Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 833 - 831: A Debt of Gratitude Is Hardest to Repay (2nd Update)
The Dragon Spirit temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart, then resumed his calm appearance: "It’s fine, you all continue!"
He just stood by and watched, sort of keeping these Special Administration Bureau people in check.
When there’s no issue, it’s their job to work. If there’s danger threatening these people, then he’ll step in.
At this moment, the Dragon Spirit not only had to keep an eye on this side but also had to focus on that ’fellow,’ preventing him from escaping.
He also needed to consider how to ’persuade’ Yun Ran and Little Master Uncle to agree to help him devour that ferocious creature.
Totally multitasking, the Dragon Spirit felt like he was extremely busy now.
After becoming human, he indeed gained many responsibilities and constraints invisibly.
If he was the sea’s Jiao Long in the past, he wouldn’t need to think so much. Seeing something he wanted, he’d just plunder it directly.
Oh, being human is really tiring~
At this moment, Rong Gu was still unaware that the Ice Dragon she had painstakingly absorbed and pacified was now being targeted by the Dragon Spirit.
If she knew, she might actually go berserk.
The Dragon Spirit had previously devoured the Azure Dragon she had sealed on her arm.
Now he’s targeting her Ice Dragon, specifically preying on her!
Upon entering the Mystic Iron Gate, looking at the stone walls here, they were pitted and scattered with a few Great Demon Inner Cores.
A hint of joy appeared on Rong Gu’s face; she knew this place must have good things.
These Great Demon Inner Cores are quite rare.
Immediately, she climbed up, wanting to dig out the defective products left behind by Yun Ran.
Digging the first one, Rong Gu was extremely cautious, as if she was holding a treasure.
Digging the second, Rong Gu looked at the larger pit beside her, clearly noticing a lingering demon core aura there.
A hint of confusion appeared on her face.
"Are these pits all pre-dug and reserved?"
If she knew that Yun Ran had already looted this place, leaving behind unwanted defective products that she treated as treasures, she’d truly be furious.
Rong Gu didn’t slow down, quickly extracting all the remaining Great Demon Inner Cores.
The passage, initially with some brightness, instantly plunged into darkness. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Rong Gu’s eyes adjusted for a while before she could finally discern the direction ahead.
But what she didn’t know was that at the instant the Great Demon Inner Cores were completely extracted, the passage seamlessly connected to another space.
Rong Gu was immensely joyful at the prospect and went off to find what she wanted.
But her escape caused quite a stir over at the Five Emperors Mountain.
Gu Yuan looked at the place where Rong Gu was previously held, now turned into an ice cave.
And the people guarding Rong Gu, over ten of them were critically injured, while others were more or less severely hurt.
Gu Yuan’s gaze instantly turned solemn.
The people behind him, who came to demand an explanation, seeing Gu Yuan’s grim face, ultimately swallowed their words.
The ones clamoring for a theft within the Special Administration Bureau also backed off several steps.
Anyone with eyes could see that Gu Yuan wanted to kill someone.
Some couldn’t help but be relieved.
"Fortunately, it was the Special Administration Bureau that took her away earlier; otherwise, we’d be in big trouble now!"
"Exactly! If she escaped while under our watch, it would be a huge loss, not only facing blame and accountability but also losing quite a few people."
"That woman is surely not an easy one to deal with."
"Look at that ice cave; the Special Administration Bureau tried various methods but couldn’t melt it. Apparently, that woman has completely mastered the Ice Dragon’s power."
"That woman’s escape means we’ll have to be more cautious; we did hit hard on her before. Do you think she’ll come back for revenge?"
"If I were her, I would definitely seek revenge. No way, I’ll send word back to make the disciples under me be careful!"
"Right, right, I’ll do the same!"
...
A portion of them directly withdrew, hastily sending messages back to their families.
Be extra cautious against such a dangerous and vengeful person.
Wanqi Yu looked at Gu Yuan’s dark face and the mess before him, feeling that Gu Yuan was truly struggling.
With so many elites under him, now completely without combat effectiveness, although not dead, it was equivalent to total annihilation.
Just then, his subordinates rushed over to report quietly by Gu Yuan’s ear.
"Gu Chu, over at Death Mountain, our people were ambushed and need reinforcement."
"Send the teams we previously arranged directly to Death Mountain to support them!"
The subordinate hesitated; those teams were arranged for their current situation, and now they’re sent to Death Mountain, leaving them in a predicament.
But the subordinate still absolutely obeyed Gu Yuan’s orders.
"Yes, I’ll go arrange it now."
The subordinate hurriedly left, and Gu Yuan’s eyes instantly turned to Wanqi Yu.
Wanqi Yu’s heart skipped a beat; though he hadn’t interacted much with Gu Yuan, he had some discernment.
At first glance, he felt Gu Yuan was going to assign him a task.
Moreover, it wasn’t going to be anything good.
Sure enough, Gu Yuan spoke up: "I helped your family in Huannan before; you owe me a favor."
Wanqi Yu: ...
Being pursued for a favor usually means trouble.
But what could Wanqi Yu do, he couldn’t just back out, so he had to tough it out.
"What can I do..."
Wanqi Yu hadn’t finished his sentence before Gu Yuan interrupted: "You can definitely do it!"
This left Wanqi Yu with no room to maneuver.
Ah, indeed, a favor debt is the hardest to repay in this world.
"Alright, just tell me."
This reply made Gu Yuan quite satisfied.
"I know your Wanqi Family surely has manpower; I need you to borrow some people for me."
Wanqi Yu looked puzzled at Gu Yuan: "Your Special Administration Bureau is short of people?"
Of course, it’s not short of people, but the matter he needed to handle couldn’t be done openly.
"Just say whether you’ll lend them or not!"
"Alright, I’ll lend them!"
Wanqi Yu turned to make a call, quickly gathering some Wanqi Family members who sneaked over.
After handing over the contact details of the personnel to Gu Yuan, Wanqi Yu thoughtfully added: "These people are my confidants; you can use them with confidence!"
