Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 860 - 858: So Disgusting!!!

Yun Ran vigilantly watched those eyes filled with hatred toward her, sealing with one hand while holding a feather fan in the other, attacking toward those red eyes.

But the result was not as Yun Ran had expected.

The pair of red eyes belonging to Rong Gu clearly still carried a hint of self-awareness and thought.

They not only dodged Yun Ran’s attack but, seeing the unfavorable situation, quickly turned around and fled.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

Yun Ran: ...

Truly worthy of being Rong Gu’s eyes, incomparable to those other red eyes that have long lost self-awareness.

Yun Ran did not pursue, instead turning her head to look at Rong Gu lying on the ground nearby.

A closer inspection revealed that Rong Gu’s chest was still faintly rising and falling; she was still alive!

"Why do you have such a great hatred toward me? We’ve fought a few times, but it hasn’t come to a life-and-death struggle, right?"

Rong Gu, already at the end of her strength, sneered.

"You killed my big brother, attracted those people to target me, killed my Azure Dragon, repeatedly ruined my plans, disrupted my Dao Heart, and now you have the nerve to say it hasn’t come to a life-and-death struggle?"

Though her voice was weak, it did not hinder Yun Ran from hearing clearly.

Rong Gu’s words made Yun Ran pause. Even though those events were not her intention to provoke or specifically target Rong Gu.

But from Rong Gu’s perspective, considering the outcomes, it seemed reasonable that Rong Gu hated her.

Yun Ran decisively shut her mouth. Her sharp tongue was one thing, but deliberately rubbing salt in someone’s wound was another.

At least, at this moment, saying things without care did no particular good, so it was better to accumulate some merit in her speech.

Rong Gu, however, ignored Yun Ran’s reactions and continued to vent her hatred and dissatisfaction.

She clearly sensed that she was trapped inside this Demon-locking Tower, with no chance of escaping unharmed.

With Yun Ran, the person she both hated and envied the most, nearby, she could at least curse her heartily.

"I was born in a mountain village that favored sons over daughters, living a precarious existence. Each day when I opened my eyes, there was hunger and beatings.

If I were a person with mediocre aptitude and a foolish mind, perhaps this is how my life would have passed.

But from the moment I became aware, I knew I was different from others; I remembered every harsh word and vile act directed at me clearly.

Do you know how painful it is for a child to have such a good memory, especially to remember all those hardships so clearly?

Perhaps even Heaven pitied my aptitude, unwilling to see my talents wasted; I ended up picking up an ancient book.

Something incomprehensible to others, I could easily understand and learn from.

I paid unimaginable efforts to escape the mountains and be revered by others.

Yet everything of mine was destroyed by you, even though my talent is not inferior to yours.

But because your fate is better, you have the backing of a sect, so you can easily become a rising star within the Xuan Sect.

The people from the Special Administration Bureau treat you courteously, and even those Xuan Sect bigwigs are kind to you.

But me, forced to enter the bureau, utilized by others, even lost my most crucial support because of you, ending up like this, why?"

Listening to Rong Gu’s voice, tinged with blood and tears, if it were someone soft-hearted or indecisive, they might genuinely feel pity for Rong Gu.

They might even lament Rong Gu’s good talent, only to end up on the wrong path due to different starting points, resulting in such a tragic fate.

Yun Ran calmly spoke: "There’s no why, the result today is purely due to different personal choices.

Some people with great talent, good background, possessing many things others don’t, still become evil cultivators.

Some with average talent, poor background, bullied by many, yet become pillars within the Xuan Sect, hating evil vehemently.

Thus, talent and background are not the sole deciding factors in life’s direction. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

You blame me for repeatedly ruining your plans and affecting your life.

But have you forgotten, back when you crafted those things, no one forced you; at that time, you and I hadn’t even confronted each other.

The Xuan Sect people you harmed, many born into poor circumstances, with scarce resources yet striving upwards.

Weren’t they aggrieved? Didn’t they hate you? You destroyed not only their lives but their beliefs.

They wholeheartedly wanted to eliminate demons and defend their path, but their souls were trapped by you, stained with sins, deprived of reincarnation.

If it weren’t for me, sacrificing my own merit to open the Ghost World gates and let them face their punishment for a chance at reincarnation.

You probably forgot, someone weaker than you was deprived of everything by you.

There’s no reason that when you’re stronger, everything you do should be justified, and others’ feelings don’t matter.

But when you can’t match others, everything you endure should be shouted as unfair, justifying your resentment."

Yun Ran’s words pierced through Rong Gu’s unwillingness and grievance like a sharp sword.

Torn from her surface of injustice, Rong Gu was so infuriated she couldn’t catch her breath.

Her entire being lost the strength to resist the fog.

Rong Gu’s body turned into dust before Yun Ran.

Blending into the surrounding fog, becoming one of its nutrients.

Yun Ran: ...

Dear me, this fog actually devours the lives trapped within it like this? It’s disgusting!!!

Yun Ran immediately pulled out the cloak from her body, wrapping her head up, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Rong Gu ended up like this from the moment she forcibly sealed the irrational, violent Ice Dragon inside her Spirit Platform.

This kind of destructive behavior, hinting at mutual destruction, was inherently self-destructive.

Especially now, with the Ice Dragon drawn out by Yun Ran, Rong Gu’s inner hatred and jealousy were infinitely magnified.

No matter how powerful the person, in such a situation, their Essence Blood couldn’t withstand such depletion.

Yun Ran walked to where Rong Gu had dissipated; surprisingly, not even a bone was left, unlike other places seen before.

Yet Yun Ran didn’t take too much notice; other places leaving bones might indicate they weren’t devoured by this fog.
