Chapter 120: It was Yue Jianli!
Chapter 120: It was Yue Jianli!
After Li Ran had eaten dinner, the sky gradually darkened.
He had the waiter boil water and bring the bathtub into his room. He soaked in it comfortably.
Although the barrel was the most ordinary oak, and the water was only boiling water, it could still help people to disperse their fatigue and calm their minds.
Thinking back to Lin Langyue’s condition during the day, Li Ran felt a little strange.
Lin Langyue’s cultivation had improved.
Everyone had their opportunities. Could it be that he could only breakthrough and not allow others to become stronger?
What surprised him was the change in her character.
The last time he saw her, she was still a Daoist nun who seemed to have no desire, but this time, she took the initiative to take the lead.
It was as if she wanted to compete with him for power.
The way she looked at Li Ran was also filled with a desire to win.
“Looks like not only does she want to beat me, she also wants to beat me in front of everyone.” Li Ran shook his head.
Instead, she was caught in the act.
The Tianshu Institute’s cultivation method was to forget one’s emotion, which was more than love.
They were not to be moved by their emotions or disturbed by them.
The more selfish, the more useful the cultivation.
This was their Heavenly Dao.
Hatred and desire for victory, wasn’t it a kind of anger and obsession?
Li Ran gently touched his right hand, and layers of ripples appeared on the water surface.
It was like Lin Langyue’s eyes couldn’t calm down for a long time.
He chuckled. “If she doesn’t leave this state, she will never have a chance to beat me.”
How could Lin Langyue not understand this?
However, Li Ran had already become her nightmare. If she could not personally end this matter, her mind would never be at rest.
If her heart was not calm, it would be even harder for her to break through, let alone catch up to Li Ran.
This was an endless cycle.
Li Ran shook his head and was too lazy to think about it.
What did it have to do with him?
If Lin Langyue wasn’t convinced, he could just beat her up.
His mind sank into his dantian, looking inside at the state of Heaven Seizing Technique.
One could only see that the dantian was full of qi, the transparent figure was still sitting cross-legged on the surface of the lake. Along with the circulation of the cultivation method, the golden and purple body was reflected.
That lake of qi seemed to be a little larger than when he had just broken through.
It seemed that with the improvement of his realm, the efficiency of the Heaven Seizing Technique would become higher.
“I wonder what it will be like to cultivate until the end. Could it be that it will form a sea of qi?” Li Ran thought to himself.
He sank his mind into the figure, and in an instant, the entire world became clear.
His mind seemed to have expanded several times, enveloping the entire Autumn Moon Tower. No movement could escape his senses.
This was the ability he had acquired after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Breaking the shell, reverting to infant form, was their first step in the Nascent Soul Realm.
The figure in his dantian could act as an amplifier, increasing his perception to a certain extent.
It was a very practical function.
“Huh?”
At this moment, Li Ran caught a hint of movement.
After carefully examining it, he couldn’t help but have a strange look in his eyes.
“This…”
—
Yue Jianli walked back and forth in the room, looking very apprehensive.
“Just now, Li Ran had someone send a bucket of water. He should be taking a bath right now… Wait a minute, could it be that he was taking a bath with that demonic woman from Joyous Unity Sect?
“Joyous Unity Sect has always been licentious, and that witch is one of the best. She must be able to do this!”
“Why else would she live next door to Li Ran?”
The more she thought about it, the more likely it was.
When she imagined the two of them bathing together, she wished she could rush in with her sword.
“No, calm down.” Yue Jianli tried her best to control her emotions and quietly leaned against the wall to eavesdrop.
However, it was unusually quiet next door. There was no sound at all.
“Did he sleep so early?”
She hesitated for a moment, then silently opened the door and crept towards Li Ran’s room.
She quietly leaned against the crack in the door and opened her eyes wide.
Before she could see what was inside, the door was suddenly pulled open, and Yue Jianli, who was so engrossed in it, fell to the ground.
Li Ran was wearing a bathrobe as he looked at her expressionlessly.
“……” The air became quiet.
*Cough cough*
Yue Jianli got up and said awkwardly, “You haven’t slept yet? I happened to be passing by. Right, passing by. Hur Hur, why is this place so slippery…”
After saying that, she turned around to leave.
Li Ran grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into the room.
Then, he slammed the door shut.
—
In the room.
Li Ran hugged her shoulders and looked at her.
Yue Jianli stood at the corner of the wall, looking like an elementary school student, weak and helpless.
“Go ahead, peeping tom. What are you trying to do?” Li Ran asked.
Yue Jianli blushed and said angrily, “Who is a peeping Tom? I’m just passing by. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Passing by?”
Li Ran narrowed his eyes. “First, you are eavesdropping on the wall, then you are through the door. Just passing by? Why didn’t I notice that you have this kind of hobby?“
Yue Jianli was stunned. “How did you know?”
Then, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth…
Faced with Li Ran’s faint smile, she turned her head and said, “That’s right, so what if I peeked? Who told you to hook up with that fox spirit!”
Li Ran was dumbfounded. “??”
“What vixen, what hookup?”
He was dumbfounded.
Yue Jianli snorted coldly and said, “Still pretending! During the day, Qin Ruyan was about to stick to you! She even deliberately got a room next to you. Wasn’t she just trying to do something that wasn’t to be known?!“
“???”
Li Ran finally understood.
No wonder this little girl had treated him coldly all day. It was all because of this.
He was both angry and amused. “I was wondering why you didn’t feel right today. So you’re jealous!”
“Jealous?” Yue Jianli blushed and stammered, “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not jealous!”
“Then why did you lie down to peek at the door?” Li Ran asked.
“I….” Yue Jianli hesitated for a long time but could not answer.
Li Ran shook his head and said, “I’m not familiar with that Qin Ruyan. I’ve only met her once, and I even killed her fellow disciples.”
Yue Jianli was stunned. “Really? Are you not familiar with each other?”
“Of course, I don’t need to lie about something like this,” Li Ran said frankly.
“Mm, I’ll just have to trust you…”
Yue Jianli heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, and her eyes flashed.
Li Ran smiled and said, “You should be relieved now?”
Yue Jianli turned her head shyly and said in a low voice, “I have nothing to worry about. It has nothing to do with me…”
Li Ran looked at her and was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door.
Dong dong.
“Sheng Zi Li, have you rested? I cannot sleep, I have something to talk to you about.”
The charming voice belonged to Qin Ruyan!
The room was quiet for a moment.
Yue Jianli’s face was grim as she gritted her teeth and said, “Li Ran, you big liar!”
Li Ran: “…”
