Chapter 1229: Chapter 1225: Where on Earth Did That Damn Mirror Dump Them?
Yun Ran was awakened by the noisy clamor, and before opening her eyes, she felt bouts of dizziness in her head.
If not for her good physical condition, Yun Ran seriously suspected that she might have remained unconscious for a long time.
With difficulty, she opened her eyes and saw the Dragon Spirit beside her, having returned to human form, though his clothes were tattered and worn.
One could barely recognize the original appearance, and beneath the ragged clothes were countless small wounds, not severe injuries, but enough to make one feel pain at a glance.
Compared to her own clean body, apart from some dizziness, it was a complete contrast.
After being pulled into the vortex, if it weren’t for the Dragon Spirit forcibly protecting her, those scars might have ended up on her body.
The nearby noise was now even clearer in Yun Ran’s ears.
"There must be some treasure; I saw a very bright beam of light shooting down from the sky earlier!"
"It’s said that treasures have spirituality. I didn’t believe it before, but now it seems true. This Light Shield must be protecting the treasure!"
"I tried it; the Light Shield is very tough and hard to break, but I believe if we work together, we can definitely break it!"
"Just afraid time won’t wait, such spiritual treasures are so clever. What if it escapes?"
"Perhaps we should send someone to find the people from the Divine Hall; they surely have a way, and we might even get a share!"
...
These voices entered Yun Ran’s ears, word for word.
Yun Ran’s lips pursed into a straight line, her expression turning sour.
Who would have thought that one day she would be considered a treasure by others?
"Wake up!"
Yun Ran shook the Dragon Spirit forcefully; the Gang Wind in the vortex earlier had all been borne by the Dragon Spirit.
Despite the Dragon Spirit’s incredibly strong Divine Soul, he still suffered severe tremors, more gravely injured than Yun Ran.
Yun Ran helped the Dragon Spirit up, forced open his mouth, and stuffed several bottles of Pills inside.
"Uh(⊙o⊙)...
The Dragon Spirit’s somewhat pale face began to show slight changes after swallowing numerous Pills made from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
With furrowed brows, he made some sounds, and it seemed like he was about to wake up.
Only then did Yun Ran feel slightly relieved.
After taking half a bottle of Pills herself, the dizziness and nausea finally subsided somewhat.
Not knowing how long the protective Light Shield would hold, Yun Ran donned a black robe over herself and the Dragon Spirit before starting to observe the surroundings.
The place they were in looked like a small hill, with the surrounding trees and plants growing very well.
One glance told her that few people usually passed by this place, making it a relatively good spot.
Only, judging from the previous noises, their appearance caused quite a stir.
Otherwise, their arrival might not have alarmed anyone.
As Yun Ran was about to take a look around, her foot stepped on something unfamiliar.
She quickly brushed aside a thin layer of dust, revealing a large copper mirror lying quietly there.
Yun Ran: ...
Originally thinking the copper mirror had tricked them and she wouldn’t get a chance for revenge anytime soon.
Unexpectedly, the copper mirror was buried not far from them under a layer of dust and rubble.
The copper mirror at the moment looked filthy, as if it hadn’t seen daylight in a long time.
After cleaning off the dust, Yun Ran could see that there was quite a bit of green rust on the copper mirror.
Seeing it like this, also having suffered greatly, made Yun Ran feel a strange sense of balance in her heart.
After lifting the copper mirror, Yun Ran then saw, underneath it, the Little Paperman lying there lifelessly, motionless.
A closer look revealed the Little Paperman’s hands and feet still twitching slightly.
Yun Ran promptly disregarded the state of the copper mirror, letting go with one hand, since the mirror couldn’t be damaged anyway.
The Little Paperman was carefully laid flat on Yun Ran’s palm.
"Ma...ster..."
The Little Paperman’s voice was shattered, sounding as if sawing wood, even its facial expression was distorted.
Up close, Yun Ran could clearly see the countless small wounds on the Little Paperman.
These tiny wounds were what prevented the Little Paperman from controlling its body, causing the twitching.
Heart aching instantly, Yun Ran realized her Little Paperman had never suffered such severe injuries ever since it was crafted.
She immediately bit her finger, dripping a drop of blood onto the Little Paperman’s forehead.
A flash of red light quickly sank into the Little Paperman’s body.
The tiny wounds on the Little Paperman’s body gradually vanished.
As time slowly passed, the Little Paperman regained control over its body, performing a swift kip-up off Yun Ran’s palm.
Floating in front of Yun Ran, it started to whimper: "Master, I almost didn’t make it, wahhh..."
If it hadn’t been paralyzed earlier, the Little Paperman would have wanted to teach the copper mirror a lesson.
That damned thing, pulling them into the vortex without warning, injuring the master and almost killing it.
It’s said enemies are the angriest when meeting; the Little Paperman’s glance at the copper mirror now genuinely held venom.
Even while whimpering, it started throwing punches at the copper mirror that had fallen to the ground again.
After a round of punching and kicking, only then did the Little Paperman’s fury slightly subside.
Yun Ran also wanted to teach the copper mirror a lesson, so she didn’t stop it.
She attached some Concealing Talismans on herself before planning to inspect if the Light Shield protecting them was the one she set up earlier.
Also, to see who these people that came knocking were.
When Yun Ran finally saw the people gathered outside the Light Shield, she was stunned.
Can anyone tell her what’s going on with those greedy-eyed people outside, dressed like refugees with long hair tied haphazardly with hemp rope?
Where the hell did this damn copper mirror bring them!
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Yun Ran’s mind; she seemed to recall those people mentioning the Divine Hall.
Adding to that, the copper mirror had previously mentioned it could let her meet the High Priest of the Divine Hall...
