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

Chapter 893 Being a person is really tiring~
The little paper figure became anxious upon hearing this. If this place were to self-destruct, even if the people here were protected by magical artifacts, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.

Long Ling's expression also changed slightly, but she was not as worried as the little paper doll.

Before it completely self-destructs, he still has a way to protect the people here and help them evacuate.

However, this means that the secrets of this underground palace will likely be completely hidden.

Originally, Long Ling didn't care much about these things, but Yun Ran did.

If the underground palace were to be destroyed right under his nose, Long Ling had no doubt that Yun Ran would definitely pin the blame on him.

Furthermore, they would speak ill of him in front of their master.

The thought that she had finally gotten the chance to learn from her master and that there might be setbacks made Long Ling somewhat defensive.

"I'll take you out of here first!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Special Administration Bureau nodded in agreement.

At this point, anyone who dares to talk back will definitely get beaten up.

The little paper figure wasn't idle either; it opened its mouth and said to the person behind it, "I'll go in and see what happened."

Although those hidden weapons deal significant damage to magical artifacts.

However, the paper doll itself is just a thin piece of paper, and it can easily pass through any gaps.

These hidden weapons, falling like rain, had gaps in the middle large enough for it to pass through safely.

Long Ling knew the little paper doll's abilities, nodded, and then dragged all the Special Administration Bureau personnel out.

When everyone came out, they saw that all the other people who were originally being tested outside were lying on the ground.

They had already thoroughly searched most of the underground palace beforehand.

Apart from those who died from internal strife, there were no other living beings left.

"Who ambushed them!"

"Could there be a black-robed figure or a powerful demon hiding here?"

"Go quickly and see how they are!"

……

The Special Administration officers rushed forward to check on their companions' condition.

When they felt their carotid arteries still pulsating, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Xie, they're alright, they just fainted, and judging from their appearance, they've probably been poisoned!"

As he spoke, the man quickly took out antidote pills from his first-aid kit and fed them to the people lying on the ground.

These medicines were all based on formulas that Xie Xuzhi bought from Yun Ran at a high price.

Of course, this has been modified.

The version provided by Yunran does indeed have amazing effects, but it is not suitable for large-scale refining.

First, the supply of medicinal materials is insufficient; second, the people who refine the medicinal materials are completely incomparable to Yun Ran in terms of ability.

Therefore, they could only produce a mass-produced version, but even this was much more effective than the previous antidote pills.

Not long after the medicine was taken, those who had been lying on the ground began to show signs of waking up.

Long Ling kept her eyes fixed on the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for the little paper figure to come out.

If the self-destruct mechanism has indeed been activated here, then he will have no choice but to release all the remaining power in the ice ball and freeze the entire underground palace.

Xie Xuzhi's gaze shifted to the secret passage after the people from the Special Administration Bureau who had fainted woken up. He glanced at Long Ling before asking, "Are you planning to turn this place into a land of ice and snow?"

Long Ling was not surprised at all that Xie Xuzhi had guessed what she wanted to do.

Since he successfully possessed a human body and started wandering the world as a human, he has encountered two humans who are so clever and cunning that they are unbearable.

One is Yun Ran, and the other is Xie Xuzhi, who is standing in front of us.

But perhaps it was because Long Ling and Yun Ran had a symbiotic contract, and Long Ling was determined to learn from her junior master.

Long Ling subconsciously considered herself to be the same kind of person as Yun Ran.

As for Xie Xuzhi in front of him, Long Ling felt more wariness and apprehension.

If outsiders knew that he, the mighty Dragon King, was actually wary of a human who knew absolutely no mystical arts, he would probably be laughed at by many people.

But the truth is, he really didn't want to get close to this person who could mobilize countless resources.

Even those powerful figures in the mystical sects might not be able to wield the Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Dragon-Locking Chain.

Xie Xuzhi could easily take out the items and then use them on him.

That's why Long Ling never really liked Xie Xuzhi.

Now, this person has easily guessed his plans again, which makes Long Ling very unhappy.

He always felt that if he had a conflict with Xie Xuzhi in the future, Xie Xuzhi would scheme against him and leave him with nothing but ashes.

They didn't even know how they died.

Some things are fine when you don't think about them, but once you start thinking about them, you just feel uncomfortable.

When Long Ling looked at Xie Xuzhi again, her eyes held an inexplicable dislike.

Xie Xuzhi had no idea that he had simply asked a question.

He made Long Ling imagine so much, and then she simply stopped liking him.

If he knew, he would feel somewhat wronged. His sharp mind was destined from the moment he was born.

As for his meticulous methods, that's a skill and quality he should have as someone in a position of power...

It can only be said that the value of the phrase "likes and dislikes stem from the same cause" is still increasing.

Long Ling didn't particularly like Xie Xuzhi, but she still gave a lukewarm response.

At this point, he still had to stand on the same side as Xie Xuzhi.

If there's anything Long Ling hasn't considered, Xie Xuzhi can help him make up for it.

Whether it was to avoid Yun Ran's disdain or to prevent those young men who called him Brother Long from dying here in vain.

Long Ling sighed again, realizing that since becoming human, he had so many things to worry about; being human was truly exhausting.
The little paper figure came out quickly, its tiny face full of anger.

"Lord Dragon King, Director Xie, the innermost secret passage is indeed showing signs of self-destruction. However, the self-destructing formation seems to have encountered a problem and is stuck."

The little paper figure was truly angry. Inside that enormous space, the dome was covered with sparkling gems, clearly things the owner liked.

But now, half of those gems are destroyed. If their owner saw this, he would be heartbroken.

Even it felt sorry for the owner; so many gems, enough to buy so many things for its owner.

The little paper doll grew angrier the more it thought about it. It hated these kinds of people who would destroy themselves at the slightest provocation. What a waste!
While the little paper figure was still cursing and swearing.

Dragon Spirit suddenly interrupted it: "Say what you just said again."

The little paper doll looked at Long Ling with some confusion, its eyes clearly saying, "Are you deaf?"
