Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Yun Ran's way of expressing goodwill and friendliness was to hand over the tablet: "Everyone, feel free to choose!"

Dragon Spirit was the first to choose, immediately feeling smug again, but he wouldn't say it, just watching everyone with a secret thrill.

Daoist Qingmu and others had truly come to congratulate Yun Ran, but unexpectedly, Yun Ran suddenly handed them the tablet, which made them a bit embarrassed.

Just as they were about to politely decline, Taoist Xia eagerly stretched out his hand, saying with a smile, "Then I won't be shy about it, ha."

After all, he was the one who had the nerve to directly ask to borrow money from Yun Ran before. To him, shame was completely optional.

Not to mention that on the list of rewards, there really was something he wanted.

The others weren't fussy either, and of course, they could see that Yun Ran wasn't just being polite.

Now that Taoist Xia had started to joyfully make his selection, they also gathered around, planning to give Yun Ran some return gifts later.

At this moment, Yun Ran quietly left the courtyard and returned to the room, where Ginsengfruit already had the medical kit out.

Although the palm wound had stopped bleeding, Ginsengfruit was still a bit distressed.

"Host, we haven't even been in this small world for a year, look at your palms, they're already full of wounds."

The original owner of the body wasn't much favored in the Yun Family, but she was still raised delicately, with soft, flawless hands. Now the lines in her palms were somewhat jumbled.

Yun Ran casually extended her hand, waiting for Ginsengfruit to bandage her up.

In a tone as ordinary as ever, she said, "What's a little wound like this, the body I had before had even more wounds."

Even with her exceptional talent, to stand out among a group of geniuses as a naïve and ignorant child and become the heir, the sweat and blood she had shed were not easily summed up in a sentence or two.

She still remembered the first time she went on a mission, due to her lack of combat experience, she was ambushed by a little fox demon, which left a gory wound on her back that revealed bone.

Now, these little injuries were nothing at all.

Ginsengfruit was swift, quickly wrapping up Yun Ran's palm.

At this time, Dragon Spirit also walked in and saw the white bandage on Yun Ran's palm.

Although there was no blood seeping through, he found the bandage somewhat irritating to the eye.

But as the proud Dragon Spirit he was, he would never admit any concern.

"You humans really are fragile. It's just a little injury, and yet it needs bandaging!"

Yun Ran: ...

"Have you forgotten that you're also inhabiting a human body now, and only a body strong enough like this one could host you.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to withstand a life form like you; you might fall ill every few days or the body might even split open!"

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you. I'm going to sleep, call me when it's time to eat!"

Yun Ran once again regretted bonding with Dragon Spirit, finding its mouth especially annoying.

The people outside choosing their rewards were very considerate, each only picking two or three items they needed before returning the tablet.

Daoist Qingmu and others expressed their gratitude once more and left with good grace.

Only Taoist Xia lingered, dawdling until everyone else had left before rushing up to Yun Ran with a sycophantic smile.

"Don't smile like that, it scares me~"

The last time Taoist Xia smiled in such a way, it was when he was borrowing money. This time it wasn't about borrowing money, but it was definitely not for anything good.

Taoist Xia reined in his smile a bit, but still gave off the vibe that he was a Wolf Grandma in disguise.

"So, remember how I got that Nine Yang Grass before? According to the Array you gave me, the evil spirit Qi from that ancient battlefield has indeed been totally cleared out.

You know what, that Nine Yang Grass is really effective, I only used half of it and still have the other half left.

I recall you're pretty skilled at alchemy, could you bother to help me turn the last half of the Nine Yang Grass into medicine? I've prepared all the related materials."

Yun Ran knew for sure this guy wouldn't come knocking unless he was up to no good.

"There are plenty of people skilled at making medicine, why come to me!"

"I can't trust anyone else, and, you know, that Nine Yang Grass is a real treasure. I can't stand the thought of others wasting it."

What Taoist Xia didn't mention was that after he cleared the evil spirit Qi from that ancient battlefield, he kinda made a name for himself within their Xuan Sect circles.

There are already many people who know he has some Nine Yang Grass left with excellent medicinal properties.

They say money moves the heart, but Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures tug on it too.

Nine Yang Grass might not be some peerless heavenly treasure, but it's rare and specifically counters evil spirits. Look, quite a few people have been snooping around, trying to get him to part with it.

Taoist Xia is not stingy, if it was a matter of life and death, he wouldn't hesitate to offer it up even if no one else asked.

But now, those people are just hoarding it for themselves, which really irks him.

Having someone else make the medicine would be a waste which would pain him. And if they asked for a share, should he give it or not?

If Yun Ran does the refinement, it's different. It wouldn't be a waste, and Yun Ran has more Nine Yang Grass than him, wouldn't be interested in his trivial possessions.

Seeing Yun Ran unmoved, Taoist Xia instantly put on a pitiful face, "Please, please…"

If Taoist Xia were using his real appearance, it wouldn't have seemed so out of place.

But now, with his wretched old man's face, Yun Ran just felt her eyes hurt.

"All right, all right, I agree already!"

Yun Ran, who usually cannot resist giving in to 'friends', really had no way to refuse.

"Bring me your materials later."

"Hehe, I knew you're the best. We're pals through thick and thin~"

Hearing this, Yun Ran quickly moved her body further away from Taoist Xia, showing with her actions that she really found him quite repulsive right now!

Unfortunately, Taoist Xia had already grown very familiar with Yun Ran, and didn't care one bit about her 'repulsion.'

Now finally in the mood to take a good look at the small courtyard where Yun Ran lived.

"This courtyard must have been prepared by Gu Chu, right? It's really nice. Gu Chu will definitely prepare a celebration banquet for you tonight.

Please tell the kitchen that I like steamed lobsters and crabs; they should prepare some extra."

Ginsengfruit, watching Taoist Xia act as if he were not an outsider at all, even to the point of ordering dishes, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

But as low-key as he was, he was still spotted by Taoist Xia.

"This must be your little apprentice, right? Such a lively one, very smart at first glance. I'll bring over some Xuan Sect entrance materials later, getting a good foundation for kids is important!"

Ginsengfruit: …

Who else would be so kind to focus on someone else's kid studying!
