Chapter 166: 165 Two little weak chickens?

At night, Yun Ran was in a drowsy sleep when a gust of cold wind precisely entered her room.

The Golden Feather, which would disperse immediately upon detecting danger to Yun Ran’s life, did not react at all.

The Little Paperman stationed by the window slightly lifted its eyelids, then turned over and pressed itself against the glass, clearly not taking the matter seriously either.

The curse cast by Hei Mu Lianji, though a Death Sentence to ordinary people, was nothing more than a cool breeze at night to someone like Yun Ran.

The curse landed on Yun Ran’s body, like a cool patch, gently caressing her skin.

The cold touch made Yun Ran turn over, rub her arms, and casually pull over a thin blanket to cover herself.

Meanwhile, seated at the altar, Hei Mu Lianji hadn’t had time to disperse the look of certainty in his eyes when all the talismans around him lit up. Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

This scene startled Sakagawa Kiyoshi, who was nearby waiting for good news; he had never seen his senior vomit blood like this.

Sakagawa Kiyoshi rushed over, his eyes filled with anxiety, looking at the blood-covered man, his voice trembling, "Senior brother!"

Hei Mu Lianji, feeling as if his heart was tightly clenched and unable to breathe, had never faced such a disastrous defeat in his life after becoming a master.

He took a deep look at Sakagawa Kiyoshi, tightly grasped his hand, his face ashen, "Don’t... escape quickly..."

After saying these words, Hei Mu Lianji’s other hand that was clutching his chest suddenly loosened, and his head slumped unsupported.

Sakagawa Kiyoshi, his mind shattered by what was happening before him, tremulously reached out to check Hei Mu Lianji’s breath.

Upon confirming that his senior brother had stopped breathing, Sakagawa Kiyoshi was so shocked that he stumbled backward several steps and accidentally fell to the ground.

He muttered in utter disbelief, "How could this be, it was just a curse, how could it backlash and result in death..."

At this moment, Sakagawa Kiyoshi’s mind was blank, seemingly unable to comprehend his senior brother’s last words.

Yun Ran had a good night’s sleep and, after a simple wash-up, although still dressed in simple overalls, she donned a fabulously valuable emerald necklace around her neck.

She didn’t want to be seen as Taoist Xia’s little follower anymore. What she wore was her freedom, but to shut some people’s mouths, she still had to "dress up" a bit.

As to whether or not others enjoyed seeing her outfit, that was not her concern.

When she met with Taoist Xia, his eyes were fixated on Yun Ran’s emerald necklace.

The emerald beads, nearly as big as pigeon eggs.

"You actually have such a fine item!"

People who could enter the Special Administration Bureau were indeed not poor; taking on a single mission could garner tremendously rich rewards.

Taoist Xia felt his own wealth was quite substantial, but seeing Yun Ran don such a valuable piece of jewelry so casually, he felt somewhat sour inside.

"Oh, it was exchanged for my life; this is the compensation from the Zhao Family~"

Yun Ran’s tone was quite calm, as if she was talking about eating or drinking.

The Taoist Xia, who was initially envious and resentful, immediately withdrew his sighs, knowing such compensation was too hot for him to handle.

Yun Ran has become the hot topic among all the Xuan Sect masters of the Special Administration Bureau. After all, who is as fierce as her? She stayed in the Ghost World for almost two days and still came out hopping around energetically. She truly deserves the money.

Now, Taoist Xia truly understands what it means to fear that his brothers suffer, yet also fear that they drive luxury cars.

When they were led to verify their assets, many people’s gazes landed periodically on Yun Ran, who was equipped peculiarly.

While others were dressed in bright and beautiful Haute Couture, there was Yun Ran, dressed like a gatekeeper, yet wearing a necklace worth hundreds of millions.

But when Yun Ran looked at them, those people all showed a kindly smile and even took the initiative to greet her.

There wasn’t a single person from dramas or novels who looked down on others, which satisfied Yun Ran. This necklace did its job well.

However, certain people still acted as crickets, it was just the difference between acting in front and behind one’s back.

Yun Ran and her group passed the asset verification and soon left the area.

"Those two are new faces, does anyone recognize them?"

"A lot of strangers came to this auction, probably all here for the items consigned by the T-Rex Team."

"These people don’t stand out, but each one of them is an invisible tycoon, it’s better not to provoke them."

...

Taoist Xia and Yun Ran were led to the front seats of the second-floor grandstand, which had an excellent view, obviously a spot reserved for ’easy targets’ by the auction.

Just sitting down, nearby someone sized up Yun Ran’s overly young-looking pair.

But the person just glanced at them, confirmed they didn’t recognize them, and withdrew their gaze to chat with people around.

Only Yun Ran’s side was the quietest, making her somewhat uncomfortable.

"Those who received invitations should all be influential figures of the Xuan Sect circle, why don’t you go and greet those people?"

Taoist Xia looked at Yun Ran with an expression like looking at an idiot: "Right now, I am Han Dingqian, not Taoist Xia. No one recognizes me.

And although you have made a big name in the Xuan Sect circle, your foundation is still too shallow, and there are very few who know you."

Yun Ran: ...

Right now, to outsiders, they just look like two powerless chicks, no one would take notice of them.

Once they get the Nine Yang Grass, they could easily hide anywhere. Maybe by the time some people figure out their identities, they would have already consumed the Nine Yang Grass.

Yun Ran gave Taoist Xia a thumbs up: "You’re awesome, haven’t even gotten the item yet but already planned a perfect retreat."

Taoist Xia suddenly became arrogantly proud: "What do you know, little girl, follow me and learn more. The society is complex, there are many bad people out there, lest you get sold and still help count money for others!"

Yun Ran didn’t react much, but Ginsengfruit almost died laughing.

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, Host, this guy has the nerve to teach you – he probably doesn’t know that when there are no Evil Cultivators or Demons around, you are the bad guy~]

Yun Ran didn’t bother with Ginsengfruit’s ’slander’, she just looked around inconspicuously, and then felt slightly regretful that there wasn’t a single Evil Cultivator around.

Though the Nine Yang Grass is a supremely yang and rigid substance, lethal to Evil Cultivators, they didn’t even think about causing trouble or destroying the Nine Yang Grass.
