Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

As Elder Gong's words fell, the previously panicked crowd quickly adjusted their state, and started to be on guard.

Xie Xuzhi was worried about Yun Ran, but he knew Yun Ran was not someone without calculations—if he had no trump cards, he would never have given him the Phoenix's feathers.

However, this still couldn't put his mind at ease, his brows tightly furrowed.

His gaze then fell on Ginsengfruit who was beside him, only to see that the latter's face bore no sign of worry, not like a child in the slightest.

Ginsengfruit didn't know that he had been targeted by Xie Xuzhi.

Previously, he was stunned by that dark void, which was why he hadn't informed the Host immediately.

Now, he still couldn't contact the Host. It was the second time that the connection had been severed since he bonded with the Host.

On the other hand, Wan Ji thought that Ginsengfruit's current state was due to shock, considering he was but a little tot.

Immediately feeling somewhat worried, he hurriedly comforted, "Your master is so powerful, he will definitely be fine!"

Although he hadn't met many from the Special Administration Bureau, that didn't stop Wan Ji from being sure that Yun Ran must be one of the best.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Ginsengfruit wasn't that worried; he was just replaying the two times he got disconnected from Yun Ran.

Previously, it was influenced by that sentient large tripod, and here now, it seemed to be that dark void instead of the Tomb Guardian Beast.

Ginsengfruit had always thought that since he and the Host transmigrated into the book, it had nothing to do with his past.

Yet he forgot, this small world existed within his System all along.

So, it was logical for something from his High-class World to appear in this small world.

Thinking of this, he immediately decided, once this mission ends, he would definitely have the Host check out that large tripod.

Maybe they could find the reason for the disconnection between him and the Host.

When Dragon Spirit arrived, the previously domineering Mo Zhi suddenly kneeled down lavishly.

Those who were staring at the trapped Black Robed People, seeing this scene, hadn't even time to react before losing consciousness.

Mo Zhi bowed very devoutly, respectfully exclaiming, "Greetings, great Dragon Spirit."

Unfortunately, Dragon Spirit had no mood to entertain her, the urgency of Yun Ran's summon demanded every second to be seized.

The Array's protective barrier carried Yun Ran's aura, which felt as smooth as returning home to Dragon Spirit.

The moment Dragon Spirit appeared, aside from Ginsengfruit and Xie Xuzhi who was being protected by Golden Feather, everyone else was knocked out by the intimidating pressure intentionally released by it.

They were attacked, but Golden Feather seemed to recognize 'its own', its shadow not only didn't surge, but in fact shrunk a lot.

Dragon Spirit looked puzzled at Ginsengfruit and Xie Xuzhi who were still standing, not understanding why these two didn't faint.

It wasn't until sensing Yun Ran's aura on these two that Dragon Spirit was somewhat speechless.

After coexisting with Yun Ran, beings tainted with Yun Ran's aura now received limited harm from him.

Looking around and not finding Yun Ran, Dragon Spirit's temper immediately flared up.

He directly asked Ginsengfruit and Xie Xuzhi, "Where is Yun Ran?"

Ginsengfruit pointed towards the direction where Yun Ran had disappeared, and Dragon Spirit dove over towards that direction instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the huge phantom of the Dragon Spirit disappeared.

Xie Xuzhi looked towards Ginsengfruit with a probing gaze, "Is that the Dragon Spirit Yun Ran mentioned before?"

Ginsengfruit nodded.

Thinking back to Yun Ran's previous "Wash White" rhetoric and now having seen the phantom of the Dragon Spirit with his own eyes, what more was there for Xie Xuzhi to not understand?

However, he didn't harbor any dissatisfaction, nor had he ever thought of investigating what sort of person Ginsengfruit actually was.

His gaze once again turned to the direction where Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit disappeared together.

From Yun Ran summoning the Dragon Spirit to its emergence at the tomb, it was actually just a minute or two.

Yun Ran was inwardly cursing this cunning General, but his face was flattering with a smile, "So you are the High Priest of the Witch Clan. I just misspoke earlier, mouth slipped, Witch Clan is amazing..."

The General, looking disdainfully at Yun Ran's somewhat fawning demeanor, said, "You are far inferior to your ancestors, too heavy on the performance art, and besides, the helper you found has already arrived, no need to stall for time."

Yun Ran: …

Damn, it's so annoying conversing with such a high-level guy!

When the Dragon Spirit charged in, it was shouting, "Who dares to be so bold to..."

Before it could finish its words, the once massive phantom was bound by the tentacles that emerged from a black hole, then shrank directly into a withered little dragon.

"I thought your helper was going to be some formidable being, turns out it's just a little loach, one with particularly poor aptitude too."

Yun Ran swallowed hard, then whispered, "If you tie him up, you won't be able to tie me up ~"

The Dragon Spirit, infuriated by Yun Ran's disloyal remarks, almost had its eyes bulging out in anger, thinking it was doing all this for whom!!!

Being captured was already very embarrassing, and now to be insulted as a little loach, it was unbearable.

Just as the Dragon Spirit was about to burst in anger to give a shock.

The General withdrew his tentacles, waved his hand, and the Dragon Spirit was flung out, crashing into Yun Ran.

The disdain in his tone became even more apparent, "Witch Clan of old only sought pure Dragon Vein spirits, a little loach like you only fits to be together with a half-blood useless person."

Yun Ran: …

Dragon Spirit: …

Well, there are many ways to insult someone, but this General spread it evenly, crushing both Yun Ran's and Dragon Spirit's spine.

But regardless of whether it was Yun Ran or Dragon Spirit, both had rebellious bones in them.

The Dragon Spirit was the first to retort, "You're the little loach, your whole family are loaches, I am a genuine Water Dragon! You old thing doomed to be ancient history a thousand years ago, really have a foul mouth!"

"Old thing? Compared to you, I am not, while you, after thousands of years, only got a chance to transform from Jiao Long to Dragon, yet you've even lost your freedom, huh~"

Who knew if it was because the General had filled his knowledge gap of nearly a thousand years from Yun Ran, his mouth was truly sharp, matching Yun Ran blow for blow.

The Dragon Spirit was instantly pissed off, but it confirmed that indeed, it was inferior to this tentacled old monster.

Immediately, it stared with round wide eyes at Yun Ran, you could tell it was genuinely angry, hoping Yun Ran would help reclaim some dignity.

Yun Ran paused for a moment, then said, "Um, High Priest, can we negotiate? Let's just speak nicely. Can we avoid personal attacks?

We do share some blood relations after all. Nowadays the Witch Clan is no more, and you only have me as a junior, give me some face~"
