Jing Yang glanced at Ruan Qiuping with a strange expression: "... Ruan Qiuping, you're wearing your coat backwards."
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping cursed Yu Huan at least a hundred and eight times in his heart before he slowly said, "... I did it on purpose. Wearing a coat backwards is a trend now."
After the bracelet on his hand was taken off, Ruan Qiuping hurriedly hid behind a tree.
"Where are you from?" Jing Yang actually followed him.
Just when Ruan Qiuping was thinking about how to get rid of Jing Yang, Chen Hai suddenly came over and pestered Jing Yang.
Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief, hid behind a tree, and used magic to clean up the traces left on his body by Yu Huan, and changed his clothes at the same time.
When Ruan Qiuping came out from behind the tree, although he was still exhausted inside, at least he looked refreshed on the outside.
The moment he lowered his head to adjust his sleeves, he suddenly looked at the ring on his right ring finger.
Ruan Qiuping turned the ring gently and hesitated for a moment, but did not take it off.
"Qiuping, why do you look so bad today?" Ruan Shengfeng frowned and took out a spiritual fruit and threw it to him, "Hurry up and eat a spiritual fruit to replenish your strength."
Ruan Qiuping took the spiritual fruit and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Dad."
Xia Fushui was sitting nearby knitting a sweater for Ruan Dongdong. She glanced at Ruan Qiuping and paused, asking, "Why do you have a ring on your hand?"
Ruan Qiuping glanced at the ring in his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just wear it for fun."
Xia Fushui lowered her head and continued knitting, saying in a light tone: "You are engaged now, so you can't wear a ring casually. Take it off."
Ruan Qiuping thought, not only did he wear a random ring, he also got married randomly.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he still lowered his head and said yes obediently, took off the ring and put it into his Qiankun bag.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to practice martial arts, so I might be back late today. You don't have to wait for me."
"Good, good, good! Come on, come on, practice well. With my son's current progress, he will be close to becoming a god!" Ruan Shengfeng said happily.
Ruan Qiuping's eyes curved with smile: "Thank you for your good words."
When Ruan Qiuping was discharged from the hospital, he saw Ruan Dongdong squatting under a big tree at the door picking up fallen leaves.
Ruan Qiuping laughed and shouted, "Dongdong!"
Ruan Dongdong turned around abruptly, saw Ruan Qiuping, and immediately smiled happily, holding a pile of fallen leaves in his arms, and ran over excitedly.
Ruan Dongdong ran to him, lowered his head and carefully picked out the most beautiful red leaf from his pocket, handed it to Ruan Qiuping, and said in a childish voice: "Brother! This is for you!"
Ruan Qiuping's heart almost melted. He happily took the red leaf from me, and then handed the spiritual fruit that Ruan Shengfeng had just given him to Ruan Dongdong: "Dongdong, eat the fruit."
Ruan Dongdong stretched out his hand to grab it, but Ruan Qiuping's heart tightened and he stepped back a few steps, then used magic to pass the spiritual power fruit to Ruan Dongdong.
Seeing Ruan Dongdong happily chewing the spiritual power fruit, Ruan Qiuping felt a little scared.
He pursed his lips and clenched his fists in annoyance.
The more he spent time with Yu Huan, the more he came into contact with him, and the more he communicated with him, the more careless he became... He even almost forgot that he must not come into contact with anyone else.
The same thing happened when he passed the leaf to me just now. He didn't even use any magic, but handed it to me directly. If he had accidentally touched it when handing it over... the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Where are you, brother?" Ruan Dongdong asked him with his head tilted.
"Brother, go to the back mountain to practice martial arts."
It was impossible for him to practice martial arts, and he didn't even go to the back mountain, but ran to Sunset Pond.
There are a total of ten ingredients for the Love Recalling Soup, but seven of them are relatively common and can even be purchased directly in the trading forest. The remaining three are relatively rare and need to be found in person.
These three are the Millennium Lotus of Mangyi Snow Mountain, the Thoughts and Bitterness Pearls at the bottom of Sunset Pond, and the Love Fruit of Duanqing Mountain.
Once the Millennium Lotus is picked, it can only survive for one night, so Ruan Qiuping plans to find the Thoughts and Love Pearls first.
