Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 895 - 893: Being Human Is So Exhausting~
The Little Paperman became a bit anxious upon hearing this. If this place were to self-destruct, the people here, even with Magic Artifacts for protection, would likely suffer heavy casualties.
The expression on the Dragon Spirit’s face changed slightly, but he wasn’t as worried as the Little Paperman.
Before this place completely self-destructs, he still has a way to protect the people here and get them out.
However, in doing so, the secrets of this Underground Palace might be completely hidden.
Originally, the Dragon Spirit didn’t care much about these things, but Yun Ran did.
If the Underground Palace were to fall apart right under his nose, the Dragon Spirit had no doubt that Yun Ran would definitely blame him for it.
Moreover, Yun Ran would speak ill of him in front of the Master.
Just thinking about the hard-earned opportunity to learn from the Master encountering setbacks caused the Dragon Spirit some distress.
"I’ll get you all out of here first!"
The people from the Special Administration Bureau quickly nodded upon hearing these words.
At this time, anyone who dared to speak back would definitely get beaten up.
The Little Paperman didn’t stay idle either. He opened his mouth and said to the people behind him, "I’ll go in and see what’s really happening."
Although those hidden weapons dealt a lot of damage to Magic Artifacts.
But the Little Paperman, its body itself is just a thin paper cut-out, so as long as there’s a gap, it can easily slip through.
These hidden weapons, falling like rain, have gaps between them big enough for it to pass through unharmed.
The Dragon Spirit knew of the Little Paperman’s abilities, nodded, and then pulled the people from the Special Administration Bureau all out.
When everyone came out, they saw all the others who were originally conducting tests outside, lying unconscious on the ground.
Clearly, they had already thoroughly scanned most of the Underground Palace earlier.
Apart from those who died due to internal conflicts, there were no other living beings.
"Who attacked them sneakily?"
"Are there Black Robed People or Great Demons still hiding here?"
"Hurry, check on their conditions!"
...
The people from the Special Administration Bureau hurried forward to check the life and death of their companions.
They felt for their carotid arteries and found them still beating, causing the group to finally sigh in relief.
"Director Xie, they’re fine, just passed out, and by the looks of it, they’ve been poisoned!"
The person said, promptly taking Detoxification Pills out from the emergency kit they carried, feeding them to the people on the ground one by one.
These pills were crafted from formulas Xie Xuzhi had spent a hefty sum to buy from Yun Ran.
Of course, they were modified.
The version Yun Ran provided had astonishing effects, but it wasn’t suitable for mass production.
First, the herbs couldn’t be sourced in enough quantity, second, the ability of those crafting the pills paled in comparison to Yun Ran.
Thus, they could only produce a public version, which still performed much better than previous Detoxification Pills.
Shortly after taking the pills, the people on the ground showed signs of waking up.
The Dragon Spirit kept his gaze fixed on the entrance to the secret passage, waiting for the Little Paperman to come out.
If this place truly had activated the self-destruct mechanism, then he could only release all the remaining power in the ice sphere to freeze the entire Underground Palace.
Xie Xuzhi’s eyes, after the people from the Special Administration Bureau regained consciousness, shifted to the secret passage.
He glanced at the Dragon Spirit and asked, "Are you planning to turn this place into a land of ice and snow?"
The Dragon Spirit wasn’t surprised at all that Xie Xuzhi guessed his intention.
While moving through the world in his human identity after successfully seizing a body, he’d only met two humans who were cunningly clever to an unbearable extent.
One was Yun Ran, the other, this Xie Xuzhi right here.
However, perhaps because of the former Symbiotic Contract with Yun Ran and the Dragon Spirit’s desire to learn from his Junior Master.
Inadvertently, the Dragon Spirit treated himself as a kindred being to Yun Ran.
Whereas Xie Xuzhi, in the Dragon Spirit’s mind, elicited more vigilance and apprehension.
If others knew that he, the mighty Dragon King, actually feared a human with no Xuan Sect methods, he’d probably be laughed at by many.
Yet the truth was, he genuinely didn’t want to approach someone who could mobilize countless resources like him.
Even those Xuan Sect bigwigs couldn’t easily use the Dragon Slaying Sword, Dragon Locking Chain.
Xie Xuzhi could effortlessly pull out such items and use them on him.
Precisely because of this, the Dragon Spirit couldn’t see Xie Xuzhi in a favorable light.
Now, this person easily guessed his intentions again, making the Dragon Spirit quite displeased.
Constantly feeling that if he were to feud with Xie Xuzhi later on, he’d be outwitted until nothing remained of him.
He might not even know how he met his end.
Some matters, when not thought about, aren’t much of a problem, but once thought of, they cause unease.
When the Dragon Spirit looked at Xie Xuzhi again, his gaze bore a certain inexplicable dissatisfaction.
Xie Xuzhi had no idea that he had merely asked a question.
And in doing so, the Dragon Spirit had concocted so much in his mind and ended up not liking him.
If he knew, he’d probably feel unjustly wronged; his sharp mind was determined right from the womb.
As for his meticulous methods in ordinary circumstances, it’s the ability and quality expected of someone in a high position...
It only proved that the value of the phrase ’liking and disliking for the same reasons’ was still rising.
Despite not favoring Xie Xuzhi much, the Dragon Spirit still answered him in a detached manner.
At this moment, he still needed to stand on the same front as Xie Xuzhi.
If there was something the Dragon Spirit hadn’t accounted for, Xie Xuzhi could help cover.
Whether he didn’t want to incur Yun Ran’s displeasure or didn’t want the youngsters calling him Brother Long to die in vain here.
The Dragon Spirit sighed again, realizing that ever since he became human, he worried about too many things. Being human was truly exhausting~
The Little Paperman soon emerged, its small face filled with anger.
"Dragon King, Director Xie, the innermost secret passage indeed showed signs of self-destruction, but the self-destruct Array seems to have encountered an issue and got stuck."
The Little Paperman was genuinely upset; the huge space inside, the dome covered entirely in glittering gemstones, was something the master undoubtedly loved.
But now, half of those gemstones were destroyed. If the master saw it, wouldn’t they be heartbroken?
Even it felt distressed; such a large number of gemstones could buy the master so many things.
The more the Little Paperman thought, the angrier it became. It despised those who so thoughtlessly resorted to self-destruction, truly a waste of resources!
While the Little Paperman was still muttering curses.
The Dragon Spirit suddenly interrupted it, "Repeat what you just said."
The Little Paperman immediately looked at the Dragon Spirit with confusion, its eyes blatantly questioning ’Are you deaf?’
