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

Chapter 1210 Yun Ran, the Sucker

The little princess puppet, who had just put away the demon core, suddenly became somewhat listless, despite her previously energetic state.

It was as if some force was pressing down on it, making it feel like it was about to suffocate.

"Master...Master..."

Seeing that the little princess puppet was swaying a bit, Yunran caught it and then casually stuck a talisman on it.

"The power of the moonlight is indeed formidable; even the little paper doll couldn't escape it. I didn't expect you to be discovered as well."

Puppetry is a technique that lies between orthodox esoteric arts and forbidden arts. Under certain circumstances, it is normal for it to be regarded as a threat.

After the talisman was affixed, the invisible pressure on the little princess puppet decreased dramatically.

However, it also affected some of its operational capabilities to some extent.

"Thank you, Master~"

Yunran could clearly detect a hint of grievance in the little princess puppet's tone.

As the master, Yunran naturally felt a pang of heartache.

"Good boy, your master will get revenge for you later!"

The little princess puppet immediately nodded happily, her eyes sparkling.

The formation, having absorbed the power of the moonlight, has become much stronger, and even the air is filled with an aura that forces people to be on guard.

Yunran put away the recliner. Having assessed the situation, she saw no need to stay any longer.

He turned around and headed straight for the passage that didn't seem very big.

But when Yunran got closer, she realized that even her own eyes could deceive her.

This tunnel is actually twice as big as those tunnels on highways, it just doesn't look that big visually.

As Yunran walked, she muttered to herself, "She really is a capable person~"

When she finally reached the bottom of the passage, she was momentarily blinded by the light.

Looking up, you can see a bronze mirror hanging directly above the passageway.

Yunran: ...

Does this count as effortless?

Before this, Yunran had even thought that this last bronze mirror must be hidden very well and that it would take a considerable price to find it.

As a result, this is it?
Speechless, Yun Ran sighed softly before deciding to take the bronze mirror down.

Judging by appearance, the bronze mirror seems to have been welded directly to the top of this passage.

The stone walls of the passage still bear the marks of chisels and are not smooth, which makes climbing up much easier.

Just as Yunran was rubbing her hands together, preparing to take down the bronze mirror...

The little princess puppet seemed to have heard something and turned to look at the path they had come from.

It was as if she hadn't looked, but what she saw almost made the little princess puppet scream in shock.

"Master! Look!"

If it were anyone else, and they suddenly screamed like that, Yun Ran would definitely give them a hard time.

They might even mutter under their breath: "You ignorant bumpkin, all you do is make a fuss!"

But since the one speaking now is a puppet she personally crafted and awakened to intelligence.

Their attitudes were completely different, naturally. If they had to give a reason, it would probably be that whoever raises a child loves them more. Yun Ran turned her head to look behind her, and then her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Good heavens, her eyes!!!
This isn't a passageway at all; it's clearly the gaping maw of some unknown monster!
They just walked right into a trap without any warning!

At this moment, what Yunran saw was a row of sharp teeth, and an unknown liquid hanging from them.

But Yunran still felt a pang of discomfort, because she knew very well that the unknown liquid was the monster's saliva.

Yunran looked at the passage again, or rather, the bronze mirror on the upper palate of the monster's mouth.

Now, she seemed to understand the purpose of the bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror is no different from a demon-revealing mirror; any living being will reveal its true form in front of it.

However, probably no one could have imagined that this demon-revealing mirror could not only reveal the true appearance of living beings, but also conceal their true appearance when used in reverse.

Yunran was the gullible fool who was tricked by the bronze mirror.

Once you're inside this monster's mouth, getting out will probably be a bit of a hassle.

The little princess puppet's hearing is far superior to that of humans; it can hear many sounds that humans cannot.

Yunran sensed that the little princess puppet was nervously gripping her hem.

"Master, I hear the monster's hungry cries..."

"Don't worry, this monster isn't capable of eating your master!"

Without further ado, Yun Ran drew her dagger and forcefully plunged it into the monster's mouth.

She hadn't originally planned to use such brute force to obtain that last bronze mirror.

But what can you do when she's genuinely angry?
To think that she, the dignified abbess of Qingfeng Temple, would be tricked into the monster's mouth like this, what face would she have left if others found out!
The dagger pierced the monster's mouth, but the sound it made wasn't the sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh; rather, it felt more like it was being driven into a stone.

It seems that the monster's mouth is not to be underestimated in terms of hardness!
The little princess puppet wanted to help Yunran remove the bronze mirror, but it had been attacked by an array, and the talisman sealed off the spread of its aura.

If the little princess puppet were to make a move at this moment, the talisman on its body would be wasted.

The little princess puppet could only watch helplessly as her master did the deed himself.

Yun Ran was incredibly agile. Despite having to climb up the vertical palate of her mouth, she moved as if she were walking on flat ground.

When Yunran finally got close to the bronze mirror, she saw that it had been embedded directly into the monster's mouth in a very cruel way.

In other words, the bronze mirror and the monster's mouth have become fused together.

To obtain the bronze mirror, it is necessary to cut open the skin and flesh that are growing together.

Yunran: ...

The person who came up with such a terrible idea is truly a 'genius'!
Now, Yun Ran wanted to take back the exaggerated words she had made about the first city lord of Yuehua City.

This guy isn't some extraordinary expert; he's clearly just a nobody!

He's still the kind of guy who always comes up with bad ideas.

"Master, please be careful~"

The little princess puppet below watched her master, who was hanging above her with a dagger in her hand. Her heart was truly in her throat.

After thinking for a moment, the little princess puppet immediately stood directly below Yun Ran, with her hands outstretched.

This was because they were afraid that Yunran might accidentally fall. At such a height, even if she didn't get hurt, she would definitely be in a lot of pain if she fell.
