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

Chapter 1256 I've struck it rich

The nine-headed beast became docile, but Yun Ran clearly didn't fully trust it. This guy was similar to the Dragon Spirit back then.

It looks honest, but if given the chance, it will pop up and cause trouble from time to time.

Fortunately, with the sealing paper in place, even if the nine-headed beast is extremely rebellious, it can only obediently follow orders; otherwise, it would never see the sun again.

The next morning, the Mei family delivered the compensation: a very precious tea set, which should have been reserved for royalty, was presented to Yunran.

Yunran's first thought was, "I'm rich!"

If this thing were taken back, it would definitely be a national treasure. Forget about using it, even just displaying it for people to see would have to cost money.

Once the gift touched her heart, Yunran suddenly became exceptionally easy to talk to.

The puppetry technique on Mei Zhang was lifted, but his memories would not be lost. In other words, he would retain all the memories of his time of humbly submitting to others.

"Ma San, see them out."

Contrary to what the other members of the Mei family had expected, Mei Zhang did not feel ashamed or resentful, nor did he regard this period as a disgrace. Instead, a complex expression appeared on his face.

The nine-headed beast's anger, suppressed by the sealing paper, had been unable to find an outlet. Now, it finally found a way to vent its frustration.

He immediately moved closer to Yun Ran and said with obvious malice, "This kid doesn't look honest. I'll go kill him so he won't stab you in the back!"

Yun Ran glanced sideways at the nine-headed beast; even after being sealed away for so many years, it was still so ferocious.

"As long as you don't use my name, you can do whatever you want."

The nine-headed beast was overjoyed. With the knife from Qingfeng Temple hanging over its head, even though it had come out, it felt uncomfortable no matter where it was.

Only through killing can its true nature be unleashed.

Just as the nine-headed beast was overjoyed, feeling that it could once again display its might, Yun Ran said something else.

"However, if you get entangled in karma again, even the sealing paper of Qingfeng Temple will not be able to protect you. When your soul is scattered, don't blame me for not saving you."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly onto the head of the nine-headed beast.

Only then did it finally remember that it had caused trouble back then and had been captured by the people of Qingfeng Temple.

It really didn't want to die at the time, so it begged for mercy and finally voluntarily allowed itself to be sealed and modified.

When it was sealed, the old man who sealed it said that if it caused trouble again, the sealing paper would no longer share its original karma.

At that time, all the karmic consequences will come together and fall back on its head.

The nine-headed beast stiffened for a moment, then revealed an awkward yet obsequious smile.

"Hey, I was just saying. I've already reformed and would never wantonly kill again..."

As the nine-headed beast continued speaking, it realized it lacked confidence and eventually shut up in embarrassment.

Seeing that the nine-headed beast was now truly subdued and obedient, Yun Ran gently placed the box in her hand on the table.

His tone carried an unprecedented seriousness: "It's best if you know, that sealing paper itself is formed from the karma you owe."

The person who sealed you away back then also bore part of your karma, which is why you were given the chance to start over.

Although this seal restricts your freedom, you will regain your freedom one day once you have paid off all the karmic debts you owe.

"But if you remain incorrigible, even if the patriarch of my Qingfeng Temple personally comes to convert you, it will be in vain." After saying that, Yun Ran picked up her things and went back to her room, completely ignoring the nine-headed beast.

Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said. Qingfeng Temple will only convert those who are worthy of conversion.

If there really is a traitor who insists on causing trouble, then he or she will have to bear all the consequences himself or her.

In the following days, the nine-headed beast did not appear again, perhaps feeling embarrassed by being scolded by Yun Ran.

Soon, the day of the Divine Sword Manor auction arrived.

Yunran left early in the morning. Ma San changed to a new carriage, which at first glance made it clear that only a wealthy and powerful family could use it.

During her stay at the base, Yunran hardly ever left the house.

However, everyone in Meicheng with any connections or influence knew that a powerful and influential person had arrived in Meicheng.

As soon as Yunran's carriage drove out of that secluded alley, everyone around immediately made way for her in the middle.

And all of this happened without anyone notifying them; it was all done spontaneously and in unison by these people.

Ma San raised the whip in his hand, intending to shout to make these people give way.

As a result, his actions became somewhat unnecessary.

Only after the carriage had gone quite a distance did many of the people who had readily made way for it begin to dare to discuss it.

"This must be the carriage of that important person. It's really impressive and looks like something you shouldn't mess with."

"Isn't what you're saying obvious? Even the Mei family doesn't dare to directly confront this important person. What are we worth?"

"Didn't they say before that the Mei family also had a powerful family backing them up? The Mei family is a formidable force in several towns around here. I never expected that they would have someone they're afraid of."

"The Mei family is quite powerful in this area, but there are always people more powerful than you, and there are always mountains beyond mountains. We can't just casually inquire about the affairs of important people."

……

Among the crowd, several people wearing straw hats and whose clothes looked faded from washing were staring intently at the direction where Yunran's carriage had disappeared.

Then, amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the figure quickly disappeared.

Divine Sword Manor is located in a valley outside the city. The carriage went out of the city gate and headed towards Divine Sword Manor.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few people who were also heading to Divine Sword Manor, but those people were obviously not as high-profile as Yun Ran's carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, even through the thick wooden planks, Yunran could still feel that many people's eyes were on her.

These gazes were mostly filled with curiosity, envy, or even a hint of jealousy.

Yunran didn't pay much attention at first, closing her eyes to adjust to the rhythm of the carriage swaying on the bumpy road.

Suddenly, they noticed several gazes that were clearly filled with malice and murderous intent.

Yun Ran suddenly opened her eyes: "Stop the car!"

Ma San, who was driving the horses, noticed that Yun Ran's aura had changed and quickly asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

After the carriage stopped, Yunran lifted the curtain, jumped off, and looked straight at the mountainside on one side.
