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

Chapter 1100 'A Good Girl Among the Twenty-Four Virtuous Women' (2 Updates)
Meanwhile, outside Lotus City, the sun hung high in the sky.

Outside the city, many people who wanted to enter stood somewhat bewildered at the location that should have been the city gate entrance.

They couldn't see the inescapable gloom that shrouded Lotus City, nor could they see that even sunlight couldn't penetrate it.

However, they could sense that something was wrong with the entire Lotus City.

The sun is already high in the sky, but the city gate, which should be bustling with people, is not only closed, but also completely devoid of any human presence.

It's as if this city was a ruin from the very beginning.

"What's going on? Why aren't we allowed into the city today? And no one has come out to open the gate!"

"I have to go to work today. If the shopkeeper doesn't see this, he'll be furious!"

"My fish, they're all going to die here..."

……

At the city gate, many people were angrily cursing and swearing.

Some smarter people, upon seeing this situation, have a vague feeling that something is not right.

Although I don't know exactly what happened, I have a feeling that this place is dangerous and I can't stay here for too long.

Especially when they saw more and more people gathering at the city gate, Lotus City remained completely silent.

Those who were even slightly smarter immediately turned around and left, afraid that if they were too slow, they wouldn't be able to leave.

There are also some people who are as stubborn as oxen.

The more the people inside Lotus City refused to come out and open the gate, the angrier they became, wishing they could smash down the city gate itself.

The little paper figure stood not far away, watching intently.

I'm afraid that thing inside Lotus City will find a chance to escape and wreak havoc on the surrounding area.

The little paper figure waited and waited, until noon arrived.

It had to go back to cook lunch for its owner, and in a flash it disappeared.

"Master, I'm back. The situation at the city gate is pretty much as you guessed before."

Some people, seeing the situation was turning against them, immediately left; others, however, threw tantrums and acted as if they wanted to tear the city gate down.

As the little paper figure spoke, it prepared pre-made dishes for Yunran.

Unfortunately, its culinary skills are limited; it can't guarantee the taste of other dishes.

Pre-cooked meals are different; you don't need to add any seasonings or anything, you just need to prepare the food.

Yunran sat in the rocking chair, picked up a cup of tea from the side, and leisurely sipped it.

Before long, the little paper figure brought the prepared food to Yunran.

The little paper figure didn't need to eat; it sat obediently to the side, looking very well-behaved.

When Yunran's gaze fell on a particular dish, the little paper doll immediately stepped forward to serve it.

She looks exactly like those little maids who served dishes in ancient times.

After Yunran had eaten and drunk her fill, the little paper doll quickly cleaned up all the things.

Then, she came over and massaged Yunran's shoulders and back, truly a 'filial daughter'.

"Master, don't we really want to find a way to warn those people who are lingering nearby and refusing to leave?"

It wasn't that the little paper doll was a saint, worried about those people's lives, but rather that she felt they were genuinely in the way.

The master made a huge sacrifice for Lotus City.

If these 'bad apples' ruin Lotus City's self-rescue efforts, it will be a huge loss.

"No need. Those guys sealed underground, although for some unknown reason, broke through all the seals. However, I used those talismans to contain them again. Now, their strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and they can only cause trouble within Lotus City."

"Want to cross the city gates? Ha, you'd better see if this abbot will allow it!"

Those who know Yun Ran well know that if you really offend her, she is very petty and will hold a grudge.

If it was just something done casually, it's not a big deal if it gets ruined.

But Yunran was struck by lightning, killed by plot devices, and even suffered a sudden drop in luck, almost causing her to die from bad luck.

These are all sunk costs.

Although it's often said that sunk costs should be avoided in major decisions, they can actually amplify a person's petty-mindedness to an extreme.

Therefore, Yunran had already done a lot of work around the entire outer perimeter of Lotus City.

If that sealed creature tries to cross the line, she won't hesitate to be ruthless.

Seeing Yun Ran's angry expression, the little paper doll also got angry.

He was already cursing the sealed-off guy to the bone in his mind.

That damned bastard, I hope it doesn't fall into its hands, or it will teach that bastard a lesson in the power of thunder!
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, and after uttering a few harsh words, Yunran felt completely refreshed.

At this moment, drowsiness slowly crept into Yunran's mind.

"I'm going to take a nap. You keep an eye on things over there."

The little paper man nodded.

Once outside the tent, the little paper figure looked at the jade pendant hanging on the tent and poked it.

"Mo Zhi, keep a close eye on your surroundings!"

Mo Zhi, determined to be the best substitute lackey, was overjoyed; it was time for her to show her loyalty again.

Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll handle it perfectly!

The little paper figure then left with peace of mind, and went to keep an eye on the situation at each of the city gates of Lotus City.

Only it can do this job, after all, under such a blazing sun, the city gates are still quite far apart.

Only a tiny paper doll, unafraid of the sun and incredibly fast, can keep a constant eye on all the city gates.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the sun was about to set, those who had been making a ruckus at the city gate all day were starving and finally had no energy left to continue.

The little paper doll felt tired of watching; these people really knew how to cause trouble.

"Damn it, what are those people in Lotus City doing? They haven't opened the gate all day. Don't they know how to cause trouble?"

……

If the people inside the city had joined in the commotion, they wouldn't have spent the whole day outside the city like fools.

Many people are filled with resentment.

At first, they just wanted to throw a tantrum, but later they found themselves in a difficult position, feeling that it would be very embarrassing to leave in such a disgraceful manner.

Now, they no longer feel ashamed, but rather somewhat vulnerable.

They made a scene all day, but not only did they get no results, they didn't even receive a word of comfort.

This made many people feel that they were as ridiculous as clowns, exhausted and hungry.

Perhaps only by shouting curses at this moment can they salvage some face.

In reality, nobody cared about what was happening here, and no one even watched their breakdown.

This only makes them seem even more ridiculous.
