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

Chapter 1206 I still fell for it by accident (2 updates)
Elder Kang and his group were, after all, the main fighting force of Moonflower City, and their attacks were quite powerful.

They clearly had the upper hand against the tentacles that had obviously been defeated.

The three tentacles, which were on the verge of being severed, could only sheepishly retract back underneath.

When we left, the rattling sound of the chains was completely gone.

Without the added element of sound, the fear emanating from these tentacles was naturally greatly diminished.

Old Kang hid his trembling hands behind his back, and naturally no one noticed that his hands were actually injured.

"These tentacles have been driven back. Now, all we need to do is repair the road surface."

Ginseng Fruit instantly understood the meaning of these words.

"All expenses and supplies will be covered by me."

As he spoke, Ginseng Fruit took out a large stack of high-grade talismans: "These are my deposit."

If there were so many high-level runes elsewhere, the market might not be able to absorb them all, but here in Moonflower City...

Not only were there wealthy merchants who frequented the place, but there were also many Xuan Masters who were already very wealthy. For them, these high-level talismans were life-saving items.

As long as there's stock, there will be plenty of people who want to buy it.

Old Kang was about to reach out and take it, but the scholarly-looking man standing next to the city lord stepped forward and took it first.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yun, our Moonflower City is honest and trustworthy, and our accounts are absolutely clear."

Ginseng Fruit nodded, then deliberately feigned fatigue.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. If you need anything else, just come find me at the hotel. I'm a little tired now, so I'll go back and rest first."

After saying that, Ginseng Fruit ignored everyone else present and turned to leave.

Erdan and the little princess puppet quickly followed.

Before An Ye could finish speaking, he had to swallow his words and call out to Yun Ran again.

Given the current situation, it seems he needs to negotiate with the higher-ups in Moonflower City first.

Ginseng Fruit and his group reached a street corner where no one was paying attention. He turned to the little princess puppet and said, "You're too small, you should slip away first!"

The little princess puppet understood immediately. She looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, she disappeared in a flash.

Erdan was a little annoyed. So what if it's big? It's not in anyone's way.

Why should it follow the ginseng fruit back to the hotel and attract other people's attention?

Ginseng Fruit didn't care about Erdan's displeasure; he was the one who was still upset. He still remembered how Erdan had tripped him up.

Erdan wanted to rebel and fight the ginseng fruit.

As a result, Ginseng Fruit was one step ahead, immediately reaching out and grabbing Erdan's neck, easily leaping onto Erdan's back.

Then, leaning slightly forward, he whispered a warning to Erdan: "You better behave yourself, can't you see the red clouds on the horizon haven't dissipated yet!"

Erdan looked up in the direction the ginseng fruit was pointing and immediately became obedient.

Although it didn't quite understand why those somewhat scarlet clouds appeared on the horizon after it emitted its aura.

But I always felt that these scarlet clouds were not a good omen.

We can't really fight the ginseng fruit just to save face and end up getting ourselves killed.

Erdan obediently carried the ginseng fruit towards the inn.

On the other side, Yunran watched as a crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the bronze mirror that the ginseng fruit had retrieved from the bottom of the pool after the mechanism lock was opened.

Before Yun Ran could even react with surprise, the bronze mirror she had formed a contract with seemed to be terrified. Bubbles suddenly appeared on the mirror's surface, and then it crashed to the ground with a crack.

The entire movement was so smooth that there wasn't a single pause.

It took Yunran a while to realize that she had contracted with that bronze mirror, which meant she had witnessed the entire process of her kind being injured, and then she had been so frightened that she fainted.
Yunran: ...

I've really learned a lot!
"Click...click click click..."

A sound like a mechanism that had been stuck but then activated rang out, and Yun Ran's gaze immediately shifted away from the bronze mirror.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of dust filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, Yun Ran was covered in dust.

He looked extremely dirty.

The pillars standing at the cave entrance also emitted a faint light.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the light is emanating from the reliefs on the pillars.

As she looked, Yunran's eyes seemed to be drawn into a vortex; her originally bright and lively eyes suddenly became dull.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Ran suddenly snapped back to reality and saw the little princess puppet at her feet, looking at her anxiously.

Yunran did not rush to respond to the little princess puppet, but instead looked at the magical artifact on her body that she used as a timer.

From the moment she was captivated by the glowing relief, until now she has come to her senses.

It may seem like only a second has passed, but in reality, more than half an hour has gone by.

This feeling is similar to undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.

One second I lost consciousness with a snap, the next I was forcibly turned back on, and in between, a long time had passed.

Yunran was speechless. She thought she had been careful in everything, but she still fell into the trap by accident.

But the more this happened, the more curious Yunran became about what was inside the cave.

This is just the entrance to the cave. The reliefs on the pillars are already this impressive. The things inside must be even more amazing.

"Master, are you alright?"

The little princess puppet's worried voice came to her ears again, and Yun Ran finally had time to pay attention to it.

"It's nothing, why are you back?"

The little princess puppet continued to use the ginseng fruit to attract other people's attention, explaining that she had come back to help.

"Master, I feel that this cave is a bit strange..."

The little princess puppet couldn't explain why, it was just an instinctive feeling that something was off about this place.

Yunran was not surprised that the little princess puppet had such perception.

When Yun Ran was crafting these puppets, she used only the finest materials.

Although many of the materials were scraps, they were all leftovers from refining magical artifacts.

Therefore, puppets that are refined, especially those that have been given sentience, naturally possess some of the effects of magical artifacts.

Some magical artifacts can predict good or bad fortune, some can attack evil spirits, and some have powerful defensive capabilities...

The little princess puppet in front of me, though called a puppet, is actually a combination of many magical artifacts.
