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

Chapter 133 Host, will you save her? (2nd update)
The bound woman let out a painful scream.

Shen Jun's eyes were cold: "My little girl, you've fallen into a deadly trap once again. It's all your fault!!!"

The woman's voice was incredibly weak, yet it came through clearly: "Cousin, I was really wrong, I'll never do it again..."

If Qu Ying were here, she would definitely recognize that this woman, who was nothing but skin and bones, was none other than the noblewoman she had once admired.

Qu Ying had brainwashed herself into believing that by exchanging her daughter with her, she was ensuring her daughter would enjoy endless wealth and luxury.

But later, after her husband disappeared, Qu Ying married into a wealthy family, and her mindset changed. Perhaps she herself did not realize that she actually regretted switching her daughter.

If the relationship hadn't been changed, her daughter could still enjoy wealth and luxury with her, which is why she hated the original owner even more.

Yunran exposed the scheme, and although the noblewoman escaped temporarily, she was not silenced.

But she never dreamed that she would be betrayed by the person she had always trusted, who would hand her over directly to Shen Jun.

After enduring endless torment, when I saw my cousin again...

The noblewoman could hardly believe that the insane monster before her was her cousin who refused to return to the family even in death.

These tortures left her in a state of unbearable suffering, and all she could do was beg for mercy, but it was no use.

"Cousin, I didn't do it on purpose back then. I was forced into it. Please, just give me a quick death."

If she had to go through it all again, she would rather be silenced than fall into the hands of this madman.

Shen Jun's hoarse voice rang out viciously: "Spare you? Then who is responsible for the suffering my daughter has endured all these years?"

If you hadn't bewitched Qu Ying, how could she have thought of switching the child and abusing her own daughter!

All these years, you've been secretly enjoying yourself, haven't you? You've made everyone a fool of you, and my little girl has been used as a tool for human sacrifice.

Bearing a fate rejected by the heavens, teetering on the brink of death time and time again, even skinning you alive wouldn't quell my hatred!

As he spoke, Shen Jun pressed another yellow button, and the wealthy woman's face contorted in pain.

But she couldn't die, nor could she faint; she could only endure all the pain with a clear mind.

On the cruise ship, Yunran, who was sleeping soundly, was nudged a few times by the little paper doll. She opened her hazy eyes and seemed to have no idea what year it was.

The little paper doll, having learned this from someone, deliberately lowered its voice: "Master, someone tried to sabotage the ship's propulsion system and radar device, but I knocked them unconscious."

A group of pirates is slowly approaching us not far away; they should be right up to us soon.

Yunran woke up immediately and sat up.

"Pirates?"

The little paper doll nodded quickly: "Yes, Master, should I go and capsize those pirate ships?"

Yunran wanted to deal with all those people at once.

Unfortunately, even members of the Xuanmen sect are subject to constraints. Unless someone on the pirate ship knows Xuanmen techniques, she won't be in trouble if she takes action.

However, if the other party is just an ordinary person, she cannot use the methods of the Xuanmen sect at will, even if those ordinary people are actually evil people in disguise.

If people could act whenever they wanted, the world would be in chaos. The saying "a hero uses martial arts to break the law" also applies to people in the Xuanmen sect.

Shen Zhe had explained this to her before; those who use esoteric methods without encountering supernatural events or fighting evil cultivators are locked up in special prisons to reflect on their actions—it's a terrible fate. "No need for now, just keep an eye on them. Also, preserve all relevant evidence and hand it over to the police officers who infiltrated the cruise ship."

If we accidentally break the rules, we'll have proof to get away with it, so we don't get arrested and used as an example.

The little paper doll nodded and quietly flew away to carry out Yunran's orders.

Yunran checked the time and thought she had slept for a long time, but it turned out she had only slept for two hours, and it was now exactly midnight.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Yunran slowly went to open it and saw Xia Jing wearing a bright red tight-fitting halter dress.

Looking at Yun Ran, who had no makeup and whose hair was casually draped over her shoulders, Xia Jing's eyes flashed with shock.

Especially when faced with Yun Ran's eyes, still shrouded in a drowsy sleep, Xia Jing was speechless: "Don't tell me you're already asleep!"

Yunran nodded.

Xia Jing, fully made up, suddenly felt a headache coming on. She shouldn't have let Yun Ran go back to her room alone.

"I redid my look for the party night, and you just slept through it."

"Forget it, there's no time to do your hair and makeup now. Luckily, you have good skin, so I'll just do your eyebrows and lipstick later. That should do for now."

As she spoke, without waiting for Yunran to refuse, she squeezed through the door and opened the dressing room next door with practiced ease. Inside were brand new haute couture gowns from various high-end brands.

Xia Jing chose a black dress for Yun Ran and a pearl necklace to match it before urging Yun Ran to change her clothes.

"Hurry up and change it, there's a lucky draw coming up later, and it's a super grand prize. Even I'm tempted!"

Yunran wasn't afraid of being treated badly, but she was afraid of being treated warmly. Looking at Xia Jing like this, Yunran had no temper and could only obediently change into her dress.

Looking at Yunran after she changed, Xia Jing nodded in satisfaction: "My aesthetic sense is indeed superb. You look stunning in this dress."

Xia Jing immediately took action, simply tying up Yun Ran's hair and then applying eyebrows and lipstick to her.

In just a few minutes, a little princess was revealed.

Xia Jing, hands on her hips with an air of smugness, said, "I really am someone who can make a living in the fashion world. With just a few tweaks, you've become the most eye-catching person."

The ringing of the midnight bells signifies the start of the carnival party.

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's go down and grab a number. Let me tell you, this time the grand prize is a huge pink diamond, which is extremely rare."

Xia Jing excitedly dragged Yun Ran forward, but she didn't see that Yun Ran's gaze was full of entanglement.

At this moment, Xia Jing's forehead was completely black, even tinged with a deep crimson, a sign of a tragic death. Moreover, she could only live for a few more minutes at most.

[Host, will you save her? She seems like a pretty good person, don't you think?]

Yunran used to tell fortunes for people when they were confused and desperate, offering guidance. Heaven is ruthless, but it is also compassionate, leaving a glimmer of hope.

This is the Great Dao of Fifty, the Heavenly Evolution of Forty-Nine, and Humanity's Escape to One.

But if she were to directly interfere in the karma of someone who is destined to die, then she would be defying the heavens.
