Chapter 1224: Chapter 1220
This was the first time Yun Ran could see her own Qi Fortune so clearly and distinctly. This feeling was truly quite wondrous.
Thinking about it, Yun Ran mobilized the Merit Golden Light from within herself.
In the mirror, the black aura of Qi Fortune above her head was suddenly lightened significantly when it was struck by the Merit Golden Light.
Along with it, her soul also seemed strengthened as if it had grown robust.
This series of changes caused Yun Ran’s eyes to go from puzzled to surprised and finally understanding.
So, that’s how it is!
It seems her previous guess was indeed correct, the Merit Golden Light that others desperately sought, came to her like a wholesale supply.
It was not a coincidence at all, but rather a kind of game, a balance that allowed her to safely stay in this storybook world.
If it weren’t for the Merit Golden Light offsetting some of the bad luck, even if she were the Young Master of Qingfeng Temple, with many life-saving things on her, she still couldn’t withstand so much misfortune crashing down.
There has never been such a thing as benefits without a reason in this world, and these Merit Golden Lights are no exception.
Yun Ran’s eyes flickered. Could it be that these Merit Golden Lights were gifts triggered after specific conditions were met?
"Could this also be something that the High Priest foresaw?"
If that were true, Yun Ran at this moment truly felt a bit sorry for the High Priest. Such formidable power, such Divine Status, must be astonishing.
Yet Yun Ran didn’t secretly curse the High Priest as stupid in her heart, for sacrificing his Divine Status and everything just to seize a slim chance at life.
Many ancestors from Qingfeng Temple have also made similar ’foolish’ decisions.
The title of leader of the Xuan Sect for Qingfeng Temple was built step by step with the blood and sweat of countless ancestors.
Yun Ran felt that she was actually quite a common person, greedy for money and lazy, but, if one day, the people of the world indeed needed her sacrifice.
She would curse and complain, scold everyone thoroughly, and then settle scores with anyone who had wronged her.
In the end, she would still calmly bear the responsibility as a descendant of Qingfeng Temple.
The Little Paperman was glancing around from a distance, but its peripheral vision never forgot to look towards Yun Ran.
Until it saw nothing happen around its owner, and the owner kept looking left and right.
The initial fear the Little Paperman had towards the copper mirror, was immediately suppressed by its growing curiosity.
The Little Paperman flew over, poking its little head forward, ready to flee instantly if it noticed anything amiss.
Yun Ran felt a bit speechless.
Although she had taught the Little Paperman, if they encounter danger, unless she actively calls for them, they should run away as far as possible and not hold her back.
After all, things that she could handle didn’t require the Little Paperman, and if something came up that even Yun Ran couldn’t handle, the Little Paperman rushing up would just be courting death.
It’s better to just run, maybe they could even help find some reinforcements.
The Little Paperman remembered these words well, even taking them as a sacred command.
Rationally, the Little Paperman’s actions at this moment fully aligned with the orders Yun Ran had previously given it.
But emotionally, seeing the Little Paperman poking its head around like this, Yun Ran felt a bit vexed.
Alas, the Little Paperman Puppet, although developing spiritual wisdom, is still very straightforward, unable to navigate many things in life.
If the Dragon Spirit were here at the moment and saw Yun Ran’s current demeanor, it would surely think Yun Ran was being double-standard and pretentious.
Confirming there was no danger, the Little Paperman moved a bit closer.
Naturally, it also saw Yun Ran’s soul in the copper mirror, and if it weren’t for the fact that the Little Paperman is controlled by Yun Ran’s soul.
Just seeing the appearance in the mirror so different from the current Yun Ran, even this straightforward Little Paperman would have been worrying frantically.
"Master, why do you have so much black Qi Fortune above your head?"
Listening to the Little Paperman’s inquiry, Yun Ran wanted to ask why too, but as the master, she carried certain burdens.
To say she didn’t know? How embarrassing would that be?
She immediately answered nonchalantly: "What else could it be, just a bit of bad luck!"
Yet the copper mirror bound by Yun Ran’s contract was quite straightforward, unable to grasp the situation fully.
It thought Yun Ran really believed the black aura of Qi Fortune was merely bad luck.
In a haste, it printed a line of words, looking as if it feared Yun Ran wouldn’t grasp the importance of it.
[It’s not just bad luck; the black Qi Fortune on you is due to you being someone who was supposed to die. To forcibly extend your life is to go against the heavens!]
Yun Ran: ...
She felt a bit itchy-handed, almost wanting to give this copper mirror a good smacking.
Talking, talking, talking! Worried others wouldn’t know it knows everything, huh!!!
This feeling of being exposed in front of her subordinate made Yun Ran feel her face heat up somewhat, even though strictly speaking, the Little Paperman wasn’t human, but Yun Ran still felt quite embarrassed.
The Little Paperman didn’t understand the inner dramas in Yun Ran’s heart, nor did it realize Yun Ran cared a lot about her image.
Seeing the words appearing on the copper mirror, its first reaction was shock, then overwhelming joy.
The way the copper mirror behaved clearly showed friendliness towards them.
The Little Paperman immediately flew to the copper mirror, clutching the mirror’s surface with both hands.
With an expression of excited curiosity, it asked, "Do you know everything?"
The copper mirror initially didn’t want to engage with the Little Paperman, after all, it was a Divine Artifact, and the Little Paperman was just a small Puppet, interacting with it seemed beneath its dignity.
However, seeing the Little Paperman’s admiration, it relented, deciding to indulge this small Puppet’s admiration a bit.
[Of course, there’s nothing in the world I do not know!]
The Little Paperman honestly didn’t have anything it wanted to know; it was purely curious.
The Little Paperman didn’t take the copper mirror’s response seriously, but Yun Ran did, she really had something she wanted to know.
"Do you know about the last High Priest of the Divine Hall?"
The copper mirror initially thought Yun Ran would again inquire about the Heavenly Book, as when its power was previously divided, it couldn’t touch on taboo topics.
But now that it had regained its status as a Divine Artifact, knowing the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book, this negative exposure would just result in injuries, not a complete wipeout.
The copper mirror had even prepared to answer such self-damaging questions, yet Yun Ran asked a completely unrelated question instead.
Yun Ran had no idea what the copper mirror was thinking, she only noticed its prolonged lack of response.
"Could it be frozen again, or formatted? That’s rather lame!"
