CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 752: HIGHLIGHTING THE CREDIT

Yun Ran took the medicine, and her aura stabilized a bit, which finally eased the concerns of Xie Xuzhi’s subordinates.

"Lady Yun, let me escort you to the lounge to rest for a while."

Xie Xuzhi was also supported towards the lounge.

When they reached the exclusive hotel lounge, Xie Xuzhi waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to carry out his previous instructions.

The eight paused for a moment, but thinking that Director Xie was here at the hotel, with Lady Yun and the Ginsengfruit, there shouldn’t be any issues.

They nodded and quickly left.

The Ginsengfruit was perceptive enough to leave the space for Yun Ran and Xie Xuzhi, retreating outside.

As the door closed, it also got sealed with an Isolation Talisman.

With no outsiders around, Yun Ran dropped her act.

She sat grandly in the principal seat, not caring at all about the truly injured Xie Xuzhi.

"Was the blood you spat earlier fake?"

Yet, the bloody scent on Yun Ran was real, puzzling Xie Xuzhi.

Yun Ran generously took out her Vomit Blood Pill and placed it beside Xie Xuzhi’s hand.

"Consider yourself fortunate, this is my exclusive stash. If you ever need to deal with someone, just swallow it and it’ll guarantee a solid hammer on them!"

Xie Xuzhi was in pain all over, but he endured it, showing no sign of discomfort on his face.

He reached out for the pink-looking pill and chuckled lightly, "If I want to deal with someone, I don’t need any evidence. My word is the conclusion."

Yun Ran: ...

Damn it, really want to fight it out with these top-of-the-food-chain guys!

Yun Ran, somewhat exasperated, said to Xie Xuzhi, "Huh, you’re so impressive, give me back my pill!"

Xie Xuzhi simply wrapped up the pill and pocketed it.

"Once something is given, there’s no taking it back. I might not need it, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless to me."

Thinking of something, Xie Xuzhi continued, "How do you ensure that our disguise could be discovered by them?"

Yun Ran shot a ’you layman’ look at Xie Xuzhi, "Are you questioning my expertise? What judgment!"

Ever since discovering Xie Xuzhi had been fooled for so many years, Yun Ran viewed him through rose-colored glasses of ’easily duped’.

Still, she’s professional; if the other party doesn’t understand, she’ll definitely explain and not adopt a cold attitude.

"They have spent significant effort on you; I don’t believe they’ll truly abandon such a costly pawn.

Hence, they’re definitely watching you closely all the time.

What you just endured greatly disrupted your natural aura, without endangering your life.

Which means now, in their eyes, your deadly calamity has rebounded!"

Xie Xuzhi initially didn’t mind whatever trick Yun Ran might have played on him; he voiced maintaining a sliver of caution towards Yun Ran.

But in truth, he had a genuine physiological trust in Yun Ran; if one day Yun Ran aimed a blade at his neck...

He wouldn’t think Yun Ran intended to kill him but thought something was approaching his neck.

Now, hearing Yun Ran speak so confidently, he was truly curious.

"What did you do?"

At present, Yun Ran and Xie Xuzhi were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so there was no point in hiding anything.

Yun Ran rummaged through her bag and pulled out her Lifebound Magical Artifact.

Xie Xuzhi immediately recognized the Heavenly Thunder Order.

"Isn’t this your Lifebound Magical Artifact? Was it the power of the Heavenly Thunder Order that made me feel like I was electrocuted all over earlier?"

Yun Ran nodded.

At this point, Xie Xuzhi’s eyes widened in disbelief, as he carried several top-tier Defensive Magic Artifacts himself.

And Yun Ran was far from him, with clear, cloudless skies, without any thunder in sight.

So, how did Yun Ran manage to precisely strike him across space with the Heavenly Thunder Order?

And without alarming the defensive magic artifacts he had on him?

Acquainted with many mystical techniques of the Xuan Sect, even Xie Xuzhi found himself astonished by their wondrous methods this time.

Before, feeling he couldn’t learn, he had little interest in understanding them.

Now, though, he was suddenly a bit intrigued, wondering if it wasn’t too late to learn now.

Whatever Xie Xuzhi was thinking, Yun Ran didn’t know, but it didn’t stop her from continuing to explain to Xie Xuzhi.

"Do you know how to lift your Blood Curse?"

This, Xie Xuzhi indeed didn’t know, remembering only the immense suffering, and that he would not have endured without his strong will.

"Back then at Huangding Villa, I said I had a way to help lift the deadly calamity on you, but it required help.

At that time, beneath Huangding Villa, I found the Dragon Spirit still had a breath; as long as it was willing to exchange part of its Dragon Core, it could save your life, no problem.

Who could’ve imagined, plans couldn’t keep up with changes. Not only did I catch a Fire Dragon Spirit, but also happened upon your near-death moment.

Fortunately, you carried the Heavenly Thunder Pearl and Little Paperman I gave you.

I had to forcibly use the unrefined Fire Dragon Dragon Essence to save you; without the Heavenly Thunder Pearl suppressing it, you would’ve been burned to ashes by the Fire Dragon’s Dragon Essence.

Ultimately, you survived, but my Heavenly Thunder Pearl was mostly absorbed by you, and your body now carries its aura.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl and the Heavenly Thunder Order are crafted from the same material, so the Heavenly Thunder Order naturally perceived you as the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

Earlier, I channeled some energy from the Heavenly Thunder Order into you, disturbing your aura to make you appear injured.

However, this energy’s reinforcement will benefit you; henceforth, no sinister methods should affect you."

Yun Ran always believes in taking full credit for her actions.

If there are three portions of credit, it should be glorified into ten.

If not for her precise judgment, extraordinary strength, and decisive action...

In the right place at the right time with the right people, Xie Xuzhi could survive.

If faced with the same scenario again, Yun Ran wouldn’t dare guarantee the same success under those conditions.

There was previously no opportunity to detail the methods used when saving Xie Xuzhi.

Now the timing was perfect to reveal all her contributions and put Xie Xuzhi at ease.

Although her methods weren’t the prettiest, the outcome was favorable.
