Chapter 37: Do I deserve it?

Jiang Lan ignored the woman who suddenly appeared behind him. He picked up an ancient book from the desk beside him and flipped through it slowly.

He still needs to make some careful plans regarding the Blood Immortal Sect ruins.

It's not that he is worried about not being able to intercept it, but he is considering how to make it happen. With his current strength, even if he finds the ruins of the Blood Immortal Sect, he will not be able to obtain the Blood Forbidden Book inside.

So he needs a reasonable reason to borrow external forces.

The woman stood quietly behind Jiang Lan without disturbing him from reading.

The sunlight gradually set, and a breeze blew in from the courtyard, gently caressing the strands of black hair by her ears.

Waves of subtle fragrance float in the air, refreshing the heart.

"You...are you sick again these days?"

After what seemed like a long time, her red lips beneath her veil gently opened and closed as she asked.

Her voice was nice, but it felt cold and emotionless, and she spoke every word very slowly.

After Jiang Lan integrated the memories, he was already accustomed to her personality and just hummed softly through his nose.

The woman's clear eyes fell on his face and whispered, "Don't force yourself..."

Jiang Lan glanced at her sideways.

Although he knew that this woman truly cared about him, he still felt... weird in his heart.

However, given his original body's personality, it was impossible for him to be nice to her in the short term.

Because as I recall, I was really annoyed with her and didn't want to have too much contact with her.

Li Mengning is the contemporary quasi-saint of Taiyi Sect and also her mother's direct disciple.

The Taiyi Sect is the leading immortal sect in the world today, with an extremely high status, a long heritage, and unfathomable background.

In the sect, there are many powerful people, whose strength overwhelms the world.

Seeing that Jiang Lan ignored her, Li Mengning hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Actually...actually, I think there are many clean girls in Yuyi City. I'll help you kidnap one."

"No need."

Jiang Lan waved her hand. In her memory, she was already accustomed to her "tiger words" and was not surprised at all.

As far as he could remember, Li Mengning had always been by his side because she had left Taiyi Sect to enter the secular world to comprehend the mundane world and temper her character.

The mysterious woman who kidnapped Su Qingyao a few days ago was none other than her.

Generally speaking, transcendent characters like saints like Li Mengning are all alternative candidates for the male protagonist.

But in the original plot, Li Mengning is ruthless and decisive in killing, and the male protagonist Lin Fan has been hunted down by her many times.

Because when Li Mengning appeared in the early stage, her strength was far beyond that of the male protagonist Lin Fan, and the skills and magical powers she practiced were extremely powerful.

The hero Lin Fan has a solid foundation since childhood and is rich in experience in actual life-and-death battles, which leads to him always running into setbacks.

Jiang Lan remembered that in the later plot, Lin Fan would break up with his mother because he pointed out the problem with Li Mengning's practice and told her that she was actually a top-notch cauldron prepared by Jiang Lan's mother for Jiang Lan.

In comparison, his mother in the plot is a pure villain, and her original body is so pure that she is like a little white flower that is not stained by mud.

However, even in this situation, Li Mengning never engaged in combat with his mother.

Even after Jiang Lan's death, he was determined to avenge him.

It was a pity that he was no match for Lin Fan and committed suicide on the spot after being defeated.

Do you deserve it?

When Jiang Lan recalled this episode, she just felt that she was not worthy.

In the original body's memory, there are quite a few memories related to Li Mengning, but they are all very vague.

I only remember that when he was young, there was indeed a little transparent tail following his mother. It was small, timid and silent, and did not like to talk. It was often scolded for being stupid, but it practiced very hard.

The kindhearted Jiang Lan would sometimes secretly find precious medicines such as golden wound medicine to help her apply the wound when she hurt her hand during sword practice. When she got scolded, he would also find her later and quietly encourage her...

My memory of anything else is very vague and I can hardly remember it.

Most of the original body's memories are related to his sister Jiang Ruxian. After all, one is an inconspicuous ugly duckling, while the other is as bright and dazzling as the bright moon in the sky.

"You ate meat today... Master told you not to eat meat." Li Mengning's low voice sounded again.

"Did you see me eat?"

Jiang Lan didn't know how she knew she had taken the medicinal food as soon as she came back.

Is your nose that sensitive?

"No." Li Mengning shook her head.

"Then I didn't eat it." Jiang Lan smiled.

“You ate…”

Li Mengning stared at him with her clear eyes and whispered, "If you eat too much meat, you will get sick. If you want to eat it, eat less."

"I picked some spiritual fruits for you on the way back. They are all washed very clean."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As she spoke, a bright light flashed between her slender white hands.

The Sumeru Ring suddenly shone brightly, and on the jade table in front of it, a pile of spiritual fruits appeared, which were crystal clear and fragrant.

Jiang Lan looked at her with a hint of anticipation, picked up one and took a bite.

Well, it is indeed sweet. It melts in your mouth and turns into a warm spring that flows to every part of your body.

It was rare that Jiang Lan did not resist his kindness.

The corners of Li Mengning's eyebrows curved slightly, which made her icy expression, which had never changed for thousands of years, seem to become a lot more lively in an instant.

"You came back so late, is it because you were delayed picking spiritual fruits on the way?"

Jiang Lan finished the spiritual fruit in his hand in a few bites and could clearly feel that there was more spiritual energy in his body.

After integrating the Fruit of Life, the source of his life is no longer the Seven Apertures Immortal Heart, and the spiritual energy in his body will not disappear inexplicably.

"Um……"

Li Mengning nodded, "I couldn't find the whereabouts of that person..."

With your current strength, how can you catch up with the speed of breaking through the void to escape?

Jiang Lan shook his head, not knowing whether this girl was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

Although Li Mengning is the quasi-saint girl of Taiyi Sect, she is still from the younger generation. Even a sixth-level strongman like Uncle Ying cannot stop Lin Fan.

But this stubborn guy followed Lin Fan's direction of escape that day and only came back today.

I also picked so many spiritual fruits for him on the way.

These spiritual fruits don't seem to appear in ordinary deep mountains. Could she have gone to the back mountain of some sect? Jiang Lan glanced at her, but her face covered by a veil was as cold as ice, without any emotion.

"Hmm?" Li Mengning looked at him strangely.

"The spiritual fruit is delicious, but don't steal it next time." Jiang Lan said.

"I didn't steal it."

Li Mengning replied, and then added, "I picked it on the way..."

The next morning, Jiang Lan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, swaggered towards the Su Mansion surrounded by a group of guards.

The practitioners and creatures along the way, whether they were caravans or passing disciples of sects, had no time to retreat for fear of running into them.

The long and crowded street was soon cleared of traffic except for shops and vendors.

The gatekeepers of the Su Mansion were so frightened that they didn't even dare to stop the man. The servant who reported the incident turned pale and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
