Xuan Chu’s face was full of disbelief at this moment. His driving skills, though not world-class, shouldn’t make such a rookie mistake, should they?
Opening the car door, Xuan Chu jumped out to check the situation.
Soon, Xuan Chu witnessed a scene that made his jaw drop—an upside-down wild boar lying at the front of his car, grunting softly.
Xuan Chu was instantly amused, a car crash wasn’t a big deal.
But in this vast desert terrain, crashing into a wild boar was blatantly mocking his eyesight, wasn’t it?
Yun Ran leaned leisurely against the window, chuckling as she said, "Wow, that’s a big wild boar, not bad."
Xuan Chu’s face turned even darker; he couldn’t care less if Yun Ran was a walking disaster.
He just wanted to know how this wild boar had managed to evade his sight!
Unfortunately, no matter how Xuan Chu looked at it, this wild boar was just an ordinary wild boar without any spiritual wisdom.
So, it must have been a coincidence.
Having never witnessed just how unlucky Yun Ran could be, Xuan Chu could only comfort himself to be more cautious next time.
After taking the first aid kit from the car and bandaging the wild boar’s injuries, they set off again.
By now, the sun was directly overhead, and the temperature outside had heated up, even giving a roasting sensation.
Yun Ran casually eating a piece of fruit remarked, "I can’t use Xuan Sect methods right now, so the bad luck will keep coming. You might want to get used to it~"
Xuan Chu: ...
Originally, he didn’t take Yun Ran’s bad luck seriously, but now, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
It’s said that the sixth sense of Xuanmen people is very accurate, and sure enough, just as Xuan Chu was thinking this, the car they were driving suddenly seemed to lose control.
Xuan Chu controlled the car, slowly braking.
"The tire blew out!"
Yun Ran had money, and even the rented car was the most expensive type, with excellent performance and quality.
But now, they had a blowout just like that!
Now Xuan Chu didn’t doubt the power of Yun Ran’s bad luck at all.
Xuan Chu turned his head, eyed Yun Ran like a rare creature, and affirmed, "It’s truly a miracle you’ve managed to stay safe before."
Looking at the map, he realized they were still in the desert area.
Xuan Chu was genuinely troubled now.
The men he had previously brought to the desert were all left with his master.
Now he alone bore Yun Ran’s unfortunate Qi Fortune, and he probably couldn’t hold on.
"Why not call for rescue? Even though this place seems desolate, the Special Administration Bureau also has people stationed here. Given our identities, they’ll make an exception and help us."
Being from Heavenly Dao Village, asking the Special Administration Bureau for help was inherently absurd.
"Aren’t you the temple master of Qingfeng Temple? Aren’t you afraid of losing face by asking the Special Administration Bureau for help?"
Yun Ran showed an innocent expression: "I don’t think so. I’m not someone who cares about fame or reputation, why should I care about others’ opinions?"
Xuan Chu weighed the power of Yun Ran’s bad luck and the fact that Yun Ran was currently fragile.
He decisively contacted the Special Administration Bureau personnel stationed nearby.
He himself didn’t mind, but it was crucial that Yun Ran remain safe and sound.
Just as Xuan Chu was about to draw a few Luck Talismans while waiting,
"Bang, bang, bang..."
After a loud noise, dust rose, and the two sitting in the car with air conditioning felt a bump.
The flying dust obscured their vision, and it was impossible to tell what had happened.
Little Paperman squeezed through a crack in the car door, and soon returned covered in dirt.
"Master, the spot where the car was parked was right above a rat’s nest. The area around here has been hollowed out by them; the RV was too heavy, so the ground couldn’t support it and caved in..."
Just as Little Paperman’s words ended, sharp scratching and banging sounded from the RV’s door as rats collided and clawed at it.
The outside dust, through small gaps, also entered the RV quite a lot.
Yun Ran frowned, then picked up an ordinary-looking feather fan beside the bed, gently fanning it, instantly driving the dust back out the way it came.
The outside dust, as if encountering a nemesis, dispersed immediately.
Finally, Yun Ran and the others could see the current situation clearly.
The RV was half-submerged in a hole, and to make matters worse, it was unbalanced, the whole vehicle tilted, and the door blocked tightly.
Coincidence was no longer sufficient to explain the current situation; in such a vast desert, they happened to stop right at this very spot?
Yun Ran’s Life Chart, deeply despised by the Heavenly Dao, had its bad luck manifest in all its glory.
Without the veil of dust, the rats digging at the car locked eyes with Xuan Chu.
The rats, probably having never seen a human, were so frightened by the ’gigantic beast’ inside the car that they fled in a swarm.
Just after being blown down by Yun Ran’s feather fan, the dust rose up again quite a bit.
Xuan Chu was now at a loss for words, silently giving Yun Ran a thumbs up.
"I’m genuinely impressed; if anyone wants to compete with you on who is more unlucky and you take second, no one would dare claim first."
When people are at a loss, they really do laugh.
Yun Ran didn’t respond to Xuan Chu’s teasing, looking up at the RV’s roof, her eyes rolling to the sky above.
"Serves you right to be severely wounded, serves you right to have your source stolen, you truly deserve it!"
After getting satisfaction from her words, Yun Ran then looked at Little Paperman, "Get the car out. Do I not care about face if someone sees this mess?"
Little Paperman effortlessly lifted the RV out of the pit.
Then conveniently collapsed all the surrounding areas that had been hollowed out.
Ask, why? Because that previous pit, obviously the size of an RV, anyone with eyes could tell in a glance.
But if other areas collapsed too, no one would know their RV had been trapped before.
"Master, we’ve checked the surrounding area, and there won’t be any more similar troubles."
Xuan Chu still wasn’t entirely convinced, so he went around to check himself, indeed finding no coincidental troubles.
However, thinking of those previously unlikely troubles, Xuan Chu was still cautious.
As he turned back, the RV’s battered appearance was plain to his eyes.
The once pristine RV now had a big dent in the front, a blown tire, and was entirely dirty.
Xuan Chu sighed slightly. Now, he seemed to understand why Master Uncle Yan had made staying with Yun Ran for three years one of the conditions. The elderly really do have the wisdom of experience.
