Chapter 573: Chapter 572: Using Myself as the Raft
The Dragon Spirit glanced at Yun Ran, then at the ’little brother’ crawling on the ground, and suddenly felt a strong sense of helplessness.
He was the old guy who had lived for thousands of years, so why did he keep stumbling at every turn over this little human who had only lived for a few decades?
"How come it feels like you’re not pleased with my help?"
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at the Dragon Spirit with a half-smile: "You just realized that, huh."
Then her expression swiftly turned fierce as she coldly snorted, "I thought you were going to reach the heavens or something, just acting however you like whenever you want, who do you think you are?
Did I ever say I needed your help? Or are you trying to stand on the moral high ground, pretending to be my lifesaver?"
The Dragon Spirit, who had been tightly frowning, frowned even more deeply now.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected that his kindness would provoke such anger from Yun Ran.
"Did you eat gunpowder?"
Yun Ran knew that if she didn’t explain herself, this Dragon Spirit wouldn’t stop pestering her given his nature.
"You’re a life form that’s lived for thousands of years, inherently lawless, not understanding the rules humans must abide by in the human world.
I forcibly bound you with a contract back then to restrain your actions, and after you successfully seized a body, I went through considerable efforts to give you an identity.
I’ve paved the way for you, not asking for thanks, just hoping you’ll keep your nose clean and not act impulsively!
Now, someone is already watching me. My possession by resentment has long since been spread around.
If those people find out that the possession by resentment, which others can’t handle, is just a piece of cake for me, what kind of peaceful life do you think I can have?"
Even though Xie Xuzhi is currently the head of the Special Administration Bureau, Yun Ran doesn’t entirely trust him.
For now, they’re on good terms, everything seems perfect, but what if conflict arises between them later on?
Who knows if the Dragon Spirit will become a reason to punish her, clearly being blamed for possessing such power!
The Dragon Spirit isn’t actually foolish, and he quickly grasped Yun Ran’s point.
He frowned immediately, "Are you worried that someone might want to harm you, and I could be a part of their plan?"
The Dragon Spirit intended to help Yun Ran but hadn’t considered that Yun Ran was already defying destiny with many things at hand.
Before, nobody paid attention to her, so Yun Ran could naturally enjoy herself.
But this time, she emerged from Death Mountain and even clashed with those old monsters who had been in seclusion for years.
Yun Ran does not believe those old monsters and those who led He Tu to her will just stay quiet.
Those people will definitely keep watching her in unseen places.
With the Kyoto Xie Family and Wang Family as ’backing’, good relations with the Special Administration Bureau, not to mention the establishment of Qingfeng Temple...
These accomplishments, if belonging to any descendant from a Mystical Sect family, would be absolute feats.
But for Yun Ran, they might just turn into trouble, one misstep could have her buried alive by others.
Yun Ran had never lacked encounters with the baseness and shadow of human nature.
Honestly, sometimes, human hearts can be scarier than those evil spirits and creatures.
"So, you’re trying to lower your presence, hoping those who envy and hate you will see you possessed by resentment and days numbered?
That way, not only will those people stop scheming against you secretly, they might even feign generosity and come to comfort you?"
The Dragon Spirit always knew Yun Ran was cunning, but he hadn’t imagined she could be cunning to this level, surpassing those crafty old hands.
No wonder he always felt a strange sensation, thinking Yun Ran must have a brilliant mentor backing her, otherwise how could she have no solution to the possession by resentment?
Causing him to hurry over, anxious beyond measure, so this is the classic case of the Emperor worrying while the eunuch does not.
"I heard your Qingfeng Temple is about to hold an opening ceremony?"
Thinking of this, the Dragon Spirit couldn’t help but curse inwardly: A shrewd merchant, a truly cunning merchant!!!
At this moment, it’s rumored Yun Ran is possessed by a Demon Spirit’s resentment, seen by others as writing on the Book of Life and Death.
Moreover, Yun Ran is doing it to eliminate harm! Under such circumstances, for Yun Ran’s opening ceremony, none of the invited guests dare speak ill or offer substandard gifts.
Anyone who dares to create a scene at this time will be looked down upon by everyone.
After all, everyone must maintain decorum at such moments, under the "respect for the deceased" principle.
Being able to think ten steps ahead, using herself as a pawn in the game, even considering everyone’s reactions and reaping major rewards.
The key is, she’s reduced people’s vigilance towards Yun Ran, while ensuring they welcome her with smiles, guaranteeing nothing goes wrong during the opening ceremony...
The Dragon Spirit silently gave Yun Ran a thumbs-up, "I feel a bit sorry for those who want to oppose or plot against you now.
They’ve been outsmarted until their pants are gone, yet those people probably still think they’ve struck it rich."
Now the Dragon Spirit felt being dragged onto the crooked ship step by step by Yun Ran wasn’t unjust after all.
"Good you understand, now go wherever it’s cooler!"
With Yun Ran about to stir things up, the Dragon Spirit naturally had no worries and turned away to leave.
After the Dragon Spirit disappeared from sight, the Little Paperman curiously asked Yun Ran, "Master, why did you remind him?"
Yun Ran gave a faint smile, "Of course, to prevent him from disrupting my plans, and to intimidate him. Even if the mentor lifts the symbiotic contract between me and him.
He’s absorbed the Fire Dragon Dragon Essence, his power greatly increased, but so long as I want, playing him to death is like playing with a dog.
A sword must always hang over his head, letting him know that since he’s seized a human body, he must abide by human rules, and I’ll be watching him relentlessly!"
The Little Paperman just thought, the master indeed is formidable, what’s a Dragon Spirit, it still couldn’t escape the master’s grip!
After the Dragon Spirit left, from a distance, he glanced back at the tiny courtyard and suddenly snorted coldly. "I’m just being generous, not bothering to argue with you, otherwise if anyone dares to knock this Dragon King, their head would be twisted off!"
The tortoise crawling slowly on the ground trembled upon hearing the words ’head twisted off’, and immediately tucked its head into its turtle shell.
