Volume 2 - The Nine Realms of Earth (1) Chapter 30 Go to Cloud City
Bidding farewell to Nangong Wang, the chariot slowly walked to the gate of the Blue Mansion, Lan Yue was already waiting at the gate of the Mansion, and seeing Chu Ran returning safely, Lan Yue's hanging heart finally let go. These days, Lan Yue has always paid attention to the situation at the border through the network of Lan Mansion, and when she learned that Nangong Wang was seriously injured, Lan Yue's heart hung in her throat, but when she heard that Chu Ran replaced Nangong Wang to fight Qiu Yi, Lan Yue even hung her heart above the nine heavens. Chu Ran got out of the car and looked at Lan Yue, who was waiting outside the mansion with a haggard face, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart warmed, and he had an urge to go forward and hug Lan Yue into his arms, but thinking of Da Ke who was still in Lan Xing, his reason finally suppressed his emotion.
Chu Ran and Lan Yue looked at each other without saying a word, only a thousand lines of tears, of course, only Lan Yue shed tears, and Chu Ran's old men were not so easy to cry. Chu Ran smiled at Lan Yue, and without any extra words, the two of them entered the mansion and returned to their respective rooms. The two tossed and turned, unable to sleep, Chu Ran was planning how to gain military exploits and prestige, and Lan Yue felt lost and sad because Chu Ran had just returned and was about to leave. 'What's wrong with me?' Senior brother was about to leave this world, why am I so sad? While thinking, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of Lan Yue's eyes, "Could it be that I already like Senior Brother?" But what I've always liked is Nangong Wang? When did this change occur? ’
Lan Yue didn't think about it anymore, got up and came to her parents' door, knocked on the door, and after Lan Father opened the door, he saw his tearful daughter, he was very distressed, and he said in his heart which turtle king bastard made his baby daughter sad. Lan Yue told her parents the news that Chu Ran was about to leave, and urged them to quickly give him the spirit stone that she promised to give Chu Ran. Lan Zhanye understands that his daughter is reluctant to let Chu Ran leave, in fact, why can't he be, he originally expected to be able to promote Lan Yue and Chu Ran to become a Taoist couple, but now it seems that there should be no fate, everything is just his own imagination. As a father, Lan Zhanye didn't know how to comfort his daughter for the first time, so he had to let her vent the sadness in her heart.
After a night of crying, Lan Yue repacked her mood to face Chu Ran, she knew that as long as he could go to the upper realm smoothly in the future, there would naturally be a day when she would see Chu Ran again, so in the following days, Lan Yue always had a smile on her face, and practiced with Chu Ran like water, while Tai Xuan used the method of concealment to constantly guide on the side. During this period, Lan Zhanye found Chu Ran alone and gave him a spirit card containing 100,000 first-grade spirit stones, which could have been directly given to a six-grade spirit stone, considering that some of these first-grade spirit stones can be used as trading currency, and some can be used to temporarily replenish the spiritual energy, if only a six-grade spirit stone is given, once the spiritual energy in it is absorbed, it can no longer be used for trading, and at first Nangong Ye gave Chu Ran the space magic ring is also the same meaning.
Ten days later, Nangong Wang came to the Blue Mansion again, because Chu Ran had previously made meritorious service at the border pass, Nangong Ye easily asked for a conquest order, in view of Nangong Ye's prestige and the existence of an in-law relationship with the royal family, the royal family also specially arranged a royal flying boat to send Chu Ran to Cloud City, and the treatment was so high that it can be imagined. "Senior brother, this time I went to Cloud City with you, I already feel that I have found an opportunity to break through, and I want to completely break through to the Yin and Yang Realm by fighting with the brute beasts." Seeing that Nangong Wang's excitement was beyond words, Chu Ran was really happy for him, but once he went to the battlefield, he would not have a sect to mediate like the battle at the border pass, but really fought with his life, and if there was a slight mistake, it would be a permanent burial of the brute desert.
