Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 817 - 815: Still, That Being Said (2 Updates)
The Dragon Spirit wandered around but felt like it had entered a maze, unable to find its target no matter what.
"Boom, boom–"
The sound made the Dragon Spirit feel a little bewildered.
He remembered that when he had just entered the tunnel of Death Mountain, the thunder already started.
How could it still be there now, especially when it seems to be broad daylight?
Looking up, the Dragon Spirit naturally saw the position directly above, where numerous clouds were piled up.
Which was completely different from the oppressive black clouds he had imagined.
The Dragon Spirit’s eyes rarely showed a confused expression. Since when did Heavenly Thunder strike under white clouds on a sunny day?
Even more bewildered and frustrated was the Heavenly Thunder, which has been at this position for almost a day.
It was supposed to strike once and be done, yet it had been rumbling aimlessly countless times, unable to find its target.
Moreover, what’s stranger is that whenever it wanted to strike down directly and blow up the vicinity.
The ground below always managed to retract one of its strikes.
Almost as if there was something there that could block the Heavenly Thunder’s presence.
This gave Heavenly Thunder a feeling of being spun in circles, but it couldn’t leave. It could only occasionally rumble to show it was seriously working.
The Dragon Spirit stared at the sky for a while, surprisingly empathizing with the resentment of Heavenly Thunder.
This left the Dragon Spirit even more puzzled; he knew his status was different now, genuinely the Dragon King.
But this doesn’t mean he could easily perceive the Heavenly Thunder or Heavenly Dao’s aura.
Back then, Yun Ran and Xuan Chu tried to perceive Heavenly Dao and almost ended up dead and wounded.
Now, he could empathize with that resentment; perhaps the Heavenly Thunder swirling nearby has really spilled over.
Who could make Heavenly Thunder so persistent in wanting to strike?
In the Dragon Spirit’s mind, Yun Ran’s face immediately surfaced.
With this thought, the Dragon Spirit’s previous anxiety in failing to find Yun Ran dissipated by half.
"Even Heavenly Thunder can’t find Yun Ran’s position; it’s reasonable that I can’t either."
Feeling relieved, the Dragon Spirit suddenly remembered the matter he previously forgot.
He promptly released the Special Administration Bureau’s people and Yan Ming, who were previously ’imprisoned’ within his domain.
Fortunately, this domain was completely under his control, as long as he didn’t wish it, no one could penetrate the domain’s barriers to investigate outside.
After releasing them, the Dragon Spirit cleared his throat, "All the mutated plants and flowers are cleaned up. For now, there’s no major trouble here. Everyone disperse and search for clues."
When people were inside the domain, the environment they found themselves in was an identical copy of their previous location.
The only difference was that as long as the Dragon Spirit behaved, they were absolutely safe inside.
Meaning, the world they sensed within the domain was a true paradise beyond mortal reach.
At this moment, listening to the Dragon Spirit’s orders, not a single person suspected they were completely forgotten before.
Instead, they felt somewhat guilty. It was their fault for being so weak.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited for Brother Long to clear all the dangers, allowing them to take credit.
"Brother Long, you’ve worked hard. Now you should rest well; let the rest of the matters be handled by us."
The Dragon Spirit’s guilt lasted only a moment. Listening to these people volunteering to work, he felt very satisfied.
He liked people with good judgment who would act without being prompted.
"Alright, go ahead."
The Dragon Spirit’s Divine Soul was originally powerful beyond compare. Not to mention merely consuming some physical strength and dispatching some disgusting entities.
He could endure for over a year and a half continuously without issue, let alone feeling fatigued.
The body he seized was trained exceptionally well for physical resilience. Even Yun Ran couldn’t compete when sorted in front of him.
The word ’tired’ didn’t fit him at all.
After the Special Administration Bureau’s team dispersed, seeing the grassland that faintly resembled a paradise, riddled with pits and burns all over.
Their hearts filled with even greater reverence for the Dragon Spirit.
This was their good fortune, otherwise, a big shot like the Dragon Spirit would have been inaccessible to them, let alone working alongside him.
At this moment, whether the Dragon Spirit was human or not was already unimportant to them.
Admiration for strength transcended species; what mattered was being on the same team.
Meanwhile, Yun Ran and her group, riding the White Tiger, finally emerged from the fog-laden, mind-baffling area.
Seeing before them a several-story-high Mystic Iron Gate, Yun Ran’s face finally broke into a smile.
"Great, we finally made it out."
The White Tiger’s claw scratched the ground two times forcefully.
The piercing sound echoed sharply, especially in such absolute silence where even breathing was audible.
Not to mention the deliberate scratching sound of the White Tiger.
Yun Ran slapped White Tiger’s head with her palm, "Are you crazy making noise on purpose!"
The White Tiger’s eyes flashed with a hint of grievance and humiliation.
But it had restrictions from the Demon-locking Tower and was shackled by Yun Ran, so it couldn’t combat her.
"I was the one who led you out..."
The White Tiger tried to endure but couldn’t hold back, speaking up, unwilling to let its contribution be erased.
Yun Ran sat cross-legged with one leg, keeping the other ready to leap off the White Tiger.
Listening to the White Tiger’s mildly aggrieved voice, she chuckled lightly, her body exuding laziness and ease.
Casually retorted, "So what? Captives have no rights. Oh, correction, rights apply to humans. For you, it should be no yokai rights."
White Tiger:...
Ahhh! It really wanted to tear this damned woman apart!
Indeed, humans were detestable!
The White Tiger drooped its head directly, yearning to raise its proud head as a Demon King, but now, even yokai bowed under the roof, alas~
Just then, Yun Ran suddenly spoke, "Anyway, I’m the most fair person here; punishment for wrongs, reward for merits.
You brought us out, so you deserve some credit. But given our opposing identities, your reward will be limited.
I’ll reluctantly help you remove one of the crystal stones from your collar."
Just moments ago, the White Tiger slumped in despair about its hopeless existence suddenly lifted its head quickly.
Turned to look at Yun Ran, its large eyes sparkling at her.
All eyes said ’Really?’.
This gave Yun Ran the feeling that this guy wasn’t a Demon King’s offspring but rather a gullible sweetheart.