Sunset Lake is very close to Nguyen Thu Binh's home, but a little further west.
Sunset Pond, Sunset Pond, the sun sets over the pond.
There is a plant called blue vine floating on the surface of Sunset Pond all year round. When this plant floats on the water, it will tightly trap the entire Sunset Pond. If you get in, you can't get out, and if you are outside, you can't get in.
But this tough blue vine will slowly disperse every afternoon when the sun sets, and when the sun completely sets, they will wrap around again.
Ruan Qiuping came here at a good time today. The sun was setting and the blue vines had mostly dispersed. Ruan Qiuping took off his coat and dived directly into the water.
In fact, the most useful spell in the water is the water-avoiding spell, but this spell consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Ruan Qiuping was not good at it, so he used the breath-holding spell to survive.
Although using the breath-holding spell did not make me feel breathing difficulties, the cold water in the pond was pressing down on me.
Ruan Qiuping was already exhausted from Yu Huan's torment today, and after finding a small place by the water, he felt a little tired.
Watching that the blue vines on the lake were about to gather again, Ruan Qiuping didn't find any fragments of the bitter clam.
He sighed and decided to get out of the lake first.
The time available for entering and exiting Sunset Lake is only a little over an hour, so the time is really tight.
Although Ruan Qiuping had not expected to find the Siku Pearl right away, he was inevitably a little frustrated after having no results after being in the water for more than an hour.
Ruan Qiuping climbed out of the pond, shook off the water on his body with magic, put on his coat again, patted his face to cheer himself up, and decided to go to Duanqing Mountain to pick love fruits before it got completely dark.
At the end of the day, Ruan Qiuping fell down from Duanqing Mountain twice and gained nothing.
Ruan Qiuping returned home somewhat depressed and immediately fell on the bed.
Not long after he lay down, he smelled a burning odor. Following the smell, he found that the blood from his legs had accidentally rubbed onto the bed, burning the sheets black.
Ruan Qiuping looked at the burnt sheets and sighed repeatedly.
He wanted to use surgery to treat the injury on his leg, but it took too much energy today and the treatment was not very effective, and he could only barely stop the bleeding.
Ruan Qiuping was tired and sleepy and wanted to lie down and sleep, but he had not finished his homework yet.
Ever since he started attending practical classes again, the recording task of their group basically fell on him again.
After finishing his homework, Ruan Qiuping began to record the good things that happened today.
As he wrote, he took out a ring from his Qiankun bag and put it on his hand.
When he thought of Yu Huan in the mortal world wearing the same wedding ring as his, he felt a sense of warmth coming from the ring.
Before I knew it, the record of today's good things has come to an end.
Except for the last one which was about beautiful fallen leaves given to him by his sister, the rest were all related to Yu Huan.
Ruan Qiuping closed the record of good deeds, hesitated for a moment, and opened it again.
He added another line to the last one.
The ninth good thing: We are going to Sunset Pond and Duanqing Mountain today. Although the Siku Pearl is a little hard to find, it feels like we will find the result of our love soon!
It turns out that the God of Bad Luck's premonitions are always inaccurate.
For example, now, after he had searched for the Thought Bitterness Pearl and the Love Fruit for eight consecutive days, he hadn't even picked up a leaf from the Love Fruit on Duanqing Mountain, but the Thought Bitterness Pearl in Sunset Pond was so bright that it was about to blind him.
He looked at the clams that suddenly emerged one by one from the bottom of the water and rubbed his eyes in shock.
Ruan Qiuping didn't even know what was happening. He was just estimating the time and thought it was time to leave, so he floated up and prepared to leave. However, as soon as he touched the water surface, he accidentally touched the blue vine, and his finger was immediately pierced by the sharp thorns of the blue vine.
He didn't care about this minor injury at first, but then a burst of white light emanated from the bottom of the lake.
He subconsciously looked towards the light source, and suddenly discovered that the clams that he had dug three feet deep into the ground but had not been able to find were actually breaking out of the ground one after another, glowing brightly.
Ruan Qiuping immediately swam down again excitedly and stretched out his hand to pry the clam open to get the pearl, but the clam was tightly closed and could not be pried open no matter how hard he tried.
