Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1290: Courting Death!

This mystical grass daring to devour Mo Zhi in front of Yun Ran was undoubtedly treading on Yun Ran’s thunder point.

If it were further away, or if Yun Ran had not seen it, this grass’s attack might have worked.

Now, Yun Ran just let out a cold laugh, "Ha, really courting death!"

Just as those slender red lines were about to entwine Mo Zhi, Yun Ran’s hand moved.

The sword light from the Peach Wood Sword seemed to have its own consciousness, precisely chopping through those slender red lines without harming Mo Zhi in the slightest.

With a ’pft’ sound, all the fine lines snapped in response, and this all happened in an instant.

Fear, belatedly, crawled up Mo Zhi’s spine.

When those slender red lines were severed, Mo Zhi finally truly understood what Yun Ran previously meant by ’death calamity’.

Almost by reflex, Mo Zhi’s form flew backward a great distance until her back touched the cave wall, only then did her fear somewhat alleviate.

"Mas... master, what on earth is this thing?"

With Mo Zhi’s inquiry, the grass, whose tool for absorbing ’nutrients’ was cut off, froze for an instant and immediately entered a frenzied mode.

That appearance clearly expressed its discontent at Yun Ran for interfering with its prey, intent on confronting Yun Ran head on.

Yun Ran: ...

At this moment, Yun Ran finally could sense the aura of this grass, especially its strong malice towards her.

Well, even a grass is being irrational nowadays.

But on second thought, for a plant to survive and thrive in such a place, it can’t be a simple entity!

The originally severed slender red lines regrew, even split into more, making Yun Ran feel somewhat distressed by the density.

All the red lines surged towards Yun Ran, moving so fast that they left afterimages.

Mo Zhi, upon seeing this situation, felt a harsh quiver in her heart. Seen people who court disaster, but never seen anyone who does it this well.

At this moment, besides silently sympathizing for this unknown grass in her heart, Mo Zhi did not know what to say.

Countless slender red lines entwined together to form a large semicircle, intending to enclose Yun Ran within.

But Yun Ran seized the moment, sidestepped, and then raised her Peach Wood Sword again, sweeping its light across.

The slender red lines that were aggressive just a moment ago, fell limply with a plop, rustling to the ground.

Where the sword light vanished, the unknown grass, along with the crevice in the stone it had been growing in, split entirely in two.

Mo Zhi glanced at Yun Ran’s Peach Wood Sword, then at the grass that had been uprooted by the sword light.

Silently swallowing, she felt that both the master and the Peach Wood Sword in her hand seemed to have become much more formidable than before.

If that sword had fallen on her, she couldn’t even dare to imagine how dreadful it would have been.

"This grass is yours~"

Yun Ran no longer looked at the withered grass on the ground, since it didn’t hold much value to her.

Having nearly been trapped by the grass twice, it now fell into Mo Zhi’s hands.

Mo Zhi couldn’t help but feel a touch of sourness and inexplicable sentiment; is this what it’s like to find solace under a big tree?

"Thank you, master~"

There were countless words of gratitude in Mo Zhi’s heart, but when it came to speaking, it turned into a simple thank you.

Loyalty should not be in words, but in actions.

Mo Zhi stepped forward, picked up the now-withered grass, carefully kept it, and respectfully continued leading the way.

"Master, please follow this way."

Yun Ran calmly nodded, then sheathed the Peach Wood Sword.

In Mo Zhi’s eyes, Yun Ran’s calmness wholly carried the demeanor of an expert, very natural, at least she couldn’t see any flaw at all.

In reality, Yun Ran’s mind was far from calm.

If when she first arrived in the Dream Mirror, her injuries temporarily deprived her of consciousness and she hadn’t noticed the Dream Mirror’s supportive effect on her,

then afterward, when her divine soul’s injuries were healed, Yun Ran began to vaguely sense some differences.

It felt like she was no longer someone marginalized and eager to be disposed of by the Heavenly Dao.

But rather someone favored by the Heavenly Dao, with a significantly reduced feeling of being targeted, and the malice directed at her became almost negligible.

Later, upon explicitly knowing that Chi Yao turned out to be the master of this Dream Realm, and after drinking the medicine liquid essence given by Chi Yao...

After breaking through the bottleneck, this was Yun Ran’s first action.

Just moments ago, seeing her effortlessly deal with that grass in one move, one might think the grass was indeed weak.

To occupy such a large cave and even devour the ghosts attracted therein completely, giving the appearance of purification, shows the unnamed grass isn’t simple.

The real situation is not that the grass was weak, but rather, Yun Ran had grown far stronger than she anticipated.

From impersonating the Lord Divine Envoy among the Black Robed People to finding this place now, everything proceeded so smoothly as if deliberately arranged by someone.

Now Yun Ran was already certain that within this Dream Realm, her Qi Fortune was extraordinary.

Mo Zhi was entirely unaware of Yun Ran’s thoughts, devotedly leading the way ahead.

After another hour, they finally reached their destination.

Such a majestic natural cave, comparable to a large man-made base.

The realization that everything in this Dream Realm was real made Yun Ran’s heart feel somewhat fervent.

She immediately remembered the location and situation here silently, planning to find and claim this place as her base once she returned.

Hoping no one discerning comes here, left undiscovered for thousands of years.

"Master, look, that beam of silvery light is the moonlight shining through the cave!"

Even though there was the Demon Core for illumination, in such a naturally dark place, the moonlight still appeared exceptionally conspicuous.

Ignoring the ever cold sensation around her, this space touched by moonlight indeed had a sense of tranquility.

Sensing something, Yun Ran stepped forward to touch that ray of moonlight.

With a ’buzz’ sound, the moment Yun Ran’s hand touched the moonlight, a repressed power within her mind erupted like an unbridled horse.

From Mo Zhi’s perspective, she only saw Yun Ran reach out curiously, and then, a powerful, divine force burst forth suddenly from her body.

The power seemed to have the ability to cleanse everything; if she were still an incarnation of an Evil Ghost, she’d have been utterly annihilated by now.
