Chapter 1391 - 1387: Much Ado About Nothing

Hearing the Little Paperman’s voice, Ma San immediately came out from the backyard. Upon seeing an acquaintance, a faint joy of meeting a fellow townsman was evident in his eyes.

Ma San had been keeping a low profile during this period, almost to the point of being unnoticed, but that didn’t mean he was devoid of emotions.

Without having time to greet, Mei Zhang’s expression turned to shock upon seeing Ma San.

With trembling fingers, he pointed at Ma San: "You... you, you..."

Repeatedly saying "you" several times, Mei Zhang couldn’t complete his sentence.

The Ma San in front of him differed vastly from the Ma San in his memory, almost like a completely different person.

Not only had he lost the servile nature unique to household servants, but even his entire aura had undergone a drastic transformation.

Anyone unfamiliar with Ma San’s background would now see him as a scion from a prominent family.

"Oh my god, how long has it been since we last met? Were you seized by someone?"

Mei Zhang’s voice was somewhat distorted; he wasn’t unfamiliar with those who have transformed dramatically, but never this quickly!

The Little Paperman rolled its eyes to express its current attitude.

"You’re too easily surprised. You’re an elder of a family after all, be more composed. This is clearly a case of ’clothes make the man’!"

Mei Zhang: ...

What does this have to do with composure? It’s clearly about performing major transformations instantly!

After a few jabs from the Little Paperman, Mei Zhang dared only to complain inwardly, but outwardly appeared very convinced.

"Yes, yes, Lord Paper you’re right... I wonder what urgent matter you have that necessitated finding me?"

Not wanting to continue being teased by a tiny paper figure no larger than his palm, Mei Zhang immediately changed the subject.

The Little Paperman remembered now that it had an important matter for calling Mei Zhang over.

"Oh, you see, with your interruption just now, I almost forgot the main business!"

Mei Zhang pursed his lips, oh well, yet another big burden directly placed on him, better not respond.

Just listen with ears, otherwise he wouldn’t know when this so-called business would finish being addressed.

The Little Paperman pointed to Ma San: "I’ve set my sights on a piece of land. You go buy it for me, take Xiaoma with you."

At this moment, Ma San’s demeanor was dignified, and he was wearing clothes made from fabric specially customized by the Dragon Spirit, made from dark patterned materials.

Standing under the sunlight, the fabric’s sheen mixed with specific dark patterns was absolutely top-tier luxury!

Such material, not to mention in the ancient world with originally undeveloped productivity, is also exceedingly rare in modern society.

It’s not just about having the money; it also requires sufficient status and background.

The Dragon Spirit originally had to leverage the Xie Family’s reputation to specially open a production line, solely for custom-making this kind of fabric for himself.

Now, it was being used by the Little Paperman as the launch resource for the New Moonlight City.

If the Dragon Spirit knew his fabric stored with the Little Paperman was casually given away like this, he would probably feel a great loss.

Looking at the distinctly different demeanor of Ma San now, although unsure what the Little Paperman intends to do, he evidently had no room for opposition.

"Alright, I know, I’ll go handle it right away!"

Saying this, Mei Zhang was ready to turn and leave, without even asking the Little Paperman about the budget.

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry? It’s not like something is chasing you from behind! I haven’t finished talking yet!"

The Little Paperman no longer lay on the toy deck chair, directly flying to Mei Zhang’s face.

Watching the Little Paperman fly to his face in an instant, Mei Zhang felt his brow twitch, almost scared his soul out.

"This is top secret, I haven’t placed the prohibition on you yet to prevent accidental divulgence!"

Mei Zhang felt an icy sensation at his brow, it came fast and left quickly, along with some itchy sensation.

"Alright then, from now on, anything you’ve heard today in this courtyard cannot be disclosed, no matter how you attempt it, it won’t work, oh~"

The Little Paperman’s sweet voice, soft and tender, was filled with latent killing intent.

Mei Zhang was only slightly surprised, but didn’t have a single thought of resisting.

"Does this prohibition really work? I’ll give it a try... mmm mmm mmm..."

Mei Zhang just wanted to repeat what the Little Paperman said earlier.

Immediately, his mouth seemed sewn shut, unable to speak a word, only able to utter muffled sounds.

Unable to speak, Mei Zhang still defied disbelief, trying to gesture with his fingers.

As soon as this thought arose, Mei Zhang’s hand became uncontrollable, instantly resembling a chicken’s claw.

Soon after, he started to struggle to breathe, as if someone was firmly clutching his throat.

Only when Mei Zhang completely dispelled the notion of leaking secrets, did the near-death sensation and symptom of stars in his eyes disappear.

Mei Zhang, now recovered, gasped heavily with no trace of luck in his eyes anymore.

Yet being a Xuan Sect sect member, none ever witnessed such potent prohibition without being curious.

"This... this is too incredible! Can I learn this Forbidden Technique?"

At this moment, Mei Zhang didn’t regard himself as an outsider at all, opening his mouth to learn!

"You can, of course, it’s something I created myself, not a secret magic technique, just requires high aptitude, I fear you may lack the potential..."

As a Puppet that developed spiritual wisdom, just that alone is an impressive feat.

Now, the Little Paperman can even innovate prohibition-related magic techniques themselves, indeed showcasing a proud skill.

After Yun Ran defeated him, Mei Zhang never again displayed his previous arrogance.

Even if the Little Paperman flatly criticizes his lack of aptitude, Mei Zhang dared not lose face; his eye expression didn’t betray any emotion.

"I..."

He was about to say it’s fine if unable to learn, just seeing it would be enough.

Who knew, the next moment, the Little Paperman’s finger already poked Mei Zhang’s forehead.

A small warm yellow ball of light swiftly penetrated Mei Zhang’s forehead skin.

"Alright, the magic is passed to you; it’s a matter of comprehension, not to be explicitly described. Whether you can learn it depends on your aptitude.

Oh, by the way, forgot to tell you, aside from my own demise, this prohibition cannot be lifted. You better not waste your effort."

"I absolutely dare not!"

Had he not experienced being controlled by Yun Ran’s Puppetry Technique, Mei Zhang might have entertained other thoughts.

Ma San hadn’t spoken all along; despite being glad to see an acquaintance, his gaze was constantly fixed on Mei Zhang.

Should Mei Zhang show the slightest anomaly, his blade would immediately fall upon Mei Zhang’s chest.