Ruan Qiuping looked up at the lake. The blue vines were gathering faster and faster, and the final exit was about to be blocked. Ruan Qiuping's heart tightened, and he hurriedly wanted to swim to the surface of the lake holding the clam. However, the clam was too large, with a diameter of more than half a meter. It was as heavy as a stone when he held it. Ruan Qiuping tried twice before he could barely pick it up. But after picking it up, the clam was like a living creature with long legs, and it carried Ruan Qiuping heavily and wanted to run underwater. When Ruan Qiuping finally floated up with the clam, the lake had turned pitch black - the blue vines completely blocked the water surface.
Ruan Qiuping's heart gradually sank.
Ruan Qiuping tried to use his magic to break these blue vines, but after trying again and again, except for his magic skills being lost bit by bit, these blue vines were completely intact and did not move at all.
The technique just used consumed too much of Ruan Qiuping's energy, so that it was a bit difficult for him to use the breath-holding spell. Ruan Qiuping slowly sank to the bottom of the water holding the clam in his arms, feeling that all the strength in his body was gone.
Ruan Qiuping fell into the mud at the bottom of the pool. The bitter clam quietly opened a narrow gap, and the soft clam meat touched Ruan Qiuping's fingertips.
Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt his eyes blurry, and a noisy sound seemed to come from a distance, then get closer and closer.
It is the screams of women, the cries of children, the roars of men, and the howls of animals.
These noisy sounds crowded into his ears and invaded his mind, making his expression even more distracted.
Then, the scenery in front of me gradually darkened. In the endless darkness, I could hear insults and sighs.
He saw him stretch out his hands, wanting his mother to hug him, but his mother turned her head away and cried.
He saw his father laughing and teasing him with toys, and as he laughed, he sighed and his face became sad.
He saw me, a kid of the same age, put a stick against his chest, pushed him down, and scolded him, saying: It is because of you, this unlucky ghost, that our family has to move.
One, two, three, four children circled around him, calling him unlucky ghost and unlucky star over and over again.
He watched his mother chase away the children who bullied him, angrily pour water on them and tell them to get out, and then silently clean up the gate that was covered with mud.
He saw his mother crying on the hospital bed, throwing herself into his father's arms, trembling all over and saying: Let's not have him, I can't stand it, I'm in so much pain, I'm going crazy...
He saw his mother turn around and notice him, her face suddenly turned panicked: Qiuping, Qiuping, don’t listen to what mom says, mom is not in her right mind, mom will not abandon you, mom is sorry... sorry... sorry...
He looked at himself and said: Mom, just throw me away.
He saw his mother suddenly cover her face and cry hysterically.
"Go to sleep." A soft voice suddenly came, the voice was as gentle as water and clouds, "Go to sleep well... then you won't be sad."
His entire body was surrounded by water, but this bone-chilling water suddenly became warm, like a soft bed, gently supporting his body.
As if bewitched, his eyes slowly closed.
A sweet dream indeed.
Ruan Qiuping couldn't remember what it was about, but he always felt that it was a deep blue sky and clean clouds. The clouds surrounded him like a warm hug.
The night was not long. As the sun rose, a ray of sunlight seemed to shine through the gaps in the blue vines onto the lake, illuminating the corners of Ruan Qiuping's lips, which were slightly curved in his sleep.
The soft dream continues, as if it will never stop.
The clouds that embraced him turned into his home.
Dongdong hugged his legs and called him brother sweetly.
His father smiled cheerfully, put his arm around his shoulders, and said he would teach him the technique step by step.
His mother came over step by step with a gentle smile on her face, called his name softly, and held him tightly in her arms.
Yun Duo, all his family members were smiling.
The sun is shining and the wildflowers are gorgeous.
Ruan Qiuping was immersed in his mother's warm embrace. He looked up and found another man in the corner. The man did not hug him or smile.
The man was wearing a dark grey suit and holding a black cane. He was tall and stood very straight, with an indescribable look of loneliness and solitude from his back.
The crutch in his hand moved slightly and he slowly turned around.
