Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Being mocked and scorned was something those skilled in both covert and overt scheming could easily endure.

However, being ridiculed by a temp worker was like dancing on their heads, utterly intolerable!

"How dare you, you insolent…"

Dragon Spirit continued leisurely sitting, watching the live feed, uninterested in petty squabbles with these inexperienced fools.

In the video, Yun Ran had put on a mask and a blindfold and then leapt forward.

The gauze firmly tied everyone behind Yun Ran. Xin Fu was psychologically prepared, but soon, he sensed something was amiss.

Even with the help of a Magic Artifact, the rapid descent should have some impact on the body.

Yet now, he felt no discomfort at all, not even the weightlessness one feels when an elevator descends.

He looked at the gauze tied around his wrist; their descent speed was not slower than anyone else's.

The other three, their faces also held expressions of shock. After exchanging glances, they immediately realized the uniqueness of the gauze.

One of them thought for a moment, his eyes shifting, and then he reached out, trying to untangle the gauze around his wrist.

He had a parachute on him, so even if he left the team now, it wouldn't cause him any fatal harm.

However, despite his best efforts, he couldn't remove the gauze wrapped around his wrist.

At this moment, the gauze seemed to lightly cover his hand without causing any discomfort.

But when he actually touched it, he discovered that the gauze was much harder than he had imagined.

Still disbelieving, he struggled to pull out a knife from his waist and aimed it at the gauze on his wrist, attempting to cut through.

The knife in his hand was said to cut through iron like mud. His grandfather wouldn't have allowed him to use it if not for this mission.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle…"

The knife, capable of cutting through iron, made a sizzling sound when it touched the soft gauze, yet the gauze remained unscarred.

Instead, the blade of the knife now had several small notches.

This scene left the viewers of the live feed utterly dumbfounded.

Especially those who recognized the knife, disbelief filled their eyes.

"How can this be? This Fire Tongue can easily cut through ten centimeters thick steel."

"What on earth is this gauze made of? Fire Tongue is one of the ten famous swords, yet it can't even cut through a thin strip of gauze!"

"Someone, go and check, we must find out the origin of this gauze!"

…

Gu Yuan was also shocked by this scene. He knew Yun Ran had many good items, but he didn't expect them to be this exceptional.

Fortunately, he was an honest person, otherwise, given the current situation, he would definitely be tempted to steal the treasure.

Initially, he had resolved not to talk to Dragon Spirit.

Now, curious about the gauze, he shifted his seat towards Dragon Spirit.

He quietly asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Dragon Spirit glanced at Gu Yuan and scoffed, "Hah, you ask as if I am obliged to answer!"

"You probably don't know either!"

Faced with Gu Yuan's provocative tactic, Dragon Spirit looked at the others who seemed indifferent, but were actually all ears.

He hinted pointedly: "Of course I know. This thing recognizes its owner. You can forget about escaping. You've heard of Ghost World's Soul-locking Chain, Immortal World's Immortal Binding Chain, right? This thing binds people. Unless the owner says otherwise, don't even think about breaking free!"

Whether the others believed him, no one knew, but Gu Yuan did.

His eyes filled with envy. He hadn't expected that Yun Ran possessed such an item specially for binding people.

Dragon Spirit didn't whisper his words, so soon, everyone at the competition center knew about it.

Some believed, others scoffed at his words.

"Nonsense, no ghost would believe that. Just because Fire Tongue couldn't handle it doesn't mean the gauze is so powerful to be compared with Ghost World's Soul-locking Chain or Immortal World's Immortal Binding Chain."

"But, that person seems to be in league with Yun Ran. Saying such a thing in front of so many prominent members of the Xuan Sect, it must be true. If it's proven false, they won't have the face to stand in Xuan Sect."

"I also think it's true. If it was some other department, maybe they could boast to enhance their prestige. But Special Administration Bureau isn't like that. Those who are just relationship hires can only do office work. Those who carry out tasks outside must have real skills; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died."

…

At this moment, with her parachute open, Yun Ran had no idea that a little prank by her team members had caused so many people to start paying attention to her.

Finally landing, they settled on a small island made of rocks, which seemed to be the size of a few soccer fields.

With a loud "bang!" Yun Ran turned towards the sound.

Oh, it was someone who had jumped at about the same time as them. They probably didn't master the technique and went straight into the sea, causing a high splash.

Watching this was just like watching a fish being fried.

Yun Ran wordlessly shifted her gaze back and began to remove the parachute from herself.

Xin Fu and the others didn't bother watching the person who fell into the water. As for rescuing him, that was even more unlikely given he was now their enemy.

Besides, they weren't worried about him dying prematurely. Being from the Xuan Sect, if he died so easily, perhaps it was for the better, at least his body would remain intact.

Otherwise, such a useless person would have disappeared completely if they had been tasked with an external mission, and might have dragged many comrades down with him.

Having unstrapped the necessary gear, Yun Ran didn't plan to put away the gauze.

"Lady Yun, we are safe now, shouldn't you take the gauze off?"

The speaker was the one who had previously tried to cut the gauze with the Fire Tongue knife.

Yun Ran looked at him with a half-smile: "Don't worry, this gauze won't hinder your actions too much, just slightly restricts them."

The man exploded immediately: "Why should you? This is restricting our personal freedom!"

Yun Ran delivered a palm strike, the man couldn't dodge, and fell heavily to the ground.

Following that, Yun Ran stepped on his stomach. It didn't seem forceful, but he felt as if his internal organs were shifting.

"Remember, I don't like being contradicted. And remember, trash doesn't have the right to speak!"
