Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

Ma Qianyan is most afraid of her parents. Sending her back to the village would be tantamount to sending her back to the abyss.

If she marries a man from the same village, she won't dare to run away, because if she does, her parents will lose face. The whole village will gossip about them, and under pressure, her parents will find her and keep a close watch on her, not allowing her to leave.

In the end, she married a poor man from the mountains, and her life was destined to be one of hardship and poverty. She was destined to be trapped in the mountains for the rest of her life. She had glimpsed the magic and prosperity of Shanghai, but it was something she could never achieve again.

In the future, she might regret every day why she was so ungrateful.

If she hadn't harbored resentment towards Zhou Xinqing, perhaps she could have lived a good life in the big city instead of returning to that feudal mountain village.

"Look, if we do it this way, it won't take much effort at all, just a little dowry money. It's much better than you fighting and killing each other, right?" Gu Ran continued, "Sometimes, being worse than death is actually more terrifying than death itself. Letting this painful world continue to torment her for the rest of her life is the greatest revenge against her."

Imagining her gleaning wheat in the fields with her two children, I felt she was just as pitiful as the peasant woman in "Watching the Wheat Harvest," no, even more pitiful. At least the husband in Bai Juyi's poem worked diligently to earn money, while Ma Qianyan married a lazy man who never worked in the fields. The burden of earning money and caring for the family fell entirely on Ma Qianyan's shoulders, and she was also constantly pressured by her parents. Just thinking about the hardships of her life was chilling.

"By the way, Ma Qianyan has two younger brothers. Given her position in the family, she'll have no choice but to become a 'brother-supporting demon' if she wants to. In that case... what hope will she have left in her life?"

After Gu Ran finished speaking, he realized that everyone around him was looking at him.

At this moment, they were truly terrified by Gu Ran's vicious scheme!

Yes, killing someone is easy; it's just a matter of a bullet, a knife, or a sword. In short, one shot is all it takes to kill someone.

But sometimes, death is a relief, because the dead cannot feel pain.

Only those who are alive can understand what suffering is.

Gu Ran, with just a few words, arranged a person's life and even assigned her all the hardships of that life.

A little hardship may help people grow, but endless hardship will only break them down.

But no one here sympathizes with Ma Qianyan, because she brought it all on herself.

"Great idea, great idea! I'll make arrangements right away!" Zhou Yancheng took out his phone, ready to make the call.

He had absolutely no liking for Ma Qianyan, that ungrateful woman. If they weren't in China, he would have sold her to the Philippines long ago, just like his best friend.

But Gu Ran's wicked scheme was far better than selling him to the Philippines.

"Why are you in such a hurry!" Gu Ran grabbed Zhou Yancheng's hand. "Revenge is something that should be done by the person involved to make things more satisfying."

After saying that, Gu Ran looked at Zhou Xinqing: "You can make your own arrangements. Do whatever you want. Just don't fight anymore. We won't do bad things, we'll only do good things!"

It's certainly a good thing to help parents find their daughter who has been missing for several days!

It's a good thing to help single men in impoverished mountainous areas find suitable partners!

It's a good thing to let young women return to the mountain village to participate in the development!

Then Gu Ran saved someone's life, which is definitely a good thing!

These days, there aren't many people who are willing and dare to do good deeds!

Gu Ran felt a surge of joy, a sense of satisfaction and pride welling up inside her as she did a good deed.

Zhou Xinqing glanced at Gu Ran again, her fear of him intensifying.

Previously, she was only afraid of Gu Ran's strength because she knew just how powerful he was.

Now, she is afraid of his cunning and scheming nature.

As expected, those who plot against each other are all wicked!

……

After dealing with Zhou Xinqing's mess, Gu Ran got down to business with Nuwa.

Just then, Zhang Wanjun pushed Zhang Qiong's crystal coffin in.

Zhou Yancheng knew it was time to leave, so he made up an excuse and left with his sister.

