Chapter 60 Taking the Blame
After thinking for a while, Jiang Lan shook his sleeves lightly, and a crystal clear moon pearl suddenly appeared in his palm.
A soft and bright light spread out, illuminating the area within ten feet around him.
"Mr. Jiang?"
Xiao Yingyue's voice came from not far away.
I don't know if it was Jiang Lan's illusion, but I always felt that her voice seemed to be a little... trembling? She was so brave, she had already followed him, but she was still afraid? Or was she deliberately confusing herself? "I'm here." Jiang Lan responded.
After thinking for a while, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and at the same time, he circulated his magic power. A mouthful of blood spurted out, overflowing from the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes, and his face became paler.
The white clothes, which were already stained with blood, looked even more eerie.
Jiang Lan naturally didn't trust Xiao Yingyue, so he wanted to test her.
The fact that Xiao Yingyue left a backup plan when she was treating Lin Fan was enough to show that she was meticulous and cautious.
After witnessing my strength with her own eyes, she still dared to follow me like this. There was no guarantee that she wouldn't have other intentions.
If she could trust him, Jiang Lan would naturally not do anything to her. At most, he would leave a restriction on her or ask her to make a vow to protect her inner demons.
Otherwise, he would not allow someone he did not trust to know his current secret.
When Xiao Yingyue heard the response coming from afar, she felt relieved and her tense heart finally settled down.
In fact, she couldn't tell clearly whether it was Jiang Lan there.
The poisonous miasma was too deep and too dense, and only a vague shadow could be seen.
She lost all her cultivation and could hardly see. After she rode the Jade Deer to the Abyss, she regretted her decision.
She didn't know why she was so impulsive and followed him.
After she calmed down, she secretly sighed that Jiang Lan was very well hidden and his strength was hard to guess.
And now she is almost no different from an ordinary weak woman.
She once had a high level of cultivation and great strength. She had passed through many dangerous places and faced various dangers, but she was able to remain calm and deal with them calmly.
But it was the first time that I, as an ordinary person, groped my way forward carefully in such a deep and dark place where I could hardly see my hand in front of me.
She was still a little scared in her heart.
The endless darkness always amplifies people's fear of the unknown. After all, she is also a woman...
In particular, the bottom of the abyss was filled with poisonous miasma, and the ground was littered with corpses, rubble, poisonous insects, snakes and ants.
After the Jade Deer arrived here, no matter how she stimulated it, it refused to move forward even half a step.
There was no other way, Xiao Yingyue could only lead it and slowly move towards the depths of the abyss.
The cliffs on both sides were dead silent. The roars of monsters that used to be heard one after another were now as quiet as if they were dead.
Only the dark green pupils flashed in the darkness from time to time, carrying with them a fishy and evil smell that was nauseating.
Xiao Yingyue forced herself to remain calm and groped her way forward. She had no idea where Jiang Lan was at the time.
She just thought that if he really died in the belly of the demon king, then if she chased him, she would just be giving him a free meal.
It would be ridiculous if she, a person with the cultivation level of the seventh level of Dharma Realm, were to die here.
"Master Jiang, where are the assassin Lin Fan and the demon king?"
The light of the Moon Pearl is extremely soft, forming a small, reassuring area in the darkness.
When Xiao Yingyue came to Jiang Lan's side leading the Jade Deer, he was sitting cross-legged on a piece of blue stone with his eyes slightly closed. Wisps of blood-colored mist were rising from his body, as if he was healing his wounds.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air, but there was no sign of the Sky Blue Nether Python and Lin Fan.
"They are all dead." Jiang Lan opened his eyes, looked at her and replied.
Xiao Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Lan, whose face was pale and calm, but her heart was slightly moved.
Before, she was so busy following that she forgot something extremely important.
Jiang Lan hid it too deeply.
In today's Daxia, there are probably no more than a handful of people who know his secret.
Would he allow himself to know his secret? "However, no matter how talented and brilliant he is, at such a young age, he killed a sixth-level demon king and the unpredictable Lin Fan, so the injuries he suffered should be serious..."
"Although he does have a dark heart, I don't think he's the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them."
And just as the thought flashed through Xiao Yingyue's mind.