He stared into Ruan Qiuping's eyes and asked:
Ruan Ruan, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why haven’t you come yet
…
"—Yu Huan!"
Ruan Qiuping suddenly opened his eyes.
The sunlight was cut into pieces by the blue vines and sprinkled on the lake, almost stinging his eyes.
Ruan Qiuping suddenly discovered that the clam that he had been unable to open was now wide open, with a dark blue pearl lying inside the clam, shining softly.
Thoughts of Bitterness Pearl?!
Ruan Qiuping suddenly understood that all the dreams he had before were caused by this pearl and clam!
The clam seemed to sense the danger and was about to close itself, but Ruan Qiuping quickly snatched the pearl off and held it tightly.
The texture of this bead of sorrow was icy cold. Holding it in the palm of my hand, it made me feel sad for no reason. All the bad memories rushed into my mind.
Ruan Qiuping hurriedly opened his Qiankun bag and threw the bead into it. Only then did he feel a little better.
But…
Ruan Qiuping looked at the sky outside through the gaps in the blue vines and couldn't help but frowning.
In fact, if he waited here until the afternoon, the blue vines would naturally disperse.
But he couldn't wait.
Ruan Qiuping usually goes to school at 8 o'clock in the morning. Sometimes when Fuhua Gate needs routine maintenance, the teacher will inform them in advance and postpone the class time a little.
Moreover, Sima Ming would occasionally speak to them before descending to the mortal world. If he had something to say, he would talk for a long time, and they could not descend until after nine o'clock. But when Sima Ming did not speak, they could enter the Fuhua Gate one after another at half past eight.
But judging from the weather outside, it seems to be already past eight o'clock.
Ruan Qiuping suddenly became panicked. What if he missed the opportunity to descend to the mortal world
Wouldn't Yu Huan have waited a year in vain
But this blue vine is difficult to bloom. He tried using magic yesterday, but it was of no use.
Ruan Qiuping took advantage of the good light to examine the blue vine one by one to see if there were any large gaps.
I didn't find a crack, but I did find a burnt spot.
Ruan Qiuping frowned and looked down at his injured hand.
He encountered this place last night and was injured. His blood fell into the lake, which attracted some bitter clams.
But he didn't expect that such an indestructible blue vine would be corroded by his blood.
Ruan Qiuping thought for a moment, then directly grasped the blue vine in front of him.
The thorns on the blue vine pierced his palm, and blood soon flowed out.
The pain made his palms tremble, but Ruan Qiuping seemed to feel nothing. He held the thorny vine, gritted his teeth, and quickly stroked the vine from front to back!
The palm of his hand was burning with pain, and blood gushed out like a spring. The blue vine that was scratched by the blood turned black.
Soon, it was disconnected.
Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly broke several vines one after another and finally made a gap. Then he quickly jumped onto the water.
Ruan Qiuping took a look at the burnt vines and thought:
If he had 100% bad luck in the mortal world today, he would have been able to use his blood to burn open the bracelet that imprisoned his power. In this way, Yu Huan's leg would not have been broken.
Ruan Qiuping's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. However, he had no time or energy to treat himself. He was afraid that his blood would hurt others by mistake, so he hastily used magic to stop the bleeding, and then used his remaining strength to teleport once.
In a flash, he appeared in front of the flashy door.
The classmates were talking and laughing as they walked out of the flashy door.
"Ruan Qiuping, why didn't you come today? Wait...how did you get injured?!" Jing Yang asked with a worried look on his face.
Ruan Qiuping's face was pale: "... Is it over?"
"It's over. All the students have returned. The Guanchen Gate is closed..."
Before Jing Yang could finish his words, Ruan Qiuping hurriedly ran into the Fuhua Gate.
The staff of Guanchen Gate was about to close the gate, looked at Ruan Qiuping, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Go out, we are about to close the gate."
"I am... I am a student here. I am late. Can you still let me go downstairs?"
"No, go to the closed room."
Ruan Qiuping took two steps forward, and the staff member was frightened and fled ten steps back: "... you... you... what do you want to do? You are the God of Bad Luck, and you dare to get so close to me? Are you going to take revenge on me?"
Ruan Qiuping paused: "I just want to get off."
"But when we get to the designated time..."
