Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 47 I’m the One After Your Life! (2 updates)

Gu Yuan immediately slapped his own mouth and hurriedly apologized, "Boss, I was just talking nonsense, am I the kind of person who disregards human life?"

"We’re not in the Capital City now, nor are we in a life-or-death struggle with other families, so don’t keep talking about taking someone down!"

Gu Yuan could only glumly answer, yes, and then hung his head and left.

When Yun Ran stepped out of the ecological zone, for some reason, she looked back at this Dead Dragon Vein as if possessed.

Although she didn’t know why the Imperial Cauldron Club was located here, she had an intuition that its existence was due to this Dead Dragon Vein.

Only, whether it was protection or suppression, that was unknown.

Especially since it involved the Xie Family, it was probably some power struggle among the elite, and she was better off not getting involved.

"Ah, such a good place for cultivation and healing, what a pity."

Ginsengfruit also felt it was a waste; although the Dragon Vein was dead, it was indeed a perfect Feng Shui treasure.

Unfortunately, as the Host currently lacked influence, upon seeing such a treasure, she could only steer clear.

"Ginsengfruit, what’s the background of that Gu Yuan, can you check?"

[Host, please wait, I’ll check right now!]

After a while, Ginsengfruit had found the information.

[Host, he is from the main lineage of the Gu Family, one of Xie Xuzhi’s confidants. However, in the original story, he’s just a background character, not very important.]

"With the current situation, there are obvious deviations from the original story. From now on, the original plot can only serve as a reference and cannot be fully trusted."

Ginsengfruit thought of the male and female leads’ nature and immediately felt the Host’s words were correct.

The original story was written from the perspective of the love and hate entanglements of the male and female leads, with a heavy bias of the protagonist’s halo, and not objective at all towards other characters.

On the way back, Yun Ran wondered if it was because she had picked up the aura of the Dragon Vein on her.

The Heavenly Dao’s aversion towards her had lessened significantly, and the sense of oppression wasn’t as strong anymore.

This made Yun Ran feel even more the loss of such a cultivation treasure, which was a grave setback.

However, sometimes, becoming complacent too soon is not a good thing. For example, now, as Yun Ran was about to return to the hospital, she was bumped into the fountain pool near the hospital.

Who would have thought, this pool no higher than Yun Ran’s calves could make her choke several times before climbing out.

Passersby witnessing this scene were all stunned.

"Young girl, are you okay? How did you end up falling into the water? You should hurry back and change clothes, otherwise you’ll definitely catch a cold."

"Oh, why do you have so many wounds on your arm? Has someone bullied you? Do you need us to call the police for you?"

"The hospital is nearby, you should quickly go there and get checked, look at your eyes, they’re all red. This water isn’t clean; you mustn’t get infected."

...

Listening to the warm concern from the passersby, Yun Ran could only say that she had accidentally twisted her ankle which made her fall into the water, and that’s why she couldn’t get up at first.

Being unlucky was one thing, but to lose face so openly, Yun Ran truly felt a bit nauseated.

After the embarrassing ordeal, Yun Ran returned to her ward in a bedraggled state, washed up, then directly laid on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In a certain villa in Capital City.

A stunning lady looked at the man kneeling before her, fiddling with her newly manicured nails.

But her tone was frighteningly cold: "You say, that little wench isn’t dead!"

The man kneeling on the ground, shaking from fear, his sweat dripping down his bowed head onto the floor.

"Stupid people don’t deserve to live; drag him away and deal with him!"

Despair filled the man’s eyes, yet he didn’t even dare to plead for mercy.

Two burly men, upon hearing the words of the beautiful lady, stepped forward and quickly dragged the limp man away, disappearing into the living room.

But the beautiful lady obviously wasn’t pleased just because she’d dealt with an incompetent underling.

Her gaze carried a trace of hostility, severely tarnishing her demeanor.

After calming herself down for quite a while, she picked up the phone and dialed a number she knew by heart. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"The plan failed, that little wench is still alive, but an imperfect offering shouldn’t continue to exist. Having let her live all these years has been too lenient."

Only the beautiful lady knew what was said on the other end of the line, and the hostility that pervaded her dissipated quite a bit.

"I’ll handle it, rest assured, and I will deal with everyone involved in this matter."

After hanging up, the beautiful lady quickly made several more calls, then stealthily left Capital City with most of her jewelry and ornaments.

She was a pivotal piece in this scheme; with the offering compromised, even if someone protected her, she would likely be skinned alive. She had to hide before those above could find her.

Yun Ran was half-asleep in the middle of the night when the door to her sickroom was pushed open, jolting her awake.

A man dressed in a white coat, but wrapped tightly all over, revealing only his eyes, approached her with a syringe in hand.

Yun Ran flipped over, her foot striking hard into the man’s chest.

The man screamed in agony but quickly got up, attempting to flee. However, he hadn’t expected that Yun Ran had already sealed the door.

"Who are you!"

Knowing he couldn’t escape, the man turned to face Yun Ran, his eyes full of murderous intent, clearly resolved to take her down with him.

A scalpel appeared in the man’s hand, its sharpness suggesting it could slice through skin as easily as tofu.

"I’m here to take your life!"

"Seeking death!"

Just then, Heavenly Dao decided to cause trouble, and as Yun Ran launched a flying kick, she tripped at the critical moment, sending her crashing to the ground.

The scalpel cut through Yun Ran’s arm—she was truly enraged now.

Glaring fiercely at the sky outside the window, she used one hand to block the scalpel and the other, bloodied hand, to swiftly draw an Attack Talisman, infusing it into the man’s body.

A talisman drawn with blood was enormously more effective, and upon being struck by it, the man’s organs were displaced.

He retched, vomiting blood, and it seemed that amidst the blood, one could even spot flecks of flesh.

"Who sent you!"

The man, knowing his mission was a complete failure, ruthlessly slashed himself, his eyes dimming at once.

Yun Ran was fuming, annoyed at the old practice of Death Soldiers.

She tried to search the man’s soul but was shocked to find that his body was an empty shell, his soul had already been scattered by someone.
