Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 633: Sometimes Imagination Is an Illness Too
According to the records, this egg must be over a hundred years old and still hasn’t hatched.
Moreover, as it stands now, the Dragon Spirit estimates that it could take several more decades or even a century for it to hatch.
If this weren’t the case, the original owner of this body would not have sought other Immortal Ascension Channels.
This turned out to be a boon for the Dragon Spirit, obtaining such a fine vessel.
After understanding the situation here, the Dragon Spirit’s eyes flashed with an inhuman light, and with a phantom Dragon Claw, it directly tore apart the air wall.
Instantly, the entire space began to tremble, as if it were on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
The Dragon Spirit lifted another claw, timely stabilizing the nearly collapsing space.
If Yun Ran and the others were not still inside this hollowed-out mountain, it wouldn’t care at all if this place collapsed.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The sound of the air wall shattering echoed through the air.
A series of cold demon winds began to appear out of nowhere, and the Dragon Spirit sneered, "What creature dares to act wild in front of this Dragon King!"
As the Dragon Spirit revealed its true form, exerting its pressure, those demon winds abruptly stopped.
At this moment, the air wall completely shattered, and the Dragon Spirit reached out, letting the egg, which gleamed with its breath, fall into its hand.
Upon grasping the egg, the Dragon Spirit felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Especially the twinkling, shiny light made the Dragon Spirit instantly joyous, wanting to claim the egg for itself.
However, as this thought arose, it immediately remembered the other half of its Dragon Core that was still trapped.
After a struggle, the Dragon Spirit pouted, venting its frustration by setting the enormous space on fire.
The blaze illuminated the entire area, and the Gu Worms, sealed in paraffin and in a state of slumber, were instantly consumed by the Fire Tongue.
The people from the Gu God Hall had no idea that such an integral part of their foundation had been consumed in a sea of flames.
With the dormant Gu Worms incinerated, the various Gu Worms outside began to stir restlessly.
Their perception was extremely strong, and although the burned Gu Worms were all sealed in paraffin and dormant, there was still a connection among them.
Even the mother Gu in front of Gu Yuan and the others started frantically ramming against the glass pillar.
This scene dumbfounded everyone present,
"What’s happening?"
They had been observing this glass pillar for over an hour, and the mother Gu hadn’t budged.
At least, it appeared to be an emotionally stable Gu Worm, but now, it suddenly ran rampant as if it had gone mad.
At that moment, Lin Xiang’er, who lay in the corner unconscious, began to make wretched cries with her eyes closed and her body hunched.
Gu Yuan and Lu Zhen both turned pale with fright; had the Dragon Spirit not helped them isolate the Gu Worms within their bodies,
they would likely have been in unbearable agony by now.
Soon, Lin Xiang’er’s complexion turned a livid purple as if she were poisoned.
With a sound "Wow,"
Lin Xiang’er spewed a mouthful of black blood, and her previously hunched body started to straighten, her screams turning from piercing to low and hoarse.
Until there was gradually no more sound.
From the start of her screams until now, less than a minute had passed.
The stunned Special Administration Bureau staff, with the person closest to Lin Xiang’er stepping forward to check on her,
finally stiffly shook their head at the crowd, the look on their face rigid.
This made Gu Yuan and Lu Zhen’s faces worse; who would have thought the backlash from the Gu Worms would be so brutal.
Meanwhile, the people from the Gu God Hall kneeling outside in reflection, although not fatally backlashed like Lin Xiang’er,
also suffered some influence, especially those who had cultivated worms within themselves.
But fortunately, the Gu Worms they cultivated within themselves were beneficial to their bodies.
So, even though they were affected, they only experienced a surge of blood, spitting a few mouthfuls of blood is all.
The Little Paperman responsible for ’monitoring’ them at the door, initially thought they would come to their senses and retreat to counterattack.
Unexpectedly, they knelt even more reverently, which puzzled the Little Paperman.
Yun Ran couldn’t connect with them, but the consciousness of Little Papermen could communicate with one another.
Thus, the Little Paperman massaging Yun Ran’s legs immediately conveyed what the one monitoring the door saw to Yun Ran.
"Master, why aren’t those people reacting at all? Are they holding back a big move?"
Yun Ran was momentarily taken aback but quickly understood what those people were thinking.
She, having stood in both high and low positions, was well aware of what people in those different places were mindful of.
The people in the Gu God Hall, during their Holy Master’s absence, wouldn’t possibly behave.
As long as there are humans, there will be self-interest, especially when their leader is absent, striving for personal gain, though major acts of usurpation were out of the question as their leader held significant sway.
They might not dare do major deeds, but petty thievery surely occurred, and hence their guilty conscience.
Having been punished to kneel and reflect by the Holy Master whom the Dragon Spirit substituted, and being injured due to the Gu Worms’ disturbance,
for people harboring guilt, these events instead reassured them.
Their current attitude was plainly showing they were eagerly admitting fault and willingly accepting punishment, hoping to appease their Holy Master.
Evidently, in their understanding, the only one who could control the Gu Worms they nurtured was their Holy Master.
Thus, having been punished by the Holy Master seemed to transform bigger issues into smaller ones, smaller issues into non-issues.
Yun Ran couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic towards them, sometimes overthinking is indeed an ailment.
So she immediately spoke, "Don’t bother with them, once the Dragon Spirit returns, we should also prepare to leave."
This isn’t their territory after all, staying here for long would be quite inconvenient.
As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, the Dragon Spirit returned holding a sporadically glowing egg.
Its eyes showed some greed, along with the frustration of having to let go.
For the occasional rebellion from the Dragon Spirit, Yun Ran simply ignored it, her focus shifting towards the egg in his hand.
Xuan Chu’s gaze also landed simultaneously on that egg.
Both understood without speaking; this should be the missing part of the Heavenly Dao Origin.
Gu Yuan piqued interest in the glowing egg too, though his curiosity was no match for his concerns over the Gu Worm within him.
Thus he approached immediately, unable to endure the ticking time bomb of a Gu Worm within his body any longer.
