Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1094 - 1090

The other party upped the ante, Yun Ran dared not say much nonsense, fearing that the opponent would just kill Mo Zhi if displeased.

"Hey, wait, I’m not trespassing, I was introduced by an acquaintance!"

The tightening iron chain suddenly stopped exerting force, but didn’t loosen.

[Acquaintance?]

Though this place is the Ghost World, they all used to be human too, and worldly connections work the same here.

Yun Ran immediately felt there was a chance, nodded earnestly, and said, "Of course! Otherwise, do you really think this Forbidden Land in the Ghost World is a place where I, a mere living person, can enter?"

After saying this, Yun Ran glanced at her waist, where she had just tucked the map into the cloak’s inner layer.

"Map, come out~"

Map: ...

It’s scared too, originally just meant to guide the way, how did it end up having to play the witness? It’s lost big!!!

But at this moment, it’s not up to the map whether to come out or not.

The iron chain followed Yun Ran’s gaze and pulled the map out of the cloak’s layer.

Originally a pristine-looking map, it had turned old-fashioned now, a bit like a sheepskin map passed down from ancient times.

Hidden within the thick mist, the figure capable of controlling the iron chain at will, saw the map.

[Who are you, to possess the Treasure Map!]

With the sound of the voice, the chain around her neck vanished.

Yun Ran: The ancestor is indeed reliable!

At this moment, if she didn’t pull out the big guns, it’d be a waste of her suffering just now.

"Naturally, I have my backing. Come on, I’m a living person, being able to freely come and go in the Ghost World, could I be an ordinary person?

Moreover, don’t you see, even this Half-step Ghost Emperor is a slave under my command. I can arrive here through the Treasure Map, naturally, I have important matters!"

There was a sound of clatter once again.

The iron chains on Yun Ran disappeared completely, as did those binding Mo Zhi.

Mo Zhi didn’t need to breathe, but just then, her whole head was almost crushed by that sealed feeling.

She’s now urgently breathing deeply to confirm she can continue being a ghost comfortably.

Gaining freedom, Mo Zhi instantly teleported next to Yun Ran.

Her eyes vigilantly scanning everything around them.

Indeed, it’s the Forbidden Land of the Ghost World, truly extraordinary!

And then, the mist gradually dispersed, Yun Ran crucially saw a shadow floating towards her from a distance.

Yes, floating.

When the shadow was not far from Yun Ran, it was suspended in mid-air.

Yun Ran then saw clearly that this was a completely featureless, pitch-black shadow.

In other places, seeing such an existence, Yun Ran would likely think this is just a mass of dark resentful energy.

No need to pay attention, a wave of the hand could easily scatter it.

But here, the Forbidden Land of the Ghost World, Yun Ran couldn’t dare to say this was just a trivial bit of resentful energy.

[The aura of a Ghost Immortal? You’re a disciple of the Ghost Immortal in the human world!]

Her identity was seen through so quickly, Yun Ran’s lips pressed into a tight line.

It’s not that she hasn’t met someone smarter, more capable than her, who can effortlessly see through her, crush her...

Seems she does mind a bit~

But, since the other party displays some apprehension when mentioning the Ghost Immortal, it’s a favorable sign.

Who says luck and backing aren’t a form of strength?

[You’ve come here to remove the Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughter Order?]

Since she’d been figured out, Yun Ran stopped struggling, nodded.

"Yes, but I won’t let you help in vain. We at Qingfeng Temple have always preferred equal exchanges!"

The mass of shadow moved a little closer to Yun Ran.

Yun Ran’s expression suddenly changed.

She distinctly detected a faint aura on this shadow that was similar to Xie Xuzhi’s.

Having such similar aura, there’s only one possibility: This shadow has significant ancestral connections with the Xie Family.

The shadow noticed Yun Ran’s expression change.

[You seem surprised, do you know me?]

Yun Ran’s eyes flashed, ultimately deciding to tell the truth.

"There’s a familiar aura on you."

Thinking of her previous marriage contract with Xie Xuzhi, Junior Master had said this contract would protect her from backlash temporarily.

Initially just a stopgap, unexpectedly at this moment, it became her chance to gain the shadow’s trust.

Yun Ran grabbed at the marriage contract on her. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

A glowing red thread appeared above Yun Ran’s head.

This red thread radiated the aura of both Yun Ran and Xie Xuzhi.

For other beings, it might be hard to clearly discern the fused aura on this marriage contract.

But, for this shadow, it’s not difficult.

It clearly sensed this aura has some similarities with its own.

Yun Ran waved her hand, and the glowing red thread instantly vanished.

The shadow seemed anxious but didn’t rush forward.

After a long silence, the shadow spoke: [I can help you remove the Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughter Order, but you need to help me discover my identity and assist me in leaving the Forbidden Land.]

Upon hearing this answer, Yun Ran fell silent, obviously calculating.

When negotiating, when the other party lays out their conditions, whoever gets excited becomes passive.

Mo Zhi glanced at Yun Ran, then at the shadow opposite.

She thought Yun Ran probably wouldn’t agree.

After all, Yun Ran only wanted the one task of removing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Slaughter Order, while the other party was asking Yun Ran to do two tasks.

Even if these two tasks seem like one to Yun Ran, one versus two is a disadvantage.

True to expectation, Yun Ran spoke to refuse: "Though I really wish to get rid of this damn Slaughter Order, as long as I don’t enter the Ghost World, this order’s impact on me is minimal.

Besides, with the Half-step Ghost Emperor beside me, how many Evil Ghosts can approach me?

Your demands are too many. I’m not someone who suffers losses, I don’t take on losing deals."

With that, Yun Ran turned to leave.

But the shadow, how
