Chapter 1379 - 1375

Ma San continued to stand respectfully to the side, not daring to express his own opinion at all.

Chi Yao earnestly explained a few things to the Little Paperman, then looked around the courtyard in front of him with some reluctance.

He had only lived here for a few days, but those days had been the most peaceful of his life.

In the future, he might never experience such days again.

"I should be going now, this farewell..."

Chi Yao didn’t finish the remaining words; he should have been accustomed to solitude, even if there were companions, when the time came, they would still part ways.

The Little Paperman didn’t notice the faint sadness around Chi Yao.

At this moment, hearing that Chi Yao was leaving, and before he could completely listen to his words, the Little Paperman hurriedly waved: "Alright, goodbye!"

The childish voice was clearly mixed with some joy, as if a child had gotten candy and was very happy.

Chi Yao: ...

Forget it, it’s not worth arguing with a Paper Puppet!

Chi Yao turned and flicked his sleeve, leaving at a fast pace, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"What does he mean by that, I said goodbye to him, and he just turned and walked away, how rude!"

With Chi Yao gone, Ma San’s restraint immediately eased a bit.

"Lord Paper, what should we do now?"

Yun Ran’s instructions were heard not only by the Little Paperman but also by Ma San.

Yet he still asked the Little Paperman first, clearly treating the Little Paperman as the leader in charge.

Even though he was born a coachman in the Dark Hall, it didn’t mean he was truly foolish or lacked talent.

It was just that his poor background kept him stuck at the bottom rung, yet now Yun Ran had noticed him and given him an opportunity to rise.

Ma San was extremely grateful for being recognized and indeed carried a bit of the Death Soldier vibe.

As long as it was Yun Ran’s instructions, even if he was told to poke a hole in the sky, if he couldn’t do it, Ma San would make himself the most steadfast stepping stone.

The Little Paperman’s mental capacity was only so much, executing tasks posed no issue, but coming up with ideas... hmm, it was a bit challenging.

However, it couldn’t let Ma San see through it, so it immediately cleared its throat.

"Didn’t Chi Yao just say to build good relations with the future City Lord of Moonlight City? If we just go like this, people will definitely ignore us.

Right now, it’s best to get a good outfit first, so at the first meeting, we leave an impression that we’re not simple."

Having said that, the Little Paperman generously brought out numerous gold, silver, and treasures stored there by its master, along with various other resources.

"Take these, and also, get rid of that timid aura about you!"

Ma San was somewhat dumbfounded as he watched the pile of things akin to a mini-treasure trove spill out from the Little Paperman’s mouth.

It was the first time he realized that the Paper Puppets crafted by the master not only had the ability to think but also possessed the legendary skill of storing items.

After swallowing hard, Ma San finally nodded: "Rest assured, Lord Paper, I definitely won’t shame the master!"

The Little Paperman was quite satisfied with Ma San’s understanding.

As for whether or not it worried about Ma San rebelling later, or even coveting things that didn’t belong to him, the Little Paperman was very aware.

To kill a rebellious Ma San was a matter of moments.

No matter how powerful someone was, under its self-destructing power infused with its master’s Essence Blood and refined by Heavenly Thunder, half of the people in this Dream Realm might die.

"Alright then, you practice well by yourself, I’m going out for a while, I’ll be back soon!"

With no interference from Chi Yao, nor arrays from those people in the Divine Hall, the Little Paperman was free to go wherever it wanted.

Chi Yao left, and the Little Paperman flew away too.

Ma San looked at the courtyard which just a moment ago had some human presence, suddenly becoming utterly desolate.

He glanced at the resources piled up in front of him, enough to sustain a small family.

If it were anyone else, their mind might have been filled with thoughts; at the very least, they would feel the joy of rising in status, if not necessarily wanting to embezzle a bit.

But Ma San had no thoughts at all; he diligently squatted down, organizing and categorizing the piled-up items.

Meanwhile, his mind started recalling the conversations he had witnessed among family heads of other clans.

For someone from the bottom like him, encountering opportunities for noble education was rare, and he desired a swift transformation.

The best method was imitation.

When Yun Ran was around, he only needed to be a sycophant basking in his master’s glory; there was no need to imitate, as many around him were like that, learning without trying.

To learn how to be a decent person was truly not easy; resources were just the foundation.

The first place the Little Paperman went after leaving was the Mei Family.

Master Mei was dealing with some affairs that had accumulated recently when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

This made him somewhat annoyed, hadn’t he instructed already that without important matters, no disturbances were allowed?

Thus, Master Mei’s tone was also not very pleasant: "What is it!"

The person inside responded, and to the Little Paperman, that was consent to enter.

Being the Mei Family, they barely counted as having some face in front of its master.

Otherwise, the Little Paperman wouldn’t even knock, it would just squeeze in through the door gap.

"It’s me~"

The Little Paperman’s somewhat tender and childish voice was distinctly recognizable; as soon as its voice emerged,

Master Mei’s eyes flashed with astonishment, then he quickly put down the brush in his hand and stepped out from behind the desk.

Sure enough, he saw the talking Little Paperman.

"You..."

The Little Paperman didn’t regard itself as an outsider at all; upon seeing Master Mei, it casually sat at the table beside the guest area.

Although it wasn’t a real person, flying in mid-air to converse in someone else’s home was slightly impolite.

"I have something to discuss with you."

Master Mei was also curious about what the Little Paperman sought him for, hadn’t he already settled things with Yun Ran beforehand?

"I’m here for Mei the Fifth!"

Master Mei: ...

"Well, I was wondering if we could discuss something; could we refrain from addressing the Fifth Elder as Mei the Fifth in front of outsiders?"

Master Mei vowed that he wasn’t trying to put on airs.

If others heard the Little Paperman addressing their Fifth Elder directly as Mei the Fifth, they’d genuinely lose face.

The Little Paperman felt a bit speechless: "You can’t possibly think that just anyone can see me, right~"

Was it so easy to meet it?

At this point, Master Mei was completely at a loss for words and could only change the subject.

"The Fifth Elder is still out on a mission, in a few days at most, he’ll be back; when he returns, I’ll notify you, alright?"
