Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

The fragrance emitted by the Merit Golden Light made Er Dan, who was already full, instantly hungry again, and drool even started to drip.

"Is this really all for me?"

Er Dan’s voice turned into a squeaky tone out of happiness.

Mo Zhi quickly extended his hand to offer the Merit Golden Light in front of Er Dan again: "Yes, all of this is a reward for Lord Dan."

Perhaps it was because of the Merit Golden Light, or maybe it was because it was the first time someone had called it "Lord." In the past, many people did refer to it as "little ancestor."

In any case, Er Dan was very happy now, and even found Mo Zhi more pleasing to the eye.

However, even in his joy, Er Dan hadn’t forgotten his aloof persona.

"Hmm, since you’re insisting on compensating, then I won’t be polite. In the future, if anything comes up, mention my name, it works!"

Once the process was complete, Er Dan opened its mouth and swallowed the Merit Golden Light offered by Mo Zhi.

An unprecedented sense of comfort swept through Er Dan’s entire body in an instant.

This change occurred inside Er Dan’s body, while the external change was that a tuft of golden hair suddenly appeared on Er Dan’s forehead.

Mo Zhi watched as the tuft of hair changed from a faint gray to golden.

Even though she had lived for a long time and had seen a lot, this scene still left Mo Zhi dumbfounded.

She knew how important the Merit Golden Light was; otherwise, as a Ghost King back then, she couldn’t have ignored bottlenecks and easily advanced.

Yet, regardless of whether it was her or Yun Ran, such a substantial change had never occurred to them like it did to Er Dan.

A hint of fear gradually appeared in Mo Zhi’s eyes.

She seemed to finally understand the phrase "there are mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people" and realized that such a heaven-defying existence was why the Heavenly Dao couldn’t tolerate it being born.

Thinking of this, Mo Zhi became even more respectful, though in her heart, no matter how powerful Er Dan was, it could only rank second place.

Her admiration for the master was as endless as the flowing river, unstoppable by any external factor.

"What are you looking at!"

Er Dan’s senses were very sharp, and it noticed Mo Zhi’s ’malicious’ gaze, prompting it to glare back immediately.

Mo Zhi didn’t even dare to let out a fart, and even put on a smiling face: "Please calm down, Lord Dan. I am just in awe of you."

It is often said that flattery always works, and there is some truth to it.

At least now, Er Dan felt quite pleased.

In fact, it even started considering Mo Zhi, who wasn’t very familiar, as half of its own ally.

"Since you seem to be sensible, I’ll give you this~"

Mo Zhi hadn’t even noticed when Er Dan plucked a feather from its body.

At this moment, she was dumbfoundedly staring at the feather in front of her, completely unsure what use this feather had, which made Er Dan say it like it was a bargain for her.

"Lord Dan, this feather is..."

Mo Zhi didn’t think Er Dan was belittling her by giving her a feather; she was purely curious.

Er Dan arrogantly raised its head: "This place has a special energy field, and the wind that just attacked you was just an appetizer. My feather can help you withstand most of the suppression."

If it hadn’t considered Mo Zhi half an ally, it wouldn’t have wasted its feather, not even for the closest Ginsengfruit.

"Uh~"

A loud belch suddenly echoed, and Er Dan suddenly felt a bit sleepy.

The entrance to this cave wasn’t a good place for sleeping and resting.

"Alright then, I’m heading back. You stay here and guard properly."

With that, Er Dan ignored Mo Zhi and dragged the remnants of the wind it had left before, heading back.

Mo Zhi opened her mouth, but in the end, swallowed her words, while tightly holding onto the feather that still seemed to glisten.

Er Dan swaggered back to Yun Ran, initially planning to talk about what happened earlier.

But upon seeing Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit quietly doing their own things, it didn’t dare to make a sound.

Moreover, feeling a bit sleepy, it also found a flat spot, sat down directly, tucked its head under its wing, and fell asleep in no time.

Even while busy, Yun Ran could still stay aware of the surrounding changes.

She thought that with Er Dan back, it would surely be chattering nonsensically.

Yet it had been a long wait, and Er Dan hadn’t uttered a single word, instead falling asleep on the ground.

This isn’t right!

Even though she sometimes found Er Dan annoying, if anything were really wrong with Er Dan, Yun Ran couldn’t help but worry a little.

Unusual events always require attention, so Yun Ran temporarily set aside what she was doing and turned to look at Er Dan.

The faint light around couldn’t block Yun Ran from seeing Er Dan lying on the ground, which was obviously larger and its aura had significantly strengthened.

How long did it go out wandering to gain such a fortune?

Now Yun Ran wanted to slap herself for the earlier worry.

Given this creature’s bloodline, even if half of the world died, it could still live well, so where was the need for her concern!

Probably envious of herself being busy like a dog, while Er Dan could sleep peacefully.

Yun Ran picked up a small stone next to her, and precisely threw it at Er Dan’s back.

"Get up!"

An unbearably sleepy Er Dan, with eyes barely open, was forcibly woken by Yun Ran’s disturbance.

It struggled to move its head out from under its wing, eyelids half-closed.

This scene instantly balanced out Yun Ran’s feelings.

"You’re sleeping in the wrong position, get up and sleep again!"

Er Dan: ...

Previously, it was truly unbearably sleepy and had lingering effects from being forcibly woken up.

But now, after hearing Yun Ran’s harsh words, it was completely awake.

If it hadn’t fully matured and was still bound by the Prohibition that Yun Ran set, needing Yun Ran’s control,

Er Dan seriously wanted to rush over, fight Yun Ran for three hundred rounds, and then stomp Yun Ran onto the ground, making her admit fault a million times.

"Whoa, what’s with that look, dissatisfied?"

Er Dan, after being briefly angry, quickly coaxed itself. It was not the time to break with Yun Ran.

It immediately put on a flattering smile: "No, no, I just woke up drowsy and didn’t manage my expressions well~"

While saying this, Er Dan was crying inside.

If only it hadn’t come back, what was wrong with sleeping directly at the cave entrance?

Just a second ago, it was being called "Lord" and praised, and a second later, it had to act subservient before Yun Ran.

Wuwuwu...

Truly, a bird’s life is tough, with not an ounce of bird rights (꒦_꒦).