Zhou Xinqing was ordered by Nuwa to attend classes with Gu Ran every week, much like the orientation at Kassel College. She was told not to misuse her spiritual powers or try to cause any trouble.

Zhou Xinqing agreed and said she would report on time.

At this moment, Du Huimin and Lü Xueer also left, as they needed to prepare for the opening of the top-floor clubhouse.

In the living room, only Gu Ran, Su Xiaoqiang, Nuwa, Zhang Wanjun, and a crystal coffin containing Zhang Qiong remained.

"I've researched a lot of information and found that the domain formed by this crystal is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the two Words of Power." Nuwa sat on the tea table to the side, her delicate little hand stroking the crystal coffin.

Gu Ran asked, "Which two kinds of spiritual power?"

“The Vajra Realm and the Lapis Lazuli Brahma City”.

Gu Ran recalled the content of the Word Spirit class. The Vajra Realm is an advanced Word Spirit of the Word Spirit · Netherworld Illumination, which can create a protective barrier.

The Glazed Brahma City is an advanced version of the Word of Power: Dustless Land. When the domain of this Word of Power is opened, the airflow on its surface will solidify and crystallize.

Gu Ran was also an excellent student, so he understood immediately: "So the crystal on this surface is the crystallized and solidified airflow of the Glazed Brahma City, and at the same time, the realm inside is supported by the Vajra Realm."

To be able to master both fields at the same time and maintain a perfect balance between them.

My mom is awesome!

“Now that we understand the principle, the next step is to break the barrier,” Nuwa said. “It’s very simple. Just find the weak point in these two barriers, gently break the crack, and pour in the blood of a relative. This will allow us to communicate with the ancestral seal of your Zhang family and awaken Zhang Qiong’s consciousness. At that time, she will naturally be able to remove this barrier.”

After hearing this, Zhang Wanjun excitedly asked, "Is that all?"

"The difficulty lies in the first step: how to find the weak points." Nuwa frowned slightly. "This is not an easy task."

“That’s not difficult,” Gu Ran smiled. “I can find a way to identify the weak points.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately used his Sharingan and the Word of Power copied from Xia Mi to find the weak points of the Vajra World and the Lapis Lazuli City.

“Here!” he pointed to a spot on the side of the crystal.

“Finding the weak point isn’t easy; you’ll have to try several times. Don’t rush it!” Nuwa wasn’t sure if it was really a weak point, but she still gave a word of advice. “Use an alchemical weapon to try and create a crack, but don’t smash it directly. If you break it from the outside with force, Zhang Qiong will also crack. This is her planned strategy of ‘better to be a broken jade than a whole tile.’”

Gu Ran took out the Dragon Slayer Sword from his golf bag, then used a soft, yielding force to pull it out and gently tap the weak spot in the crystal with the tip of the sword.

With a "crack," the crystal immediately split open!

Nuwa glanced at Gu Ran, surprised that it really was a weak point, and that he found it on the first try!

Chapter 361 Has my son been possessed?

The Dragon Slayer Sword is not an ordinary alchemical weapon, but a peerless weapon comparable to the Dragon Slayer Platform, though its quality is only slightly inferior to the Seven Deadly Sins.

After seeing the cracks appear in the crystal, Nuwa continued, "Alright, the next step is to bleed."

Gu Ran took a deep breath, then first sheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword, and then used a sharp kunai to cut his palm, letting the blood drip onto the crack in the crystal.

He clenched his fist, trying to make his blood flow faster.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoqiang instinctively felt heartache and couldn't help but go over and hug him.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit, don't be afraid," Gu Ran comforted her.

Su Xiaoqiang thought to herself, "It's you who's bleeding, you should be the one who shouldn't be afraid."

"You're really bold..." Nuwa was wearing casual sportswear today. She pulled a syringe from the sleeve of her sportswear and said with ill intent, "Actually, I wanted to say that I was prepared to draw your blood..."

