Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 138 - 137 This mentality is incredible

[Host, is someone trying to trap you? But they don’t seem to have any ill intentions...]

A domain without cause and effect does little harm to people; it merely causes them to lose their way.

Yun Ran’s gaze turned to the end of the corridor. The distance seemed short, but if one trusted their eyes, they would never be able to escape.

"If it were any other time, I might play along and let myself be trapped to see what their intentions are, but not now."

As she spoke, Yun Ran brought her index and middle fingers together, gently tracing them in front of her eyes. The eyes that used to be deceived by illusions could now see through all the falsehoods.

Ginsengfruit noticed that Yun Ran had no intention of directly destroying or taking over the domain, so he knew that Yun Ran did not plan to confront the trappers openly.

At this moment, those on the deck saw the pirate ship rapidly approaching.

Knowing that the pirates had noticed the change and no longer planned to hide, they decided to go on the offensive.

Several of them chose the right moment to leap onto the pirate ship, and in the darkness cloaked by night, a series of muffled grunts soon emanated from the pirate ship.

By the time Yun Ran successfully walked out of the domain, everyone on the pirate ship had been thrown into the sea, leaving only a sinking ghost ship behind.

Yun Ran furrowed her brows—some familiar auras lingered, but no figures were in sight.

"It’s them again!"

While trapped, Yun Ran had speculated that it might be the people who had previously aided her, and now it seemed she was right.

"What exactly do these people want? They are not only non-malicious towards me, but they’ve also been continuously helping me. Could they be allies who cannot reveal themselves?"

Ginsengfruit hurriedly nodded in agreement: [Host, I have the same feeling.]

Then Yun Ran smacked her lips, feeling for the first time that she might not be all-capable.

She had come to deal with the pirates, only to come up empty.

Watching the pirate ship being completely submerged by the seawater, Yun Ran slowly turned around, planning to meet up with Taoist Xia.

However, what Yun Ran did not know was that just after she left, right now, on the second-floor balcony overlooking the deck,

The young men who had dealt with the pirates with ruthlessly efficient methods all wore dumbfounded expressions.

"No way, is the young miss so formidable and bold?"

To be able to break the boss’s domain and daringly stand alone on the deck, watching the pirate ship sink, showed an unparalleled mindset.

If anyone dares say the young miss is a little trash, he would be the first to disagree.

The one called Boss was also uncharacteristically silent at this moment.

He had used his strongest defensive measure to trap the young miss, not wanting her to witness the brutal scene.

Yet, not only did the young miss emerge in very little time, but he was also utterly unaware of it.

This only meant one thing: the young miss’s methods were above his.

"Boss, it looks like the young miss will be fine. So about the mission..."

If the young miss were truly a naive young lady, their primary mission would be to protect her.

Now that it was clear that the young miss surpassed them in skill, their natural course of action was to complete their original mission.

"Continue with the mission that the teacher entrusted us with; keep an eye on those people. Once they capture the Dragon Spirit of the Water Dragon Vein, we act. If we can’t snatch it, destroy it!"

Who would have thought that many on this ship were carefully selected because their birth information was special, destined to be sacrificial offerings to the Water Dragon Vein.

The others were either targeted by those with ulterior motives or simply unlucky, caught in the crossfire.

"If we hadn’t infiltrated their ranks, we would have been oblivious to the Water Dragon Vein’s presence in these seas. The ancestral message is indeed true."

On mentioning this, the crowd unusually fell into silence. Their families, oppressed by the mainstream Xuanmen people and relentlessly pursued by the Evil Cultivators, had suffered greatly over the years.

If it weren’t for the teacher, they would have been scattered and struggling to survive.

The leading man looked into the distant darkness, his expression tinged with indescribable sorrow.

During the great Xuan Sect conflict, their families were weak and could only serve as the lowest minions.

When it came time to settle scores, their families, like others who wavered in allegiance, were stripped of their Xuan Sect family credentials.

They became outcasts, some unwilling to give up their heritage and continuing to secretly teach their children, hoping for a chance to rise.

Others simply integrated into ordinary life, letting their descendants become ordinary people.

Scorned by the Righteous Path Xuanmen people and hunted by the Evil Cultivators—who even kidnapped many of their people for Evil Technique practices—their families had suffered heavy casualties in just over a century.

If their ancestors had committed crimes, they would have accepted their fate without complaint.

But their ancestors were only weak and had no choice. To protect themselves, they became insignificant pawns, without committing any evil deeds.

The truly wicked had been dealt with during the purges.

Weakness is the original sin, but to be oppressed or even exterminated thus, they could not accept it!

If it weren’t for the teacher, by now, many of them might have turned to the path of the Evil Cultivator, even coming to hate everyone in this world.

"Asheng, you stay behind and keep an eye on the young miss. Take the chance to send her away. The rest of you, stay with me to complete the mission!"

The youth called Asheng opened his mouth but ultimately held back his words. The young miss’s safety was crucial, and so was the mission.

They had all been prepared for sacrifice upon boarding the cruise ship; sentimental words were unnecessary.

"Yes, Boss."

Yun Ran returned to the first-floor lobby of the cruise ship, where numerous shops displayed their products in orderly fashion, now a messy sight.

A place that should have been bustling was now eerily quiet like a scene from an apocalyptic story.

At this time, those daring to walk around were either capable individuals or evildoers.

"Stop right there!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Yun Ran calmly turned around.

An entirely unfamiliar face, yet one clearly stained with blood, his eyes revealing intense murderous intent.

Yun Ran mentally categorized this man as one who could be killed.

Perhaps Yun Ran appeared too cute and vulnerable, the man instinctively relaxed, holstered his gun, and strode towards Yun Ran.

He held custom-made zip ties, clearly intending to bind someone.

When Asheng arrived, he saw Yun Ran subduing a burly man, slapping his face repeatedly.
