Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 257 - 256: Uninvited Nuisance?

Ginsengfruit suddenly lowered his voice: [Host, why do I feel a bit scared? Suddenly hearing this sound amidst the Mist, there must be something going on!]

Yun Ran looked toward the direction of the sound, where the Buddha Beads were emanating faint Heavenly Thunder.

"Right, I haven’t asked you yet, what happened when I was knocked unconscious?"

Ginsengfruit was about to speak but then hesitated, [Huh, weird, why can’t I remember?]

Yun Ran: ...

Even in the Ghost World or when fighting with Dragon Spirit, Ginsengfruit never dropped the ball.

But considering the malfunctioning compass and the disappearance of the Big Dipper, Yun Ran suspected that their foe here was likely targeting her.

"This is not a good sign at all!"

Ginsengfruit felt the same; it’s a System from a High-class World, yet it was being faced with a setback.

However, the sound of firecrackers coming closer and clearer, Yun Ran sighed, accepting her role as an ’uninvited guest’, unable to leave now.

She could only resign herself to follow the direction of the firecrackers.

Soon, she stumbled upon a dazzling sight, the Mist here indeed had some tricks.

[Host, why is there an ancient street here?]

"How would I know!"

Looking at the ground under her feet and the scene before her, it was almost like the streets one would see in ancient tourist towns.

Not far away, many ’people’ were dressed in simple ancient attire, gathered around watching the excitement.

Yun Ran blinked, and then saw clearly that these ’people’ were a mix of real humans and spirits and specters transformed from mountain and wild spirits, freёweɓnovel_com

"One bow to heaven and earth!"

"Second bow to the high hall!"

"Spouse bow to each other!"

...

There was a wedding happening, Yun Ran touched the street of the ancient street, feeling its realism.

"This Illusion really seems quite real."

As she walked forward, Yun Ran finally saw what was happening in the wedding hall; the bride and groom were dressed in red, their faces full of smiles.

And beside her, conveniently was a Wild Rabbit Spirit. Yun Ran wasn’t scared and whispered gossiping, "Are you a relative of this family?"

The Wild Rabbit Spirit turned to look at Yun Ran upon hearing her voice, then turned its head away, blatantly ignoring Yun Ran.

This puzzled Yun Ran a bit. She had already concealed her Xuan Sect aura; logically, this Wild Rabbit Spirit shouldn’t be on guard against her.

But since it ignored her, she couldn’t keep prying, who knew if the seemingly calm Wild Rabbit Spirit might suddenly lash out with a punch.

A cornered rabbit will bite; it’s not an empty saying.

She could only edge closer to a real human: "There are quite a lot of people drinking wedding wine today, huh."

That person also ignored Yun Ran and even shifted away a bit. Although his face did not show any disgusted expressions, his actions expressed his attitude.

Yun Ran: ...

Goodness, when did she become someone everyone found repellent?

[Host, is it possible that they were all ’invited’ here, and you came on your own, so in the eyes of these people or spirits, you are an annoying ghost who came uninvited?]

"Hehe, how could that be!"

At the wedding hall, the master of ceremonies had begun throwing wedding candies, and all the onlookers surged forward as if these candies were some sort of treasure.

Yun Ran’s body reacted faster than her mind, and in the face of such an advantageous opportunity, how could she not act?

By the time she realized what was happening, she already had two snatched wedding candies in her hand.

[Host, your movements are still so agile~]

"I don’t consider that a compliment!"

Yun Ran unwrapped the candy, wondering what exactly they put inside these things in the Illusion, even if they weren’t real.

But when she saw what was inside, her eyes widened in shock.

"Good heavens, it really is something valuable. The wedding candy is made from Snow Toad!"

Yun Ran pinched it again and sniffed it, immediately confirming its authenticity.

"It seems the people and things in this Illusion can be both real and fake."

The bride and groom were not on the list of missing persons Yun Ran had seen earlier, and she didn’t understand the situation well enough to act rashly.

Then, the master of ceremony’s voice came again: "Everyone please take your seats, today we won’t stop until we’re all drunk."

As his voice faded, those people or spirits around began searching for their own designated tables.

Yun Ran followed them and noticed they split into male and female groups.

It seemed prearranged; there was not an extra seat available, and Yun Ran quickly took a seat at a table entirely of women.

A Wild Deer Spirit ended up being left alone. She looked left and right, there were no empty seats, and she suddenly started crying loudly.

"Wuwuwu, there’s no seat for me, I want to join the feast, I want to join the feast!!!"

Yun Ran didn’t feel embarrassed at all, her demeanor as calm as if her bottom was welded to the seat.

Suddenly, a fierce wind, carrying an indescribable menacing aura, blew over from somewhere.

The Wild Deer Spirit, who had been crying bitterly a moment ago, was suddenly sliced into two by this wind.

[Host, do you feel goosebumps?]

Had the wind reached Yun Ran, she felt it would be difficult to dodge it perfectly.

Though it wouldn’t have killed her, it would definitely have left her injured, making Yun Ran even more determined to keep up her act.

The rest of the guests or spirits, on seeing the Wild Deer Spirit split, reacted as if it were normal.

"The troublemaker has been dealt with. It’s a day of joy, everyone please don’t hold back and eat freely!"

Following this voice, a small tree approached their table.

Yun Ran glanced over using her peripheral vision and saw the small tree’s branches acting like human hands, carrying several plates.

These plates were promptly set on the table, and Yun Ran slightly frowned as she looked over them.

At least half of the ’dishes’ on the plates were insects from the Northwest Gobi Beach or grasslands.

Seeing the other guests and spirits at the table starting to pick up the insects to eat, Yun Ran reluctantly reached out her hand.

Watching everyone eating with relish as if it was really delicious, Yun Ran felt for the first time that being picky was a bad habit.

Fortunately, the others completely ignored her, not staring at her directly, easing Yun Ran’s pressure.

Yun Ran had just picked up an insect when a shrill voice pierced her ears.

"Bad news, the bride has been kidnapped!!!"

The others immediately put down their chopsticks, and Yun Ran followed suit.
