Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

Yun Ran, who highly valued her reputation, was now grimacing at her own golden leg, making the situation quite awkward.

What Yun Ran was thinking was: Oh no, being caught in such an embarrassing moment, I can't pretend to be aloof anymore, let alone haggle.

Xie Xuzhi, with a face full of terror, was genuinely startled by Yun Ran's sudden appearance.

Moreover, he wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he saw not far away, a Dragon Spirit baring its teeth and claws at him, looking quite fierce.

Fortunately, the Dragon Spirit was unaware of Xie Xuzhi's thoughts; if it knew, it would definitely feel wronged to death.

Where was it fierce? It was just that the little martial uncle had kicked it painfully, and it couldn't help but hiss.

Before everyone could react, the Little Papermen suddenly sensed the presence of their master and immediately flew over.

Even the Little Papermen who were previously moving things above the deep pit sensed it.

A dozen or so Little Papermen flew over in unison, a scene that seemed quite impressive in the eyes of everyone.

"Master, you finally came back~"

"Master, I missed you so much~"

"Master, Master..."

The chattering of the dozen Little Papermen made the previously quiet deep pit instantly noisy, rivaling a morning market in its clamor.

Gu Yuan stared dumbly at Yun Ran's sudden appearance, and when the voices of the Little Papermen came, he pinched the back of his companion's hand hard.

"┗|｀O′|┛ Ow~~"

Gu Yuan immediately started laughing foolishly: "It hurts, so it's not a dream!"

The companion who was pinched on the back of the hand looked at Gu Yuan with a face full of anger: "You, with the surname Gu, are you crazy!"

To know whether it's a dream or not, why didn't you pinch yourself, but instead pinched him? Even if it was just a layer of skin, it was still quite painful.

But Gu Yuan didn't care, grinning with his big teeth: "Look at you, making such a fuss over nothing, didn't you usually get stabbed without anything happening?"

The companion was furious, but with the young master sitting not far away, he didn't dare to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.

He could only glare fiercely at Gu Yuan and then move away from him.

Xie Xuzhi finally reacted too, the fear on his face disappearing and replaced by a look of doubt.

"How did you suddenly appear here?"

Yun Ran also had many questions in her heart, but she clearly couldn't admit she didn't know either.

Quietly rubbing her backside, Yun Ran raised her hand to signal the Little Papermen to quiet down, and the noisy environment became much quieter.

Only the sound of heavy breathing and the crackling of flames remained.

Yun Ran glanced around at the surroundings, those elderly folks she had met before were also there.

However, they now looked much more listless, completely lacking the aura of experts they previously had and seemed to have suffered quite a lot.

But Xuan Chu and his master, who was quick to start a fight, were not present.

The others, apart from Gu Yuan and Xie Xuzhi, were unfamiliar faces, around twenty people.

Yun Ran roughly guessed the current situation.

Recollecting her emotions, Yun Ran calmly said: "Oh, I got caught by the sealing trap here previously, it took quite a bit of effort to get out, but I didn't choose the exit point."

Having said this, Yun Ran examined the surrounding stone walls. Now that the place was much more illuminated, she could see quite clearly what surrounded her.

Soon, Yun Ran's gaze fell on the Black Bear monster corpse not far from which the Little Papermen had carried out.

The Little Paperman noticed its master's frown and immediately flew over to recount what happened.

"Master, this monster is not only ugly but also very bad, it stole the Mountain Spirit's origin!"

Yun Ran suddenly understood, no wonder she suddenly sensed a powerful yet somewhat unfamiliar aura when she was in the sealing gap earlier.

Turns out, it was the Mountain Spirit reclaiming its origin.

The injured elderly folks watched as Yun Ran's gaze fell on the Black Bear monster's corpse, their hearts rising to their throats.

Anyone with any insight could tell that the Black Bear monster's corpse was of some use.

They already didn't have enough to share, if Yun Ran joined in, there'd be even less for them.

The few people who were arguing fiercely before now very tacitly moved to block Yun Ran's gaze.

Such obvious defensive intent left Yun Ran speechless.

Although she was curious about what had been done to the Black Bear to make it a vessel for the Mountain Spirit's origin,

She really had no intention of competing for such an obviously filthy and smelly monster corpse.

Yun Ran retracted her gaze as Gu Yuan came over with a cup of hot water, wagging his tail.

"Ranran, quickly, drink some water, you've been trapped for so long, you must be cold and hungry, warm up your body first."

Xie Xuzhi slightly frowned but ultimately said nothing.

However, he indeed felt that Gu Yuan, acting like a lackey, was somewhat irritating.

Yun Ran accepted the water cup, finally letting a touch of warmth appear on her face: "Thank you."

"No need to be polite with me, I've already put the dry food in the pot to cook, it'll be ready to eat soon."

Seeing Yun Ran drink the water, Gu Yuan immediately winked at her, clearly having something to say to her.

The two shared a slight tacit understanding, nodding before pretending to look around.

Gu Yuan immediately followed.

Originally, Yun Ran thought Gu Yuan was going to give her special treatment or some good food just for her.

Who could have guessed that Gu Yuan pulled out a phone, typed a few lines, and handed it to Yun Ran.

[The Little Papermen collected a lot of good stuff for you, all hidden away!]

Yun Ran glanced at Gu Yuan, then at Xie Xuzhi not far away. My goodness, Gu Yuan was actually someone who 'consorts with an outsider'.

However, since this 'consorting' was towards her, they were now the best of friends.

Yun Ran looked at the Little Papermen, not needing to say anything, she already knew what they had hidden.

She immediately decided that she would refine some handy Magic Artifacts for Gu Yuan later.

"By the way, where are Xuan Chu and his master?"

If Xuan Kong hadn't attacked her suddenly, she wouldn't have used the Sword Intent passed down by the ancestors, nor would she have been so unlucky as to be sucked into the sealing.

Gu Yuan picked up a hint of indignation in Yun Ran's tone.

He promptly said: "After the boss arrived, they left. They probably realized the Mountain Spirit here has revived and they're not needed anymore."

After talking, he looked at Yun Ran, trying to read what she was thinking.
