But Dragon Spirit played seriously, with such ruthless moves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for her quick reaction, she’d have half her head chopped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Mo Zhi seriously suspected that Dragon Spirit was taking personal revenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people were still expressing their gratitude, and Mo Zhi truly didn’t understand why they had so much to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just gratitude, right? They’ve been saying it for so long without even repeating themselves once; these people really are something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit was also a bit annoyed by their words. Saying thanks too much doesn’t make people happy; it makes them seem insincere instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, he couldn’t just follow his usual temper and stand up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Dragon Spirit also wasn’t one to wrong himself, and besides, his current persona wasn’t exactly someone with a good temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately raised his hand, signaling them to be quiet: \"Alright, enough with the thank-yous. We’ve drunk the wine, and I’ve accepted your gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s nothing else, let’s end it here; I still have to hit the road!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were a bit flustered upon hearing this.

That would be a huge loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Long, we owe you our lives, and we should respect your decision, but I have a small request, hoping you might help us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader said this and immediately took the lead, kneeling on one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others followed suit, leaving their places to kneel before Dragon Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman was lying on the rooftop, watching this scene with great interest, thinking how Dragon Spirit really did look the part when putting on airs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, they couldn’t tell that Dragon Spirit wanted to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Dragon Spirit was forcing these people to reveal their intentions early, to save time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit remained seated, not moving an inch, accepting their kneeling with composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on the surface, Dragon Spirit furrowed his brow slightly, his tone turning somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing? If you have something to say, get up and talk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader, usually someone who always stood with a straight back and looked down on others, was now kneeling and pleading with such humility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear they were indeed facing a very tricky situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Long, we shouldn’t burden you any further, but this concerns many lives...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader paused at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before kneeling, others besides the eldest ones had tactfully left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even closed the door, remaining by the entrance, clearly afraid others might eavesdrop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They thought this would ensure complete security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did they know, the Little Paperman was less than a meter away from them, completely unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a skilled Dark Master eavesdropping, it would be a perfect scenario for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that things had gotten to this point, Dragon Spirit could only sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get up and speak, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit still wasn’t certain what had transpired here that made these Dark Masters ’trust’ someone they met for the first time without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit had originally planned to spend some time infiltrating their circles, but didn’t expect it to be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether this was genuine or a trap, Dragon Spirit didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was simply to use these local Xuanmen people to obtain information about the Heavenly Book’s whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader stood up and returned to his original seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to the wine, he was less cautious in his speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every year, the General Association assigns us local Xuan Sect forces certain task quotas, and every year we must capture a certain number of evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, we have to submit half of our earnings to the General Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rule has persisted for years, and now the upper echelons demand more and more. Those evil spirits are nearly extinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some places, Dark Masters have begun creating evil spirits themselves to meet these quotas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn’t believe it, but our small town, which was relatively stable, has now been affected by this trend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though we’re sometimes greedy, we’ve always protected the area. To force us to use innocent lives to create evil spirits...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader’s voice choked with emotion as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are complex and multifaceted; they are not really good people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their families have lived here for generations, making it hard for them to turn on their neighbors and loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they planned to risk venturing into Demon Mountain, rumored to have powerful evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could capture those evil spirits, they’d be able to survive another year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before departing, they encountered such a formidable Evil Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting off with a bad start was never a good omen, so they turned to Dragon Spirit, wanting him to accompany them to Demon Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do I look like some big resentment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he couldn’t say this directly, or else his prior performance would be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are the General Association people doing with so many evil spirits and ghosts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit asked casually, lest he seemed uninterested in their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, he obtained incredible information from their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sacrifice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, just hearing the word \"sacrifice\" sent a stimulated sensation through Dragon Spirit’s bloodstream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What sacrifice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit’s directness caught the middle-aged man off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Long, you don’t even know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things were no secret; any adept Dark Master was aware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Spirit remained calm, saying casually, \"My sect has been in seclusion, and this is my first time coming out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-06T11:49:09.270Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4a1dec0d3fae88e3bce406583d6359f7b0b494ed66413911e8bd44a169c92f4","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-959","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-957",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
