Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 675: Shifting the Blame onto Each Other
Thinking of how he had thrown out all his Magic Artifacts to barely gain a chance for escape, He Tu finally nodded.
Bow to survive—it’s not shameful. Besides, he’d already lost face in front of Yun Ran, so doing it again wouldn’t hurt.
That night, He Tu, with the help of the Little Paperman, arrived in Huannan.
Yun Ran was stunned at seeing He Tu, who was in a far more miserable state than she imagined.
"Haha, didn’t you boast about turning me into a Blood Pill before? How come someone so ’diao’ got beaten up like this~"
Yun Ran clearly remembered how arrogant He Tu was back then, treating human lives as insignificant.
Now suddenly seeing him so pitiful, Yun Ran ungraciously let out a laughing sound like a goose.
He Tu: ...
Previously, he even felt sorry that Yun Ran’s Qi Fortune was stolen by someone, but now, ugh, caring for outsiders surely brings bad luck forever!
Yun Ran was horribly annoying, more so than the young woman named Rong Gu, who previously wanted his life.
At least that woman didn’t poke at his sore spot like this!
"The person who hurt me is your enemy!"
Seeing the obvious anger on He Tu’s face, Yun Ran finally toned down her smile.
She already knew that He Tu was injured by Rong Gu. He Tu’s escape from Rong Gu proved he had some means to save his life, so she shouldn’t mock him too excessively.
"Rong Gu is indeed my enemy, but if you hadn’t claimed to be avenging me, she wouldn’t have come for you.
Also, do you know how much trouble you’ve caused me? You’ve killed many Evil Cultivators, and they have loved ones too.
Of course, it might be because you hit them hard this time; now, they’re all targeting me.
Now there’s a big wave of Evil Cultivators planning to come for me, trying to make a name for themselves. I’m the real big resentment, right!"
Initially feeling he’d lost out big time and regretting deeply, He Tu listened to Yun Ran’s tale and realized she was equally miserable.
Strangely, his wounds didn’t seem as painful.
Is this what people say, that when someone is worse off, your own troubles become trivial?
Xuan Chu watched He Tu and Yun Ran shirking responsibility at each other in silence.
Indeed, his moral standards were apparently still too high.
But it was really effective; He Tu, previously quite agitated, now seemed to have calmed down—or rather, found balance.
He stopped acting out and even his tone became calmer.
"I’m feeling a bit hungry, get me some food, and prepare some Healing Medicine, getting old, the wounds hurt, I can’t handle it."
Obviously, this wasn’t something Yun Ran would personally deal with.
Yun Ran lightly twirled her fingers, and the Little Paperman immediately began preparing what He Tu needed.
In no time, the Little Paperman came with food and Healing Medicine.
Seeing the fragrant food, the once dying-looking He Tu’s eyes lit up, swiftly beginning to eat.
While he ate, the Little Paperman handled his wounds.
Once He Tu was full and satiated, his wounds were taken care of.
At this point, He Tu even asked gambitiously: "These Little Papermen of yours are pretty good, send me a few, will you?"
Yun Ran: ...
"Dream on!"
He Tu pouted. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t even ask to take the Magic Artifact he fancied, he’d just reach out and grab it.
"So stingy!"
Yun Ran chuckled, "Looks like you’re suited to deal with people like Rong Gu."
Didn’t Rong Gu once discipline him, making him obedient? Yet, after Yun Ran saved him, this old rascal started exploiting her.
Upon hearing Rong Gu’s name, He Tu’s face fell.
"Enough, stop bringing it up!"
At least he used to be a feared and dreaded old monster; now, being toyed with by these young whelps, is that even right!
"Where’s my room, I need to rest!"
The Little Papermen, annoyed at the old monster daring to covet them, didn’t pay He Tu any mind and certainly wouldn’t guide him.
Finally, Xuan Chu had to personally step in.
It wasn’t because he was courteous, but because he didn’t trust He Tu, needing to keep a watchful eye, ensuring proper precautions were in place gives peace of mind.
Only after setting warnings in He Tu’s room and entrance did Xuan Chu feel assured enough to leave.
When Xuan Chu returned, he suddenly asked: "What kind of person is Rong Gu?"
Yun Ran had guessed that Xuan Chu would definitely ask this.
"Speaking of which, you’re considered one of her enemies too. Back then, during the Xuanmen Competition, I used the Coiling Dragon Formation explicitly against her.
At that time, it was you who reminded me that someone connected to my fate was in trouble. I guess you wanted to test me, to see if I’d perform heaven-defying acts, right?"
If it weren’t for Xuan Chu’s persistent gaze, Yun Ran wouldn’t have exposed the Prohibition within her body to force retreat.
Xuan Chu paused, clearly recalling the event.
Even though their relationship had grown closer, Xuan Chu didn’t feel his test was wrong.
If Yun Ran hadn’t revealed her Prohibition, she wouldn’t have had the chance to activate the Coiling Dragon Formation.
Because he would have stopped her.
"So, weren’t you trying to prove you weren’t a world-ending person, by showing me your Prohibition, but rather feared I’d obstruct you?"
"Otherwise, with your stubborn nature, even if I wore out my tongue, you wouldn’t listen. Showing you my Prohibition was the most effective."
Xuan Chu opened his mouth, suddenly unsure what to say.
Was he really that unkind and difficult back then?
Yun Ran, as if with Mind Reading Technique, knew exactly what Xuan Chu was thinking.
Immediately nodding affirmatively: "You are!"
Xuan Chu suddenly felt a bit withdrawn, reluctant to talk to Yun Ran, truly unpleasant words!
He could only change the topic: "What’s Rong Gu’s background?"
On this, Yun Ran immediately perked up, after all, although their stances differed, she did meet a worthy adversary.
"She’s formidable, more naturally gifted than I am. Unfortunately, she didn’t find a good Sect and walked the path of an Evil Cultivator."
Then, Yun Ran elaborated on Rong Gu’s background and detailed some past encounters.
"If it weren’t for my richer combat experience and the Sect’s deep resources, I wouldn’t stand a chance against her."
After hearing Yun Ran’s explanation, Xuan Chu’s brow furrowed immediately.
"Are you saying the monsters she nurtures even make Ghost King Level beings fear her?"
