Yun Ran glanced at her scattered silver-white hair on her shoulders.
She said nonchalantly, "It’s just a bit of vitality that’s been drained. It’s no big deal—I’m still young. At worst, I’ll just have to eat more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to nourish myself properly."
Gu Yuan was so angry this ti because he noticed that Yun Ran’s vital essence had been drained, which was essentially irreplaceable.
This was only because Yun Ran had an optimistic attitude. If she had been older, she probably would have had a breakdown by now.
After waking up, Yun Ran recovered at a surprising speed. Just a couple of days ago, she looked as if she was about to kick the bucket.
Now look at her, the second day after waking up, jumping around full of life and eating with great appetite.
Gu Yuan was pleased to see Yun Ran finish all the nutritious soup cleanly.
"If you’re bored, you can go around and visit so others. Everyone else is out of danger."
Yun Ran instantly grasped the subtext in Gu Yuan’s words.
That was to have her go out and make more contacts. Networking is beneficial, not to ntion that, as a do-gooder, she definitely needed to go out and shake so hands.
The idea of doing good deeds without seeking recognition is a fool’s errand.
Yun Ran gestured an ’ok’ sign at Gu Yuan: "Don’t worry, I’m professional at this~"
Gu Yuan suddenly rembered Yun Ran’s greedy expression from before and was reassured, then shifted most of his attention to dealing with other matters.
Yun Ran looked at her face in the mirror, which was actually quite rosy.
While she didn’t have a habit of seeking sympathy, when she wanted to bestow favors upon others, she couldn’t appear as if her losses were negligible.
Otherwise, the favor she had done could easily be forgotten.
While ’applying so heavy foundation’ on her face, Yun Ran felt that she had forgotten sothing as she looked into the mirror.
But she couldn’t rember what it was until she stepped outside, wandered around, and arrived at Master Jiechen’s ward, where she saw a cracked Magic Artifact on the little stand beside his bed.
It was only then that she finally rembered, she had completely forgotten about Mo Zhi the Ghost General.
Ginsengfruit also felt a little guilty for having forgotten as well.
[Host, if Mo Zhi knew that you used your full strength to employ the Power of Purification last ti, turning it into a ga of Evil Ghost extermination.
Will she turn dark? In those TV dramas about immortals and swordsn, many of the villains turn dark because of this!]
Of course, Yun Ran was not afraid of Mo Zhi—she only felt a pinprick of guilt.
But soon, she convinced herself.
"In such a dangerous situation, there was no ti to think so much. Besides, Mo Zhi is a Ghost General.
And she has my Prohibition on her, so she can’t die. At most, she would suffer a bit. If she turns dark because of this, I will definitely kick her back to the Ghost World!"
Having convinced herself, Yun Ran imdiately felt righteous and justified.
Unfortunately, whether it was the psychological changes or the shifts in expression, nobody noticed them because she had applied a layer of heavy foundation that others couldn’t see through.
It was Master Jiechen, however, who beca quite excited upon seeing Yun Ran.
Especially since Yun Ran’s complexion wasn’t very good, yet she eagerly ca to visit him, making Master Jiechen trendously moved.
"You’re not fully recovered yet. Why are you so anxious to get out of bed? If your condition worsens, what will we do?"
With that, Master Jiechen hurriedly handed over his treasure gourd that had been placed by his bedside to Yun Ran.
"This was specially sent by my nephew disciple; you should drink so quickly. We originally wanted Gu Chu to bring it to you, but you were still unconscious, so we had to use other dicines first."
Everyone who knows Master Jiechen is well aware of how much he treasures the Healing Liquid from his sect.
To date, there are only three people in the entire Special Administration Bureau who have had the chance to drink this Healing Liquid.
One is Xie Xuzhi, one is Daoist Qingmu, and the last one is Yun Ran.
Master Jiechen has been with the Special Administration Bureau for decades, and he’s not a stingy person. The fact that only three people have managed to get their hands on his treasured gourd says a lot about its preciousness.
[Host, is this what you humans often say, ’True affection is hard to retain; it’s only through cunning that hearts are won.’]
Listening to Ginsengfruit’s teasing, Yun Ran doesn’t mind. Even though she was disguised, her injury was real, as was her sacrifice.
"You wouldn’t understand, the world of humans is just like that."
Saying that, Yun Ran took the gourd from Master Jiechen, opened it, and took several gulps, feeling imdiately a cool and refreshing relief at her chest.
It’s a pity that this Healing Liquid is so valuable; otherwise, it would have been great as a sumr cold drink.
Master Jiechen watched Yun Ran drinking without any hesitation and felt even happier inside; he was growing more and more fond of this girl.
When Yun Ran was about to return the gourd to him, Master Jiechen quickly said, "It’s yours to keep!"
His gaze glanced at the damaged Magic Artifact next to him, and then he continued, "Oh, right, the situation was quite dangerous earlier, so I had Mo Zhi hide inside this Magic Artifact.
But her yin energy is too forceful, surpassing what the Magic Artifact could handle. The people from the inspection departnt are dealing with the aftermath, so it’s inconvenient for Mo Zhi to show up right now."
Yun Ran nodded. She hadn’t taken Mo Zhi on as a Ghost Servant.
Even if she told others that she had placed a Prohibition on Mo Zhi, which prevents her from randomly killing innocents, she was still a child and her words carried little weight. Nobody would let matters rest just on her assurance.
"I understand, I’ll take her back now."
Yun Ran’s hand had just reached out to take the Magic Artifact.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
After several noises, the once sturdy Magic Artifact shattered into several pieces.
The temperature in the patient room, which was normal just a mont ago, suddenly plumted. In no ti, the entire room turned chilly.
Wearing only the hospital’s patient gown, Yun Ran felt cold, with goosebumps forming on her arms.
Master Jiechen looked at Mo Zhi’s innocent face and for once, didn’t comnt.
Yun Ran also hadn’t expected the Ghost General to now serve as a giant ice cube.
Her yin energy wasn’t so overwhelming in the Illusion before.
Mo Zhi looked at Yun Ran’s sowhat speechless expression and felt a bit aggrieved, "Master, I’ve been holding back a lot, not daring to release any yin energy."
This is a hospital, and one where many mbers of the Special Administration Bureau are staying. She wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
Master Jiechen only saw Yun Ran pull out a Jade Magical Artifact the size of a thumb.
"You can stay in here for now."
Seeing that she had a new ho, Mo Zhi instantly cheered up.
Accidentally, she released so of her yin energy, turning the patient room as cold as an icehouse.
Before Yun Ran could get angry, Mo Zhi quickly hid inside the Magic Artifact.
