Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 745 - 743: There’s Always a Higher Mountain
Yun Ran had descended the mountain, and halfway through, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Ginsengfruit didn’t notice and almost bumped right into Yun Ran. He quickly asked nervously, "Host, what’s wrong?"
No wonder he reacted like that; in his heart, his host was an omnipotent existence.
If she reacted like this suddenly, it surely meant something was beyond her expectations.
Yun Ran let out a gentle sigh, her gaze slightly unfocused.
Finally, she drooped her head, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Little Martial Uncle found out that I unsealed the Spirit Platform without permission. We’re doomed~"
Ginsengfruit: ...
Urgently retract the previous statement about the host being omnipotent.
No matter how powerful the host is, once she falls into the hands of Little Martial Uncle, she’ll be beaten like a dog.
Thinking back to when they were at Qingfeng Temple, the host’s Spirit Platform being unsealed, Ginsengfruit was quite shocked too.
He had personally witnessed Master Huai Yi’s capabilities.
Now he held a deep fear of Master Huai Yi; if not for the host saving his life, who knows what kind of strange Magic Artifact he might have become.
The host’s hope to swiftly and without side effects break Master Huai Yi’s sealing was simply impossible.
So back then, he thought the host must have been injured, scared out of his wits.
Later, he realized there was always a higher mountain; Master Huai Yi was powerful, but there were naturally those more powerful than him.
That was, of course, the Qingfeng Temple ancestor the host invited, enjoying the incense offerings in the backyard.
The ancestor took action, and Master Huai Yi was completely kept in the dark.
They originally thought they could resolve the situation here before Master Huai Yi discovered it.
Now it seems they were too optimistic.
"How did Master Huai Yi find out!"
The thought of his host being chased all over the mountain by Master Huai Yi made Ginsengfruit feel a toothache: "Host, what do we do now?"
"What else, of course, we have to play pitiful. We didn’t want Little Martial Uncle involved before because, although his Spirit Puppet was powerful, it was only a fraction of the true master’s strength.
Who knows if this world’s Heavenly Book would reject Little Martial Uncle. If it hurt him, he would be able to stay in this world for an even shorter time."
Even though Little Martial Uncle’s Spirit Puppet hadn’t started disintegrating yet, Yun Ran was already feeling distressed.
Ginsengfruit’s brain had a momentary glitch and he asked, "Host, how long can Master Huai Yi’s Spirit Puppet last?"
Presumably, it wouldn’t last long; otherwise, why would the host be so melancholic?
Yun Ran sighed, "At most, only fifty years."
Ginsengfruit: ...
He heavily suspected that when the host said that, she was definitely exaggerating, and the "at most" should be replaced with "at least."
"Host, have you considered that your current body is a human’s body, and living to seventy or eighty is already quite impressive.
Even if the Xuanmen people live a bit longer, living over a hundred isn’t surprising, but if Master Huai Yi can remain here for several decades, that’s already a lot."
Yun Ran cast a sidelong glare at Ginsengfruit: "You know nothing. The Spirit Puppet is forged from Little Martial Uncle’s Divine Soul.
If the Spirit Puppet wasn’t torn while penetrating this world, as long as Qingfeng Temple’s orthodoxy remains, it can exist indefinitely.
Indefinitely, compared to a few decades, don’t you think that’s heart-wrenching? If this Heavenly Book is faulty, rejecting my Little Martial Uncle, the time would be even shorter."
Before Little Martial Uncle arrived, she was alone here, although accompanied by Ginsengfruit, it still felt a bit lonely.
But now that Little Martial Uncle came, of course, she hoped he could stay with her forever, even if Little Martial Uncle occasionally smacked her, it didn’t matter.
Ginsengfruit suddenly felt that his host seemed to have a bit of an obsession with her uncle.
But then he thought, the host wasn’t very old, being attached to the elder who raised her made sense.
"The host has said a lot, but we don’t really know the circumstances of this Heavenly Book. Keeping it a secret from Master Huai Yi is understandable..."
Ginsengfruit didn’t finish his sentence, fearing if they were unfortunately trapped here, at least Little Martial Uncle could rescue them.
"But now Master Huai Yi has discovered it, what should we do?"
"Of course, first, admit my mistake, then tell Little Martial Uncle that if I fall... ah ptooey ptooey ptooey, I’m definitely going to find the Heavenly Book, and then go back to accept punishment."
It’s all old procedures, and Yun Ran was already quite experienced.
Although Little Martial Uncle loved to smack her, usually, as long as she wasn’t in danger, Little Martial Uncle didn’t really interfere with her ’training.’
This much, Yun Ran knew very well; Little Martial Uncle was inherently different from other elders.
For instance, other elders were protective of the younger generation, wishing to arrange everything and never letting their juniors suffer even a little,
Little Martial Uncle only needed to ensure she could survive. Regardless of the danger, he wouldn’t intervene, at most whipping her fiercely afterward.
Ensuring the next time she rushed into a dangerous place, she could make it out alive.
Of course, if she were ever really in danger, she wouldn’t even need to wave; Little Martial Uncle would appear like a god instantly by her side.
It’s precisely because someone ensured her life, Yun Ran developed an unruly personality.
After finishing, Yun Ran skillfully took out the talisman paper to communicate and admit her mistake to Little Martial Uncle, casually complimenting him a bit.
"Little Martial Uncle, I was wrong, but that’s the Heavenly Book we’re talking about, the legendary Heavenly Book, knowing everything.
My current Life Chart, it’s very problematic. If I’m not injured, I can barely suppress it to let me live like a normal person.
But once I’m injured, I don’t have the extra strength to suppress it, and troublesome things just keep coming one after another. Even though I won’t die, it’s annoying.
Suppressing this Life Chart has forcibly reduced half of my strength, and the times I’ve been injured are all because of this Life Chart dragging me down!"
She was originally just playing pitiful, but the more Yun Ran talked, the angrier she got.
Back then, she really was the Demon Lord of Mayhem. Just relying on Qingfeng Temple’s name wasn’t enough.
She was really powerful, in an impressive way. Now, although in the eyes of many in this world, she was still mighty.
But Yun Ran knew very well, compared to before, her current strength was just mediocre.
Sigh, talking more only brings tears.
"Once I find the Heavenly Book, I’ll ask how to break this annoying Life Chart."
Little Martial Uncle, who received the message, was initially quite angry, but hearing Yun Ran’s words, his anger gradually subsided a bit.
[Even so, you should have told me. If I knew, I wouldn’t have stopped you from going, would I?]
