Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1055 - 1051: Truly, Heaven Has Eyes!

Looking at the men on the ground, crying bitterly, appearing infinitely remorseful, Yun Ran felt not a trace of compassion.

"You mean to say that these children were willingly sent by their families.

And the Dark Master who extracted their Divine Souls chose them for a water burial?"

The men immediately scrambled to answer in chorus, fearful that if they spoke too slowly, the "female demon" before them would kill them.

"Are there other children selected to die in different ways?"

The men lying on the ground felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing the "female demon’s" question.

Previously, it seemed they had spoken due to fear, but subconsciously they still wanted to justify their actions.

Portraying themselves as pitiable, forced by circumstances, claiming none of it was their fault.

Who was Yun Ran? Although she only heard fragments of the story. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

She still managed to guess the underlying deception.

She glanced again at the small children lying on the ground, speculating that their birth information likely held significance.

Since they opted for a water burial, there must be other elemental ways within the Five Elements.

If the children are being harmed using metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, if this isn’t Evil Technique, Yun Ran would dare twist off her own head.

Yun Ran snorted lightly, looking at the Little Paperman: "Since they love aiding the wicked, let them taste the consequences themselves!"

The Little Paperman immediately understood, promptly hoisting the men on the ground upside down with tree vines, submerging their heads in the water.

If not fearing damage to the water’s quality in the pool, the Little Paperman would have directly thrown them all into the water.

As the tree vines moved, the men on the ground started struggling violently.

"Have mercy... have mercy... we were wrong... we were wronged..."

The intermittent begging for mercy did not move Yun Ran even slightly.

Anyone who uses Forbidden Technique on innocents, Yun Ran would more or less eliminate upon encountering.

Heads submerged in water, soon fell silent.

Only then did the Little Paperman lift them out.

"Master, they have only one last breath left!"

"Throw them back. See if you can rescue the other harmed children!"

The Little Paperman quickly nodded: "Okay, Master, I’m on it!"

Just before the Little Paperman was about to drag away the people tied with tree vines.

It was suddenly stopped by Yun Ran: "Wait a moment!"

Yun Ran looked over the Little Paperman, then pulled out a bottle resembling ink from her bag.

"Let me disguise you first."

In no time at all, the Little Paperman’s body turned pitch black, and its facial features were indistinguishable.

Flying over the water, the Little Paperman saw its current appearance, barely recognizing itself.

The Little Paperman was sure that with its current look, only a handful could identify it.

"Go!"

The Little Paperman vanished swiftly.

As for the people it dragged, whether they could withstand the speed’s impact, it didn’t care.

Yun Ran squatted down, looking at the children only able to crawl and babble in confusion, feeling a headache rising.

No way of knowing whether the stolen Divine Souls could be found.

If unable to retrieve them, these children already abandoned by their families, one wonders how they would survive.

Nevertheless, despite some anxiety, Yun Ran moved quickly.

She packed the children into a still-dripping bamboo basket, securing them properly.

Then, Yun Ran fed them a bit of Nourishing the Root and Stabilizing the Essence medicine, causing them to quickly drift into sleep.

Seeing the peacefully resting children at last, Yun Ran let out a sigh of relief.

She then slowly proceeded to walk towards the mountain estate mentioned by the men.

The estate wasn’t far from there, Yun Ran reached it within just over an hour.

The estate was much larger than Yun Ran imagined, and the vast fields were flourishing.

But it was populated, and Yun Ran hadn’t gotten close before spotting numerous poorly dressed people gathered around, watching something like a spectacle.

Yun Ran once again pasted an Ignore Talisman on herself.

Even standing in front of those watching the spectacle, she went unnoticed.

"Hey, aren’t those the idle men from the estate? Why are they all lying on the ground?"

"Do you smell urine?"

"I do, and it smells from them, plus look, their clothes are all wet."

"I say, it must be retribution. Previously, they bullied families without members strong enough to stand up.

Now they’re unlucky. Truly, karma at work!"

"Surely, someone punished them for evil deeds. But who’d dare, knowing they’re employed by the estate nearby?"

...

Yun Ran quietly listened to the discussions, piecing together rough details.

These uncertain people were locals.

But none were honest folk. Pretending idleness, secretly, they conducted illicit activities for the estate’s owner.

Those lying on the ground, fate unknown, were precisely the ones Little Paperman dumped earlier.

Knowing no more could be learned from these onlookers, Yun Ran turned and left.

After another ten-minute walk, Yun Ran finally saw the estate’s center, its most luxurious courtyard.

The courtyard’s size comparable to a sizeable garden.

Indicating the owner’s identity not only complex but remarkably affluent.

Yun Ran found a spot to settle the children, giving them more medicine ensuring they wouldn’t wake hungry.

Simultaneously, attaching multiple talisman papers to the basket, making sure they wouldn’t be discovered.

Yun Ran calculated on her fingers, arriving outside a section of the courtyard walls, where scaling would avoid trouble.

Though faced with nearly 2-meter-tall walls, lined with sharp porcelain pieces on top.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

These courtyard walls could deter ordinary thieves only.

Yun Ran flexed her wrists and ankles, then easily leaped over.
