Chapter 53 âBullyâ Yun Ran (3 more - s)
Yun Ranâs grip on the Ghost Kingâs neck was unyielding. Ignoring the Ghost Kingâs confusion, she looked straight towards Shen Zhe and the others.
The Five Elements Formation had been broken, resulting in them sustaining some injuries.
"Are you all okay?"
"Weâre fine."
But aside from Shen Zhe, the rest had an expression that screamed âdizzy from being hit by a giant pancakeâ in their eyes.
Gao He fought back the urge to ask; theyâd been on missions for many years, but it was the first time it ended as soon as it started.
Especially now, seeing the big boss held up by Yun Ran like a mere chicken, he genuinely felt a sense of crisis about his life.
The most restless of all, Liu An, couldnât keep his mouth shut and briskly walked up to Yun Ran, giving her a thumbs-up: "Yun Ran, youâre really something!"
Wang Lin also walked over and landed a smack on Liu An: "Nowâs the time for serious business, not for your antics. Donât you see Ranran is busy?"
Liu An didnât feel the hit but was hurt by Wang Linâs shameless familiarity, casually calling her Ranran. He felt like he had been betrayed.
Wasnât it agreed that they would be brothers who would always look out for each other? And now, just to show heâs more reliable than himself, heâs stabbing his brother in the back?
But Wang Lin had already rushed out with his Magic Artifact and didnât give Liu An a chance to retort.
Even if Liu An was jumping mad, it didnât help. He could only let out a frustrated "â|ï½Oâ²|â Wow~~" and charged out too, not to be outdone!
Those henchmen that had revealed themselves turned out to be mutated insects. With the Ghost King captured, they were wildly frantic.
Yet, they seemed to be scared of Yun Ran, only wriggling their bodies incessantly at a distance, looking incredibly disgusting.
Of course, these creatures were theirs to take care of.
The insects had a bit of brains, but not much. Compared with seasoned veterans like Shen Zhe and the others, their fighting power was naturally much inferior.
As the number of insects dwindled, the Ghost King finally became desperate.
"Stop, stop it, isnât it enough if I return those people to you?!"
Several times, the Ghost King tried to burst out with ghost energy and devour everyone present, but before she could gather her strength, she would get hit by a smack from Yun Ran.
"Stay still and donât force me to deal with you right now!"
After all the insects were killed, Yu Liang spotted people wrapped in a sticky goo in a corner.
Experienced as he was, the sight still made Yu Liangâs stomach churn.
Suddenly a hand reached out towards him, startling Yu Liang into reflexively stepping back.
"Save... me..."
The voice was as faint as a mosquitoâs, and the handâs owner tried to grab onto Yu Liang.
Yu Liang turned and shouted towards Shen Zhe, "Boss, we found someone!"
He then stepped forward and pulled the man out of the goo.
When Yu Liang saw the manâs face, he was shocked: "Master Ling, itâs you!"
Shen Zhe and the others hurried over, drawn by Yu Liangâs call, and their gazes collectively shifted.
Ling Buqu showed a wry smile on his face: "Quick... save the others."
The majority of people had already fallen into a coma, and any further delay would surely mean they couldnât be saved.
Yun Ran was dragging the Ghost King over, watching as Shen Zhe and the others panted heavily while digging people out of the muck of slime.
She raised her hand and slapped the Ghost King again with a forceful smack.
"Why arenât you quickly cleaning up all this disgusting stuff!"
At that moment, the Ghost King was akin to a vulnerable and innocent victim, oppressed by Yun Ran, the âBullyâ.
Naturally, Yun Ran had a way to clean up the mess, but why bother doing it herself when she had someoneâor rather, the Ghost Kingâto order around?
She had been lazy since childhood, adept at making paper servants to help with chores; expecting her to do the work herself was wishful thinking.
The Ghost King was the ruler of this domain; everything here could change according to her will.
Compelled by Yun Ranâs âfemale mightâ, the Ghost King had no choice but to move all the people trapped in the slime out.
Afterward, the Ghost King looked at Yun Ran with a face eager to please, as if saying: Master, look, I did as you asked, you canât hit me anymore, okay?
She was the Ghost King, and the attacks from those Taoist monks were nothing to her.
Yun Ranâs slap was different from other attacks; it truly made her soul ache, and naturally, she feared it.
Master Ling Buquâs eyes, which had lost some of their luster, were fixed on Yun Ran and the Ghost King she was holding, showing a hint of surprise.
Shen Zhe suddenly stood in front of him, blocking his view: "Iâll get you out first!"
The place that had been impossible to leave before was now free of obstructions.
The ambulance arrived quickly, and after taking the people away, Shen Zhe saw that Yun Ran had a glass sphere in her hand.
"What is this?"
"This is the Ghost Kingâs domain. This thing is somewhat useful; itâs a pity to destroy it."
After speaking, she tossed the sphereâseemingly made of glassâto Shen Zhe: "Take it back; it will allow you to report back. Oh wow, itâs already afternoon, I should head back."
Throughout the process, Yun Ran did not mention where the Ghost King had gone, but Shen Zhe very tactfully did not ask.
Watching Yun Ran walk away, Wang Lin stepped forward, looked at the now unowned domain, and said with some concern: "Boss, this thing, I bet itâs a hot potato."
He had heard from his seniors that some Artifact Refining Masters could turn masterless domains into real Magic Treasures.
In theory, since it had fallen into their teamâs hands, it should belong to them, but such an item was too valuable and would definitely attract the competition.
"We canât keep this thing; better to hand it over in exchange for resources we can use."
Wang Lin fell silent, having witnessed Yun Ranâs methods; he truly understood what it meant to be a frog in a well.
On her way back, Yun Ran was fiddling with an even smaller bead; who would have thought that inside a bead the size of a marble, a Ghost King was sealed.
[Host, why are you still keeping this Ghost King? With your abilities, you could have eliminated her in one move.]
"This Ghost King has an owner; letâs keep it for now; it might be useful later."
What Yun Ran didnât mention was that during her time in the Ghost Realm, she hadnât sensed any murderous intent from the Ghost Kingâgrabbing those people must have had some other purpose.
And then there was that man named Ling Buqu; she felt a sense of disharmony from him and couldnât shake the feeling that his fall into the Ghost Realm was due to something else.
She needed to keep a backup plan to avoid getting entangled in some messy affairs later on.
Back at the Yun Family residence, Yun Ran drank a bowl of tonic and then went back to her room to lie down and sleep.
The Five Elements Formation had been broken, resulting in them sustaining some injuries.
