Chapter 571: Chapter 570: Addicted to Reaping Benefits
The little paperman watched the Dragon Spirit use a dog leash to lead away that silly big sea turtle, and its eyes twinkled.
Immediately, it flew over to Yun Ran’s side, planning to chirp a bit about the Dragon Spirit, make it look bad, since that guy was annoying it.
"Master, just by the looks of that Dragon Spirit, you can tell it’s got a dog’s temperament. We should avoid interacting with him in the future, he always makes you angry. A beautiful lady like you can’t always be upset."
Another little paperman also flew over, muttering softly, "Master, didn’t those old monsters say that as long as there’s a stronger life, it can directly remove the resentment?
How about we let the Dragon Spirit try it, anyway, it’s got a great fate. Last time, you spilled such a big bowl of blood on it, and it was perfectly fine!"
This is like getting addicted to fleecing, as long as the Dragon Spirit doesn’t die, it’s all good.
Yun Ran: ...
If anyone else heard this, they might think the little paperman was raised by some evil cultivator.
Yun Ran thought hard about it, she had never taught the little paperman such shameless thoughts.
Thus there’s only one conclusion!
It seems that in the future, she’ll have to restrict the Ginsengfruit and these little papermen from watching short dramas or similar things, they’re becoming more and more ’sneaky’.
"In the future, you guys should watch less of the toxic chicken soup online, otherwise I fear you might fall into becoming evil cultivators!"
The little paperman got ’scolded’ by the master and immediately puffed up angrily, standing akimbo.
"No way, we are good babies, we won’t become evil cultivators!"
Yun Ran just felt goosebumps all over, she wasn’t annoyed by the Dragon Spirit, rather, she was ’grossed out’ by her own little papermen.
"Alright, alright, you’re all good babies, got it? The courtyard hasn’t been lived in for many days, there’s dust everywhere, go and get water to clean all the places again!"
The little papermen, spoiled by Yun Ran, faced with the master’s ’acknowledgment’, stopped being angry immediately, diligently buzzing like little bees, starting to clean around.
Yun Ran let out a long sigh of relief; indeed, raising these spiritual-wisdom-opening magic artifacts is not much different from raising troublesome kids.
Thinking back to the mischief she did as a child, even her junior brothers and sisters weren’t easy to deal with.
Yun Ran just felt a shiver down her spine, no, in the future, the task of teaching the young disciples and these magic artifacts should be entirely handed over to someone else. She just needs to be a hands-off temple master.
The Ginsengfruit, still on the road, somehow suddenly felt a chill, as if it had been targeted by some evil thing.
The Ginsengfruit hurriedly waved and had the little papermen responsible for vigilance scout around.
The little paperman expanded the vigilance circle, looked around once, then flew back: "Boss, I didn’t find anything unusual!"
Even though it seemed like they’d experienced quite a few things these days, in fact, the range of their activities was still just the peripheral area of Death Mountain.
Be it the animals or the evil spirits, in reality, they all bully the weak and fear the strong. Faced with the risk of extermination, they are all very quiet now.
This has reduced a lot of the dangerous traps that previously existed in the inherently perilous Death Mountain.
Currently, the greatest danger is merely some geographical factors.
And also some poisonous flowers and grasses, but as long as one is a bit careful, one basically won’t encounter any fatal danger.
Of course, the Ginsengfruit trusted the little paperman’s checks and also knew that it’s currently a rare quiet time in Death Mountain.
But the chill just now wasn’t fake; it’s definitely not something simple that could make him feel so uneasy, given he’s not made of flesh and blood.
"Boss, how about we check again?"
"No need, let’s hurry to leave first, no one knows how long those evil spirits can stay quiet!"
The group immediately sped up a bit, finally making it out of Death Mountain before dark.
The people responsible for vigilance around them saw that someone actually came out alive, each of their eyes widened in amazement.
Especially since among them were acquaintances, meeting each other created a scene of tearful reunion like villagers meeting.
"Old Du, I can’t believe you guys actually made it out alive. No wonder you dared to sign the life and death contract earlier; turns out you were confident."
"Old Du, what was it like inside Death Mountain? You guys really gained some insight, right?"
"Old Du, you old dog, you really lucked out; back in the sect, they’ll surely have you give a report..."
...
A string of voices made Du Jun, who hadn’t eaten all day and was famished, feel like his head was buzzing.
It was naturally the first time he realized that when men gossip, they are no less than any talkative women.
"Everyone, it’s already late now, we’ve just gotten out and need to go back to rest and regroup. Let’s do the inspection first; if anyone still has questions, we can talk properly later!"
Upon the mention of going back, those surrounding them talking only then remembered there was actual business to attend to.
After the Special Administration Bureau set up an array in the peripheral area of Death Mountain, it was mandated that anyone coming out of there must go through testing before being allowed to leave.
But because over the past years, Death Mountain has been a one-way street, people almost forgot about the testing.
"Right, right, let’s do the test first, come with me!"
The testing equipment was supplied by the Special Administration Bureau, and it had been there for many years without being started.
Now it needed to be restarted, and the personnel responsible for testing even had to take out the manual.
Everyone: ...
But fortunately, they all belonged to the Sihui Sect, so they understood and didn’t rush.
The Death Mountain has its own ecosystem, and no one knows, if something seemingly harmless inside was inadvertently brought out, if it poses any threat.
Fang Yu looked at the pile of transparent bags held by the little paperman and sighed: truly worthy of being with a big shot, the experience is just rich.
Once the equipment was started, the testing was quick, and all Yun Ran’s people passed.
On the Sihui Sect’s side, only Fang Yu was detected with some remnant energy that did not belong outside, and he needed to stay in the purification room for a few days.
The crowd immediately recalled that when they first entered Death Mountain, Fang Yu had been entangled by that shadow clone.
When Fang Yu saw the result, his body stiffened, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed.
Du Jun patted Fang Yu’s shoulder: "Alright, it’s a small matter, just rest and purify yourself for a few days here, let your junior brother stay with you, and I’ll go back to report to the Sect Leader and the elders."
