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

Chapter 457 The frustration won't disappear, but it can be redirected.

Xuan Chu was speechless for a moment. Although he still couldn't fully understand Yun Ran's situation, he had indeed been a little angry just now.

When Yun Ran looked at him with a half-smile, Xuan Chu decisively chose to remain silent.

When Yun Ran made her move, she really went all out, and now that unpleasant feeling of frustration has finally been released.

In a better mood, Yunran straightened her clothes, hummed a song, and turned to walk out of the ancestral hall, intending to check the situation in the vicinity.

No one dared to stop Yunran until her figure disappeared.

Baji lowered his head, pretending to be intently looking at the tips of his shoes, and forcefully acted as if he were an outsider.

Xuan Chu took a deep breath, suppressing the suffocating feeling that Yun Ran had transferred onto him, before touching the places on his body that Yun Ran had hit.

A strange suspicion arose in his mind. Given Yunran's abilities, the reason she had brought him here was probably because she needed his help.

She's probably just deliberately messing with him because she feels resentful.

When Yunran came out, those who had been hiding behind the door saw only a little girl named Yunran.

He then stepped out of the door, his face showing a mixture of caution and curiosity.

"Little girls, are you lost in the mountains?"

The people here have lived on the mountain for generations, even though the school and relevant leaders at the foot of the mountain have come to persuade them to move down many times.

But these people still couldn't get used to life down the mountain, so in the end they only sent their children down the mountain.

Seeing a little girl about the same age as their child, and who had been brought back by the village chief, their wariness lessened somewhat.

Yunran smiled and looked at the person who was talking to her, nodding slightly: "Yes, I didn't expect the snow on the mountain to be so heavy, I got lost."

Upon hearing this, the old woman who was speaking immediately agreed and quickly said, "That's right, the weather has been getting worse and worse in recent years."

When I was a child, the climate on this mountain was wonderful. Snow only fell on the very top of the mountain. The place we lived in was very livable…”

Yunran learned a lot from the old woman.

For example, the snow cover is getting larger and larger, fewer animals are appearing, and there are fewer precious plants and herbs.

In the past, the people in the mountains could make a living by hunting animals and collecting herbs.

These days, the mountain is covered in snow all year round, and they can only make a living with some subsidies.

All these signs led Yunran to conclude that the snow was related to the sealed evil god and the death aura.

The Thunder Squad members, not far away, were guarding the village entrance.

Looking at the tigers that were just like them, staying at the village entrance and not coming in, I was a little doubtful. Are tigers these days so intelligent?

That's not all. Watching Yun Ran chatting and laughing with people from afar, she showed no signs of being a stranger, as if she were someone from the village all along.

This business trip allowed the Thunder team members to constantly redefine their understanding of what's good for them, making them seem truly useless.

One of them hesitated for a moment before looking at his captain with a look of grim determination.

"Captain, after this mission, I plan to stop taking on jobs and go back to base for training."

"Captain, I've been thinking the same thing. I used to think I was pretty good, but now I realize how shallow I really am."

"Captain, I..." Once one person spoke up, the others followed suit, all feeling uneasy, worried that their captain might disagree.

Unexpectedly, the captain, who was being watched by his teammates, suddenly showed a relaxed expression.

"So that's what you all think. That's great. I had the same idea, but I was worried about you all..."

The tiger lay on the ground, yawned, and continued snoring with its eyes half-closed, completely ignoring the few chattering humans beside it.

These 'harmonious' scenes were witnessed by Xuan Chu and Ba Ji as they emerged from the ancestral hall.

If it weren't for the fact that Yun Ran and the people she brought were wearing different clothes.

Xuan Chu felt as if they were already part of the village; they truly didn't treat him like an outsider.

The middle-aged man, who had been instructed by Baji to prepare for receiving the VIPs, came out from the room next door when he heard the commotion.

He said respectfully, "Village Chief, the meal is ready."

The village was small, and you could see the whole thing at a glance. Naturally, the sound reached Yunran's ears as well.

Despite the efforts of Ginseng Fruit and the Thunder Squad to prepare hot food for Yun Ran, it was still just pre-made dry rations.

She was eager to eat some fresh food.

Yun Ran immediately turned her head, her face full of a harmless smile: "You've really gone to a lot of trouble, Village Chief. You're too kind. I'm so sorry..."

Upon hearing that it was time to eat, the tiger lying at the village entrance immediately opened its eyes and stood up, but still did not go directly into the village.

Judging from its appearance, it was clear that it was also part of the meal.

"We've prepared some simple home-cooked meals; we hope our distinguished guests won't mind. This way, please~"

After Baji said "please," Yunran went straight into the house, showing no regard for politeness whatsoever.

Upon entering the house, Yunran saw only a large pot, from which a fragrant aroma was already wafting.

The middle-aged man picked up a basin that was placed next to him and prepared to walk outside. It was full of meat.

Baji quickly said, "This is for Pinecone. Oh, Pinecone is the tiger outside. I picked it up and raised it back then."

They stayed with me to protect everything in the mountains and the villagers. No matter whose family was eating meat, they would prepare a separate basin of pine cones.

There's not much to eat on the mountain, but the best part is that everything is completely natural. This chicken is a free-range chicken raised at home; it tastes quite good. My esteemed guests, please don't be shy about enjoying it."

Yun Ran nodded repeatedly: "Yes, don't worry, I won't be polite."

Then she looked at Xuan Chu: "Eat more, here, all of this is for you!"

As she ate, she skillfully handed Xuan Chu a large chicken leg. She had no choice but to give him something in return, otherwise she would feel embarrassed to ask him to do things later.

Looking at the chicken leg in the bowl, Xuan Chu was now absolutely certain that Yun Ran was definitely the number one person in the world of face-changing.

"I do not want!"

"Look at you, you've come all this way, and you're being so polite with just a chicken leg. I feel so bad about it."

Xuan Chu snorted coldly, since he didn't see Yun Ran being embarrassed at all.

Judging from his current 'humble' demeanor, who would have thought that Yun Ran had recently dealt him a ruthless and deadly blow?
