Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 76 - 75 She actually snatched the Heavenly Dao away
Chapter 76: 75 She actually snatched the Heavenly Dao away
Master Jiechen retracted his Buddha Beads, and with each bead now endowed with Thunder Power, his chubby face beamed with a smile just like Maitreya Buddha.
Those plump hands couldn’t help but fondly stroke the patterns on the beads, "When luck comes knocking, there’s no stopping it."
Though Daoist Qingmu didn’t wear his emotions as openly as Master Jiechen, the crow’s feet by his eyes noticeably deepened from smiling—it was just less apparent.
The others whose Magic Artifacts had undergone the Heavenly Thunder Refinement were too preoccupied to spar with their ’old friends’ at the moment.
Looking at their Magic Artifacts, now significantly more powerful after being refined by the Heavenly Thunder, they felt as sweet as if they had tasted honey.
They completely forgot the previous fear they felt at the sight of the Heavenly Thunder.
Shen Zhe and his companions also retrieved their Magic Artifacts, but regrettably, they were quite injured now, having been blinded by a backlash from the light emitted by Yun Ran’s Magic Artifact, and thus unable to see their Magic Artifacts’ current state.
Still, they could feel that the power of their Magic Artifacts had at least increased several-fold. For such gains, the injuries were worth it!
Yun Ran put away the Little Paperman and covered her slightly aching chest; the Heavenly Thunder had shattered her ’Zhen’ character, causing her great suffering.
Right now, she could not care less about etiquette or face, and she immediately sat down cross-legged to close her eyes and practice Breathing Control.
As her breathing finally became smoother, a familiar voice reached her ears.
"Yun Ran, my young friend, are you alright?"
Yun Ran opened her eyes to see Daoist Qingmu looking at her with concern. He hurriedly handed her a gourd, "This is Healing Holy Medicine from my sect. Have a sip."
When they arrived, there wasn’t much of the residual might of the Heavenly Thunder left, but they had witnessed firsthand the power of the Heavenly Thunder as it descended.
That did not prevent him from deducing that Yun Ran must have had something to do with it.
Not to mention, he had benefitted from Yun Ran’s fortune and had the opportunity to refine his Magic Artifact, chances that were not easily come by.
He had an intuition that befriending Yun Ran would not lead him to a loss.
Now that Yun Ran was also part of the Special Administration Bureau, it was only right for him as a senior to take care of a junior.
Yun Ran didn’t stand on ceremony, took the gourd and opened it; a refreshing fragrance wafted out, and even before she tasted it, Yun Ran knew it was something valuable.
One sip, and her internal organs, injured by the Heavenly Thunder, were enveloped by a gentle and soft force.
"Indeed, it’s excellent medicine for healing. Thank you, Daoist Qingmu."
Qingmu Elder laughed and took back the gourd handed back by Yun Ran, "No need for thanks, my Qingfeng Sword has also been graced by your light; consider this as my return gift."
After a little while, Master Jiechen also came over and gave a very fine-looking Jade Cicada to Yun Ran.
"Girl Yun Ran, this old monk has been blessed by your fortune, naturally, I won’t take advantage of you, a child. This Jade Cicada is a fine item, known for its nourishing properties, and it suits a young one like you."
Following the lead of these two influential figures, the rest didn’t hold back either.
One after another, they presented various gifts to Yun Ran as a sign of gratitude for their share of the Heavenly Thunder’s blessings.
Of course, Yun Ran did not refuse; each of these people was a senior of regional branch level positions, capable of commanding authority.
Except for showing respect to the Special Administration Bureau Headquarters, it would otherwise be impossible to mobilize them normally.
The treasures they offered were naturally top-notch, and Yun Ran was certainly not willing to push them away.
Most importantly, she had noticed that aside from Qingmu Elder and Master Jiechen, the attitudes of the others towards her were quite ordinary.
Offering these treasures was perhaps their way of ’buying off’ the favor they had received by obtaining a share of the Heavenly Thunder.
The remaining cleanup work naturally wasn’t something Yun Ran, a temporary worker, needed to attend to, which conveniently allowed her some good rest.
Looking at the Old Turtle that seemed almost dead, Yun Ran sighed, but ultimately she couldn’t just watch it die. She formed seals with one hand and cast them into the Old Turtle’s body.
The Old Turtle, which had just been stiff, opened its mouth wide and began to breathe deeply, looking exactly like a human catching their breath.
[My goodness, I’ve lived so many years and have never seen such a horrifying display. That Heavenly Thunder could have oblided several mountains...]
As she listened to the Old Turtle’s shocked and incessant babbling, Yun Ran promptly tossed it into the fountain pool.
[Ah... Help...]
With a "thud", the Old Turtle hit the water, and the previously incessant noise finally ceased.
Yun Ran’s gaze then returned to the residence.
The Destruction Spirit Array hidden underground, along with the previously arranged feng shui setup, were completely eradicated by the Heavenly Thunder without leaving a trace behind.
Although the remaining Heavenly Thunder had been divided up, the area within the Du Residence had now become an Array-insulated zone.
From now on, whether it was the Forbidden Techniques’ arrays or any plans to set up feng shui layouts to make this place geomantically significant, they would no longer be successful.
Of course, this also meant it was equally impossible for any chaotic evil forces or evil spirits to appear here.
Thinking this, Yun Ran suddenly felt a bit guilty. The villas in this area had always been in high demand due to the good feng shui.
With the changes now, there was bound to be a depreciation in market value, and those who had spent a high price would definitely be stuck with it.
Finally, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and when the sunlight poured down again, Yun Ran felt a warm glow on her body.
Soon after, a massive amount of Merit Golden Light vigorously flowed in from all directions of the residence and entered Yun Ran’s body.
Ginsengfruit was originally in a state of near death from fright but not quite dead, and upon seeing the Merit Golden Light, it felt for the first time that its system brain was not quite adequate.
[Host, the Heavenly Thunder you summoned did save many people, but you’ve also completely destroyed this geomantically blessed land. With that, how can there still be so much Merit Golden Light?]
Yun Ran was also puzzled, and then she began to make her calculations.
A lot of merit was a good thing; as long as she had enough merit, even if she was someone greatly despised by the Heavenly Dao, she would be protected.
Yun Ran soon understood the situation. When the Heavenly Thunder struck, the dispersed forces directly wiped out the nearby evildoers.
This should have been credited as the work of Heavenly Dao, but alas, since she was the one who had summoned the Heavenly Thunder, all the merit gained from punishing the wicked and promoting virtue fell onto her.
Yun Ran burst out laughing, and this was the first time she felt so happy knowing she was detested by Heavenly Dao.
She had actually outsmarted the Heavenly Dao, and by now, Heavenly Dao was probably hopping mad.
In fact, when Heavenly Dao saw that although it was supposed to be punishing certain individuals, all the credit ended up going to the person it detested the most, it almost passed out.
