Chapter 1214 - 1210: Yun Ran the Gullible

The Little Princess Puppet, just after collecting the Demon Core, suddenly felt a bit deflated despite her usual energetic self.

It was as if some force was pressing down on her, giving her a feeling of suffocation.

"Mas... Master..."

Seeing the Little Princess Puppet wobble, Yun Ran quickly caught her and applied a talisman paper on her.

"The Moonlight Power is indeed formidable. Even the Little Paperman couldn’t escape, and I didn’t expect you to be discovered as well."

Puppetry Technique, straddling between the Mystical Sect’s Righteous Techniques and Forbidden Techniques, is often deemed a threat under specific circumstances, which is quite understandable.

Once the talisman paper was applied, that invisible pressure on the Little Princess Puppet lessened significantly.

However, it also somewhat affected her ability to move.

"Thank you, Master~"

Yun Ran could clearly sense a hint of grievance in the Little Princess Puppet’s tone.

As her master, Yun Ran naturally felt a bit of heartache.

"Don’t worry, Master will make it up to you later!"

The Little Princess Puppet immediately nodded happily, her eyes sparkling.

The array that absorbed the Moonlight Power had become much more powerful, with an aura emanating that made everyone even more cautious.

Yun Ran packed up her lounge chair, and once she assessed the situation, she decided there was no need to stay any longer.

She turned and headed straight for the seemingly small passageway.

But when Yun Ran approached, she realized that even her eyes had deceived her.

The passageway was actually twice the size of those tunnels on highways, although its visual effect made it seem smaller.

As Yun Ran walked, she murmured to herself, "What a skillful person indeed~"

When she finally walked to the bottom of the passage, she was briefly blinded.

Looking up, she saw a copper mirror hanging right at the top of the passage.

Yun Ran: ...

Does this count as getting something without any effort?

Before this, Yun Ran even thought that the last copper mirror must be hidden extremely well and would require significant effort to find.

Turns out, is this it?

Yun Ran sighed deeply, feeling utterly speechless, and finally decided to retrieve the copper mirror.

From the looks of it, the copper mirror seemed to be welded directly at the top of the passage.

The stone walls of the passage showed chisel marks, not smooth at all, which lowered the difficulty of climbing considerably.

As Yun Ran rubbed her fists, preparing to get the copper mirror.

The Little Princess Puppet seemed to hear something and turned to look back at the path they had taken.

This look almost made the Little Princess Puppet scream in shock.

"Master! Look!!!"

If it were anyone else screaming suddenly, Yun Ran would have shown them some attitude.

She might even secretly curse a bit: such an ignorant bumpkin, always making a big fuss over nothing!

But since it was the puppet she personally crafted and awakened with spiritual wisdom that spoke,

Her attitude was naturally different. If there had to be a reason, it would be that one always cares for their own.

Yun Ran turned to look back, and her body shuddered involuntarily.

Holy cow, her eyes!

This wasn’t the entrance to a passage but the giant mouth of an unknown creature!

Earlier, they had walked into a trap completely unguarded!

Now, Yun Ran saw rows of sharp teeth with an unknown liquid hanging from them.

Yet, a twinge of discomfort surged in Yun Ran’s heart because she knew that unknown liquid was the creature’s saliva.

Yun Ran then looked at the copper mirror, no, it should be the mirror embedded in the creature’s upper palate.

Now, it seemed she understood the purpose of this copper mirror.

The copper mirror itself was no different from the Demon-Revealing Mirror, which would show any life form’s true form in its presence.

However, no one would have thought that this Demon-Revealing Mirror, apart from revealing true forms, could also conceal true forms when used in reverse.

Yun Ran was the unlucky fool deceived by that copper mirror.

Having fallen into the creature’s mouth, escaping seemed a bit challenging now.

The Little Princess Puppet’s hearing was far superior to humans and could hear many things humans couldn’t.

Yun Ran felt the Little Princess Puppet nervously clutching her hem at this moment.

"Master, I hear the creature’s hunger..."

"Don’t worry, this creature doesn’t have what it takes to devour your master!"

With that, Yun Ran did not hold back, unsheathing a dagger from her body and forcefully stabbing it into the creature’s mouth wall.

Initially, she hadn’t planned on using such brute force to obtain the last copper mirror.

But she’s genuinely angry now!

Thinking that she, the temple master of Qingfeng Temple, got tricked into a monster’s mouth, how could she face other people if they found out!

The dagger plunged into the creature’s wall did not produce the sound of a blade slicing flesh but rather felt like it pierced into stone.

Clearly, the hardness of this creature’s mouth should not be underestimated!

The Little Princess Puppet wanted to help Yun Ran retrieve the copper mirror, but it had previously been attacked by the array, with the talisman paper sealing its aura.

At this moment, if the Little Princess Puppet were to act, the talisman paper on it would be wasted.

The Little Princess Puppet could only watch its master take action with longing.

Yun Ran was incredibly agile, and despite climbing on a vertical oral roof, she moved as if on flat ground.

When she finally approached the copper mirror, Yun Ran realized it was embedded into the creature’s mouth using a very brutal method.

In other words, the copper mirror had grown into the creature’s flesh.

To obtain the copper mirror, it would be necessary to cut the fused flesh open.

Yun Ran: ...

Whoever came up with this ridiculous idea must be a ’genius’!

Now, Yun Ran kind of wanted to take back all the praises she had once given to the first City Lord of Moonlight City.

This person wasn’t some extraordinarily capable master, he was a total trickster!

One that loved coming up with lousy ideas.

"Master, be careful~"

The Little Princess Puppet below was worried that its master was dangling above with just a dagger in hand, and its heart was in its throat.

Thinking about it, the Little Princess Puppet immediately positioned itself directly under Yun Ran, extending its arms.

This was to prevent Yun Ran from accidentally falling. From such a height, although she might not be injured, it would definitely hurt terribly.
