Chapter 172: 171 Men actually love to cry too!

The spiritual attacks that not even Xuanmen people can necessarily withstand are basically useless on Yun Ran; they’re just a bit noisy.

Too bad she can’t block it by merely covering her ears, otherwise she might have just let it be.

Yun Ran waved her hand, and Little Paperman immediately flew out from its perch on the window.

Taoist Xia, who was silently crumbling, twisted his head to see the shadow of Little Paperman flying out, just as the transparent film over his eyes fell back into place.

That ghostly wail, akin to summoning souls, reached his ears, and Taoist Xia looked at Yun Ran with a face full of shock.

"No way, are you violating the Heavenly Law? Why do Evil Cultivators target you wherever you go? The Heavenly Dao really seems out to get you!"

Taoist Xia’s Heavenly Eye really was a bug; once activated, he could practically know everything. Yun Ran felt she was almost transparent in front of him.

Was it her desire to encounter troubles all the time? It was the damn Life Chart causing all the ghosts to follow her wherever she went.

All she could do was spread her hands helplessly: "What can I do? Not being favored by the Heavenly Dao is like those beauties who attract jerks - a sure hit every time."

For the average person, just running into something like this would mean certain death.

Perhaps it was because he was contrasted with Yun Ran, who was essentially a walking disaster, that Taoist Xia suddenly felt it wasn’t that bad for himself.

He even had the mood to start consoling Yun Ran: "Don’t worry, trouble is just trouble. After all, you can’t die. Oh, right, I’ll be heading out to look for the Nine Yang Grass soon, so you better not follow."

Taoist Xia clearly thought Yun Ran’s misfortune, the one marked by Heavenly Dao, would affect his search for Nine Yang Grass.

Yun Ran: ...

In the blink of an eye, Little Paperman had arrived at Hei Mu Lianji’s dojo and saw the two little ghosts who were wailing around the old monk. Seeing one’s enemy inflamed the situation.

With an ’┗|｀O′|┛Ao~~’, it charged over, moving so fast that even the old monk couldn’t react, and the two little ghosts were sent flying by Little Paperman’s slap.

Sakagawa Kiyoshi, seeing Little Paperman, immediately burst into rage: "Master, this is that little wretch’s trick!"

The old monk, however, was not as furiously enraged as expected; instead, he watched with interest as Little Paperman slapped the two little ghosts into silence.

Having completed its master’s task, Little Paperman was immediately satisfied, patting off the non-existent dust from its hands.

As for the burning gaze of curiosity from the old monk and the hateful look from the idiot who released the Demon Soul, they had no effect on Little Paperman.

With a swoosh, Little Paperman vanished from the sight of Sakagawa Kiyoshi and the others.

It was like watching a mosquito intently, not even blinking an eye, yet the mosquito just vanishes.

The look in Sakagawa Kiyoshi’s eyes deepened: "Master...this..."

The smile on the old monk’s face deepened: "Well, as the old saying in Hua Country goes, it’s like finding something you’re looking for without any effort after looking everywhere!"

He had been searching for Artifact Refining techniques for many years and had never found any, yet today he saw them in a Little Paperman.

Moreover, he was certain that Little Paperman was not weak and had even developed its own spiritual wisdom, enabling it to think simply.

If he could get the method for crafting Little Paperman, he would become the number one in Artifact Refining.

The two little ghosts had been beaten to a shiver and now huddled in a corner, not daring to move, still unaware of how the old monk might deal with them.

A very ordinary rope flew out of the old monk’s hand; the rope, full of spirit, rushed over and neatly tied the two little ghosts up tight.

Sakagawa Kiyoshi watched his teacher’s actions, a surge of unease welling up in his heart.

Sure enough, a warning tone from the teacher followed: "From today onwards, Yun Ran will be your junior sister. I don’t want to see you siblings of the same sect killing each other again, understand?"

Sakagawa Kiyoshi’s heart sank to the bottom. He had an extremely good relationship with his senior brother.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fled to his senior brother’s side as soon as he got injured, and his senior brother would not have sought vengeance without asking for a reason.

Now that his senior brother was dead, the teacher had actually taken a liking to Yun Ran’s skills, and even asked him to let go of the grudge and live in peace with Yun Ran.

But he knew all too well the means of his teacher—if he dared to go against the teacher’s wishes, he feared he wouldn’t even be able to leave his senior brother’s dojo.

Sakagawa Kiyoshi could only hang his head low, grinding his back teeth in resignation.

From beginning to end, neither of them had considered the possibility that Yun Ran would reject this situation. They assumed that once they had made the decision, the matter would be settled.

The two little ghosts who were tied up had now turned into a ’welcome gift’ from the old monk to his new little disciple, Yun Ran.

Little Paperman had not taken more than 3 minutes to go and return, and Taoist Xia was surprised to see Little Paperman reappear so quickly.

His eyes darted about, and he immediately took notice.

"I can see your Little Paperman is really efficient at getting things done. I’m going to look for Nine Yang Grass later. I only have one pair of eyes, so could you lend me Little Paperman? Having an extra pair of eyes makes things easier..."

While speaking, Taoist Xia remembered the reality of being a sucker and his eyes immediately became red-rimmed.

Yun Ran: ...

Now, she had certainly broadened her horizons—who says only women like to cry? Men love to cry too!

"Alright, alright, I’ll lend him to you, is that okay?"

Really, the sight of him gave her goosebumps.

Taoist Xia took Little Paperman with him, bouncing away cheerfully, and Yun Ran finally had some free time to slowly sort through the things she had purchased.

She casually placed a trinket to one side, planning to focus on dealing with the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures she had bought.

Suddenly, Ginsengfruit began to shriek: [Host, quick, look, the eyes on that trinket are moving!!!]

Yun Ran was turned away from the trinket. Hearing what Ginsengfruit said, she turned her head and met the gaze of the rolling eyes of one of the trinkets.

That trinket also didn’t expect to be caught red-handed and immediately stopped moving, thinking it was safe by doing so.

Yun Ran, curious, picked up the trinket. Prior to Ginsengfruit’s reminder, she hadn’t noticed anything odd about it.

Especially now, she still hadn’t discovered any unusual aura on the trinket, which was truly strange.

An object capable of concealing its aura was no simple matter—had she stumbled upon a bargain?

Yun Ran poked the trinket’s face: "What kind of thing are you, exactly?"

The trinket continued to play dead.

"I’m pretty formidable, you know. If you keep playing dead, I might make you really die!"

As she spoke, Yun Ran took out her Peach Wood Sword, gesturing as if to say "move again, and I’ll hack you" with her stance.

At this, the trinket finally got scared. Its big eyes filled with mist, sporting a pitiful look as if begging for mercy.
