Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 35 Is merit so easy to earn now?

With the physical body of this Three-tailed Demon Fox, it’s possible to locate its escaped Primordial Spirit and the people it kidnapped.

As Yun Ran turned around, a considerable amount of Merit Golden Light directly poured into her body, her face full of astonishment.

Even Ginsengfruit was somewhat shocked: [Host, is it really this easy to earn Merit nowadays?]

"Shouldn’t I be the one asking you? After all, you’re the one who peeled open this book’s world; how would I know!"

The voice of Ginsengfruit immediately became subdued: [Well, I currently lack energy and some function panels can’t be opened. I do not support querying...]

Fortunately for Ginsengfruit, Yun Ran was quite forgiving; otherwise, it really might drive her to desperation.

"Ding"

Yun Ran checked the text message on her phone and saw the freshly deposited 1 million, immediately feeling elated.

"The Special Administration Bureau is really generous, huh? To think they said they were tight on funds. As expected, with a member of the Xie Family in charge, things are different."

Xie Xuzhi, the person mentioned by Yun Ran, was currently listening to subordinates’ reports, the playful look in his eyes almost spilling out.

"Has Daoist Qingmu figured out her origin yet?"

The man shook his head: "Daoist Qingmu said that this student Yun Ran is highly skilled, probably even surpassing him."

Xie Xuzhi immediately laughed: "Heh~ I really didn’t expect that within the jurisdiction of the Special Administration, someone of profound strength could just appear out of nowhere, and we have no idea where she’s from. This is quite interesting."

At the sight of the deputy director’s smile, the man silently mourned for Yun Ran for a few seconds.

Being targeted by their deputy director, even if there are no issues, one would probably still have to lose a few layers of skin.

"Have each sub-bureau thoroughly investigate the situation within their jurisdictions. If such an incident occurs again and is reported by an outsider, they will bear the consequences!"

These words were spoken in a very calm tone, but the man felt a chill run down his spine: "Yes!"

After Yun Ran returned to the main group, she became lazy again, like a soulless puppet, allowing others to direct her.

Just as the group was about to cross the street, a wild cat suddenly sprang out from the green belt, aiming a fierce swipe at Yun Ran’s arm.

The Little Fatty, who was struggling to walk with the help of a cane, instantly turned into an agile Little Fatty, quickly poking forward with the cane in hand.

The wild cat let out a ’meow’ of pain, then hit the ground, and immediately scrambled up, running away with its tail between its legs, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Yun Ran, are you alright?"

Looking at Little Fatty’s flushed and sweaty face, full of anxious inquiry, the anger that had just flared up in Yun Ran was immediately suppressed.

"I’m fine."

The incident happened so quickly that everybody didn’t even have the time to react before it was over.

Nevertheless, it still frightened many people, who hastily steered clear of the green belt, fearing that more wild cats or stray dogs might jump out.

"Damn, that wild cat was terrifying, if that swipe had hit, it would have left a deep scar!"

"I really didn’t expect Zhu Shijia to react so quickly."

"I was just laughing at him, being so young and needing a cane to walk a few steps. It’s fortunate he had it, otherwise, who knows how many people that wild cat could have harmed."

...

The leading teachers at the front were also terrified. Though it was an accident,

if any of these young masters or ladies really got injured by a wild cat right before their eyes, they would all be reprimanded.

They hurriedly went to comfort the frightened students, and the security guards also became extremely vigilant.

The plan to visit popular attractions was suddenly disrupted.

The leading teacher arranged for everyone to take a rest in a coffee shop and then immediately went to handle the subsequent matters.

[Host, that cat just now came specifically for you!]

Yun Ran, of course, knew this, which was why she was so infuriated.

But the stray cat had not developed spiritual wisdom, yet it targeted her. For a moment, she suspected it was the doing of the Three-tailed Demon Fox.

However, Yun Ran quickly dismissed this suspicion.

Because she received a call from the Yun Family, demanding that she return home immediately, tonight without fail.

Otherwise, they would exercise their guardianship rights to forcefully bring her back.

Previously, the Yun Family had maintained a facade of decency by finding an excuse for the school to revoke her study tour eligibility.

Now, they were blatantly disrespecting her as a person.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Ran’s expression looked ugly; it had been a long time since anyone had provoked her this much.

It seemed the male and female protagonists wouldn’t stop until they had completely exhausted her usefulness as a tool.

[Host, your Qi Fortune has been nearly depleted, and you cannot confront the protagonists directly, as it will lead to bigger troubles. That stray cat’s charge was a warning.

If your body was still in its original state, such a warning would likely result in a punishment of broken legs or arms.]

"I know!"

Although Ginsengfruit was advising Yun Ran not to confront the protagonists at this time, seeing the Host accepting it so calmly made it somewhat uncomfortable.

It also felt regretful that the only things in its weapon arsenal were of a destructive caliber; otherwise, it would have given that Dian Gong and Dian Po a lesson!

Yun Ran told Song Qi that she needed to go home and asked him to arrange for her transportation back. Song Qi was momentarily stunned but then nodded and made arrangements.

However, his mind was filled with assorted conjectures, concluding that being a wealthy family’s tagalong was not easy, which explained Yun Ran’s previously poor reputation.

When boarding the car back to Hai City, Little Fatty and Qu Ziwei were somewhat reluctant to part, as they had now developed a friendship akin to comrades-in-arms.

"Once the study tour is over, I’ll invite you to my house to play."

"Here are cards for my family’s restaurant and club; you can enjoy free food and drinks, please don’t be shy with me."

...

By evening, Yun Ran returned to the Yun Family’s villa, where the main building was brightly lit.

As soon as she stepped through the front gate, a bunch of people inside all looked her way simultaneously.

It was clear they were waiting for her, and the atmosphere had the sense of a trial by three judiciaries.

Yun Ran’s mood had calmed by this point, and she walked in composedly.

Yun Wan, who had always been at odds with Yun Ran, had a face full of schadenfreude: "You still have the nerve to come back!"

The Yun Family elders, hearing Yun Wan’s words, did not seem to intend to scold her.

This was once again using Yun Wan as a mouthpiece, branding her with a crime in advance.

It was a reprimand from them while not exposing the elders’ harshness; to outsiders, it was merely a childish squabble.

Wasn’t the original’s poor reputation caused by these subtle oppressions and betrayal stabs from her own mother?
