Although all the strong men present agreed with his point of view, Lin Fan was no longer as happy as before. He just forced a smile.
... ...
In the light screen.
Gu Ran felt his body fall into a mysterious state. All his pores seemed to open up and he felt extremely comfortable.
Every blade of grass, every leaf, and even every grain of sand around him has a mysterious connection with him.
A pure energy filled the heaven and earth, and now this pure energy formed a vortex center, and the center of the vortex was himself!
A steady stream of pure energy poured into his body, and his body absorbed this pure energy without hesitation.
He could feel it all clearly, as if he was in control of everything!
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ran opened his eyes.
Then he saw the little conch staring at him blankly, without blinking.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ran asked curiously.
"Hmm—" The little snail that was discovered showed a look of panic on its face, and its cheeks instantly became redder and more delicious than ripe wild fruits.
With a click.
The little conch flicked its tail, splashing water, and swam away as if escaping.
In the next few days, Gu Ran practiced basic martial arts methods.
Because Gu Ran closed his eyes and devoted himself to each practice, he was not aware of the purple clouds appearing around his body.
If Gu Ran had seen it, with his knowledge, he would have known about the strange phenomenon of purple mist and would have been able to make a normal assessment of his own martial arts talent.
But now, Gu Ran just feels that he has some talent in martial arts and should be able to achieve something.
During these few days, every time Gu Ran opened his eyes while practicing martial arts, he would see the little conch staring at him blankly.
Whenever she noticed he was looking at her, her cheeks would quickly turn red, just like the first time, and she would run away as if escaping.
This made Gu Ran laugh.
This girl wouldn't fall in love with me.
But when Gu Ran suddenly had this thought, his heart seemed to skip a beat.
He suddenly remembered the whole process of his acquaintance with the little snail, her persistence in feeding him small fish, her way of spitting after taking a bite of wild fruit thinking she was poisoned, and the close contact he had with her when the brown bear came to the river...
70. The abnormality of the little snail's body, Gu Ran's worry
Gu Ran, with his heart pounding, felt that something was wrong with his condition.
"Why is there so much weirdness in my mind?" Gu Ran patted his head.
Unconsciously, the little conch had occupied an important place in his heart.
This status is different from that of my sister...
Gu Ran tried to study his current mental state with a scientific attitude, and finally came to the conclusion -
He is now in human adolescence, so it is normal for him to have some random thoughts in his mind.
It would have been fine if he hadn't realized it, but when he realized that he actually had a little bit of affection for the little conch, Gu Ran couldn't calm down anymore.
"Asshole, what are you thinking, she's a mermaid."
Gu Ran cursed himself in his heart.
But when Gu Ran wanted to calm down and continue his practice, his habit of reading a lot of books showed its disadvantage at this moment.
All the stories I've seen about humans and mermaids falling in love came to my mind.
"It's not impossible to be a mermaid... Aren't there so many stories about her?"
"But that's just a story. There is a racial divide between humans and mermaids."
"You still dislike her race, do you really like her?"
"Even if I like her, she may not like me..."
"How would you know if you don't ask? She must be interested in you when she sees you are so shy."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Gu Ran's mind. At this moment, it seemed as if there were debaters on both sides, constantly debating in his heart.
"Women will only affect the speed of my cultivation..."
Gu Ran remembered a sentence he had read in some book and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.
"well-"
Gu Ran sighed and decided to give himself a day off today and not practice martial arts for the time being.
However, Gu Ran felt bored after stopping practicing for a while. There were no books or any carriers of knowledge here, and he had no way to pass the time.
If his sister were still alive, he could still chat with her.
"It would be nice if the little conch could talk." Gu Ran thought.
This way he wouldn't be as lonely and bored as he is now.
The little conch could only make "Mmm" and "Mmm! Mmm!". Although she could understand what he said, Gu Ran did not treat her as an emotional tree hole and unilaterally pour his own things into it.
Thinking of the little conch, Gu Ran suddenly realized that she didn't seem to come to watch him practice today.
What's wrong with her
Did anything unexpected happen
Thinking of this, Gu Ran became anxious.
Although he has not yet determined the exact importance of Little Snail in his heart, one thing he can be sure of now is that she is very important to him.
Gu Ran walked along the river bank towards the little conch's residence.
The little conch is different from him. He sleeps on land, while she sleeps in a place in the river where the water is calm and relatively clear.
However, every time the little snail went to sleep, it would disappear from his sight as if invisible, which aroused Gu Ran's strong curiosity when he first saw it.
After studying it, he found that it was actually an illusion. It can be observed if you look carefully. For example, if you touch it with your hand, you will feel the real object.
Of course, it was not without price. The price was that he was really hit on the chest by Little Snail's small fist, and she ignored him for a long time. He coaxed her for a long time and found five or six different kinds of delicious wild fruits to give to her before he got her forgiveness.
"Not here..." Gu Ran looked at the direction where the little conch slept at night and frowned.
"Little conch, are you there? I have new fruits here, they are delicious." Gu Ran shouted.
No one answered.
Gu Ran had a bad feeling in his heart.
He took off his pants, put them on the shore, and waded across.
"Little conch, are you there? I'm coming to find you." Gu Ran shouted while observing the river water.
Still no one answered.
Gu Ran began to get anxious and he waded faster.
When they arrived at the place where the little conch was sleeping, Gu Ran didn't care about the possibility of being misunderstood by her and reached out his hand to touch everywhere.
"Hmm..."
Hearing the familiar "Hmm", Gu Ran felt relieved, but then he found that this "Hmm" was much weaker than before, which made him feel nervous again.
"What's wrong with you, little conch?"
This time, Gu Ran did not touch the air like last time to avoid embarrassment, but instead touched somewhere close to the river surface. After a while, he felt something slippery.
The figure of the little conch appeared, her eyes drooped, she looked weak and very tired.
Gu Ran looked at where his hands were.
It's the tail.
fine.
You should be able to touch a mermaid's tail, right
After this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Ran discovered that something was wrong with Little Snail, so he quickly put the thought aside and checked her condition.
"What's wrong with you? You look so depressed." Gu Ran frowned and touched her forehead.
"Hmm..."
When Little Snail saw that it was Gu Ran, she let down her guard and wanted to lean on Gu Ran’s shoulder feeling a little tired.
Gu Ran gently put his arm around her shoulders and looked at her pretty face.
"You look so bad and pale."
"What on earth is going on?"
"Is it really poisoned this time? Did you eat something by mistake?"
Gu Ran asked with a somewhat anxious look.
The little conch shook his head slightly.
