Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 731 - 729: I Want to Speak for Them

When Dragon Spirit was probing underground, Wanqi Yu also released his treasured Spiritual Worm, which looked like a silkworm baby.

The Spiritual Worm was exceptionally sensitive to changes in the environment, even the slightest bit.

Even if the corresponding instruments showed no change, it could detect it promptly.

Wanqi Yu watched as his Spiritual Worm not only changed color but also kept warning him.

Since he started raising this Spiritual Worm at the age of eight, it has only issued warnings three times: once when his adoptive father was severely injured and near death, once when he was betrayed by trusted uncles, during which a third of his confidants died or were injured.

And now, it’s the third time.

Wanqi Yu’s expression changed immediately: "Something’s not right!"

Dragon Spirit also at this time retracted the Dragon Core that had been driven underground.

"The Dragon Vein beneath Five Emperors Mountain has long been nailed at its vital point..."

While speaking, Dragon Spirit’s gaze turned to Yun Ran: "Do you remember that Fire Attribute Azure Dragon that was torn apart by your Coiling Dragon Formation before? It should be one of these five Dragon Veins."

Yun Ran’s heart skipped a beat, dense chills crawling up her back.

Everyone who followed along, except Wanqi Yu, didn’t know what Dragon Spirit was talking about. Hearing these words, they all became fearful.

Xuan Chu’s gaze was fixed on Dragon Spirit: "Are you sure?!"

Normally, if someone questioned him like this, Dragon Spirit would have already exploded; this isn’t mere questioning, it’s clearly a slap to the face.

But now, Dragon Spirit had no mood to argue with Xuan Chu.

"You can doubt my character, but you cannot doubt my ability!"

Although he got the answer he wanted, why did those words sound so awkward?

Wanqi Yu had no idea what they were talking about, which made him feel as if a cat was scratching at his heart.

But he also knew it was best not to interrupt at this moment.

Thinking for a bit, Wanqi Yu gently tugged the collar of Ginsengfruit.

Not convenient to disturb those discussing serious matters, he could at least ask the little one, right?

"Little Fruit, do you know what’s going on?"

Ginsengfruit: ...

He’s not "Little Fruit," okay? And he doesn’t understand why these people, one after another, act so familiar and always call him "Little Fruit."

"These are matters from the previous Xuanmen Competition... In the end, my master used the Coiling Dragon Battle to tear apart the Azure Dragon sealed on Rong Gu’s arm; most of it was devoured by Dragon Spirit."

Wanqi Yu understood the whole story, his eyes brightening frightfully when looking at Yun Ran; there was even a hint of admiration on his face.

So, the adopted sister is indeed so powerful; at this age, with this talent, truly terrifying!

While Xuan Chu and Dragon Spirit were talking, Yun Ran remained silent. After exchanging a glance, the two closed their mouths.

After quite a while, Yun Ran finally spoke: "Perhaps the inheritance Rong Gu received is deeper than we previously thought."

Xuan Chu immediately understood Yun Ran’s point: "You mean, the person who stole the Forbidden Book from Heavenly Dao Village could very likely be the one who nailed these five Dragon Veins?"

"Otherwise, though Rong Gu’s talent might not be inferior to mine and she has received much inheritance, the gaps in between aren’t so easily filled."

If Qingfeng Temple left her only the inheritance without the patient teachings of ancestors, uncles, and brothers, Qingfeng Temple’s disciples would definitely have taken many detours.

To seal and subdue a Dragon Spirit, sacrificing half a life is not impossible.

But this place has five Dragon Veins simultaneously; relying on the strength of one person to nail them and extract one Dragon Spirit to seal on oneself.

This is definitely not something Rong Gu could accomplish alone.

Yun Ran remembers well the first duel with Rong Gu.

Although Rong Gu was formidable, Yun Ran could feel she had taken many detours and hadn’t even formed her own style system.

This shows that over the years, Rong Gu has been exploring by herself, stumbling along the way.

It was she who brought Rong Gu to the more people’s attention, after which Rong Gu was rescued, and her strength skyrocketed.

Xuan Chu was silent for a while before speaking: "Are you suggesting Rong Gu has now found their headquarters?"

Yun Ran nodded; this is the most reasonable explanation.

"Then what is their headquarters’ purpose? If they had discovered Five Emperors Mountain’s secret long ago and even nailed these five Dragon Veins.

Why haven’t they taken the Heavenly Book away, instead allowing this place to become a scenic tourist spot?"

Before Yun Ran could respond, Dragon Spirit had already learned to jump in.

"Isn’t it simple? They haven’t taken the Heavenly Book because they can’t take it away.

Additionally, I want to correct, although I’m not of the same kind as the Dragon Veins here, I still want to speak up for them.

Dragon Veins draw on the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, their life force is extremely robust, not easily subdued.

Even if nailed tightly, it only means they’ve lost their freedom, not that they’ve become weaklings.

As long as the Dragon Veins exist, their protection of the Heavenly Book won’t stop.

As for why those people allow this place to become a tourist attraction, knowing its situation, this I do not know."

This question left the others temporarily clueless as well; after all, they’re not those people, how could they understand their thinking?

Seeing the progress about to stall again.

Ginsengfruit silently raised a hand: "Well, I think I might know the answer to this question."

Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on him.

Dragon Spirit was the first to question: "How do you know?"

Not that he’s belittling Ginsengfruit, but he feels that even he, with inherited memories, doesn’t know, so how could a little kid possibly know?

Xuan Chu and Wanqi Yu were also curious, but they weren’t as blunt as Dragon Spirit.

After all, in human logic, they wouldn’t think that just because they don’t know, others can’t know.

Yun Ran’s brows furrowed slightly.

Now not only Ginsengfruit felt something was off, but Yun Ran sensed it too.

Since arriving at Five Emperors Mountain, Ginsengfruit’s changes have been quite apparent.

Ginsengfruit avoided everyone’s varied gazes, organized his language, and then spoke: "Dragon Veins guard the Heavenly Book, and likewise, the Heavenly Book will feedback some energy to these Dragon Veins.

Now, the Dragon Veins are nailed down, and to maintain balance, the Heavenly Book’s feedback to the Dragon Veins will also increase accordingly.

With Five Emperors Mountain becoming a tourist attraction, countless people coming and going, this is also a form of consumption for the Dragon Veins.

In other words, the greater the consumption of Dragon Veins, the greater the consumption of the Heavenly Book.

Once the balance between the Heavenly Book and Dragon Veins is disrupted, the Heavenly Book might lose its ability to protect itself."
