Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 785 - 783: Forbidden Zone Mark

There were no surveillance cameras at the Black Robed People’s Main Altar, but something even more bizarre and exquisite than any cameras was watching.

This kind of Xuan Sect technique, if not wielded by someone with profound skill, is impossible to employ.

At this moment, Jia Feng and the others clearly saw the look on Xie Xuzhi’s face—sadness, restraint, and a deep sense of guilt.

"You’re right, but looking at Director Xie’s expression, he seems reluctant. Could he possibly defect halfway?"

Jia Feng laughed immediately; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Xie Xuzhi’s childhood values were deliberately influenced by him.

Seemingly cold-hearted and indifferent, yet in reality, he was full of a sense of justice and a warm heart.

Such a person, unless driven to desperation, would never go against his own conscience.

If Xie Xuzhi didn’t have these expressions on his face, he would instead suspect if this was a setup by him and Yun Ran.

Having suffered once before, he would absolutely not suffer again.

Jia Feng immediately confirmed, "No way, the price of him defecting is the annihilation of the Xie Family. How can a little Yun Ran compare to the Xie Family!"

When Xie Xuzhi left Yun Ran’s little secluded courtyard, there were noticeably more Black Robed People outside the courtyard.

The Little Paperman, just out from retreat, extended its finger and pulled open a small gap in the curtain, bringing its little eyes up to take a peek.

"Master, there are suddenly a lot more people outside, are they watching us?"

Yun Ran, having eaten and drunk enough, suddenly felt drowsy.

This was the Underground Palace, unable to see the outside sky, yet it did not affect Yun Ran’s knowledge that it was already nighttime.

Listening to the Little Paperman’s question, Yun Ran bluntly said, "When in a bad mood, they are surveillance, but when in a good mood, they can be seen as free bodyguards."

Anyway, since it’s free, there’s no need to complain so much.

Ginsengfruit also came out clean and tidy, not needing sleep, and neither did the Little Paperman.

Even with many Black Robed People in front of them, as long as they were unwilling, those Black Robed People simply couldn’t get in.

"Host, please rest first, we’ll keep an eye on things here."

Yun Ran nodded, laying on the soft silk sheet set, falling asleep instantly.

Ginsengfruit then sat outside, starting to organize the talisman papers they brought earlier, as there was clearly a fight looming, and the preliminary preparations needed to be well done.

Surprisingly, Yun Ran and his companions lived a luxurious life in the Underground Palace as captives.

However, the Dragon Spirit in the middle region of Death Mountain was quite in a dire state.

No matter what, he hadn’t expected the air in this damned place to be not only toxic but also corrosive; even his clothes suffered damage.

Even more vexing was that the vines coiled around the trees, harassing him from time to time like thousand-year-old demons.

Plus, moss densely growing on the tree trunks had quite a number of disgusting bugs within.

As soon as he got a little closer to those trunks, those tiny, swarming insects swept over him like a dense cloud.

He wasn’t afraid of the bugs biting, but their sheer number flying over was genuinely revolting.

Luckily, he used the large snake as a mount instead of relying on his own legs, otherwise, it would have been even more torturous.

Come nighttime, the temperature in this awful place plummeted, comparable to an icehouse.

This climate didn’t affect him much, but it severely slowed the snake’s movements.

It could only continue sluggishly; anyone unaware might think he was on a sightseeing tour.

Suddenly, Dragon Spirit saw a place ahead twinkling with numerous tiny lights, as if someone had hung lanterns there.

"What’s that!"

Just as Dragon Spirit finished asking, the snake under his feet came to a sudden halt, causing Dragon Spirit, positioned on its back, to lurch forward due to inertia.

If he hadn’t steadied himself in time, he would’ve surely taken a tumble.

Being embarrassed would be one thing, but the dirty, decaying leaves on the ground exuded a putrid stench...

Getting any on him would truly drive Dragon Spirit mad.

Dragon Spirit stomped hard with his foot, startling the snake beneath him into a shiver.

"Sir, there’s a forbidden zone mark ahead, we can’t proceed."

Dragon Spirit had a bit of a rebellious streak, not to mention he was here to find someone.

Even if he were just passing by and saw something interesting, being told not to go there would all the more prompt him to proceed.

"What forbidden zone? There’s nowhere this Dragon King dares not go!"

The snake feared Dragon Spirit indeed, but the forbidden zone marks inspired a deeper-rooted fгight within its very bones.

Between two evils, it chose the lesser, preferring to offend Dragon Spirit, who was standing on it, than to approach those forbidden zone marks.

Since gaining spiritual wisdom, the snake deeply remembered one thing: areas with forbidden zone marks are absolute no-go zones.

Otherwise, death would be the happiest ending.

Dragon Spirit had no idea what the snake was afraid of and said impatiently, "Hurry up, move forward!"

The snake didn’t comply.

Dragon Spirit was genuinely angry now: "Do you want to experience the consequences of being skinned, tendons drawn, and the inner core extracted!"

Previously, facing such threats, the snake obediently became Dragon Spirit’s mount.

But now, this threat failed to erase the fear in its mind of the forbidden zone marks.

The snake even had some thoughts of retreat: "We can’t go there, it’s dangerous!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

No wonder it could only spend a lifetime coiled up here as just a snake, with no courage or drive, useless!

With curses, Dragon Spirit jumped down from the snake’s back, glaring at it viciously.

"Wait here, if I return and don’t see you, not only will I skin and tendon you, but I’ll also turn you into fertilizer for those trees!"

Many of the trees here were no longer ordinary; feasting on flesh and blood, calling them demon trees wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

After threatening the snake, Dragon Spirit could only furrow his brows, tiptoeing forward.

Stepping onto the rotten leaves, he began cursing the heavens and the earth.

His tirade eventually included Yun Ran, for getting caught and dragged here, putting him in such a bind.

This place, he truly couldn’t bear staying here a second longer, much less comprehend how such a disgusting place existed on land.

When this ordeal is over, if Yun Ran doesn’t thank him properly, he’ll definitely drop everything and refuse to proceed.

Remarkably, time flew by when cursing.

What seemed a short distance actually took Dragon Spirit quite some time to reach.

Finally, he discovered the twinkling lights were invaluable Yin Moon Stones.
