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

Chapter 1251 A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
Although the candlelight wasn't very bright, it was enough for the people inside the room to clearly see who was standing at the door on this night.

"It's you!"

Yunran's tone was somewhat surprised, yet also contained a hint of expectation.

The nine-headed beast stared intently at the man who walked in; this was the first person it couldn't see through.

Even the guy from Qingfeng Temple, who forced it to seal itself away back then, didn't give it the same complicated feeling as the person in front of it.

The man paused for a moment, but finally stepped inside with a slightly apologetic expression on his face.

"Well, I just noticed you were here, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect to disturb you."

The familiarity in his tone made even the nine-headed beast, which had been sealed away for many years, believe that the person in front of him was an acquaintance of Yun Ran.

The man who suddenly appeared was the same one who had used the scales as a token to befriend Yun Ran.

During the days of amnesia, Yunran had some doubts about what the man said, but she did not doubt that he knew her.

But now, he's still acting all familiar, which is becoming a bit unbearable for Yun Ran.

She's not mentally impaired; how could she not remember whether she knows this person or not?

As for that scale tainted with her scent, it might have been artificially created during the time she was unconscious.

Yunran hates it when people try to deceive her, because it makes her seem like she's easy to fool.

"Heh, I was just looking for you. I didn't expect you to show up so quickly!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran raised her hand and struck out with all her might.

Once hit, broken bones are the least of your worries; if you're unlucky, your internal organs could be shattered.

Clearly, Yun Ran was filled with murderous intent at this moment.

The nine-headed beast was also somewhat frightened by Yun Ran's current state, which was why it had dared to stab Yun Ran from time to time before.

It is because it is very clear that the people of Qingfeng Temple have always adhered to this bottom line.

That is, unless it is an incurable creature, they are all willing to give each other a way out.

But at this moment, the killing intent that Yun Ran suddenly exuded was clearly different from what it had known before.

The nine-headed beast felt its nine brains were itching, but it wisely remained silent.

Since Yunran did this, she must have her own reasons. In the end, she still had a mysterious confidence in the people who came from Qingfeng Temple.

The man looked at Yun Ran's undisguised killing intent and sighed slightly.

He knew that when he met Yunran again, he would face this test once more.

Yunran's killing move is not without flaws, but only those on her side know how to counter it.

"It's been so long, and you're still as cautious as ever."

The man easily dodged Yun Ran's attack, then sat down on a chair nearby and casually picked up the long-cold tea and took a sip.

Then he exclaimed in amazement, "I'm really curious how rich you are, that you can always bring out so many good things."

Yunran's attack missed, but her face showed no anger, instead remaining calm.

It was as if the person who had looked so murderous before wasn't her at all. "To be able to dodge my killing move so easily, it seems you do know me, and we have a pretty good relationship."

The man put down his teacup, and a smile immediately appeared on his upturned face.

"I told you before, even if you don't remember anything when we meet again, you will still believe me."

Yun Ran pursed her lips. She didn't trust this overly familiar guy in front of her; she only trusted herself.

This killer move of hers was something she created herself after years of 'education' from her junior uncle, master, and senior uncles.

Even before he knew how to counter this move, Junior Uncle found it difficult to perfectly avoid it; at the very least, he could never maintain his usual neatness.

Therefore, they were able to avoid it so perfectly that not even a piece of clothing was damaged.

Either this person could easily crush her, or this person did indeed learn the counter to this killing move from her.

Regardless of the answer, now is not the time to start a fight.

Yunran naturally had to choose a direction that was advantageous to her, following the line of thought of this acquaintance and also probing into the person's background.

Throughout the entire ordeal, only the nine-headed beast genuinely believed that Yun Ran and this seemingly unapproachable man were good acquaintances.

"Is this your new pet? This is a hydra, right? Weren't they all supposed to be dead? You're really lucky to have found this."

"But what about your paper dolls? The last time we met, you had several paper dolls as pets."

Yun Ran's expression remained unchanged, and she said indifferently, "Oh, send them out to do some errands."

The atmosphere appeared calm and even, but in reality, Yunran's heart was in turmoil.

When she sent the paper doll and the dragon spirit into the ghost realm, her defensive formation had not yet been broken.

That formation was so complex that even the patriarch Qingyangzi couldn't find any major flaws in it.

But the man in front of her clearly pointed out the existence of the little paper figure.

Instantly, Yun Ran's vigilance towards the person in front of her was raised to the highest level.

The nine-headed beast initially showed little emotion towards the man who had suddenly arrived.

He didn't even have much interest in exploring the somewhat strange atmosphere between him and Yunran.

But now, this damned stinky man is calling it a nine-headed monster!
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
When that old bastard from Qingfeng Temple sealed it away, he did so with a degree of respect.

The nine-headed beast couldn't stand it any longer. Its nine eyes glared angrily at the man, and it immediately started cursing.

"You little bastard, how dare you call me by such a lowly name as the Nine-Headed Monster? I think you have a death wish!"

As it spoke, the nine-headed beast conjured a gigantic phantom that nearly burst the entire room apart.

The enormous beast head opened its blood-red maw, its extreme killing intent instantly waking everyone in the entire stronghold.

Not to mention Ma San and Mei Zhang, who were resting in the small corner room outside the courtyard, they scrambled to their feet in a panic.

"Master! What happened?"

Ma San wasn't even properly dressed, with one arm sticking out, when he hurriedly pushed open the door.

The first thing you see is Yunran's house, and a huge, ferocious beast with its blood-red maw wide open, as if it wants to swallow everything and everyone in the house whole.
