Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 105 - 104 Dragon Vein’s Gift (2 more updates)

In this pool, there are no fish either, making the Little Papermen’s pathfinding seem a bit wasteful.

She finally swam to the very bottom edge, but the Bottom of the Pool was almost funnel-shaped, and a bit further forward, she couldn’t see the center of the bottom at all.

Yun Ran gestured towards the Little Papermen, signaling two of them to continue swimming towards the center of the bottom; she wanted to see what was down there.

"Huff~"

Another Dragon Breath was heard, but this time, it was clearer than before.

Yun Ran wasn’t sure if it was her illusion, but the Dragon Breath sounded somewhat joyful to her ears.

Yun Ran was unclear how deep underwater she was at this point, but it was too dark here to see anything; she could only rely on her senses.

A sudden fluctuation of the water current came through; had she not been in it, she probably wouldn’t have felt such fluctuations.

Now Yun Ran was sure, this Dragon Vein was feigning death!

Feeling the wounds on her body heal quickly, Yun Ran wasn’t happy, as the gifts from the Dragon Vein were not easy to obtain.

Soon, the Little Papermen swam back up to her; their thoughts connected with Yun Ran’s, they naturally communicated everything they ’saw’ to Yun Ran.

"Are you saying that there are three Ancient Blades stuck in the Bottom of the Pool?"

The Little Papermen nodded hastily, not only were there blades, but the blades were quite sinister; even they dared not approach them, and the blades seemed to absorb vitality.

Luckily, they were just Little Papermen, otherwise, they would probably be trapped at the Bottom of the Pool unable to come up; around those three blades, there were quite a few skeletons, some human, some of beasts.

It looked like there was some kind of human sacrifice Array at the Bottom of the Pool, any Life that fell into this pool would not survive.

Yun Ran could survive because her own strength was considerable, and she was not from this world, able to find some loopholes. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Also, being a person of the Life of Abandoned by Heaven, she was likely to be rejected even by the human sacrifice.

The Dragon Breath and fluctuations she felt were probably the Dragon Vein’s dying struggle, or rather, its cry for help before death.

The person who could suppress the Dragon Vein and exhaust its vitality was definitely no less skilled than her master, Yun Ran hesitated whether to help.

Although these two visits to the Dragon Heart Pond seemed to show that the Dragon Vein was quite friendly towards her, even willing to release some of its remaining Dragon Energy to heal her, Yun Ran was also afraid of attracting some major trouble.

Xuanmen people, although they often have more ’freedom’ than ordinary people, also bear much heavier forces of rules than ordinary people.

They also face many more restrictions; otherwise, the world would be in chaos.

Yun Ran thought about it and decided to still inform Xie Xuzhi about the situation under the Dragon Heart Pond; professional matters should be left to professionals, and she just needed to play her part well.

By the time Yun Ran swam up, it was half an hour later, and several people were already standing by the Dragon Heart Pond, staring fixedly at the surface of the pool.

They hadn’t seen Yun Ran come up for air at all, having waited so long, they were somewhat regretful.

They thought that Yun Ran probably ended up like those before her, bones nowhere to be found.

"Puff~"

Yun Ran surfaced, startling those who thought she was already done for.

But they didn’t know, them standing in a row watching there, also gave Yun Ran quite a fright.

"What are you people?"

Crowd: ...

Well, they were worried about the young girl drowning, but instead, the girl comes asking who they are. This feeling, it’s quite hard to describe.

However, the leader still answered Yun Ran’s question, "We are the security team for the ecological zone. We saw you fall into the water through the surveillance, so we came to check on you."

Yun Ran didn’t doubt these words; she would be surprised if there weren’t any surveillance here.

Just then, a bird flew over the pond and suddenly, as if it had lost its mind, directly folded its wings and dove straight into the pond.

It didn’t even struggle a bit and sank directly below the water, silencing those who were about to ask Yun Ran what was going on under the water.

They had seen Yun Ran smoothly swim to the surface and thought that the weird temperament of the pond had changed, but it seems that it was still the same as ever.

Perhaps they were accustomed to it, and found Yun Ran’s situation even more unusual.

Yun Ran climbed up to the bank, and someone immediately handed her a towel and a dry bath towel.

"The temperature in the ecological zone is a bit lower than outside, wrap yourself quickly."

Yun Ran was not fussy, the water temperature didn’t affect her much, but being damp was uncomfortable.

She glanced at the Imperial Cauldron Club not far away, this time, Yun Ran decided not to be as impulsive as last time and climbed up from this side.

Finally, she obediently followed the "security" along the Righteous Path.

Yun Ran headed towards the Imperial Cauldron Club, and these security people were not surprised. After escorting her to the entrance, they swiftly and neatly left the area.

This time, it was not Gu Yuan who came to meet Yun Ran, but an ordinary-looking elderly man.

His aura was very faint, he seemed like someone who would be unconsciously ignored if standing in a crowd, his presence extremely low.

Such people, either they are indeed ordinary people, or they are someone capable of concealing their aura at will.

Yun Ran felt that this elderly man belonged to the latter. After all, this is the Imperial Cauldron Club. How could someone who appears here be ordinary?

Just like herself, although it might sound a bit self-praising, Yun Ran believed this was the truth.

Xie Xuzhi already knew about the "good deed" Yun Ran had done, having swum in the Dragon Heart Pond for half an hour and still being able to jump around energetically.

Nowadays, Yun Ran had probably become a celebrity throughout the ecological zone.

Looking at documents sent from various places, Xie Xuzhi just raised his eyes and looked at Yun Ran, "You came to see me without even changing your clothes. Did you find something important?"

Having gotten slightly familiar with Xie Xuzhi now, Yun Ran knew he was quite generous and wasn’t so restrained anymore.

She sat in front of Xie Xuzhi, picked up a teacup from the side, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, "This is the taste of money," which immediately made her feel more at ease.

"You really do live up to being the Deputy Director of the Special Administration Bureau, your sharpness is unmatched. Guess what I found at the bottom of the Dragon Heart Pond?"

Although Xie Xuzhi was a bit curious, he wasn’t overly so.

After all, he had almost gone through all the archive documents of the Special Administration Bureau; he had seen many surprising things and now remained unflustered by anything.

"Let’s hear it!"

Yun Ran: ...

Such an uninteresting person, definitely not a good partner for gossiping.

"I found an Array for human sacrifice down there~"
