Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 931 - 929: The Right Gamble

Hearing the Little Paperman’s words, Yun Ran was a bit surprised, but not entirely unexpected.

"I got it. Keep looking around the area, I’ll go over and take a look."

Unexpectedly, this Heavenly Book is actually so adept at hiding that even the Ginsengfruit, which had a touch of its aura, has become somewhat different.

Yun Ran tried to contact the Ginsengfruit with her mind, but got nothing.

Previously, there had been several occasions when the Ginsengfruit was unable to contact Yun Ran, which made the Ginsengfruit very anxious.

Now, it was the opposite; Yun Ran couldn’t reach the Ginsengfruit, but she wasn’t running around in panic.

The Little Paperman searched around, but couldn’t find a single clue.

This made the Little Paperman quite frustrated, lowering its head to admit fault to Yun Ran: "Master, it’s all my fault, I lost track of the boss."

Seeing the Little Paperman almost on the verge of tears, Yun Ran comforted it a bit.

"It’s not your fault, it’s just that the Heavenly Book is too formidable."

But getting separated from the Ginsengfruit was a fact; previously, when the Little Paperman made mistakes, a few comforting words would quickly bring back its cheerful demeanor.

Now, however, the Little Paperman couldn’t seem to cheer up at all.

It worried whether the boss would encounter any danger after being lured away by the Heavenly Book.

At this moment, the Little Paperman secretly made a decision in its heart; from now on, it would train diligently, improve its skills, and never be this useless again.

Yun Ran had already comforted the Little Paperman once, indicating that she did not blame them.

However, she wouldn’t keep on comforting the Little Paperman, as she wasn’t in the mood to coddle it.

"Take me to the place where you lost track just now!"

The Little Paperman immediately collected its previously gloomy feelings and quickly led the way.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the Ginsengfruit disappeared earlier.

Yun Ran carefully examined the area; indeed, there was no trace of the Ginsengfruit’s aura.

But she wouldn’t doubt the Little Paperman’s abilities.

"Leave a few here to keep watch. Don’t let anyone wander in, nor anyone approach."

As soon as Yun Ran spoke, some Little Papermen immediately darted out, occupying several key positions around the area.

After dispatching one Little Paperman to relay messages to Gu Yuan and the others,

Yun Ran took out the Demon-locking Tower, and after dripping a drop of blood on it,

The originally crystal-clear tower suddenly emanated a red glow.

"There’s definitely something wrong!"

Holding the Demon-locking Tower, Yun Ran cautiously explored the path ahead.

After several attempts, Yun Ran finally determined the direction; only one direction remained consistently red.

This indicated that in this direction, there was an Artifact Spirit that had developed spiritual wisdom.

Had it not been for her contract with the Demon-locking Tower, it would have cost her a considerable price and time to find the whereabouts of the Ginsengfruit.

At the moment, what Yun Ran lacked most was time; she couldn’t afford to waste it.

But with the Demon-locking Tower, it was different. Even tearing through voids was no big deal, like a cheat mode activated.

Yun Ran walked in that direction, with only the last few remaining Little Papermen accompanying her.

As they walked on, the path ahead ended, leaving only a steep cliff.

Yet the red glow from the Demon-locking Tower was still visible, clearly indicating she should keep moving forward.

"Master, there’s no path ahead anymore!"

Upon seeing the cliff, the Little Paperman went forward to inspect it closely.

At first, they suspected it was some sort of Blinding Technique, making the path ahead look like a cliff, when in fact, there was a path.

But after the Little Paperman’s careful inspection, that suspicion was instantly dispelled; ahead was indeed a cliff.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, Yun Ran suddenly remembered how she first came to this world — it was because she was watching the excitement and got pushed off a cliff.

Originally, she wouldn’t have been in trouble, but the Ginsengfruit, in its panic, fearing she might die, stubbornly pulled her into this world.

Now, facing such a cliff again, and these familiar mountains,

This gave Yun Ran a sense of déjà vu.

"Go see what’s beneath the cliff!"

The Little Paperman immediately flew down, carefully surveying the entire perimeter, finding no trace of the Ginsengfruit whatsoever.

"Master, there are no signs of anyone setting foot below, not even animal tracks. The boss probably didn’t jump down."

In places inspected by the Little Papermen, no mistakes would occur.

In theory, this result should be good news, but Yun Ran’s expression grew even more solemn.

If the Ginsengfruit really could resonate with the Heavenly Book, considering the Ginsengfruit’s abilities...

Yun Ran re-tucked the Little Paperman back onto her body, gripping the Demon-locking Tower, then took a leap into the air.

She was gambling.

If the Ginsengfruit could transport her to this world, even knowing that this world’s essence was a novel, then the Heavenly Book might have similar capabilities.

And her Divine Soul was bound to the Ginsengfruit, with the Ginsengfruit having no defenses against Yun Ran. She might also locate the Heavenly Book like the Ginsengfruit.

As Yun Ran jumped down, she only felt darkness enveloping her vision.

Before losing consciousness, Yun Ran knew she had made the right gamble.

A normal cliff was child’s play for someone from the Xuan Sect like Yun Ran; it wouldn’t pose any danger.

Uncertain of how much time passed, rustling sounds reached her ears.

Yun Ran felt as though all her bones were about to be crushed.

Her eyelids felt glued shut, and no matter what she did, she couldn’t open them.

Soon, Yun Ran sensed her body was lifted off the ground by someone.

This feeling wasn’t pleasant, yet her mouth wouldn’t open, preventing her from voicing her thoughts.

When a cool, sweet liquid poured into her mouth, Yun Ran wanted to reject it, but her body was completely beyond her control.

Yun Ran immediately became somewhat agitated.

This body, though not as good as her original one, had been tempered through numerous medicinal baths, making it much stronger.

Yet now, it was so easily controlled by others.

Yun Ran’s heart felt as puffed up as a blowfish with anger.

Once that liquid settled in her stomach, Yun Ran lost consciousness again.

"Host, wake up!"

It was the Ginsengfruit’s voice!

Yun Ran once more attempted to open her eyes with all her might, but this time, they opened effortlessly.

The excessive effort earlier left her eyelids twitching.

"Great, Host, you’re finally awake."

Yun Ran looked at the completely unfamiliar boy in front of her, but the voice was unmistakably the Ginsengfruit’s.

"Oh God, how did you end up like this!"

The Ginsengfruit, now a boy, seeing the host’s shock, heaved a sigh of relief with a pout.

He hurriedly helped Yun Ran up, explaining rather aggrievedly what had happened over these past days.
