Chapter 33: The Emotional Little Sister
It's summer, the big sun in the sky is shining with scorching rays, and all things are not only without any signs of decline under the power of the sun, but also full of vitality.
It's been over half a month since I left the Holy Land of Ten Extremes. Looking up at the sun star above his head, he felt a sense of dislocation in time and space. More than a year ago, he was still an ordinary person on Earth with a career that was gradually growing, but now, more than a year later, he found himself in a world like a mythological legend, becoming one of the members of the Longevity Army.
One is a world dominated by science and technology, the other is a world dominated by all kinds of mysterious ghosts and gods...
"Traveling through time is that simple!" Huo Ran sneered at himself, and then thought about the road ahead, whether to go find medicine to cure Li Yingying's cold or to go to the new habitat of the people of Tianqian Village first. After a moment, Huo Ran still felt it was better to go find the medicine first.
He made a decision, glanced back at the Ten Absolute Sacred Grounds hidden behind layers of formations, and then activated the powerful forces within his body. His body suddenly became light and agile, transforming into a gentle breeze that departed. This time he was a bit tight on time, having less than a year to find medicine for Yingying. After a year, he had to return to the Ten Absolute Sacred Grounds because a year later, there would be an End of the World Disciple Competition among the ten sacred grounds, and the winner would determine which sacred ground would take the first position!
He suddenly accelerated his magical powers while communicating with the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy through the records of the Qiankun diagram. This way, not only can he replenish his depleted magical powers at any time, but also find places where the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy is extremely dense. Generally speaking, places with dense heavenly and earthly spiritual energy often have spiritual objects.
At present, Huo Ran's cultivation of the Qiankun Tu Lu is still in its early stages, and its true power cannot be fully utilized. Once the Qiankun Tu Lu is cultivated to a certain level, it will be possible to control all things in heaven and earth, and with a wave of one's hand, mountains can be moved and seas filled, changing the landscape. Moreover, it can transform nothingness into somethingness, and silently and invisibly inscribe various magical arrays in the heavens! In other words, this Qiankun Tu Lu is simply an essential item for traveling, killing people, and plundering goods!
Of course, if you want to cultivate the Qiankun diagram to that level, I estimate that Huo Ran's cultivation has already reached a state of transcendence.
"Murder! Help!"
"Uncle, if you keep chasing me, my older brother will have to teach you a lesson!"
While sprinting, Huo Ran suddenly heard someone shouting and his eyes involuntarily turned to the side. He saw two figures chasing each other about a hundred meters away. The one running in front was a young girl, while the one chasing behind was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Seeing that the two were not coming towards him, Huo Ran let out a sigh of relief. There were too many strange things in this world, and as the saying goes, "mind your own business", he didn't want to get involved!
However, before Huo Ran could even finish his sentence, he caught a glimpse of the girl suddenly running towards him out of the corner of his eye, shouting "Qing Gege, Qing Gege, that big uncle behind me has been chasing me, hurry up and beat him!"
"You stinky girl, even if your boyfriend is here, I'll still teach you a lesson, humph!" The middle-aged man behind followed the girl towards Horan's direction, with an angry expression. Nine out of ten it was that girl who provoked him first, otherwise he wouldn't be so furious.
"Who's your boyfriend, psycho!" Horan muttered two sentences and ran away. Although the girl behind looked pretty, but out of nowhere came a girlfriend... Horan still thought it was better to keep a distance.
The girl saw Huo Ran but didn't come over to help herself, instead she pulled her legs and ran away. She couldn't help but stomp her feet, a colored ribbon flew from her hand towards Huo Ran, saying: "Qing gege, I know you're still angry with me, but...but as husband and wife for one day, how can you abandon me like this?"
A sense of danger suddenly enveloped him, and Huo Ran hastily turned his head, just in time to see the weakly glowing ribbon hurtling towards him at an incredible speed. Without thinking, he immediately changed direction and dodged to the left. However, the ribbon seemed to have grown eyes, whizzing past Huo Ran before suddenly curving back and wrapping itself around him, binding him tightly in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!"
He suddenly spoke in a low voice, cursing, the purple air sea inside his body churned and roared, and the majestic law power suddenly burst out.
"Bang!"
