Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 736 - 734: Concerning His Dignity (Second Update)
The Dragon Spirit drifted for a while longer and finally caught sight of Gu Yuan.
He hurried over, his eyes scanning Gu Yuan up and down several times, just like a scanner.
The Dragon Spirit’s gaze was not very aggressive, but it made Gu Yuan’s heart uneasy.
He quickly turned sideways, protecting his body, and looked at him warily: "What do you want!!!"
Dragon Spirit: ...
If looks could kill, he would have been pierced to death by Gu Yuan’s gaze hundreds of times by now. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Didn’t you say you brought a Magic Artifact that can detect Dragon Veins? Hurry and show me!"
If not for this, he wouldn’t be so anxiously waiting for Gu Yuan. Their friendship wasn’t at that level yet!
Now it was Gu Yuan’s turn to be speechless; if you wanted the Magic Artifact, you should’ve said so earlier. He thought the Dragon Spirit wanted to swallow him in one gulp.
Demon dragons eating people was not unheard of.
Although the Dragon Spirit seemed quite normal now, who knew if he might someday get a wild idea and eat someone.
"What’s with that look? I’m a proper Dragon King, don’t look at me with such narrow eyes!"
As he spoke, he began to grab Gu Yuan’s backpack, convinced the Magic Artifact was inside.
What could Gu Yuan do? He really couldn’t beat the Dragon Spirit, so he could only watch as the Dragon Spirit took his bag.
In a few quick moves, the Dragon Spirit pulled out a ’metal lump’ bigger than a head from the bag, estimated to weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds.
Gu Yuan was the one carrying it; if it were anyone else, they’d be exhausted climbing a mountain with such a heavy load.
Taking the thing he wanted, the Dragon Spirit threw the half-empty backpack back to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan watched the Dragon Spirit excitedly fiddling with the Magic Artifact while he headed towards Yun Ran’s resting place.
Yun Ran was really sleepy at the moment. Hiking at night was equivalent to pulling an all-nighter; having breakfast made it the perfect time to sleep.
Ginsengfruit held an umbrella for Yun Ran on the side to protect against the strong UV rays from the sun at the mountain top.
Xuan Chu and Wanqi Yu were sitting not far away, one in front and one behind, seated on the ground.
Those unaware might think they were just sitting and resting, as the area was filled with people exhausted from the night hike, sitting or lying around.
But upon careful observation, one would see that Xuan Chu and Wanqi Yu’s positions cleverly protected Yun Ran in the middle.
Anyone trying to ambush Yun Ran would be met with attacks from Xuan Chu or Wanqi Yu right away.
Hearing footsteps, Xuan Chu looked up and saw Gu Yuan. They nodded at each other as a greeting.
Gu Yuan smoothly bypassed Xuan Chu and approached Yun Ran’s mat.
Gu Yuan’s stomach wasn’t feeling much at first, but seeing the lot of food on Yun Ran’s mat, his stomach suddenly protested.
As someone approached, the half-asleep Yun Ran abruptly opened her eyes.
"You came quite quickly."
Gu Yuan sat down immediately, without any courtesy, and picked up a small cake to eat.
After eating several small cakes, Gu Yuan’s stomach finally felt better.
"The boss was furious, how could I not hurry? Look at my eyes, the bloodshot lines are almost making them burst."
Gu Yuan looked indeed a bit scruffy at the moment; not only was his stubble unkempt, but even his hair was messy, and exhaustion was written all over his eyes.
It’s known that Gu Yuan usually takes great care of his personal image; appearing with this look shows he truly was too busy.
He didn’t even have time to tidy himself up. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s rather pitiful, luckily, she was removed from the Special Administration Bureau back then, hehehe~
"This spot isn’t bad, I’ll nap for a bit."
Gu Yuan had barely finished his sentence when the sound of his snoring rose the next moment.
Yun Ran: ...
This ability to sleep instantly would make many insomniacs envious.
Not far away, Wanqi Yu watched in surprise as Gu Yuan fell asleep so trustingly.
Previously, having interacted with this Special Administration Bureau’s Gu Chu for some time, he understood how wary this person could be.
Not to mention sleeping soundly everywhere, even when heavily injured, if someone approached, he’d spring up to fight them off.
This scene made Wanqi Yu realize even more how extraordinarily Gu Chu trusted Yun Ran.
That’s something he couldn’t achieve; even though Yun Ran is his sworn sister, Wanqi Yu could never just fall asleep so peacefully around her.
Looking at Gu Yuan, then Yun Ran, and back to Gu Yuan, why did Wanqi Yu feel a bit inexplicably irritated?
Meanwhile, the Dragon Spirit held the Magic Artifact, naturally starting to fiddle with it.
But after a while, the Magic Artifact showed no response, making the Dragon Spirit doubt whether this treasure from the Special Administration Bureau was really that great.
Had Gu Yuan not personally carried it up, the Dragon Spirit might have kicked the Magic Artifact down the mountain top by now.
Suddenly, a familiar sound spread softly from near the Magic Artifact.
The Dragon Spirit, a bit dumbfounded, looked at the Magic Artifact, then crouched down and placed his ear close to its side.
But the familiar sound he heard earlier never appeared again.
The Dragon Spirit was sure he hadn’t heard wrong; he really did hear a faint Dragon Roar.
"Could this Magic Artifact be able to capture the sound of a Dragon Roar?"
The Dragon Spirit waited a bit longer but still heard nothing, as if everything before was just his imagination.
While the Dragon Spirit scratched his head, Xuan Chu was observing everyone carefully.
He knew their trip to Five Emperors Mountain was led by the Dragon Spirit.
So, with no clues at hand, the Dragon Spirit had eagerly volunteered to be the trailblazer, so active it hardly seemed like his usual self.
At that moment, the Dragon Spirit’s demeanor clearly indicated he had discovered something.
Xuan Chu stood up directly, strolling over towards the Dragon Spirit.
"What are you up to!"
Seeing Xuan Chu, the Dragon Spirit’s eyes immediately lit up.
Previously he had confidently told Yun Ran he could find the remaining four Dragon Veins; it was a matter of his pride, hence his eager anticipation for Gu Yuan.
However, he seemed to hit a snag, and going to Yun Ran felt like losing face.
But now it’s great; Xuan Chu came over, of his own accord, so it wouldn’t seem like he was seeking help and his pride remained intact.
"I heard a Dragon Roar just now, but only once..."
Xuan Chu glanced at the Magic Artifact on the ground, astonished, not expecting the Special Administration Bureau to actually have a treasure that could detect Dragon Veins!
