Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 804 - 802: Much Ado About Nothing (2nd Update)

Chapter 804: Chapter 802: Much Ado About Nothing (2nd Update)

Looking at Jia Feng, who wished he could brainwash him like in his childhood, Xie Xuzhi was immediately speechless.

Was he such a cheap and stupid person? Even at ten, he wouldn’t be influenced by these words.

Only those with grand ambitions and little ability would suspect everyone around them!

Whether or not Yun Ran has a sect heritage or is using an immortal as a backing, Xie Xuzhi doesn’t know and doesn’t care.

Just as Yun Ran knows he’s the eldest of the Xie Family, he would only feel envy and jealousy but wouldn’t think of taking over the Xie Family.

They are completely on two different tracks, with no room for mutual exclusion.

As for worrying whether Yun Ran would stir up the chaos from a thousand years ago in the Xuan Sect, Xie Xuzhi only wants to reply that he’s overthinking.

As long as humanity isn’t extinct, with ambition and greed, similar things will definitely not be in short supply.

It’s just like the feudal dynasties; at the beginning, who didn’t aim for eternal fame?

In the end, wasn’t it still due to human greed, class solidification, and contradictions that the cycles repeated?

Rather than worrying about whether someone will stir up chaos, it’s better to properly balance the various forces, so much that they couldn’t fight even if they wanted to.

The most destructive is always the big free-for-all.

Right now, Jia Feng and those Black Robed People behind him no longer have the ability to threaten them.

Those Living Dead Puppets seem to have essentially lost their original functionality too.

Yet neither Xie Xuzhi nor Yun Ran feels that this mission is completed.

On the contrary, the real trouble is just about to begin.

In fact, just as they had guessed.

Jia Feng seemed to have a mental breakdown, but his brain was still functioning well, completely unaffected.

Seeing that Xie Xuzhi wasn’t swayed by his provocation, he naturally had nothing to hold back anymore.

Under Yun Ran and their feet, a large crack suddenly opened up, and only those Living Dead Puppets bound by iron chains didn’t fall in.

Xie Xuzhi and Ginsengfruit were protected by a shield, so although they felt a bit weightless, there was no danger.

This sudden occurrence almost made Yun Ran not able to keep his expert demeanor.

Fortunately, the Little Paperman had sharp eyes. Seeing its owner about to fall flat on his back, it immediately flew over, supporting his arms and legs.

Thus, Yun Ran was spared further embarrassment.

The fall didn’t last long, and with the Little Paperman’s cooperation, Yun Ran landed much more lightly.

To relieve the embarrassment from earlier, Yun Ran gave a light cough and then looked at Xie Xuzhi and the others.

"How are you guys? Didn’t get scared, did you?"

This question was mainly directed at Xie Xuzhi; as for Ginsengfruit, no one scared him.

"I’m fine."

The mechanism above them had already closed.

While Yun Ran was speaking, the Little Paperman voluntarily flew up to take a look and tried to see if it could open the mechanism.

Just as its hand was about to touch the stone slab of the mechanism, the Little Paperman’s body was bounced back by a strong, domineering repelling force.

Little Paperman: ...

It immediately flew back to Yun Ran’s side, whimpering.

"Master, I was bullied. That mechanism’s stone slab actually has a repelling effect. I just lightly touched it and got bounced back; my hands hurt..."

Xie Xuzhi was quite familiar with the Little Paperman, and now he saw that not only had its appearance changed somewhat.

It seemed its personality had also become much more lively, very much like those children who were spoiled by having someone to back them up.

Complaining at the slightest disagreement.

Yet, it was quite adorable.

Even though they were in a rather dangerous environment at the moment, Xie Xuzhi wasn’t worried about his safety and had the leisure to watch the Little Paperman complain.

When he looked at the Little Paperman, his eyes unconsciously carried a touch of gentle smile.

Evidently, Xie Xuzhi hadn’t realized how double-standard his behavior was.

When in the Xie Family, seeing those slightly noisy or tattling children, Xie Xuzhi would have feelings of impatience and disdain.

Now, the Little Paperman’s behavior hit the nail on his irritable points, yet his patience was full.

Watching the Little Paperman complain and act spoiled, Yun Ran reached out to stroke the Little Paperman and then comforted it, saying, "I’ll avenge you later, my dear!"

One must of course indulge one’s own Magic Artifact.

Yun Ran glanced upward; even though he hadn’t personally verified it, he knew that breaking the mechanism and returning the way they came wouldn’t be easy.

Having learned many things from a young age, Yun Ran knew well enough that some powerful mechanism arrays never have a way back.

He could only grit his teeth and move forward; perhaps he could find a way to survive.

Mo Zhi, who had only been part of the atmosphere group and hadn’t played to her advantages, finally found her groove now.

Without needing Yun Ran to say anything, she rubbed her hands together to create a light ball the size of an iron pot, emitting a faint white glow.

In this place, it could just be used for lighting.

"Master, be careful underfoot~"

Mo Zhi’s voice carried fawning and respect; if she were a person now, she might be called a sycophant.

This lower area was much larger than the space they were in before, even with Mo Zhi’s hand-rubbed light ball.

Their visibility was only for about a dozen meters around; other areas appeared as pitch-black void.

Ginsengfruit looked at the scattered human bones around, with some bones even having long hair on them.

"Host, look, the clothes on those bones are just like those ancient people on TV!"

"Those should be ancient people from hundreds of years ago."

Ginsengfruit was a bit surprised, then trotted forward, squatting down, planning to scan and take a look.

Xie Xuzhi wanted to pull Ginsengfruit back; after all, he was a child, and some matters were better left to the adults.

However, Ginsengfruit’s actions were too quick, and he didn’t manage to grab him.

Then, he saw Ginsengfruit’s eyes flash with a hint of red light.

After the scan was complete, Ginsengfruit turned to look at Yun Ran: "It actually is someone from four hundred years ago!"

Ginsengfruit was just about to look at the Magic Artifact in that person’s hand, reaching halfway over when the skeleton, still maintaining its human form, collapsed.

Ginsengfruit: ...

He felt like he’d been set up, otherwise, how could it collapse even before he touched it?

And the collapsing of the first skeleton seemed like a starting signal.

Almost simultaneously, all the surrounding white bones crumbled along.

This scene gave Xie Xuzhi the illusion.

That if a gust of wind blew through now, these bones might turn into powder and scatter with the wind.

Ginsengfruit quickly took several steps back: "It wasn’t me!"
