Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

The occurrences from before, the frail Mountain Spirit could only watch with wide eyes; now, its essence has returned, naturally making this its home turf!

Without waiting to see what the lynx does, wisps of black smoke, like ink, surge towards the lynx's body.

Ginsengfruit has seen the host purifying those sinister energies, but has never seen anything this straightforward and crude.

Even the Little Papermen need to use their hands to congeal and swallow the sinister energy attacking them.

Yet in front of them, the lynx behaves completely like a vacuum cleaner, directly sucking all that sinister energy into its body.

Ginsengfruit watches in astonishment and then silently gives a thumbs-up: "Amazing!"

This purification speed is faster than the purification array set up by those from the Special Administration Bureau earlier.

Thinking about it, in no more than a day, the entire mountain area's death energy and evil energy could be completely purified.

Even as shocked as Ginsengfruit is, it still remembers to report the happenings here to Yun Ran.

Before Yun Ran has any reaction, the Dragon Spirit bounces up: "Great, we'll be able to get out soon!"

Earlier, their little uncle said that once this Twin Formation is repaired, they'd be able to leave.

With the Mountain Spirit's help, it truly is a case of doing twice the work with half the effort.

Confirming that they'll be able to get out soon, Yun Ran immediately sits down to meditate; this place is too good for cultivation to waste.

On the other side, the Little Papermen have already excavated quite a few treasures placed at the edge of the pit.

The things they have now, even the Great Clans of the Xuan Sect would be envious of.

As they carry items up to the pit edge once more, they notice that quite a few people are coming this way.

"Someone's coming, quick, get some snow and cover the items!"

Don't underestimate the Little Papermen just because they're small; they're quite clever, afraid their hard-earned treasures for their master would catch others' eyes.

"Go over there and see who it is, lead them away!"

One of the Little Papermen swooshes and flies in front of these people.

"Director Xie, why is it you?"

Xie Xuzhi is walking at the front, bundled up like a ball.

If not for the Heavenly Thunder Pearl's energy on him, the Little Paperman wouldn't have recognized him.

As the group advances, seeing a palm-sized, wholly black Little Paperman not far ahead, their eyes immediately show delight.

They've gone through much hardship to finally find this place; if they didn't find it, they couldn't withstand Director Xie's anger.

Seeing the altered Little Paperman, Xie Xuzhi furrows his brow slightly: "Why have you turned like this? Where are the others?"

The "others" naturally includes Yun Ran, as well as Gu Yuan and others.

"Oh, the master is trapped by the seal here, not in any danger; the others are all down in that big pit~"

If Yun Ran knew the Little Paperman's straightforwardness, she'd genuinely be speechless.

Her lifetime's reputation, just like that, trampled under the Little Paperman's feet.

Suppressing his anger with effort, hearing Yun Ran is merely trapped, half of Xie Xuzhi's inexplicable fury dissipates.

As for Gu Yuan and the others falling into the pit, he's subconsciously deemed that not important.

"Take me to see them!"

With the Little Paperman leading the way, Xie Xuzhi and his group speed up considerably.

Soon, they arrive near the Chaotic Stone Pile, though now it's turned into a massive pit.

Behind Xie Xuzhi, the people glance not far ahead where several Little Papermen seem to be having a snowball fight, leaving them speechless.

Thinking, after all, they are Magic Artifacts; even with spiritual wisdom, they are unreliable, or they wouldn't still be playing at such a time.

Unaware, the Little Papermen are stealthily hiding the treasures they've dug up to offer their master.

Glancing around, Xie Xuzhi naturally wears only the best gear.

But once he takes off his mask, he distinctly feels the heavy, cold energy here.

And all around, a chaotic scene that clearly indicates serious fighting occurred.

"Is this big pit left from an explosion before?"

The Little Paperman promptly nods; although it didn't witness the explosion, there were only Zhu Qing and the others here at the time, so it must have been them.

Xie Xuzhi walks to the pit's edge, glancing down causes dizziness.

A long-unseen, foul stench wafts up from below.

"Prepare the gear to go down and investigate, we must rescue the senior gentlemen!"

With Xie Xuzhi's words, others immediately begin moving; they brought plenty of gear this time.

Just descending into a big pit is a cinch for them.

One Little Paperman observes them start to install ropes for going down.

Muttering softly: "Who knows if they'll find out we've extracted all those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It's a pity that several root materials useful for master's Artifact Refining haven't been dug up, nor has the stone heart been excavated…"

However, even if discovered, they won't hand over the items; what enters their hands belongs to them, no one can touch!

Xie Xuzhi's group leaves four people above to watch, while the rest, including him, descend.

Considering, two Little Papermen follow down, specifically keeping an eye on Xie Xuzhi.

While one would expect thousands of things, they're guarding against the one-in-a-million chance of Xie Xuzhi not being lucky enough and falling to his doom or being unable to come back up, allowing them to lend a hand.

During the descent, the Little Papermen are also on edge, fearing they'll discover something.

As it turns out, their concerns are unfounded; these people are so cautious they don't even look closely at the surroundings.

After landing, the Little Paperman that had scouted before eagerly leads the way: "I know where they are, I'll lead you!"

Saying so, the Little Paperman heads straight for the corridor in that corner.

With many having descended, naturally there are plenty of lighting devices, illuminating most of the broad pit bottom.

"Mr., this looks somewhat like an abandoned altar..."

Once seeing near the corridor, carved with a giant fierce beast pattern, the corridor serving as the beast's open mouth.

Subordinates immediately stop Xie Xuzhi: "Mr., let us send two people to check it out first, there might be danger, you shouldn't go…"

Hearing this, the Little Paperman immediately becomes displeased, suspecting its ill intentions?
