Chapter 146: 145 encountered the biggest Waterloo in life!

Xiyeno Natsuo knew Zhao Mingzhu all too well. Since Zhao Mingzhu had asked, it indicated that the matter definitely involved her, and she must know the person in question.

A hint of jealousy arose in their hearts—if only they could control that power...

"I’ll have someone look into it right away, and I’ll notify you the moment there’s any news."

Zhao Mingzhung up the phone, feeling powerless for the first time.

Yun Ran stepped back onto land, her legs still a bit wobbly, but her complexion was much improved compared to before.

This caught Gu Yuan’s attention several times, and eventually, he leaned closer to whisper, "Do you have some kind of elixir? We’re all friends here, so don’t keep it to yourself."

Yun Ran: ...

She used to think her skin was quite thick, but compared to Gu Yuan, she was actually much more reserved.

At least, she could never bring herself to so naturally request something from someone.

"No!"

"Impossible, you looked like someone owed you billions just now, and now you’re glowing. You can’t fool me!"

There were no magical elixirs, but heaps of Merit Golden Light instead.

Yun Ran reached out, wanting Gu Yuan to feel the constitution of her new little golden figure.

Gu Yuan was taken aback, not understanding but still reached out his hand. However, before he could touch Yun Ran’s hand, Xie Xuzhi’s cold gaze fell upon him.

Gu Yuan’s hand retracted as if burned by something.

"Actually, it’s not that I really wanted it, I was just asking~"

With her back to Xie Xuzhi, Yun Ran naturally didn’t see his look. When Gu Yuan’s hand retracted, she took the opportunity to grasp his wrist directly.

Feeling the Merit emanating from Yun Ran, Gu Yuan’s eyes widened in amazement, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single coherent sentence.

"You... I... I..."

"No need to be envious. After all, Merit isn’t something just anyone can have. Keep up the good work, lad~"

Having successfully made Gu Yuan envious, Yun Ran hummed a tune and strutted away with a spring in her step.

Leaving Gu Yuan behind, filled with envy, jealousy, twisting in darkness, crawling in discontent,

Mumbling incoherently, "No, why, how come she’s treated differently..."

Yun Ran got into the car to go back, and suddenly remembered that the Little Paperman she sent out to convey a message hadn’t been retrieved yet.

After the lesson learned from the Little Paperman being taken in before, she couldn’t afford to be careless and quickly made a discreet gesture to call the Little Paperman back.

Xie Xuzhi also settled into his own seat when he heard a soft, child-like voice, "Excuse me, could you open the car door for me~~~"

Other cars, Little Paperman could leave effortlessly without greeting.

But Xie Xuzhi’s car had various protective Magic Artifact devices installed; Little Paperman couldn’t leave unnoticed.

The driver, upon hearing Little Paperman’s voice, couldn’t help but mutter to himself: This Little Paperman is pretty good at understanding human relationships.

Xie Xuzhi, with a stoic face, had the driver roll down the window, and the Little Paperman zoomed out like a pet dog unleashed, vanishing in an instant.

Watching the unhesitating departure of Little Paperman, Xie Xuzhi couldn’t help but feel there’s truth to the old saying:

Be it people or pets, even these little beings endowed with spiritual wisdom, they all follow whoever raises them, just identical to Yun Ran.

Others who had been transferred from the boat were now under the collective control of the Special Administration Bureau. They would be returned only after their mental recovery and signing a confidentiality agreement.

For those with a status like Yun Ran and Taoist Xia, they didn’t need to go through such procedures and could go wherever they wished.

Half an hour later, Yun Ran stood at the entrance of a high-class barbershop, constantly checking her phone.

She finally confirmed that the 388 RMB hair coloring package she found through a group deal was indeed for this place.

Sure enough, business is tough these days. Even such an upscale place had such affordable pricing. Could they really make enough to cover the rent?

Yun Ran, with her silver-white hair, had just reached the entrance when she was stunned by the young men and women lined up on both sides.

They were even more formal than the servants at the Yun Residence.

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

...

Everyone greeted her in unison, leaving Yun Ran feeling so awkward she wanted to dig a hole with her toes and escape.

A young man, obviously still with a hint of baby fat on his face, walked over holding an earpiece: "One VIP lady guest."

And less than a meter away, another sweet-looking young girl also holding an earpiece responded: "Got it, received!"

Yun Ran: ...

Seeing such a scene, Yun Ran was utterly shocked. Had the world really changed to this extent?

There was no need to shout; the person standing nearby could hear everything clearly, yet they still used earpieces to communicate. Hmm, she didn’t get it.

Although the original owner of her body was never favored in the Yun Family, after all, she was still a young miss of the Yun Household and really hadn’t had the experience of getting a haircut alone outside.

As for Yun Ran herself, being someone from the Qingfeng Temple, if she ever wanted to trim her hair, it would always be done in-house. She wouldn’t bother spending money on such things outside.

Thus, neither the original host nor Yun Ran had ever experienced getting a haircut in such a hair salon.

"Lady, may I ask what you need today?"

At that moment, Yun Ran had no idea that she was about to encounter the biggest fiasco of her life!

"I’m here to dye my hair."

The young man looked at Yun Ran’s hair and, with no surprise on his face, acted as if he had seen it all.

"Sure, no problem. Do you have a preferred stylist, ma’am?"

Yun Ran was puzzled again. She was just there to dye her hair, right? What did this have to do with a teacher?

After some explanation from the young man, Yun Ran learned that even just washing and dyeing hair involved so many subdivisions.

"Whoever is available will do," she said.

"Okay, please wait for a moment. I’ll check for you."

As he spoke, the young man started to inquire through his earpiece again, while Yun Ran’s gaze landed on several people watching videos not far away, seemingly so idle they were about to sprout mushrooms.

"Lady, our hairstylists are all currently occupied, only the specially-appointed senior technical director is available. Would that be alright with you?"

That title sounded incredibly impressive, so Yun Ran nodded her head.

After a series of operations and various A or B choices, in the end, Yun Ran successfully spent 12,800 RMB to get a card.

Only upon leaving the hair salon, to the sound of "We welcome you to visit us again!", did Yun Ran finally realize what had happened. She just wanted to dye her hair for 388 RMB, how did she end up spending 12,800 RMB?

Ginsengfruit adamantly refused to admit that it was also swayed by the persuasive sales talk just now, constantly egging Yun Ran on to spend money.

[Host, aren’t we earning money just to spend it? Come on, tell me, didn’t you feel exhilarated while spending just now?]

Yun Ran: ...
