Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 855 - 853: Reciprocity (Second Update)

This fright wasn’t fully digested yet, and right after, they saw the man standing not far from the White Tiger.

Isn’t that their Director Xie? Who else could it be!

Some people were scared on the spot, afraid that their fragile Director Xie would be swallowed up in one gulp by the White Tiger.

But no one dared to say anything out loud, let alone shout "watch out" to Xie Xuzhi in the distance.

While they were on guard, gripping their Magic Artifacts tightly, swallowing nervously, and bracing themselves to confront the opponent.

The White Tiger also figured out the strength of these newcomers and realized that except for the Dragon Spirit talking to the Little Paperman, who posed a threat to it, the rest of them couldn’t even handle one swipe of its paw.

Danger alert cleared.

The White Tiger spoke: "A bunch of idiots!"

Then it turned around, showed its rear to everyone, and lay down again.

Only when it turned did they see there were four White Wolves with snow-white fur just like it behind the White Tiger.

Everyone: ...

Even the Dragon Spirit looked at the White Tiger with some curiosity.

Earlier, he really didn’t regard this White Tiger as any threat, not because he was arrogant, but because he trusted the Little Paperman. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

If the White Tiger was really dangerous, it would have been shredded by the Little Paperman long ago, rather than standing here unharmed.

But his peripheral vision had indeed been fixed on the White Tiger, and he never imagined that the White Tiger would be such an oddball.

Until, the Dragon Spirit clearly saw a collar tied around the White Tiger’s neck and sensed Yun Ran’s aura on it.

He immediately felt that the White Tiger’s bizarre behavior made perfect sense.

Back when he was beaten up by Yun Ran, he also behaved similarly, looking at others who feared him as if they were morons.

The people from the Special Administration Bureau were so thrown by the scene in front of them that they had a crisis of confidence.

Previously, they were suppressed by those lone Great Demons, and if it weren’t for Brother Long, they wouldn’t know how many times they’d have died.

The sense of oppression given by this White Tiger was much stronger than that of those Great Demons before.

Yet here this Great Demon was, calling them idiots, which was eerier than being attacked outright without a word.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay but quickly suppressed such thoughts.

Then they saluted Xie Xuzhi: "Director Xie."

Xie Xuzhi nodded slightly: "Mm, you’ve worked hard these days, find a place to rest first."

The courtyard they were currently occupying, or rather, the side hall, was quite large, with at least a dozen rooms.

Finding a place to rest shouldn’t be too difficult.

The Special Administration Bureau folks nodded immediately upon hearing this, as they were indeed quite exhausted.

Of course, they were keenly observant and noticed that Director Xie and Brother Long had some matters to discuss.

Until only Xie Xuzhi and the Dragon Spirit remained in the courtyard.

The Dragon Spirit sat on a stone bench beside him, and as soon as he sat down, the Little Paperman pulled out an antique cup and served him some water.

There’s nothing like having your own people around, the Dragon Spirit at this moment felt quite at home.

Watching the Little Paperman who was serving him tea and water, he smiled and pulled out a Magic Artifact he’d picked up earlier from the stone pillar, handing it over.

Lowering his voice on purpose: "This is a good find I picked up, a gift for you!"

The Little Paperman happily reached out to take it. The Magic Artifact was still a bit warm, feeling nice to the touch.

Though it didn’t know what this thing was for, the Little Paperman recognized the material, knowing it wasn’t cheap stuff.

Being by Yun Ran’s side for so long, the Little Paperman completely inherited Yun Ran’s love for wealth.

"Thank you very much, great Dragon King~"

The Little Paperman couldn’t put it down for a while, fondling it lovingly before putting the Magic Artifact away.

Then it took out two treasures it had secretly hidden away before.

With an expression of reluctance, it said, "A gift in return, great Dragon King, you can choose one, I only have these two treasures."

The Dragon Spirit rolled its eyes speechlessly at the Little Paperman’s expression, not believing that story for a second.

With the Little Paperman’s cunning nature, how could it only have these few treasures, this miserly attitude was just like Yun Ran.

If he hadn’t taken the initiative to give the Magic Artifact to the Little Paperman, he’s afraid he wouldn’t even get a hair from the Little Paperman’s hands.

But, having something is better than nothing, so the Dragon Spirit seriously examined the treasures in the Little Paperman’s hands and picked the one he preferred more.

"I’ll take this one then."

The Little Paperman’s face was full of reluctance; if it could, it wouldn’t want to give out anything at all.

But its owner had said that there must be sacrifice to gain, and you can’t act like a Pixiu who only takes but never gives.

Beside them, Xie Xuzhi watched the whole ’gift exchange’ process between the Dragon Spirit and the Little Paperman, his face full of helplessness.

He was too well-mannered to be brutally honest with his own people.

Otherwise, he might have said: You two, you are really generous!

"Director Xie’s expression looks like he wants to eat someone? Could it be he’s annoyed by us?"

The Dragon Spirit only toned down a bit in front of Yun Ran and Junior Master.

With others, sorry, he didn’t bother with courtesies!

"Not exactly annoyed."

Surprisingly, Xie Xuzhi patiently answered the Dragon Spirit’s question.

The Dragon Spirit pursed its lips but didn’t want to continue discussing his ’relationship’ with the Little Paperman with Xie Xuzhi.

It directly changed the topic, pointing at the White Tiger: "Is this the Demon King you brought out of the Demon-locking Tower?"

The White Tiger’s ears perked up immediately upon hearing the Dragon Spirit mention it.

"Yes, identified by Huaiyi True Master."

At first, the Dragon Spirit thought this White Tiger seemed a bit feeble, and the title of Demon King seemed a little unworthy.

But upon hearing that the White Tiger’s identity was verified by Junior Master, he immediately accepted it.

"Since Junior Master said it, then it must be true, but what’s with those White Wolves behind?"

Xie Xuzhi explained Yun Ran’s prior interest in the White Tiger and the White Wolves.

The Dragon Spirit nodded: "That’s something Yun Ran would do. This fur really does look nice, not a single mixed hair, just a bit lacking in luster, probably due to being confined for so long.

But it’s fine, after some time it’ll be alright, and when its fur is shiny and sleek, it’ll be even more valuable to skin!

White Tiger: ...

White Wolves: ...

Damn, is it really appropriate to say such creepy stuff right in front of them?

At this moment, the Dragon Spirit completely lacked the consciousness of being a naturally-born Life.

Actually considering Yun Ran’s desire to skin them for collection as something normal.

The White Tiger slightly turned its head, its eyes glaring as it fixated on the Dragon Spirit out of the corner of its eye.

Right now, it felt the ’kindred spirit’ before it was even more despicable than that vile woman Yun Ran!

Better not let it find an opportunity, or else, it must get rid of this Dragon Spirit, damn bastard!
