Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1285

Yun Ran quickly shook her head, "There’s no encounter, I just grew up, don’t guess randomly!"

If Yun Ran said nothing, Dragon Spirit might have dropped the topic, but now, Yun Ran’s demeanor clearly showed a guilty conscience with unnecessary actions.

The more Dragon Spirit looked at Yun Ran, the more he felt she was guilty.

"Are you sure?"

Yun Ran: ...

Indeed, when a person feels guilty, they make more mistakes.

"Fine, I’ll be honest, it’s not really an encounter, I just took advantage of Chi Yao, the person you saw by the small building earlier."

If Yun Ran had discovered the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or some treasure on her own, Dragon Spirit surely would have started boasting.

But if these benefits were gained from someone else, Dragon Spirit would instantly lose interest.

Seeing that the matter was over, Yun Ran immediately changed the topic, "I need to find an absolutely safe place to open this Heavenly Book’s fragment. During this time, it’s enough for those people to find my location."

Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit had already formed a tacit understanding, some things didn’t need to be said explicitly, Dragon Spirit understood the meaning in Yun Ran’s words.

He immediately replied, "You can leave with peace of mind, leave the rest to me."

With him covering in front, no one could disturb Yun Ran.

The Little Paperman naturally carried Yun Ran’s aura, and was left behind as a stand-in.

Even though this is just the Dream Mirror, the people appearing here once existed, even legendary figures are present.

Yun Ran didn’t believe those people couldn’t lock onto her via her aura, hence, a stand-in was necessary.

The Little Paperman and Dragon Spirit were old partners, they didn’t need Yun Ran to coordinate anything, they already knew how to work together.

"Master can rest assured, I will definitely cooperate well with the Dragon King."

That very night, Yun Ran quietly left without alerting anyone, even Dragon Spirit didn’t notice.

Just shortly after Yun Ran left, someone came looking.

Dozens of people dressed in night clothes silently gathered outside Mei City, their eyes fixed firmly on the center of the city.

"The employer has ordered: at any cost, seize the item in that person’s hand. If anyone obstructs, kill without mercy!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The speed of these people was already fast. In the absence of information from Divine Sword Manor, they could still accurately locate Yun Ran’s specific position.

If it were someone less alert, they would likely be caught right now.

Dragon Spirit was leisurely eating, enjoying a rare moment of peace, when the Little Paperman rushed in hurriedly.

The solid door trembled a bit under the Little Paperman’s small palm.

"Dragon King, someone is coming for us!"

If it weren’t for the killing intent these people carried, their stealth skills would truly make them hard to discover.

Dragon Spirit’s leisurely demeanor suddenly changed to a scowl.

His tone was clearly angry, "What’s wrong with these people? They can’t bear to see others well, we just returned, and they’re already at our doorstep?"

With the Ancient Beast Yun Ran gave out, which would keep an eye on those from Divine Sword Manor, Dragon Spirit was certain that those at Divine Sword Manor wouldn’t dare betray Yun Ran.

So, what method did these people use to find them? Dragon Spirit seriously suspected if these people had placed some tracking device on them.

The Little Paperman was also fuming. When it noticed the killing intent earlier, it flew out to look, originally intending to report to Master...

Luckily, the master had already left early, otherwise, they would have been infuriated.

Dragon Spirit put down what he was holding and glanced at the Little Paperman, "Alright, you head back to Yun Ran’s courtyard, play the stand-in well, don’t let them discover Yun Ran’s absence, leave the rest to me!"

"Rest assured, Dragon King, I will definitely let them sense the master’s aura but not find me!"

In terms of hiding skills, the Little Paperman considered itself top-notch.

The two quickly finished dividing the tasks and went to prepare.

Dozens of black-clad figures flew swiftly over the roofs of Mei City households, almost completely silent.

The leader held a Compass emitting a silvery-white glow, heading straight for the stronghold where Yun Ran and the others were.

Not even a single detour was taken along the way, proving that these people indeed knew Yun Ran’s location and weren’t hitting blindly.

Apart from a few who occasionally passed by on patrol, the others in the stronghold had already fallen into a deep and sweet slumber.

Dragon Spirit quickly prepared and flew onto the roof of another courtyard.

This courtyard was far from where they lived, so even if this whole area turned into ruins, it wouldn’t affect him and Yun Ran.

Dragon Spirit was very satisfied with his chosen position, "I’m really a genius!"

In the air, a slight swooshing sound could be heard, very faint, if not for his exceptional hearing, he wouldn’t have noticed these people’s presence.

Their aura and killing intent, had it not been directly targeting him and Yun Ran, would indeed be hard to discern.

Dragon Spirit stood cockily, looking at the ghost-like black-clad figures, smiling like an old fox.

The moonlight that night was exceptionally good, allowing his smile to be seen clearly.

"Yo, you all here this late at night for revenge or just for a stroll?"

Dragon Spirit seemed to not pay much attention to them, but in reality, he had released a powerful Dragon Soul for vigilance.

This he learned from Yun Ran, showing disdain on the surface while internally, secretly setting all alarms ablaze.

Only this way, he wouldn’t make a big mistake and get caught off guard.

These people appeared to number only dozens, but just based on their skill in concealing their aura, they could easily wipe out a mid-sized family of hundreds if they desired.

The dozens of black-clad figures were surprised when they saw Dragon Spirit.

Since their debut, they had taken on not less than hundreds of tasks, if not thousands, never failing, often killing everyone without even revealing their shadows.

This time too, they approached it with the usual calm, after all, it was just a matter of killing a few people and stealing some things.

They had been in and out of noble families and imperial households with ease, what was a little Mei City in comparison!

Yet now, the leader suddenly realized this target was a tough one, they hadn’t even begun their move and were already spotted.

Especially since there was only one opponent, and their attitude was so casual.

Clearly, the opponent had sufficient confidence and wasn’t an underestimating fool.
