Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

What's in your heart is one thing, but what comes out of your mouth is naturally another.

"Buy, of course I'll buy. But, Master Yun, can I buy a few more? My family..."

Yun Ran nodded. She was already prepared. Selling talismans was an additional source of income, and every penny earned counts.

In the end, Yun Ran sold ten talismans.

"Once you're feeling better, I'll come back, and then, you'll go with me to your Northeast hometown. To solve this problem, we have to start from the source."

Luo Rusheng finally encountered someone who could truly solve his problem, so he was unwilling to wait and immediately said, "I'm fine now, we can go right away!"

Yun Ran gave him a sideways glance, annoyed. Xuanmen people, in some aspects, are very similar to doctors.

They hate it when people don't follow 'medical advice.' If it were possible to leave now, would she waste time?

The earlier she completes this project, the sooner she receives the reward money, which is a hundred million.

The sooner it's in hand, the interest would be considerable.

"I just removed the death energy from your body, and you think you're fine. Without the life energy from the Top Scholar Mansion protecting you, you would have been gone.

If you step out now, you'll be entangled again. With your current fragile, 'crispy' body, another bout will have you gasping!"

Of course, what Yun Ran didn't say was that if she insisted on protecting this person, she could, but it would consume a lot of her spiritual energy and wasn't worth it.

Luo Rusheng felt a bit regretful, but he never doubted Yun Ran's words, nor thought she was weak.

On the contrary, Yun Ran now seemed to him as the most powerful Dark Master he could possibly encounter.

"Sorry, Master Yun, I didn't understand..."

"No worries, take care and rest up first. I'm leaving, and I'll come find you when the time is right."

With that, Yun Ran lifted her foot and walked outside, while Ginsengfruit hurriedly pushed his big box to catch up.

Luo Rusheng quickly asked, "Master, how can I find you once my health is restored?"

Yun Ran didn't even turn her head, saying, "When you're physically fit enough, I'll naturally know."

Luo Rusheng felt a bit anxious but dared not say more. He quickly looked outside to the elderly man in the reception room.

"Uncle, please see Master Yun off."

The elderly man, who looked rather scruffy, seemingly at the brink of death, was in fact sharp-eyed and had heard everything Yun Ran and the others said.

His family had served the Luo Family for generations. Even though it's not the norm now for one to remain a servant for life with their descendants also as servants, he still regarded Luo Rusheng as his master.

Just earlier, he clearly heard the master's voice sounding much stronger than before. Though he didn't know what Yun Ran had done, it was enough for him to treat her with utmost respect.

"Yes, Master, I'll escort Master Yun out now."

As they passed by the hanging flower gate again, the shy grass that had been scared to the point of wilting earlier, had already revived.

Even without the wind, it joyfully swayed its leaves like a delighted child dancing.

Yun Ran glanced at it sideways and snorted coldly: earlier it dared to feign distress on her, now, it won't even think about clinging to her!

Ginsengfruit had already anticipated this result. Whether it be flowers, trees, birds, fish, insects, or beasts, they all have their own tribulations if they want to gain spirituality.

Especially the [human tribulation], wherein meeting a Noble would naturally lead to rising fortunes, but if unlucky, encountering those with itchy hands, then it's simply bad luck.

But the scruffy old man, unaware, saw the yellowed grass he intended to pull out earlier suddenly now full of life.

He was somewhat dumbfounded, even though he was already decades old and had once followed the Luo family's herb-gathering team deep into the mountains, witnessing many phenomena unexplainable by science.

His eyes suddenly snapped towards Yun Ran, realizing her hand earlier had touched this grass...

Thinking this, the old man understood perfectly well that this seemingly young girl, younger than his granddaughter, was indeed a true master!

Just as they were about to reach the main gate, a pitch-black bird suddenly flew above Yun Ran's head, calling out continuously.

Ginsengfruit stealthily stood aside, never having seen someone so obstinate. Just warned by the Host, yet daring to come straight away.

A lump of bird poop aimed straight for Yun Ran's body, making the old man's heart skip a beat.

He cursed inwardly: which rascals raised such creatures, so inauspicious and had the audacity to defecate indiscriminately. He swore to find out whose it was and would surely tear off their roof!

Simultaneously, his hands, which looked rough like tree bark, swiftly waved a palm at the air.

Ginsengfruit, witnessing this, had brightened eyes. Wow, is this the legendary Inner Strength?

The bird was startled, its wing injured by the old man's palm, fluttering twice as its body plummeted downwards.

The bird poop, due to being disrupted somehow, didn't land directly on Yun Ran's head but instead fell right in front of her toes.

Within several breaths, the black bird also crashed heavily about a meter in front of Yun Ran.

The bird poop didn't land on Yun Ran, nor did the bird hit her. The old man finally let out a sigh of relief, nearly having his soul scared out of him just now.

Finally encountering someone able to help the master, if they were ruined by a lump of bird poop, he really would go mad!

Just as he was about to step forward, intending to pick up the bird knocked out cold and toss it into the trash can.

Suddenly, right under his eyes, "boom," the bird turned into a pile of ashes.

Old man: ...

Wasn't it, at his old age, nearing the twilight of his life, able to encounter so many bizarre happenings meant to scare him to death?

Yun Ran gazed at the screen wall directly opposite the main gate, the large 'blessing' character; originally just stone, yet just now, quite a few air ripples radiated off it.

At this moment, Yun Ran, afflicted once more by envy, pondered about the mansion's former owner and how remarkable a scholar they must have been.

Even after hundreds of years, the blessing character on that screen wall still had such strong powers of warding off evil.

Thinking this, Yun Ran once again cast her eyes toward the original altar's location, the treasures behind that plaque were truly gems.

But she was a person with moral integrity, not someone who snatches all treasures.

She could only comfort herself; having just snagged the Ran Mansion and acquired a plot from the Wang Family.

Soon obtaining the reward from the Wang Family, then swapping a plot with Xie Xuzhi, and eventually building Qingfeng Temple, one ought to know contentment…