Seeing that Nangong Wang and Lan Yue were talking happily, Chu Ran silently communicated with Taixuan, and after the battle of the border pass, Chu Ran hoped that Taixuan could promise himself to pass the meteor to Nangong Wang, in order to increase the means of saving his life. "You kid gave away Lao Tzu's exercises again, you are really a proper loser, a rebel, other people's disciples are all sect exercises are strictly confidential, you are good, you send your own exercises out, Lao Tzu really wants to slash you with a sword!" Listening to Taixuan's angry words, in line with the mentality of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Chu Ran kept smiling at Taixuan, and he was a stupid boy. In the end, Taixuan compromised, and said in his heart, "There is the existence of Taoism, as long as this kid is not publicized, he will definitely be able to step on a new height, and the martial arts or something will follow him, anyway, when he enters the high realm, he will learn higher-level martial arts, as long as this kid does not pass on the Taixuan decision to others, otherwise where should my old face go?"
In this way, after getting Taixuan's consent, Chu Ran silently called Nangong Wang aside alone, and then silently recited the meteor footwork to Nangong Wang, Nangong Wang was like a treasure, and almost knelt down, looking at the blue moon next to him with a question mark on his face. Before leaving, Chu Ran and the others were invited by the monarch to participate in the state banquet with the highest level in Anlan Country to reward the heroes who returned from the border pass. The state banquet is set up in the huge square in front of the main gate of the royal city, in addition to Chu Ran a few people, the entire royal capital of the dignitaries, the family are invited by the royal family, to participate in the state banquet, the reason why so many dignitaries are invited, one is to promote the merits of Chu Ran and others, and the other is to follow the practice of the Anlan royal family, but after welcoming a victory, the royal family must hold a state banquet, and the people are happy, and the world participates in the grand event!
A huge platform was erected on top of the square, which was filled with items for the exclusive use of the royal family, and the members of the royal family could stand on the platform and overlook the whole square, which was the pride of the royal family. Of course, Chu Ran, as the protagonist, although he is not a member of the royal family, is still arranged in the royal family's area, occupying the first seat, with a higher status than the prince and the monarch of the neighboring countries. After Chu Ran sat down, he saw Nangong Wang, and there was a woman with a veil sitting next to her, who must be a member of the royal family, and sat with Nangong Wang, thinking that she was the third princess of the royal family. Although he can't be with Lan Yue, in Chu Ran's opinion, Nangong Wang still has picked up a treasure, although he has a veil to cover his face and can't see his face clearly, Chu Ran can feel that the third princess must also be a first-class beauty with her temperament, and her figure is not to mention, her willow waist and hips are upturned, her head is bowed and her feet are missing, her skin is fair, and her eyes are like a bright moon!
Chu Ran couldn't help but swallow his saliva, to be honest, Chu Ran is also a lustful person, and he can't pull out his eyes when he sees a beautiful woman, but fortunately, he has always adhered to the bottom line, just take a look, and he can't think about it. Chu Ran glanced at Nangong Wang, which means: Xiao Wangzi, you can do this, you have really earned such a big beauty. Nangong Wang was speechless for a while...
The state banquet lasted all night, during the banquet, the monarch gave Chu Ran a million first-grade spirit stones, at dawn, Chu Ran packed his bags, said goodbye to the Lan family's father and daughter, and followed Nangong to look at the chariot, Lan Yue pretended to be calm, and watched the chariot disappear out of sight, although she was reluctant in her heart, but she knew that the road ahead was long, and there would always be a reunion day, and the current Blue Moon was to hurry up and improve her cultivation and catch up with Chu Ran's pace as soon as possible. The current Blue Moon is confident, not only has the blessing of a very high-level martial art for the entire Yunqing Realm, Chu Ran also taught her the Meteor Footwork the night before leaving, and with hope, Blue Moon began her own wonderful cultivation path.
The royal flying boat was moored at the royal airport, Chu Ran boarded the ship with Nangong Wang, and as the flying boat slowly rose, Chu Ran's heart became extremely heavy, because he was about to face a more brutal war, which was his first time. After about three days and three nights of flying, the flying boat was once again raised, and Chu Ran, who was standing on the side of the ship, saw a magnificent huge city standing above the clouds, no less than a royal capital, and below it was a huge barrier that emitted a faint white light. It was not clear on the ground before, but at this moment, Chu Ran could see it clearly, and the defensive barrier was like a big bowl upside down on the brute desert, locking the brute beasts in the desert tightly under the barrier.
When he came to the city gate, Chu Ran saw that the city gate was clearly engraved with three simple characters - Cloud City......
