The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1095 Only by Being Hesitant to Act Against the Will
Yunran was unaware that she had used a marriage contract, which would make Xie Xuzhi aware of it.

Even if the terms were agreed upon beforehand, it's still very embarrassing to be caught red-handed like this.

After taking a bath, Yunran went to bed happily, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the little paper figure panicked and lifted Yunran's tent.

"Master, something happened!"

Yunran, who was still dreaming, suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright.

She immediately sat up and draped her clothes over herself.

The little paper doll has seen a lot of the world; logically speaking, it shouldn't be so irrational.

"what happened?"

A look of shock appeared on the little paper figure's dark face.

If Yunran weren't the owner of the little paper doll, she really wouldn't be able to discern such an expression on that face.

"Master, Lotus City seems to be locked down by something; sunlight can't get in!"

Each of these words was familiar to Yun Ran, but when put together, they left her feeling completely bewildered.

What do you mean by "sunlight can't get in anymore"?

The little paper figure didn't know how to explain, so it reached out and pulled Yunran.

"Master, you'll understand once you come with me."

Yunran quickly put on her slippers and followed the little paper figure out of the tent.

Then, she saw a scene that left her speechless.

At this moment, the first rays of sunlight have emerged, and under normal circumstances, as long as there are no clouds to obscure the view.

The sun will shine on the earth.

But what's happening right now? Everything else is fine, bathed in sunlight.

But from a distance, the entire Lotus City seemed to be shrouded in shadow, a completely different world from the outside world separated by just a wall.

The little paper figure swallowed hard: "Master, is this the crisis you mentioned before that would wipe out Lotus City?"

Lotus City today is a place where even light can't penetrate; just looking at it gives people a gloomy feeling.

It felt like the entire Lotus City had been dragged into the ghost realm.

No wonder the master had only calculated a sliver of hope for Lotus City, yet his fortunes plummeted, and he almost couldn't even save himself.

If this is the current situation, the little paper doll has a deep understanding of how terrifying the tribulations of the lotus flower are.

Yunran's expression wasn't much better at the moment.

The calculated result is fundamentally different from what we actually see.

Yunran murmured to herself, "Is this the hell on earth that Lvwu spoke of, the hell she once experienced?"

If that's the case, then Yunran can understand Lüwu.

Having gone through so many cycles of reincarnation and witnessed so many shocking tragedies, it's understandable that one would eventually become cold-hearted and callous.

The little paper doll subconsciously moved closer to Yun Ran: "Master, what do we do now? Should we just wait here?"

Logically speaking, as members of Qingfeng Temple, seeing such a scene, they should definitely be at the forefront.

But Yunran's situation was clearly beyond help; if she went there, this last glimmer of hope might be destroyed.

"So many lives at stake... even I have to be careful not to harm the innocent."

at the same time.

In Lotus City, many people get up early to begin their new day. These hardworking people want to make the most of every minute of the morning; they are truly not afraid of hardship when it comes to making a living.

The people who make breakfast get up early, set up their stalls, and wait for dawn to start doing business.

However, after waiting for a long time, the steamed buns and mantou were already steamed and piping hot.

Some familiar customers came early to buy, but the sky was still dark.

The breakfast stall owner, using a lantern as a guide, quickly packed the food and collected the money.

After a long while, he looked curiously at the sky and asked, "Huh, why is it getting light so late today?"

At first, no one realized the seriousness of the problem.

I thought it was just that it was a bit early today.

Many people who come to have breakfast also habitually determine the time by looking at the sky.

The sky was still overcast, and they thought they had plenty of time, so they weren't in a hurry and slowly sat down to eat.

Some people even chatted with other people having breakfast with them.

Even after all the steamed buns and mantou at the breakfast stall had sold out, the sky remained unchanged.

The breakfast stall owner finally realized something was wrong.

He tugged at his wife, who was helping him, and said, "Honey, look at the weather today, isn't it a bit strange?"

"By the time we've sold all this, it should be broad daylight by now. Why is it still so gloomy today?"

Even if these people who run breakfast businesses occasionally misread the time, they wouldn't be this blatantly wrong.

The people having breakfast nearby didn't pay attention at first, until they heard the owners muttering to themselves.

The man took a bite of his steamed bun and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"Huh...right, why isn't it dawn yet?"

This sentence, spoken at a considerable volume, was like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, instantly causing a commotion.

Someone, easily frightened, stammered, "This...this can't be the legendary apocalypse, can it...?"

"Pah, pah, pah! You jinx! If you don't know how to speak properly, just shut up!"

"If you ask me, it's just that you guys are too timid. It's just that we misread the time and left early. There's nothing so mysterious about it!"

……

There are other places that are similar to the breakfast stalls.

Inside the clinic, hurried footsteps could be heard from afar.

The butler, who was still unable to fully get out of bed, changed his expression slightly upon hearing this voice.

During their time at the clinic, they had become very familiar with the situation there and the daily routines of the people there.

It's morning now, and the doctors or apprentices wouldn't make such footsteps.

The Taoist priest in the long robe glanced at the steward.

The butler immediately understood, struggled to get up, and hid under the bed. He was currently out of fighting strength and couldn't cause any trouble.

The Taoist priest in the long robe no longer needed a cane and could walk. He stood warily behind the door.

The curtain was suddenly thrown open, and several familiar figures appeared in front of the Taoist in the long robe.

If he hadn't seen someone familiar, the Taoist in the long robe would have almost attacked directly just now.

The leader was not allowed to greet anyone and looked extremely anxious.

He immediately exclaimed to the Taoist priest in the long robe, "Something terrible has happened! A major disaster has struck Lotus City..."
