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

Chapter 884 A Strange Sense of Balance (2 Updates)
If even the little paper figures cannot escape from danger, then none of the people present here will be able to escape either.

The little paper figure darted inside in a flash.

As soon as you enter, the stone walls inside spew out high-pressure flames. Any carbon-based creature would be instantly killed if it faced with such flames.

The little paper doll felt its bottom getting a little hot, patted it twice, and continued flying forward.

After flying through the first secret passage, the little paper figure touched its forehead, making a tired expression.

Then he looked back and saw that the channel was still spewing fire, and the flames had not diminished in the slightest.

It seems that once those mechanisms are activated, they won't stop unless their energy is completely depleted.

"Luckily, I was the one who got in. If anyone else had come in, tsk tsk tsk, they would have been wiped out!"

Those waiting outside did not personally experience the danger inside.

However, they were still able to see part of what was happening inside through that small crack.

In particular, the interior suddenly became bright, and even standing outside, you could feel the temperature rise abruptly.

The person who had wanted to be the first to rush in couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the scene before him.

Fortunately, he didn't overestimate himself and try to compete with the little paper figure; otherwise, he would have really become a laughing stock.

However, they are young people after all, unlike those old hands who are indifferent to things that don't concern them.

The man's face immediately showed a worried expression: "Will the little paper doll be alright? These flames look very different."
This temperature is probably beyond what ordinary flames can reach. Even from this distance, we can feel its terrifying power…

People who weren't initially worried suddenly felt their hearts jump when they heard these words.

"This little paper figure is the magic weapon of Abbot Yun. It should be impervious to water and fire, so it should be fine... right?"

The speaker's tone clearly carried a hint of uncertainty, even from himself.

"But there's nothing we can do to help right now."

None of the ritual implements and tools they brought were resistant to intense fire and high temperatures.

Just then, Long Ling's high-pitched voice came from not far away.

"I told you, no one else gets lost, but I never do. I could find this place with my eyes closed!"

Ever since the people from the Special Administration Bureau learned about Long Ling's true identity, he no longer intended to hide it.

It transformed directly into a dragon and dragged Yunran and the ginseng fruit over.

The White Tiger looked at the Dragon Spirit flying in mid-air, and Yun Ran on the Dragon Spirit's back.

A strange sense of balance instantly dispelled the restlessness in his heart that he couldn't suppress.

This feeling is something that no other person, or even a different species, could achieve.

Clearly, the White Tiger placed the Dragon Spirit in the same position as himself.

If it were to be used as a mount by the ruthless woman Yun Ran, it would be a very shameful thing, and a thing that would go against the ancestors.

However, if there were other dragon spirits of the same level as Yun Ran using them as mounts, then this embarrassment would not be unique.

With his mood improved, Baihu finally had the leisure to leisurely observe the people from the Special Administration Bureau, who looked so eager.

Sure enough, when you calm yourself down, watching other people's impatience becomes an interesting thing.

"Brother Long! You're back!"

Upon hearing Long Ling's voice, many people turned their gazes towards him.

Naturally, they saw the true form of the dragon spirit. As for the fact that he was used as Yunran's mount, everyone tacitly pretended not to see it.

The dragon spirit landed, transformed back into human form, and coughed lightly.

Then he nodded with an air of superiority: "Mm." Ginseng Fruit muttered to himself, "That show of bravado deserves full marks."

The others, upon meeting Yun Ran's gaze, immediately became much more respectful and cautious: "Master Yun."

Yunran had a good relationship with the Special Administration Bureau before, and later, it took off directly.

Any ambitious young person in the Special Administration Bureau would be admired from the bottom of their heart.

Later, Yunran accomplished many great things, and the Special Administration Bureau often had to ask Yunran for help.

Despite being significantly younger than them, Yun Ran managed to maintain the identity of Abbot Yun.

Nowadays, anyone with a modicum of sense who wants to befriend Yun Ran respectfully addresses her as Master Yun.

This is why they didn't react excessively when they saw their respected Brother Long being used as a mount by Yun Ran.

If it were anyone else, let alone using Brother Long as a mount, they would rush up and tear their mouths apart if they said even one bad word about Brother Long.

Yun Ran smiled and nodded in response to them.

His attitude was much kinder than before when he was with Long Ling.

However, the people from the Special Administration Bureau did not dare to take advantage of Yun Ran's friendly attitude and remained somewhat reserved.

"Have you found the master control of this underground palace?"

When it came to serious matters, the people who were a little reserved just now immediately became professional.

In a few quick movements, he explained the situation here, and also mentioned that the little paper figure had gone in to scout the way.

As the speaker continued speaking, a hint of guilt appeared on his face.

That little paper figure is Yunran's magical artifact.

The task of scouting ahead was originally theirs, but it was entrusted to the little paper figure instead.

They were already a little embarrassed before, but now that they were in front of the person in question, they felt even more ashamed.

Upon hearing how dangerous the secret passage was, Yun Ran hadn't reacted yet, but Long Ling frowned first.

"I gonna go see!"

The people from the Special Administration Bureau had important business on their minds. After greeting Yun Ran, they followed behind Long Ling, intending to check on the situation.

After the crowd dispersed, Yunran finally saw Xie Xuzhi standing not far away.

Previously, while trapped inside the Demon-Sealing Tower, I had no awareness of the passage of time.

However, Yunran didn't feel that much time had passed. But now, looking at Xie Xuzhi, she saw that he looked much more haggard and had lost a lot of weight.

"I'm glad you're alright."

Xie Xuzhi's sudden remark left Yun Ran somewhat bewildered; it didn't sound like something Xie Xuzhi would say.

In a flash, Yunran realized that her junior uncle had helped them form a bond.

"You sensed I was in trouble before?"

Xie Xuzhi nodded and recounted what he had sensed, including how easily the collar around the white tiger's neck had been knocked off.

Upon hearing that the collar had been removed, Yunran's eyes lit up immediately.

Where is the collar?

“The little paper dolls you raised are all very family-oriented.”
