Chapter 209: The Panic of Yi Qinglan, the Crisis in the Forest!

Yi Qinglan felt wronged.

Yesterday, he said she was cute, but today, she became cold?

Although she was not close to Li Ran, she had done many things for him in public and in private.

She did not hesitate to confront Sheng Ye and turn against Chen Yundao on the spot.

Her personality was a little cold, but that was because of her nature. Coupled with her cultivation and forgetting about her emotions, it was inevitable that she would feel alienated.

But it shouldn’t be described as “cold”, right?

“It’s because this poor Daoist didn’t give you a present? Alright, so be it. This poor Daoist doesn’t care.” Yi Qinglan turned her head away from him.

His face was expressionless, but his heart was sour.

“This heartless fellow!”

Li Ran didn’t notice her abnormality. He shook his head and said, “Gifts aren’t important. What’s important is your intentions.”‘

Yi Qinglan glanced at him and snorted, “This poor Daoist doesn’t have any intentions towards you!”

Li Ran said, “That’s why I said Daoist Yi was cold. I couldn’t bear to part with you, but you wanted to send me away.”

“You can’t bear to part with me?” Yi Qinglan’s heart skipped a beat as she stammered, “You, don’t talk nonsense. This poor Daoist sees that you are clearly reluctant to part with those little deacons!”

Li Ran said seriously, “I’m not talking nonsense. I even prepared a gift for Daoist Yi!”

“A gift? For poor Daoist?”

A hint of joy flashed across Yi Qinglan’s eyes as the corners of her lips curled up.

“This poor Daoist doesn’t need your gift,” she said calmly.

“This was carefully prepared by me. Are you sure you don’t want it?””

“…Cough cough Since you’re already prepared, this poor Daoist can barely accept it.”

Li Ran’s smile deepened as he looked at her. He took a step forward and opened his arms.

Yi Qinglan was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

Li Ran said seriously, “This is the gift I prepared. A warm hug.”

“???” Yi Qinglan’s brows twitched.

What do you call careful preparation?

She knew this guy was unreliable!

“Forget it, this poor Daoist doesn’t need…” Before she could finish, her expression suddenly froze.

Li Ran picked up the Red Line and scratched his wrist.

The throbbing from the depths of her soul made her momentarily lose her senses.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Ran stepped forward and hugged her.

Yi Qinglan’s body tensed up as her heart beat violently. Her eyes were filled with panic.

She said indignantly, “Little thief, let this poor Daoist go!”

Just as she was about to push him away, Li Ran whispered, “Daoist Yi, I will miss you.”

Yi Qinglan was stunned.

Everything that happened between the two of them appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that he couldn’t raise his strength at all.

She turned her head. “This poor Daoist won’t miss you at all.”

Although she said that, she didn’t struggle. Instead, she let him hug her.

After a while, Li Ran let go.

Yi Qinglan heaved a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, he didn’t do anything excessive. Otherwise, this poor Daist would have…”

At that moment, Li Ran said with a smile, “The taste of Daoist Yi’s body is really good. It makes people want to take a bite.”

Yi Qinglan’s face turned red as she gritted her teeth. “Shameless!”

With a wave of her sleeve, the wind blew Li Ran away.

His figure flew into the distance amidst a series of screams.

Only after he completely disappeared did Yi Qinglan rest weakly on the tree trunk.

Her pair of bright eyes sparkled, and her red face could not even hide her veil.

She lowered her head dejectedly and muttered, “This poor Daoist… What should I do?”

Since she was a child, she had practiced cultivation and forgotten about her emotions. Not to mention coming into contact with a man, she had never even thought of a thing.

In the end, she was hugged by Li Ran.

This made her heart full of confusion.

After sitting alone on the mountain peak for a long time, Yi Qinglan managed to calm down.

Her body flashed and she returned to his residence.

When he saw the big bed in front of her, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

When Li Ran left, she didn’t take it with him. He even placed it in the corner of the room.

“Who has a bed with them? This guy is really greedy for ease.” Yi Qinglan wanted to throw it out with a wave of her hand, but she suddenly thought of something and hesitated.

She hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the bedside.

“What’s so comfortable about this? It shouldn’t be any different from sleeping on the ground, right?”

“Uh… this poor Daoist only wants to verify it…”

She looked around with a guilty conscience and carefully laid down.

It had to be said that Li Ran really knew how to enjoy himself.

This mattress was a top quality product, with moderate hardness.

Even though she had fallen into the trap, it could still give her body enough support. Even if she laid down for a long time, she would not feel tired.

Li Ran’s breath still lingered on the pillow, making her blush and her heart race.

“Seems like… it is quite comfortable?”

The sunlight shone on her warm body. When she recalled the bright smile, Yi Qinglan covered her hot cheeks.

Her heart trembled again.

This poor Daoist sighed softly. “This poor Daoist is really done for this time…”

—

In the south of Central Plains…

In the dense jungle, a figure was flying through the forest, his body enveloped in a faint white light and suppressing his aura to the lowest level.

From time to time, he looked behind him with a panicked expression.

It was as if someone was chasing after her.

After rushing out nearly five hundred miles in one breath, her spirit power was somewhat lacking, so she could only temporarily stop.

The black veil gently slid down, revealing a delicate and charming face.

It was Qin Ruyan.

At this moment, her face was pale. She took out a pill and put it in her mouth, trying her best to recover her spirit energy.

At the same time, she looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, she noticed something and frowned.

“No, this forest is too quiet!”

There wasn’t even a trace of the chirping of birds or insects in the surroundings. The air was faintly oppressive, and even the sunlight on her body felt cold.

“Not good!” Qin Ruyan immediately stood up.

Swish!

A sharp whistle sounded in the air, and several cold rays of light shot over, sticking to the tip of her nose and embedded into the tree.

Boom!

The huge ancient tree was directly blown apart.

A trace of cold sweat appeared on Qin Ruyan’s forehead as she suddenly turned around.

A woman walked out from behind the tree. She smiled and clapped. “Senior Sister Qin’s cultivation is so deep. After running for so many days, her spiritual power hasn’t dried up yet.”

That woman’s appearance was charming. She wasn’t much inferior to Qin Ruyan’s. However, there was a trace of flirtatiousness between her eyes and her actions were slightly frivolous.

Just as she spoke, a middle-aged man flew over, blocking Qin Ruyan’s path of retreat.

That person’s smile was sinister. “Holy Maiden Qin really can run!”

A trace of despair flashed through Qin Ruyan’s eyes.

If it was just this woman, she wouldn’t be afraid at all, but this man was at the peak of Deity Transformation.

She was only at the perfection stage of the Golden Core Realm. She was two realms away from being able to fight back.
