Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 900 - 898: Who the Hell Did This! (2nd Update)
The horned snake looked at the Black Panther guarding against it, almost coughing up blood in anger. Previously, it was deceived by this guy into getting struck by Heavenly Thunder, and it didn’t retaliate!
[Do you suspect me of deceiving you? Pah, do you think you’re some hot stuff? With your kind, you’d be late even for a plate of fresh shit!]
The horned snake got angrier the more it thought about it, and roared again at the Black Panther.
[Scram, scram, scram! Leave if you want!]
Anyway, it would absolutely not leave. It had set its sights on the position of the Demon King’s close guards. Anyone who tried to take it from it would face its wrath.
Unfortunately, the horned snake had no idea there were still four White Wolves left beside the White Tiger; only their energy was greatly depleted, and they spent most of their time sleeping now.
Even if one assumed that the Demon King wanted to find new close guards, a colorful creature like the horned snake was unlikely to be chosen.
Pure black or pure white Great Demons surely stood a better chance.
The Black Panther, after being insulted, didn’t turn around and leave but laid down on the spot instead.
Good things couldn’t all be left to this nemesis, the horned snake.
Yun Ran walked a bit further, recalling a message from the Little Paperman discovering a suspected Spiritual Body of an Ancient Beast in the Underground Palace.
After thinking about it, she taught the Little Paperman a few magic spells for sealing Ancient Beasts, instructing it to inform the Dragon Spirit.
If she had already helped to this extent, and the Dragon Spirit still couldn’t handle that suspected Spiritual Body of an Ancient Beast, then there was nothing she could do.
Surely not everything could be left for her to handle; she’d be worked to death!
After mentally passing on the message, Yun Ran sighed deeply.
When would she be able to just sit in the Qingfeng Temple and have all matters handled smoothly like her master?
Yes, she needed to bring more people into Qingfeng Temple and give Xin Fu more responsibilities. People who were capable should work more!
Far away, leading people and not daring to rest even for a moment, Xin Fu was sneezing fiercely.
"Xin Ge, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The people following Xin Fu cared for him sincerely, to the point of wishing to take his place.
Since being picked by Xin Fu to handle external affairs for Qingfeng Temple, their status had skyrocketed.
Previously, they were insignificant nobodies, but now, as soon as others heard they were from Qingfeng Temple, even if not greeted with delicacies, they were treated respectfully.
Not to mention, the resources provided by the temple master were things they couldn’t have dreamed of previously.
At this moment, they were genuinely worried that Xin Fu’s illness would delay upcoming matters. Their plans and itinerary were already set.
Any delay would be unaffordable.
"It’s nothing, probably someone is talking about me."
During this time, they had snatched quite a bit of business from Xuan Sect forces, so a few complaints weren’t surprising.
Xin Fu felt no guilt about it. Those people hadn’t improved for years.
The talisman papers and peace charms they sold couldn’t compare to those from Qingfeng Temple.
For Qingfeng Temple to develop, it couldn’t rely solely on the temple master.
They needed to make Qingfeng Temple a household name, so whenever someone thought of peace charms or talisman papers, they thought of Qingfeng Temple.
"Everyone, finish your meal quickly. We still need to head to the next place. Also, you’ve been following me for so long during this period.
You’re familiar with Qingfeng Temple’s products, business style, and rules now. Soon, you’ll have to lead your teams too.
If you know any trustworthy and capable people, feel free to recommend them to Qingfeng Temple. You’ll be duly rewarded!"
Upon hearing this, everyone got extremely excited.
They never feared giving effort; they feared it wouldn’t get the recognition it deserved or become someone else’s stepping-stone.
This period of firsthand experience had firmly put Qingfeng Temple in their hearts as a priority.
"Xin Ge, we definitely won’t disappoint you!"
Despite being extremely busy lately, Xin Fu was satisfied with the current hustle.
He habitually took out his phone, looking at the chat with the Ginsengfruit, which was still empty.
If not for the prior instructions from the Ginsengfruit, who told him to just focus on their tasks and not worry about other issues, he would have been anxious by now.
Knowing the temple master’s capabilities kept him calm. Otherwise, Xin Fu would have been on edge long ago.
Yun Ran was just thinking about how to maximize Xin Fu’s workload when she saw the White Tiger revert to its original form.
This sudden change made Yun Ran’s temper flare up.
"What are you doing!"
If not for knowing her talisman papers were reliable, anyone else would lose confidence due to that sudden move from the White Tiger.
The White Tiger looked innocently at Yun Ran: "I saw you sighing, and thought you were tired of walking, wanted you to ride on my back..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Previously, the White Tiger had been forced to be Yun Ran’s mount, even resenting it.
Were it not for watching the Dragon Spirit being ridden by Yun Ran too, the White Tiger might have taken it to heart.
Now, the White Tiger willingly offered to be Yun Ran’s mount as a gesture of sincerity.
Now it was Yun Ran’s turn to be speechless.
Was it fatigue? No, it was her overwhelming responsibilities.
Nevertheless, with a free ride, why not take it?
"Alright, since you’re so eager, it’d be impolite to refuse. Anyway, I’ve had enough of this wretched place; leaving sooner would be ideal."
With the White Tiger as her mount, a passage that would have taken half a day to traverse now took less than half an hour.
However, the excitement of almost exiting quickly turned sour when confronted with reality.
The exit was blocked by giant rocks, spanning tens of meters at least.
"Host, these rocks are covered in talisman papers; ordinary means won’t move them."
Usually, people would use explosives to clear such obstacles.
But with talisman papers on these stones, explosives were useless, as were typical magic artifacts.
"Who did this! If I find out, I’ll skin them alive."
So close to the exit, yet blocked, was truly frustrating.
Yun Ran released a Little Paperman: "Go check out what’s happening outside!"
"Yes, master."
Although this place was blocked by giant rocks, ventilation was unaffected, and the gaps between the rocks were sizeable.
The Little Paperman had no trouble weaving through these spaces.
