Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

The Little Paperman didn't care whether the person who had just spoken was targeting it. It simply felt annoyed.

Feeling agitated, the Little Paperman instantly vanished with a flash and directly flew into the tunnel.

It wanted to bring someone from inside out to show everyone exactly how safe it was!

A lot of people were aware of the Little Paperman's existence now, but few had witnessed its capabilities.

This time, everyone Xie Xuzhi brought were people he had specially trained, who hadn't previously worked at the Special Administration Bureau, so they were naturally unfamiliar with the Little Paperman.

At this moment, the person who had spoken earlier was a bit worried when the Little Paperman suddenly disappeared: "Sir..."

Xie Xuzhi looked at him indifferently. Although he said nothing, the speaker immediately realized he had misspoken.

Awkwardly, he stepped back two steps. If he weren't from the Xie Family, and technically Xie Xuzhi's cousin, he would likely have been intimidated by the Young Master Xie's cold stare.

Just then, Gu Yuan's scream came from far, getting closer: "Ahhhh..."

The Little Paperman placed Gu Yuan in front of Xie Xuzhi, then said with its hands on its hips: "Didn't I say it's not dangerous? You people just make a fuss!"

If it weren't for the fact that its master and Xie Xuzhi got along quite well, it wouldn't bother wasting effort here. Wouldn't it be better to dig more stones for its master!

Gu Yuan had never experienced this kind of instantaneous teleportation speed before, and now that he was on solid ground, he almost knelt.

He was also coughing uncontrollably, and while coughing, he began to scold the Little Paperman.

"Are you trying to kill me? My heart almost stopped!"

The sense of weightlessness was something he never wanted to experience again. It was too uncomfortable.

The Little Paperman spread its hands helplessly: "I didn't intend it, who told these people to doubt my intentions.

Here, I have to provide evidence to show them that this tunnel is indeed safe, and you really are inside it, don't blame me~"

Due to the earlier high speed, Gu Yuan's eyes and nose had involuntarily produced tears and snot.

Hearing the Little Paperman's attempt to shirk responsibility, he began coughing intensely again.

After the Little Paperman sarcastically dealt with him, it still felt unsatisfied, and flew directly in front of Xie Xuzhi.

With a cold snort, it said: "Your people wrongly accused me just now, you have to apologize, otherwise, I'll tell the master and never help you again!"

Xie Xuzhi recalled something and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He actually apologized: "Sorry, it was my fault earlier. I made you feel wronged. In return, you can choose anything you want from my private collection as an apology, okay?"

The Little Paperman was initially very angry, but upon hearing the words 'choose anything you want', the dark expression on its face uncontrollably softened into a smile.

Subsequently, its floating body crossed its arms with a proud expression.

"Alright~ Since you've apologized so sincerely, I'll be magnanimous and forgive you, but there better not be a next time!"

Gu Yuan: ...

He sighed again in his heart. Surely, the Little Paperman raised by Yun Ran's sister had inherited both the master's glib tongue and greedy nature.

After a while, Gu Yuan finally felt a bit more comfortable and had the energy to focus on the people standing by.

Seeing Xie Xuzhi, a hint of delight immediately appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes.

"Boss, I didn't expect you to come personally. I've found something really good!"

As he spoke, he went to pull Xie Xuzhi, wanting him to see the Medicine Spring for himself.

Besides, those seniors were about to argue so fiercely that they'd fight like crows.

What left Gu Yuan a bit speechless was that they actually wanted him to mediate. Seriously, was this something he could get involved in?

If even one person was unhappy, next thing he knew, he'd be dealing with a series of grievances. As someone so smart, why would he do something so foolish?

Luckily, the Little Paperman had hoisted him out without a word before, which was a relief for him.

Now that the boss was here, that was perfect. He could get out of this mess, as those seniors probably wouldn't dare show a sour face to the boss.

Xie Xuzhi had no idea that Gu Yuan was so happy mainly to have him clean up the mess.

He left a few people outside to continue investigating the situation, and the remaining people followed Gu Yuan and Xie Xuzhi into the tunnel.

This group moved at full speed, and it took them about twenty or so minutes.

But previously, the Little Paperman had managed a round trip, even carrying someone out, in just a few seconds.

This realization made those who had doubted the Little Paperman earlier feel quite embarrassed; they had been too hasty in their judgment.

But when they tried to approach the Little Paperman to express their apologies, the Little Paperman immediately snorted coldly and flew to the other side.

Did they think that just because they apologized, it would have to accept? Hmph!

Everyone: ...

No one had told them that once a Magic Artifact gained spiritual wisdom and essence, it would be this difficult to deal with.

Finally, having passed through the tunnel, everyone saw the spacious cave. The seniors were not only arguing fiercely, but they were also on the verge of physical confrontation.

"I say, Old Ding, you're so shameless, why should you take the biggest share? I want the bear paw too!"

"Hey, you old coot, trying to argue now? If it weren't for me saving you earlier, you could have been dead by now, and you still have the nerve to fight me. Don't you have any shame?"

"You know, I want to say a fair word..."

As soon as these words were spoken, several voices shouted in unison: "Shut up!"

The person who wanted to mediate got puffed up: none of these people were decent, as if he was willing to mediate.

While passing through the tunnel, Gu Yuan had already recounted everything that had happened, and Xie Xuzhi now understood the scene before him.

He had never expected to see such a petty argument—it was no different from children arguing over candy, was it?

"No need to argue, seniors. This bear will be sent to the research lab. If you're interested, each of you can have a spot to participate in the research!"

Every year, the Special Administration Bureau encountered many strange life forms.

If they were harmless and had been observed for a period without issues, they'd be released back into an environment suitable for their survival.

If life forms tainted by Evil Technique or a Forbidden Technique were encountered, they'd typically be sent to the research lab.

The research lab's funding was entirely supplied by the Xie Family.

That's why many of the Bureau's core personnel were under the control of Xie Xuzhi.

Those who had been arguing relentlessly released their hands, about to fight, upon hearing Xie Xuzhi's words.

Each wore what they believed was a very friendly smile.

Unbeknownst to them, at that moment, they looked like nothing more than beggars, absolutely ridiculous.
