Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1028 - 1024

Watching the swift departure of Ginsengfruit, Xuan Chu inexplicably felt as if the pressure on him seemed to increase.

The Tree Spirit soon emerged, originally clad in clothes transformed from leaves and bark.

Now she was dressed in clothes previously purchased by Ginsengfruit from local shops.

These clothes felt somewhat out of place on Yun Ran and Xuan Chu.

Yet on the Tree Spirit, they looked perfectly suitable, proving the adage: local soil nurtures local people.

As soon as the Tree Spirit appeared, both Xuan Chu and Dragon Spirit sensed the aura that matched the tree in the courtyard.

Dragon Spirit’s eyes flashed with surprise, realizing the tree hadn’t been uprooted but had transformed.

Yet seeing the young woman before him, Dragon Spirit felt she didn’t match the tree’s previous essence.

The Tree Spirit approached Elder Qing Yangzi and the others, and suddenly knelt down.

"Lü Wu gratefully acknowledges the Immortal’s enlightenment."

As she spoke, clusters of green light flew from her head towards Elder Qing Yangzi.

Xuan Chu was still unsure about what was happening, as even though he was from Heavenly Dao Village, he had seen few Great Demons capable of transformation.

Dragon Spirit, on the other hand, looked serious.

Clearly, he understood Lü Wu was trying to offer her soul to the Elder.

To put it bluntly, she wanted to become a slave to the Elder.

For a Great Demon, actively signing a contract with somebody is a rare occurrence.

To willingly become a human’s slave means your life depends on their whims.

Such actions are considered degrading in the Great Demon Realm, but if the person is an Immortal, it’s seen as raising one’s status.

It’s akin to how high officials’ slaves in ancient times were more dignified than those of minor officials.

If Qingfeng Temple’s Elder were replaced with someone else, Dragon Spirit would see it as cleverness on the demon’s part.

But now, Dragon Spirit was upset!

He never had the chance to ’be a dog’ for the Elder, and now Lü Wu offered her soul without consent, which was outright moral coercion!

Dragon Spirit didn’t hesitate to dispel Lü Wu’s soul from flying towards Elder Qing Yangzi.

He shouted, "You shameless creature, our Elder is not someone you can cling to!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Dragon Spirit wouldn’t admit his blatant jealousy; if he couldn’t have something, no one else could!

No one could surpass his standing, as it would undermine his pride!

Right now, Dragon Spirit was fully focused on preventing Lü Wu from succeeding in her bid.

This competitive spirit overshadowed any previous fear of the Elders.

Perhaps in Dragon Spirit’s heart, upon realizing these were Qingfeng Temple’s Elders, he instinctively trusted them immensely.

He didn’t fear his Dragon Spirit identity being exposed or punishment for any inappropriate acts.

This deep trust stemmed from Dragon Spirit’s unwavering faith in Yun Ran.

Thus, this trust extended to Yun Ran’s sect and her elders and peers.

Dragon Spirit’s audacious move in front of Qing Yangzi, for other Mystical Sect members, would be seen as overstepping and disrespectful.

However, in Qing Yangzi’s eyes, it added points for Dragon Spirit.

Elder Qing Yangzi evidently appreciated such genuine demeanor.

Originally indifferent towards Dragon Spirit, the Elder now regarded him with satisfaction.

Dragon Spirit, being astute, noticed this subtle change.

He suddenly understood why Qingfeng Temple could cultivate a disciple like Yun Ran.

Dragon Spirit contemplatively thought, if his previous desire to apprentice under Junior Master was only to learn magic,

Now, he genuinely wanted to join Qingfeng Temple. With his talents, he might not become a core disciple, but at least be part of the mid-tier circle.

He had a premonition that if he joined Qingfeng Temple, his life would entirely change.

But before he could act, Elder Qing Yangzi remarked, "You little salamander, clever but rebellious, you need more refinement!"

Upon hearing this, Dragon Spirit joyously knelt.

He wasn’t afraid of refinement; humans might struggle with such challenges due to their short lives.

But Dragon Spirit was different; he could live for ages and endure any trials, as long as he had the chance to join Qingfeng Temple.

"Thank you, Elder, for your guidance."

At this moment, Xuan Chu felt a bit envious of Dragon Spirit, but only slightly, since he never considered abandoning his sect.

Even though Qingfeng Temple was excellent, Heavenly Dao Village was too.

Lü Wu’s soul offering was repelled and scolded by Dragon Spirit.

She felt awkward but dared not refute.

Though enlightened by an Immortal, she couldn’t compare with Dragon Spirit.

Qing Yangzi glanced at Lü Wu, "I enlightened you merely in passing, and I have obtained the information I wanted from you. Now you are free; your future lies in your own hands."

Having been an immortal for many years, he wouldn’t accept a Great Demon as a disciple.

Even if other Qingfeng Temple members were present, they wouldn’t casually form contracts with Great Demons.

Forming such contracts means bearing part of the other’s karma.

If you can’t fully control or trust the other party, such contracts are troublesome.

Upon hearing the Elder’s rejection, Lü Wu felt disappointed, hoping her association with such a powerful Immortal would shield her from harm.

Ginsengfruit, perceptive as ever, dragged Lü Wu away.

Regardless of her decision to stay or leave, she couldn’t linger here after the Elder spoke.

The Divine Cauldron Spirit, who had been playing the quail, thought it was irrelevant to him, but was immediately proven wrong.
