Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1075 - 1071: Used and Tossed Aside, Right?!
Yun Ran didn’t care what the copper mirror thought, as long as it achieved the result she wanted.
"Take a careful look and see if there’s anything hidden in this courtyard!"
The copper mirror, under Yun Ran’s oppressive influence, eventually succumbed.
After a light shone from the mirror’s surface, everything within this moderately sized courtyard revealed its true form.
Yun Ran was also very curious about what exactly was there that not only protected the Zhou Family Mansion but also evaded her Heavenly Eye’s scrutiny.
Soon, Yun Ran saw in the mirror’s surface the only thing slightly different in the courtyard’s corner—a bowl.
The Little Paperman returned swiftly, carrying a basket much larger than its body, filled with soil.
"Master, I gathered this soil from the front of the alley, the end, and the courtyards of other families in the alley."
"Just set it down for now."
Yun Ran stepped towards the corner of the courtyard and pulled out the bowl that was half-embedded in the ground.
As soon as the bowl fell into Yun Ran’s hand, the originally light-impermeable courtyard began to brighten.
But simultaneously, the wailing ghostly sounds, having lost all restraint, started to crazily corrode the Zhou Family Mansion.
The Little Paperman listened carefully before saying, "Master, the decibel of this sound is about the same as the sound heard elsewhere."
Yun Ran curiously examined the bowl in her hand, although it was somewhat dirty, its full appearance could still be seen.
Upon observing the patterns carved on the outside of the bowl, Yun Ran suddenly realized.
No wonder, even with the Heavenly Eye, she hadn’t found anything special before.
This bowl was no remarkable Magic Artifact, it barely qualified as one at all.
The only unique aspect was the pattern carved on the outside of the bowl.
"Master, why does this pattern look a bit familiar?"
The Little Paperman leaned in closer to see the pattern on the outside of the bowl.
It even brushed away some soil from the bowl’s exterior, fully revealing the original pattern.
The Little Paperman’s eyes widened, and its small mouth shaped into an ’O’.
"Master, this... this pattern, why does it look so similar to the one on the jar that Er Dan smashed previously!"
At the time, its small accomplice had picked up some fragments to take back...
So, was there something special about this pattern?
The Little Paperman looked eagerly at Yun Ran, feeling like its small brain was struggling to keep up.
With the ghostly wailing still ringing in her ears, Yun Ran calmly cleaned the dirt off the bowl.
She then quickly pasted several talisman papers on the bowl, and almost instantly, the pattern on the bowl was completely imprinted.
Yun Ran tore off one of the talisman papers and flung it into the air. As it floated, it ignited.
The surround sound-like ghostly wailing abruptly stopped at that moment.
The surroundings fell silent, Yun Ran raised another talisman paper to stick on the used copper mirror, before roughly shoving it into the bag.
Copper Mirror: ...
Damn humans, use and discard, huh!!!
The Little Paperman looked at the burning talisman paper, then at the bowl.
Finally, it uncertainly spoke up, "Master, was this the reason the Zhou Family Mansion had been so peaceful before?"
Yun Ran squatted down and continued to inspect the soil brought back by the Little Paperman, indeed finding traces of sealing energy within it.
Having brushed off the soil sticking to her clothes, she said, "I suppose so."
Figuring out the situation, with dawn approaching soon, Yun Ran decided not to stay here any longer.
She simply placed the bowl back as it was.
As for the patterns on it, Yun Ran had already remembered them during the imprinting.
"Go turn off the lights inside the room, we’re leaving."
The Little Paperman promptly agreed and happily went to turn off the lights.
Before leaving, Yun Ran glanced at the Zhou Family Mansion, thinking about the rookies who would return.
She worried that they might unknowingly provoke the creature within the weakened seal, so she left behind one of the talisman papers.
The Little Paperman recalled Master Yun Ran’s obvious disdain for those folks before, and now her kindness.
It sighed inwardly, indeed, its master was the best person~
Yun Ran quietly returned to the inn, did a simple washup, and lay back down.
After the Little Paperman cleaned off the dirt from itself, it obediently perched on the windowsill, keeping watch over the surroundings.
Only when the sun was high did Yun Ran open her eyes. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Sunlight streamed through the windowsill, and at that moment, Yun Ran was literally sunbathing.
"Master, that talisman paper you left at the Zhou Family Mansion has been discovered by those youngsters. They’ve already called for reinforcements!"
This outcome was within Yun Ran’s expectations.
Yun Ran didn’t intend to address the situation there for now.
Instead, she asked about other matters, "Has anyone from the inn come up to snoop around?"
The Little Paperman quickly shook its head, "No, it’s probably because you paid extra before and requested silence—saved them quite some trouble."
Indeed, as long as there’s enough money, a good and comfortable life is achievable anywhere.
Yun Ran changed into her clothes while the Little Paperman hurriedly washed the dirty clothes Yun Ran had changed out of.
Nowadays, the Little Paperman was quite adept at handling these chores.
"It’s daytime now, with it being bustling outside; let’s go for a stroll and find out more about the Zhou Family Alley."
Though the clues acquired last night weren’t many, Yun Ran had roughly guessed.
Perhaps a significant event occurred there many years ago.
As Yun Ran reached downstairs, the woman at the front desk stood up, a smile almost blooming across her face.
Watching the woman at the desk approach to take her hand, Yun Ran felt goosebumps prickling all over.
"I’m planning to stay for a few more days. In addition, for those days, no one is allowed to enter my room."
As she spoke, Yun Ran pulled out a stack of money and pushed it towards the woman at the front desk.
"If it’s not enough, I’ll add more."
The woman at the front desk immediately halted her approach.
Taking Yun Ran’s money, her smile grew even wider.
"Alright, stay comfortably; our rooms here are good quality and affordable."
Yun Ran nodded, turned, and left the inn.
Passing by the alley entrance of the Zhou Family, Yun Ran didn’t spare even a glance.
