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

Chapter 365 It’s rude to come and not return.

Rong Gu looked at the old man in front of her with a calm gaze, but it was this expressionless demeanor that made the old man break out in a cold sweat.

"Fairy... Fairy Maiden..."

Rong Gu withdrew her gaze, stepped down from the altar, and dusted off non-existent dust from her body.

“If she were so easy to kill, you wouldn’t have asked me to take action. However, it’s not entirely without progress. She didn’t die, but she’s also afflicted by a curse. If it’s not lifted, her whole body will eventually rot away!”

The old man was somewhat disappointed, but thinking of the information he had received earlier, he suddenly felt that it was a pleasant surprise that Yun Ran had fallen for the trap.

"Yes, yes, as expected, the fairy maiden's actions are truly extraordinary. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

Rong Gu nodded. If it weren't for the fact that her brother needed a lot of resources to prolong his life, given her temper, she would have already snapped the necks of these people who wanted to interfere.

Yun Ran turned on the lights in the room and looked at the red dot on her palm, which had pierced straight through the back of her hand.

His other hand was used for calculations.

Soon, it was discovered that the person who had harmed her was in Kyoto.

However, the other party was not to be underestimated; they could only calculate the approximate range and could not determine the exact location.

However, there are only a few people who can hurt her, and they are still in Kyoto. In addition, Xie Xuzhi said today that Rong Gu has appeared.

In conclusion, the person who attacked her must be Rong Gu.

"How interesting. They've only just shown up, and they're already using me as a scapegoat. It seems my reputation has spread far and wide, and they can't wait to get rid of this obstacle."

There was a rapid knocking at the door, and it was immediately clear that it was Long Ling, since Ginseng Fruit would never knock on the door in the middle of the night.

If they really had something to say, they could have used the system's voice transmission.

Yunran put on her coat and opened the door.

She saw Long Ling staring at her with a hostile expression, her tone filled with suppressed anger: "What exactly did you do!"

Immediately afterwards, Long Ling stretched out her hand, and in the middle of her slender palm was a red dot.

Yunran: ...

She took back her previous words about regretting coexisting with the dragon spirit. It was really good to have a powerful being coexist with her; at least this guy could help her withstand some damage.

"Why would someone curse you out of the blue, and why would they succeed? Just how many people have you offended?!"

Long Ling now truly wishes he could beat Yun Ran to death. He was originally living a carefree life in the sea. If it weren't for Yun Ran, he would have become a water dragon and be able to dominate a region of the sea.

Now, not only does he have to be Yunran's underling, but he also has to help Yunran withstand a wave of damage. How could he be so unlucky?

Yunran also felt that she was innocent. She hadn't offended anyone on her own initiative, and she wouldn't take the blame for it.

He immediately spread his hands: "This really isn't my fault. Only mediocre people aren't envied and framed. Your victim-blaming mentality is wrong!"

Looking at the red mark on his palm, Long Ling was so angry that his face turned red. He thought back to when he had roamed the seas for thousands of years, when had he ever suffered so many losses?

"I don't care, you're the one who caused this mess, so you have to sort this out as soon as possible, or I'm not done with you!"

Seeing that the dragon spirit was really about to explode, Yun Ran had no choice but to appease it, otherwise, if it really went berserk, it might accidentally hurt her. "Alright, alright, I'll handle this. But this little aftereffect of the curse isn't a big deal. You're a powerful being, after all; making such a fuss is embarrassing~"

If this curse were to fall upon someone else, they would surely die on the spot, and no clues would be found.

When it happened to Yunran, it was just a minor side effect of a slightly rotten hand, nothing serious.

Perhaps it was because Yunran's eyes were too sincere and he thought Yunran was very capable, but Longling suddenly had a smug look about him, as if Yunran did have some sense of propriety.

"You know that's good. This has happened so many times. You always drag me into this. It's only because I'm incredibly powerful that I don't know when I would be killed by you."

"I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, don't blame me for not giving you face. I hate burdens the most!"

After finishing her rant, Long Ling felt all her pent-up anger dissipate. She snorted coldly, turned around, and left.

Yunran closed the door. Although she didn't consider being cursed a huge deal, the feeling of being slapped was indeed very upsetting.

"It is impolite not to retaliate. If I don't fight back, people might really think I'm a pushover."

Yunran quickly grabbed her bag and started rummaging through it.

She had little interest in these kinds of curses and framing tactics.

However, my uncle once said that if you want to deal with those crooked and evil ways, you must understand their methods. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you defeat them.

Therefore, when she was young, she traveled around with her martial uncle and learned a lot of unorthodox methods, but she just didn't use them.

After rummaging around for a while, Yunran finally pulled out a small, incredibly old-looking box from the bottom of the bag.

Compared to other magical artifacts, this little box looks like it was taken out of a garbage dump; it's clearly something that's never been used.

The box was opened, and inside lay an ancient book, which looked as if it might turn to dust at any moment.

Yun Ran showed no pity whatsoever, forcefully tearing open the cover. What came into view were all sorts of strange-looking pictures.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have felt a chill run down their spine by now, because the picture looked eerie and terrifying, as if it were full of evil things.

In fact, the pictures in this book are not good at all.

Yunran tore off a piece of paper with a single large rip.

If you look closely, you will see that there are many torn marks on the edges of this ancient book.

After tearing out a page, Yunran closed the small box, and the evil aura that had been faintly released from the ancient book vanished instantly.

The illustrations on the pages moved slightly after being removed from the box, and immediately came to life after the small box was closed.

It then desperately tried to escape its fate of being bound by the pages, but while one part of its body was pulled out, the other part was welded shut again.

Yun Ran reached out and grabbed at the wisp of black energy that had been unable to escape the pages of the book, which came straight for Yun Ran's face.

His posture clearly indicated that he intended to perish together with Yunran.

Unfortunately, as soon as it flew over, Yun Ran slapped it away, sending it crashing into the coffee table in the room.
