If even the Little Paperman can’t escape, then no one here can.
The Little Paperman darted inside in a flash.
As soon as it entered, high-pressure flas spewed out from the stone walls, reducing any carbon-based lifeform to ashes in an instant.
The Little Paperman felt its backside getting a bit hot, patted it twice, and continued flying forward.
After passing through the first secret passage, the Little Paperman touched its forehead, putting on a thoroughly exhausted expression.
Then it turned to look back at the flaming passage, the fire showing no signs of weakening.
It seed that once these chanisms were activated, they wouldn’t stop unless the energy was completely exhausted.
"Lucky it was who went in. If it were anyone else, tsk tsk tsk, we’d be wiped out~"
The people waiting outside did not experience the danger inside firsthand.
However, they could see a part of the situation through that small crack.
Especially since it suddenly brightened up inside, even standing outside, they could feel the temperature drastically rise.
The person who earlier wanted to be the first to rush in now looked at the scene before him, unable to help swallowing nervously.
Fortunately, he didn’t overratedly compete with the Little Paperman, or he would have made a fool of himself.
After all, being a young person is different from those seasoned veterans who remain indifferent to what doesn’t concern them.
The young man’s face imdiately showed a worried expression: "Do you think the Little Paperman is going to be okay? These flas look quite unusual,
and the temperature, I’m afraid, is beyond what ordinary fire can reach. We’re so far away and can still feel its terrifying heat..."
Those who weren’t initially worried suddenly felt their hearts tighten upon hearing this.
"This Little Paperman is Master Yun’s Magic Artifact, so it should be impervious to harm, right...?"
The person speaking sounded a bit uncertain.
"But there’s nothing we can do to help right now."
The Magic Artifacts and related tools they brought were not resistant to extre heat.
Just then, Dragon Spirit’s loud voice ca from not far away.
"I told you, I can never get lost. For a place as small as this, I can find my way blindfolded!"
Since the people of the Special Administration Bureau learned about the true form of Dragon Spirit, he did not intend to hide anymore.
He directly transford into his dragon form and led Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit over.
White Tiger looked at Dragon Spirit flying mid-air, with Yun Ran on Dragon Spirit’s back.
An inexplicable sense of balance instantly dispelled the growing frustration in its heart.
With anyone else or another species, this effect could not have been achieved.
Clearly, White Tiger placed Dragon Spirit on the sa level as itself.
If it alone was used as a mount by this ferocious woman Yun Ran, it would be an extre embarrassnt, against tradition.
But if a Dragon Spirit of the sa Level was also used as a mount, the embarrassnt wasn’t unique to it.
White Tiger, now relieved, finally had the leisure to look at the anxious people from the Special Administration Bureau slowly.
Indeed, once your mindset is stable, watching other people’s anxiousness becos amusing.
"Brother Long! You’re back!"
Upon hearing Dragon Spirit’s voice, many people’s eyes turned toward it.
Naturally, they saw the true form of Dragon Spirit, and as for him being used as a mount by Yun Ran, everyone tacitly pretended not to see.
Dragon Spirit landed and changed back into human form, clearing his throat lightly.
Then he nodded nobly: "Mm."
Ginsengfruit muttered softly: "This show-off deserves full marks."
Others, upon eting Yun Ran’s eyes, imdiately beca much more respectful and cautious: "Master Yun."
Previously, Yun Ran had good relations with the Special Administration Bureau, and later on, she soared even higher.
Any young person in the bureau with so ambition admired her from the heart.
Later, Yun Ran accomplished nurous significant feats, often requiring the bureau to seek her help.
Yun Ran, though visibly younger than them, fully upheld her status as Master Yun.
So now, anyone with insight wanting to be on good terms with Yun Ran addresses her respectfully as Master Yun.
This is also why, seeing their respected Brother Long being used as a mount by Yun Ran, no one reacted excessively.
Had it been anyone else, forget about using Brother Long as a mount, even a word against Brother Long would have t with severe consequences.
Yun Ran smiled and nodded, acknowledging them.
Her deanor was much kinder than Dragon Spirit’s had been before.
The people from the Special Administration Bureau dared not take advantage of Yun Ran’s kindness, remaining sowhat formal.
"Have you found the main control of this Underground Palace?"
When it ca to business, those who were earlier a bit restrained instantly beca professional.
In a few words, they explained the situation here, also ntioning the Little Paperman exploring the way ahead.
As they spoke, a hint of guilt appeared on their faces.
The Little Paperman was Yun Ran’s Magic Artifact.
Exploring the path was supposed to be their job, but it was handed over to the Little Paperman.
They’d already felt a bit bad before, and now, facing the rightful owner, they were even more embarrassed.
Upon hearing the secret passage was so perilous, Yun Ran kept her cool, but Dragon Spirit furrowed his brow.
"I’ll go check it out!"
The people from the Special Administration Bureau were focused on the matter at hand, and after a brief exchange with Yun Ran, they followed Dragon Spirit to investigate the situation.
Once the crowd dispersed, Yun Ran finally noticed Xie Xuzhi standing not far away.
Previously trapped in the Demon-locking Tower, although the passage of ti hadn’t been noticeable,
Yun Ran did not feel much ti had passed. Yet now, looking at Xie Xuzhi, he appeared visibly more haggard, having lost a lot of weight.
"I’m just glad you’re okay."
This sudden comnt from Xie Xuzhi left Yun Ran a bit baffled; it didn’t sound like sothing Xie Xuzhi would usually say.
In a flash of realization, Yun Ran understood that Junior Master had established a bond for them.
"Did you sense I was in trouble before?"
Xie Xuzhi nodded, recounting what he sensed, including the collar on White Tiger’s neck falling off effortlessly.
Upon hearing the collar was removed, Yun Ran’s eyes lit up.
"Where’s the collar?"
"It’s with the Little Paperman. The Little Papern you raise, they’re all so devoted to the Gu Family."
