Chapter 276: Chapter 275: Who Are You Looking Down On?!
Almost instantly, she understood why Gu Yuan had said that, obviously fearing that she might feel psychologically burdened.
"Don’t kill it, keep it, and later send it to my Ran Mansion."
Gu Yuan had no objections, transporting goods was a big trouble for others, but for them, it was nothing.
"Okay."
Soon, Gu Yuan had everything arranged. Yun Ran didn’t even bother to disguise herself; she simply put on a mask and left the hospital.
With her silver-white hair, she didn’t quite resemble the target those people lurking nearby were looking for.
She had not gone far from the hospital when Yun Ran suddenly looked up at the sky.
The merit she had accumulated had been dissipated, her Life Chart despised by the Heavenly Dao had reappeared, and she was targeted by the Heavenly Dao again.
Perhaps due to too many past failures in striking her, the Heavenly Dao had learned to weigh its options and did not strike her down with Heavenly Thunder immediately.
Yun Ran quickly quickened her pace; there were quite a few Special Administration Bureau agents around, and it would be troublesome if the Heavenly Thunder descended.
She swiftly calculated with her fingers, and right after getting the results, Yun Ran turned around and sprinted in another direction.
A few bystanders, shocked by the sight, their eyes bulging out, commented: "Indeed the elderly nowadays are so vigorous; her hair is so white yet she runs so quickly!"
"Now running so fast, when she takes the bus later, the young people will need to give up their seats."
"I feel like the muscles I worked out in the gym are a joke."
...
Yun Ran didn’t know that her silver-white hair had successfully misled many people.
Soon, Yun Ran arrived at a deserted place with hardly any people around, and at that moment, a cluster of dark clouds appeared directly above her.
Yun Ran moved left, the dark clouds moved left; Yun Ran moved right, the dark clouds moved right.
If it were in the past, Heavenly Thunder would have struck down by now, but now, except for the intimidating-looking clouds, nothing happened.
Yun Ran: ...
[Host, I suspect the Heavenly Dao is teasing you, not wanting to give you the benefit of striking down Heavenly Thunder.]
Other people of Xuan Sect, or spirit evils, they all fear Heavenly Punishment, facing it as if it were a catastrophic disaster.
Only her Host was a peculiar exception, not only unafraid of the descending Heavenly Punishment but even capable of stealing the Heavenly Thunder it brought.
Heavenly Dao isn’t foolish, having suffered losses several times, and after supplying the Host with ammunition, it has now grown wiser.
Yun Ran was also at a loss for words at this moment; she had deliberately chosen a perfect spot to be struck by the Heavenly Thunder, and this was the result?
"Are you striking or not? If not, I’m leaving!"
Heavenly Dao: ...
Initially, it just wanted to put on a show, go easy, knowing it couldn’t kill Yun Ran anyway, wasting effort, but then Yun Ran challenged it, where would its dignity be if it didn’t strike?
"Boom—"
Thunder rumbled, and as if provoked, the cluster of dark clouds suddenly burst into a downpour without warning.
Unable to run in time, Yun Ran was instantly drenched like a drowned rat, and at that moment, the Heavenly Thunder descended.
Compared to the overwhelming power from before, this time the Heavenly Thunder was merely symbolic, striking only a couple of times.
Yun Ran was too slow to retrieve her Heavenly Thunder Order to collect the Heavenly Thunder, and the dark clouds had already scattered, naturally, the Heavenly Thunder was gone too.
Yun Ran: ...
Especially since the clouds had dispersed and the sun came out.
Her silver-white hair, sticky and clinging to her face, made the soaked Yun Ran look especially ridiculous at this moment.
Ginsengfruit was also stunned by Heavenly Dao’s ludicrous action. Is this Heavenly Punishment? Who are they looking down on!!!
Yun Ran’s anger was rising by the second. She couldn’t believe that Heavenly Dao was reluctant to strike her; this perfunctory attitude was simply infuriating.
Such a humiliation-intensive but not very harmful Heavenly Punishment instantly made Yun Ran label Heavenly Dao as stingy.
Yun Ran wiped the remaining rainwater off her face and pushed her messy hair back before she finally let out a sigh.
Looking up at the sky again, she clenched her teeth and muttered, "You’re ruthless!"
Yun Ran opened her backpack—thankfully it was waterproof—and took out a towel and clean clothes to wipe herself and change.
By the time she reached the nearest town center, Yun Ran’s hair had already dried.
There were many tourists around, and someone like Yun Ran, with her striking silver hair and carrying big bags, did not attract much attention.
Yun Ran casually picked a restaurant to eat, looked at the entrance without entering yet, and then got pushed aside by a person who burst out from behind her.
"A good dog doesn’t stand in the way!"
Yun Ran took a few steps back to regain her balance as a strong arm supported her: "Are you okay?"
Yun Ran frowned and looked at the young man supporting her, who apologized while also glancing at the brash young woman ahead.
They seemed to carry the same aura about them, and Yun Ran did not look pleased, "Are you together?"
The young man’s apology became even more evident: "Sorry, my companion... she didn’t mean it, it’s just..."
But seeing Yun Ran’s unamused gaze fixed on him, he couldn’t bring himself to finish his sentence.
The brash young woman turned and glared at Yun Ran with undeniable arrogance in her eyes.
"What’s there to apologize for? She was in my way, and I was being nice by not pressing further!"
Soon after, a few more young people arrived, all apparently belonging to the same group.
The lead man asked in a low voice, "What’s going on?"
The young woman looked disdainfully at Yun Ran, rolling her eyes exaggeratedly.
"What else could it be? Just some poor wretch making a fuss over nothing, trying to swindle us."
Ginsengfruit exploded: [Host, let’s just blast them! What nerve, to actually blame us!]
Yun Ran, however, was not too upset; after all, who gets angry with people who are about to receive major misfortunes.
The leading man examined Yun Ran carefully, her outfit and gear didn’t look expensive.
Even though it was clear his companions had instigated the issue, Yun Ran was still an outsider at the moment.
He was about to say something to smooth things over when he saw Yun Ran chuckle lightly and turn to leave.
The young woman was immediately pissed off, offended that such a poor person dared to snub her.
Although the lead man was also slightly irritated, he clearly didn’t want to stir up trouble: "Alright, let’s hurry and rest up, don’t waste any more time."
With that said, the rest didn’t protest either; they entered the restaurant as they were there to restock, tired and hungry, with no time for further disturbances.
