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

Chapter 883 I'd Rather Be a Villain from the Start
"Aww~~, I protest! So many of you are hitting me... Let go... Don't pull my hair... I'm going to report you..."

Long Ling felt pain all over her body. She didn't know how many personal grudges these little paper figures carried, but they were really hitting her hard.

Seeing that Long Ling's cries of pain were gradually subsiding, Yun Ran stopped the little paper figures from throwing punches.

Yun Ran walked up to Long Ling's head and looked down at him: "Still smug now!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

At this moment, in his heart, Yun Ran was the stingiest person he had ever met, without exception.

But he dared not argue with Yun Ran anymore.

All I could manage to say half-heartedly was, "No, no, I'll never do it again."

Yun Ran didn't care whether Long Ling was sincere or not; she just wanted Long Ling to stop being so arrogant.

As for other things, she's not that petty.

The number of people that Junior Martial Aunt has taught is countless. If the line of people calling Junior Martial Aunt "Master" were to be formed, it would outlive her.

Yunran waved her hand.

The little paper figure immediately smiled, helped Long Ling up, and removed the restraints from his body, as if they had never had any grudges against each other from beginning to end.

"You've formed a pact with the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower, so you must have already guessed our true origins through it. If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, you'd better keep a low profile in the future!"

Long Ling originally wanted to roll her eyes at Yun Ran.

Upon hearing Yun Ran's whispered warning, his body suddenly stiffened.

Clearly, Yunran guessed correctly.

Long Ling truly knew their origins, but she was just pretending not to.

Therefore, he couldn't avoid this beating at all; it was clearly Yun Ran's way of warning him.

The mischievous expression on Long Ling's face was gone; she looked much more serious now.

Do you think I'm the kind of person who lacks discretion and would betray you?

Yunran never gambles on people's hearts, because in the end, she always loses.

Therefore, she would rather be the villain from the start.

"The Demon-Locking Tower has already been sealed with the Qingfeng Temple's restrictions by Junior Uncle. Since you have formed a pact with the spirit, it is equivalent to being subject to the Qingfeng Temple's restrictions as well."

Furthermore, the Demon-Sealing Tower itself is with me. If you want to cause trouble, I can control you anytime!

Dragon Spirit: ...

He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and the benefits were the same.

After forming a pact with the spirit of the Demon-Sealing Tower, he clearly felt that his strength had reached a new level.

Now, however, he is told that this benefit also has limitations.

It's like someone has something on you...

Long Ling was furious for a moment, then said dejectedly, "I'm not stupid, I don't need you to teach me!"

Although she had expressed her feelings, Long Ling still felt somewhat sad.

In the past, whenever Yun Ran encountered any danger, he was never the first to rush to help.
In the end, he was still the one who was most guarded against. Alas, people's hearts have changed.
Long Ling finally quieted down, no longer displaying the smug look she had when she forcibly established the master-disciple relationship with Yun Ran.

Having grown accustomed to Long Ling's arrogant demeanor, Ren Shenguo was now struck by his drooping head, slumped shoulders, and overall listless appearance.

For some inexplicable reason, I felt a pang of sympathy.

Poor thing, he tried to outsmart his host, and now look what happened, he's been so crushed he's questioning his existence.

At the same time, the little paper figure following Xie Xuzhi sensed Yun Ran and the others when they came out.

There was a sudden restlessness: "Director Xie, my master has come out, when are we going back!" After everyone's tireless efforts, they finally found the secret passage of the underground palace.

Right now, Xie Xuzhi is leading the Special Administration Bureau team to decipher the mechanisms outside this secret passage.

As for the black-robed men and great demons who died around them, they have all turned into a field of white bones.

Xie Xuzhi looked at the somewhat anxious little paper figure, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you go find her first?"

Given the current situation, it is clearly not appropriate for Xie Xuzhi to leave.

A very human-like expression of inner turmoil immediately appeared on the little paper figure's tiny face.

They wanted to see their owner immediately, but they also remembered that their owner had instructed them to protect Director Xie.

There seems to be no danger here, but who knows what's inside that secret passage?

After hesitating for a while, the little paper doll made up its mind.

The master's orders are more important; their desire to see the master is their personal emotion and should be taken a backseat.

"Let's stay here and observe for now, and figure out what's going on inside before making any decisions."

Xie Xuzhi looked at the little paper figure that had already made its decision and said nothing more.

He was very sensible; except for necessary matters, he always showed the little paper figure absolute respect.

The white tiger was crouching not far from them; if anyone was to say who was the biggest contributor to finding this place, it was the white tiger.

If Xie Xuzhi and his group hadn't sensed the presence of a large number of subordinates here, they wouldn't have been able to find this place so quickly.

Now, naturally, they immediately sensed Yunran's presence.

However, compared to the little paper doll's happy mood, the white tiger's mood was exceptionally bad at this moment.

I can't explain why, I'm just inexplicably irritable.

I always felt that with the emergence of that ruthless woman Yunran, there was just one more person lording it over others.

The more Baihu thought about it, the more upset he felt.

It was tricked and locked up back then, and no one has ever been able to ride on its back so naturally.

Just then, a crack appeared in the stone door of the secret passage.

The Special Administration Bureau personnel immediately broke into delighted smiles: "Director Xie, the trap has been breached!"

This secret passage is so well hidden; there must be some powerful methods waiting inside.

Xie Xuzhi immediately warned, "Be careful of traps or poison gas!"

The Special Administration Bureau staff nodded repeatedly, then began rummaging through their bags, taking out professional gas masks.

The little paper figure looked at the slit that could only be passed through by a single finger.

In addition, there was an eagerness to see the owner.

He quickly stepped forward to offer his opinion: "Let me go scout ahead!"

In any case, whether there are traps or poisonous gas, it cannot be harmed.

As for whether there are any gravity devices inside, they pose no threat to its already light and airy paper doll body.

The little paper doll that can emit crackling lightning is absolutely the most perfect exploration tool in those dangerous areas.

Xie Xuzhi naturally saw through the little paper doll's eagerness and understood the real reason behind it.

Of course, there's no reason to stop it.

"Okay, then be careful. If you encounter anything suspicious, get out immediately!"
