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

Chapter 573 Using Oneself as a Raft

Long Ling looked at Yun Ran, then at the 'little brother' crawling on the ground, and suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

He's the old guy who's lived for thousands of years, so why does he keep stumbling over a tiny human who's only lived for a few decades?

"I feel like you don't really want me to help you."

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at Long Ling with a half-smile: "You're only just realizing that?"

Then his expression suddenly changed, and he sneered fiercely: "I thought you were going to fly to the moon, doing whatever you want, just because you want to. Who do you think you are?"
Did I say I needed your help? Or are you trying to stand on some moral high ground and play the role of my savior?

Long Ling's already tightly furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that his good intentions would provoke Yun Ran to such a great anger.

"Did you eat gunpowder?"

Yunran knew that if she didn't make things clear, given Long Ling's personality, he definitely wouldn't let it go.

"You are a being who has lived for thousands of years, and you are a lawless creature who does not understand the rules that the human world must abide by."

I forced you into a contract in the first place to control your behavior. Later, when you successfully possessed someone else's body, I went to great lengths to give you an identity.

I've paved the way for your future, so I don't ask for anything in return. I just hope you can behave yourself and not act impulsively!
Now, someone has already set their sights on me, and the fact that I am possessed by a vengeful spirit has probably already spread.

If, at this point, those people discover that the resentment that others find impossible to deal with is nothing more than a piece of cake for me, do you think I'll have any peace of mind left?

Even though Xie Xuzhi is now the head of the Special Administration Bureau, Yun Ran doesn't fully trust him.

They have a good relationship now, which is great, but what if they have a conflict in the future?

Who knows, this dragon spirit might become a reason to punish her, a classic case of "possessing a treasure is a crime"!
Long Ling wasn't really stupid; she quickly understood what Yun Ran meant.

He immediately frowned: "Are you worried that someone is trying to harm you, and that I might be part of it?"

Long Ling originally intended to help Yun Ran, but she never imagined that many of the things Yun Ran possessed were already extraordinary.

Since no one had noticed her before, Yun Ran could naturally enjoy herself.

But this time, she emerged from the Death Mountain and even fought against those old monsters who had been living in seclusion for many years.

Yun Ran didn't believe that those old monsters, and the person who led He Tu to her, would just stop.

Those people will definitely be watching her from somewhere where no one can see them.

With the Xie and Wang families of Kyoto as her backers, and the Special Administration Bureau having a good relationship with her, she has now even built the Qingfeng Temple...

All of these achievements would be considered meritorious deeds by any disciple of a prominent Taoist family.

But if all of this were to happen to Yun Ran, it could very well be like cooking oil over a hot fire; if she's not careful, she could be set up and buried alive.

Yunran had witnessed firsthand the baseness and darkness of human nature. In truth, sometimes, the human heart is more terrifying than any demon or monster.

"So, you're trying to lower your own heat so that those who envy, are jealous of, and hate you will see that you're possessed by resentment and are about to die?"
That way, not only will those people stop plotting against you, but they'll also secretly rejoice, and might even pretend to be magnanimous and comfort you?

Long Ling had always known that Yun Ran was cunning, but he never expected that Yun Ran could be this cunning, even more so than those seasoned veterans.

No wonder he always had a vague feeling that Yun Ran had a powerful junior uncle behind her, so how could she be helpless against this resentment possessing her?

This caused him to rush over in a great hurry, and he was extremely anxious. So this is what they mean by "the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."

"I received news that your Qingfeng Temple is about to hold its opening ceremony?"

Thinking of this, Long Ling couldn't help but curse inwardly: A swindler, a complete swindler!!!

At this time, it was rumored that Yun Ran was possessed by the resentment of a demon spirit. In the eyes of others, this meant that she was definitely going to be put on the Book of Life and Death.

Moreover, Yunran was doing this to eliminate a scourge! Under these circumstances, who among those invited to Yunran's opening ceremony would have the nerve to say a single unpleasant word or offer anything that was beneath them?
Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will be looked down upon by everyone.

After all, at this time, everyone should be mindful of appearances, especially given the principle of "respect for the deceased."

He could plan ten steps ahead for every one he took, using himself as a raft, getting himself involved, and even calculating everyone's reactions, all while making a huge profit for himself.

The key point is that this lowered everyone's guard against Yun Ran, and at the same time, it ensured that everyone greeted her with smiles, guaranteeing that her grand opening ceremony would proceed without any unexpected incidents...

Long Ling silently gave Yun Ran a thumbs up: "Now I feel a little sorry for those who want to oppose you or even scheme against you."

You've swindled them out of their underwear, and those guys are probably still gloating, thinking they've hit the jackpot.

Now, Long Ling feels that she was dragged onto the pirate ship step by step by Yun Ran, and now she is too embarrassed to do anything bad, so she feels that she was really not wronged.

"Good to know. Now, go wherever it's cool!"

Since Yun Ran was up to something, Long Ling naturally didn't need to worry about anything and turned to leave.

After the dragon spirit disappeared, the little paper figure asked Yunran with some confusion, "Master, why did you remind him?"

Yun Ran smiled faintly: "Of course, I don't want him to disrupt my plans. At the same time, it's also to deter him, even if Junior Uncle terminates the symbiotic contract between us."

After absorbing the Fire Dragon's essence, his strength increased greatly, but if I wanted to, I could torment him as easily as tormenting a dog.

"I need to keep a knife hanging over his head at all times, so he knows that since he's taken over a human body, he has to abide by the rules of humanity. I'll be watching him all the time, forever!"

The little paper doll thought that its master was really powerful. So what if it was a dragon spirit? It still couldn't escape its master's palm!
After Long Ling left, she looked back at the small courtyard from afar.

He immediately snorted coldly: "It's only because I'm magnanimous that I'm not bothering with you. If anyone else dared to talk back to this Dragon King like this, I'd twist their head off!"

The sea turtle, slowly crawling on the ground, trembled upon hearing the words "head twisted off" and immediately shoved its head back into its shell.
