Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Dragon Spirit watched Yun Ran playing with her phone, pacing back and forth in the living room for several rounds, but no one paid any attention to him.

He could only coyly cough lightly to give a hint.

As a result, Yun Ran just lifted her eyelids briefly and then went back to her phone.

Dragon Spirit became displeased, moving right in front of Yun Ran: "Aren't you going to ask how well I've memorized it?"

This time, Yun Ran didn't even lift her eyelids, her eyes fixed on the phone screen.

She said, "If you can't even memorize these simple regulations, then I might have to consider whether it'd be better to hand you over to be locked up."

Dragon Spirit: ...

As expected, Yun Ran, this little lunatic, was truly annoying, and he had his reasons for not liking her!

"Hmph!"

Dragon Spirit glared at Yun Ran fiercely, but then his eyes suddenly fixed on something.

He then frowned, "Why do you have the aura of the Demon Sword's Sword Spirit? Wasn't it destroyed by lightning?"

Finally, Yun Ran put down her phone, her eyes looking somewhat unfriendly at Dragon Spirit, and she didn't like him either because his gaze was too effective.

"What's it to you!"

Hearing Yun Ran's answer, what didn't Dragon Spirit understand?

"No, are you seriously ill or something? It was one thing to form a Symbiotic Contract with me, but now you even dare to take in the Demon Sword's Sword Spirit!

You're really not afraid of being regarded as a heretic and have everyone come after you."

Dragon Spirit felt he was already wildly lawless, but compared to Yun Ran, he suddenly felt like he was an obedient 'good person.'

He couldn't fathom where Yun Ran, this little girl, got such courage from. She really dared to drag anything into her arms.

But seeing Yun Ran's unconcerned attitude, Dragon Spirit felt his future was bleak.

After holding back for a while, he continued, "That Sword Spirit is wicked, even if you destroyed its physical form, it still has ways to harm you..."

The lawless Dragon Spirit was actually giving Yun Ran such earnest and well-meaning advice, it was indeed a sight to behold.

"Just mind your own business, my matters are not your concern!"

Trying rare to be good for once, and yet Yun Ran was being so dismissive, Dragon Spirit was upset and turned to leave.

It wasn't until Dragon Spirit's figure disappeared that Yun Ran reached out to take out the piece of the shattered altar stone.

At this moment, her gaze was laced with a hint of speechlessness.

Could she say that she initially didn't intend to take in the Sword Spirit?

She had just thought that the power of the altar was huge because it was activated by the Heavenly Thunder and her blood.

Ordinary methods might not have been capable of destroying the Demon Sword, and that's why she considered using the power of the Heavenly Thunder and the altar to destroy it.

Little did she expect that while the Demon Sword was indeed destroyed, the Sword Spirit was absorbed by the shattered altar stone.

Looking at the pitch-black altar stone, Yun Ran was also curious about the material it was made from, as it was capable of absorbing such a formidable entity like the Sword Spirit.

Yun Ran looked to Ginsengfruit: "Can you sense the aura of the Sword Spirit?"

Ginsengfruit placed a hand over the broken stone. After a while, it nodded, then shook its head.

Luckily, Ginsengfruit knew Yun Ran's temperament well and didn't beat around the bush.

He answered directly: "I am the System itself, and my current body is a Magic Artifact, vaguely similar to a Sword Spirit, so I can sense its presence.

Dragon Spirit is also a powerful Life, and to put it simply, within hundreds of miles, as long as it wishes, it can sense the presence of any Life.

But if it's a human, even a very formidable one, it would be very difficult to detect this Sword Spirit's existence.

Host, you were able to sense its presence because both the broken stones and the Demon Sword were stained with your blood, and your blood has become a bridge for connection."

Yun Ran immediately understood what Ginsengfruit meant; she could sense the Sword Spirit absorbed by the altar's stones because of her blood.

But for others, even the best among the Special Administration Bureau might not be able to detect the Sword Spirit's presence.

Yun Ran's gaze still lingered on the stones, but she remained uneasy.

After consideration, Yun Ran took out some talismans she had drawn when she had nothing better to do and piled them onto the altar stones as if they were worthless.

It wasn't until the pitch-black surface of the stones gradually shed its dark color.

Yun Ran glanced at Ginsengfruit who, without any need for further words, understood her intentions and hurriedly sensed for the Swords Spirit's presence again.

After a good while, Ginsengfruit shook its head: "I can no longer sense the Sword Spirit's presence."

Following that, Yun Ran marked the stone and tossed it into her pile of old metal scraps she couldn't bear to throw away.

"This altar stone seems to be a good item; next time, I have to ask Xie Xuzhi for more."

Back when they were in Yinghua Country, the altar had been destroyed, and all those stones were collected by the folks from the Special Administration Bureau.

Not knowing their usefulness before, Yun Ran merely picked up a few casually, but now that she understood their value, not taking them would be a waste.

After Dragon Spirit stepped out, it saw the previously messy and nearly destroyed testing center was now tidied up.

Apart from some minor traces, it no longer looked as if it had suffered major damage.

Some recognized Dragon Spirit as the person who followed Yun Ran, and their attitude was exceptionally warm.

"Long, are you out for a stroll~"

"Long, have you eaten yet? Today we just air-freighted some steaks."

"Long..."

Besides those on the higher rungs, the others didn't know Dragon Spirit's real identity, let alone that it was not even human.

Dragon Spirit looked around at the overly enthusiastic crowd, clearly uncomfortable, especially as they surrounded him, making him feel stiff all over.

It was only when Daoist Qingmu and his party arrived that he was finally rescued.

"What are they doing? Why have they suddenly changed their behavior, giving me the creeps!!!"

Seeing Dragon Spirit's discomfort, the expressions on the others' faces showed their understanding.

"They're trying to curry favor with Yun Ran, but the higher-ups have given the order: no one is allowed to bother her these days.

So now, these people are approaching those close to Yun Ran, like you and me."

Dragon Spirit instantly understood; turns out he was being used as a stepping stone by these people, tsk, what wishful thinking. If Yun Ran could be so easily manipulated, would he be involved?

"They are likely to be disappointed because Yun Ran is not someone who lets just anyone catch her eye, she's too greedy for that."
