Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1012 - 1008

The hand of the Dragon Spirit suddenly transformed into a dragon claw, striking the copper mirror with a jarring sound.

Yun Ran’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; she hated this noise.

After the piercing sound ceased, the Dragon Spirit glanced at the spot his claw had just scratched, but the mirror surface remained pristine.

This time, the Dragon Spirit was completely convinced by the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which appeared low-level but clearly had some power over him.

A faint sense of defeat appeared on the Dragon Spirit’s face, but quickly faded away.

"To think that such a naturally powerful being as myself would actually be caught by such a small Demon-Revealing Mirror.

Indeed, humans, having dominated the world for thousands of years, are truly not to be underestimated."

The Dragon Spirit probably never dreamed that one day, he would sincerely admit that humans are far more formidable than he imagined.

The Dragon Spirit, who once looked down on all things, never even considered humans as significant beings.

Upon meeting Yun Ran, her master, or people like Xuan Chu, the Dragon Spirit always felt that they were few and far between among humans.

And they were already considered the top representatives of humanity, causing him to gradually restrain his nature under Yun Ran’s influence.

Yet he had no intention of curbing his true nature for anyone else.

Until now, he finally witnessed that even humans he deemed inferior, akin to insignificant ants,

could hold in their hands something that could easily reveal his true form.

Does that mean there are other humans who possess tools capable of killing such a powerful, naturally-born being like himself?

This realization finally allowed the Dragon Spirit to understand the saying ’No matter how high the martial arts, they fear the kitchen knife.’

Yun Ran had no idea the Dragon Spirit had pondered so much, she just noticed a significant change in the aura surrounding him.

The former arrogance that was once conspicuous was slowly becoming steady and much more restrained.

Yun Ran mistakenly thought the Dragon Spirit was just frightened by the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

She quickly spoke to reassure him, "Don’t worry too much. Knowing the attributes of this copper mirror, just avoid it a little.

With your abilities, avoiding being reflected by this copper mirror should be an easy task."

Seeing Yun Ran’s misunderstanding, the Dragon Spirit opened his mouth, wanting to explain that he wasn’t worried about that.

But the words he wanted to say were swallowed back. He truly didn’t know how to describe the insights he just had.

He felt that speaking them aloud would be somewhat embarrassing and pretentious.

In an instant, the Dragon Spirit decided it was better to say nothing at all; let Yun Ran misunderstand if she must.

The Dragon Spirit’s claw returned to the appearance of a human hand, and as he looked at the mirror where only the mark left by Yun Ran’s Peach Wood Sword remained, he wasn’t particularly surprised.

He handed the copper mirror back to Yun Ran.

"What do you plan to do with this copper mirror?"

After understanding Yun Ran’s intentions, he could then think about how he could assist her moving forward.

Without discussing other matters, Yun Ran’s ability to stir things up was definitely first-class.

He needed to first understand Yun Ran’s plan to avoid any mistakes later on.

Yun Ran was momentarily puzzled by the Dragon Spirit’s question; she had no intention of spending too much time on the people of the General Association.

Her methods were simple and direct, just waiting for the people from the General Association to approach and recruit Dragon Spirit and them.

Then, seamlessly blend into the ranks of the first-class Xuan Masters, possibly learning some news about the Heavenly Book.

But now that the Dragon Spirit asked,

Yun Ran cleared her throat and said, "I plan to store this copper mirror and later refine a few new Magic Artifacts. Such materials are rare indeed~"

Dragon Spirit: ...

He finally understood the meaning of ’talking past each other.’

Nonetheless, even without being on the same wavelength, the Dragon Spirit’s eyes lit up upon hearing her words.

"If we encounter any more fragments next time, I’ll help you gather them. I just want a portion when you refine new artifacts."

"No problem!"

Just then, the Little Paperman tasked with monitoring those Dark Masters returned.

"Master, those people are preparing to return to their courtyard."

Yun Ran nodded, putting her hat back on, and also donning a full-face mask.

"This last act, it’s time to take the stage. Later, make sure to let those people see my disguise, and also recognize my formidable strength!"

The Dragon Spirit gestured ’OK’, familiar with the task of playing along and helping Yun Ran brandish her prowess!

However, the Dragon Spirit’s gaze fell on Yun Ran’s leg: "Is your leg alright?"

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious."

With everything ready, as the General Association’s people wobbled back to the courtyard,

there was a sound in the room where they had previously placed the copper mirror.

The people, who seemed drunk, instantly sobered up and ran over quickly one by one upon hearing the noise.

Soon after, they heard a clear cracking sound, followed by the thud of something heavy hitting the ground.

"Who’s there!"

Yun Ran quickly leapt onto the roof, cloaked entirely in a black mantle.

Under the starlight and moonlight, and the illumination from the yard’s street lamps, Yun Ran appeared mysterious and dangerous.

"Quick, check the Divine Mirror!"

The annex’s door was slammed open by someone, and they were met with a scene that made their eyes nearly bulge out.

Their Divine Mirror had been stolen!

What terrified them the most was that the frame and base, originally incredibly sturdy,

were now cracked and scattered all over the ground, showcasing the immense strength required to accomplish this!

At that moment, everyone was thoroughly sober and drenched in cold sweat.

Having lost the Divine Mirror, everyone here would face unimaginable punishment.

"Quick, catch that person!"

The thought of those punishments made them as motivated as if they had been injected with adrenaline, determined to catch the one who stole their Divine Mirror.

As long as they retrieved the Divine Mirror, it would count as making amends, and the punishment would likely be lessened.

Seven or eight General Association members immediately took out their own Magic Artifacts, using their most powerful methods.

They hoped to catch this thief in one fell swoop; capturing alive was not a concern.

Seeing these attacks, Yun Ran didn’t underestimate them in the slightest.

On the contrary, she was fully prepared. To avoid exposing her identity, she didn’t use any Magic Artifact that could reveal who she was.
