Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Yun Ran looked at the people present with a clear gaze and picked up a juice: "Thank you all for giving me face."

"You're being too polite, girl. What kind of relationship do we have!"

"Exactly, if you keep talking like this, it would seem like you're treating us as outsiders."

...

The people Yun Ran invited to support her, regardless of whether they genuinely considered Yun Ran a junior or saw a profitable opportunity.

But their presence represented their attitude, and Yun Ran would naturally be courteous.

After drinking a cup of yogurt, Taoist Xia leaned in close to Yun Ran and whispered, "A lot of people have chosen to form alliances, and their first target is you. You need to be careful."

Previous competitions had seen such situations.

Many people would band together at the very start to eliminate the most likely winner and then compete for supremacy.

This tactic was indeed a bit underhanded, but it worked. He had seen too many people unfortunately defeated by it.

Yun Ran chuckled lightly, her face showing not the slightest bit of worry, and her eyes even flashed with a trace of excitement.

Taoist Xia instantly felt that he was overthinking. Yun Ran, with her personality, got more excited the more people came at her.

"They're the ones who should be careful, I'm not who I used to be!"

Taoist Xia thought Yun Ran was referring to her age or experience, so she wasn't afraid of their schemes.

In reality, Yun Ran was talking about the Sword Intent she had received from the elder, which meant none in the Xuan Sect was her match now.

Unless someone managed to perform an Ascension right there and then, they would only be able to be beaten by her.

"Just be aware of this yourself."

Daoist Qingmu and his group didn't stay long after exchanging news with Yun Ran, as they had many old friends to visit on the way.

After everyone had left, Yun Ran finally took out the information Daoist Qingmu and the others had given her to study closely.

Although she was confident, knowing oneself and the enemy would ensure victory in a hundred battles. They say even in the gutter, ships can capsize; she needed to be cautious.

Meanwhile, Dragon Spirit was trailing behind Xie Xuzhi feeling extremely frustrated. He really didn't want Yun Ran to get her way, but he couldn't resist the temptation (coercion) of having his identity fully exposed.

What angered him the most was that Yun Ran made him come here, yet didn't even give him an address.

"How much longer until we arrive?"

Dragon Spirit looked at Xie Xuzhi with complaint in his eyes, and his presence severely disrupted the celestial and refined air that Xie Xuzhi's face would normally exude.

Xie Xuzhi looked at this face, which was identical to the "mastermind" previously identified in Yinghua Country.

He then understood why Yun Ran had suddenly exposed this guy's identity; it was clear she was worried that Dragon Spirit, not under her control, would drag her down.

"We'll arrive when it's time to arrive!"

Dragon Spirit rolled his eyes in speechlessness; wasn't that stating the obvious!

However, he dared not reveal his claws to directly confront Xie Xuzhi.

Otherwise, Yun Ran, that lunatic, would truly scatter his Divine Soul.

Who would have thought that he, a Primordial Spirit, would one day be subject to restrictions by a mere human, utterly losing face for generations of his ancestors.

Unable to fight, he could only find verbal solace: "Your human transportation is truly backward. Unlike me, I could be there in an instant if I wished..."

The only pity was that Yun Ran, that lunatic, refused to share the address with him, otherwise none of these troubles would have happened.

Just remembering how he had to prove himself to Xie Xuzhi to get him to guide him here, even pulling out his Dragon Spirit to show Xie Xuzhi, made him feel incredibly aggrieved.

Xie Xuzhi looked unmoved, but the turmoil within his heart had only just subsided.

"Don't forget, now that you've Body Seized a human identity, you are human and must abide by human rules. I thought you were aware of this when you sought me out."

His words were a warning to Dragon Spirit: don't cause trouble or think of exploiting any special status.

No matter how powerful, you're still under Yun Ran's control.

Dragon Spirit: ...

Damn, he hated these deep and scheming types the most.

Especially since this person was on good terms with Yun Ran. The two of them, hand in hand, were bullying him, this 'kind and frail' Primordial Spirit!!!

"Hmph!"

Even if he was temporarily at a disadvantage, Dragon Spirit had no plans to stay quiet. He snorted coldly and stood up to wander around.

From time to time, he looked outside through the window, only to see the boundless vast sea.

A wicked smile appeared on his face; the sea was his territory, and if he caused an accident with the airplane...

Then everyone would fall into the sea and be eaten by sharks! (sinister laugh)

But as soon as this thought arose, the annoying face of Yun Ran came to mind, and his smile collapsed immediately.

In the midst of Dragon Spirit's fantasy of '108 ways to kill these annoying humans,' the airplane finally landed.

Dragon Spirit suddenly felt a sense of freedom. To others, the slightly fishy sea breeze was offensive, but to him, it was incredibly familiar.

Meanwhile, at the island's central control, what had been a calm sea surface suddenly exhibited an astonishing scene.

The marine animals within a hundred miles, swimming freely, suddenly began to desperately flee towards the periphery, all without exception.

The person monitoring the equipment stared in disbelief: "What's happening? Why do these sea animals look as if they've encountered a fearsome predator?"

Such an abnormal phenomenon could not be concealed by the monitoring personnel, who immediately reported it up the chain.

Quickly, senior personnel arrived, and seeing the situation on the monitors, they too were shocked; the island was hosting quite a few people.

When there's abnormality, there must be a monster. Could it be a tsunami or some other disaster?

"Send someone to check immediately what has happened, and also, release all the previous robots that are used for deep-sea exploration!"

"Yes, boss!"

The already busy staff at all levels, due to this anomaly, instantly initiated a level-ten emergency protocol.

Yun Ran, who had been lying on the sofa casually planning who to eliminate first, heard the piercing sound of an alarm outside.

Ginsengfruit was particularly sensitive to this kind of alarm and immediately put down the snacks in its hands: "Host, something's happened!"

The loudspeakers on the roof also blared a deep voice: "Attention all personnel, proceed immediately to the emergency shelter!!!"
