Dragon Spirit didn’t expect Yun Ran to be such a toady when speaking, which made it even angrier.
Right away it started arguing with Yun Ran: "Show what you’ve got and take him on. How co you aren’t treating him like you did with , why the double standard!!!"
Yun Ran: ...
Is it possible that I’m no match for him? Otherwise, why would I let you do it?
Dragon Spirit instantly understood the unspoken words in Yun Ran’s eyes, and that made it even angrier.
Back when it was still Jiao Long, it was the top dog, doing whatever it wanted, never taking crap from anyone.
It didn’t expect that after its Dragon Transformation, not only was it restricted at every turn, but now it was even being called a Little Loach. What a huge loss in becoming a dragon!
General had never seen before anyone who could start arguing right in front of him; such a thing would never have existed a thousand years ago.
Not sure what he thought of, he suddenly asked: [Is there any alcohol?]
At this mont, Yun Ran was full of question marks. Although this General seed to be no ordinary ghost, could ghosts drink alcohol?
[I am neither human, nor ghost, nor immortal, nor demon; naturally, I can drink.]
Yun Ran suddenly ca to a realization, no wonder the bell left by her ancestor and the Token that could open the Ghost World had no effect in front of this General.
Afterward, Yun Ran felt sowhat dismayed. If this person were a ghost, then she could use that Token for the Ghost World to forcibly send him away.
Dragon Spirit, who had been puffed up with anger just a mont ago, first thing scratched out a bottle of red wine from sowhere and passed it over.
Yun Ran: ...
Guess this counts as another instance of "the mouth says no, but the body says yes."
Dark tentacles reached out and took the red wine.
With a "pop," the tentacles broke off the mouth of the bottle, and General took a sip only to disdainfully spit it out.
[Disgusting!]
Dragon Spirit was imdiately displeased; what was so disgusting about it?
This was what it had bought specially from abroad after selling many sea water pearls and conch pearls, a bottle worth nearly a hundred thousand.
Such an ancient relic that can’t keep up with the tis!
Yun Ran thought for a mont and took out a bottle of aged wine from her bag, which she had originally prepared to bring back for her Shi Shu, but sadly, she had been transported into a book.
General received the aged wine, completely ignoring Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit, as if he wasn’t worried they would escape.
At this ti, Yun Ran also began to inspect the twisted darkness, trying to figure out what it was exactly that had caused both her and Ginsengfruit to lose connection.
But the tentacles seed to detect Yun Ran’s actions, and as soon as Yun Ran looked over, they imdiately sprang out to scare her.
Both Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit, having previously experienced the binding of these tentacles, knew how creepy they were and quickly averted their gaze.
Dragon Spirit gave Yun Ran a look that clearly asked: [What should we do now?]
[Wait!]
After a good while, General suddenly waved his hand and Yun Ran and Dragon Spirit were pushed out by an invisible force.
[For the sake of this bottle of wine, I’ll let you go. Scram, both of you!]
As these words fell, the previous General and that dark void had vanished.
Yun Ran took advantage of the situation to step on Dragon Spirit, and with a backflip, landed steadily on the ground.
Dragon Spirit, completely unprepared, was first pushed out, then stepped on by Yun Ran, rolling several tis on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Yun Ran, I declare we are irreconcilable!!!"
Xie Xuzhi, upon witnessing this scene, imdiately overturned his previous conclusion that Yun Ran had a decent relationship with the Dragon Spirit.
Following that, he asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Yun Ran shook her head, then glanced at Ginsengfruit, who understood her intention without needing words.
Ginsengfruit shook his head in return, and Yun Ran instantly knew that even he was clueless about what the deal was with the General.
"Let’s get out of here quickly."
There were still a number of people lying on the ground. Yun Ran looked directly at the Dragon Spirit: "You knocked these people out, so you’re responsible for getting them out!"
Dragon Spirit: ...
He had never seen soone as shaless as Yun Ran in his entire life. She had him rush over from miles away to save the day, and yet she kept setting him up. If he paid her any attention next ti, he would be a dog!
The Dragon Spirit promptly moved all the unconscious people out.
Xie Xuzhi glanced at the nearby Stone Sculpture, his eyes clearly inquiring if it could be taken out as well.
Yun Ran shook her head. It was best not to provoke the General, whose mood was capricious and unpredictable.
As everyone was making their way out, the staircase leading to the underground tomb suddenly began to sink, turning the tomb swiftly into a deep pit.
The Dragon Spirit had vanished after bringing out the unconscious people.
After leaving the protective barrier, Yun Ran withdrew the power she had previously added to the trapped array. The barrier disappeared imdiately.
However, the trapped array set up by Duan Shouyuan and his team was still present. Unless it was soone from Xuan Sect, no one could step into this area.
Nevertheless, to be safe, as there were mbers of the archaeological team here—Doctor Yu’s team, who were quite decent people—Yun Ran planned to reinforce the Array on the periter to prevent anyone from approaching this area.
Just as she was about to set up the Array, a familiar voice ca from the side: "He won’t co out, you don’t need to go through this trouble."
Turning her head, she saw the person standing behind her, Xuan Chu, the person from Heavenly Dao Village who she had previously tricked.
Yun Ran frowned: "What are you doing here?"
"I’m naturally here to clean up your ss."
Xuan Chu didn’t look at Yun Ran’s current expression and stepped forward, placing his hand on the Jade Xuanwu whose leg had been previously severed by Yun Ran.
With a "bang", the solid rock turned into a pile of rubble under Xuan Chu’s palm.
As the dust settled, Yun Ran then saw that within the center of the rubble, there was a Jade Xuanwu the size of a palm.
It looked crystal clear and exceedingly beautiful.
"Are you sure you’re not here to make trouble?"
In response to Yun Ran’s question, Xuan Chu took out the Jade Xuanwu, its little leg noticeably cracked—a mark inflicted by Yun Ran’s Peach Wood Sword.
Xuan Chu took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom and stuck it on the Jade Xuanwu’s leg.
A flash of red light passed, and the crack on the leg of the Jade Xuanwu instantly vanished.
Xuan Chu carefully placed the Jade Xuanwu back at the center of the rubble.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The rubble, as if suddenly becoming sentient, started to reassemble itself.
Yun Ran thought her own thods were extraordinary, yet she did not expect the people from Heavenly Dao Village to be just as formidable.
However, Yun Ran was more concerned about what Xuan Chu had said earlier: "How do you know he won’t co out?"
Xuan Chu looked at Xie Xuzhi, then at Yun Ran, before saying, "Co with !"
