Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1087 - 1083: Unlucky Again

Confirming that those people in Lotus City have a glimmer of hope, the Little Paperman’s slightly worried eyes instantly brightened.

But then, a trace of concern appeared on its pitch-black face again.

"Master, their hope for survival, will it cause any harm to you?"

The power to destroy a city, just thinking with your toes, you would know, must be terrifying.

The Little Paperman started to worry again that its own master might get hurt because of these unfamiliar people.

In its heart, no one in the world is more important than its master.

Yun Ran walked with a spring in her step, casually pulling a wild grass to bite in her mouth.

That look, no matter how you see it, didn’t seem like she was about to face a major upheaval.

Just as Yun Ran was about to respond to the Little Paperman, suddenly, the solid ground collapsed directly.

And Yun Ran’s foot had already stepped forward, just landing above the collapse.

With no ground support, that step into the void caused Yun Ran to lose her balance.

Seeing Yun Ran about to fall entirely into that collapsed deep pit, the Little Paperman quickly flew over and firmly supported Yun Ran’s stepping foot.

Yun Ran: ...

Truly speechless to the point that if silence had a door, she’s already home!

She only divined that Lotus City was doomed and then spent a bit of her own luck to deduce a glimmer of hope.

This unlucky incident came way too fast!

Yun Ran sighed at her troubling life chart.

If it were someone with a fortune-telling ability similar to hers, deducing such a divination would at most result in choking on cold water.

But for her, it meant a pile of unlucky, bothersome things!

With the Little Paperman’s support, Yun Ran finally stabilized her posture and then took a few steps back. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Looking at the large pit in front of her, she didn’t need to think to know that this must be an accident.

Yun Ran was used to it, but the Little Paperman felt indignant.

It flew directly over because it wanted to see what exactly caused this pit, nearly causing its master a great embarrassment.

The pit, even if falling wouldn’t cause much harm, had a high level of humiliation.

Soon, the Little Paperman flew out of the pit, with a thoroughly puffed-up expression.

"Master, that pit was caused by the erosion of an underground river, leading to the collapse."

Lotus City has several rivers, and currently, finding traces of an underground river here is quite normal.

Not to mention, the outer boundaries of Lotus City have always been mountainous terrains, and underground streams are part of such geographical features.

Such accidents within reasonable range are as ordinary to the luck-drained Yun Ran as eating and drinking water.

"Go fill up this pit. It is a place where people come and go, so if anyone gets unlucky and falls, it would be tragic."

Not everyone has her ability to easily avoid such dangers.

Moreover, the appearance of this pit partly has to do with her.

If anyone gets hurt because of it, she would have to bear part of the consequences.

"Okay, Master, I’ll do it right away!"

The Little Paperman quickly found some large stones and threw them all in.

After the stones filled the pit, there were large gaps that wouldn’t affect the flow of the underground river.

In no time, the pit was filled.

The sun had begun to rise slowly, and the temperature had started to climb.

Although it wasn’t far from Lotus City at the moment, Yun Ran could guess her journey back wouldn’t be smooth.

She immediately took out her Black Umbrella.

Fortunately, she wasn’t a fan of flashy things, so even if others saw this umbrella, it wouldn’t attract much attention.

The Little Paperman was eager to scout the way for Yun Ran, but couldn’t detect unknown accidents.

It could only stay patient, following Yun Ran closely.

Luckily, with the Black Umbrella’s protection, even though Yun Ran’s luck had diminished significantly, it would obscure some of her aura.

For the time being, those unlucky things couldn’t precisely target her.

Finally entering Lotus City, the Little Paperman sighed with relief.

But evidently, it sighed too early.

With exceptionally good hearing, the Little Paperman soon picked up useful conversations from those chatting over breakfast stalls.

"Over in East City, something strange happened last night; all the dogs in that alley died suddenly."

"What’s so strange about that? You guys are just too fussed. It must be the dog traders!"

"No way, what dog trader would be so bold to poison all the dogs in an alley?"

"Who knows, it has nothing to do with us folks, anyway!"

...

What the Little Paperman could hear, Yun Ran could naturally hear too, but she continued walking straight ahead without a sideways glance.

Her demeanor was similar to those who had entered the city earlier in the morning.

"Master, do you think the dogs in that East City alley died because of those sealed creatures?"

Especially considering Yun Ran’s divination, if in three days, Lotus City really turned into a dead city.

The most likely scenario would be those sealed creatures breaking through their seals.

As for the Dark Master in Lotus City, waiting to use the copper mirror to collect those sealed creatures, would certainly have miscalculated.

Yun Ran replied calmly: "Remove the words ’do you think’, it’s definitely because the seal has loosened."

Looking at the bustling street, filled with life.

Yun Ran couldn’t imagine how such a city, turned into a dead city, would look like.

It would definitely be hideous!

Yun Ran felt she disliked anything ugly, so she would reluctantly play the role of an unsung hero.

"Now, let’s go back and draw talismans!"

The Little Paperman didn’t understand, but since the master said so, there must be a reason.

When Yun Ran returned to the inn, there was visibly more traffic, and the once-empty inn now hung a full-house sign.

The previously bored front-desk woman was now busy like a spinning top.

She didn’t have any extra energy to greet the returning Yun Ran.

Yun Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed something happened after she lured away the Wandering Souls last night that she wasn’t aware of.

The previously quiet third floor had become lively, and Yun Ran could hear other people’s voices when she returned to her room.

The Little Paperman checked the room to confirm no one had entered, and then it breathed a sigh of relief.
