Chapter 499: Chapter 499

When it was time to go down the mountain, Yun Ran naturally couldn’t walk step by step like before. Little Paperman coolly got to work and quickly made two sleds.

Watching Yun Ran and Ginsengfruit just sit on the sleds, carried by the Little Paperman, they vanished in a flash.

A trace of envy flashed through Dragon Spirit’s eyes. It could fly, but it hadn’t flown before. This was so impressive!

After a moment’s thought, it quickly caught up and landed on the sled Ginsengfruit was sitting on.

It didn’t dare go on Yun Ran’s sled, but Ginsengfruit’s sled was alright to hitch a ride on.

The wind whipped past their ears, and half an hour later, avoiding the Special Administration Bureau’s camp, they reached the foot of the mountain.

If it weren’t for the limitations of a flesh-and-blood body, the Little Papermen could have descended even faster.

Yun Ran adjusted the hat that had been blown askew by the wind and glanced at the Little Paperman.

The Little Paperman immediately dismantled the sled and slammed it with an electric spark. The wood quickly turned to charcoal.

A couple of stomps turned it directly into charcoal powder. After successfully ’destroying the evidence’, the Little Paperman immediately hid away.

Yun Ran saw that Dragon Spirit was still beside her and was genuinely at a loss, "Why haven’t you left yet!"

Ugh, ungrateful humans. If it weren’t worried about her, would it keep staying here being disliked?

Saying this, Dragon Spirit flicked its tail and vanished in a blink.

Ginsengfruit glanced at the nearby Special Administration Bureau members before asking, "Host, are we leaving now?"

"I’m no longer part of the Special Administration Bureau. It’s better to have less entanglement with them."

However, even when leaving, it’s necessary to inform certain people.

For instance, Elder Gong. After all, she had coaxed him to come over earlier, and leaving without a word would be quite rude.

The most important thing is to ensure it won’t be difficult to persuade them next time.

She waved her hand, and one of the previously hidden Little Paperman instantly flew out.

After searching for a while, the Little Paperman found Elder Gong resting in a tent.

However, there were quite a few people in the tent, leaving the Little Paperman unsure whether it should enter directly.

The host had taught them not to disturb others when they are discussing matters.

So, it stuck to the window of the tent, planning to wait a bit and see.

A wave of energy rushed directly towards the Little Paperman’s location.

The Little Paperman smartly dodged, its tiny head full of confusion.

It hadn’t intentionally hidden itself, but it’s still somewhat difficult to detect.

This person being able to spot it the moment it approached is quite impressive.

Being discovered, the Little Paperman directly reached out, lifted the curtain on the window, and flew in.

The man who had spoken earlier saw it was just a palm-sized Little Paperman entering, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

He possessed a supernatural ability: whenever there was an air disturbance, he’d become aware of it.

Wherever he was, attempts to eavesdrop or any drones would fail.

The man was a bit puzzled, "What’s this..."

Minister Duan interrupted his question, looking at the neat appearance of the Little Paperman, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind.

"Your host is alright?"

The Little Paperman nodded. Its purpose there was merely to convey a message to Elder Gong and Minister Duan.

"Yes, we’re about to leave; the host asked me to deliver a message~"

After speaking, it didn’t care what reply Elder Gong and the others had and vanished instantly.

Minister Duan, watching the Little Paperman run so fast, was somewhat speechless.

"Hey, this Little Paperman really is something; even delivering a message isn’t straightforward, why rush so much!"

Elder Gong’s face was still somewhat pale, but it was much better than before.

The furrowed brows instantly relaxed after the Little Paperman delivered its message.

"That girl indeed has her trump card; she managed to escape from such a dangerous place."

Minister Duan glanced at the others in the tent, their eyes full of ’big loss’.

Previously, to ’rescue’ Yun Ran, Elder Gong had used his connections to gather so many skilled people.

Now, Yun Ran herself emerged and sent a Little Paperman to inform them she was leaving. She hadn’t shown up at all, leaving Minister Duan unsure of what to say.

Elder Gong smiled at the others, "I really troubled you all this time, but didn’t expect that this matter would be resolved so unexpectedly. However, this service is something I do acknowledge."

"Elder Gong, what are you saying? It’s our honor to be able to assist you!"

"Indeed, Elder Gong, you should rest now, leave the remaining matters to us."

Others came here partly for Elder Gong’s sake, and partly because they wanted things from this mountain range.

As long as it’s not excessive, they were implicitly allowed to secure some benefits for themselves.

After arranging everything with the others, Minister Duan returned to Elder Gong’s tent.

Seeing Elder Gong about to get out of bed, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Your health needs proper rest, just call me for anything."

"Yun Ran left so neatly, which means there are others on the mountain, and if I’m not mistaken, Director Xie might be here."

Minister Duan was shocked, "No way, having Gu Chu isn’t enough?"

Elder Gong shook his head, his gaze looking in the direction of the mountains through the tent window.

"It’s not enough. If there were only us here, Gu Yuan might be able to cope, but now the threat on the mountain is resolved.

Do you think those hidden Mystical Sect families won’t emerge? Do you know how many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are in these mountains?

Leaving others aside, the little fox that led us earlier is not only rare but has awakened its spiritual wisdom. Consuming it can prolong life and prevent aging..."

Minister Duan was not naïve and innocent, but his excellent background and high position allowed him to get what he wanted with just a word.

Now hearing such brutal resource grabbing talk, he was uncharacteristically silent for a moment.

If the crisis in the mountains was truly lifted, it wouldn’t just be Gu Yuan alone—add even him and Elder Gong—and they’d still be unable to stop those with more power.

Though he didn’t like Yun Ran, he understood her somewhat, at least her character wasn’t bad.

What they could think of, Yun Ran must also have considered. She left so gracefully, indicating someone capable of managing the situation must already be here.

"But, Director Xie..." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the noⅴelfire.net

Before coming here, Xie Xuzhi deliberately released information in advance with the intent to intimidate those lurking around.

Elder Gong had his own channels for information, but previously, he hadn’t paid attention.
