After leaving Tianque Pavilion, Lu Ran went to cultivate in seclusion beneath the Milky Way Waterfall at Nine Heavens Cliff for another two days before preparing to head home.

Before returning to Yunhai Cliff, Lu Ran had specifically borrowed a bamboo hat and straw raincoat from Deng Yuxiang.

After a moment's thought, Deng Yuxiang understood Lu Ran's intentions and could not help shooting him a sidelong glare.

The Nightmare Guardian indulged someone, taking off her hat and raincoat and handing them over, while gathering his tattered, knife-marked straw raincoat into her arms.

She neither disliked it nor intended to throw it away.

This was undoubtedly a suit of battle armor!

Since the sect master did not dare let his wife and younger sister see the garment, Deng Yuxiang intended to store it in her own wardrobe as a keepsake.

"So fragrant~" Lu Ran draped Deng Yuxiang's oversized straw raincoat over himself and sniffed at its collar.

Her bamboo hat in particular carried a faint camellia fragrance.

Lovely~

Deng Yuxiang forcibly suppressed the urge to kick him. "Open the bronze mirror."

"Hm?" Lu Ran turned to look at her.

Deng Yuxiang's voice was icy. "Activate Mirror Flower Moon."

"Stingy." Lu Ran muttered under his breath and turned to perform the Mirror Demon Evil Technique.

Deng Yuxiang watched Lu Ran's back, recalling how he had held her clothes just moments ago and sniffed them all over.

For the first time in her life, she actually felt her cheeks grow slightly hot.

The Teleportation Mirror made a transfer through the Liyuan Sect before arriving outside Elder Lu's Private Courtyard on Yunhai Cliff.

Deng Yuxiang left directly, while Lu Ran picked up the Precious Gourd. "Evil Shadow, you've worked hard these past few days. Go back and rest."

"Yes."

Lu Ran released Elder Lu,
