Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

This scene established that from then on, none of them would dare to raise their voices against Yun Ran.

After the Dragon Spirit recalled the Divine Skills that could communicate with all things in nature,

the headache-inducing discomfort vanished, and the aura around Yun Ran gradually stabilized.

Elder Gong tentatively asked, "There seemed to be a powerful force leaking from you just now..."

Normally, Elder Gong would have begun accusing Yun Ran of misconduct, but now, he could only tentatively inquire.

Had the Dragon Spirit not seized a body or come to Hai City after doing so, Yun Ran would not have planned on exposing it.

But considering the Dragon Spirit's flamboyant demeanor and complete lack of discretion, Yun Ran thought it best to clarify things sooner rather than later.

To avoid any reckless actions by him that could involve her in trouble.

She had just not found a suitable opportunity before; now, however, was just right.

Both Xie Xuzhi and the people opposite him were present, and everyone was injured after a mission.

As the main combat force among these people, revealing the existence of the Dragon Spirit now meant that even if these people harbored any thoughts, at least no one would dare cause trouble in front of her.

Yun Ran glanced at Xie Xuzhi, and after a brief exchange of looks which showed evident tacit understanding, they decided to simply settle the matter right then.

Otherwise, if a meeting to discuss this matter were to be held later, it would indeed become annoying and highly escalated.

Here, except for Wan Ji, everyone belonged to the Special Administration Bureau; naturally, there was no need to hide anything.

Yun Ran nonchalantly explained, "It's not really a big deal; I was ambushed by a Dragon Spirit while dueling with it, and it tried to seize my body, but I turned the tables on it.

Now, we have a mutual binding symbiosis. But that Dragon Spirit is up to no good, often causing mischief.

It shared some of its Divine Skills to communicate with all spirits with me, causing all the Tomb Guardian Beasts in this tomb to quarrel with my Divine Soul!"

Everyone: ...

Are you even listening to what you're saying? Dueling with a Dragon Spirit? Body Seizing? Symbiosis? Each one of these is a life-threatening calamity that most people would never encounter in their lifetimes!

And yet here you are, hopping around unscathed, acting like it's nothing, making it impossible for others to cope!

After Yun Ran's explanation, they now understood why she seemed to suddenly act like a crazy person earlier—it was because she had already been attacked.

Elder Gong felt a tightening in his throat. There was a time when he thought he was the pinnacle among the Xuanmen people.

But now, listening to Yun Ran's words, he could only bitterly smile, realizing he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well.

However, this was not the time for him to wander in his thoughts, and he hesitated as he looked at Yun Ran.

He finally asked, "Is there a way to seal that Dragon Spirit? The power of these Primordial Spirits is too strong, and since you are now in a symbiotic relationship, I fear..."

The faces of the other Special Administration Bureau people all wore confused expressions; what Yun Ran spoke of was too far beyond their understanding.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Xuzhi asked, "Is this the Dragon Spirit you encountered during that voyage in Huannan?"

Elder Gong's ears twitched, but he remained silent, his mind rapidly recalling the incidents that had occurred with the South China Branch.

Yun Ran nodded, "Correct. That Dragon Spirit is a Jiao Long that caused storms, responsible for countless deaths.

However, it wasn't very fortunate. During a crucial moment in our duel, it underwent Dragon Transformation, and I seized the opportunity to catch it at its vulnerable moment; otherwise, everyone in that area of the sea would have died!"

Elder Gong's attitude toward Yun Ran had improved somewhat, but this was based on the strength Yun Ran displayed.

It did not mean he had dropped his guard against her as a person.

Now hearing that the symbiotic entity with Yun Ran was a disaster-causing Jiao Long, caught in international waters,

he silently reviewed the regulations of the Special Administration Bureau in his mind.

Regretfully, he concluded that there wasn't a single rule that could directly punish Yun Ran for this.

Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn't jump out to discomfort himself and simply went with the flow, remarking, "So that's what happened."

Xie Xuzhi, a man full of cunning, would he not think of what Elder Gong thought of?

Despite Yun Ran not reporting this to him before or even mentioning it,

he naturally wanted to cover all bases now.

He immediately said, "If the Special Administration Bureau's help is needed to suppress this Dragon Spirit, I will arrange the personnel."

Yun Ran couldn't help but inwardly marvel—it's no wonder she was always so enthusiastic about missions from Xie Xuzhi; he truly aligned with her taste.

Generous with money and protective, and crucially, smart. Whatever she wanted to do, she didn't need to say it; Xie Xuzhi already knew how to cooperate with her.

For working people, what matters? Isn't it just small rewards and emotional value?

Yun Ran immediately showed a righteously indignant expression, angrily stating, "That Dragon Spirit is full of tricks and no good. When I was in Yinghua Country, I got injured and passed out.

Waking up with no knowledge of its presence, I thought it had fallen into a slumber because I was injured.

Unexpectedly, it took advantage of me injuring the assailant, escaped, and even seized the body of that assailant.

Fortunately, I had placed a Prohibition on it; otherwise, I would not have known that it's now roaming freely!"

This tone sounded as if she was just realizing it had escaped due to being conned by the Dragon Spirit just now.

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Despite his best efforts to sync with Yun Ran, he still felt that she was merely spinning tales—none of which he believed genuinely.

But the expressions on Elder Gong and others improved somewhat.

Compared to a person who could control a Dragon Spirit, they rather accepted that Yun Ran, despite her prowess, was still flawed.

Now, feeling relaxed, their tone was much lighter.

They even felt sympathetic towards Yun Ran: "You can't blame yourself; though the Dragon Spirit transformed from a Jiao Dragon, it isn't something easily controlled. You've already done quite well."

Yun Ran immediately adopted a look of seeking recognition pitifully: "Really? It's not my fault?"

"Of course."

Duan Shouyuan also quickly agreed, "Exactly, it took advantage of your injury to escape. It's normal for you not to notice, and it's a good thing you left a Prohibition on it, otherwise, that would be real trouble."
