Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Wan Ji also sneakily followed behind Xie Xuzhi, as if he was terrified of being seen by Yun Ran and being told he couldn't follow.

Yun Ran was now completely speechless. Who was it that said men aren't that curious?

But the fragile-skinned Golden Master insisted on taking a look. What could she do? She hated people who were rich and powerful yet also willful the most!

She could only silently take out her Golden Feather and place it in Xie Xuzhi's hand.

"Follow me later, and also, don't be too curious!"

Yun Ran was displeased; Xie Xuzhi was not surprised, but the item in his hand puzzled him. Why give him a golden feather?

At that moment, the Golden Feather was immediately activated. A huge phantom of golden wings enveloped Xie Xuzhi.

"This is... the legendary Phoenix Feather!!!"

Elder Gong's eyes were filled with disbelief. This was something that only existed in legends. Did Yun Ran actually have one? Who exactly is Yun Ran?

He reached out to touch it but was pushed back several steps by the light emitted from the Golden Feather.

It was only after the Golden Feather determined that Elder Gong had no ill intentions towards its protected person that it gently pushed him away.

Once it perceived malice approaching the protected individual, the massive phantom of golden wings would directly incinerate the living being nearby.

Yun Ran took out the bell given to her by the elder in the Ghost World and shook it at the entrance of the cave. It made no sound, which meant it was safe for now.

"Let's go!"

Wan Ji promptly took out an oversized flashlight. With its strong light shining, the dark entrance became clearly visible, with dust flying about.

The others from the Special Administration Bureau didn't look like they knew how to help, but it was okay for Wan Ji to follow along.

Following Yun Ran, the group started to descend through the cave's mouth.

With the flashlight and the shimmering phantom of large golden wings from Xie Xuzhi, the downward passageway didn't seem so eerie.

After walking for roughly ten minutes, they finally reached the bottom.

"It's pretty deep down here."

'Puff' 'Puff' 'Puff' - a few sounds echoed.

Torches on the suddenly spacious entrance's stone walls lit up one after another.

Only then could everyone see clearly the place they had entered—a place so vast that one could not see its end, nor could one predict its spaciousness with the naked eye.

[Who dares to intrude upon the General's tomb, seeking death!]

[Halt! You tomb raiders, today you shall not leave alive!]

[What have you done to Brother Xuanwu?]

[You all deserve to die!]

...

Voices of the Tomb Guardian Beasts kept swirling in Yun Ran's ears.

These voices—some rough, some piercing, and some blustering—were making Yun Ran's head hurt to the point of bursting.

Despite trying several times to block out these voices, she simply couldn't.

The voices grew louder and more clamorous, like surround sound, almost causing Yun Ran to throw up from the noise.

Ultimately, unable to endure it any longer, Yun Ran yelled towards the empty space: "Stop the racket!!!"

However, to others, it just seemed like Yun Ran was standing still and then suddenly started acting like she was having a breakdown.

The agents from the Special Administration Bureau following behind were taken aback by Yun Ran's behavior.

Had they not witnessed Yun Ran's capabilities with their own eyes, even seen her produce a Phoenix Feather,

they would now think that Yun Ran might be under some spell, experiencing hallucinations.

Xie Xuzhi glanced back at Elder Gong and the others, "Can't any of you hear anything?"

It was a simple inquiry, but Elder Gong and the rest felt as if they were slapped in the face, stark naked.

They prided themselves as lofty beings, yet now, they were clueless about what Yun Ran had detected, their faces burning with embarrassment.

These voices weren't coming through Yun Ran's ears at all; they were communicating directly with her Divine Soul, so blocking her hearing did nothing.

Previously, she did not have the ability to communicate with other Life beings through the Divine Soul.

Yun Ran rubbed her temples, feeling for the first time that coexisting with a Dragon Spirit was truly vexing.

Yun Ran promptly formed a Magic Spell with her hands, then cursed aloud at thin air, "Hurry up and retract your lousy Divine Skills, I'm a human, and I can't bear so much Divine Soul communication!"

At this moment, the Water Dragon Dragon Spirit was wearing a suit, sitting in the revolving restaurant in Hai City with the best night view, enjoying a steak fresh from air-freight, sipping wine contentedly.

Suddenly, Yun Ran's angry reprimand echoed in his mind.

The wine he was drinking choked him.

"Cough cough cough..."

The beautiful waitress by his side immediately came forward with concern, "Sir, are you alright?"

With the Dragon Spirit's cool, abstinent appearance and seemingly wealthy, he had already attracted the attention of all the ladies in the restaurant.

Now, seeing him choke made him seem more approachable; those who were initially hesitant to approach began to stir.

The Dragon Spirit waved his hand, signaling the waitress to step back, "Don't let anyone disturb me!"

The waitress's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she dutifully obeyed, stepping back several paces.

The Dragon Spirit had planned to get along well with Yun Ran from now on, at least until her death, and not to cause trouble.

But who would have thought that Yun Ran would be so rude to him, angering him on the spot.

He communicated with Yun Ran via thoughts: "Are you sick? Who provoked you this late at night? You just curse at me, let me tell you, don't think I'm afraid of you..."

Yun Ran didn't care what the Dragon Spirit was thinking and yelled again, "Take back your lousy Divine Skills, who cares about your sharing!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

Damn it, he had never seen someone so ungrateful for the Dragon Heart; if it wasn't because Yun Ran had initiated the sharing and let him gain so much Merit Golden Light, would he be so generous?

Yun Ran had 'voluntarily extended an olive branch', and as a Dragon Spirit who had lived for many years, it would be beneath him to fuss with Yun Ran, a child who had only lived for a decade or so.

He then grudgingly accepted Yun Ran's gesture of goodwill.

Considering Yun Ran would definitely encounter numerous mountain spirits and oddities, he decided to share with her his ability to communicate with all things in heaven and earth.

That way, Yun Ran wouldn't be able to accuse him of being stingy, only interested in benefits and not knowing fairness and reciprocity.

Who could have expected his kindness would be met with a torrent of scolding from Yun Ran.

The Dragon Spirit felt wronged, completely forgetting that even if Yun Ran had some abilities, a human's body simply could not bear such Divine Skills.

"If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I'll kill you!!!"

Feeling Yun Ran's volatile rage, the Dragon Spirit truly feared this little maniac and could only obediently retract the Divine Skills he had shared.

Sensing the increasingly intimidating aura radiating from Yun Ran, everyone from the Special Administration Bureau present bowed their heads low.
