Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 1107 - 1103: More Petty Than a Needle’s Point
The sun had set, and Mo Zhi slowly poked her head out from the Jade, naturally hearing the Little Paperman’s blatant schadenfreude.
She couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sympathy for the people of Lotus City.
There’s a saying that goes, "Heaven’s sins can still be lived with, but self-inflicted sins cannot be survived."
All along, the Little Paperman was quite generous, rarely this petty and gloating.
It was clear that Mo Zhi was completely unaware of how thick her filter for the Little Paperman had become at this moment.
Just as Mo Zhi’s entire body emerged from the Jade and she was about to chime in with the Little Paperman,
she saw Yun Ran poke the Little Paperman’s head, "You, your mind is as small as the tip of a needle~"
Mo Zhi immediately closed her mouth. Even though there wasn’t a hint of anger in the voice, it was still a criticism.
So she couldn’t agree with it on the wrong path.
Yun Ran wasn’t aware of Mo Zhi’s little thoughts, sighing, "For Lotus City, I’ve done all I can. The rest is up to them."
The Little Paperman, originally full of resentment, suddenly felt deflated.
It knew that even if those people in Lotus City had disappointed her master, she still hoped they could survive.
Even it hoped at this moment that those people could survive.
After a long while, Yun Ran, overcome with sleepiness, silently returned to the tent.
The Little Paperman, understanding enough, didn’t follow but stood outside the tent, its gaze curiously looking skyward.
The master seemed to love watching the heavens, especially when it came to fortune-telling, where she was exceptionally talented.
But the more it was like this, the Little Paperman could feel its master’s helplessness at many times.
Knowing everything yet unable to change the helplessness dominated by human hearts.
Mo Zhi rarely saw such a low mood on the Little Paperman.
She floated over and sat beside the Little Paperman, "The master has her mind made up. Even if Lotus City can’t escape this calamity, it’s still their fate."
The Little Paperman twisted its little head to look at Mo Zhi, then rolled its eyes.
"You’re a ghost, and you still have the heart to comfort me, a magic artifact!"
Mo Zhi: ...
She really said too much, humph!
The news of the incident in Lotus City, although not spreading as fast as in the age of the internet,
the people of the Xuan Sect still had some of their own ways.
Fuhu City, not very far from Lotus City, was the first to get the news.
Especially since their Xuan Master Association’s vice president was also stuck in Lotus City, the whole association was a bit uneasy.
Dragon Spirit and his group, who had just arrived in Fuhu City, were merely passing by.
The group had just settled down and was ready to sleep when there was an urgent knock at the courtyard door.
Dragon Spirit paid no mind to these affairs, completely immersed in his own world.
Until Xuan Chu came knocking.
"It’s the middle of the night, what do you want from me!"
A few people knew Dragon Spirit wasn’t of real flesh and blood, he didn’t need rest.
The time others spent resting was mostly used by Dragon Spirit to continue his cultivation.
Xuan Chu knew Dragon Spirit’s routine, unless the sky was falling, he wouldn’t disturb him.
When Xuan Chu came in, his face wasn’t pleasant to look at.
"The Xuan Masters in Fuhu City have come for help. They say there’s a big problem in nearby Lotus City.
The whole city’s residents are trapped inside, and it’s completely unclear if those inside are still alive..."
Xuan Chu hadn’t even finished speaking, but Dragon Spirit could already guess what he was going to say.
Dragon Spirit pursed his lips.
It seemed certain people really regarded him and Xuan Chu as part of their ’own,’ to be used and enslaved at will.
Although this was one of their main goals, however, these people took them way too seriously!
"We were just passing through here, and weren’t we urged to hurry before, saying time was of the essence, but now they have the leisure to deal with these trivial matters!"
Dragon Spirit wasn’t some selfless person who wished to sweep away all injustice in the world.
Right now, his mind was full of finishing the task Yun Ran gave him as soon as possible so that they could return home sooner.
This pocket of space without the internet, phones, or many things he found convenient in life.
Especially, there wasn’t any fresh seafood he wanted to eat here, these days were truly tough!
Suddenly, this side task appeared, causing Dragon Spirit’s fiery temper to flare up.
Xuan Chu knew Dragon Spirit would react like this, which was why he came; if it had been someone else to deliver this news,
they’d surely be smashed away by a cup from Dragon Spirit.
Dragon Spirit, frowning, looked at Xuan Chu, "You didn’t agree, did you!"
Xuan Chu nodded, "That’s right, I agreed."
Seeing the color draining from Dragon Spirit’s face, Xuan Chu added another sentence.
"Previously, Yun Ran mentioned to me that her next stop was Lotus City..."
Dragon Spirit shot up, not even waiting for Xuan Chu to finish.
"What did you say! Yun Ran is in Lotus City!!!"
Dragon Spirit had been busy with his cultivation stuff before; although Elder Qing Yangzi had suppressed his aura,
he still felt it was better to be stronger for the tasks ahead.
So, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t even step out the door.
As for Yun Ran still staying in Lotus City, Dragon Spirit had long forgotten about it.
Now hearing Xuan Chu mention it, he finally remembered.
"Yes, Yun Ran did mention it before. She said the third copper mirror was in Lotus City..."
The more he spoke, the softer Dragon Spirit’s voice became, clearly tinged with a little guilty conscience.
If Yun Ran knew he had forgotten about her, even thinking that Lotus City perishing wasn’t a big loss...
Hiss~
Dragon Spirit didn’t dare imagine how Yun Ran, that vengeful and petty person, would treat him.
Straight away, Dragon Spirit raised his fist and said earnestly, "Of course, we’ll help. We’re the strong force of the Xuan Masters, not helping isn’t right!"
Xuan Chu: ...
He could clearly see the double standards written all over Dragon Spirit.
"Alright, then pack up. We’ll soon be heading over there to provide support."
With that, Xuan Chu hurried out to inform the others.
After Xuan Chu’s figure had disappeared, Dragon Spirit finally looked at the Little Paperman not far away, legs crossed.
Glaring at it, "You wretched thing, your master is trapped in Lotus City, why didn’t you tell me!"
It almost led to him being resented by Yun Ran!
