With the support of evil energy, she didn’t even feel how much pain her body was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, being knocked flying by Yun Ran’s stick was something completely unacceptable to Zhang Weilin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her hands, then at Yun Ran, and finally, a chapped expression appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yun Ran could subdue her so easily, then her previous efforts to nurture little ghosts and pursue the ultimate power were all a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Weilin got up, and the wooden stick in Yun Ran’s hand twirled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly telling Zhang Weilin, \"If you have the guts, come over, and see if I won’t cripple you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, someone possessed by evil energy like this would retain only limited consciousness. Their actions and behavior were mostly driven by malicious thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as Yun Ran was poised and waiting, Zhang Weilin actually suppressed the evil thoughts in her heart and stopped in her tracks,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that in the face of absolute power, even someone on the verge of losing their mind could become rational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran chuckled lightly, clearly very pleased with Zhang Weilin’s sensible behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhang Weilin, blinded by her evil energy-induced power, sought death, Yun Ran would have to break her bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran’s laughter was, for Zhang Weilin at this moment, a silent mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she wanted to charge ahead recklessly, ideally tearing Yun Ran apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even thought of her escape plan, imagining that when she was rescued, people would find Yun Ran dead by her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could completely claim that she was harmed by an evil cultivator and acted unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like those people nowadays who, though they indulge in their evil deeds, insist they lost their morals due to drunkenness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly lost their sanity, why don’t we ever see them go directly to the police, their superiors, or important dignitaries in a drunken rage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any post-event explanations are merely pretexts for cleaning up the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran raised her wooden stick, and Zhang Weilin inexplicably felt some pain in her leg, taking a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Yun Ran feel extremely uninterested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, she didn’t lower her wooden stick, even though she couldn’t decipher the origins of the curse on Zhang Weilin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her intuition told her it was nothing good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she had Qingfeng Temple’s prohibition on her, truly evil things couldn’t invade her body and divine soul,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still felt a strange sense of eeriness and thought it best not to get too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intuition of Xuan Sect people can generally be used as a basis for judgment, and the higher one’s cultivation, the more accurate their intuition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran thought for a moment, stepped forward a few steps, and without doing anything, scared Zhang Weilin into retreating several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of her hasty retreat, she ended up falling backward, landing on her rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she couldn’t leverage Xuan Sect’s powers now, she still exuded such an intimidating aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran snorted with laughter, then raised her hand to use the crystal fragment tied to the end of her wooden stick to move across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like cutting through tofu, she easily carved out a 38th parallel on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t cross this line, or I’ll make sure you don’t have a moment of peace left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Weilin wouldn’t last much longer. Although Yun Ran disliked her and they had grudges, Zhang Weilin was in such a miserable state that Yun Ran saw no need to go out of her way to harm her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing Zhang Weilin to perish on her own in these last moments was already Yun Ran’s last shred of mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yun Ran carved the line, no jarring noises were made when the crystal fragment met the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Weilin’s gaze landed on the crystal fragment tied to Yun Ran’s stick. It was shiny, appearing quite sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, it was indeed that sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused Zhang Weilin’s mind, overwhelmed by evil thoughts, to regain some clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also seemed to remember that it was a small piece of the same fragment that cut through the ropes binding her before, leading to her escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s clearly impossible for her to just let Yun Ran go; she was merely apprehensive about Yun Ran and refraining from attacking for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some contemplation, Zhang Weilin glanced upwards and easily spotted the source of illumination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small fragments in Yun Ran’s hand and those scattered on the ground clearly came from that illuminating object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Weilin’s eyes, their whites completely dyed the pure black of evil energy, shifted slightly, though it was hard to tell they moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Yun Ran was tired and drifted off, Zhang Weilin would leap to snatch a larger piece of the crystal fragment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran had no idea what Zhang Weilin was thinking and wasn’t interested in knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force she used to repel Zhang Weilin just now looked effortless, but it required spending energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gone hungry for a night, Yun Ran felt even hungrier now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she thought this, her stomach chimed in, growling incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting all night, Xuan Chu still hadn’t found her. Yun Ran no longer expected anyone to find her from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions in this place were truly harsh—with nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she wasn’t afraid of hardship, enduring too much is unnecessary, and it was crucial to leave this ghostly place soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran wielded the wooden stick with the crystal fragment tied to it, poking it here and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without knowing it, she poked something she shouldn’t have, and instantly Yun Ran felt the temperature drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, her hands and feet started to feel cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, the temperature had dropped by at least ten to twenty degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran rubbed her arms, resting her unsocked foot on the instep of her other foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked somewhat like she was trying to stand gracefully on one leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her originally brightly colored homewear now appeared somewhat dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of crummy place is this, with such dense yin energy it’s practically like a natural freezer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Yun Ran wondered if Rong Gu was doing this on purpose; if she couldn’t kill her, she intended to freeze her to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Yun Ran felt uncomfortable, on the other side of the 38th parallel, Zhang Weilin seemed to absorb the evil energy frantically, as if she had received a great boon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wounds on her body began to undergo unusual changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delicately-maintained white and smooth skin she had spent so much on was now being slowly covered by layers of what looked like scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a pity there was no mirror here; otherwise, Yun Ran would have wanted Zhang Weilin to see her ghostly and unrecognizable form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her opponent grow visibly stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran didn’t panic; instead, she found the Jade where Mo Zhi resided at her hem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and get to work; absorb all this yin energy for me; I’m freezing to death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being cold, hungry, and sleepy—whoever wants to endure this can!\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-06-06T11:49:05.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","e97ed280afe5edf80743b717ae5f3143d572bb7f32e122655f35409f133d8451","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-686","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-684",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
