Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Standing in a place of absolute safety, Xuan Chu looked at the Heavenly Thunder that clearly carried the aura of Heavenly Dao's punishment with a puzzled gaze.

He muttered to himself: "He is clearly a person abandoned by Heavenly Dao, and is predicted by Heavenly Dao to be a destroyer of worlds; how could he easily summon Heavenly Thunder?"

Xuan Chu's hands did not stop either, as he began to calculate the intentions of the heavens.

Before long, Xuan Chu figured out the result, but the result made him even more perplexed because for those abandoned by Heavenly Dao, it should have been strict and harsh.

Yet now, it seemed like he had calculated that Heavenly Dao was somewhat lenient towards Yun Ran's existence, turning a blind eye?

"What exactly is going on?"

However, even though sounds of calls for help were coming from the competition center, Xuan Chu did not move an inch.

The sound of Heavenly Thunder gradually decreased until it disappeared.

The Demon Sword, no longer possessing its previous imposing aura, shrank back to its original size and fell dirtily onto the ground.

The dust around it flew up, causing people to cough repeatedly.

Daoist Qingmu and others subdued the people whose souls had been captured, waving away the dust and slowly moving forward.

One of them waved his duster back and forth a few times, and the pervading dust seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.

The central area of the dust slowly revealed a clear side.

Only then did everyone see that the Demon Sword, which originally emitted black aura and looked dirty all over, was now as clean and shiny as if it had just been newly forged.

Yun Ran stepped forward, picked up a blackened stone next to the Demon Sword, and before everyone could react, she put the stone into her own bag.

Everyone: ...

At this moment, they seemingly had no grounds to question or ask Yun Ran to take out the stone.

After all, they had seen earlier that the stone was Yun Ran's own.

But still, many were curious, wanting to know exactly what this object was.

Yun Ran had already picked up the purified Demon Sword.

"Um, it feels good."

A few old men who looked like street sweepers came over; their gazes fell on the Demon Sword.

Soon, their brows furrowed. Just by one look, they confirmed that the Sword Spirit had disappeared.

That is to say, now this sword could only be considered a sharp weapon and there was no need for the Dragon Locking Chain anymore.

If they had not seen with their own eyes the Heavenly Thunder purifying and tempering this Demon Sword, they would suspect that someone had switched it right under their noses.

Just as Yun Ran was about to say something, a sharp and piercing voice of the Dragon Spirit suddenly came to her ears: [Quickly get rid of these people!!!]

"Can you put away this chain? I feel a bit uneasy~"

The old men looked at Yun Ran with some surprise. Although the chain is called the Dragon Locking Chain, for these people of Xuan Sect, it is only a Magic Artifact.

"Put the things away!"

The voice of Xie Xuzhi sounded from behind them and although the old men were puzzled, they still obediently put away the chain.

These people were all family members designated to guard the Demon Sword.

Although they are also considered Xuanmen people, in their lifetimes, they only learned one skill, which was how to use the Dragon Locking Chain.

Xie Xuzhi sized up Yun Ran from head to toe, apart from being a bit dirty and having injuries on her hands, there were no other injuries.

This finally allowed Xie Xuzhi to feel relieved.

"You should go back and bandage your wounds first."

Yun Ran nodded, then handed the sword to an old man beside her, and Ginsengfruit quickly jumped out to act as Yun Ran's walking stick, although she didn't actually need it.

But her body was covered with too much dust and sweat, which made her feel uncomfortable; she needed to go back to change her clothes and wash up.

Yun Ran did not worry about the subsequent matters and soon returned to her own small courtyard.

Ginsengfruit carefully applied medicine to the wounds in the palm of Yun Ran's hand.

With a glint of pain in his eyes, he thought the scars on his host's palms were too numerous, and those palm lines had been damaged.

Dragon Spirit also came back quietly, his eyes full of fear from the ordeal.

Seeing Yun Ran go to wash up, he directly flopped onto the sofa, also not expecting to encounter a Magic Artifact that could trap him.

By the time Yun Ran had finished washing up, Dragon Spirit seemed still not to have recovered.

"What are you doing, you look like you've lost your soul!"

Dragon Spirit looked up, his eyes somewhat resentful as he spoke: "I thought after the Body Seizing, I could live whatever kind of life I wanted.

I didn't expect that ahead of me was you, this little madcap watching me, and behind me the Dragon Locking Chain threatening me…"

Thinking of something, Dragon Spirit suddenly sprung up, his eyes filled with a hint of fear: "Do you think someone might covet my abilities, then try every means to frame me, making me a target for everyone to gang upon.

Then, they would openly capture me, imprison me, torture me, force me. I've seen it all like that on TV!!!"

Yun Ran looked somewhat speechless, directly sat down on the sofa, and Ginsengfruit quickly brought over a hairdryer to start drying Yun Ran's hair.

"Don't you think too highly of yourself? Also, you don't seem to respect me enough!"

Yun Ran had already prepared defenses for the worries of Dragon Spirit. How could she not know about crimes attributed to those possessing valuables?

That's why she had made Dragon Spirit's identity official.

With Dragon Spirit's temperamental nature, who knew when someone might frame him, not only putting himself in trouble but also implicating her.

"You are now part of the Special Administration Bureau, no matter how much infighting there is within the agency, if someone dares to scheme against one of their own, they won't just sit by and watch."

In many situations, as long as your mission isn't questionable, even the biggest accusation couldn't fall on you.

Seeing Yun Ran's calm and composed appearance, Dragon Spirit's initially anxious heart also finally settled down a bit.

At this moment, he felt a bit of what it was like to have powerful backing.

"I must warn you, you need to memorize the regulations of the Special Administration Bureau quickly, as long as you don't violate their rules, even if the emperor came, you would be safe!"

If it were before, Dragon Spirit would have scoffed at such words, but now, he planned to thoroughly learn all the rules of the Special Administration Bureau.

"I will go now!"

Saying so, Dragon Spirit immediately ran off, he was a Dragon Spirit who loved to learn!!!

In the days that followed, Yun Ran lay in the courtyard resting and healing her wounds, with food and drink and nothing to worry about, exactly her favorite kind of days.

On the third day, Dragon Spirit finally came out of the study, his whole being exuding an aura of 'I love studying'.