Jiang Lan's injury seemed to have been aroused again. A trickle of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth again. His face became even paler. His sitting body swayed slightly and he was about to fall down.
Seeing this, Xiao Yingyue stepped forward, supported him, and asked softly, "How is Mr. Jiang's injury?"
Jiang Lan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "It's nothing serious, just rest for a while."
Xiao Yingyue's pair of sharp autumn eyes drooped slightly and she let go of Jiang Lan.
She was a little hesitant at the moment, and then she sighed slightly, and decided to take a gamble this time, and said, "Master Jiang, there are many healing pills in my Xumi Ring, and the effect is very good, but now I have lost all my cultivation and cannot open it..."
"It's in the corner, in the purple jade bottle."
As she spoke, a gleaming Sumeru ring appeared in her fair jade hand.
Jiang Lan glanced at her with a hint of surprise, then hid the strange look in his eyes, took it calmly, and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiao."
Just in case, he still used his magic power to wrap his spiritual sense and probed in, and then he was stunned.
Noticing the expression on Jiang Lan's face, Xiao Yingyue was also slightly stunned. Then, as if she thought of something, a hint of rosy red suddenly appeared on her fair and crystal ears.
However, there was still no sign of abnormality on her face, and she seemed very calm and composed.
"I didn't expect that Miss Xiao also likes these shark silk clothes. They are as thin as cicada wings, as rosy as fog, and really cool and breathable. I will ask someone to send some new styles to Miss Xiao later."
Jiang Lan smiled gently, glanced at Xiao Yingyue's tightly wrapped body, and finally his eyes fell on her legs that looked particularly slender and straight.
In fact, he had not expected that on the other side of the space in the Sumeru Ring, there were actually a lot of girls' clothes.
There were even silk stockings as thin as gauze, but they seemed a little too long... stockings? Xiao Yingyue's ears blushed slightly, but her face was serious and she said, "Mr. Jiang, have you forgotten the important matter?"
After saying this, he took back the Sumeru Ring as if snatching it away.
In fact, she had only seen the female disciples of Medicine King Valley wearing them before, and out of curiosity, she ordered people to buy a few pieces from the mermaid tribe's business building. However, she had never tried them on and felt they were too bold, so she put them aside in a corner.
I didn't expect to be caught by Jiang Lan today.
"In comparison, I think this is the real deal."
Jiang Lan shook his head slightly, took out the purple jade bottle, poured out a pill with a strong elixir fragrance and swallowed it directly, but it was wrapped in magic power and he did not swallow it right away.
The elixir is filled with a faint fragrance and a strong breath of life. It is indeed a miraculous medicine for healing.
It seems that Xiao Yingyue didn't do anything.
Seeing that Jiang Lan did not doubt and took the pill directly, Xiao Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief. However, Jiang Lan's words still made her want to glare at him.
She then looked around and felt a slight headache.
The bodies of Lin Fan and the demon python were missing, probably destroyed by Jiang Lan.
But what should she do to solve her own problems now? Moreover, the news records about Rouge Benzodiac were also cut off.
"Miss Xiao, you are giving me elixirs to heal my wounds. Aren't you afraid that I will attack you after I recover?" Jiang Lan's body shook slightly, and the torn and bloodstained robes turned into powder instantly.
As he spoke, he slowly took out clean white clothes from his Sumeru Ring and put them on.
Xiao Yingyue's eyes shifted slightly and she turned her head away, but after thinking for a moment, she stopped.
It was fair and aboveboard, so what was there to be ashamed of? Jiang Lan's skin was like jade, but it was abnormally pale.
If Xiao Yingyue had not witnessed with her own eyes the scene where he blocked Lin Fan's sword with his bare hands, she would never have realized that his physical strength was so strong.
"Will Mr. Jiang do it?" She just asked back to Jiang Lan's question.
"Of course not. Miss Xiao has shared my hardships and helped me hold back Lin Fan. How could I be ungrateful?" Jiang Lan smiled slightly.
Xiao Yingyue snorted inwardly. Sharing hardships? She was the one being beaten, but he was just watching.
At this point, Jiang Lan seemed to have thought of something, and paused before saying, "However, I have something I would like to ask Miss Xiao for help."
Xiao Yingyue was slightly startled, with suspicion in her beautiful eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?"
“Take the blame.”
"???"
