Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1283: Blessings and Calamities Intertwined

Dragon Spirit was suddenly covered in goosebumps under Yun Ran’s gaze. The last time he saw Yun Ran with such a look, Yun Ran was planning to draw his blood to activate the Coiling Dragon Formation.

"You, you, you..."

Dragon Spirit stammered several times, unable to articulate properly; clearly, Yun Ran’s gaze had a significant impact on him.

Yun Ran was utterly speechless, too lazy even to roll her eyes: "What’s with the stuttering out of nowhere~"

Despite this annoying demeanor of Yun Ran, Dragon Spirit felt reassured.

He wasn’t afraid of Yun Ran’s disgusted look, but of Yun Ran’s inexplicable gaze.

Dragon Spirit quickly approached Yun Ran’s side: "Have you discovered something wrong, or are you planning some trick on me? Let me warn you, though my injuries are mostly healed, my vitality is still weak."

He feared Yun Ran would ask for his blood again; although he wouldn’t refuse, he would definitely play hard to get to ensure Yun Ran didn’t undervalue him.

The carriage started moving again, and Yun Ran lifted the curtain, looking at the person whom Dragon Spirit and others had rescued before.

Despite the distance, Yun Ran could clearly see that person’s current state—it was quite terrible, with hair scattered and the original appearance unclear.

Dragon Spirit knew Yun Ran wouldn’t do anything pointless, so he suddenly felt curious: "You were looking at me because of that person? Does he have a particularly noteworthy identity?"

It had to be said, Dragon Spirit truly understood Yun Ran; with just a small gesture, he could almost completely deduce the situation.

Yun Ran put down the curtain and finally spoke: "I saw a causal line suddenly appear on your body—golden, with a trace of crimson mixed in."

Golden usually relates to merit, suggesting that the person Dragon Spirit rescued is not ordinary and is favored by Heavenly Dao.

But within this gold, there was crimson, which commonly indicates impending disaster.

For ordinary people, dealing with such impending disaster is relatively simple.

However, Dragon Spirit is different; as a Great Demon by nature, a usual impending disaster is trivial, like sneezing, and almost unnoticeable on the fortune line.

But now, the fortune line on Dragon Spirit is so crimson that it overshadows the golden causal line.

This means Dragon Spirit is about to face a great disaster, potentially life-threatening.

Yun Ran instinctively distanced herself from Dragon Spirit by several seats, evidently afraid of getting caught up in Dragon Spirit’s misfortune.

Dragon Spirit saw Yun Ran’s behavior and instantly felt bitter.

Immediately, he voiced his dissatisfaction: "Hey, aren’t you a bit heartless? When you were in trouble, I rushed to help you.

Now that I’m in trouble, you’re staying far away—ready to kick me away for your own safety, aren’t you!!!"

Dragon Spirit was genuinely angry, feeling Yun Ran was heartless, not caring about him at all, freezing his heart.

Yet despite this, Dragon Spirit never considered having the carriage return to beat up the troublemaker; he could only sulk on his own.

Yun Ran: ...

Seeing Dragon Spirit truly upset, she felt slightly guilty.

"I didn’t, and don’t talk nonsense; if I really wanted to kick you out, I would’ve tossed you out of the carriage already. I was just startled by the crimson aura on you.

However, you don’t need to worry too much; have you forgotten what I’m good at? I’m a professional at resolving these chaotic fortune issues!"

Then Yun Ran began rummaging in her bag, pulling out tools she used back when she was fortune-telling.

"Come, come, shake this turtle shell."

Dragon Spirit was still a bit angry, but Yun Ran was offering him an olive branch—he couldn’t ignore it, or he’d have nowhere to step down later.

"Alright, since you say so, I’ll give you some face. After all, we’re from the same Sect now."

Dragon Spirit promptly took Yun Ran’s ancient-looking but polished turtle shell, silently chanting a mantra, and shook it.

"Clatter, clatter..."

The turtle shell rattled a few times, and the Copper Coin fell directly onto Yun Ran’s small wooden table.

Seeing the divination, Yun Ran paused, surprised at the outcome.

Though Dragon Spirit wasn’t as adept as Yun Ran with divinations, he could still understand some of the results displayed.

"Huh, is this a fortune and misfortune interdependence divination?"

Recalling Yun Ran’s previous mention of a golden causal line on him, this divination seemed to make sense.

When it comes to his affairs, Dragon Spirit is quite impatient; he immediately nudged Yun Ran: "What’s the secret behind this, hurry up and tell me."

"This divination indeed signifies fortune and misfortune interdependence, but the misfortune is evidently significant and resolving it is somewhat troublesome."

But there’s an old saying, "fortune comes amidst danger"; though the impending trouble for Dragon Spirit is considerable, once he overcomes it, the benefits he will gain are remarkable.

Dragon Spirit however, wore a worried expression; if Yun Ran deems the trouble substantial, he is indeed in for a bad time.

When pursued by Heavenly Thunder previously, Yun Ran didn’t show such an expression, which suggests this trouble is more dangerous than Heavenly Punishment.

Dragon Spirit hadn’t had the chance to ask how to evade it when Yun Ran started first: "Let me calculate what kind of trouble this is, causing the divination to feel as though it’s collapsing."

Yun Ran began divining, her fingers moving rapidly.

Someone without expertise might think Yun Ran was randomly divining.

Dragon Spirit watched as Yun Ran’s brow became covered in sweat, and time slowly ticked by.

About half an hour later, Yun Ran finally heaved a long breath, having finished calculating.

Dragon Spirit hurriedly handed Yun Ran a clean handkerchief, poured her a cup of warm water, his entire demeanor filled with tension.

The fact Yun Ran took so long, perspiring profusely, hinted that the calculated event wasn’t simple.

Yun Ran took a sip to moisten her throat, then said: "The person you rescued earlier holds a demon contract; if he dies, the contracted Great Demon will also perish.

You saved him, and his contracted Great Demon has marked your aura—therein lies your opportunity."
