Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 260 - 259: Ghost King’s Advancement (2 Updates)

Master Jiechen took one look and realized that the Ghost King’s belly had been torn open? His scalp tingled at the thought. How immense must the Yin Sha Qi be?

Yun Ran’s brows also furrowed slightly; the Yin Sha Qi here was much more abundant than she had imagined.

It was almost on par with the mass graves left behind by those ancient battlefields, no wonder it nearly overwhelmed Master Jiechen.

"The Ghost King is about to advance in rank. The master of this illusion is really generous. If it were a common Evil Ghost, it would definitely burst and be blown to smithereens."

During the Female Ghost King’s advancement, a massive wave of Yin Sha Qi surged over. Even people from Xuan Sect couldn’t withstand it.

Yun Ran quickly took out her Little Paperman; although they were affected in the illusion and not good for fighting, they could still devour Yin Sha Qi.

"Go, don’t let the Yin Sha Qi breach the Ghost King’s defenses!"

The Little Paperman flew out immediately. Created by Yun Ran using Qingfeng Temple’s secret technique, they were natural nemesis to Yin Sha Qi.

Then Yun Ran took out the last Heavenly Thunder Pearl and threw it into the air above her head. It began spinning wildly, continuously releasing stored Heavenly Thunder to replenish the energy of the Little Paperman engaged in the forefront.

Yun Ran handed over Master Jiechen’s Buddha Beads back to him: "These are your Buddha Beads. Before the Ghost King successfully advances, we have to fend for ourselves."

The Buddha Beads, also refined by Heavenly Thunder, were the bane of Yin Sha Qi.

Master Jiechen looked at the Ghost King, whose body was already riddled with countless splits, and took the Buddha Beads from Yun Ran.

"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely hold on!"

With a magic artifact in hand, Master Jiechen had far better means at his disposal compared to his previously pathetic state.

Yun Ran had to not only protect herself but also keep an eye on Zhonglisu, fearing that if she was not careful, he would be bitten by the Yin Sha Qi.

The Female Ghost King felt like she was about to burst; if it weren’t for her knowledge from her time as a Ghost Trader in the Ghost World about advancing to a Ghost General, she would have likely perished here.

Now, with the help of the Master and the Little Paperman as her protectors, the Female Ghost King began to focus solely on her advancement.

With a "bang!"

The green layer that had enveloped the Female Ghost King shattered completely, replaced by a dark green hue.

Her initial ghostly figure, which was the size of an average person, had swelled several times over. Now floating beside Yun Ran and the others, she resembled a giant.

The moment the Female Ghost King opened her eyes, a large mark appeared on her forehead—it was the mark of becoming a Ghost General.

Seeing the Little Paperman whose bodies had also grown more than twice their size, the Female Ghost King, oh no, it was the Ghost General now, glared sharply.

The Yin Sha Qi was forcibly sucked toward her vicinity.

She didn’t need to open her mouth anymore; the Yin Sha Qi began frantically flooding into her body.

Master Jiechen watched the giant-like Ghost General with a look of shock in his eyes.

Especially the pressure emanating from her body made him feel an impulse to submit.

The barren land that had just begun to show a hint of green was rapidly transforming into a lush grassland visible to the naked eye.

Only when not a trace of Yin Sha Qi was left did the Ghost General’s body slowly shrink down, dressed in a black cloak.

So it turns out that she forcibly refined the Yin Sha Qi into a cape, which could also be considered her weapon.

Yun Ran: ...

[Host, I feel like you’re making a wedding dress for someone else. You’re not gaining anything yourself and still have to laboriously fish people out.]

The previous Female Ghost King was just a shadow, cowering when facing Yun Ran’s anger or dangerous situations.

But now, after leveling up, that timidness on her seems to have disappeared.

Master Jiechen, watching the Ghost General slowly approaching Yun Ran, had his heart in his throat; the awe was too intense.

The Ghost General stopped two meters away and bowed slightly to Yun Ran.

"Thank you, Master, for assisting me in my promotion. I am now a Ghost General and finally remember who I am. I will take my leave now, begging the Master for mercy~"

Although Master Jiechen did not understand why this Ghost General, who could easily crush them, was so respectful before Yun Ran,

his heart finally felt a bit relieved; as long as the Ghost General was under Yun Ran’s control, that would be fine. Otherwise, it would be like driving away a tiger only to welcome a wolf.

"Do you seek revenge? I won’t stop you, but if you’re controlled by the other party again, you should know, a Ghost General’s and Ghost King’s destructive powers are entirely different.

When you were the Ghost King, you hadn’t even managed to carry out your malice before I captured you, which is why I have tolerated you, and even sent you back to the Ghost World.

Next time, you may not be so lucky. If we meet again and you’ve committed evil deeds or stand against me, I won’t hold back!"

The Ghost General, initially brimming with confidence thinking she could leave with ease, deflated like a punctured balloon upon hearing Yun Ran’s words.

Anyone else saying such things, she would definitely believe to be bragging, but not Yun Ran who stood before her; she dared not take the bet.

Because she knew, Yun Ran really would take action. Even if she couldn’t be eliminated on the spot, the gates to the Ghost World would be opened.

At that time, she’d surely be dragged into the Extreme Domain for punishment, with no chance of amnesty for eternity.

Just the thought of this consequence made the Ghost General quiver, her voice appeasing, "Master, I won’t leave. I love following the Master to eradicate evil~"

Master Jiechen: ...

He thought it was a threat, but it turned out to be a paper tiger.

Then he looked at Yun Ran again. Being human, yet even a Ghost General is afraid of her; it seems that Yun Ran’s sect is even more powerful than he imagined.

Yun Ran glanced at the Sealing Pearl in her hand. While it was suitable for a Ghost King, now that she is promoted to a Ghost General, the pearl had become useless.

"I no longer have a place to accommodate you; you’d better return to the Ghost World sooner rather than later!"

A mere Evil Ghost could greatly impact the place where humans reside. When she held the Sealing Pearl, the existence of the Ghost King did not affect others.

Now that she has become a Ghost General, staying by her side would be deadly. She doesn’t want to be caught harboring a Ghost General that harms others.

"Master..."

"This is the Human World after all, not a place where you should be."

The Ghost General could only sulk in silence, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

In other places, those of mere Evil Ghost status live more freely than she does.

Only she has to work, be controlled, and cannot even temper her temper; she really has lost face as a Ghost General.
