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

Chapter 392 The Black Pot is Big and Heavy (2 Updates)
Gu Yuan felt like a long time had passed, but Yun Ran still hadn't answered the phone, and his mind started to fill in all sorts of scenarios.

The thought that Yun Ran hadn't answered the phone immediately because she was seriously injured and covered in blood...

Just as Gu Yuan's face turned deathly pale from imagining things, the call was answered.

The heart that had plummeted to rock bottom immediately rebounded: "Ranran..."

To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Yun Ran's voice on the other end of the phone, but rather Yun Ran's little apprentice.

Despite its youthful voice, it carried an undeniable air of strength and dominance: "My master is resting. If you need anything, just tell me!"

Even if Gu Yuan was slow to notice, he sensed something was amiss.

"Has something happened to Ranran? Don't hide it from me, I can handle it..."

Ginseng Fruit rolled his eyes speechlessly; he would never have acted this way before.

But after becoming a human being, I realized that there are no elites, only makeshift teams everywhere!

"Don't make things up. If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, hang up. You come to my master for everything all day long. Is she the only one who can be used by the Special Administration Bureau?"
What's the point of employing so many people? Do my master even get a share of their salaries and bonuses? Whenever something goes wrong, my master has to clean up your messes!

Besides, my master has to participate in the final round of the competition tomorrow. He's not going to be so free; even a landlord's donkey wouldn't be used like that!

After being harshly scolded, Gu Yuan was stunned. He could only force a smile and say a few words before hanging up the phone.

Something unusual must be going on. His intuition told him that Yun Ran's sudden change of heart must be related to the boss.

Looking at Xie Xuzhi lying on the hospital bed, he looked him up and down with a puzzled expression.

Gu Yuan felt he had figured it out; it must be the boss's fault for getting scolded by a little kid.

Although Xie Xuzhi was wrapped up like a mummy, he had survived the most dangerous moment and was now fully conscious.

It's just that my throat is injured and I can't make a sound.

Xie Xuzhi blinked a few times. Others might not understand the meaning, but Gu Yuan did. It was clear that the boss was questioning him about what he had done wrong.

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He was willing to die for Xie Xuzhi, but he would never let Xie Xuzhi take the blame!
He immediately said confidently, "Boss, what exactly did you do to offend Yun Ran that made her stop answering my calls and even get sarcastic remarks from her little apprentice!"

Before I came back, we got along really well; she's definitely not angry with me!

Xie Xuzhi was so angry at Gu Yuan's words that he laughed. How could he not know that he had offended Yun Ran?

Having just returned from the brink of death, he was too grateful to Yun Ran to possibly offend her!

He blinked rapidly a few times, indicating his doubt about Gu Yuan's words. He must be unreliable and had offended Yun Ran without her knowledge!

The accusation was huge and heavy, and Gu Yuan jumped up in anger. Even though his boss was lying here, he wouldn't let him suffer an injustice.

"Yun Ran is my half-sister, I'm so protective of her, how could I possibly offend her? It definitely wasn't me!"
The apprentice just said that the Special Administration Bureau has more than just Ranran, yet they only use her, clearly because they think she's doing too much work.

I also think Ranran's workload is a bit too heavy. The compensation you gave her before was not enough. You were just as stingy as a landlord.

I suggest that at the end of the year, we apply for a special contribution award for Ranran, with the prize money calculated according to the General Administration's annual standards..."

Gu Yuan spoke more and more fluently, feeling as if he were the embodiment of justice! Gu Yuan had previously secretly hidden away and cried because he was worried that Xie Xuzhi would die from serious injuries.

Now that Xie Xuzhi is out of danger, the scales in his heart immediately tipped, and he felt he had to get some benefits for his little sister Ranran...

Xie Xuzhi looked at Gu Yuan, who was clearly going off-topic, and closed her eyes wearily.

His only intention was to have Gu Yuan ask Yun Ran how she was doing, whether she was injured, or if she had encountered any trouble...

Only when he was in that desperate situation did he realize how extraordinary Rong Gu's methods were.

Yun Ran must have taken a great risk to break through Rong Gu's restrictions and even kill Rong Gu's Azure Dragon, forcibly pulling him back from the brink of death.

Although he was in agony during that process, he survived it and still felt that being alive was good.

Who would have thought that Gu Yuan couldn't even handle such a small matter, and now he still has the mood to argue with him about these nonsense? How could he treat Yun Ran poorly?

Seeing that his eldest brother had closed his eyes to rest, Gu Yuan felt embarrassed to continue arguing. He could only sit next to him and rack his brains to figure out why Yun Ran was ignoring him.

The little paper figure crouching in the corner raised its head, which was clearly filled with sadness.

It knew why its owner disliked Director Xie and Gu Yuan, but since neither of them asked it, it might not be appropriate for it to suddenly interrupt; it would seem ill-mannered.

He immediately lowered his head again, continuing to look at the broken Thunder Pearl in his hand, and then touched the cracks on his body.

If it weren't for the golden light of merit bestowed upon it by its master, and the fact that its body had been tempered by heavenly lightning, it would probably be shattered into pieces like the Heavenly Lightning Pearl by now.

The little paper dog's grievances welled up again; it had been beaten up, and it had embarrassed its master...

Gu Yuan was still racking his brains trying to figure out what he had done to offend Yun Ran, and he didn't even think to ask the little paper doll. That's how he completely missed the right answer.

Ginseng Fruit hung up the phone, humming a little tune, and happily went to clean the medicine pot.

This posture clearly shows that he is very happy. He used to be scolded by the host all the time, but now he scolds others, which feels really good.

Yunran checked the dragon spirit's absorption of the dragon essence and then examined the defensive talisman that had been destroyed by the raging dragon essence.

He then replenished his defensive talismans before resuming meditation and breath control.

By the next day, Yunran's injuries had mostly healed, and her complexion was completely normal.

The dragon spirit, not far away, was still absorbing dragon essence, and the water dragon formed by water droplets surrounding him was getting bigger and bigger.

The ginseng fruit was puzzled: "Host, Xie Xuzhi survived, so why did the dragon spirit only absorb a small portion of the dragon essence? Is he not even as good as an ordinary person?"

"Most of the dragon essence absorbed by Xie Xuzhi was used to counteract Rong Gu's evil magic. Similar things merge, so it's naturally faster."

Although the amount of dragon essence absorbed by the dragon spirit appears to be only nine times that of Xie Xuzhi, in terms of energy, the energy absorbed by the dragon spirit is thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger, and it is also mutually destructive.

If I hadn't used defensive talismans to set up an array to resist, that energy could have easily overturned this sea area.

Judging from the current situation, it would be considered fast if the dragon spirit could absorb all this energy within a month.
