Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Xin Fu felt a bit awkward, forcing a smile that looked rather unpleasant: "Lady Yun, you're up."

Yun Ran glanced at the stone bench beside her, indicating to Xin Fu: "Sit."

Xin Fu couldn't quite understand the relaxed demeanor of Yun Ran, but it significantly eased his anxiety.

"Lady Yun, you know everything?"

Looking at Xin Fu's upright posture, Yun Ran inexplicably felt that she, acting so boneless, didn't look like a decent person at all.

"What are your plans?"

Xin Fu thought Yun Ran would ask what he'd found out, but unexpectedly, she asked a rather unimportant question.

"Rest assured, Lady Yun, I would never backstab you..."

Seeing Xin Fu so nervous, like he was afraid that even a slight delay would make him seem disloyal.

Yun Ran suddenly found it a bit amusing. She had previously thought Xin Fu was an experienced operator, relying on her to make his way outside.

Who would've thought, seeing him like this, he's clearly not seasoned enough, not even compared to her junior apprentices, at least those youngsters would never show fear in front of anyone.

"I, for one, always trust those I employ, you don't need to be nervous."

Xin Fu, who was quite tense, actually felt much more relaxed after Yun Ran's words.

Then, he quickly shared what he had found out; it matched closely with Yun Ran's guesses.

As for someone wanting to recruit him, but he firmly refused them, Xin Fu didn't mention, not out of fear that Yun Ran might suspect him.

He just felt that talking about it would bring a certain shameful sense of 'boasting.'

After hearing him out, Yun Ran chuckled lightly. She was now a little curious about what those people's brains were made of.

Did they really think because they'd "split the sky" with Xie Xuzhi's forces before, they were really that awesome?

Didn't they notice at all that Xie Xuzhi's attack on them was a complete descent into dimensional derogation?

Yet, these people thought they were strong enough, and seeing Xie Xuzhi at a disadvantage, they really believed they could trample him to death.

Thinking about Xie Xuzhi's previous behaviors of deliberately holding back, Yun Ran suddenly felt that Xie Xuzhi was truly unkind.

Before, he was just bullying fools, playing them around, and now he's uprooting them completely.

"I'm leaving here tomorrow..."

As she spoke, Yun Ran stood up, with a clearly mischievous gleam in her eyes.

"Just a reminder, you might as well consider this period of chaos as a break for yourself. Don't end up like others, working yourself to the bone for nothing."

Yun Ran didn't directly tell Xin Fu that it was all a setup; many things had to be understood by oneself.

If he couldn't understand even this implicit meaning, she'd have to throw Xin Fu into practice for a few years.

It's not just about being smart and capable for those who want to stay by her side.

Xin Fu didn't have the upbringing of an aristocratic family or a deeply rooted Sect, and he lacked a lot.

At this moment, though he understood Yun Ran's words had underlying meanings, he couldn't accurately analyze just how many meanings there were.

Fortunately, his greatest advantage was that he would gradually ponder over things he didn't understand, and he was obedient.

"I'll leave tomorrow, and during this time, I've been preparing for the upcoming competition, so it's been a while since I last went home. I suppose it's a good time to go back for a bit."

Yun Ran waved her hand, and Xin Fu respectfully bowed to Yun Ran before turning and leaving.

As he left, Ginsengfruit finally spoke: "Host, it seems Xin Fu only understood half of it."

"He's just lacking in experience. After he interacts more with Xie Xuzhi's confidants, he will naturally grow. At this stage, listening is enough."

"But if we all leave, what about Dragon Spirit, who is still at the bottom of the sea?"

Yun Ran immediately spread her hands: "Tough luck, I'm not his mom; I can't handle everything. Besides, he's originally a Water Dragon, and being at the bottom of the sea only benefits him.

He needs at least a month to fully absorb the Azure Dragon Dragon Core. I can't stay here and wait for him!"

Earlier, she had set up many defensive and attack formations for Dragon Spirit. Even those who previously could use the Dragon Locking Chain were helpless against him.

The 'abandoned' Dragon Spirit was arduously absorbing the Dragon Core at this moment, but fortunately, he had already recovered some awareness, only his body couldn't move.

Because Yun Ran had layered defenses and attacks in a sandwich formation, Dragon Spirit's aura was well-concealed.

The surrounding sea creatures showed no fear, swimming around him back and forth.

But perhaps due to a symbiotic relationship, when Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit left the island, Dragon Spirit, who had just regained partial consciousness, forcibly opened his eyes.

The sea turtle, who was eating small fish, seemed to get a fright the moment Dragon Spirit opened his eyes.

It turned its head to look in Dragon Spirit's direction, then suddenly spat out the little fish from its mouth.

Its feet paddled desperately, speeding towards Dragon Spirit.

[Oh no, benefactor has fallen into the water. This is the deep sea; if a person falls here, they'll definitely drown!]

Ever since receiving the Merit Golden Light from Yun Ran, the sea turtle's spiritual wisdom had increased significantly.

If before its wisdom was equivalent to a four or five-year-old child, now at least it was at the level of a seven or eight-year-old.

[Benefactor, you must hold on, I'm coming to save you!]

The sea turtle used all its strength, finally arriving, but the scene before it left it dumbfounded.

Where did its great benefactor go?

It was sure of sensing the benefactor's aura, the same as the Merit Golden Light on itself, an unmistakable feeling.

Yet now, after swimming around a couple of times, there wasn't even the shadow of a person.

The sea turtle quickly began asking the other marine creatures around if there was a person who fell into the sea nearby.

After asking around, it really did get some information.

The sea turtle swam and swam, finally finding a person in a crevice between rocks.

But no matter how it looked, this person didn't seem like its benefactor, and besides, when did the benefactor become a man?

After pondering for a long time, the sea turtle concluded with its current mind; it couldn't comprehend such a profound question.

Rescuing was the priority, so it swam towards the crevice immediately.

However, the sea turtle evidently forgot its size, comparable to a basin.

As a result, due to its speed, it got stuck directly in the rock crevice.

[Ahhh! Help! I'm stuck!!!]
