Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1281

Yun Ran left abruptly, and by the time the others reacted, they had already disappeared without a trace.

Those who had been planning to ambush Yun Ran were so angry that they smashed their teacups.

"This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous!!!"

They had thought their plans were foolproof, and were brazen enough to believe that everyone was at their mercy, only for a resounding slap to hit them in the face.

"Go investigate who the people in the small building are, and get the manager from Divine Sword Manor to come over. Tell them we have a deal to discuss!"

Although frustrated, the speaker quickly calmed down, calculating how to make up for some losses in this unfavorable situation.

Now, they were clearly targeting the residual soul of the ancient beast that Divine Sword Manor had obtained earlier.

In the backyard of the small building, due to the Contract Array Plate left by Yun Ran and the cooperation of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, the contract ceremony went very smoothly.

It took only a dozen minutes to complete the contract, and it was a perfect match.

The body of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, which originally occupied most of the yard, suddenly shrank to the size of an adult horse.

Yet, with the nine heads of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, it didn’t decrease its intimidation; instead, it appeared even more fierce.

The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, being a bully that feared the strong, was wary of Yun Ran and thus became exceptionally agreeable.

But towards the people of Divine Sword Manor who required his service, his attitude shifted drastically.

"In the future, unless it’s a matter of life and death, do not disturb me. This god enjoys peace!"

Had the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast dared to show such an infuriating face before Yun Ran, it would likely have had its heads torn off. Yet, the people of Divine Sword Manor were currently treating the beast’s words as if they were set in stone.

"Yes, yes, Beast Lord, please rest assured. I will ensure that no one disturbs your tranquility. We will also dedicate a mountain for your rest and arrange the best of everything for you."

Seeing the attitude of these people from Divine Sword Manor, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast could only think that the difference between people was indeed vast.

Turns out, after leaving Yun Ran, that fierce woman, the days outside were all bright and sunny.

The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast couldn’t help but feel grateful for not opposing earlier, believing that these rewards were deserved for himself.

To ensure the people of Divine Sword Manor served him more attentively, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast thought it necessary to give them a taste of benefits.

He immediately raised his paw and grabbed at the void, who knows what he caught, and thrust it to Young Master Xue, who had signed the contract with him.

"Considering your piety, this is my gift to you."

Hitting with a stick and then giving a sweet date is something the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast learned during his time with Yun Ran, after all, that’s how Yun Ran treated him.

"Prepare the mountain for me, and call for me when it’s ready."

With that, the solid body of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast gradually transformed into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.

At least, to outsiders, it seemed to disappear.

But for Young Master Xue, who had signed the contract, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast had not vanished but concealed itself; he could feel the presence everywhere.

This awareness stirred Young Master Xue’s heart, knowing he could summon the terrifying beast at any time if he wished.

The presence of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast disappeared, and the pressure it brought also dissipated.

People who were pale due to the beast’s pressure finally felt a sense of relief and exhaled deeply.

"Young Master..."

Young Master Xue raised his hand to stop his subordinates: "We’ll discuss this later. For now, clean up all traces here. Let everything that happened today stay buried inside. Not even my father should know!"

Although puzzled, since the Young Master demanded silence, what’s happened in the courtyard today definitely won’t be whispered to the outside.

"Yes!"

The group quickly cleaned up the traces in the backyard, while the inside of the small building didn’t require their effort as it would automatically clean itself.

Shortly after Young Master Xue and his people left, a man dressed in Divine Sword Manor’s livery stealthily appeared in the backyard of the small building.

No one else could enter here; only those from Divine Sword Manor could come in.

The man was actually a plant from another force, seen by others as honest and straightforward for decades, never revealing himself.

Now that he was activated, it was clear that the clues in this backyard were significantly important to those people.

Chi Yao hadn’t left with Yun Ran and the others but was still seated on the second floor, calmly holding a teacup.

Everything that happened in the backyard was under his direct observation.

Seeing someone sneaking in now, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention Yun Ran, who was always several steps ahead, with Chi Yao present, how could anyone expect to find even a shred of a clue related to Yun Ran?

Chi Yao tapped the teacup with his finger, separating a clear droplet from the Medicine Liquid Essence.

Soon his finger flicked, sending the seemingly harmless droplet flying like a cannonball, piercing the intruding man’s temple.

The man collapsed, but Chi Yao didn’t even spare him another glance, placing down the cup as his figure instantly vanished.

Upon Chi Yao’s departure, the configuration of the small building quickly changed, furniture moved by Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit returned to their original positions.

Even little scraps of fabric left by Dragon Spirit when tearing open a passageway were instantly pulverized by the original array on the second floor.

The second floor was restored to a state as if no one ever stepped foot there, even the Little Tower Spirit knocked unconscious by the pressure was swiftly relocated to the first floor.

Young Master Xue initially considered rushing back to discuss closing their doors to visitors after the auction with his father and several elders.

However, before he could leave the auction venue, he was stopped.

"Young Master Xue, our family head would like to see you."

Seeing the messenger, Young Master Xue’s expression remained unchanged, but his gaze grew colder. This person, where was the attitude of ’inviting’? It was clearly an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Were it not for this being his own manor’s territory, the other party likely wouldn’t have used any polite words.
