Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 119 - 118 Dreaming of Impossible Things (2 more updates)

After devouring the black snake formed from the evil energy, the Little Paperman’s body underwent significant changes, and from a distance, it truly resembled an actual cloth doll.

"Master, I can sense the whereabouts of other evil energies!"

The voice of the Little Paperman was still babyish, but to others, it sounded like heavenly music.

Yun Ran: ...

At this point, if she didn’t lend out this Little Paperman, it would be somewhat inexcusable.

"Alright, you go and collect those evil energies, and then come back early, got it? Don’t get too carried away!"

The directionality of this statement was too strong; Director Liao tried to ignore it but couldn’t, and there was a moment when he wanted to respond with defiance, asserting his return.

But in the end, he didn’t say it, fearing another blow to his face!

With the help of the Little Paperman, Director Liao immediately sought permission from higher-ups and began a full-fledged operation to round up suspects.

By nightfall, they had apprehended 22 people, and adding the two families already deceased, these so-called Divine Envoys totaled 24 people.

The Little Paperman left behind only one Divine Messenger Card as evidence, devouring all the others.

Now, the Little Paperman had grown to the size of an infant, and the characteristics of a paper being were gradually fading away, looking more and more like a doll.

Yun Ran rested in the temporary office of the Special Administration Bureau, waiting for a long time without her Little Paperman returning, and her face darkened.

Wang Lin glanced at the angered Yun Ran and muttered softly to Liu An beside him: "Do you think those higher-ups really dared to seize Ranran’s Little Paperman?"

Usually, Liu An was very unrestrained, but at this moment, he was completely holding back his disposition, glancing at Yun Ran from time to time, feeling profound sympathy for her. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

He had seen the capabilities of the Little Paperman himself; a Little Paperman filled with spiritual wisdom was incredibly rare, not to mention it was a nemesis of evil spirits.

To hell with those higher-ups; even he felt a bit tempted, as it seemed even more useful than Magic Artifacts.

"We are valued by Director Xie after all; if they rob us of our items, Director Xie surely won’t just stand by."

Yun Ran tried to summon the Little Paperman back, but her summoning spell was ineffective, clearly indicating that the Little Paperman was trapped.

"Ding..."

The phone rang, and Yun Ran was surprised to see that it was Xie Xuzhi calling, so she picked up.

Everyone looked over as the atmosphere had been quite tense just moments before; with this incoming call, they also wanted to know who was about to have bad luck.

"How dare you even call me, have you not seen what kind of people you promoted? So short-sighted that they even dare to hold onto my Little Paperman.

It’s outright shameless, why don’t you offer up your Magic Artifacts for me to choose from and then just let it go if I pick one..."

Unbeknownst to Yun Ran, Xie Xuzhi was on speakerphone, and others were in the meeting room, listening to Yun Ran’s irony and curses.

Apart from Xie Xuzhi and his selected people, everyone else’s faces grew extremely awkward.

For they had just been discussing whether the growing Little Paperman in Yun Ran’s hands should be handed over to serve as a sample for the Magic Artifact research center of the Special Administration Bureau.

Sitting in the back, Gu Yuan wore a smirk full of irony; he found these people incredibly foolish and enjoyed how satisfyingly Yun Ran scolded them.

Isn’t that the epitome of shamelessness? Seeing something good and instantly wanting it for themselves, acting as if they are so great. His own boss, as the deputy director and the actual authority of the Special Administration Bureau, had never been so shameless.

In his opinion, the boss should outright demand that all Mystical Sect families behave and stop causing trouble.

However, when his gaze fell on his second uncle, Gu Yuan’s smile faded a bit.

Especially after his second uncle glared at him, Gu Yuan shrugged helplessly.

Well, as the black sheep among the noble family’s descendants, not considering his own family but only focusing on flattering Director Xie, he should be low-key after all.

After Yun Ran had her venting, Xie Xuzhi finally spoke indifferently: "We are in a meeting. Your Lent out Little Paperman has not only gained spiritual wisdom but can also self-cultivate and grow by absorbing evil energy.

Many from the Mystical Sect families are quite interested and want to use it as an experimental sample to refine the methods for other Magic Artifacts."

Yun Ran became even angrier: "Pah, wishful thinking. I warn you, if you dare touch my Little Paperman, we’re not finished. And then, don’t blame me for toppling over your den!"

She had received a trial invitation from the Xiahou Family before and thought about showing some respect, given that they were all part of the same system.

Back then, she considered just going through the motions, but now it seemed she had thought too much.

These guys were only interested in scraping good items into their own bowls, regardless of whether or not these items belonged to them.

If she didn’t teach these people a lesson, they would truly treat her like a pushover.

Xie Xuzhi was quite pleased with Yun Ran’s performance, and then he hung up the phone.

"Gentlemen, you’ve heard it yourselves. Yun Ran is hot-tempered and won’t give me face; we, the Special Administration Bureau, are not a band of bandits lusting over others’ powerful Magic Artifacts and robbing them.

This matter shouldn’t be brought up again in the future. Additionally, as the Little Paperman lent by Yun Ran has been quite helpful, I intend to allocate some resources to her specifically. Now, let’s adjourn the meeting!"

With that, Xie Xuzhi stood up with a definitive smile on his lips and left the room, followed by his loyalists.

"Director Xie is clearly biased, just because Yun Ran is his handpicked recruit! If we just handed over that Little Paperman, we could’ve found the method to create more, possibly even enabling our Magic Artifacts to gain spiritual wisdom too."

"This is clearly an attempt to suppress us, we definitely cannot just sit idly by. This is a rare opportunity we cannot miss."

"Now what do we do? We’ve trapped the Little Paperman using a special method, but Director Xie has made his declaration.

If we don’t release it, then Director Xie will justifiably reduce our resources."

"Release it first!"

"But..."

"Who says that once released, we cannot capture it again? If the regular path fails, then take the irregular one. Moreover, that Little Paperman isn’t the only one out there!"

...

Yun Ran was unaware that her two spiritually awakened Little Papermen had been targeted.

Song Ye, who was apprehending suspects out of town, looked at the Little Paperman leading the charge and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

A babyish voice could already be heard from afar: "Hey, ha, little thief, where do you think you’re running to, take grandpa’s punch!"
