Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 224 - 223: Heavenly Dao’s Gift

The face of Dragon Spirit was too deceptive now, and the lean man also thought he was some kind of displaced young master from a wealthy family.

He took care of him in every possible way, even kindly comforting him, hoping to cheer him up.

If you ask whether he had any thoughts of taking advantage of the situation, of course, he did; if by chance things turned around, he would definitely benefit.

But more than that, it was empathy, as the lean man once was an illegitimate child of a major family, purged and expelled, narrowly avoiding death several times outside.

Seeing Dragon Spirit now, he felt like he was looking at himself ten years ago.

Back then, he always thought how great it would be if someone could lend him a hand when he was at his lowest.

Dragon Spirit had no idea that his half-dead appearance had led to so much speculation.

However, he was not one to be grateful, and being able to eat the food provided by the other person was a privilege for them.

Now, this lean man patted his shoulder, and Dragon Spirit glanced sideways with a look that wasn’t ferocious but was oppressive enough to make the man waver.

The lean man’s mind wavered, and he reflexively withdrew his hand.

The people on the deck, looking at their nets pulled up empty, fell into deep thought.

Though they were on a cargo ship, when they reached certain waters, they still tried to catch some fish. They always made a catch in the past, but this time, they didn’t even catch any small fry.

"What’s going on, there isn’t a single fish nearby, it’s so strange!"

"I’ve been at sea for many years and have never encountered such a situation, could this be..."

Until, they found out that within several dozen miles centered around their cargo ship, there was not a single fish.

This bizarre situation made the crew increasingly creeped out.

Plenty of them had already begun to confess their past wrongdoings, while some had even started writing their wills.

Completely unaware that the fish and shrimp were scared off by the resentment emanating from Dragon Spirit, desperately fleeing away.

Yet no one knew that the culprit responsible for this was an unregistered resident squatting underneath their cabin.

Yun Ran had returned to Hai City, and in her current state, she obviously could not return to the Yun Family, so she went straight to the Imperial Cauldron Club.

As soon as she stepped into the protected territory, she felt the aura of the Dragon Vein of the area, still very faint though.

Yun Ran looked at the elder waiting at the entrance; the two were already acquainted.

She didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, "Did you revive the Dragon Vein here?"

The elder’s expression paused: "You can sense it?"

This took Yun Ran aback; such an obvious Dragon Spirit aura, shouldn’t any Dark Master who has joined the sect be able to detect it?

Yun Ran’s eyes were the only things showing, and the elder could not see anything special about her.

"We have tried every method, and so far, you are the only one who has said the Dragon Vein has been revived."

Yun Ran: ...

Great, I’ve become the target again!

At this point, Yun Ran finally remembered that she still had a Symbiotic Contract with the Water Dragon Dragon Spirit. Her Perception was more sensitive than those Xuan Sect bigshots to this place’s Dragon Vein.

Yun Ran touched her head and chuckled awkwardly: "Hehe, maybe I sensed it wrong."

The elder was also a man of the world and kept his insight to himself without pointing it out.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Cauldron Club, Yun Ran did not stay in the room arranged by the elder; instead, she carried simple outdoor equipment and went straight into the forest to the location belonging to the Dragon Vein’s head.

Her injuries this time were quite severe, and relying solely on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures would not be sufficient to heal them.

Those monitoring the surveillance, if they had not been informed of Yun Ran’s condition beforehand,

would have probably been scared out of their wits seeing a person cloaked entirely in white flitting through the cameras in the dead of night.

Yun Ran looked up, finding that the stars tonight were exceptionally bright. Comparing them against the Big Dipper, she chose the most suitable position.

Then she sat down cross-legged to begin meditating and Breathing Control. This area was an excellent feng shui treasure spot.

Perhaps it was because remnants of Dragon Spirit’s essence lingered on Yun Ran, snakes, insects, rodents, and ants all kept their distance by three feet.

This made the Little Papermen acting as her protectors feel they had nothing to contribute.

Until the daybreak began to light up the sky, and the first ray of sunlight shined through the leaves’ gaps onto Yun Ran, she felt a familiar warmth.

The wounds on her body felt slightly itchy and tingling—Yun Ran knew this was the Merit Golden Light repairing the wounds on her body.

After a while, Yun Ran opened her eyes and then removed the bandages from her body. As expected, the serpentine, frightening wounds only left behind faint marks.

However, what surprised Yun Ran the most was that the mark on her arm, previously loathed by the Heavenly Dao and struck by it, had now shrunk to the size of a peanut.

"What’s going on?"

As long as her Life Chart doesn’t change, the antipathy of the Heavenly Dao towards her will not dissipate, and the scar representing the Heavenly Abandoned Fate would remain unchanged.

But now, the scar had almost completely faded.

Yun Ran immediately took out her turtle shell and began Divination.

The first throw, not a single Copper Coin dropped out.

Unconvinced, she continued with the second divination, which turned out to be an empty one as well.

Thinking it over, Yun Ran bit her finger, took out a Jiagu bone covered in patina, dripped her blood on it, and continued with the Divination.

Soon, a new Divination appeared, and Yun Ran’s brows furrowed.

"A gift from the Heavenly Dao?"

Hearing Yun Ran’s murmur, Ginsengfruit felt puzzled; it was well aware that the Heavenly Dao in the world of this book had never been fond of its Host.

If it weren’t for the blessings of the old ancestor, evading the chasing Heavenly Thunder would’ve been impossible.

[Host, could this be a scheme by the Heavenly Dao?]

Yun Ran’s gaze lifted to the sky, which was clear and bright, speculating whether the Heavenly Dao was up to some mischief.

Heavenly Dao: (rolling eyes), always just calculating! When publicly dealing out punishment, you say I’m lacking virtue. Now with clear rewards and penalties, you’re accusing me of scheming. If you dare, take this seat yourself, (ˉ▽￣～) tch~~

If it weren’t for Yun Ran destroying that Immortal Ascension Channel, which was a considerable Merit, just one glance at her miserable Life Chart would be distressing for it.

Yun Ran actually received the intentions of the Heavenly Dao, and she immediately laughed.

"So that’s how it is~"

The Immortal Ascension Channel was not only in need of a country’s Qi Fortune for support but once activated, the light beam was almost akin to a black hole.

Perhaps even the Heavenly Dao would be devoured by that beam of light, no wonder the Heavenly Dao suddenly became so generous.

Ginsengfruit was unaware of the exchange between Yun Ran and the Heavenly Dao. Seeing Yun Ran laugh, it only felt confused.

However, that didn’t matter. What was important was that the Host had returned the Merit it had lent out, happy, hehe~
