Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1016 - 1012

Yun Ran’s eyes lit up immediately; if she were an anime character, they would definitely be sparkling with little stars.

"So this is your true form. It’s way too cute, I just want to give you a squeeze. You’re nothing like those alien creatures on TV."

Ginsengfruit looked at Yun Ran, who was clearly excited, then glanced at his own tiny form.

Suddenly, a wave of embarrassment washed over him.

Thankfully, only Yun Ran and he had seen this form; if others saw it, Ginsengfruit felt he wouldn’t be able to face anyone.

The Little Paperman also wanted to come over to see what the boss’s true form looked like.

But Ginsengfruit pushed it away with one big hand, covering its head.

"Seeing too much will only harm you!"

Little Paperman: ...

It felt like the boss was just making excuses, plus, the boss had seen its true form. Why couldn’t it see the boss’s form? It wasn’t fair!

The Little Paperman tried to dodge around Ginsengfruit’s big hand; with its speed, it should have been able to catch a glimpse.

But Ginsengfruit, being strong enough to keep ten Little Papermen in check and willing to submit, could naturally predict what the Little Paperman was planning.

It immediately sidestepped, avoiding the area illuminated by the copper mirror.

The Little Paperman managed to secure a fleeting opportunity to look but, unfortunately, Ginsengfruit’s move thwarted it completely.

All it saw was nothing.

Ginsengfruit saw the aunt-like grin reappear on Yun Ran’s face, which made him shiver with unease.

Oh dear, he couldn’t imagine how creepy her gaze would be if the host ever got married and had kids.

He immediately turned away, frightened by Yun Ran’s expression.

Yun Ran was unaware; she just saw her Little Paperman being adorable and Ginsengfruit’s cute and soft appearance.

Her increasingly ’weird’ gaze scared Ginsengfruit off.

At this moment, Ginsengfruit was incredibly thankful his true form wasn’t some cute fluffy creature from the internet; otherwise, he really suspected Yun Ran would make him revert to his true form to cuddle.

Watching those pet bloggers squeeze and hug their pets used to be something he didn’t understand.

Now, thinking about those actions being applied to him, he’d rather be outside battling evildoers.

As Yun Ran watched Ginsengfruit leave, she felt a little disappointed and put the copper mirror away.

Just as Yun Ran was about to return to her room, the long-ignored Divine Cauldron Spirit finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

But considering its status and the presence of the Divine Hall members, it could only communicate with Yun Ran telepathically.

"Hey, you, you’re back. Aren’t you going to ask about me?"

Hearing the voice, Yun Ran turned to look at the Divine Cauldron.

The previously damaged cauldron now had all four corners restored, yet its surface remained pitch black.

Looking at it like this was truly comical.

Yun Ran couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

"I didn’t expect the Yin Sha Qi tainting you to be this troublesome; this Purification Array has been running for so long and it only purified your four corners."

Just as the Divine Cauldron Spirit was about to retort to Yun Ran,

Yun Ran cut in ahead, "Do you want to see what you look like now?"

Without even considering getting the Divine Cauldron Spirit’s consent, Yun Ran directly pointed the copper mirror she had just put away at it.

"Look, I’m always a helpful person. When you’re in need, I’ll definitely help you out."

In the Purification Array, the Divine Cauldron Spirit was completely unaware of its current appearance.

But the instant it saw itself, the entire cauldron reacted poorly.

It always maintained a high-and-mighty attitude in front of everyone because, after all, it was the Divine Cauldron, inherently superior.

Even when shrouded in dust, it would get angry but never felt the need to act humble.

But upon seeing its ugly form now, the previously arrogant Divine Cauldron Spirit was mentally crushed.

"How could this ugly thing possibly be me!!!"

Yun Ran: ...

She only wanted to give this high-spirited spirit a small lesson but never expected it to be so sensitive about appearance.

The Divine Cauldron Spirit, who absolutely couldn’t accept its own ugliness, broke into howls; it could deal with hardship and dust, but absolutely not being so ugly!

The nearly Essence Qi-depleted members of the Divine Hall were initially far away, unaware of what Yun Ran was doing.

But now, hearing the Divine Cauldron’s continual whining like a brat, they immediately perked up and nervously looked this way.

"What happened?"

"Could there be a problem in the purification process?"

...

This made Yun Ran even more awkward; she hadn’t expected that just letting the Divine Cauldron Spirit see itself would cause such a fuss.

Ginsengfruit saw the array shake slightly due to the Divine Cauldron Spirit’s sudden noncooperation.

He looked at Yun Ran, the one who started it all, with a headache.

He never knew the host had such provoking behavior, like those who love teasing animals.

Yun Ran also felt a bit wronged now; how could she know the Divine Cauldron Spirit would be so petty?

It’s just a little ugliness, why such a fuss like a spoiled child who doesn’t understand the need for calm during purification!

Fortunately, that was Yun Ran’s inner monologue.

If Ginsengfruit, who had been busy all day, heard that, he’d definitely remark: you’re just two peas in a pod!

Seeing the Purification Array’s instability, Yun Ran put the copper mirror away and formed seals with her hands.

Quickly stabilizing the array, she injected stronger purification power.

But she continued talking, "I told you that’s enough. My people saved you, took you in, and are helping purify the Yin Sha Qi on you.

We’re also helping you save the remaining members of Divine Cauldron, and I just teased you a little, and you’re acting out like this. Believe me, I could just throw you out!"

The Divine Cauldron Spirit, already mentally collapsed over its ugliness, quickly settled upon hearing Yun Ran say she’d throw it out.

Yun Ran felt pleased that the Divine Cauldron Spirit could be threatened into compliance.

Still, after a slap, a sweet gesture is necessary; after all, it’s the only one who knows about the Heavenly Book and hasn’t faced issues for revealing related info.

"But, don’t worry, you’ll soon be rid of the Yin Sha Qi with me around, and this ugly, awkward phase will be over soon."
