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

Chapter 986 Sigh, this is the trouble of being a divine artifact~
Seeing this scene, Yun Ran remained expressionless, the little paper doll wore a mocking expression, and only the tree spirit and the spirit of the divine cauldron were utterly astonished.

Yun Ran glanced at the little paper figure: "Go see what's going on!"

"Okay, Master~"

This protective shield prevents outsiders from entering, but the little paper doll whose power comes from Yunran can easily pass through it.

Seeing that the previously sturdy protective shield was now becoming increasingly thin, the tree spirit couldn't help but continue to disguise itself.

No matter what comes in from the outside, it cannot let the other party discover that it is a tree that has become a spirit.

Under normal circumstances, its existence is quite nourishing, especially for those spirits and monsters, it is a great tonic.

That's right, at this moment, although the tree spirit hasn't seen what was attacking the protective shield from the outside, it definitely wasn't a human!

The tree spirit, who previously thought that life and death weren't that important, had its small ball formed by the power of time rules beneath its roots taken away by Yun Ran.

The tree spirit suddenly realized that being alive was actually quite nice.

As for the spirit of the divine cauldron, it looked up at the sky with a somewhat blank expression. When it was in the temple before, the surrounding sounds were very quiet.

Even when the servants of the gods came to clean it, the sound was almost inaudible.

It can be said that in the mind of the spirit of the divine cauldron, there has never been a sound that could overpower its own.

At this moment, the loud noise just now had really startled it.

The little paper figure emerged from the protective shield, looked outside, and quickly sensed a very domineering aura.

However, the owner of that aura seemed to have been injured after colliding with the protective shield, and quickly retreated.

The reason why the little paper figure knows so much is naturally because this aura bears the marks it left behind.

After identifying the source of the aura, the little paper figure returned to the protective shield.

He immediately began to complain: "Master, this power comes from those people you asked me to investigate before. They probably discovered us too."

They must be injured now. Should I go and arrest them?

Yun Ran waved her hand: "No need, just wait for them to come to us. Go find the ginseng fruit!"

Previously, she had sent Ginseng Fruit to find these people, and now they have all come to her door, but Ginseng Fruit has not shown up to stop them.

The little paper figure paused for a moment, then remembered that its master had asked the eldest to go find these people...

"Master, I'll go right away!"

The little paper figure vanished in a flash.

Now, only two paper figures remain in the courtyard, and Yunran once again feels that there aren't enough people.

Unfortunately, her soul can only control so many paper figures now; any more than that and she can't.

Otherwise, Yunran would have already refined another hundred or eighty paper figures for use.

Compared to other people, Yunran still felt that the little paper dolls she created from her own soul were more useful.

The protective shield looks much more transparent than before, but at least it's still holding up.

After being startled, the spirit of the divine cauldron began to worry that if its aura was exposed, it would attract countless people to kill and plunder its treasure.

After all, it used to live in a temple atop a snow-capped mountain, and no one dared to covet it.

Now that it has fallen to the mortal realm, there will surely be many, many people who want to fight over it.

Ah, that's the trouble of being a divine artifact~
While the spirit of the divine cauldron was still reveling in its own glory, Yun Ran took out another stack of talismans. With a flick of her wrist, the talismans seemed to come alive.

Each one, perfectly aware of its own place, automatically flew to its designated spot, and then, at the same moment, they all lit up.

In an instant, the protective shield, which had previously appeared somewhat transparent and precarious, became thick again.

It looked thicker than a wall, giving people a very reliable sense of security.

Great Tree Spirit: ...

Uh, that's embarrassing. All that tension and wariness was for nothing!

The spirit of the divine cauldron was also embarrassed for a moment. Just now it was worried that its aura had been leaked out, which would attract many people who would kill and plunder the treasure.

Yunran glanced at the spirit of the divine cauldron, as if she could hear its inner thoughts.

Then he lowered his eyelids and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone find you before I figure out your identity."

These words should have put the spirit of the divine cauldron at ease, but for some reason, they sounded strange again.

This wasn't the first time I'd felt this way, but looking at Yunran, she didn't seem like any extraordinary human being.

If the tree spirit knew this, it would definitely roll its eyes.

Then, he silently complained to himself: Is this even an ordinary person? He's been in the temple for so long that he doesn't know how fragile ordinary people really are!
After the little paper figure left the protective shield, it quickly found him by following the scent of the ginseng fruit.

"Boss, what are you doing here?"

Ginseng Fruit was also confused by the little paper doll's question: "Of course I'm here to keep an eye on those people, no, how did you get here?"

Others might not be able to distinguish the paper figures; in their eyes, each paper figure looks the same.

But this is different for the ginseng fruit; it can distinguish each little paper figure.

Therefore, looking at the little paper figure that appeared in front of him, he knew very well that this little paper figure was the one that had been following Yun Ran all along.

The little paper figure quickly recounted what had happened.

"Boss, you've been watching them here, haven't you noticed they're attacking our courtyard?"

Even though that little courtyard is rented and is only a temporary place to stay, in the hearts of the paper figures, that is their home.

These people actually attacked the courtyard with such domineering and powerful force.

If the owner hadn't set up a protective shield, that immense power would have razed the courtyard to the ground.

This infuriated the little paper figure. If anyone dared to raze its home, it would skin them alive!
Ginseng fruit: ...

He had been keeping an eye on things the whole time, and he was quite certain that none of the people here had ever left.

More importantly, he didn't sense any fluctuation of power at all.

He genuinely couldn't believe that these people could attack the courtyard from such a distance.

But since it was the little paper figure who said this, Ginseng Fruit had no choice but to believe it.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

The little paper figure nodded quickly; it had also noticed the shock in its leader's expression.

It was a fact, but now that they've checked the accounts, they don't match up. How scary is that!
