"what?"
Liu Yuan frowned even more tightly. How could it be Hammer? What does this have to do with Hammer?
She's just a cute little kitty.
It’s not even her turn to be jealous, right?
How is the Xuanyin family's affairs related to her?
He was full of questions: "What happened to Chui Chui? Could it be that Ci Ke doesn't know how to tease cats, and made her angry, causing her to go berserk?"
Duan Lanruo's voice became more hesitant: "That's not the case. The two of them get along pretty well..."
Liu Yuan was even more confused: "What happened then?"
Duan Lanruo took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "It's because... Chui Chui cheated and the head of the Xuanyin family was angry."
"Eat on the sly?"
Liu Yuan was stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile: "That's it? They are just kids. Ci Ke was sulking because her food was taken away from her. The two of them were in a cold war? And then my mother-in-law got angry with her too?"
On the other side, Duan Lanruo looked at the empty porcelain bottle that had been accidentally broken in front of her, and she really didn't know how to talk about this matter.
Everything was planned well, and Ye Danqing was about to take Ye Ci Ke back home. Who could have known that such an accident would happen suddenly?
She said cautiously: "Jun Xuan, I need to tell you something."
Liu Yuan felt that her tone was a little off, but he didn't think much about it. It was just cheating, or at most a fight between children. What else could that be?
He still kept smiling and asked, "What's the matter?"
Duan Lanruo said: "In fact, at that time, I sent Jinlanwei to fight with you... in order to use the Yang power of the Xuanyang Pearl to make ointment, so that Ye Danqing would be able to take the ointment back and finally take over the entire Xuanyin family..."
"Etc., etc!"
Liu Yuan's smile froze as he digested the meaning of this sentence.
Jinlanwei and Yangli are easy to understand, but the ointment and the fait accompli are a bit confusing.
But if you think about it a little more and consider the context, it’s not that difficult, just a little hard to accept.
Duan Lanruo said: "Jun Xuan, do you understand? You won't blame me, right?"
"How could that be? You solved a problem for me, how could I blame you?" Liu Yuan forced himself to calm down. If this was the case, then wouldn't it be a good thing? He smiled again and said, "Then what? What does this have to do with Chui Chui cheating..."
He suddenly paused.
Stealing food?
What are you stealing to eat?
"She ate all the remaining ointment...
Duan Lanruo said this from the opposite side.
"???!!!"
Chapter 342 Just wait for me!
Liu Yuan twitched his lips. What on earth was this stupid dragon doing?
Ever since she caught the Spirit Jiang Yinglong and wanted to eat him last time, he felt that Chui Chui was a foodie, but he never expected that she really had no dietary restrictions and would eat everything.
I was so hungry that I even... even ate this as a snack?!
No, Liu Yuan calmed down. He seemed not to be able to blame Chui Chui. After all, according to Duan Lanruo, she had made an ointment, and since it was a fait accompli, it meant that he had to deceive Ye Danqing first.
This ointment fooled a strong person in the fusion stage and made her unable to detect it. So it is reasonable for a little kitty like Chui Chui, who is usually a little stupid, not to detect what is in it...
But no matter what, you can't eat something you don't even know what it is, right?!
It really is a stupid dragon!
"What about now? What's the situation now?" Liu Yuan asked.
Of course, he was not asking about Chui Chui, but his mother-in-law... Well, now it is probably hard to say for sure that it was his mother-in-law.
Anyway, she was asking about the situation of Ye Danqing, the head of the Xuanyin family. She was originally planning to use the bottle of ointment to solve the problem of the Xuanyin family's congenital weakness and short life due to the lack of yang energy in the body since ancient times, so that the Xuanyin family would stand on Liu Yuan's side and no longer oppose his marriage with Ye Ci Ke.
From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that Duan Lanruo actually intends to capture the Xuanyin family in one fell swoop and send them to Liu Yuan.
After all, if this was really done, Liu Yuan, as the only man in the Xuanyin family, would be able to easily capture this family full of women.
But now the ointment has been eaten up by Hammer Hammer...
Ye Danqing had no way of taking the ointment back to gain the trust of the entire family.
Duan Lanruo said helplessly from the opposite side: "Master Ye is very angry, but Chui Chui is not only your cat, but also a great demon in the fusion stage. Without causing a lot of damage, she can't do anything for the time being, so she is sulking now. I see her cheeks are about to bulge."
Hammer's combat effectiveness has improved amazingly...
However, he had never met the head of the Xuanyin family in the game before, and he didn't expect that he was quite cute.
The head of the Xuanyin family and the mother of a child was actually sulking because her things were stolen.
It seems that compared to Ye Ci Ke's pampered appearance, her mother seems more naive.
No wonder I was deceived by Duan Lanruo...
Liu Yuan muttered: "What should we do now?"
For a moment, both sides of the Sound Chasing Formation fell silent.
At this point, there is only one solution, right?
Liu Yuan looked up at the sky and said, "Do you really want me to make up another one?"
Duan Lanruo shook her head and said faintly, "It's not easy to make an ointment that can easily allow the fusion stage to skip a small stage. You should go north again. How long can you stay here?"
Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "If the matter of Yuxu Dao Sect was resolved, I could stay for a long time, but the battle between Shen Sifan and Bihuan Luo is approaching, and this battle to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect is very critical, so I have to go and take a look."
In this [Iron Horse Ice River] copy, too many characters died because of this.
The bento boxes are given out for free, and although they do not involve characters that can be conquered by players (which can be considered a bit of conscience on the part of the official to make money), some popular characters among the NPCs that cannot be conquered are killed by the script, causing countless players to cry out in pain that their wife/husband is gone.
Even if you wail and complain in the forum QQ group, it's useless.
For example, [Joyful Bodhisattva·Driving the Compassionate Boat Across the Sea of Bitterness·Watching the Moon] of the Jile Sect, this character is simply obsessed with many male players. They jointly requested for a strategy guide card, and then jointly requested for the player to revive the character after killing him in the later plots.
It’s a pity that the game company of "Shangyang" has always "listened to opinions", but after listening to them... Well, I listened to them, and I didn’t say anything about changing them.
It’s no wonder that the players are too envious, it’s just that she smells so good.
This beautiful woman in a cassock and a necklace, with a look of compassion, lowers her eyes and raises her fingers, sits cross-legged on a lotus platform, stretches out one of her white and tender feet towards you, and says, "I'm here to save you."
No one could refuse.
