Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 723: Yun Ran Is Basically a Bandit (Second Update)

Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Yun Ran Is Basically a Bandit (Second Update)

"Click," the iron door opened, and behind it, numerous boxes were neatly arranged.

Yun Ran, being someone who likes cleanliness, felt quite delighted to see her treasure vault so organized.

Unfortunately, with all the Little Papermen thrown into the array that contains the essence of Qingfeng Temple by her junior uncle for training, she had to handle many things personally.

After searching for a while, Yun Ran finally found the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures she needed. After taking them out, she leisurely left the treasure vault.

The iron door clicked shut again, and the door ring, which had been wide-eyed before, immediately returned to looking like an ordinary door ring once Yun Ran left.

This was naturally one of the Magic Artifacts specially crafted by Yun Ran, designed to protect the treasures she had hidden away.

If someone were to force their way in, the door ring would immediately swallow all the treasures into its belly and then disguise itself as scrap metal and hide away.

After Yun Ran returned to her room, she took out the White Jade Bottle containing the Dragon Spirit Blood.

Venturing out to find the Heavenly Book, not to mention the five Dragon Veins, just the news of the book’s emergence would spark an immense scramble.

Such a valuable artifact would naturally attract countless life forms, and similar to the Dragon Spirit, there wouldn’t be few born from nature.

So, she needed to prepare plenty of Pills in advance, at the very least, to avoid being held back by injuries.

Yun Ran didn’t step out of her courtyard gate until nightfall.

Xuan Chu had long known from the blabbering Dragon Spirit that Yun Ran’s seal had been lifted without her power being affected.

Almost immediately, Xuan Chu guessed that this must be one of the secret techniques from Qingfeng Temple.

But any kind of secret technique requires a price to be paid.

Yun Ran’s injury was a backlash from peeking at the Heavenly Secret, and suppressing such an injury was by no means a simple secret technique.

Even someone as skilled as Uncle Yan could only seal Yun Ran’s Spirit Platform and then look for a proxy to form a contract.

Xuan Chu’s gaze immediately turned to the back courtyard where the Dragon Spirit had mentioned Yun Ran went...

Could it be that the back courtyard is the real foundation of Qingfeng Temple?

Is it also the reason Yun Ran dared to entrust Qingfeng Temple to a kid like Ginsengfruit and a few outsiders?

Unfortunately, even if he opened his Heavenly Eye, Xuan Chu couldn’t see through what was there.

Either there’s nothing there, hence nothing to be seen, or the power present there is something he cannot fathom.

Xuan Chu thought the latter possibility might be greater.

The Dragon Spirit continued to prattle on, "You have no idea, Yun Ran is simply a bandit, utterly shameless. I was worried about her injury, but she wanted my blood, can you believe that!"

Xuan Chu felt his ears were about to grow calluses; the Dragon Spirit had repeated these words thirty or forty times.

"Why don’t you just have a fight with Yun Ran, pin her to the ground, and maybe she’ll apologize to you?"

Dragon Spirit: ...

That’s why he found this blockhead from Heavenly Dao Village so annoying.

If he really could beat Yun Ran and pin her hard to the ground, would he need to gripe verbally?

Though newly human, he wasn’t truly dumb.

If he dared to slap Yun Ran even once, the junior uncle would hit him with an eighteen-chain slap!

Besides, as a Dragon Spirit who ascended to the Dragon King level, how could he be ungrateful?

Not to mention the camaraderie he’s shared with Yun Ran on the battlefield.

And junior uncle has truly held nothing back, teaching him secret techniques without any bias (calling him Little Carp doesn’t count; it’s a nickname).

He’s merely airing grievances, he’d never actually raise a hand against Yun Ran.

Dragon Spirit rolled his eyes at Xuan Chu, "You blockhead, it’s impossible to reason with you!"

After saying that, the Dragon Spirit went off in search of his next listener to vent to.

Watching the Dragon Spirit’s departing back, Xuan Chu stood with his back straight in the courtyard of Yun Ran’s small yard. Yun Ran using a secret technique was definitely a sign that something big was impending.

By midnight, Yun Ran looked at the freshly made bottles of Pills and happily kept them away.

It was only then she felt a bit hungry, but her stomach didn’t rumble.

"The feeling of strength is great; even hunger is bearable."

Yun Ran opened the door to see Ginsengfruit appearing with a tray of chicken soup and noodles.

"Host, please have a snack," Ginsengfruit said.

With the Little Papermen absent, Ginsengfruit had taken over the duty of attending to Yun Ran’s daily life.

Because their bond meant Ginsengfruit could do things exactly according to Yun Ran’s wishes without her even having to ask.

Watching Yun Ran devour the large bowl of chicken soup and noodles,

Ginsengfruit began to report the occurrences during her Pill crafting.

Especially about the Dragon Spirit. Yun Ran felt glad she heard it after eating; it was too vexing otherwise.

"Don’t mind him."

As Ginsengfruit tidied up, he glanced at Yun Ran and said, "Host, since the Little Papermen aren’t here, I’ll definitely accompany you on your journey."

"Most things here at Qingfeng Temple are on track, and I don’t need to monitor everything personally all the time."

The people previously recruited by Ginsengfruit and Xin Fu were, for the time being, diligent, cherishing what they have, and not daring to step out of line.

Yun Ran initially thought it unnecessary, but considering the Secret Valley Forbidden Land had five Dragon Veins, relying only on the Dragon Spirit’s coordinates could delay matters if something went wrong.

Now her time is limited and cannot afford to be wasted.

"Alright, come with me. We’ll set off tomorrow morning. Make sure everything that needs preparing is ready."

"Okay, Host. You rest first, I’ll go inform Xuan Chu and the Dragon Spirit to prepare their things as well."

After Ginsengfruit exited, Yun Ran lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

With her injury suppressed, without that persistent pain, she naturally dreamed sweetly and ate heartily.

Dragon Spirit was watching from a distance outside Yun Ran’s place, just to see if she’d have the nerve to ignore him despite knowing he was upset.

Ginsengfruit came out, and Yun Ran’s room light went off.

Dragon Spirit: ...

The audacity, Yun Ran truly dared!

In a fit, Dragon Spirit turned to leave but was stopped by Ginsengfruit.

"Our master said we’re leaving tomorrow morning, get everything you need ready."

Xuan Chu didn’t know what Yun Ran was planning, but whatever it was, within the three-year agreement, he’d stay by her side.

Dragon Spirit was angry, but he wouldn’t delay important matters, so with a cold snort, he turned and started getting ready.
