Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 969 - 969 929 Return to the City

969: Chapter 929: Return to the City 969: Chapter 929: Return to the City Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan with resentment and struggled internally for a moment before reluctantly sighing.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you this time!”

“Once we get back to Tiannan City, you must give me a large sum of money; otherwise, I won’t leave!”

After she finished speaking, she walked towards Xu Ling and carried her on her back.

“Lu Chuan, he seems to be able to walk by himself now.”

Dongfang Cheng turned to Lu Chuan and pointed to Su Meeng, who could stand up.

“Hey, can you walk by yourself?

Don’t overexert yourself.”

Su Meeng turned around and gave Lu Chuan an embarrassed smile.

“I…

I can walk now.

Thank you for your help.

As for Xu Ling, I’ll trouble the three of you.”

“It’s no trouble.

Let’s go, we can descend the mountain and head back.”

Lu Chuan led the way out of the cave.

Jyang Ran followed him, casting an unsatisfied glance at him.

“You’re not troubled, but I’m the one who is!”

She complained quietly and followed Lu Chuan out.

Once outside the cave, Jyang Ran expressed her feelings: “My clothes are all dirty!”

“If they’re dirty, wash them.

Stop complaining and let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Lu Chuan followed the path they’d originally taken to begin descending the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they entered an inn, went to the stable, and found the horses they had ridden before.

After mounting the horses, the three of them, along with the two injured, hurriedly made their way back into Tiannan City.

Halfway there, Dongfang Cheng rode next to Lu Chuan and asked, “Lu Chuan, after you get back, what do you plan to tell Su Changyue?”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chuan indifferently said, “First, I’ll test the waters with her to see if this is really why she came here.”

“Let’s not rush to have them meet each other just yet.”

Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Su Meeng seemed a bit anxious.

“Can’t I meet my sister?”

“That’s not what I mean.

Just stay calm.

I will let you meet your sister.

However, since your sister arrived in Tiannan City and had someone ambush me, our relationship is not very pleasant.”

“Is that so?

I understand now.

I’m truly sorry if my sister has offended you, yet you still saved us.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand, unconcerned.

“It’s not a deep grudge.

I’m not someone who holds petty grievances.”

Relieved by these words, Su Meeng finally relaxed.

They continued on their way and arrived at the northern gate of Tiannan City, passed through it, and entered the city.

“That evil demon named Nangong Qianying, is he really dead?

He won’t suddenly appear and ambush us, right?”

Su Meeng looked around vigilantly.

“Don’t worry, Nangong Qianying is thoroughly dead.

He won’t come after you anymore.”

Su Meeng looked around and saw children freely chasing and playing; he couldn’t help but laugh.

“I finally have freedom!

I almost thought I’d have to spend my entire life in that dark environment.

I’m grateful…”

He expressed his relief.

Lu Chuan continued to ride forward, and soon, they arrived in front of an inn.

“Let’s have them stay here first, eat a hot meal, and rest for a while.

I’ll go to the City Lord’s Mansion to see Su Changyue.

You two take good care of them here.”

At the entrance of the inn, Lu Chuan instructed Dongfang Cheng and Jyang Ran.

Dongfang Cheng swallowed hard, looked at Lu Chuan, and whispered, “Young Master Lu, you better not leave me alone with her.

If you’re not here, I’m afraid she might attack me.”

Jyang Ran, who had sharp ears, heard this and immediately widened her eyes.

“Young Master Dongfang, are you really that afraid of me?”

Dongfang Cheng turned around, awkwardly smiling.

“I’m truly sorry; I’m just naturally more cautious.”

Lu Chuan was dismissive.

“That’s quite normal.

After all, you are a Demonic Cultivator; you’re not exactly straightforward.”

Jyang Ran immediately felt aggrieved, “So what if I am a Demonic Cultivator?

Am I not a human?

I too have the conscience that a human should have.

Also, what benefit would attacking you bring me?”

“Although I indeed have the ability to absorb others’ cultivation, I do possess that power.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Cheng took two steps back, his expression turning cold as he looked at Jyang Ran.

“However, I don’t attack just anyone.

You are Young Master Dongfang from the Dongfang family.

If something were to happen to you, wouldn’t I be doomed?”

“So rest assured.”

Lu Chuan patted Dongfang Cheng on the shoulder, “Don’t worry about this.

Take these two and get some rest.

I will meet with Su Changyue and return before nightfall.”

“If my talk with Su Changyue goes well, I will let them meet each other.”

“Okay, rest assured, I’ll handle things here.”

Lu Chuan turned his head to look at Jyang Ran, “You listen to him well, whatever he tells you to do, you do.”

Jyang Ran immediately bristled, “Why should I listen to him?

My strength is greater than his, he should be listening to me, right?”

“Then by that logic, isn’t my strength stronger than yours?

I command you to obey his orders, will that work?”

Jyang Ran deflated, helplessly saying, “Fine, no problem, whatever he tells me to do, I’ll do it.”

Lu Chuan turned and left, continuing his ride towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Dongfang Cheng and Jyang Ran exchanged glances, immediately making the atmosphere awkward.

“Miss Jyang, please help this young lady upstairs first, I will go arrange rooms with the shopkeeper.”

“Tch.”

Jyang Ran disdainfully said, supporting Xu Ling as she walked into the inn.

…

Lu Chuan rode up to the City Lord’s Mansion.

The front gate of the City Lord’s Mansion was wide open.

As Lu Chuan approached, the guard at the gate respectfully called out, “Welcome back, Young Master Lu!”

After entering the courtyard, Lu Chuan saw the caretaker, who was directing the servants of the mansion.

“Hey, where is the City Lord?”

Lu Chuan walked over and asked.

The caretaker hurried over, chuckling as he spoke, “City Lord Yuan is in the study, dealing with the accounts as the reconstruction of the mansion requires a substantial amount of money.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then headed towards the study.

Upon reaching the study door, Lu Chuan knocked.

“It’s Lu Chuan,” he announced.

“Come in.”

Lu Chuan pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Yuan Tiancheng hurriedly rise from behind the desk and come forward.

“Young Master Lu, you’re back,” Yuan Tiancheng greeted him.

“How goes it?

Have you located the lair of that bastard Nangong Qianying?”

“Found it, and there’s even an unexpected gain.”

“Really?

May I ask, what is the gain?”

Lu Chuan did not answer, instead asking, “Is Su Changyue still here?”

“You mean her?

She should still be here.

If she had left, she would have told me.”

“City Lord Yuan, when she arrived, did she say what she came for?”

Yuan Tiancheng smiled, “She mentioned looking for a missing person from her family, but I think that was an excuse.

Her real purpose is still because of you, I know that.”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “What she said is true, she indeed came because of me.

Where is her room?

I’ll go see her.”

“What?

What she said was true?

She really came here to find someone?”

Yuan Tiancheng asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Alright, I’ll personally take you to see Su Changyue, she’s in the guest room.”
