Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 255 - 254: Such a Niche Track

(This is awkward, can I say those two extra characters in the last Chapter were unintentionally typed and I forgot to delete them? It wasn’t an intentional break in the sentence.)

----------------------

After a short while, the faces of the powerhouses who had displayed their Divine Skills were looking quite unsightly.

Normally, the accuracy of divining their own futures wouldn’t be very high, but they still had some reliable methods.

But after multiple consecutive divinations, the results all pointed to a sliver of vitality, which was exceedingly faint. How was this any different from a death sentence?

Daoist Qingmu looked at the others, then at Yun Ran.

Yun Ran also stopped what she was doing, with nothing but helplessness written all over her face.

He immediately realized that Yun Ran had figured out the reason and had found where the sliver of vitality was, but the result seemed unsatisfactory to her.

The others weren’t dumb either, their gazes all turned to Yun Ran. However, due to their previous attitude, it was now awkward for them to ask.

Master Jiechen chuckled and took the initiative: "Little friend Yun Ran, what did you divine?"

"This time, we’ve encountered a tricky major trouble. I could only deduce a part of it. What will kill you is your own seven emotions and six desires..."

Someone immediately couldn’t hold back and blurted out, "You just said ’you’? Does this mean excluding you? Could it be that the only way to survive is through you?"

Ginsengfruit sighed: [No wonder they say an old but undead person is akin to a thief. These people, when they should have clear eyesight, they feign blindness. Now when it involves their own safety, they really begin to quibble!]

Daoist Qingmu frowned slightly: "Lao Cai, do not interrupt little friend Yun Ran! Let’s listen to her finish."

Lao Cai felt aggrieved inside but could only endure it. He dared not directly confront Daoist Qingmu. If it were anyone else, he would have already showered them with a torrent of criticism.

Yun Ran, interrupted, did not get angry: "I divined that Lan Jushi will be the first one in trouble. That is to say, he has already been marked and has become the prey of our opponent.

However, this mark is not some sort of evil force. It only endlessly magnifies all kinds of emotions and desires in the human heart.

That’s why none of you have noticed anything unusual about him, and likely even Lan Jushi himself has not noticed the abnormality on him.

This trouble, rather than saying it’s an external force, it would be more accurate to say that your own selves are the real enemies. To conquer the desires in your hearts is not easy."

After Yun Ran’s words fell, everyone in the car fell silent. If Yun Ran had spoken of something else, they might have still doubted her.

"No wonder why, whatever I divine, it’s the Death Divination. Turns out, the enemy is ourselves!"

These people here don’t dare to say they represent the peak of combat strength but can at least claim that forces capable of simultaneously killing all of them are few and far between.

The signature smile that Master Jiechen always wore had also become stern.

"To bewitch people of our caliber, this force is not to be underestimated. We need to plan anew. Let’s cancel today’s plan for starters."

"I agree, no matter what, being cautious is always good."

"By the way, little friend Yun Ran, why is the only chance of survival on you? Could it be that you won’t be targeted or tempted by this force?"

The person who spoke wore a face full of sincerity and desire for knowledge, without a hint of sarcasm, making it difficult for Daoist Qingmu to take sides.

Yun Ran looked at the person who spoke and showed a totally disheartened expression. This opportunity for survival didn’t mean she could win by doing nothing.

"My Qi Fortune was stolen and my Life Chart was swapped. Now I am of the Life of Abandoned by Heaven. Although I have ways to let myself be like a normal person temporarily,

the Life Chart of Heavenly Abandoned still shadows me like a ghost. Simply put, in the presence of that unknown force, you are desirable treats, while I am seen as repulsive dog dung.

Do you really think, with all of you desirable treats in front, it would spare a glance for me, the repulsive dog dung?

It even feels that I am not worthy to enter its sphere of influence. My chance of survival is from being despised and kicked out."

Everyone: ...

Goodness, it’s the first time they realized that a fate akin to repulsive dog dung could one day save a life, truly a very niche track indeed.

Daoist Qingmu now understood why Yun Ran emanated a sense of loss.

Anyone who divined that they would survive because they’re considered as repulsive as dog dung would be speechless too.

Wanting to offer some words of comfort, yet not knowing what to say.

The big shots of the Northwest Branch had already started to instruct the driver to retreat. They need to go back and reformulate their policies.

Besides, Yun Ran’s "dog dung theory" had given them new ideas; yes, they need to study this well.

As for Lan Jushi, he was now surrounded by people in the middle.

"Old Lan, it’s not that we are heartless, but you now carry crucial clues, and we need to keep a closer eye on you."

Lan Jushi: ...

With a myriad of grievances in his heart, yet finding it hard to speak.

But he could only nod stiffly: "Okay."

But he was actually quite nervous inside – he didn’t know when he had been marked.

And he couldn’t help but crack a creepy smile, yikes ~ can’t think about it anymore, the more he thought, the more unsettling it felt.

Yun Ran was also silently sighing; she really felt troubled now. Her Life Chart made her feel like she had swallowed a fly.

Said to be a chance of survival yet it was just being despised and kicked out, truly nauseating for her.

However, wasn’t this too a consequence caused by the wretched Life Chart? Otherwise, how could she have encountered such an absurd and disdainful ’enemy’?

Carrying the Life Chart of Heavenly Abandoned, anything she did would bring unique karmic retribution, either getting hurt or being disgusted.

It looks like when she had dealt with the Yang Family, she had once again accrued blame.

Even though she hadn’t used any methods from the Xuan Sect, the Heavenly Dao was unreasonable, deeming her to be a bad person who had done bad deeds.

Could this be a case of guilt by association? Whatever she did, whether bad or good, it was always her fault in the end.

She came here claiming to be on a business trip, but in fact, it was just to lay low while touring around, which should have been a leisurely and enjoyable task.

Yet misfortune just had to fall squarely on her shoulders, and all these unfortunate fellows also gathered together; what rotten luck.

[Host, I feel something is amiss. Logically, even if you have the Heavenly Abandoned Fate, you still manage to obtain Merit, which itself is paradoxical.

Even if the Heavenly Dao dislikes you, it shouldn’t always treat you like a thorn in its side. Is it possible that you’ve been suffering the consequences on behalf of others all this time?]

No wonder Ginsengfruit would think that way. In its eyes, as an energy-conserving System, everything should be conserved.

If the Host’s Life Chart was already determined, then the Merit Golden Light on the Host should always be able to reduce some Disgust Value.

Hence, the misfortunes that befell the Host should gradually decrease over time. However, for so long, the unfortunate incidents the Host encountered didn’t seem to lessen, which makes no sense.
