Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 978 - 974: Does This Look Familiar?

The Dragon Spirit panted heavily and sat down on the ground, not caring if it was dirty.

This was the first time he felt so exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained away.

He couldn’t help but wonder, "What kind of monster is inside this jar?"

Xuan Chu looked at the jar, the dirt on it had been washed away by the melted ice water, revealing the patterns on the surface.

The Book Collection Tower in Heavenly Dao Village had records of many Forbidden Techniques, and before he left the village, he mostly stayed in the tower.

The patterns on the jar felt very familiar to Xuan Chu.

"The patterns on this jar seem a bit like those recorded in a Forbidden Book I once read, but the records were scarce, with only a part of the patterns."

Xuan Chu was also somewhat confused at the moment. However, even if he couldn’t figure out what it was for the time being, he didn’t think about removing the lid of the jar.

The Little Paperman circled around the jar, and as it looked at it, it found the thing increasingly familiar.

After thinking for a moment, the Little Paperman looked towards Mo Zhi.

"Sister Mo Zhi, come here and see if this looks a bit like those small jars we faced off against Rong Gu before?"

Back then, Mo Zhi was still the Ghost King, and those jars were filled with Xuan Sect people who were killed by Rong Gu.

The master had to open the Ghost Gate with great effort, and in the end, used Merit Golden Light to give those people a chance to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Mo Zhi didn’t initially remember, but hearing the Little Paperman’s words...

...that memory played in her mind like a movie.

The jar back then was small, about the size of jars used for storing things at home.

But the jar in front of her now was taller than a person, almost the size of a large drum for brewing wine.

The jars manipulated by Rong Gu in her memory bore no resemblance to this massive jar.

However, when comparing these two completely different jars, it seemed there was a special connection between them.

"Kind of similar. I remember the monster in Rong Gu’s jar was fierce, capable of swallowing a Ghost King whole!"

Mo Zhi, although timid, had an accurate instinct; if she could handle it, she’d not yield an inch, but if not, she’d back down quicker than anyone.

She genuinely felt she was about to be eaten back then.

If it weren’t for the master opening the Ghost World’s gate, those present would probably have been doomed.

Xuan Chu, hearing the conversation between the Little Paperman and Mo Zhi, which involved Rong Gu, got instantly interested.

"Tell me in detail!"

Although unsure of its use, the Little Paperman carefully recounted the situation back then.

"The master, to destroy those specially nurtured monsters, even summoned Heavenly Thunder. Many from the Xuan Sect got the chance to temper their magic artifacts because of it!"

The Little Paperman’s body at that time was also tempered in the process.

Xuan Chu’s expression briefly froze, remembering that Rong Gu had a Forbidden Book that was missing from Heavenly Dao Village.

"Could this be some kind of Forbidden Technique as well? The Heavenly Dao Village has a long history, and the records might also apply to this world."

After all, this world wasn’t naturally born but was a space created due to a Heavenly Book being torn apart by the Heavenly Dao.

The Little Paperman, upon hearing it was another Forbidden Technique, thought those hidden evil cultivators were really annoying.

Why couldn’t they cultivate diligently like their master, progressing step by step!

They insisted on doing all these messy things.

If shortcuts were truly that effective, why were most who achieved immortality those who took the righteous path?

At that moment, the Little Paperman couldn’t understand how the evil cultivators thought; the great sacrifices made might not even succeed.

Isn’t this a waste of time, a waste of life?

Luckily, the Little Paperman didn’t say this out loud nor let those ’hard-working’ evil cultivators hear it.

If they did, they would’ve surely said, "If the righteous path could reach the pinnacle of life, they wouldn’t think of taking shortcuts; not everyone can compare to a talent like Yun Ran!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

After a while, the Dragon Spirit finally felt somewhat recovered from the earlier sensation of being drained.

"Instead of guessing here, why don’t you let Yun Ran take a look? Maybe she knows what these things are."

Yun Ran and Qingfeng Temple were different from other overly rigid Xuan Sect Righteous Path followers; they cared more about the results than the methods and process.

Therefore, Yun Ran knew a lot about many Forbidden Techniques or Evil Techniques that others in the Xuan Sect Righteous Path wouldn’t even touch.

Xuan Chu thought for a moment, and indeed, now he had long abandoned the previous oppositional stance towards Yun Ran.

"I’ll reopen the Water Curtain so she can take a look!"

Saying so, Xuan Chu took out another talisman. As the talisman paper burned, the Water Curtain appeared.

Yun Ran was already lying in bed, sleeping soundly.

Sensing the presence of talisman paper, the Little Paperman on the window gently shook Yun Ran awake.

It thoughtfully brought Yun Ran a blanket.

"Master, it seems they found something significant!"

Yun Ran sat up, and slowly, the Water Curtain on her side began to display an image.

"Did they find something significant?"

If they didn’t, Xuan Chu and the others wouldn’t be looking for her so late.

Xuan Chu nodded, "Look at this jar. Does it look familiar?"

He then stepped aside, fully revealing the jar.

The monster inside the jar had become listless, no longer howling or roaring.

But in order to let Yun Ran get a clearer understanding, Xuan Chu directly threw an explosive charm onto the jar.

Suddenly, weak roars filled with the sounds of many life forms could be heard.

Yun Ran’s brow furrowed, immediately reminded of the jar Rong Gu used against them.

The only difference was that Rong Gu’s jars were more numerous and smaller than the one here.

"This seems like a Forbidden Technique Rong Gu once used. The monsters inside those jars were nurtured with many life forms’ souls, like raising Gu..."

Even though a long time had passed, Yun Ran could still recall the power of those monsters back then.

It was only because Rong Gu hadn’t raised those monsters long enough, they weren’t fully nurtured, which gave her the chance to break them.
