Chapter 1199: Chapter 1195: Want to See the Scene

Yun Ran, standing far away, still sensed some vibrations coming from the underground, yet they didn’t feel like an earthquake.

The water surface in the pool rippled due to the underground vibrations.

The barely-there stench of stagnant water intensified because of these ripples.

Yun Ran frowned and covered her nose as the smell was rather overpowering and made her uncomfortable.

Just as Yun Ran was about to block her sense of smell, the Little Princess Puppet immediately pulled out a very pretty face mask.

"Master, this is a bib I made for myself earlier, but you can use it as a face mask."

Yun Ran: ...

Managing to turn a bib into a face mask — she might be the first.

Nevertheless, seeing the Little Princess Puppet effortlessly pull out an item to adorn itself.

Yun Ran felt she vaguely understood; this one’s love for beauty was quite intense.

But Yun Ran still reached out and took the bib offered by it, putting it on her face, which worked just like a face mask.

Er Dan glanced at the beautiful mask on Yun Ran’s face and wanted one too, his eyes eagerly turning to the Little Princess Puppet.

The words ’want one’ practically jumped out in bold letters.

Little Princess Puppet: ...

Ha, no way, is it some kind of generous puppet? Only the Master can receive its items!

Ignored, Er Dan was already brewing the thought in its heart — could it beat this pitifully small puppet?

Eyes sweeping back and forth, Er Dan confirmed that, if it came to a fight, it might indeed have the upper hand.

But recalling it hadn’t caused trouble long ago, starting a fight over a trivial disagreement now would likely attract bad attention.

In the end, Er Dan decided to take a step back for now; once Yun Ran was no longer here, it would spar with the little puppet and seize all its good stuff!

Hehe, it too was rather clever~

Yun Ran was oblivious to what Er Dan was mulling over; all her thoughts were devoted to the vibrations beneath Moonlight City.

Thinking for a moment, she contacted the Little Paperman: "What exactly is the situation with the vibrations underground in Moonlight City?"

Still hiding above the clouds, the Little Paperman felt somewhat guilty.

It had just tried; as soon as it descended within the range of Moonlight City, that dangerous gaze would once again lock onto it.

Even though its aura was entirely concealed, posing like any ordinary paperman, that gaze still wouldn’t fade.

[Master, I think I messed up...]

The Little Paperman felt a bit wronged, recounting all that had transpired and what it had attempted.

Finally, it hesitantly asked: "Master, what should be done now?"

Yun Ran could sense from the Little Paperman’s explanation a deep sense of remorse, as if it sincerely believed it committed a grave mistake, troubling Yun Ran.

But in fact, Yun Ran hardly even blinked.

The actions of the Little Paperman couldn’t be considered wrong.

Compared to what she got up to in her younger days, there is no comparison.

Though back then, Junior Master and the elders hung her up and gave her a beating, while cleaning up the mess, they didn’t utter a word of blame.

At most, they thought she was a mischievous child, jumping around, not caring about her own safety and showing enough gall to drive them up the wall, leading to the beating.

Not to mention the Little Paperman wasn’t nearly as difficult to manage as she was; delaying was part of Yun Ran’s plan.

Hence, even if the sky were falling and there’s a major fiasco, it wouldn’t be attributable to the Little Paperman.

[Master, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me...]

The Little Paperman’s confession continued, but was interrupted by Yun Ran halfway through.

"If the sky falls, your master will hold it up, not your place to repent and admit fault!"

The Little Paperman suddenly felt like crying: Boo hoo hoo, Master is truly too kind, even when it makes mistakes, she’s still protective~

Yun Ran now had little time to waste comforting the Little Paperman.

She spoke again: "Alright, just stay comfortably above the clouds for now, don’t approach Moonlight City."

[Okay, Master!]

Cutting off communication with the Little Paperman, Yun Ran began contacting Ginsengfruit, unsure whether it got entangled too.

Even though Ginsengfruit’s body wouldn’t suffer injury, she was still somewhat worried.

When Ginsengfruit connected with Yun Ran, its gaze was tightly fixed on the street’s entrance.

The footsteps marching forward carried a tinge of murder; soon, Ginsengfruit could see who was coming.

The evident concern in Yun Ran’s voice was audible: "Ginsengfruit, how are you?"

Ginsengfruit’s eyes sparkled from the shadows.

"Host, I’ve stirred up a big one this time, probably stalling these people for quite a long time!"

Then Ginsengfruit described the underground phenomena it scanned, and the threatening footsteps due to arrive.

"Master, those things below are quite sinister; not only do they block my scan, but they even cause my eyes to feel a dull pain!"

Ginsengfruit’s body, being a puppet itself, usually ignores pain.

If not for it needing to appear human, Yun Ran specially added materials that create some sensations of pain.

Consequently, even if someone stabbed Ginsengfruit with a knife, the pain would be akin to a mosquito bite.

Making it feel a dull pain signaled that the earlier attack on its eyes was notably potent.

"Also, the things underground can control many iron chains, just unsure about their origins~"

Were it not for the copper mirror’s mechanism lock, which was half unlocked, Yun Ran would almost rush over to inspect the scene.

The Little Princess Puppet stood nearby, akin to the worm inside Yun Ran’s belly.

Immediately catching Yun Ran’s impulse to move.

But with uncontrollable factors in Moonlight City, activating the Water Curtain Mirror easily drew attention.

"Master, my eyes can fly out to survey the situation here, plus, I can share my vision with you."

Yun Ran looked surprised at the Little Princess Puppet.

Wasn’t this something she crafted herself? How come she didn’t know it had such a function?

As Yun Ran was questioning herself, the Little Princess Puppet already took the two beads from her eyes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

If memory served, the beads were made from scraps taken from her disciple brother back then.
