Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 936 - 934: You Think You Can Compete With Me! (Part 2)
To say I’m not touched would be a lie, but Yun Ran truly didn’t need Dragon Spirit’s medicine right now.
"I’ve already taken medicine. The injuries on my body were caused by the spatial compression and repulsion; they need time to heal slowly."
Dragon Spirit was actually aware of this point. The injuries on his own hands were the best proof.
If the medicine he had was effective, his own wounds would have long been healed.
"Alright, but still, keep this medicine with you."
Speaking as he handed the medicine to Little Paperman, since Yun Ran couldn’t move conveniently right now.
Yun Ran was not being polite; Little Paperman obediently stepped forward and took the medicine with an outstretched hand.
Then, he began helping Dragon Spirit to bandage his previously fractured hand.
Soon, Dragon Spirit’s hand was bandaged, and at the moment, he and Yun Ran looked like brothers in adversity.
"How did you find your way here?"
Though Yun Ran left clues and had Little Paperman there to guard,
normally, people would just think Yun Ran had gone down the cliff to investigate.
Dragon Spirit sat on a rock, watching Yun Ran enjoyably lying on a beanbag chair, feeling a slight sense of imbalance inside.
"Hmph, you have some nerve speaking like that, doing things without any sense of measure, terrifying my mentor half to death!
I was originally in Death Mountain helping those fools at the Special Administration Bureau handle matters, and we were almost finished.
My mentor sent me a message saying you disappeared, having fallen into another dimension’s rift. So I hurriedly came looking for you.
If it weren’t that I contracted the Demon-locking Tower’s Artifact Spirit, making it easier to tear open the void, my mentor would have perhaps come himself!"
Yun Ran: ...
Her dearest Junior Master being so earnestly called ’mentor’ by Dragon Spirit, Yun Ran felt her entire body was a bit off.
"Well, that was my Junior Master..."
Before Yun Ran finished, Dragon Spirit jumped up defensively, standing abruptly.
"That’s my mentor! I’ve even kowtowed to him; even if the Heavenly King Father appeared, he’d still be my mentor!"
Yun Ran opened her mouth but closed it again.
Such scenes of contention for affection, she hadn’t played since she was five.
Seeing Yun Ran at a loss for words, Dragon Spirit felt he’d won the argument, letting out a ’hum’ like he was saying: See, you can’t compete with me!
Feeling victorious and comfortable, Dragon Spirit then sat back down, letting go of previous dissatisfaction about Yun Ran’s beanbag chair.
Dragon Spirit looked around the cave, somewhat disdainful, but refrained from saying anything unpleasant.
After taking medicine, he felt somewhat exhausted and needed some rest.
"I’m going to rest for a while, don’t disturb me!"
Speaking this, Dragon Spirit closed his eyes and instantly entered sleep. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Watching Dragon Spirit come without hesitation just because Junior Master said a word, Yun Ran felt less speechless about Dragon Spirit’s persistent desire to acknowledge Junior Master as his mentor.
Thinking of Junior Master, a sense of guilt arose in Yun Ran’s heart.
When she was taken into the novel’s world by Ginsengfruit, Junior Master lost all news of her, surely worried sick.
Afterwards, he even sent Spirit Puppets to search for her, the cost of which Yun Ran knew without thinking.
That time, she came seeking the Heavenly Book, found clues, yet didn’t inform Junior Master right away, causing him worry again.
However, knowing she’d quickly ended up in a dimensional rift, Junior Master must have sought out the Elder.
Meanwhile, Junior Master was walking anxiously back and forth at Qingfeng Temple.
He’d requested the Elder several times, yet regrettably, the Elder had not reappeared.
It was unclear whether the Elder was ignoring him or previously helping probe Yun Ran’s location affected the Elder’s chance to descend upon this world through the ancestral position.
He only hoped Dragon Spirit could find Yun Ran, otherwise Junior Master was genuinely worried. Based solely on the Demon-locking Tower’s physical form, Yun Ran had no means of returning.
Then, Dragon Spirit’s aura abruptly vanished, as if he’d never existed in this world.
Junior Master’s anxious expression instantly faded, gaze fixing toward Five Emperors Mountain.
"It seems Dragon Spirit also fell into that spatial rift. This time, with both the Demon-locking Tower’s body and Artifact Spirit present, hope it helps that stubborn girl find a way back!"
In terms of fearing Yun Ran might die within that dimensional rift, Junior Master was unconcerned; Yun Ran was taught by them, in survival she’d manage.
His only worry was that Yun Ran could fall in easily but struggle returning.
Now sending Dragon Spirit in too, and with both the Demon-locking Tower’s body and Artifact Spirit present, the probability of returning increased significantly.
Worries about Yun Ran eased; Junior Master’s new concern was Qingfeng Temple.
No clue when Yun Ran might return, short-term definitely manageable.
Yet given more time, with the temple master and chief disciple of Ginsengfruit absent, the heart’s sway might be extensive.
Junior Master’s shadow could achieve much but stabilizing Qingfeng Temple would be tricky.
"No way, I must find a chance to show up, letting other Xuan Sect powers know someone’s overseeing Qingfeng Temple!"
He needed to craft a puppet body for himself.
Thinking, Junior Master headed into Yun Ran’s storeroom; with Yun Ran’s hoarding instincts,
often thinking in case something useful—inside, there must be materials for crafting puppets.
Others, no matter how hard they tried, couldn’t access Yun Ran’s storeroom nor acquire its contents.
Yet the storeroom’s mechanisms were like decorations to Junior Master, allowing him to enter freely.
Soon, from Yun Ran’s treasured jumble, he found suitable materials.
Junior Master ignored the significant Spirit Puppet energy consumption and began crafting the puppet.
Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit’s aura completely disappearing was supposed to be a highly confidential matter.
Yet within Death Mountain, while seeking treasures, Demon King started pacing.
Having already shared this news with Little Paperman.
Thus, Little Papermen stationed in Death Mountain monitoring White Tiger were keenly aware.
Aware that with no owner restraint, and given White Tiger’s jumpy nature, he would surely misbehave.
They focused intently on White Tiger, and should he attempt any mischief, Electric Flower would strike him.
White Tiger didn’t realize the implications of Yun Ran’s aura vanishing.
He approached Little Paperman, planning to ask if the fierce woman was ready to release him.
