Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 110 - 109 is truly insatiable greed!

Along the way, Old Liu heard the crunching sounds of munching from the back seat, knowing that Yun Ran was very pleased with the snacks he had bought, and a smile unconsciously curled up at the corner of his mouth.

More than an hour later, Yun Ran suddenly spoke, "Stop the car!"

Looking at the funeral service street ahead, Old Liu’s expression was already very composed, as if he would not be surprised by any place Yun Ran wanted to visit.

Following her senses, Yun Ran stopped in front of a shop that looked like an old-time store.

The proprietor originally had a frown and a sour face. Upon seeing a customer approaching, his spirits did not lift much; his demeanor was not at all like that of someone eager to make money.

"Boss!"

Hearing the voice, the proprietor reluctantly lifted his head, but upon clearly seeing Yun Ran’s face, he perked up as if injected with an adrenaline shot.

"Master, Master!"

Old Liu, following behind, saw the shop owner’s excited charge and immediately stepped forward, blocking the man’s path with his arm.

"Don’t get so excited!"

The shop owner immediately nodded, "Sorry, I just didn’t control my emotions well."

This shop owner was clearly one of the customers from when she had set up a stall during her traveling studies, the man who was troubled by the Shadow Devouring Master.

Originally, Yun Ran did not help him dispel the Devouring Master’s shadow right away, not because she lacked the ability, but because she didn’t have the time to follow this man to the place where the incident occurred.

More importantly, she needed time to ascertain the cause of the Shadow Devouring Master. At that time, she had given the man a talisman, and now enough time had passed.

"Take out the talisman I gave you."

The man quickly and carefully removed the waterproofed talisman from around his neck. His careful demeanor made it clear how much he cherished it.

"Thanks to the talisman you gave me, Master, I was able to have some peace for a while; however, I’ve been constantly thinking about this matter and always feeling a bit anxious."

Yun Ran took the talisman, and the talisman paper instantly turned to black ash. Being in the business himself, he naturally understood what this meant.

His expression turned very ugly in an instant.

"Ma... Master..."

He had never considered that the talisman, seemingly intact, had in fact endured many hardships for him.

As he became somewhat panicked, Yun Ran suddenly reached out her hand directly towards the man’s face, and he was unable to dodge in time.

He only felt a needle-like stabbing pain at the center of his forehead, and then he knew nothing more.

When Old Liu saw Yun Ran suddenly make a move, his first reaction was whether he should help and restrain the man so he couldn’t struggle.

However, unexpectedly, before he could act, the man had already fainted.

He quickly pulled over a stool, and the man, collapsing just in time, sat right down upon it.

In Yun Ran’s hand, there was now a black shadow ball, but it was not a regular sphere; it seemed like there was something inside struggling non-stop.

This made the shadow ball stretch into all sorts of odd shapes, even closely resembling the appearance of a virus.

"Such audacity, to have obtained a chance yet not think of cherishing it properly, but instead seeking to devour your master to take his place—truly insatiable greed!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran squeezed her hand tightly, and the black exterior of the small ball immediately vanished, replaced by a Bone Bead.

The pale white Bone Bead looked ordinary, but from Yun Ran’s palm emanated bursts of chill, even a faint mesmerizing whisper.

With a cold sneer, Yun Ran tossed the Bone Bead to Little Paperman who could speak.

Little Paperman opened its mouth wide and swallowed the Bone Bead in one gulp.

In no time at all, Little Paperman grew visibly larger and its body became more plump.

It transformed from a small piece of paper into the appearance of a paper doll.

"Thank you, Master, for granting me a body~"

The man also woke up at this moment, and to his surprise, he saw a paper doll floating in front of him, a very lively paper doll.

His eyelids rolled back as he fainted again.

Struck by a thunderous slap from Yun Ran, he wasn’t knocked out but his eyes betrayed a hint of grievance.

"From now on, don’t just take anything that seems valuable."

Upon hearing this, the man realized that Yun Ran knew why he had encountered trouble.

"Master, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

At this moment, Paper Doll opened its mouth and spat out the Bone Bead.

Old Liu took a glance and wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Bone Bead seemed to have shrunk a bit.

"This object, did it come down in your family? This is a Bone Bead created by Evil Cultivators, it’s not a good thing!"

The man was utterly horrified. Wasn’t this a Shariputra? How could it be a Bone Bead crafted by an Evil Cultivator?

This was what his great-grandfather had received from saving someone; that person claimed it was a Shariputra, carrying the light of Merit, capable of ensuring his family’s safety.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation all over his body; could it be that the misfortune of his grandfather and father was all because of this thing?

"However, this Bone Bead can still be considered precious. Although it’s made from the beast’s bones, these bones were of a beast that had awakened its spiritual wisdom.

My Little Paperman has been tempered by Heavenly Thunder and has already devoured the Evil Energy from the Bone Bead. Of course, it also swallowed some of the original Spiritual Energy in the Bone Bead.

Nevertheless, it still counts as a Magic Artifact, and can continue to be your family heirloom." freёnovelkiss.com

Watching Yun Ran take out the Bone Bead and return it to him, the man’s first reaction was to hastily step back, and if the stool hadn’t blocked his escape, he might have even fled.

This thing was too eerie; even now that the master had rid it of its evil nature, he was still afraid.

The man didn’t want to go through the previous ordeal again and quickly demurred, "I’m thankful for your life-saving grace this time, but I’ll give this Bone Bead to you, Master, as a form of payment."

Even if the bead counted as a Magic Artifact, he didn’t want it. His family really wasn’t short of money; many shops on this street belonged to his family. With money, what Magic Artifact couldn’t he buy?

Seeing the man’s repulsed attitude, Yun Ran was somewhat surprised. Engaged in the funeral service business, how could he be so timid?

"If you don’t want to keep it, you can sell it. You should know plenty of masters who could offer a good price, I don’t lack Magic Artifacts."

With Yun Ran saying as much, the man could only grimace sheepishly and reach out to take the Bone Bead. But his manner clearly displayed reluctance.

"That’s it, this business deal is complete, I should go now!"

Saying that, Yun Ran prepared to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, at the doorstep, she saw the toad from the man’s memory, leisurely lying there and basking in the sun.

If she remembered correctly, this toad had not been there when she entered.
