Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Never a Moment’s Peace!
In an unknown sea, which was originally a calm and tranquil sea surface, suddenly, huge waves rose without any warning.
At the same time, an extremely arrogant voice came from within the giant waves: "Hahaha, this Dragon King has finally come out!!!"
As soon as all the waves fell, a person glowing with white light was suspended in mid-air, holding a huge sea turtle in their hands.
This is the deep sea; otherwise, in other places, seeing such a ’comedic’ scene, it’s hard to imagine how much sensation it would cause.
Having absorbed most of the Fire Dragon’s Dragon Core, the Dragon Spirit’s strength had long surpassed its previous level.
The sea turtle in its arms, seeing how far it was from the sea surface, flailed its limbs in a panic: [Ahhhhh, Dragon King, help me!!!]
Listening to the turtle’s wailing, the Dragon Spirit slapped the turtle’s head with one hand!
"Fool, what are you yelling for!"
Only then did the turtle realize that it had been taken into the air by the Dragon King following the waves, ε=(´ο｀*))) sigh, it was scared to death~
No longer bound by the Symbiotic Contract with Yun Ran, with increased power, he also had his ’loyal’ subordinates.
At this moment, the Dragon Spirit felt the future was bright.
"From now on, you’ll follow this Dragon King; I’ll make you the Turtle Minister."
The sea turtle, which had been somewhat afraid of high altitudes, was overjoyed upon hearing that the Dragon King was willing to keep it.
Instantly delighted, it didn’t care about being a Turtle Minister or a turtle underling.
[Thank you, Dragon King~]
The Dragon Spirit nodded in satisfaction; Yun Ran had underlings, and now he had them too, hmph.
Suddenly, the Dragon Spirit’s head abruptly turned towards the three o’clock direction.
Although his Symbiotic Contract with Yun Ran had been lifted, he could still easily sense Yun Ran’s aura, as he had been tainted with the Merit Golden Light from Yun Ran.
The Dragon Spirit’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone carried a hint of unawareness even to himself.
"I knew it, this guy Yun Ran never has a dull moment!"
It hadn’t even been long since the incidents at the Snow Mountain, and that rascal Yun Ran had already gotten himself into trouble again.
The Dragon Spirit had planned to return to Hai City and enjoy himself to reward the hardships he endured.
Now knowing that Yun Ran had caused big trouble again, it seemed unreasonable not to go and take a look, after all, they were acquaintances.
The Dragon Spirit could only temporarily change his plans and head in the direction of Licheng.
As for Yun Ran, having no tasks, she obviously couldn’t travel step by step as she did before.
The Little Paperman, afraid its owner might not be comfortable, quickly fashioned a palanquin, with four Little Paperman carrying it.
To prevent the wind, Yun Ran wrapped herself up, leaving only her eyes exposed.
The Little Paperman flew the palanquin over Death Mountain, allowing Yun Ran to experience the bird’s-eye view of the entire mountain.
"Looking at it this way, this Death Mountain is lush and vibrant, a really good place, but regrettably, among this vitality lies countless hidden dangers."
At the speed of the Little Paperman, it could actually fly out of Death Mountain’s range in the blink of an eye.
But Yun Ran truly had nothing else to do at the moment and could leisurely enjoy the scenery.
Therefore, the Little Paperman’s speed was genuinely slow, comparable to an electric scooter.
As they flew, the Little Paperman carrying the palanquin suddenly spoke up: "Master, I see the boss and the others~"
Yun Ran’s group had set out hours after the Ginsengfruit, yet they had caught up now.
It just goes to show, carrying dead weight slows anyone down.
The layers of leaves let in some scattered light through occasional gaps, providing some brightness in Death Mountain’s daytime.
Sensing something, Ginsengfruit looked up and through those gaps saw Yun Ran sitting on the palanquin.
"What are you looking at?"
Xin Fu, not far from Ginsengfruit, saw Ginsengfruit look up and thought something unusual was discovered.
Xin Fu asked a question and looked up as well, with his sword ready to strike at any moment.
Instead, he saw Yun Ran waving at them from the palanquin.
No need to ask why Yun Ran was wrapped like a mummy, revealing only her eyes; he recognized Yun Ran right away.
After all, the suitcases tied under the palanquin were personally chosen and bought by him.
Xin Fu opened his mouth, then closed it again; such abstract play, no wonder she’s their temple master!
The Sihui Sect members learned a lot on this journey and were more alert than before.
When Ginsengfruit and Xin Fu showed signs of something off, their first reaction was vigilance, closely observing their surroundings.
They didn’t curiously join Ginsengfruit and Xin Fu in looking around.
If there was really big trouble, they couldn’t help, but they could stay alert and prevent anything else from attacking.
Their coordination had improved quite well now.
After waiting for a long time without the expected fight occurring, Du Jun cautiously looked over.
Du Jun had considered many possibilities but didn’t expect to see the floating palanquin in the air.
"Is that... Yun Temple Master?"
It was clearly a question, yet Du Jun was already certain in his heart.
Having gone without incidents for so long, the ever-tense Fang Yu also looked over upon hearing his shishu’s words.
Sitting on the palanquin, Yun Ran knew that the people below had seen her and waved even more enthusiastically.
At this moment, Yun Ran truly experienced what it meant to stand tall and see far, as if everything was beneath her gaze.
This feeling was quite good, and the Little Paperman cooperated fully with Yun Ran, hovering still without proceeding.
After greeting them, Yun Ran shouted down to Ginsengfruit and the group below: "Hurry up, I’ll be waiting for you in Licheng~"
Watching the Little Paperman carry the palanquin far away, Du Jun’s eyes brimmed with envy.
Then, his eyes sneakily darted around the Little Paperman following them.
The Little Paperman, laden with luggage, noticed Du Jun’s gaze but ignored him.
Carrying luggage was already their limit; anything else was wishful thinking!
The previously anxious Ginsengfruit, upon seeing Yun Ran safe, suddenly felt an intense urge to return.
"We must hurry. Before dark, we have to exit the outer areas of Death Mountain, we can’t keep the master waiting long!"
