Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1284

When Dragon Spirit heard about the great opportunity for himself, his eyes immediately lit up. A great demon’s opportunity is indeed significant.

"However..."

Upon hearing these two words, the light in Dragon Spirit’s eyes gradually dimmed. He despised those two words!

"The one hunting him is also contracted to a great demon. By saving him, you’ve naturally made that other great demon resent you. As things stand, the great demon holding a grudge against you has the upper hand."

Dragon Spirit: ...

Ha ha, there’s truly no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

After Yun Ran explained the situation, Dragon Spirit, who was sitting upright, slumped back down, his face full of nonchalance.

"There are many lives that resent me. I am the mighty Dragon King; why would I fear them?"

Back when the Demon King of Death Mountain saw him, he had to behave properly. Any other great demon is just a slap in the face.

The carriage quickly returned to Mei City, where the Mei Family was already waiting at the city gate.

Leading them was Mei Zhang, who had been freed from the Puppetry Technique by Yun Ran.

At the first sight of the carriage, he ran over, face filled with smiles, "Master, you have returned~"

Ma San kept his gaze straight, yet in his eyes, there was a hint of speechlessness. He had seen shamelessness before, but never to this extent. He wondered how this person dared to act so familiar.

The carriage curtains were lifted, and the first to step out was Dragon Spirit, whose face had no coverings at all. Though he had the appearance of a cool, transcendent deity, he exuded a cold, oppressive presence.

Mei Zhang instinctively retreated two steps, eyes filled with uncertainty. Uncertain of Dragon Spirit’s identity, he dared not speak, his entire body somewhat rigid.

Dragon Spirit quickly withdrew his gaze and then stepped aside. Yun Ran followed him off the carriage.

Only Yun Ran’s eyes were visible, but the oppressive presence she emanated was no less than Dragon Spirit’s.

At the bustling city gate, Yun Ran’s lavish carriage should have been the center of attention.

Yet, in reality, the oppressive aura released by Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit drew all the surrounding gaze towards them.

The Little Paperman had grown accustomed to this. As long as the master wished, even on occasions like the Xuanmen Competition, she could become the center of attention, let alone at a mere city gate.

Recalling the earlier ambush, Yun Ran found the Mei Family increasingly disagreeable; thus, most of her pressure was directed at them.

Meanwhile, the surrounding passersby felt only a slight influence from the residual pressure, their reactions mild, each eager to remain and see what would happen.

Mei Zhang truly felt unable to voice his anguish. Bearing the greatest pressure, his body seemed weighed down by hundreds of pounds, unable to breathe.

Even Yun Ran didn’t enjoy being ogled; otherwise, this one-sided oppression would surely cause more suffering for the Mei Family.

Yun Ran withdrew her aura, glanced at Mei Zhang and those behind him, speaking with a light tone, "I do not like disturbances. Begone!"

Mei Zhang was startled by the final word, "Begone." It was a Divine Soul attack.

This left him with no doubt that, if he dared to defy the order, the next moment could bring a fate worse than death.

The carriage resumed its journey toward the center of the city, while Mei Zhang and the rest of the Mei Family did not move an inch and respectfully watched as Yun Ran’s carriage departed.

Onlookers familiar with the Mei Family were greatly shocked. How could the proud Mei Family be so humble?

"Brother, do you know what’s happening? Those are Mei Family members, right? How could they be so humbly?"

"If I knew that, do you think I’d be standing here with you watching from this corner?"

"That carriage was indeed luxurious. Did you see that man who got off earlier? By the look of him, he’s clearly a noble young gentleman. His identity must be exceptional."

"Recently, many dignified individuals have come to Mei City. Let me tell you, just the other day, my third uncle’s aunt’s eldest nephew’s niece went to work as a servant for a wealthy family. Just for cleaning, she received a noble’s reward!"

"If they’re truly nobles, it’s no wonder they’d dare to show the Mei Family such disdain. It’s a pity we couldn’t see the face of the one who got off last."

...

Yun Ran returned to her previous lodging, completely unconcerned about how her earlier treatment of the Mei Family might create a wave of turbulence.

Dragon Spirit surveyed the courtyard where Yun Ran lived and seemed quite satisfied with the environment.

"Although many things from a thousand years ago can’t compare to the modern conveniences, the air quality and environment still far surpass them."

Dragon Spirit’s courtyard was arranged next to Yun Ran’s. After wandering about and returning, he began to comment with interest.

At the moment, the courtyard housed only Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit; the Little Paperman was usually ignored by Dragon Spirit under such circumstances.

Finished with his comment, Dragon Spirit found a suitable chair to sit on, preparing tea and enjoying himself leisurely.

Yun Ran removed the oversized black robe she wore, revealing a delicate, fair face.

As Dragon Spirit sipped his tea and glanced at Yun Ran, his gaze, which should have continued to sweep across the room, suddenly froze due to that one look.

"Hey, how come your face seems smaller? You look as if you’ve expanded."

They had not met for a while, yet the change was quite evident. Yun Ran had fully shed her previous baby fat and grown more refined.

Even Yun Ran’s demeanor and the aura she carried had undergone significant changes.

To put it bluntly, Yun Ran used to always have a hint of naivety in her expression, compounded by the Life Chart’s effects, which made her aura somewhat chaotic.

Now, however, all traces of naivety had vanished from Yun Ran. Her aura was pure, and even the original influence of the Life Chart had nearly disappeared.

Dragon Spirit suddenly stood up, eyes filled with bright envy and jealousy, "Wow, you’ve encountered some incredible luck, breaking through your cultivation bottleneck!!!"

Yun Ran looked at Dragon Spirit as if he’d lost several short-term goals and pursed her lips.

If Dragon Spirit knew she had completely forgotten to ask Chi Yao for a cup of Medicine Liquid Essence at the small building earlier, would he think she was ungrateful?

Remembering how Dragon Spirit might stare at her with resentful eyes, Yun Ran immediately decided that she would take this secret to the grave!
