# Chapter 1301: Mighty Fortune
"You... you fucking..."
Chu Tianqiu felt that he had completely provoked Xiao Ran by now, and could only adapt to the situation as it unfolded. How strong was Yun Yao's "Fortune" today?
Could it actually make a "Divine Beast" actively avoid engaging in this situation?
"Damn it..." Xiao Ran stepped back a few paces until her back pressed against the wall, "Don't take the eyeball... if you take it, how am I supposed to report back to Azure Dragon... you fucking useless piece of shit who ruins everything..."
"Hm?" Chu Tianqiu put on a puzzled expression, "That's a bit ridiculous, aren't we enemies? You're a 'Divine Beast', I'm a rebel. What reason would I have to be part of your plans?"
"Yes... I was going to say, for the sake of old times, I'd spare your worthless lives and only kill that bitch Yun Yao... but now it seems you're all asking for death..." Xiao Ran said through gritted teeth, "Just you wait... now you're all my mortal enemies..."
To everyone's surprise, after issuing her threats, Xiao Ran didn't make a move. She simply leaned against the wall, glaring furiously around the room, and said, "Just wait... you rebels just wait... Where's Azure Dragon? Damn it, where did Azure Dragon go?"
Chu Tianqiu and Yun Yao exchanged glances, then furrowed their brows. He made a bold guess about the current situation. Xiao Ran had been chased by a group of "Insignificant Ants" just moments ago, only resorting to using "Space Leap" when absolutely necessary. Combining that with her recent behavior... was it possible she hadn't mastered "Echo" at all?
A "Divine Beast" who had neither strengthened her body nor mastered "Echo" — was this the reason "Mighty Fortune" had brought her through the door?
Xiao Ran looked around the room for a long time, her gaze soon settling on the door in front of Tiantian. Since Azure Dragon wasn't here, he must have gone inside.
She let out an angry laugh, "If Azure Dragon finds out you're making trouble here... you're dead..."
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, she charged forward, shoving Tiantian aside, and began pounding on the door panel. "Azure Dragon!! Are you in there?! Something's happening outside! Come out now!!"
Tiantian fell to the ground, but still kept her eyes closed with no expression, seemingly trying to solidify her final memories.
Zhang Chenze and Yun Yao helped Tiantian up, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
Tiantian muttered with her eyes closed, "The patterns on the last door panel are three long and nine short... twelve cracks... I've memorized all of them..."
"Memorized them?"
Tiantian opened her eyes, and said seriously to the people in front of her, "We can go! Let's hurry back!"
Everyone knew there was no time to waste. For Tiantian to memorize all the patterns on a door with such intricate carvings using just her brainpower was no easy feat — they had to reach Qi Xia's room before she forgot them.
But just as Chu Tianqiu was about to push the door open, he suddenly realized something —
Under these circumstances, could he even get out? Although Xiao Ran didn't pose a threat, she had brought a group of "Insignificant Ants" waiting outside. As expected, the moment he opened the door, he would be swarmed by "Insignificant Ants". While he might not die, all the "weapons" would disappear.
Yun Yao seemed to notice Chu Tianqiu's concern. She stepped forward quickly, patted his shoulder, and said, "Tianqiu... it'll be fine."
Chu Tianqiu turned to look at Yun Yao, but he knew that Yun Yao was no "Karma" after all — she couldn't get them out of this situation with just a "it'll be fine."
"Think of something, anything..." Yun Yao said, "The 'Fortune' right now is extremely strong. It will definitely protect us."
"Anything..." Chu Tianqiu seemed to have an idea. He looked down at his palm, where lay the ability he had taken from Xiao Ran.
This was probably the only ability derived from "Fortune."
With some doubt, he tossed the eyeball into his mouth and briefly tested the changes in his body. He felt as though wind was beneath his feet, and even his body seemed to transcend space itself.
It was indeed "Space Leap."
"Yun Yao... your 'Fortune' seems a bit too strong." Chu Tianqiu laughed, "Not only did I take Qiongqi's 'Space Leap', but it also drastically shortened the task time."
He reached out and grabbed Tiantian, then turned to the other two, "I'll take Tiantian to find Qi Xia first. You two be careful."
"Alright!"
Chu Tianqiu opened the door, and a group of "Insignificant Ants" immediately looked up at him, as if judging whether the target in front of them could be attacked. But in the next second, Chu Tianqiu vanished with Tiantian, leaping several dozen meters away. Before the "Insignificant Ants" could reacquire their target, Chu Tianqiu had already taken Tiantian even farther.
Yun Yao and Zhang Chenze watched for a moment, then, seeing that the "Insignificant Ants" indeed didn't seem intent on attacking them, carefully stepped forward. At the same time, Yun Yao casually picked up the lipstick from the table. They left the scene to the "Insignificant Ants" and "Qiongqi."
The numerous "Insignificant Ants" were like travelers waiting for a subway train, politely letting the two leave before filing through the door themselves. Xiao Ran's screams instantly filled the room, but neither Yun Yao nor Zhang Chenze paid any attention.
Yun Yao looked at Zhang Chenze and said softly, "I thought you might want to save her, since she seems like a poor girl at heart too."
Zhang Chenze shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I like every clever, brave, and kind girl... but her..."
"Understood."
"Besides, no one in this world has an easy life..." Zhang Chenze continued, "Falling into depravity was her own choice. It doesn't deserve sympathy."
As they were talking, they noticed a "Heaven Grade" room's door opening not far away. A plump man walked out with Earth Dog, Lin Qin, Xiaoxiao, and Zheng Yingxiong, each wearing complex expressions.
"Huh?" Zhang Chenze quickly noticed Earth Dog's lazy expression among the group, "Aren't you that... from the 'Year of Calamity'..."
"Oh, morning. Taking a break too?" Earth Dog replied nonchalantly, but didn't stop, continuing forward with the group. However, their direction wasn't toward the corridor, but rather toward the "Cargo Hold" side.
"Where are you all going..." Yun Yao asked, confused, "...?"
Lin Qin swallowed nervously. Taking advantage of the group's inattention, he quietly sidled over to the two women and whispered, "Things have changed... Yun Yao, Lawyer Zhang... find a place to hide quickly. Don't come out no matter what happens... remember..."
"Huh?"
"That's all..." Lin Qin said, "Be careful!"
With that, he rejoined the group and headed toward the "Cargo Hold" side.
But the two soon noticed that the group didn't stop at the already opened door. Instead, they bypassed Aunt Tong and the other "Extreme Path Cultivators" at the entrance, heading for a deeper door.