The power of the Six Paths was like a raging beast, bursting forth with colorful ribbons. Before he could appreciate the beauty of the scattered colored fabrics in the sky, Hao Ran's feet suddenly shook, and just as he was about to speed up, his right arm was suddenly grabbed by something. When he turned his head, he saw that the girl from before was gazing at him deeply.
"Brother Qing, I know I was wrong, just give me a chance!" The girl hugged Huo Ran's right arm, her bright and lively eyes misting up, as if tears would fall at any moment. Her appearance was so pitiful that it was hard to resist.
At this time, Huo Ran completely ignored the girl's eyes that could kill people in seconds. He just wanted to roar: Who did I provoke?
In just a few breaths, the middle-aged man had caught up, his body trembling with rage.
"You pair of adulterers, stop showing off your affection in front of me!" The middle-aged man glanced at Huo Ran and said fiercely: "You're also in cahoots with that stinky woman, you're not a good person either, you'll die!" As soon as he finished speaking, his fist, wrapped in a fierce aura, shot out.
The fist had not yet arrived, but the wind from it was already there. Just as he thought of greasing his feet, a great force suddenly came from behind him, and his body involuntarily welcomed that huge fist. If he were to be hit solidly, never mind dying, he would definitely be injured.
No need to think about it, it must be the girl's masterpiece. Seeing that he couldn't retreat, Huo suddenly greeted the girl and her family several times in his heart, gritted his teeth and swung his fist forward.
Rumble...
Two fists clashed, a burst of energy exploded, and the two men involuntarily retreated.
"Hey, mister!" Suppressing the surging blood in his body, he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the middle-aged man who was about to rush forward, and hastily pointed at the girl with a sly smile on her face, saying: "What did she do to you? If it's really her fault, I'll help you catch her!"
The middle-aged man, who was stopped by Huo Ran, had a lot of anger in his belly, but when he heard the sentence behind him, his face suddenly calmed down a bit, and he asked with some doubt: "Is what you said true?"
Just now, the two of them exchanged a blow. Although he had the upper hand, he also saw that the young man in gray and himself were the same, both having six realms of cultivation. The difference was that he was at the peak, while the other was in the middle period. Once they really fought, although he had absolute confidence in winning, it would not be easy to win, let alone the fact that there was a ghostly girl behind him. At this time, hearing that the other party wanted to help himself, he naturally felt delighted, but still wanted to listen to the other's explanation.
It seems that the middle-aged man didn't quite believe his words, but he also didn't continue to attack. Suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying: "Uncle, you can rest assured, I don't even know this stinky girl! You saw it earlier, if she hadn't stuck to me, I wouldn't have been involved in this matter at all!"
As if afraid that the middle-aged man still didn't believe him, Huo Ran suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at the black-clothed girl with a 'sad' face, saying: "You quickly tell this uncle that we don't know each other, otherwise..."
"Or else what?!" Hearing Huo Ran's threatening words, the girl not only didn't show a hint of fear, but instead took a step forward with her chest out, her small face full of determination: "Or else you can just kill me! Anyway, without you I won't be able to live on, it's better if I die!" After a pause, she whispered in a sobbing tone: "Don't worry, I won't hate you..."
Huoran's mouth twitched, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the middle-aged man's face was getting uglier and uglier as the girl spoke. He looked at this sudden girl with a pleading expression: "Miss, I beg you, just tell the truth!" Huoran's appearance was almost kneeling down to beg.
However, the girl was completely unimpressed by He Ran's words. At an angle where a middle-aged man couldn't see, she gave He Ran a sly smile before changing her expression again and said with extreme sorrow: "After I die, remember to bury me in the place where we first met."
As she spoke, she somehow produced a small wooden box and handed it to Huo Ran, saying: "This is the marrow-washing medicine I stole from my uncle. With this, your sister can quickly break through her marrow and then start cultivating!"
"My Washing Cream!" The middle-aged man's eyes shot out a fierce light when he saw the small wooden box in the girl's hand again, and then glared at Huo Ran viciously, apparently having thoroughly believed that the two were in cahoots.
He looked at the girl and the small wooden box in her hand, then at the middle-aged man with only fierce light in his eyes. He sighed, then under the girl's astonished gaze, he suddenly hugged her into his arms, turned his head to smile at the middle-aged man: "Sorry, uncle, I won't let you hurt my girlfriend."
