Mystery of Life's Origin?

Lu Ran clutched the hilt of the Silent Night Blade, feeling its clear feedback.

Its vibration amplitude wasn't particularly violent, indicating that there was still some way to go before it became a Divine Weapon.

However, Lu Ran and the Silent Night Blade were clearly on the correct path.

This was enough to settle one's heart, with time being the only remaining issue.

"Whew—"

Jiang Ruyi descended from the sky, bringing with her the wind and rain, landing beside Lu Ran.

"I'm alright," Lu Ran immediately said.

"Alright." Jiang Ruyi smiled, lifting her hand to carefully straighten Lu Ran's collar for him.

She had gradually gotten used to keeping her worries deep inside.

Some emotions were inevitable, but she didn't want to disturb Lu Ran, nor could she afford to disturb herself.

Lu Ran lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand wetted by the rain.

"We're on a mission," Jiang Ruyi said with a reproachful look, playfully slapping Lu Ran's mouth.
