Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1037 - 1033: The Abnormal Fire Has Gained Sentience
The other members of the local association watched their president flee, realizing they couldn’t possibly withstand such mental pressure better than him.
They also awkwardly claimed they had other matters to attend to, then bolted away.
The people from the general association also wanted to leave, unable to bear this torture-like treatment scene.
Yet they had no choice but to stay.
Each of them could only perform mental self-conditioning: as long as they don’t think about the torturous aspect, don’t look, don’t listen, it’ll be alright~
Seeing the number of people in the room dwindle to just a few, Xuan Chu lost interest in scaring others.
Swiftly, he woke the remaining individuals and applied the best treatment methods.
While he was a bit disgusted by their actions, he wouldn’t intentionally play tricks on them.
The time spent treating the next three people was less than the time spent on the first person.
One could say the first person was truly unfortunate.
Encountering Xuan Chu’s desire to set an example for others, his actions were particularly harsh.
"Alright, I’ll come to remove the needles when it’s time, you just stay here and watch. Call me if anything comes up!"
After saying this, Xuan Chu flung his sleeves and turned to return to their courtyard.
After the incident earlier, neither the people from the general association nor the elderly person who initially wanted to kill the Dragon Spirit tried to stop him.
Once back in the courtyard, Dragon Spirit stared at Xuan Chu intently.
"I didn’t expect this; it turns out you would use public office for private revenge. I wonder if Yun Ran would be shocked to hear about this."
The mentioned Yun Ran was currently sitting in a desolate valley, panting heavily.
"How can this damned place be so hot!"
Especially considering Yun Ran was wearing the Black Robed People’s clothes, she suddenly felt even hotter.
When Yun Ran set out, she only brought along a Little Paperman.
The Little Paperman fanned so vigorously it almost left afterimages, yet Yun Ran still felt overheated.
Such heat made her, a Xuan Sect member, unable to resist.
If there were no issues here, Yun Ran would dare bet her head that something was wrong.
"Master, the temperature here is clearly unusual, shall I scout ahead?"
Yun Ran shook her head, having sensed the presence of other copper mirror fragments here with the piece she held.
If she hadn’t witnessed the power of the copper mirror fragments before, she’d have no objection to the Little Paperman scouting.
But now, Yun Ran preferred to proceed cautiously rather than risk sending the Paperman into danger.
Who knows what other strange effects these copper mirror fragments might have.
Yun Ran glanced at her own black robe and immediately felt regret.
Previously, she considered how to blame everything on the Black Robed People, but now it’s difficult to swap to a different look quickly.
And this was just the edge of the valley, and it was already this hot.
Yun Ran pondered a bit, finally summoning Mo Zhi.
It seemed Yun Ran was the only one capable of using such a powerful Quasi-Ghost Emperor as her cooling tool.
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s call, Mo Zhi immediately emerged from the Jade.
Instantly, Yun Ran felt a cool sensation and much of the previous oppressive heat dissipated.
It was only then that Yun Ran looked at the Little Paperman: "Alright, you can stop fanning now."
The Little Paperman then put away the fan and continued to follow Yun Ran, carrying some items she had previously collected.
"Master, why is the climate here so abnormal?"
Generally speaking, such valleys should have a much lower temperature than other places.
The fact that it’s so scorching here indicates there’s either someone causing trouble or creatures like the Flame Beast hidden here.
Curious, Mo Zhi reached out beyond the Ghost Realm she cast around herself.
As her fingertips touched the outside air and temperature.
A stinging sensation instantly swept over Mo Zhi, making her quickly retract her hand.
Yun Ran watched Mo Zhi’s timid yet playful manner, shaking her head speechlessly.
"In this space rift, no one knows what formidable beings might be lurking, you’d better keep your Ghost Realm open to protect yourself, lest you end up unlucky."
Having experienced the earlier pain, Mo Zhi dared not continue stretching her hand out anymore.
Immediately nodding repeatedly: "I understand, Master."
The further they proceeded, the hotter it grew; Yun Ran was drenched in sweat, yet she did not pause for a moment.
The more unusual a place like this was, the more it signified something extraordinary was hidden here.
No wonder another copper mirror fragment was here.
The only troubling aspect for Yun Ran was that the excessive heat seemed to numb her senses.
As they approached the center, Mo Zhi suddenly spoke: "Master, there are quite a few people in the central area."
Just as Mo Zhi’s words fell, Yun Ran sensed it too. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Then, Yun Ran sneaked into a corner to secretly observe the situation inside.
Mo Zhi: ...
Even the Little Paperman, who should’ve been immune to water and fire, finally sensed a threat.
It clearly felt there was a fire here capable of endangering its life.
The Little Paperman quickly reported this to Yun Ran.
[Master, it seems there’s an Abnormal Fire here that’s gained spirit.]
Initially, Yun Ran thought there might be Flame Beasts here.
Over the years, only Flame Beasts had ever forced Yun Ran to retreat in frustration.
Unexpectedly, this place housed an Abnormal Fire with spirit, an existence even more dangerous than Flame Beasts.
Though skilled in many forms of magic, Yun Ran admitted her fire techniques were somewhat lacking.
Upon hearing there was an Abnormal Fire with spirit here, all previous questions were answered.
"An Abnormal Fire exists, no wonder people appeared here and brought the copper mirror."
If the copper mirror appeared here to absorb the Abnormal Fire.
Then in the border town they stayed at earlier, was the copper mirror targeting the creature in that jar?
Upon this thought, Yun Ran’s expression subtly shifted.
If that’s the case, does it imply that each location where a copper mirror appears.
Perhaps some special things were deliberately raised in those places?
While Yun Ran was contemplating whether to keep hiding or act directly.
Suddenly, relentless screams echoed from not far away.
The sound alone was chilling to hear.
If one’s Dao Heart was slightly weaker, the fear could shatter it!
