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

Chapter 429 Don't push me to lose my temper and slap you!

Old Zhou in the garden also received the news. He frowned slightly and then sighed softly.

Although I had known for a long time that the husband and the old lady were at odds, I still felt extremely sad when the day actually came.

Who could have imagined that the person the gentleman once trusted and respected most would now become his mortal enemy?

His gaze swept behind him to the somewhat aged body, which stood as sturdy as a pine tree.

No matter what happens, he will stay here to the death as long as the door to this courtyard remains closed.

Although the masked shadows are slower to react than normal people, their perception of murderous intent is extraordinary.

Especially now, they could clearly sense the killing intent, but they couldn't pinpoint its source, which made them somewhat agitated.

Yun Ran remained completely unaffected by the outside world, her gaze fixed on the remnant soul whose shoulders were now exposed.

At this moment, the incense sticks had already burned down to about half their length, and more than a dozen grains of the golden light of merit had also burned.

"Truly worthy of being a spirit puppet created by my Qingfeng Temple, its self-control is truly exceptional!"

These things may not seem like many, but they are all excellent items, more than enough for invoking spirits and asking questions of ghosts.

Even Mo Zhi, who had accumulated merit and become a ghost general, couldn't resist the fragrance and had to knock himself unconscious to control it.

At this moment, Yun Ran was somewhat relieved that what was clinging to Wang Mian was a remnant soul; otherwise, she really would have had no choice but to use the small cleansing bottle.

Perhaps it was because it had absorbed more green smoke, but the remnant soul became a little smarter. It shrank back, its shoulders sank in, leaving only its neck sticking out.

Yunran was speechless. This kind of personality—wanting to run away after eating—was just so much like her unreliable martial uncle.
"You ate my food and now you want to run away? Don't you think you're taking me too lightly?"

As she spoke, Yun Ran flung out a pure white satin ribbon, which immediately wrapped around the remnant soul's neck and pulled it outwards with force.

Uh (⊙o⊙)…, that's a bit embarrassing, it didn't move at all.

This has never happened before. After eating her fragrance, and getting entangled in the snow satin she specially used to capture spirit puppets, it was impossible to pull it off!
Alright, that's confirmed now. She can only catch her junior uncle's spirit puppet; as for others, even her master's, she can catch them all in one go.

"Get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude to you. Don't think that just because you have your junior uncle as your backer, I'm afraid of you. This is another small world, and your junior uncle can't protect you!"

Yunran knew that the spirit puppet could understand her words, but it clearly did not want to listen to Yunran and struggled hard, wanting to return to Wang Mian's body.

"You dare to argue with me, huh? Don't think that just because you're a remnant soul now, I'll feel sorry for you. Believe me or not, I'll stuff you into a wooden doll!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran took out a very ugly wooden figure and used it to frighten the spirit puppet in front of her.

The snow-white silk swayed slightly, and Yunran knew that the spirit puppet had finally been frightened by her. The power that had been fighting against her suddenly disappeared at this moment.

"It's good that you're scared. Hurry up and come out, or I'll make you lose your temper and slap you!"

After saying that, Yun Ran pulled hard again, and this time, the remnant soul was easily dragged out by Yun Ran.

If this guy doesn't like her, it'll be really hard to catch him.

If she ever has the chance to go back in the future, she must suggest to her junior uncle that such stubborn spirit puppets should be locked up!
However, when the full appearance of the remnant soul was revealed, Yun Ran's expression immediately changed from disdain to heartache.

The remnant soul only had half a leg, and its arm was also incomplete, clearly having been forcibly torn apart like this.

What immense power it must have taken to tear the spirit puppet to pieces like this! No wonder the remnant soul's aura was so unstable.

If it hadn't been for that instrument orchestrated by the Wang family, it would probably have vanished long ago. Just as he was thinking this, a deafening thunderclap exploded in the sky, the sound clearly containing the boundless wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

Yunran: ...

Alright, alright. She was originally someone that Heaven rejected, and it was only with great difficulty that she managed to patch up some of the bugs in her destiny by relying on the golden light of merit.

Now, another remnant soul from the outside world has squeezed into the small world, and it's even related to Yun Ran.

It's easy to guess how furious Heaven is right now; it probably won't be satisfied until it's torn her to pieces.

With lightning speed, Yun Ran inserted the last golden feather, which was now only half-powered, into the remnant soul's head.

Remnant Soul: ...

It already only had half a head left, and now it has another hole.

The power accumulated by the heavenly lightning was enough to destroy everything within a radius of a hundred miles, and Yun Ran naturally did not want the living beings within that radius to be implicated by her.

He immediately drew out the golden light of merit from his body used to repair his destiny, drew it into a Bagua formation, and then struck the ground with his palm.

The mountains in this area were originally imbued with spirit, and when Yunran forcibly placed them into a merit Bagua formation, they were immediately activated.

Those signs of life quickly overshadowed the remnant soul's aura, and with the golden feather's protection, the heavenly lightning lost its target.

A lot of the golden light of merit was drawn away, and Yunran's face turned a little pale. Fortunately, there was a rich vitality here.

Yunran sat cross-legged on the ground and regulated her breathing for a while before she recovered.

Yun Ran, with her eyes closed, sensed a gaze that did not belong to the remnant soul falling upon her. When she opened her eyes, she met Wang Mian, who had sat up at some point.

"Who are you? Did you save me?"

Yunran: ...

If she hadn't almost completely drained herself just now, she would probably retort now: "If it wasn't me, who else could it be? If you go blind, just donate your eyes!"

Perhaps it was Yun Ran's gaze that was so speechless that Wang Mian couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

He frowned, feeling that since waking up this time, he seemed to have some strange memories in his mind.

For example, he had never seen this little girl before, yet she could appear in his room alone without any pretense.

Logically, he should have immediately sent someone to arrest the girl.

But, for some reason, when he had this question, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

He seemed to see the little girl in front of him, all the naughty things she did, like climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles, but he couldn't bear to be angry at all.

He would get very angry just thinking about someone trying to mess with this little girl right under his nose.

It was as if this little girl was his most beloved child.

The strange memory plunged Wang Mian into silence, his head buzzing.
