Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 818 - 816: Good Stuff

When it came to silly and naive creatures, Yun Ran really didn’t have the heart to be too harsh on them.

The White Tiger eagerly looked at Yun Ran, and instinctively lay down so she could easily get off.

The other White Wolves, as if infected, quickly imitated the White Tiger’s posture, afraid of dropping the people on their backs.

Yun Ran: ...

In the future, if anyone told her that those high-cultivation Great Demons had strong personalities, she would definitely refute them.

It’s not that they have personalities, but that they haven’t been given enough.

Xie Xuzhi calmly got off the White Wolf, not sparing a single glance in this direction.

He believed that whatever Yun Ran wanted to do, she would definitely have her boundaries.

At least for now, these White Tigers and White Wolves were quite useful, so they should be given some reward.

So, however Yun Ran wanted to play, it was up to her.

Xie Xuzhi picked up a mining lamp and walked towards the Mystic Iron Gate.

Although he wasn’t skilled in Xuan Sect’s techniques, he had basically gone through all the confidential materials in the Special Administration Bureau’s database.

Previously, not knowing that this was the Demon-locking Tower, many things had no reference value.

Now that he knew, Xie Xuzhi naturally wanted to record the situation here, and see if anything matched the confidential records.

If not, once he got out, he could organize everything discovered here and add it to the database.

Standing in front of the Mystic Iron Gate, even with his height over 185, Xie Xuzhi appeared very small.

He could only see part of the patterns on the Mystic Iron Gate, anything higher was out of sight.

Thinking for a moment, Xie Xuzhi looked at the Little Paperman who had come along to protect him: "Can you take me up to have a closer look?"

This request was a trivial matter for the Little Paperman.

"Of course, it’s no problem. Being able to help Director Xie is our honor."

The tone of the voice sounded like it was trained by Yun Ran.

Xie Xuzhi couldn’t help but smile.

"Then thank you for your hard work."

The Little Paperman was diligent in his performance for Xie Xuzhi, aiming to make it easy for its master to ask for more later.

At this time, Yun Ran also jumped down from the White Tiger, which was about the same height as Yun Ran when lying down.

Any ordinary person seeing such a large furry creature laying in front of them would likely step back a few paces, especially with the White Tiger grinning.

Yun Ran gave the tiger’s head a smack: "What are you smiling at? Don’t you know you have bad breath!!!"

White Tiger: ...

It quickly restrained its smile and tightly shut its mouth.

Previously, those humans it met weren’t as troublesome as Yun Ran.

However, compared to those sly ones who spoke sweet words but were eager to trap it,

it found Yun Ran, who would hit it when displeased, slightly more agreeable.

At least a slap was better than unknowingly falling into a trap.

The White Tiger was silently grumbling when Yun Ran rolled her eyes at it.

"Didn’t I tell you not to go overboard with your thoughts?"

With that, Yun Ran tugged on the White Tiger’s ear several times.

"How can you be so stupid? I’ve told you, I know what you’re thinking, yet you dare call me a bad woman!!!"

White Tiger: ...

It just forgot, besides, it was the Demon King, having its ear tugged in front of its loyal guards, doesn’t it need face?

The White Tiger was just about to argue with Yun Ran.

But then it saw Yun Ran effortlessly pick a Crystal Stone from its collar.

"Forget it, for a half-disabled cub like you who has been locked up for so long, it stands to reason you don’t have much brain, I won’t argue with you. I’ll settle it properly when I find your guardian."

With that, Yun Ran stopped paying attention to the White Tiger and focused on examining the Crystal Stone in her hand.

These were treasures from the Demon-locking Tower.

Feeling the energy within the Crystal Stone, Yun Ran was indeed tempted, but unfortunately, there were no tools here to refine artifacts with.

Otherwise, she would definitely refine this item, maybe even create a Magic Artifact specifically to counter these freakish Great Demons.

The White Tiger just watched as Yun Ran’s face broke out into a sly grin and then sneakily slipped the Crystal Stone into her pocket.

The movement had an indescribable feeling of sneakiness.

Remembering that whatever it thought, this bad woman would know, the White Tiger quickly looked away, wanting to think about nothing, to see if this bad woman could still get the better of it.

The Ginsengfruit had jumped down to check the surroundings when the White Wolf lay down.

It always felt that this place had a similar feeling to when it first arrived at Five Emperors Mountain.

After looking around, it didn’t discover anything amiss.

The Ginsengfruit could only come back and walk to Yun Ran’s side: "Host, I think there’s a connection between this place and Five Emperors Mountain."

After Yun Ran stored away the Crystal Stone, she patted her pocket with a sense of relief.

Hearing Ginsengfruit’s doubt, Yun Ran wasn’t surprised at all.

"There are Black Robed People meddling at Five Emperors Mountain, and this is the Black Robed People’s base camp. Being of the same origin, there are bound to be similarities."

What Yun Ran didn’t say was that with the Black Robed People’s methods and mentality, there was no doubt they had manipulated something about this Demon-locking Tower.

Just after being lifted by the Little Paperman to see the full view of the Mystic Iron Gate, Xie Xuzhi came back down.

Yun Ran gave a smile: "So, any discoveries?"

Seeing Yun Ran’s smile, Xie Xuzhi immediately knew this money-grubber had another idea.

"Just say what you want; you’re not very good at flattery, it seems a bit fake."

Yun Ran: ...

She hated those who could easily see through others’ intentions.

This would make it hard for her to play the innocent or scam – oops! – I mean, seek reasonable and legitimate rights and interests.

"Saying that takes the fun out of it, we are partners after all..."

Sensing Yun Ran was about to launch into another long reasoning, Xie Xuzhi made a stop gesture.

"As long as your requests aren’t excessive, I’ll grant them."

Yun Ran immediately stopped; she could have said so from the start and saved a lot of talking.

"Well, I was just saying, let’s consider this White Tiger and White Wolf mine, plus everything on them, no way am I surrendering them!"

Touching the Crystal Stone, she knew it was a good thing, though to others or Great Demons it might not be very friendly.

But to Yun Ran, it was extremely useful.
