Chapter 84 Jade Feet
Gu Yue showed no extra expression, smiling faintly, "Okay."
Seeing that the others had finished speaking, Le Zhengyu hurriedly said, "Um, I'm going back to my family. I've reached the fourth ring, and I need to find a suitable soul spirit. I'll be going now, bye-bye."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, the others smiled helplessly.
Gu Yue said, "I need to go home first. After I come back, besides helping Xinglan acquire soul spirits, I'll be studying at the Spirit Transmission Tower. After all, the vacation is only a month long."
Tang Wulin nodded in deep agreement, then said somewhat sadly, "I don't have a home, so I'll probably stay in the academy most of the time. But I might go somewhere else in the middle."
Yuan En Ye Hui, standing beside him, also looked slightly forlorn: "Me too, I'll stay in the academy to cultivate."
Lin Xiu Ran glanced at Yuan En Ye Hui, a smile on his face: "Yuan En, you can come to the inner courtyard to find me if you need anything. I'm a level five blacksmith."
Upon hearing Lin Xiu Ran's level five blacksmith status, Yuan En Ye Hui's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded.
"Ah, Brother Xiu Ran, you..." Xu Xiaoyan hesitated, then could only whisper, "I want to go home."
Especially when she said the word "home," she secretly glanced at Lin Xiu Ran. But his expression was indifferent, revealing nothing.
Xie Xie also said, "I'm going home with Xiaoyan, and I'll cultivate diligently there."
Inside her spiritual sea,
Tang Wutong looked at Tang Wulin outside, her gaze pausing slightly, lost in thought.
"Speaking of which, in my past life, 'he' and I were nothing more than pawns," Gu Yuena sighed.
Tang Wutong withdrew her gaze and whispered, "I just hope he can break free from his father's control and become his true self."
Gu Yuena looked at her and then said, "If you had to choose between Xiu Ran and Tang Wulin, what would you choose?"
"I would choose Xiu Ran." She made her choice almost without hesitation.
She pondered for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "My life was long ago returned to my parents and the Tang family. The me I am now no longer belongs to them."
Tang Wutong raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yuena: "So, Sister Na, between the you outside and Xiu Ran, what would you choose?"
Gu Yuena did not avoid this topic at all, and even said very firmly, "I have said before that when it comes to Xiu Ran, even 'I' myself cannot do it."
Tang Wutong smiled at this time, "Sister Na, then let's work hard together from now on."
Gu Yuena turned her head slightly and then said, "Okay."
Most of the students in the academy had already left, and the usually bustling academy seemed a little deserted.
Lin Xiu Ran had been cultivating in the inner courtyard these days, planning to calm down and work hard for a few days before going to the Spirit Transmission Tower to learn new knowledge.
In the inner courtyard, he didn't just cultivate his soul power; he also spent a lot of time learning spear techniques.
Naturally, Na'er was his instructor.
Lin Xiu Ran practiced spear techniques diligently every day, and coupled with Na'er's already strong spear skills,
this combination created a chemical effect, leading to Lin Xiu Ran's rapid improvement in spear techniques. He could even rival Na'er in pure spear combat.
Of course, there were also many factors involved, such as her letting him win.
"Left hand in front, right hand behind, grip the spear shaft with both hands, spearhead pointing forward at the enemy target..."
Na'er's clear and sweet voice echoed across Seagod Island, personally teaching him almost every move.
"If there are many enemies, it's difficult to defend against them all with just the spearhead. At this time, you can use the spearhead to thrust, stab, and parry…"
Na'er watched Lin Xiu Ran practice his forging with great focus, and she nodded slightly. Then she said seriously, "Brother Xiu Ran, let's try another one."
"Okay." Lin Xiu Ran did not refuse.
The golden spear and the silver spear collided repeatedly in mid-air, the two beams of light slowly generating power, making it seem particularly intense.
Lin Xiu Ran thrust his spear horizontally, carrying some force as he attacked Na'er directly from above.
Na'er raised her spear to block, and the two spears collided. It should have been a stalemate, after all, this kind of move had been used many times before.
But this time, Na'er instantly lost her ability to resist.
Na'er groaned softly and fell to the ground, the silver dragon spear falling to the side.
"Na'er, what happened?" Lin Xiu Ran hurriedly stepped forward to check.
Na'er sat on the ground, slightly raising her small face to look at Lin Xiu Ran. Her large, delicate purple eyes were glistening with tears, and her luscious red lips were slightly pursed.
"Brother Xiu Ran, it hurts," she whispered softly, clutching her ankle.
"Was I too rough?" Lin Xiu Ran felt a pang of guilt. He had infused his spear with Phoenix True Fire. If that had caused Na'er's injury, he would truly feel remorseful.
Lin Xiu Ran quickly picked up Na'er's foot, placed it in his arms, removed her shoes, and then carefully removed her white socks.
With the socks removed, her jade-like feet were finally revealed—plump and rounded, each toe distinct, like a clear, sparkling pearl.
Her small, well-defined toes seemed to be clenched together in shyness and tension, appearing quite strained. Her feet were generally white and delicate, with some areas tinged with a shy blush.
Perhaps in his haste, Lin Xiu Ran didn't immediately realize that his actions were somewhat covetous. Realizing what was happening, he was instantly captivated, his gaze momentarily fixed on her beauty.
Especially the delicate, slightly cool touch of her anklet, which he was holding, made him momentarily dazed.
Lin Xiu Ran quickly coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "Um, where are you hurt?"
Na'er didn't speak, biting her lower lip, her watery eyes fixed on him.
Lin Xiu Ran was momentarily at a loss, and could only ask softly, "If you're hurt, I'll treat you first."
Hearing this, Na'er couldn't help but smile, her exquisite face and smile making the entire Seagod Island even more radiant.
"I was just kidding, Brother Xiu Ran, I'm fine."
At this moment, Lin Xiu Ran felt a sudden heat in his palm, quickly put Na'er's small foot down, then stood up and turned his back.
Na'er watched Lin Xiu Ran's retreating figure and smiled sweetly, "Brother Xiu Ran, aren't you going to put my socks on?"
"So you're trying to shirk responsibility by taking off your socks?"
Lin Xiu Ran quickly turned around, feigning composure as he hurriedly helped Na'er put on her socks, then sealed her delicate feet.
Throughout, Na'er watched Lin Xiu Ran with a smile, as if she found it very amusing.
