Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 31 [Help, kill the bird!]

Yun Ran glanced at the Little Paperman who was busily picking tea and casually drew an invisible barrier with her qi.

She instructed the Little Paperman, "Keep an eye on these people!"

The Little Paperman could only raise its head in response, and before it could reply, Yun Ran’s figure was gone.

With a few leaps following the direction of the wind, Yun Ran arrived at the summit of Tea Mountain, her gaze fixed in the direction of East Lake not far away.

East Lake was a very famous tourist attraction within the country, bustling with people in the distance, while the tea on Tea Mountain was renowned, considered tribute-grade in ancient times.

Such a scenic place, with its clear waters and lush mountains, made it easier for flowers, plants, trees, and creatures to develop spiritual wisdom.

A group of beautiful birds were frolicking together. To outsiders, they appeared to be merely chirping, but what Yun Ran heard was their laughter at a few young men who did not know any better.

"Who are you mocking!"

These rare species of birds had long been protected animals, and people would usually keep their distance, afraid that getting too close would prompt the birds to roll their eyes.

They were not at all frightened of humans, but upon hearing Yun Ran’s voice, several of the birds turned their heads in a very human-like manner.

Eyes the size of green beans filled with shock, and then they attempted to spread their wings and fly away.

But it was as if their claws were firmly stuck to the ground; they simply couldn’t take off.

[Help, they are killing birds!]

[Someone is trying to catch nationally protected animals, someone come quick!]

[Lady Mei, save us!!!]

...

Yun Ran never condemned anyone wholesale, whether they were spirits or lost souls and wandering ghosts.

As long as they didn’t commit evil acts, she wouldn’t interfere in their affairs.

But if someone harmed humans for no reason simply because they had some tricks up their sleeve, she wouldn’t tolerate it.

She immediately cast a Magic Spell on the birds to give them a small lesson.

Given their current level of Dao progress, they were already shivering from fear due to Yun Ran’s methods.

"Now, tell me, where did those reckless young men you mocked end up, and who is Lady Mei!"

Desperate to avoid further punishment, the birds hurriedly spoke up.

[Lady Mei is the Three-tailed Fox suppressed under Huixin Garden near East Lake; the Sealing has loosened recently, and she started seeking out men to absorb their vitality, trying to break through the Sealing.] freёnovelkiss.com

[Yesterday, Lady Mei captured a few people, but they resisted and were locked up by her; we don’t know their location.]

...

Although these birds had developed spiritual wisdom, their Dao progress was still too low to commit evil acts for the time being.

But clearly, they lacked the ability to discern right from wrong; if left unchecked, they would sooner or later become accomplices to evil.

Yun Ran then cast a special Prohibition on them.

"It is not easy to develop spiritual wisdom; I hope you don’t squander this opportunity. If you choose to do evil in the future, the Prohibition I’ve cast on you will annihilate all of your Dao progress."

When Yun Ran released them, Ginsengfruit was somewhat puzzled.

[Host, you actually chose to cast your own Prohibition on them; isn’t this indirectly protecting them?

Besides, didn’t you say before that those who cultivate should not show pointless mercy or play the saint? They’re associated with that energy-draining Lady Mei.]

"If they behave, the Prohibition will protect them from being targeted by evil spirits. If they do evil, that Prohibition becomes the shackles upon them."

[So this is what you meant before: rather than trusting in others’ morals and limits, it’s better to hold a sword over their heads.]

"According to the original plot of the novel, it’s now nearing the end, and there shouldn’t be all this chaos.

But now, the suppressed Three-tailed Demon Fox has appeared. I suspect that due to our intrusion, the hidden side of this world has been revealed.

Ginsengfruit, check again what exactly the situation is in this world of the book!"

Hearing the seriousness in Yun Ran’s voice, Ginsengfruit also became worried. Could it be that this book world, randomly selected from the System’s library, truly contained hidden plotlines?

[Host, rest assured, I will investigate at once!]

After Yun Ran returned to the main group, the Little Paperman had already filled her pockets with the highest quality tea buds.

Back at the base of the mountain when everyone was resting, Yun Ran picked up her phone and called Song Ye.

Captain Song Ye answered the phone quickly, thinking Yun Ran might want to ask about the Little Paperman’s assistance with catching people.

"Captain Song, could you give me the phone number for the Special Administration Bureau?"

Song Ye was taken aback. If it were any other matter, he would have no hesitation, but he wasn’t in a position to give out the Special Administration Bureau’s contact.

Although he had limited contact with Yun Ran, he knew she was no ordinary person and must have something important to discuss.

So he didn’t refuse her outright: "Hold on, let me ask for permission from my superiors."

"Okay, I’ll wait."

After ten minutes, Song Ye called back: "The higher-ups have agreed. Shortly, they will have someone get in touch with you."

"Thanks, Captain Song."

"Don’t be so formal with me; we should be thanking you for your Little Paperman’s assistance. Go on with your tasks."

A short while later, a special number came through, and Yun Ran answered to hear a familiar voice.

"Yun Ran, what do you need from the Special Administration Bureau?"

"It’s you!"

Yun Ran thought that the one who would contact her would be some kind of clerk, but to her surprise, it was a member of the Xie Family.

Xie Xuzhi was not surprised that Yun Ran recognized his voice. She had already been marked as a special target by him.

Information related to Yun Ran was automatically forwarded to him, all to be personally handled by him.

"It’s me. Let me introduce myself. I am Xie Xuzhi, also the Deputy Director of the Special Administration Bureau."

Since learning about the Xie Family’s status, Yun Ran had guessed the young man she met before was no ordinary individual.

She had no idea that he was a Deputy Director, impressive indeed!

So, did this mean that the matter she was about to discuss wouldn’t be passed around like a hot potato, unattended for a long time?

Yun Ran was not in the mood to catch up with Xie Xuzhi and directly informed him about her discovery.

"I’m just an ordinary person after all. There are too many tourists near East Lake. It would be better for you to handle these matters."

Xie Xuzhi initially thought Yun Ran was asking about the matter of the death mark, but he was surprised to hear that it was about the discovery of the Three-tailed Fox.

His expression turned grave. A Three-tailed Fox worthy of being sealed was certainly not an easy opponent.