"You son of a bitch..." Gu Ran was both angry and amused. If you were prepared, why didn't you take it out earlier? Why did you have to make me cut such a big gash on my palm?

Seeing the happy look on Nuwa's face, he realized that she was taking revenge for the time he had pinched her cheeks.

That old hag is so stingy!

"You should have taken out the syringe sooner if you had it!" Su Xiaoqiang was heartbroken to see Gu Ran bleeding so much, and without caring about whether Nuwa was an elder or not, she started complaining.

"Look, something's changed!" Zhang Wanjun said, pointing at the crystal.

The originally transparent crystal was slowly soaked in by Gu Ran's blood. Lines of blood began to appear inside the crystal, eventually converging into a single line that touched the Zhang family ancestral seal that Zhang Qiong was holding.

The next second, Zhang Qiong, inside the crystal, suddenly opened her eyes.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the once indestructible crystal began to gradually disappear. The domain within the crystal, originally a solidified form of air, had simply been transformed back into a gas.

After a while, Zhang Qiong's body was fully revealed.

Zhang Wanjun immediately grasped her sister's hand, and after feeling the warmth on her wrist, gently shook it: "Sister?"

Zhang Qiong, whose eyes had been vacant, regained some of her spirits at this moment.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time: "Oh, it's Wanjun!"

"Sister, that's wonderful!" Zhang Wanjun bent down and hugged Zhang Qiong tightly, bursting into tears of joy!

"How old are you? Why do you cry so much?" Zhang Qiong gently touched Zhang Wanjun's face.

Her body was somewhat weak and pale. Although her vital signs were maintained inside the crystal, she still felt weak upon waking up.

At this moment, Nuwa stretched out her small hand and placed her fingertips on Zhang Qiong's arm to take his pulse. After a while, she said, "Hmm, you are a little weak, but there is nothing else seriously wrong. You will be fine after resting for half a month."

"Nuwa is here too!" Zhang Qiong's view was blocked by Zhang Wanjun, and only then did she see Nuwa. "Did you save me?"

Gu Ran noticed that her mother treated this ancestor with great respect, even using honorifics.

"I just helped look up some information; I didn't do anything special." Nuwa was not one to seek credit and did not claim credit for herself.

"So that's Wan Jun?" Zhang Qiong smiled as she looked at Zhang Wan Jun. "When I set up this domain with the ancestral seal, I thought that the blood of the Zhang family could awaken me, so I imagined that Wan Jun or my useless father would use their blood to awaken me."

Gu Ran thought to himself, "So it turns out that blood from relatives doesn't necessarily have to be his blood. It seems Zhang Wanjun's and her father's blood would also work."

He was too hasty and didn't think things through.

Zhang Wanjun said, "Sister, it wasn't me who saved you. I wanted to, but I couldn't find you..."

"Who saved me?"

"Of course it's your dearest son!" Gu Ran poked his face out from his blind spot and glanced at his mother.

"Who...who are you? Why do you look so familiar?" Zhang Qiong glanced at Zhang Wanjun, who was wearing a black long-sleeved gothic dress.

Zhang Wanjun asked in confusion, "Sister, he's Gu Ran...don't you recognize him?"

"You're Gu Ran, my son?" Zhang Qiong sat up and looked Gu Ran up and down with a strange expression. "My son usually likes to have side-swept bangs, and he always has a gloomy look on his face. Plus, he's often going through a rebellious phase and likes to do unconventional things..."

Gu Ran was stunned. That was indeed how he was before he transmigrated.

Gu Ran now has short hair, a neat buzz cut, and is dressed in a casual suit, looking like a South Korean idol.

Although the souls are different, DNA still doesn't lie.

"Waaah!" Gu Ran pretended to cry loudly, "My mom doesn't recognize me anymore! I saved her for nothing! Waaaaah!"

He turned around and hugged Su Xiaoqiang, but Su Xiaoqiang was still worried about the scars on his hands. She said, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. Let's bandage the wound first!"
