Under the threat of Little Master Uncle’s gaze and the intimidation of his intense killing intent, the young monster finally became obedient, not daring to entertain even a single extra thought.
It gently approached Yun Ran’s arm, its movements so gentle as if it feared that a slight motion might injure this human who resembled a porcelain doll.
The Little Paperman, being a magic artifact itself, was naturally somewhat afraid of the young monster capable of devouring magic artifacts.
The resentment entwined around Yun Ran’s arm was also one of the young monster’s foods.
Feeling the young monster’s approach, the originally blooming flower immediately retracted.
No matter how the resentment tried to escape, it was already at the monster’s lips; how could the young monster let it go?
A transparent tendril extended from its head, forcibly pulling out the vine incarnate of resentment.
Once the vine left Yun Ran’s body, it immediately transformed into a mist of colorful hues, ultimately being enveloped by the young monster’s body, which had bloated several times in size.
Little Master Uncle glanced over, only to see a small red dot on Yun Ran’s arm.
The wooden head turned to look at the young monster, which immediately raised its claws in a gesture of surrender.
It had truly done its best, pulling out everything it could. The little bit left was unextractable, without any hidden malice.
Then, cautiously glancing at Little Master Uncle beside it, its demeanor timid, filled with questioning.
It seemed to be saying: I’ve done it, can you spare my little life and let me go?
Little Master Uncle reached out and snapped one of the chains, a strong wind gusting past.
The paper that had previously sealed the young monster flew up and resealed it.
But in the last second before sealing, the young monster let out an unwilling, questioning roar, as if questioning Little Master Uncle why it had to be sealed again!
Little Master Uncle huffed coldly: "Just sealing you, you should be quietly rejoicing!"
After reinforcing the sealing booklet, Little Master Uncle placed it back into Yun Ran’s pocket.
Now, more than half of the resentment had been removed, but Yun Ran’s complexion hadn’t improved much, still pale and fragile.
If normally, regardless of how severe Yun Ran’s injuries were, as long as he took action, Yun Ran would definitely be lively by now.
Little Master Uncle tucked Yun Ran in: "The backlash of peeping into the heavenly secret is indeed difficult to resolve."
Although feeling sorry for Yun Ran, he couldn’t help but knock on Yun Ran’s head when thinking about the trouble Yun Ran caused this time.
"Once you’re better, watch how I deal with you!"
Outside the RV, Xuan Chu’s expression changed constantly.
He knew with the Little Paperman around, Yun Ran must be safe.
But earlier, he distinctly sensed a power that shouldn’t exist enveloping Yun Ran’s RV.
If he hadn’t been unable to open the door, he would have rushed in to see what was happening.
Just as he was about to lose hope, the RV door finally opened.
Little Master Uncle leapt effortlessly onto Xuan Chu’s shoulder.
The little wooden figure stood firm, exuding the demeanor of a master.
"Young man, let’s talk!"
Little Master Uncle was also curious to know what these two kids were thinking, daring to undertake such a huge task when they were still greenhorns.
Even he wouldn’t dare lightly to peek into the heavenly secret, challenging the Heavenly Dao.
Fortunately, these two little rascals had some skills; although seriously injured, they at least survived.
Hearing this, Xuan Chu’s hair stood on end, feeling like he’d been pointed out by King Yan.
Thinking back to his reckless courage with Yun Ran, now faced with the reprimand of their elder, he’d rather be skinned than utter a word of protest.
"Pre... predecessor, I... I’m sorry, it’s all my fault..."
"I am Yun Ran’s Little Master Uncle, Yan Huaiyi."
Xuan Chu immediately echoed, "Uncle Yan."
Even if Little Master Uncle didn’t make sense, he couldn’t entirely blame Xuan Chu.
That little rascal at home was the kind who would climb the roof and expose tiles if not disciplined in three days, combined with a fearless fellow; absolutely wild!
"Why don’t you tell me what you discovered first!"
If it were any other Taoist elder here today, even the current head of the Special Administration Bureau, Xuan Chu might not have disclosed what he discovered.
But if it were Yun Ran’s elder, Xuan Chu couldn’t wait to spill everything.
"I saw an outer heaven object intruding, the Heavenly Dao was severely injured, and then, someone stole the Heavenly Dao Origin, causing a deviation in the operational rules of the Heavenly Dao.
To save itself, our world was downgraded to a world within a book, as Yun Ran puts it..."
Little Master Uncle was surprised but seemingly not entirely.
The fact that this world had a Twin Formation already indicated that this would not be an ordinary world.
He just didn’t expect that after this small world’s Heavenly Dao was severely injured, someone would steal the Heavenly Dao Origin.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao of this small world seemed erratic at times; it turned out to be incomplete.
After finishing his explanation, Xuan Chu, unable to see Little Master Uncle’s expression as he stood on his shoulder, felt uneasy.
"Uncle Yan..."
Little Master Uncle only had a bit of patience when facing Yun Ran; naturally, others wouldn’t receive such a treatment.
He immediately interrupted Xuan Chu’s next words, "I know."
Then he jumped down from Xuan Chu’s shoulder while snapping his fingers, releasing the previously shielded space.
As Little Master Uncle landed, he looked into the distance, "Get out here!"
Xuan Chu also glanced over, sensing the escaping aura of the Dragon Spirit, and felt somewhat speechless.
The Dragon Spirit thought it had escaped quickly enough, but earlier, it was just a bit curious about what Little Master Uncle and that guy from Heavenly Dao Village were whispering about.
It truly didn’t mean to eavesdrop; moreover, Little Master Uncle shielded the space, so it heard nothing.
Seeing Little Master Uncle jumping down from Xuan Chu’s shoulder, the Dragon Spirit unconsciously fled.
Now caught red-handed, the Dragon Spirit was puzzled; it hadn’t heard anything, so why did it flee?
Just as Little Master Uncle’s words fell, the Dragon Spirit’s virtual image shrank into a small size, its dragon head showing a goofy, ingratiating smile.
"Hehe... Little Master Uncle, we meet again~"
The phantom dragon claws involuntarily rubbed together.
Little Master Uncle didn’t know what to say at this moment and was more inclined to knock Yun Ran’s head to see what kind of people she associated with daily!
A dumb-looking, naive little loach and someone who dared to peek into the heavenly secret at the slightest disagreement, as for the others, let’s drop it!
Truly, where there is a Crouching Tiger, there must be a Hidden Dragon!
