The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1174 Absolute Obedience to Yunran's Orders (2nd Update)
The water droplets slowly dripped down the giant rock.

Below the stone that is suspended in mid-air, there is a small puddle, and the sound of dripping water comes from there.

Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't occur here, nor does it possess the physical conditions necessary to generate such things.

But since this is a barrier within a barrier, many things cannot be viewed using common sense.

Yunran's intuition told her that the liquid that had gathered in that small puddle was very likely the source of the extremely cold and gloomy atmosphere in this barrier.

The stone floating in mid-air also gave Yunran a very dangerous feeling.

At least, Yun Ran, who has always been fearless, dared not let her guard down at all.

The fire spirit was increasingly affected, and the flames surrounding it grew smaller and smaller, on the verge of going out.

Yunran quickly put the fire spirit back into the Demon Locking Tower. No matter how much she wanted for herself, she wouldn't let the monsters following her risk their lives to pave the way for her goals.

But with the game already at its final stage, Yunran naturally couldn't just give up like that.

She wrapped her black robe tighter around herself and took another step forward.

However, in that one step, as they approached the enormous rock suspended in mid-air, the chilling sensation increased exponentially.

Yunran: ...

Good heavens, they're really going to torture anyone who breaks in here to death. Who can withstand this kind of treatment?
Wait... If flesh and blood can't withstand it, then what about something that isn't flesh and blood?

The fact that the paper figures and ginseng fruit weren't here made Yunran, who had just come up with a solution, suddenly feel like she had missed out on a fortune.

It's definitely too late to summon the paper doll now.

Fortunately, her storage bag still contained small puppets she had made from leftover scraps, which she used for practice.

She dreamed that one day she would be able to control a puppet that was of a higher level than the little paper doll.

She had only thought about it before, and hadn't actually done it yet. Firstly, she felt that she hadn't reached that level yet, and secondly, she had a lot of little paper figures around her to help her, which was enough for the time being.

The little paper dolls are scattered for various reasons, and she is now completely alone, and is also limited by the existing conditions.

This gave her a chance to use the puppet doll.

Yunran reached into her Qiankun bag and rummaged around for a while, quickly finding a cartoon princess doll with a big head and a small body.

When I originally crafted this little princess doll using the leftover materials, it was purely out of a playful impulse.

But now, seeing this doll and imagining it talking, running, jumping, and even being seen by other people makes me think.

A strange sense of shame suddenly crept into Yunran's heart.

But she only managed to create two fully-featured puppets that could be used at any time.

One is the wooden figure inhabited by the junior uncle, and this little princess doll is the other.

In other words, for now, the little princess doll is her only option.

After changing her expression several times, Yunran finally reached out to the little princess doll.

At this moment, getting down to business is the priority. At worst, she can get back at anyone who dares to laugh at her from the bottom of her heart by secretly making things difficult for them!
She cut her middle finger, and the blood that gushed out was smeared on the little princess doll's head. Yun Ran then closed her eyes and muttered something under her breath.

Time passed slowly, and Yun Ran's face grew paler and paler, especially her lips, which looked completely bloodless. At the same time, the little princess doll's previously lifeless eyes suddenly lit up and instantly became lively.

Especially when its eyes move, it looks just like a human.

After a short while, the little princess doll's limbs, which had been stiff, began to become flexible again.

If it weren't for its comical size suggesting that it is actually a doll, some people might mistake it for a tiny person.

Yun Ran opened her eyes, her head throbbing for a moment, and her body even swayed slightly when she stood up.

The little princess doll immediately helped Yunran up, her voice filled with anxiety: "Master, what's wrong?"

Yun Ran quickly regained her balance. She appeared to be unharmed, but in reality, only she knew that activating the little princess doll had taken a toll on her.

Back then, even when Junior Martial Aunt controlled the spirit puppets split from her own soul, she wasn't in such a sorry state. She was only controlling eighteen little paper figures, along with a little princess puppet, and yet she was already in such a sorry state.

Hey……

Master is right. Don't think that just because she's one of the leaders of the younger generation, she still has a lot to learn!

Taking a deep breath, Yun Ran looked at the little princess doll that she had spent a lot of effort to fully activate and control.

Go and fetch some water from that puddle!

As she spoke, Yunran tossed a porcelain bottle the size of her palm to the little princess doll.

However, the porcelain vase was not large, only for Yunran. For the little princess doll, which was not large at all, the porcelain vase was half its height.

But the little princess doll absolutely obeyed Yunran's orders, picked up the bottle, and rushed straight towards the huge rock.

Yun Ran herself took several steps back, and the intense chill that had been directed at her weakened considerably.

The little princess doll continued on its way, unaffected by anything.

Yun Ran's pale face, which had been expending a lot of energy to activate and control the little princess doll, finally showed a slight smile.

However, Yunran's smile did not last long.

Because the little princess doll that was about to approach the puddle slowed down noticeably.

It's obvious without even thinking that the little princess doll was affected by that chilling energy.

Without warning, the high-quality porcelain vase shattered with a crisp sound.

They haven't even touched the puddle yet.

Yunran's expression changed slightly, but she still didn't say anything to stop the little princess doll from continuing forward.

Instead, he took out a very old-looking booklet from his bag. The pages were yellowed and even had frayed edges.

If it weren't for the fact that Yunran is now holding this booklet so preciously in her palm, carefully flipping through it...

To other people, this booklet would probably be considered a piece of waste paper that no one would pick up and sell even if thrown into a trash heap.

Even though she didn't know the origin of the stone floating in mid-air, Yun Ran was basically certain.

Whether it's the previous barrier or the barrier within this barrier, the secret hidden within it is this stone!
