Chapter 1273: Chapter 1269: Is This the Variable?
The Little Paperman didn’t wait for Yun Ran to speak, it directly moved closer, waiting for Yun Ran to give it tasks.
Isn’t it true that your own offspring are the best? This tacit understanding alone is something many methods can’t buy.
Yun Ran poured out one of the pills: "You go over and feed this pill to the Artifact Spirit, lest the Little Tower can’t withstand the opening vortex."
Once the vortex’s power becomes too strong, the Little Tower Spirit might just collapse.
At this moment, the Little Tower Spirit felt enveloped by an indescribable, terrifying power, rendering him unable to move.
He could only sit paralyzed at the spot, waiting for things to unfold.
Just when despair arose in his heart, the Little Paperman flew in front of him, pried open his mouth with its tiny hands, and stuffed in a pill with a strong medicinal flavor.
"Uh... What did you feed me..."
Initially, the Little Tower Spirit didn’t think much of the Little Paperman, just considering it as a puppet that had developed spiritual wisdom.
Among those with spiritual wisdom, there’s also a hierarchy of disdain, and rightfully, the Little Tower Spirit considered himself much nobler than the Little Paperman.
But now, the paperman, which he considered beneath him, easily pried open his mouth and fed him god-knows-what.
The Little Tower Spirit felt extremely annoyed, even trampled upon.
Just when he was about to explode in anger, he suddenly realized he could move, and the pressure on him seemed to lessen.
"What are you looking at, haven’t you seen the world!"
The Little Tower Spirit opened his mouth, but closed it again. After all, earlier, he had reflexively looked at Yun Ran out of surprise without asking anything, yet still got scolded.
This little episode quickly honed the Little Tower Spirit’s sense of tact and emotional intelligence.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The vortex seemed unable to bear the strain, appearing to collapse, while the Dragon Spirit hadn’t even shown its head yet.
Chi Yao’s expression changed drastically; this Little Tower has an extremely high limit of endurance, people in the Xuan Sect who are notable can’t even attack it.
For all these years, the Divine Sword Manor remained stable not because those invited had morals and limits.
Especially this Little Tower, in the Divine Sword Manor, it’s a symbol of status, and everyone wants to try it out.
But in the end, none of them succeeded, not even reaching the first floor of the Little Tower.
Chi Yao’s gaze was fixed on the figure with an arm extending significantly, and his curiosity grew, wondering who this person is, who could exert such pressure on the Little Tower.
"Whew~~~ This Dragon King has finally emerged!!!"
The Dragon Spirit sighed, knowing well the sufferings endured being wrapped in a cocoon by Yun Ran.
Now, finally overcoming hardships, as soon as the injuries healed to a reasonable amount, he immediately sought Yun Ran’s scent and came searching.
The Dragon Spirit didn’t know Yun Ran’s exact location, only the general area, so he eagerly ripped open a rift using Yun Ran’s Ghost World Token to get through.
Then, an awkward moment occurred.
Several pairs of eyes all stared at him, as if he were some rare spectacle.
Especially the man sitting not far from Yun Ran, looking quite dangerous, at least that’s how the Dragon Spirit’s instincts warned him.
With most of his body through, the vortex forming the path for the Dragon Spirit began to show web-like cracks around it.
"Damn, this passage is too weak, hurry, pull me through!!!"
Although the Dragon Spirit trusted in his body’s strength to withstand the sudden collapse of the temporary passage, getting stuck halfway would be quite embarrassing.
Yun Ran suddenly felt like covering her face, believing she should keep her distance from the Dragon Spirit when possible in the future.
Otherwise, she’d lose face too.
Despite her disdain for the Dragon Spirit, Yun Ran didn’t hesitate in her actions, quickly pulling out the cloak she treasured and rarely used.
With a deft flick, the cloak immediately wrapped around the Dragon Spirit’s arm, and with a swift yank, pulled the Dragon Spirit out.
Before the Dragon Spirit could even steady himself, the vortex couldn’t hold on any longer and shattered completely.
Menacing ghostly hands suddenly emerged as the vortex was about to disappear, desperately trying to grasp something.
"Scram!"
The ghostly hands sensed Yun Ran’s undisguised killing intent, recoiled slightly, and eventually retreated unwillingly.
Thus, the abrupt and unannounced scene came to a complete end.
The Dragon Spirit didn’t feel he had caused any problem earlier, and upon being pulled out by Yun Ran, the first thing he did was check if anything was amiss with him.
Realizing the clothes he was wearing were his favorite and most precious, the Dragon Spirit slightly raised his chin.
Those unfamiliar with the Dragon Spirit might not understand what he was doing, even finding him perplexing.
But Yun Ran, very familiar with the Dragon Spirit, knew this was just his annoying habit of being arrogant and showy acting up again.
For a long time (less than a minute) not receiving Yun Ran’s concern or greeting, the Dragon Spirit furrowed his brows slightly.
His eyes surveyed Yun Ran, seemingly saying: I gave you the chance to care for me, and you didn’t seize this important opportunity!
Yun Ran: ...
She thought she preferred dealing with the old Dragon Spirit, who looked down on everyone equally. At least then, when she fought him, she didn’t need to hold back.
"Stop being ridiculous, since you’re here, have a seat."
The Dragon Spirit huffed, then his gaze fell on Chi Yao. This person, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, didn’t even stand to greet him.
"Hey, who are you, daring to sit there like that."
Unable to trouble Yun Ran, can’t he vent at someone else then?
From the vortex’s appearance to the Dragon Spirit standing before everyone took just a few minutes.
Chi Yao’s gaze hadn’t moved away from the Dragon Spirit.
Shifting from initial hostility to now using a look that one would reserve for a not-so-smart creature, Chi Yao had completed his assessment of the Dragon Spirit.
This is a Dragon Spirit with some strength, capable of wrestling with him, the master of the Dream Realm.
The last time he met Yun Ran, he hadn’t seen the Dragon Spirit; could this be the variable?
