Chapter 97: It’s hard to have a girlfriend
Leng Wuyan hid herself and followed Li Ran back to his residence.
She stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time.
But in the end, she held back from meeting him.
She knew Li Ran’s charm.
He was handsome and had a high talent. This time, he defeated Lin Langyue and became the first-ranked Heavenly Devil on the Heavenly Devil Rankings.
It was unknown how many female cultivators wanted to form a bond with him.
Not to mention the distance, in this sect, which female disciple didn"t covet the body of the Sheng Zi?
If it weren"t for the restrictions of the sect, something even more outrageous than the Joyous Unity Sect would have happened.
"Mm, I can"t easily forgive him. Otherwise, I don"t know how many girls he"ll hook up with.” Leng Wuyan made up her mind and quietly returned to her bedroom.
—
"Ai~"
Li Ran propped his chin up, unable to move.
"It"s over. The Sect Master didn"t even respond to my gift. Looks like she"s really angry…"
The gift was carefully prepared by him.
To finish carving that stone, he had failed countless times, and even the stone gate in Li’s family secret grounds was nearly cut clean by him.
Originally, he thought that he could fight for leniency, but who would have thought that it would be like throwing a stone into the sea and not receiving any splash.
In the past, Leng Wuyan had always been angry and jealous, but she had never been so cold-hearted.
"Why don"t you beat me up and chop me twice?"
Li Ran rubbed his hair.
As he recalled the details of how the two of them interacted with each other, a light flashed in his mind.
"Yes!
"This will move her!"
Li Ran spread out a piece of paper and dipped his brush in ink. After some thought, he began to write and draw.
—
At sunset, the sky gradually darkened.
Demon Peak also lit up with lights.
"Sheng Zi, don"t make things difficult for me. The Sect Master really doesn"t want any guests." The guard looked helpless.
Li Ran shook his head and took out a sandalwood box. "I"m not here to ask for an audience, but to trouble you to hand this over to the Sect Master."
"I see."
The guard took it and nodded. "Okay, no problem."
Li Ran looked through the window. The lights in the palace were flickering, but he could not see his master.
Leng Wuyan laid on the bed and carefully examined the stone sculpture in her hand.
"How could I be so ugly? Idiot, how stupid."
Even though she said that the smile on his face could not be hidden.
Looking at the half-sugar man in the stone sculpture, she couldn"t help but recall the scene of their first date.
Li Ran took a bite and bit off the makeup on the candy man"s face… Leng Wuyan blushed and her heart skipped a beat as she rolled on the bed with the sculpture in her arms.
"Are we… kissing?
"No, not at all. At most, it can only be considered an indirect kiss.”
"What would it feel like if I kissed him?"
Just as Leng Wuyan was having her fantasies, there was a knock.
She immediately sat upright.
The guard carefully walked in and respectfully said, “Sect Master, I"ve disturbed your rest.”
"What is it?" Leng Wuyan asked.
The guard handed over a box. "Sheng Zi asked me to give you this."
Leng Wuyan was taken aback.
Another gift?
"Put it down."
"Yes." The guard put it down and left.
Leng Wuyan took the sandalwood box, her eyes full of smiles.
"Tsk, do you think you can move me by giving me a few more gifts?"
"Let"s see what you"re giving this time…"
She looked at the box carefully and felt that it looked a little familiar.
All of a sudden, she remembered that it was the same as the pillbox that Li Ran had originally put in the shadow stone.
Recounting the confession, Leng Wuyan"s heart skipped a beat.
She opened the box. This time, there were no abnormalities or any light. She saw a booklet lying quietly inside.
It was a stack of rice paper bound together.
The paper was also reinforced, making it much harder and more flexible.
Leng Wuyan opened the book and saw a picture on it.
The painting was of a woman looking at the railing. In front of her was a snowy mountain.
The brushstrokes of this painting were very strange. It was not the kind of painting that was popular in the mortal world but was drawn with a thin demonic fox brush.
Using the most concise lines could produce a very realistic effect.
She showed off the woman"s cold beauty perfectly.
Leng Wuyan"s eyes flashed with astonishment. "I didn"t expect Ran"er to have such ability."
She flipped back, and the scenes appeared before her eyes. From the moment Li Ran confessed to her, the two of them had gotten along with each other bit by bit.
However, there was a lot of similarity in length, but there was a slight difference in movements.
Leng Wuyan slowly flipped through it, her expression sometimes shy, sometimes happy, sometimes resentful.
At the end of the day, she still wanted more.
"I didn"t expect him to remember every moment of our relationship…"
Leng Wuyan"s lips curled into a smile as her eyes sparkled.
At this moment, she noticed that there was still content on the back of the last page.
There was a small line written on it.
[Flip the alb.u.m, press your thumb against the edge and quickly flip through it.]
Below, there was a sketch set of sketches underneath that would create a motion upon flipping the pages*.
[TLN: I’m a.s.suming it’s a flipbook, created from when the drawer draws picture frame by frame per page, and when the page is flipped at a fast pace, each frame is flipped so fast it turns into an animation.]
Leng Wuyan was taken aback. "Is there more?"
She did as she was told.
She bent the alb.u.m, pressed her thumb against the edge, and gently released it. She quickly flipped the page.
Leng Wuyan was stunned.
As the pages of the painting flipped, the characters on it started to move!
From Demon Peak, Li Ran’s loud confession, the "unexpected" spar at the back of the mountain.
On the last date, Li Ran bit off the candy man. The two of them played in the snow, leaving a trail of footprints…
One by one, the static pictures showed a dynamic effect.
Every move was vivid!
This was completely different from seeing it for the first time!
Like a sweet bullet, it instantly touched Leng Wuyan"s heart.
She clutched her burning cheeks, her eyes becoming watery.
"This traitor…”
"No, I cannot take it anymore. I want to see him right now!"
Leng Wuyan was in no mood to hang on to him anymore.
The matter of the engagement had been forgotten, and all the complaints had disappeared. Now, she only wanted to sit with Li Ran, even if it was just a conversation…
"Someone come!" Leng Wuyan called out.
The guard walked in and knelt on one knee. "What orders do you have, Master?"
"If the Holy Son comes back these two days…"
Leng Wuyan turned her head and her ears turned red. "You, you"re not allowed to stop him."

In the bedroom…
Li Ran looked out the window at the distant Demon Peak and sighed silently.
"Ai, it"s hard to have a girlfriend… Chasing the Sect Master is like seeking for my own
At this moment, Aqin knocked on the door and walked in. "Lord Sheng Zi, the water is ready… Eh? Why do you look so pale?"
