Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Stay Away from Humans! (Second Update)
The few of them exchanged glances. They seemed like a group now, but everyone knew they couldn’t fully trust each other.
Currently, everyone was in the same situation, forcing a semblance of peaceful coexistence. However, once the situation changed, they’d undoubtedly be the ones stabbing each other in the back!
Everyone secretly plotted against one another, and surprisingly, Yun Ran seemed more trustworthy than their fragile friendships.
Immediately, they each found a satisfying spot to begin healing, and simultaneously noticed the Healing Medicine placed nearby by Yun Ran.
If it had been given by anyone else, they wouldn’t have eaten it no matter what.
But with Yun Ran’s aura upon it, not a single person hesitated; they grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths.
Suddenly, a refreshing and gentle stream of airflow spread throughout their bodies, easing the pain of their original wounds.
The value of something is best judged by those who’ve experienced it.
"Who would’ve thought that this yellow-haired lass even had such good Healing Medicine!"
The speaker’s envy and jealousy of Yun Ran increased yet again; all the good things belonged to Yun Ran. Unfortunately, they had no chance to snatch the treasures.
The other few felt similarly, and in the end, could only suppress their emotions and focus on healing.
Outside the cave, those who had been waiting for the old monsters inside to start quarreling, intending to suppress them in one fell swoop, were left confused.
But after waiting for a good while, all was quiet, leaving Yun Ran puzzled.
"Since when did these shameless old monsters become so well-behaved?"
Yun Ran would never have dreamed that her previous actions had established her as someone with a really good reputation.
At the same time, she had somewhat intimidated these unruly old monsters.
It could only be said that sometimes, events coincidentally unfold in the most absurd ways.
The Little Paperman didn’t care what the old monsters thought. If it weren’t for the master’s orders, they wouldn’t have bothered to take people away and bandage their wounds.
At this moment, they only worried about their master’s injuries: "Master, how are your injuries?"
Yun Ran glanced at the cracks in her skin. Luckily, she had enough Merit to resist some of the karmic backlash.
However, this injury couldn’t be entirely suppressed by the Merit Golden Light and would require slowly doing good deeds to dissolve it.
"No big deal, I can handle it!"
Having eliminated a major threat, Yun Ran was more curious about how many remains Ginsengfruit and his side had recovered.
Previously unable to multitask, Yun Ran had not contacted Ginsengfruit, but now she could.
She had just opened the connection with Ginsengfruit when she immediately received a response.
[Host, have you handled everything on your side?]
It was evident that Ginsengfruit’s tone was filled with deep worry.
"Yes, it’s taken care of. How are things on your side?"
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s still vigorous voice, Ginsengfruit felt relieved; his host was indeed the most formidable.
[Earlier, I didn’t know what happened, but it seemed all Life and spirits in Death Mountain, including those Evil beings and spirits, encountered something terrifying.
They all withdrew, not lingering outside at all, which considerably facilitated our journey and reduced the time spent.
According to your previous calculations, only the positions of the two farthest remain unlocated, requiring about half a day more.]
Previously disconnected, Ginsengfruit was naturally unaware that Yun Ran had staged a major event.
Nor did he know that what had instilled fear among the Life here were the Black Robed People’s indiscriminate tribal extermination along their path.
They had scared all these Life, making their task unbelievably simple.
Even Evil beings feared the wicked.
"Alright, once you’ve found the last two, hurry and get out. I’ll follow soon, and we’ll meet in Licheng!"
If there were no people from the Sihui Sect accompanying Ginsengfruit, he would insist on finding Yun Ran.
Now, however, he was responsible for everyone’s safety, so naturally, upon completing the task, the priority was to send people away promptly.
[Got it, Host. We’ll meet in Licheng.]
With the Flower Demon dealt with and the task largely complete, Yun Ran’s tense nerves finally relaxed.
Her eyelids started to droop.
The four Little Papermen resembled door guardians, valiantly guarding the four corners, solely to protect their master’s rest.
The rain continued, but where Yun Ran was, there wasn’t a single drop. The rhythm of the rain was like a lullaby.
The hog bound like a zongzi watched the fierce human, now peacefully sleeping.
Then, the hog glanced at its ’tribe’ hiding nearby, along with its wife and children.
No one even dared to rush out and fight against the human to rescue it.
Whether thinking of its tragic experience or feeling wronged, the hog’s large eyes began to well up with tears.
This human was too vile, taking over its lair, and now even asleep, it wouldn’t spare it; it truly was pitiable.
The Little Paperman in charge of watch saw the hog’s tears and its attempt to seek assistance from other driven-away hogs.
Instantly flying up above the hog, it kicked down.
"Behave, or I’ll butcher you for meat!"
The hog was so terrified that it quickly squeezed its eyes dry of tears.
Then it revealed innocent and clear eyes, cautiously demonstrating its harmlessness and willingness to follow orders obediently.
The hog chief was unaware that the Little Paperman was merely threatening it. Although unable to communicate with humans, it indeed developed spiritual wisdom.
Yun Ran’s rule was never to harm beings with spiritual wisdom lightly, let alone eat them.
The Little Paperman nodded in satisfaction: "Needed a good thrashing to learn!"
Finishing, it flew back to Yun Ran’s side, resuming its watch over the surroundings.
Leaving the hog chief with a heap of sorrow, secretly determined that once these fierce humans left, it would lead its tribe even deeper, away from humans!
The sky gradually darkened, and Yun Ran slept soundly as faint human sounds rustled not far away.
The hog chief, constantly chanting to stay low-key, immediately lifted its head, eyes filled with panic.
Already dealing with troublesome humans; if more came, what would happen to its tribe? Would they face extermination like other ’neighbors’?
