Chapter 609 - 608: I Know All These Tricks
The young master’s schemes have always been about striking at the heart, making people willingly fall into his traps.
But with Yun Ran’s unlucky disposition, most people simply can’t withstand being messed with like that.
However, Xuan Chu is different; not only is he powerful, but he also owes Yun Ran a great debt.
Thus, their relationship is no longer just a mere transaction.
If Yun Ran truly encountered an unavoidable danger, Xuan Chu would definitely risk his life to protect Yun Ran.
The desert sun was truly scorching, the land baked by the sun, causing the air to warp and distort.
After checking the surroundings and finding nothing amiss, Xuan Chu was ready to return to the car and wait.
Just then, a gust of hot wind blew over, and Xuan Chu’s expression changed slightly.
Anyone else would think that in such a frustrating and sun-scorched situation, this wind could somewhat relieve the heat-induced irritation.
But after witnessing Yun Ran’s unlucky streak, this scene now seemed like there was something supernatural going on.
Xuan Chu quickened his pace, soon reaching the car with a somewhat grave expression.
Thinking back to when he first left the mountain, calm and composed, he felt that among the younger generation of the Xuan Sect, no one could compare to him.
He even firmly believed that the Heavenly Dao was just and would not deliberately target anyone. Now, he feels like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Yun Ran took out a can of coke from the fridge and handed it to Xuan Chu, kindly advising, "I suggest you close the car door; it’s about to rain heavily."
Xuan Chu took the coke and asked in confusion, "How do you know?"
Now, Yun Ran was no different from an ordinary person, and logically shouldn’t be able to predict what was going to happen next.
"I’m familiar with these patterns: first, the RV gets a flat tire, then it gets stuck in a pit, and finally, a heavy rain comes for a sauna. Voilà!"
Xuan Chu...
This must have been quite the ’beating’ for her to casually predict the Heavenly Dao’s punishment like this.
"Don’t look at me with those pitying eyes. I’m not pitiful; this is something anyone with a brain can figure out."
With one sentence, she shoved back the tiny bit of concern Xuan Chu had painstakingly shown.
"So what do we do now?"
"What can we do? We wait. Now that I’m an ordinary person, the Heavenly Dao’s punishment for me is limited. The harm won’t be too great; it’s just purely irritating."
Xuan Chu thought about it and agreed; the previous troubles really weren’t much to people like them, just a bit vexing.
Just after Yun Ran finished speaking, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof could be heard, while outside, the sun was still shining, not affecting the pouring rain.
The Heavenly Dao may be annoying, but it can’t do whatever it wants; all ’punishments’ are proportional.
For instance, now that she is as fragile as glass, the corresponding punishment compared to her former self is child’s play.
Otherwise, with a single Heavenly Thunder strike, she’d be dead immediately.
The ground, baked by the sun, when hit by this heavy rain, emitted the first wave of steam.
Anyone with a slightly weaker constitution would definitely fall ill in such an environment.
"Pop"
It was the sound of the coke being opened.
Xuan Chu took a sip of the soda, looking at the heavy rain outside, while thinking of the phrase ’your greatest opponent knows you best’.
Watching Yun Ran leaning by the bed, drinking instant coffee prepared by the Little Paperman, with a look of appreciation for the desert sun in the rain.
She took a sip of the coffee and put it down disdainfully; instant coffee was just average.
Xuan Chu: ...
Yun Ran’s mindset is truly impressive, while he’s here in a panic, it feels like an Emperor not worried but his eunuchs are.
After putting down the cup, Yun Ran looked up and saw Xuan Chu’s expression, laughing, "What’s that look? You seem like you’re up to no good."
"I thought you’d be really angry, maybe even..."
"Even take it out on you? I’m not that petty. You’re from Heavenly Dao Village, following its rules is your duty.
Besides, you didn’t know that the Heavenly Dao was severely injured, its essence stolen. Even now if there are issues with its operation, it hasn’t completely collapsed."
If Yun Ran had cursed and ranted like before, Xuan Chu might have felt better.
But now, Yun Ran being so ’understanding’ gave rise to an inexplicable sense of guilt in him.
As if all of Yun Ran’s suffering was somehow related to him.
Compared to their initial meeting, Xuan Chu now seemed much more alive, at least showing some emotions and preferences.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that a guy from Heavenly Dao Village would be so emotional.
I remember you once swearing that people from Heavenly Dao Village don’t take sides, don’t judge right or wrong."
Having his flaws pointed out in person, Xuan Chu gave a speechless glance at Yun Ran.
Fortunately, the sound of the rain pounding on the RV roof shattered the awkward atmosphere in the cramped space.
Still, he had to argue a couple of points; the principles of Heavenly Dao Village were not wrong.
There’s just been some deviations, not an essential problem.
"The will of Heavenly Dao Village is to maintain the proper operation of the Heavenly Dao. As long as it doesn’t interfere with the Heavenly Dao’s operation, Heavenly Dao Village won’t concern itself with anything.
Just like how a human wouldn’t care why two ants are fighting in a corner, nor would it care which ant is good or evil.
Unless the ant affects the human’s normal life, they won’t be discovered and eliminated by humans.
Otherwise, throughout their lives, the existence and demise of these two ants would never be known by humans..."
This left Yun Ran speechless; the analogy was good, but no need to use it next time.
The rain didn’t seem like it would stop any time soon, and the Special Administration Bureau’s people didn’t know when they’d arrive.
The tires could be changed, but knowing how unlucky they were now, it was best not to tempt fate and provoke the Heavenly Dao, lest their bad luck be compounded.
"Alright, you go do your thing; I need to rest for a while!"
With that, Yun Ran closed the curtain and lay back on her mattress.
Days accompanied by the sound of rain weren’t to be wasted.
Hearing the sound of a game from behind the curtain, Xuan Chu’s mouth twitched.
Yun Ran’s easygoing nature was now fully established.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, steam had already spread, obscuring the view into the distance, only revealing the nearby scene.
The pits dug by the Little Paperman and others earlier were now gradually filling with small puddles.
Thinking about how their car was half stuck in previously, if not for the Little Paperman, they couldn’t have gotten out unscathed.
Being caught in such a rainstorm again, tsk tsk tsk, no need to imagine how frustrating that would be.
But with Yun Ran’s unlucky disposition, most people simply can’t withstand being messed with like that.
