Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 917 - 915: The Difference Between Locals and Outsiders

Chapter 917: Chapter 915: The Difference Between Locals and Outsiders

The White Tiger wasn’t completely hopelessly stupid; he had genuinely wanted to give this treasure to Yun Ran just now.

Who would have thought Yun Ran recognized it at a glance, and he assumed Yun Ran would like it.

Alas, his good intentions went to waste.

The Little Paperman tasked with returning the clam shell home had just emerged from the water. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Despite having a paper body, there wasn’t a trace of dampness on it.

Seeing this made Yun Jinyang increasingly envious; such practical little papermen!

"Boss, I’ve returned the clam shell, and it actually thanked me.

However, it’s presumably just developed spiritual wisdom and is a bit silly, with a very young voice!"

Listening to the paperman’s childish voice, Yun Jinyang almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

A baby voice calling other voices immature—how amusing.

Ginsengfruit wasn’t surprised by the result, as the clam shell was already close to gaining spiritual wisdom.

Once it overcame its destined catastrophe, it could naturally advance.

Additionally, Ginsengfruit used talisman paper from Qingfeng Temple to heal the clam shell, with fantastic results.

This directly accelerated the clam shell’s process of gaining spiritual wisdom, so it was no surprise it could communicate with Little Paperman.

"It’s getting late, we should head back."

Whether due to the night falling or the pond itself, no one knew.

Mist began to rise from the water, making the place increasingly resemble a fairyland.

Yun Jinyang and the White Tiger had no objections; indeed, it was time for them to hurry back.

The little incident at the pond had come to an end for now.

Upon returning to the camping site where Yun Ran and the others were before.

Looking at the giant pearl and the massive Yinchen Wood before her, Yun Ran fell silent.

Is this the difference between locals and outsiders?

She had visited Death Mountain before, and only got some average treasures.

Now with the White Tiger’s help, wow, these items, you casually take one out, it’s valuable hard currency.

The huge pearl, emitting radiant glow, would entice women who love jewelry, and even men couldn’t resist it.

They say if you have a treasure, not showcasing it but just collecting it is somewhat of a waste.

Especially now that this treasure belongs to her, Yun Ran already has new thoughts about it.

"This pearl is so beautiful, Ginsengfruit, next time set up a display case at Qingfeng Temple’s entrance, put it at the door, let others see Qingfeng Temple’s wealth."

Though the others were a bit surprised upon hearing this, they weren’t shocked.

And Yun Jinyang was utterly bewildered on his face.

He’d thought earlier that such a thing was not easily protected by ordinary people.

But Yun Ran could certainly protect it; even if placed outside as decoration, no one would dare to say anything.

Yet he hadn’t expected Yun Ran to actually make this valuable treasure a display for anyone to casually look at.

"Won’t this be bad, too high-profile?"

Yun Jinyang knew that sometimes being too high-profile can easily incite envy and secretive interference.

Many people often prefer quietly making a fortune.

Listening to Yun Jinyang’s words, Yun Ran waved her hand: "The more high-profile, the more attention we capture, the better."

This can hardly be deemed high-profile, even if she didn’t do it, many people have their eyes set on Qingfeng Temple.

Especially now, after she teamed up with Xie Xuzhi to take down one of the Black Robed People’s lairs, attention on her increased.

Moreover, she indeed plans to confront the other Xuan Sect people to preserve Death Mountain’s peace.

It’s well-known the Black Robed People wreaked havoc in Death Mountain for centuries without anyone noticing.

This suggests many exploitable things in Death Mountain.

Once resources are tapped, controlling them becomes impossible.

Perhaps, Death Mountain has many spirits tainted by karma, but there are also many innocent spirits.

And here, a unique ecological system has long been established.

If outsiders intervene, it will collapse, leaving countless lives to perish.

It’s said that heaven cherishes life; within her capability, Yun Ran is willing to be their protector.

Once she decides on a course of action, Yun Ran doesn’t shrink back.

However, if she can divert some people’s attention elsewhere, enduring less scrutiny would be ideal.

Upon seeing the giant pearl and huge Yinchen Wood, Yun Ran had this plan in mind.

She aims to attract those with shallow vision and those who like sneaky maneuvers to focus on the pearl and Yinchen Wood.

By then, those people’s eyes will be fixated on these items, naturally reducing focus on other matters.

Yun Jinyang may not know the specifics of what’s happening.

But any group formed by people—be it merchants, aristocratic families, or Xuan Sect people—inevitably involves various plots and schemes.

This moment, Yun Jinyang clearly saw the cunning delight in Yun Ran’s eyes as if she succeeded in her schemes.

If you’re wondering why he’s familiar with such an expression, it’s probably because he has several siblings who love clever tricks.

Every time those little fools believe they’ve successfully schemed, it’s this kind of expression.

However, he clearly knows that Yun Ran is different from those little fools.

Others showing this expression often means they’ve made things worse.

But in Yun Ran’s case, it surely means the scheme succeeded.

Yun Jinyang didn’t ask further; as long as Yun Ran has plans, he only needs to follow the path Yun Ran lays out.

The White Tiger listened in all along, yet, for most people’s minds, these words go through multiple cycles.

To the White Tiger, it’s like entering one ear and exiting the other, listening just for the sake of listening, not knowing what it means.

Seeing everyone silent, he finally pointed to the wood behind him: "What about this, do we want it?"

Indeed, it’s a treasure, but gifting it to Yun Ran seemed unappreciated.

If Yun Ran didn’t want it, he’d have to toss it somewhere, otherwise, it’s rather space-consuming.

Fortunately, none of those present could hear the White Tiger’s thoughts.

Otherwise, they’d likely feel the need for an oxygen mask, wondering how he came up with such exasperating thoughts!
