Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 157 - 156: I Need Reinforcements! (Second Update)

In the Ghost World, it’s perpetually shrouded in mist, making it impossible to tell the time.

Luckily, with the Ghost King around, Yun Ran realized she had been trapped here for a day and a night. It’s no wonder she was feeling a little hungry.

The Ghost King was kind enough to offer to find some food for Yun Ran, but she dared not eat anything from this place.

Even if it were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures growing in the Ghost World, Yun Ran wouldn’t touch them.

"Master, I just went to inquire about things. I heard that the Ghost Emperor of this Ghost City has guessed you are Xuanmen people, and ordinary Ghost Soldiers can’t capture you.

He has already sent ghosts to the Extreme Domain to bring those Xuan Sect Ghosts who have made mistakes and are being punished there. As long as they capture you, they can be pardoned."

Yun Ran: ...

Goodness, these ghosts truly have nerve, even inviting outside help!

Seeing Yun Ran’s expression, the Ghost King carefully said, "Master, I know a good place to hide..."

He wanted Yun Ran to change her hiding place, as this spot was fine for evading Ghost Soldiers, but if those Xuan Sect Ghosts came, it would be troublesome.

"There’s no need!"

No matter if the news about releasing Xuan Sect Ghosts to capture her was true or a trap, Yun Ran wouldn’t move.

Can ghosts who became big players in the Ghost World be easily fooled?

After finally finding a good hiding spot and minimizing her activities, she could lower the chances of being discovered,

At this moment, the punished Xuan Sect Ghosts like Nan Qing were sent to the Ghost City where Yun Ran was hiding.

As soon as they arrived, they sensed Yun Ran’s presence. It was Yun Ran’s Merit that sent them into the Ghost World, creating a unique bond between them and Yun Ran.

A phantom appeared above them: "Capture the mortals who snuck into the Ghost City, and I’ll pardon your sins!"

A total of 30 Xuan Sect Ghosts were sent.

The offer was like divine nectar to the Xuan Sect Ghosts enduring endless punishment.

Watching the other Xuan Sect Ghosts eager to act,

Nan Qing glanced at his companions, who nodded in agreement.

They accepted their punishment willingly. If betraying their benefactor meant evading punishment, they lacked the qualifications for reincarnation.

The 30 Xuan Sect Ghosts formed into 6 groups. Nan Qing and his companions didn’t form a team but dispersed, with one of their companions in each group.

If other Xuan Sect Ghosts found Yun Ran, they would stop at nothing to hinder them. Transformed into Ghost Gu, their strength far surpassed other punished Xuan Sect Ghosts.

Nan Qing and his companions discovered Yun Ran, and Yun Ran naturally sensed their presence.

"Goodness, these big players in the Ghost World are clever in repurposing, directly releasing Ghost Gu like Nan Qing and his group. Aren’t they afraid of rebellion!"

The Ghost King feared Nan Qing and his group immensely, and the Ginsengfruit knew it. The Ghost King said that Ghost Gu like them could devour a Ghost King in one bite.

If it came to a fight, who would win was uncertain.

"These Ghost World big players have been human before; you truly think they’re dumb? If Nan Qing and his group were released, they’re certainly carrying Prohibition, capable of working but would face instant obliteration if they revolted."

She initially didn’t plan to cause trouble in the Ghost World, merely entangled and pulled into the situation. Now, it was evident that leaving quietly was impossible.

She sensed Nan Qing and other Xuan Sect Ghosts’ presence drawing closer.

Yun Ran lifted the Dragon Spirit of the Water Dragon Vein: "Buy me some time, I need to call for help!"

The Dragon Spirit glanced at Yun Ran, knowing she was reliable. It immediately used its dragon claws to thump its chest.

It had been suppressing its rage for a while; if not for Yun Ran holding it back, the Ghost Soldiers here wouldn’t have been enough to satisfy it.

"Host, are you going to call the ancestor? But this is the Ghost World, can the ancestors from Qingfeng Temple come?"

"Who told you, Qingfeng Temple’s ancestors are only those who ascended? There are ancestors of Qingfeng Temple in the Ghost World too!"

With that, Yun Ran took off the silk cloth on her body, brought out the incense, and twisted the Merit on her body into a fine gold thread, wrapping it around the incense.

Wadful green smoke slowly rose.

Once the silk cloth was removed, Yun Ran’s aura immediately spread out, and the Ghost General and Ghost Emperor promptly locked on her.

At this moment, the Dragon Spirit’s Dharma Image suddenly expanded, appearing in the sky above Yun Ran’s area. The Dragon Roar echoed throughout the entire Ghost City.

Lesser ghosts trembled at the Dragon Roar, hurriedly seeking shelter.

But more were the greedy ghosts with ambitions; they dreamed of rising in ranks. The lower the rank, the more likely they were to be consumed by higher-ranked ghosts anytime.

Knowing Yun Ran’s hiding place was exposed, Nan Qing and the Xuan Sect Ghosts intended to act, preventing the other Xuan Sect Ghosts from getting close.

Who would have thought, a dominant Dragon Roar came from Yun Ran’s location.

The Dragon Roar carried Yun Ran’s Merit, and they immediately knew this Dragon Spirit was Yun Ran’s ally.

Not only did greedy ghosts want a share, but other Xuan Sect Ghosts also harbored some envy in their eyes.

Punished Xuan Sect Ghosts weren’t all repentant.

"Quick, capture that Dragon Spirit, it’s a precious treasure!"

Nan Qing and his companions regrouped, watching countless ghosts, a dark wave, all heading towards Yun Ran’s direction.

"What to do, so many ghosts. Our benefactor might struggle to hold them off."

"Let’s check the situation first. If the benefactor falls behind, even if we’re obliterated, we must ensure she isn’t swallowed by these ghosts!"

Having reached consensus, Nan Qing and Xuan Sect Ghosts also headed towards Yun Ran’s location.

Originally watching from outside, the Ghost King saw so many ghosts coming this way, and the Dragon Spirit even unleashed its full pressure.

Terrified, she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground. However, as the Ghost King, she didn’t faint.

The green smoke drifted into the air; for these ghosts, the smell of burning merit was like delicious food.

Ghosts rushing over were driven frantic by the aroma, quickening their pace.

The Dragon Spirit looked at those misguided ghosts with contempt, snorted coldly, and when the Dragon Breath was released, all the ghosts charging at the forefront turned to ash.

Yun Ran smeared a little blood on her mouth and exposed her haggard face from a day of hunger.

Then she performed ritual bows, respectfully reciting a lengthy chant before saying, "Unfilial disciple Yun Ran from Qingfeng Temple requests the ancestor~"

As Yun Ran’s voice dropped,

A solemn and distant voice came from afar: "Insolent! Who dares to bully my Qingfeng Temple descendants!"
