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

Chapter 214 You must have been a Pixiu in your past life! (2nd update)
Yun Ran wasn't really curious about the original owner's background, whether it was the female lead Qu Ying or her mysterious biological father.

After all, she is not the original owner. What the original owner cared about, she doesn't care about. Although she carries part of the karma, she will not follow the original owner's predetermined fate.

But now it seems that won't work; the world in the book is much more dangerous than she imagined.

What can be written with pen and ink is far too little and too one-sided; no one knows what lies hidden beneath the surface of this world in the book.

Yunran looked again at the altar that had been destroyed by the laser cannon. This altar was clearly not newly built; it had obviously existed for a very, very long time.

In other words, people have been using this method of sacrifice to try to take a shortcut for a long time.

Yunran didn't know if anyone had succeeded before, but she was certain that similar altars must still exist, and those who knew of their existence were hiding in the shadows.

That was a passage to the immortal realm! How could anyone not be greedy? Yet, she opened it by sheer chance.

No one knows whether this incident will be watched by someone with ulterior motives, or even whether there are any informants within the Special Administration Bureau. Yun Ran can't guarantee anything.

Knowing this secret, she placed two restrictions on the water dragon spirit, allowing her to relax for the time being.

And those utensils, for some reason, the more I look at them, the more creepy they feel. I just feel like they're not good things.

At this moment, Yunran truly felt the powerlessness of being a 'sacrifice,' as if she couldn't trust anyone around her.

Fortunately, she managed to steal some fragments of the altar, which she would study carefully when she got back. Something that even heavenly lightning couldn't break posed a significant threat to her.

Thinking of something, Yunran looked at the people lying on the ground, even though they had already fainted.

But who can guarantee that they didn't hear or see anything before? If someone with ulterior motives were to spy on her memories, she could very well be exposed.

Those people won't let her off the hook just because she doesn't admit it or has no evidence.

People who are willing to sacrifice human lives have no normal human values ​​or moral bottom line. They will stop at nothing to capture her, even if there is only the slightest chance.

While Gu Yuan was looking around, Yun Ran quietly placed special restrictions on all the people lying on the ground.

Anyone who tries to probe their memories will be known to her, and their memories, from the moment she entered this place, have all been erased.

Her complexion, which had improved slightly, turned deathly pale again after she coughed up blood, following Yun Ran's restriction.

Upon hearing Yun Ran cough up blood again, Gu Yuan quickly turned his head to look over.

"What happened? Wasn't the injury under control?"

Yunran could tell that Gu Yuan was genuinely worried about her, but for the sake of her own life, Yunran still reached out to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's gaze froze for a moment, then he heard a clear, ethereal voice: "When you arrived, you only saw Yun Ran beaten half to death and unconscious. You were the one who saved those people."

Gu Yuan repeated it in a daze. Then, a white light flashed, Gu Yuan's eyes slowly closed, and after a few seconds, he opened them again.

Throughout the entire process, he had no idea what was happening. When he came to his senses, he found himself half-squatting, looking at Yun Ran lying on the ground.

I was still a little puzzled. What was he trying to do?
Then, seeing the fresh blood Yunran had just vomited on the ground, he didn't have time to think about anything else and hurriedly shouted to the little paper figure, "Quickly, bring the medicine!"

After saying this, Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Huh, how did he know that the medicine was on the little paper doll?

Little paper dolls: ...Can they say that their master didn't faint, but just closed his eyes by himself?

But the little paper figure holding the medicine obediently flew over, carrying a medicine bottle it was holding.

That round, smooth hand took out a dumpling the same size as its hand and stuffed it into Yunran's mouth.

Yun Ran slowly opened her eyes: "Ouch, my chest hurts, I need to report this as a work injury!"

Gu Yuan was almost worried to death, but Yun Ran's first words were about seeking benefits for herself, leaving him speechless.

"You must have been born under the zodiac sign of Pixiu in your past life!"

Yunran's chest was indeed a little sore, but after taking the medicine, a cool sensation swept through her internal organs, making her feel a little better.

He coughed lightly twice before speaking seriously, "I call this fighting for my own interests."

What could Gu Yuan say? After all, Yun Ran was his savior and the person he could entrust with his life, so naturally he had to side with Yun Ran.

The Special Administration Bureau's benefits are really good. Why can some good-for-nothings eat and drink well, but Yunran can't?

"Don't worry, I'll report it to the maximum allowable level for you!"

The Special Administration Bureau arrived very quickly. In fact, Xie Xuzhi had already had people keeping an eye on them ever since Yun Ran and the others sent their first message back.

His gaze appeared calm and composed, but only he knew that his heart was far from at peace.

When Yun Ran sent another message, instructing the Special Administration Bureau to clean up the mess, Xie Xuzhi stood up and walked out without the slightest hesitation.

Those big shots who had previously been calm and collected, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, also followed closely behind Xie Xuzhi.

The Tan family wanted to follow, but they were stopped.

"Young Master Tan, the matter we need to handle is not covered in the previous cooperation agreement. We will bring the person back, and you are not to interfere in the rest!"

Tan Chengbi, who was blocked, was a little annoyed and stared straight at Xie Xuzhi's departing figure.

At this moment, he finally believed what Xie Xuzhi had said earlier: Yun Ran was indeed not approaching him for any purpose.

From beginning to end, Xie Xuzhi, the eldest son of the Xie family, never treated him as a person of equal ability, so his subordinates naturally didn't need to bother with him.

There's no need to doubt Yunran anymore. This should be a happy thing, after all, Yunran is the only confidant who can appreciate his work and share his aesthetic sense.

But when he realized that he was no match for Xie Xuzhi, Tan Chengbi felt a sense of defeat for the first time.

The assistant glanced at his young master and knew that this was another case of the common problem of 'trying to endure hardship' that children born into top-tier wealthy families have developed.

"Young Master, it's very late. Why don't you go and get some rest? Miss Yun and Young Master Xie are both professionals."

"Leave things to them, they'll be fine. Maybe everything will be resolved by the time you wake up from your nap."

Tan Chengbi: ...
