Chapter 1333 - 1329: Yun Ran Got a Free Ride
The feeling of dreadful cold, like a maggot on the bones, cannot be deeply contemplated.
It was at this moment that the Azure Dragon clearly recognized a fact; he couldn’t continue being led by the nose by Yun Ran.
Otherwise, he would be completely ensnared in the whirlpool that Yun Ran intentionally created.
Looking at Yun Ran again, there was an obvious wariness in Azure Dragon’s eyes. Yun Ran’s methods, seemingly trivial, were easily underestimated.
Yet, they’re quite effective. Those without strong willpower might unknowingly be influenced.
Even he was provoked into anger by those eerie words.
After calming himself, he finally spoke: "Under the heavens, all land belongs to the king. The Mei City territory, if the Royal Family wishes to requisition it, it’s within the bounds of etiquette."
Yun Ran raised her eyebrows, the Azure Dragon’s reliance on royal authority to refute her claims about these people occupying her land was indeed reasonable.
Hold on, does this statement imply that among the intruders, there’s a member of the Royal Family?
Yun Ran’s mood instantly turned less jovial; she hated dealing with such excessively high-status individuals—troublesome!
She immediately lost the urge to continue the verbal sparring; her expression fell, as if the other party owed her several small goals.
"Alright, I can’t afford to mess with privilege. Speak, what exactly do you intend to do!"
Yun Ran’s directness was evidently what Azure Dragon and his group wanted.
Before coming here, Azure Dragon genuinely was merely accompanying the Young Prince on a trip to this place.
The rumors around Mei City were incredibly outlandish, making the Royal Family uneasy, fearing the emergence of uncontrollable risks.
However, he didn’t expect there to be a Dragon Spirit here with terrifying power; he had used his trump card just to barely trap the Dragon Spirit.
And now, there’s a troublesome Yun Ran, and Azure Dragon didn’t know whether to call his luck good or bad.
The bald monk’s gaze fell on the Peach Wood Sword in Yun Ran’s hand, which appeared unassuming.
But the power of this sword, he had experienced before, he even faintly detected a hint of space-breaking power on the sword stance.
Facing insurmountable power, even the Divine Servant of the Divine Hall couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable fear.
A very faint thought swirled in his mind: that behind Yun Ran, there must stand an Immortal.
Just as Azure Dragon was about to state his purpose, the bald monk stepped forward and interrupted.
"It’s getting late."
None present were fools; everyone understood the meaning behind these words instantly.
Azure Dragon and the bald monk grew up together, their mutual understanding needed no excessive words.
Suddenly, the words on the tip of Azure Dragon’s tongue were swallowed.
Yun Ran narrowed her eyes slightly; even though she knew the bald monk did it on purpose, she didn’t expose him.
"Then let’s talk tomorrow during the day. Hopefully, your Royal Family member will also be here. My time is very precious!"
The only one thoroughly confused throughout was the Dragon Spirit.
He had never seen such a negotiation pace; clearly, just minutes ago, the atmosphere was tense and confrontational.
Yun Ran had always held the upper hand, constantly delivering verbal slaps to the opponents.
How did it suddenly shift from temporary reconciliation to the bald monk inexplicably starting to rush people out?
Could it be that humans with profound cultivation are all this quirky?
In this light, Yun Ran as well as Junior Master and those Qingfeng Temple ancestors suddenly seemed very normal.
With this comparison, when Dragon Spirit looked at the bald monk and his companions, his eyes nearly overflowed with disdain.
He couldn’t help but mutter a couple of lines: "Who could be good if they dare take on a symbol of auspiciousness like me—Dragon Spirit!!!"
Yun Ran didn’t intend to leave this guest courtyard. First, she couldn’t return to her own courtyard for now, and second, she didn’t trust these two individuals.
Dragon Spirit was still trapped; she wouldn’t be at ease if she didn’t stay here to watch over him.
Dragon Spirit was a treasure trove, and even she had never actively coveted him. If Dragon Spirit’s blood, scales, etc., fell into someone else’s hands, she’d be at a huge loss.
The gravitational impact within the courtyard remained.
Initially, Yun Ran was greatly affected by this gravity, but now she had adapted to much of it.
At least moving around wasn’t as difficult as at the beginning.
Now her movements were only slightly slow.
Yun Ran directly reached into her bag and pulled out a bag containing a simple tent, shook it hard, and the tent’s shape started to appear.
Throughout, she did not avoid anyone, clearly intending for Azure Dragon to see that she possessed these rare treasures.
When the bald monk saw Yun Ran hadn’t left, but instead took out a simple tent, his eyes filled with clear confusion.
Immediately, his gaze moved toward the direction hidden by a cloak.
"The legendary Qiankun Bag?"
The voice was so low, even Azure Dragon standing nearby didn’t hear it.
Yun Ran didn’t care what these two thought and quickly set up the tent.
Once inside, Yun Ran sat cross-legged.
Such a good cultivation site—wasting it would be a tremendous loss.
Back when she spent a large sum, she could only find a cultivation room with up to five times the gravity—limited by time and identity.
Now, this place is naturally and freely ten times the gravity, using it for sleep would be pure folly.
Azure Dragon and the bald monk could never dream that the methods they used with Magic Artifacts tailored for defense against foreign enemies were now exploited by Yun Ran.
Yun Ran took out a Small Jade Bottle from her chest, poured out a pill and swallowed it.
Then she pasted various Defense Talismans, Attack Talismans all over inside the simple tent and placed several special Array Plates.
Only then did she satisfyingly begin her cultivation.
Yun Ran was carefree, completely ignoring what Azure Dragon and the bald monk thought about the conspicuously placed tent in the courtyard.
The bald monk opened his mouth but ultimately swallowed the words, knowing bickering now was pointless.
"Let’s go to the adjacent room first."
Clearly, the bald monk had something important to discuss with Azure Dragon.
The two left, not worried in the slightest about Dragon Spirit breaking free, or Yun Ran launching a surprise attack.
The courtyard suddenly felt empty, while Dragon Spirit, floating in mid-air, only the size of an ox, with tears of emotion streaming from his eyes.
"Wha-wha... I knew it, Yun Ran is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, worrying I’d be ambushed and is purposely staying here with me..."
