Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 737 - 735: Cheap Labor

The Dragon Spirit didn’t know what Xuan Chu was thinking, but seeing the surprise on Xuan Chu’s face made him realize belatedly that he had been tricked by Yun Ran.

Especially Yun Ran not far away, lounging as easily as any tourist, while he was here sweating away, being worried.

Well, he was swindled by Yun Ran again, becoming cheap labor!

The more the Dragon Spirit thought about it, the angrier he got. He, a being who had lived for thousands of years, had been provoked into a bet by a little brat and ended up rushing to work!

Xuan Chu watched inexplicably as the expressions on the Dragon Spirit’s face changed like a color palette.

"What are you doing, looking like someone owes you millions?"

The Dragon Spirit couldn’t possibly admit he finally figured it out and said harshly, "None of your business!"

With that, he picked up the Magic Artifact from the ground and threw it into Xuan Chu’s hands.

"You take care of it yourself, I’m going to rest."

The Dragon Spirit angrily returned to Yun Ran’s side, looking at the deeply sleeping Gu Yuan and the completely relaxed Yun Ran.

The imbalance in his heart deepened, and he let out a heavy sigh.

Yun Ran already knew when the Dragon Spirit returned, but she didn’t open her eyes immediately.

Hearing the sigh, Yun Ran slowly opened her eyes.

"You’re a dragon, not a pig, what’s with all the grumbling and sighing!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

One day, he was going to sew Yun Ran’s mouth shut!

"How dare you say you’re so relaxed while I run around in circles being fooled. Do I look like the kind of person who suffers losses?"

Yun Ran really followed the Dragon Spirit’s words, her eyes falling onto his face, taking a close look.

Then she confidently said, "Yes, you do."

The Dragon Spirit was stunned by Yun Ran’s blatant lying. Indeed, humans are the most insidious and shameless creatures!

He wondered how Qingfeng Temple, with such a sagely little uncle-master, managed to raise a ’villain’ like Yun Ran.

The Dragon Spirit, in a fit of anger, stopped being angry.

He quickly moved on, knowing that if he kept arguing, he’d be the one getting frustrated.

"I just heard a faint Dragon Roar, it seems the other four Dragon Spirits aren’t all asleep, but they’re not in good shape."

This result didn’t surprise Yun Ran.

Knowing that someone had long targeted this place, even marking it, Yun Ran had already prepared for the worst.

"The mountain range of Five Emperors Mountain is vast. To re-explore the terrain without alerting others, we must split up."

The Dragon Spirit originally wanted to reprimand Yun Ran for provoking the bet, but unexpectedly, Yun Ran already had a plan.

"Then why did you ask me to catch the Dragon Spirit’s aura?"

"I saw you were idle. We are real flesh and blood, needing rest, unlike your boundless energy.

We don’t have the luxury of time to waste with you, so letting you burn some energy gives us a chance to rest."

With that, Yun Ran stood up.

Before, she sat on the mat resting, seemingly enjoying the scenery, but in reality, she was engaged in Breathing Control meditation.

Perhaps because of the treasures in Five Emperors Mountain, the atmosphere here is naturally beneficial to humans.

Plus, the first sunlight, the purple aura, is the purest. Yun Ran’s meditative practices here are exceedingly effective.

"If we were right, Rong Gu should have already arrived at Five Emperors Mountain by now, I must go find her.

You haven’t dealt with her before, not knowing her methods. If she tries to sabotage, we’ll suffer greatly.

As for you all, distribute yourselves, possibly discovering more pin-pointed mountain areas.

At least, don’t let those people extract the Dragon Spirit for their use again."

The Ginsengfruit naturally wanted to follow Yun Ran closely and, seeing Yun Ran stand, hurriedly took down the umbrella.

The Dragon Spirit knew that Yun Ran’s proposal was the most suitable and efficient plan.

Any one of them dispersing to a part of it would be reliable.

But seeing Yun Ran about to depart so nonchalantly, he felt strangely dissatisfied. He truly became cheap labor.

Gu Yuan awoke as soon as Yun Ran rose.

The weariness that enveloped him seemed to vanish, leaving him as energetic as though fully revived.

Except for his eyes, which hadn’t returned to normal.

Xuan Chu returned with the Special Administration Bureau’s Magic Artifact, watching Yun Ran’s departing figure, but made no move to follow.

The Dragon Spirit looked at Gu Yuan, Xuan Chu, and the others, his brow slightly furrowed.

Ultimately, he decided to follow Yun Ran’s plan: "So how do we divide ourselves now?"

Gu Yuan spoke first: "We can’t discover issues on the tourist pathways, so I’ll investigate through the internal staff passages at the mountain top."

Among them, only he was the most suited to this task, and non-tourist passages were sure to reveal some trace.

The Dragon Spirit and the others each selected an area where they were most suited or skilled in to explore.

"We’ll gather on the open-air platform at the mountainside tonight."

"Alright."

As the fog atop the mountain was dispelled by the sun, those who had hiked at night dispersed.

Numerous tourists were milling around, without noticing Yun Ran and their group’s departure.

Descending a path amidst tourists busy with taking photos or feeding monkeys,

The Ginsengfruit and Yun Ran were covered by an Ignore Talisman, making it hard for anyone to notice them.

Even if they ended up in someone’s photo, it would be a blurry passerby or a mosaic.

"Host, neither the monkeys nor the birds here have developed spiritual wisdom!"

The Ginsengfruit expected those mischief-making monkeys to perhaps know some clues.

He was hopeful for nothing.

"The mountains themselves are struggling to survive; how could they allow animals to develop spiritual wisdom? Maintaining the lush vegetation is already an achievement."

As Yun Ran walked, she released her aura.

Though she didn’t know what Rong Gu intended, after several encounters with her,

Yun Ran clearly felt Rong Gu harbored hostility against her.

If she were Rong Gu, being in the dark while her opponent was exposed, and given the opportunity, she would try to eliminate her adversary.

Otherwise, letting the other side grow stronger was not an option.
