Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 137: Task 136, Miss First! (2 more updates)

[Host, those policemen who mixed in, in the attempt to rescue others, have been captured!]

Yun Ran’s eyes snapped open, clashing with Xia Jing’s still gaze and nearly losing her soul with fright.

"Scaring people can scare them to death, you know!"

Xia Jing awkwardly withdrew her curious gaze and hurried forward to help Yun Ran up.

She lowered her voice and asked softly, "I’m just a bit curious, are you by any chance the prized protégé of a spiritual master~"

Then she glanced at the strand of beads on her wrist.

If at first she was simply showing good breeding, treating the bead bracelet from Yun Ran with the same regard as those invaluable treasures,

Now, these beads had surpassed all others in her heart, the kind she would never part with till death.

"Your brush with death has been temporarily thwarted, so just stay here. As long as you don’t go out, no one can break in."

At that, Xia Jing’s brows knitted slightly: "You mean, you’re going out?"

Yun Ran nodded: "Yes, I need to go out to find someone."

"Who are you looking for? I’ll help you."

With that, she took out her phone, intending to contact the person in charge on the ship.

But upon seeing the no-signal display, her heart, which had been suspended in dread, finally sank.

"It’s fairly normal for them to have prepared comprehensive countermeasures, including signal jamming."

Yun Ran’s nonchalance eased the tense apprehension in Xia Jing’s heart somewhat.

"They can’t hurt you out there, right?"

Yun Ran nodded; even though she had suffered backlash, not even Heavenly Dao could kill her instantly, so these people meant nothing!

Reassured by Yun Ran’s affirmative response, Xia Jing finally released her grip, watching as Yun Ran opened the door and left.

[Host, it’s fortunate that Xia Jing is not an idiot, nor one of those in dramas who only drag others down and end up costing lives.]

Ginsengfruit had been worried that Xia Jing would recklessly say, "I will go with you!"

"Those who come from powerful families, unless deliberately spoiled, are not so naive as to be tactlessly foolish."

Yun Ran managing to solve Xia Jing’s deadly predicament and finding her a shelter was the utmost she could do.

If Xia Jing did not cherish her life, or tried to morally coerce Yun Ran into saving more people, it would only mean that her bitter end was destined.

In a corner of the venue, those who had to reveal themselves for Yun Ran’s rescue watched as the young elites from influential families fled in disarray without a hint of perturbation.

As if they were emotionless robots.

But when their gaze landed on the room Yun Ran had taken shelter in earlier, a flicker of human sentiment emerged in their eyes.

Knowing Yun Ran had found safety, they let out a sigh of relief and planned to continue the mission their master had entrusted to them.

To their dismay, they saw Yun Ran emerge from the room in the blink of an eye, cold sweat began to form on their foreheads.

Even though Yun Ran skillfully avoided other’s notice, in their eyes, her actions were still perilously risky.

"Boss, what do we do now!"

"The master said, at all costs, we must ensure the lady’s safety. Now, the mission comes second, the lady comes first!"

Hearing the lead man’s words, the others immediately adjusted their priorities.

Alas, the master did not wish for the lady to know of their existence, otherwise, they would have directly approached her, acknowledged her, and taken her to safety.

Yun Ran had previously sensed someone seemingly aiding her, and now, that same presence was close by.

Yet, she dared not confirm whether they were friend or foe, and thus had no intention of confronting them directly.

Following Ginsengfruit’s hints, she quickly found the captured policemen, beaten beyond recognition.

Their pitiable attempt to avoid Yun Ran’s gaze seemed to be out of sheer embarrassment.

"Lady Yun, do you have a way to notify the main forces? We’ve tried, but we can’t get a message out."

Yun Ran nodded, the ship’s signals were jammed, even arrays had been deployed, but none of that could stop her Little Paperman.

Not to mention, she had already had Little Paperman send a signal for help upon leaving the Zhao Family Mansion; by now, the rescue should be on its way.

Given their location in international waters, however, the rescuers not only had to guard against the ship’s villains but also other malicious interferences, so it might take quite some time.

Leaving the officers some talisman paper for self-defense, Yun Ran headed straight for the ship’s head and boarding plank.

She had an agreement with Taoist Xia: whoever discovered the pirates would handle them, and now they were her responsibility.

Those following behind intending to secretly protect Yun Ran were baffled by her nimble prowess and ease of movement unseen by villains, causing them to question their own existence.

"Boss, wasn’t it said that the lady was shunned by Heavenly Dao, that her skills were nothing but trivial tricks? Why do I feel like she’s much more formidable than we imagined?"

The leader fell into thought, realizing they might have underestimated the lady.

But quickly, he reassured himself; the master was so formidable, how could the lady, bearing his genes, be lacking?

"Looking at the direction the lady is heading, could it be she’s planning to confront those pirates?"

Hearing his subordinate’s speculation, the leader found those pirates extremely bothersome.

A fierce look crossed his eyes, "What’s so great about these pirates that warrants the lady’s personal involvement? She’s still just a young girl. You go, wipe out all those pirates!"

His men found nothing wrong with that.

Their faces were utterly nonchalant, as if wiping out a ship’s worth of pirates was as easy for them as crushing a bunch of ants.

Yun Ran walked what felt like an eternity without reaching the end, at first not noticing anything amiss.

"An array field again!"

For Xuan Sect members, the Ghost King, or even supernatural beings with tremendous abilities, creating their own domain was extremely difficult. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She had previously accompanied Shen Zhe on a mission, stumbling into a Ghost King’s domain, which seemed like an incredible stroke of luck.

Some Xuan Sect members might not witness such a thing in their whole lifetime.

And yet, in just this past month, she had encountered it twice; she might as well go buy a lottery ticket.

Yun Ran stood still, closing her eyes, taking her time to sense the nature of this domain.

After a moment, she opened her eyes.

This domain was created by someone from Xuan Sect, immaculate and untouched by cause and effect; no wonder she had initially detected nothing.
