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

Chapter 1274 I disagree with you taking such a risk!

Long Ling didn't understand what Chi Yao meant by that. She pouted and thought that this person was really too petty.

Wherever he and Yunran are, all rules must give way to them.

It's just taking something from that Murong family, what's the big deal!

and many more!

The Murong family, why does that name sound so familiar?
Long Ling suddenly looked at Yun Ran: "This Murong family, could it be the same Murong family from Moonflower City?"

Although the Murong family disappeared over time, that doesn't mean they weren't powerful.

With what he has now, plus Yun Ran's family fortune, it would be a bit troublesome to compete with a prosperous family in terms of strength!
If only there were a branch of Qingfeng Temple or a branch of the Special Administration Bureau in this world right now, we wouldn't have these worries now.

Yunran naturally understood what Long Ling meant, but at this moment, the most important thing was obviously not whether they could come up with enough resources.

She looked at Chi Yao: "How much impact will forcibly altering what has already happened have on the subsequent historical process, and what price will I have to pay for it?"

The question Chi Yao asked earlier was actually whether Yun Ran could bear the consequences of changing the established events.

Just as he was mentally calculating how to make up for the lack of dragon spirits by plucking off a few of his own dragon scales or extracting some dragon blood, he was suddenly frozen in place by Yun Ran's words.

"What are you talking about?!"

All Long Ling knew was that this dreamlike realm had existed for many years, and contained information about the high priest of the temple, as well as information about the Heavenly Book.

However, he was completely unaware that everything in this dream world was something that had actually happened before.

They were merely spectators in this dreamlike world.

If they do nothing, perhaps when the new cycle begins, they will be able to find a chance to go back.

But if they have any ideas and change some of the important points, no one can predict what the consequences will be.

Dragon spirits, beings that have been born and raised by nature for thousands of years, understand better than anyone else what it means for a single hair to affect the whole body.

Sometimes, even a tiny drop of water can change the whole situation.

Thinking of this, Long Ling's face darkened, and she stood up, casting her dissenting vote with a serious expression.

"No, I don't agree to you taking such a risk!"

If history were to develop in a positive direction, that would be one thing, but that possibility is almost negligible.

The dragon spirit unleashed its full majesty, clearly to suppress Yun Ran and bring her back to her senses.

This was the first time Long Ling had dealt such a severe blow to Yun Ran since Yun Ran forcibly formed a contract with him. He couldn't just stand by and watch Yun Ran court death.

"Let me tell you, I am also a disciple that Master has recognized. According to age, I am your senior brother!"

No matter what your reason is, I will absolutely not let you take such a risk. Even if you bring in the Emperor himself, it's still not allowed!

The dragon spirit's oppressive aura also had some effect on Yun Ran, causing her to frown slightly.

As for the spirit of the small building, it was knocked unconscious the moment the dragon spirit's pressure was released.

The little paper figure was also affected, clutching its chest with difficulty, as if it was about to suffocate.

It wanted to rush to the center to take some of the pressure off Yunran, but its body seemed to be frozen in mid-air.

It was at this moment that the little paper dolls regained their sense of the dragon spirit's power, proving that it was indeed beyond the capabilities of low-level puppets like themselves. Throughout the entire ordeal, only Chi Yao remained unaffected, calmly sipping the medicinal essence from his teacup.

If someone had counted carefully, they would know that this was already Chi Yao's fifth cup.

If it were anyone else, enduring such potent medicinal power would at least cause them to bleed from all seven orifices, if not explode and die. But he was completely unharmed.

At this moment, Chi Yao only possessed a fraction of his peak strength, and he dared not even imagine how terrifying his peak strength would be.

Faced with Long Ling's sour face, Yun Ran had no intention of giving him the cold shoulder.

He raised an eyelid slightly before slowly saying, "Are you afraid of dying, or afraid that I'll implicate you?"

When these words reached Long Ling's ears, they became a blatant provocation and a sign of distrust.

Long Ling was immediately saddened, feeling that Yun Ran was simply a heartless person.

Humans used to say that even if a demon beast cultivated into human form, it would still lack human nature and would have no conscience.

Now, the one without conscience is clearly Yunran, this human being.

He was so devoted to Yunran, even risking his life to accompany her through countless dangers.

It's just that they're considered to be sworn brothers, and now they're even fellow disciples.

The dragon spirit, feeling utterly disheartened, immediately lost its strength. The originally powerful pressure deflated like a punctured balloon.

Long Ling snorted coldly, turned her head away from Yun Ran, and sat down with a thud, her tone full of self-mockery.

"Hmph, I brought this on myself. From now on, I'm going to seal my heart and become a cold-blooded dragon spirit!"

"Pfft~~~"

Yunran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although it was a bit unfair, she really couldn't help herself.

Yunran truly hadn't expected that Long Ling was such a dramatic character.

She said that because she knew that Long Ling, who seemed to be very receptive, was actually much more stubborn than Xuan Chu, who came from Tiandao Village.

Therefore, only by addressing his root cause can we break his vicious cycle of stubbornness.

It can be said that Yunran understands the dragon spirit better than he understands himself, which is why he is completely under Yunran's control.

Seeing that Long Ling had truly calmed down, at least now she was able to listen to her talk about other things.

Only then did he speak: "Did I tell you that if I don't break free from that wretched fate of mine, it will eventually devour all my power. At that time, even if I have the lineage of Qingfeng Temple, I will not be able to escape death."

The world they live in evolved from a novel, and Yun Ran's identity is a stepping stone destined for an early death, something she can't escape—that's the power of the plot.

If it weren't for the many life-saving methods of Qingfeng Temple, she would have died eight hundred times over.

Even so, the power within her body was still being slowly depleted at a subtle pace.

Yunran could accept dying for the sake of the common people, for Qingfeng Temple, and for the path she was determined to follow.

But they couldn't accept that they would be worn down to death in such an absurd way.
