Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

The teapot and cups on the coffee table were all knocked over, and fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor, otherwise the clinking and clanking would have annoyed Yun Ran to death.

"Come here quickly, don't make me whip you!"

From the shadows, a face appeared that was neither human nor beast.

It was confronting Yun Ran with a vague presence, yelling at Yun Ran, "I've finally gained my freedom, I will never be a slave to you humans..."

It was just a short sentence, yet the voices were a mix of men, women, the elderly, and children.

Made up of various humans who had died tragically, sometimes it was the sob of children, sometimes screams of women, despairing men...

Listening to this, Yun Ran frowned and plugged her ears.

She loved dealing with these defiant creatures. With a snap of her fingers, the Little Paperman sprang into action, their hands emitting crackling electric flowers.

Two minutes later, the formerly yelling shadow was now crawling on the ground.

With a very flattering tone, it said: "Master, I am your most loyal slave~"

Hearing this, the Little Paperman became upset, this thing made up of who knows what, daring to address their master in the same way.

One of the Little Paperman slapped it across the face: "You're not worthy to call her Master!"

The shadow immediately burst into tears. In the past, it thrived on the fear of humans, wherever it went, it was like Purgatory on earth.

Now, to be slapped by a mere paper person.

"You should call her Lord!"

"Lord, I am your most loyal little slave~"

This immediately pleased the Little Paperman. What thing could compare to their rank? Humph!

Subdued by the discipline, the shadow became docile, and Yun Ran was immediately satisfied.

She showed the traces left by a curse, signaling the shadow to come over.

The shadow immediately flew over, looking utterly servile, but if you thought it was truly honest now, then you'd be a fool.

"I've heard that you feed on human fear, and where you are, nothing good ever happens?"

"A gross misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding, I never do bad deeds, just scavenge around for food..."

The shadow sniffed the cursed aura emanating from Yun Ran and almost instantly, it identified the source of this aura.

"Oh, is that so? Then you're useless!"

When the shadow heard this, thinking it might be disposed of = goner, it immediately panicked.

"Lord, I can also cause some destruction!"

"Really? Then let's see what use you can be. If you can't find the person, or if you disappoint me, you know the consequences."

"Yes, yes, yes."

At this moment, the shadow appeared extremely sincere, but in reality, it was extremely cunning.

Indeed, it would look for the owner of the cursed aura as per Yun Ran's request.

But as soon as it got out, it would never return - only a fool would come back!

However, its happiness lasted only two seconds before it heard Yun Ran continue, "Don't even think about running away, and don't think about harming other innocent people, otherwise, you won't even have the chance to be sealed."

At this moment, the Little Papermen cooperatively surrounded the shadow, each of them emitting crackling electric flowers.

That appearance, as if at the slightest disagreement, it would strike its own body with electric flowers indistinguishable from the aura of Heavenly Thunder.

The shadow shuddered inwardly, realizing it had narrowly avoided a fatal mistake.

When the shadow flew out the window, the piece of paper that had sealed it seemed to come to life, turning into a colorless, transparent thread that also flew out.

Once the shadow caused trouble, the seal would activate immediately.

The sealed shadow, though seemingly free, had been deprived of its freedom from the moment it was sealed, unless it died.

As for whether or not it was worried about not being a match for Rong Gu, or if it might be scattered by Rong Gu, that didn't matter.

To Yun Ran, these sealed shadows were merely waste being recycled.

The means for revenge having returned, the frustration in Yun Ran's heart instantly dissipated, and he returned to bed to continue sleeping.

That night, Yun Ran slept exceptionally well.

Yet in the Capital City, the quadrangle courtyard where Rong Gu resided suddenly seemed as if it had encountered a streak of bad luck.

Throughout the night, it as though all the pests of the whole city had rushed there to throw a party.

Not only was all sorts of food nibbled clean, but also all the furniture and other items were broken and dirty.

Even mice ran onto their bed, worth millions, to give birth.

The shadow, hiding not far away, watched as the quadrangle was thrown into chaos, sneering with a chilling, horrifying laugh.

This was just the appetizer it had sent; once these people were sufficiently tormented, it was going to bring down a major move to let them taste what despair truly felt like.

Rong Gu, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, now emerged from her room, her hair disheveled and dressed in pajamas.

Looking at the chaos everywhere, her eyes were filled with chill. Despite her presence, someone dared to play such tricks, which was a slap in her face.

Rong Gu looked around and merely flicked a few talismans. The pests that had been creating havoc immediately fled in fear.

The mice that had given birth abandoned their offspring and scurried away.

"I've found you!"

Rong Gu's gaze was fixed on the hiding spot of the shadow; evidently, she had truly discovered the shadow and was not merely bluffing.

The shadow, under such a gaze, was momentarily startled, feeling as if its heart skipped a beat even though it didn't have one.

Why was its fate so bitter? It didn't know how long it had been sealed, and just as it was about to gain freedom, it was threatened by Yun Ran; it wanted to escape, but alas, it could not.

Now, being stared at by that seemingly ordinary woman, it felt the same threat it felt from Yun Ran.

Just as the shadow was conflicted whether to flee or intensify the fear on these people.

It saw the woman remove the cloth wrapped around her hand, revealing a tattoo that instantly came alive.

It opened its big, bloody mouth and lunged directly at the shadow.

The shadow was so scared that its language system became disordered, feeling a suppression from its bloodline that left it immobilized.

In that moment, the thread that had been following the shadow swiftly entwined around it.

Just as the bloody mouth was about to bite it, the shadow was sealed back onto the paper.

A gentle breeze, coming from nowhere, lightly blew the paper, thin as cicada's wings, fluttering away quickly until it was out of sight.

Rong Gu frowned slightly; she indeed hadn't recognized what the troublemaking creature was, which caused her to unleash the beast on her arm.

But now, that presence had suddenly disappeared, and she lost track of that creature. The unleashed beast now looked around somewhat bewildered.
