Chapter 191: Chapter 190: Those Uniquely ’Favored’ by the Heavenly Dao

The Taoist Xia, who had previously felt confident he wouldn’t be jealous, now truly experienced a slight crack in his defenses.

As a member of Xuan Sect, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to acquire Merit.

Yet now, the Merit emanating from Yun Ran had turned her into a little golden figure, an amount others could not earn in their entire lives.

He had not believed in the saying that "after extreme misfortune comes fortune," but now, having seen Yun Ran, he believed it.

Heavenly Dao closed a door for Yun Ran but opened a window for her.

Ha~ how ridiculous, she isn’t someone forsaken by the Heavens at all, but rather someone ’favored’ in an unusual way by Heavenly Dao!

The Merit had not been fully absorbed by Yun Ran; the blinding golden light made Taoist Xia want to reach out and touch, to feel what this overwhelming Merit Golden Light was like.

Suddenly, some of the Merit Golden Light on the outskirts, as if sensing someone’s intent to touch them, naughtily flew towards the palm of Taoist Xia.

A gentle, warm current made Taoist Xia suddenly withdraw his hand. Although it was only a few grains of Merit Golden Light, it allowed Taoist Xia to see clearly in an instant.

Taoist Xia’s face was full of shock; the backlash in his eyes seemed to have lessened a lot because of the Merit Golden Light.

But before he had time to rejoice, those few naughty grains of Merit Golden Light swiftly flew out from his palm and plunged back into the circle of Merit Golden Light swirling around Yun Ran.

Taoist Xia looked at his palm and then at Yun Ran, who still glittered like a little golden figure, his shock overturning all his previous understandings.

Why did the Merit he knew seemed different from the Merit surrounding Yun Ran?

Fortunately, he was rational enough to immediately stay by Yun Ran’s side as her protector, allowing her to absorb these grains of Merit Golden Light without distractions.

In no time, the Merit Golden Light was wholly divided between Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit, and the glaring golden light on Yun Ran finally dissipated.

Taoist Xia wasn’t the kind to dwell on problems and brood over them.

He immediately asked Yun Ran, "Why is your Merit Golden Light different from the one I know? I’ve never seen Merit Golden Light with its own consciousness before."

Hearing Taoist Xia’s words, Yun Ran was also stunned for a moment and thought carefully. Indeed, it seemed to be the case.

Before she transmigrated into the novel, although Merit was hard to earn, it wasn’t impossible, and it was indeed somewhat different from the current Merit.

"Ginsengfruit, do you know what’s going on?"

Ginsengfruit was also a bit confused. It was just a System, previously attached to a Magic Artifact, and if it hadn’t been bound to Yun Ran, it wouldn’t even know that Merit could restore the energy it consumed.

[I don’t know either.]

"In principle, my current body’s Life Chart is one that is forsaken by Heavenly Dao. Even if my cultivation is significant, Heavenly Dao could easily kill me.

But now, it seems that Heavenly Dao can’t do anything about me, and it’s probably not just because I summoned the ancestral spirit and was given the Phoenix feathers for protection.

Previously, I didn’t take the original host’s biological father seriously, even if I knew there were people under him, I didn’t pay much attention, but now it seems that there are problems with the original host’s identity."

Ginsengfruit suddenly felt an itch in its ’head’ as if it were about to grow a brain.

With all these questions in her mind, Yun Ran certainly wouldn’t tell anyone.

Suddenly, she looked at Taoist Xia with a mysterious expression: "Heavenly Secrets must not be disclosed!"

Taoist Xia, faced with matters concerning Heavenly Secrets, wasn’t someone who would stubbornly question further.

Still, there was a fleeting look of disappointment on his face; he had thought he might learn something.

Taoist Xia’s eyes had recovered. He was hiding here just for recuperation, and now, he could return to his country.

However, considering the current standoff between the Yun Family and the Xiyeno Family, it would not be easy for Yun Ran and Yun Qing to leave Yinghua Country ostentatiously.

"I’ll arrange a special plane to come pick us up."

As a leading figure in the Special Administration Bureau, Taoist Xia had certain privileges, such as being able to call upon a special plane unconditionally anywhere in the world three times a year.

Yun Ran instantly felt her defenses break down: Family, who would understand? Belonging to the same system, why are others so outstanding, while she’s just a temporary worker!!!

The two now felt a tinge of sourness in their hearts as they looked at each other, both broken down by the other’s ’special’ status.

"Yun Jinyang is still here. I need to stay and keep an eye on things, at least to ensure he doesn’t die. Otherwise, who knows if I’d have good days ahead with a new person in charge of the Yun Family."

Although she still found the Yun Family somewhat distasteful, at least for now, the current situation seemed to be the optimal solution.

After all, Yun Jinyang was always on his toes with his intelligence. As long as she remained of value, she, as the third young miss of the Yun Family, would retain the honor she deserved.

Taoist Xia thought for a moment and understood Yun Ran’s concerns; instability in the background could lead to major problems.

He kind of wanted to continue staying here with Yun Ran, but he was not someone free of duties; he had to hurry back to deliver the Nine Yang Grass.

"Fine, I’ll take Yun Qing back with me, to avoid her being a nuisance here."

Now, Taoist Xia truly regarded Yun Ran as one of his own. It was, of course, best to help sort out some troublesome matters.

That very afternoon, the special plane arrived. Even the Xiyeno Family, having cast a Heavenly Net, could not discern the reality of a foreign special plane.

Yun Qing, escorted onto the plane, was somewhat numb, surrounded by tall men armed to the teeth.

Especially since the aura emanating from these men seemed far more terrifying than any mercenaries she had encountered in M country.

If it weren’t for the man who treated her wound accompanying her onto the plane, and had Yun Ran warned her not to cause trouble, she might have doubted whether she was being sold off.

Upon returning to her home country and seeing familiar national characteristics and linguistic environment, she felt completely dazed.

Wasn’t it said that the Xiyeno Family could cover the sky with one hand in Yinghua Country? How had she returned to her country so easily?

Until Taoist Xia arranged for her to be sent to her private plane back to Hai City, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

She asked, "Am I safe now? Who are you people?"

If not for Yun Ran’s sake, Taoist Xia wouldn’t have made such careful arrangements.

Listening to Yun Qing’s inquiry, of course, he hoped that this second daughter of the Yun Family would remember Yun Ran’s kindness.

"What we are doesn’t matter to you. You just need to remember, if Yun Ran hadn’t wanted to save you, you might have truly met your demise in a foreign land."

After speaking, Taoist Xia left with the remaining people.

Leaving Yun Qing alone to speculate.
