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

Chapter 1349 He's risking his life, he's trusting him so much!!!

When no outsiders are present, Long Ling actually prefers to maintain her original appearance.

The dragon soul, about the size of a raccoon dog, complained, but its body betrayed its words, circling around Yun Ran's feet, looking just like a pet cat.

Yun Ran held back for a while before she could suppress the urge to kick Long Ling away.

"You're a dragon spirit, not a pet. Stop following me around. And have you finished what I asked you to do? You're starting to mess things up now?"

Dragon Spirit: ...

He'll poison Yunran sooner or later until she's mute; that damn mouth of hers really can't utter a single good word!

"I'm just happy, you really have a temper..."

Long Ling pursed her lips, but ultimately didn't say the last few words, lest Yun Ran embarrass her.

With Yunran on her back, Long Ling rolled her eyes several more times, but the tone of her voice carried a hint of guilt.

"Okay, I'll go right now, wait for me!"

Long Ling wagged his tail and trotted away from Yun Ran. Before, they were too close, which caused the temperature to rise quickly, so now he ran further away.

In this way, Yunran was no longer dissatisfied.

Most of the surrounding void matter dissipated, and visibility naturally increased significantly, so even from a great distance, it didn't affect the field of vision.

Yun Ran's lips finally curled up slightly; she would soon be able to retaliate against those damned patterns.

He scoffed inwardly: "Little brat, you're still too green to mess with me!"
After the last wisp of haze dissipated, the fire spirits flew back to Yunran's side, their transformed features filled with expressions of excitement.

【Master, Master, we've burned all those annoying things away!】

[Master, I tried my best! Look, I've even lost weight!]

[Me too, me too, I'm working hard too.]

……

The fire spirits chattered away, as if they wanted Yunran to praise each and every one of them on the spot.

Yunran doted on her own 'children' and reached out to pat each of the fire spirits on the head.

"Good children, now you should go back to the Demon Locking Tower and cultivate properly. I'll find you some more fire-attribute rare and precious herbs to eat later."

Being praised and having rare and precious delicacies to eat—there's nothing happier than that.

The fire spirits, feeling quite pleased with themselves, lined up and returned to the Demon-Sealing Tower.

Long Ling also returned at this time, but he still remembered Yun Ran's rudeness towards him before.

At this moment, he tilted his head arrogantly, refusing to look at Yun Ran.

He was clearly waiting for Yun Ran to back down first; otherwise, as the mighty Dragon King, he would really lose face.

"Did you twist your neck?"

Long Ling had a good plan, but Yun Ran's words immediately broke his composure.

Now, he didn't care about competing with Yun Ran anymore and said directly, "I knew you wouldn't say anything nice. I'm just tired. Do you think I don't need strength to breathe fire?"

He wasn't clarifying things; he was fighting for the rights and respect he deserved!

Everyone has dignity and face, and for a dignified Dragon King like him, dignity is even more important!
Yun Ran was silent for a moment, then took out a palm-sized piece of animal hide from her body. It looked like she had found it in some garbage dump, and the color of the hide was indistinguishable.

"Alright, I admit I misspoke. This is a secret technique passed down from my ancestors at Qingfeng Temple. It's useful for creatures like you who are born and raised in nature, so I'm passing it on to you."

Long Ling's original intention was to gain some say in the matter, but upon hearing Yun Ran's words, her mind went blank for a moment. "Take it. If it weren't for the fact that you've been quite diligent, I wouldn't be giving this to you..."

Yunran kept emphasizing the importance of this secret technique and how she had taken a tremendous risk to pass it on to Longling.

But Long Ling couldn't hear a single word at this moment; she only saw Yun Ran's mouth opening and closing.

"...Let me tell you, this thing can only be passed down to you. If you dare to pass this secret technique on to others, causing me to bear karmic consequences I shouldn't have to bear, I'll skin you alive!"

Long Ling finally heard the last sentence clearly.

He knew better than anyone how afraid Yunran was of bearing the consequences that were not hers.

At this moment, the fact that he was willing to give him the secret techniques passed down from Qingfeng Temple made Long Ling's eyes immediately well up with tears.

What does this mean?
This can't be explained by a secret technique; it's clearly Yun Ran risking her life to trust him!
Waaah, heaven has eyes!

The awkwardness in Long Ling's heart vanished completely in an instant.

It's practically a miracle that someone as principled as Yunran could gain her trust.

Dragon Spirit's claws swiftly reached out, no longer caring that the animal hide looked dirty.

Where it's dirty, these are clearly the marks left by time, the etched marks of years!

"Don't worry, I swear, I will never let a third person know about this secret technique in my lifetime. From now on, I will be a dog of Qingfeng Temple!"

What Long Ling really wanted to say was that he was willing to be Yun Ran's dog.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he had just circled around Yunran once, and Yunran wanted to kick him.

Forget it, I'll just be Qingfeng Temple's dog. Yunran is the abbot, so I'm indirectly Yunran's dog too.

"Is there anything else I can do for you? If not, I'd like to go back and study this secret technique. Once I've mastered it, I'll crush those guys who dared to imprison me!"

Don't be fooled by Long Ling's easygoing manner in front of Yun Ran; in reality, he holds a deep grudge!
"Alright, this is none of your business. You can leave now!"

Long Ling left satisfied, and Yun Ran also retrieved the Demon Locking Tower.

When the demon core was brought out again for illumination, the entire space was as bright as if the brightest lights had been installed.

Yunran found a simple folding chair and sat down.

He took out another bottle of water, took a sip, and his anger subsided considerably.

"Now, bring it on if you have any other tricks up your sleeve. If not, then step forward and answer my questions!"

Yun Ran spoke into the empty space, her voice carrying a hint of certainty. She believed that the troublemaking patterns could understand her.

However, Yunran waited for a long time but received no response.

She wasn't in a hurry; instead, she leisurely took more things out of her bag and began setting things up.

She seemed determined to stay there and wait until the other party spoke.

Anyway, Yunran has plenty of patience.

When dealing with someone who has clearly developed a sliver of intelligence, you must overwhelm them with both presence and patience.

Before long, Yunran had set up a barbecue stall.

Shaking the Demon-Sealing Tower slightly, Yun Ran said with a hint of relief, "Come out and start a fire!"

Fire Spirit never imagined in his life that he would have the chance to roast meat.