"The rules are real and they are alive." A familiar voice came.
It seemed that it was Chen Hai. Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment.
Chen Hai just said: "You also know that this annoying person is the God of Bad Luck, how dare you treat him like this."
The staff member asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Chen Hai approached the staff and said in a voice that seemed to be a whisper but could actually be heard by everyone: "This is the God of Bad Luck. If you make things difficult for him, he will want to retaliate against you and you won't know what to do. Moreover, if you don't let him leave, he will just stick to you. The longer he stays here, the more unlucky you will be. You might as well get rid of him right away."
The worker took another step back in fear. He hesitated for a while with a tangled look on his face, and finally took out a bracelet and said to Ruan Qiuping: "... or... or you can get off work later. I can get off work a few minutes later."
Ruan Qiuping looked at Chen Hai suspiciously, really not understanding why Chen Hai suddenly changed his mind and wanted to help him.
Chen Hai scratched his head, and said reluctantly: "...you should get off quickly, the sooner you get off, the sooner you can come back. When you come back... I have something to ask you."
Ruan Qiuping nodded, put on the bracelet and walked into Guanchen Gate.
After diving into the water for eight times in a row, he finally found the Siku Pearl. He was trapped by the legendary most difficult blue vine, but he came out with only minor injuries. Although he was late, he still came down to the mortal world as he wished with the help of Chen Hai.
Today seems to be full of twists and turns, but everything turns out well.
Ruan Qiuping felt that today would be a great opportunity.
Although he was wet and dusty like a tramp at the moment, he was in an extremely happy mood.
Ruan Qiuping hummed a song quietly in his heart while looking around for Yu Huan.
The place where he appeared now was not a good place, he actually appeared directly in Yu Huan's company.
Ruan Qiuping came out of the Sunset Pond without having time to clean up. He was dripping wet. If he showed up directly, he would inevitably attract attention, so Ruan Qiuping decided to hide for the time being.
At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened.
Looking at the man in the middle of the group.
Ruan Qiuping's eyes narrowed immediately.
—Found .
A bunch of men in suits came out of the conference room, some young and some old, some tall and some short. But Ruan Qiuping felt that Yu Huan was the best looking.
Yu Huan is already 42 years old this year. His face is a little pale, but he is still very handsome. Time has been very kind to him and has not left any traces of vicissitudes on him. Instead, his mature temperament has precipitated him to be more stable and elegant.
He walked slowly, but the sound of his crutch hitting the ground gave him an indescribable feeling of oppression.
A lively new employee passed by the corridor and wanted to say hello to him happily, but was frightened by his calm and dignified temperament. The smile on his face unconsciously disappeared. He lowered his head and whispered "Hello, Mr. Yu" before turning around and running away.
Ruan Qiuping's steps towards Yu Huan became lighter.
But when he stood in front of Yu Huan, he followed Yu Huan's steps and retreated step by step. Yu Huan took a step forward, and he took a step back, as if he felt that this game was very interesting.
But he didn't step back fast enough for two steps, and his toes bumped into Yu Huan's toes. Yu Huan seemed to realize that something was wrong and paused.
The subordinates behind him also stopped and looked at me, not knowing what Mr. Yu was going to do.
Ruan Qiuping quietly reached out his hand and held Yu Huan's.
The next moment, Yu Huan lowered his head and smiled.
Many people stood there in a daze, looking at his sudden smile.
Yu Huan slowly held Ruan Qiuping's hand, turned to look at the assistant beside him, and his tone was involuntarily tinged with some tenderness: "All the trips for the next two days are cancelled."
The assistant was almost startled by his smile and tone. He was stunned for a long time before nodding hurriedly: "Okay...Okay, Mr. Yu, I know."
Yu Huan pulled Ruan Qiuping, who was looked down upon by everyone, and his pace involuntarily quickened, and even the sound of his crutches falling to the ground became hurried.
He walked quickly to the office at the end of the corridor and slammed the door shut.
Arriving at Yu Huan's office, Ruan Qiuping pressed the button on his bracelet to cancel the stealth mode: "Yu..."
But before he could finish his words, they were all lost in a gentle yet powerful kiss.
