Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 940 - 938: Don’t Be Too Greedy! (Second Update)
If the people in this small mountain village are very fierce, they might band together to rob the Dragon Spirit.
At that time, there could be quite a show to watch.
Yun Ran naturally felt the malicious pleasure in the battle between the Ginsengfruit and the Dragon Spirit, she could only shake her head to express neutrality, not helping anyone.
Soon, the Dragon Spirit returned with the pearl, looking defeated.
Meeting Yun Ran’s gaze, the Dragon Spirit said somewhat puzzled: "These people don’t recognize such a valuable item, they don’t even know what a pearl is!"
In a fit of anger, the Dragon Spirit continued: "However, fortunately I still asked for directions, they said just follow that small road and walk for three days to reach the city."
Yun Ran: ...
Ginsengfruit: ...
Walking for three days is nothing for Yun Ran and the others, but for the people of this small mountain village, it’s a big problem.
It seems the people here seldom leave, that’s why they don’t even recognize a pearl.
"Since they don’t want a pearl, give them what they do want."
The Ginsengfruit nodded, then took out a stack of peace charms from its body, drew out a few and placed them on the large stone at the entrance of the village.
After putting down the items, Ginsengfruit and Dragon Spirit lifted the sedan chair and left.
Watching their backs disappear, the people who had been staying in the village began to come out.
A white-haired old man walked tremblingly to the large stone at the village entrance.
The villagers indeed do not recognize such a large pearl, and even if they did, they wouldn’t dare accept it.
Until they saw the peace charms on the large stone, the elder’s squinted eyes suddenly widened.
"Peace... Peace Charm!"
Upon hearing this, others quickly came to check, and when they saw what their village elder held, they all widened their eyes.
"They are Dark Masters!"
Immediately, some showed regretful expressions, such a close encounter with Dark Masters was simply let go! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Moreover, the Dark Masters they had seen before all looked down on people with their chins held high, never had they seen such approachable Dark Masters.
"But earlier, they seemed so easy to talk to, just asking questions, giving candy, giving peace charms, unlike the ones we’ve seen before..."
One villager initially wanted to say the ones before were not good people, but got glared at by the village elder.
Immediately swallowed the last few words.
"Getting these is quite good already, one shouldn’t be too greedy!"
The village elder, clearly commanding respect, spoke up and everyone dared not say more.
"There are fifteen peace charms here, our village has fifteen households, one charm per household."
The village elder’s son quickly stood up, helped his father distribute the peace charms, then sent everyone off to do their tasks.
Once there were only the father and son left at the village entrance.
The village elder’s son curiously asked: "Dad, don’t you find their attire a bit strange, though many Dark Masters are strange, but..."
The village elder’s son didn’t know how to describe the feeling, but felt that those people were not simple.
That’s why earlier when the Dragon Spirit approached them, wanting directions and offering a pearl as compensation, they outright refused.
Those who seemed complicated, they were afraid to interact with.
The village elder’s eyes reverted to their previous squinting state.
He said meaningfully: "No matter who they are, as long as they don’t bully us, they’re good people, other matters don’t affect us."
That night, a rainstorm hit, and the laziest household in the village hadn’t repaired their slightly dilapidated house.
The rain soaked the mud walls, the roof beam’s wood lost support, the entire house suddenly collapsed.
A loud "boom".
Despite the rain masking much of the sound, the house collapse noise alarmed other villagers.
The neighbor of this household went out wearing a cloak to investigate.
Seeing the house collapsed, immediately sent their child to call for help.
No matter what, first dig them out, otherwise, they’ll be crushed alive underneath.
Villagers quickly gathered, one after another.
Under occasional lightning, they clearly saw the tragic scene before them.
The village elder’s son couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath, the house collapsed so severely, could people inside still be alive?
This lazy and greedy family’s adults didn’t deserve death, moreover, there were children in the house too.
"Quick, help dig them out, see if they can be saved!"
Now, regardless of any past disputes, everyone worked together to dig.
Seeing the terrible state, when they really approached and prepared to dig, their hearts sank even lower.
Such severe collapse, even without being crushed dead, they’d be buried alive.
Just as everyone thought it would be hard to dig, a bright light suddenly flashed.
Then, under the astonished eyes, dirt started emerging outward from the collapsed site, like seeds breaking through soil to grow.
Soon, cries and shouts were heard, strong sounds that didn’t seem injured.
"Quick, help!"
When the rain gradually stopped, the entire family of seven was dug out, except for looking a bit pathetic, surprisingly unharmed.
One of the dug-out children held a peace charm with a burnt corner in hand.
"It’s a peace charm, it’s a peace charm!"
Such a disaster, this family wasn’t even scratched.
The villagers finally realized how precious the peace charms left by those people were.
Everyone started having different thoughts.
Someone thought to sell the peace charm at a high price; a peace charm capable of warding such disaster could only be achieved at Heaven Rank.
Others thought to safeguard it well, not to use it recklessly, in case of future needs.
More so, some thought of using it as a gift, to fulfill their own objectives.
...
In short, at this moment, everyone had their own plans.
Yun Ran and the others were sheltering from rain midway.
Ginsengfruit, while making soup, suddenly looked toward the direction of the village.
"Host, one of the peace charms we gave out has been activated!"
Yun Ran, resting with eyes closed, said calmly: "Once given away, it belongs to others."
