My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

The abyss wolf's claws stopped in mid-air. It had never seen anything like this in its three thousand years of life. The power of chaos was the original energy when heaven and earth were created. The number of people in the entire cultivation world who could refine this thing could be counted on one hand.

"How could you, an ant at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, possibly possess the power of chaos?"

"Why can't I have it?"

Qin Yu pressed his hand on the furnace lid and pushed it forward an inch. The Chaos Furnace Fire surged out of the furnace three times faster. The flames were not attacking the Abyss Wolf, but were hooking something inside its body.

The Abyss Wolf's body began to stiffen. It felt a call from the depths of its marrow, the very source of death energy that had sustained it for three thousand years, rushing toward Qin Yu.

"You are absorbing my Nether Core."

“Nether energy is a lower branch of chaos. My furnace fire can fuse all things, so your Nether core is naturally within the scope of fusion.”

These words caused the purple ghost fire of the Abyss Wolf to flicker violently. At that moment, it finally realized what it had kicked in the wrong place. The three-thousand-year seal had cut it off from the outside world, and it had no idea that the Chaos Furnace had already been recognized as a master.

Recognizing the Chaos Furnace as its master requires the power of chaos. Possessing the power of chaos means overwhelming power at the level of the Heavenly Dao. In the face of the power of chaos, the Nether Qi is like a grandson meeting his ancestor.

"I have no grudge against you."

The wolf's tone shifted from arrogance to probing; it was searching for a way out.

"You just said you wanted to eat me first and then continue eating my wife's soul fragments. Does that count as a grudge?"

"That was a joke."

"I don't find it funny."

The suction force of the Chaos Furnace Fire intensified, and the Nether Core within the Abyss Wolf's body began to tremble violently. The core, which had condensed three thousand years of death energy, was being pulled out bit by bit, and with each bit pulled out, its cultivation level dropped by one point.

The aura of the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator plummeted to the early stage of Nascent Soul at this moment.

"You really want to drain me dry."

"Why don't I drain you dry?"

The Abyss Wolf's legs went weak. It had never experienced such a feeling in three thousand years. It only took ten breaths to go from hunter to prey. Its proud Netherworld Qi was like child's play in front of the Chaos Furnace Fire.

"I can submit."

When those four words came out of Yuanlang's mouth, even it couldn't believe it. A dignified mid-stage Nascent Soul Nether Beast kneeling before a human in the early stage of Nascent Soul—if word got out, the entire Northern Nether Abyss would laugh its head off.

What are the benefits of surrendering?

"I can be your mount. I know all the routes above the seventh level like the back of my hand. I can also help you detect any enemies below the Nascent Soul stage."

Qin Yu tapped his fingers twice on the furnace lid. The value of this Nether Beast was indeed higher than that of the pills it produced. A mount at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm was a rare commodity in the entire cultivation world.

"Where is the sincerity of your submission?"

"I am willing to accept the imprint of my soul."

As Yuanlang spoke, he lowered his body, his huge head pressed against the ground, the purple ghost fire went out, revealing two jet-black eyes.

A wisp of Chaos Furnace Fire split off from the furnace and entered the Abyss Wolf's brow. That wisp of fire left a mark deep within its soul, the shape of the dragon head handle of the Chaos Furnace.

"From now on, your name is Mo Nu."

The moment the branding was completed, the Abyss Wolf's body began to shrink, from the size of a mountain to the size of a black dog. Its fur changed from rough to smooth, and only the occasional flash of purple light in its eyes showed that it was not an ordinary dog.

Ye Gu stood to the side, his hand gripping the hilt of the Chaos·Absolute Grief sword. When that Nether Beast approached just now, his chest tightened and his legs trembled. Now it lay at Qin Yu's feet, its tongue lolling out and its tail sweeping the ground.

"Boss, you've acquired a dog at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"It's not a dog, it's a mount."

Qin Yu walked towards the center of the altar, where a ball of white light hung in mid-air, with a vague outline of a woman inside, her features indistinct.

Qin Yu stopped and stared at the silhouette.

Yan Mingyu.

He reached into the light and cradled the fragment of the soul in his palm. The fragment was cold, with jagged edges and gaps where it had been gnawed.

"Having been eaten by this beast for three thousand years, my essence has been severely depleted."

Zhuge Chuchu looked down at the fragments of the soul and frowned.

"Less than 30% of the original essence remains. Without the nourishment of the Nine Nether Soul-Nourishing Grass, it will completely dissipate within seven days."

"Where is the Nine Nether Soul Nourishing Grass?"

"The annual auction of the Ghost Market in Youdu will begin in three days, but the rules there are strict. To enter, you need to provide proof of 50,000 spirit crystals or a token from a top-ranked organization."

Qin Yu put the soul fragments into a specially made jade box, which he had just taken from Mu Yuanhan's storage ring. The jade box could temporarily stabilize the state of the soul.

"Let's go to the Ghost Market in Youdu!"

The group moved toward the exit of the seventh floor. Mo Nu's shrunken size was just right to keep up with Qin Yu's feet, and he walked like an ordinary black dog.

When they passed through the sixth layer of the sealed zone, the old woman who was half a step into the Nascent Soul stage was still standing in the same place. Her gaze swept from Qin Yu to the black dog at her feet, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"You have subdued the aura of the Abyss Wolf."

"Not only did I subdue it, but I also renamed it Mo Nu."

The old woman took a half step back. If word got out that a mid-stage Nascent Soul Abyss Overlord had been taken as a pet by a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, the entire landscape of the Northern Abyss would change.

"Senior, someone is waiting outside."

Zhuge Chuchu's crystal-clear eyes pierced through the walls of the blockade zone, allowing her to see the situation at the exit.

"Zhao Tianheng, the punishment elder of Tianlan Sect, with the cultivation of the early stage of Nascent Soul, led a team of thirty Nascent Soul stage Tianlan Sect law enforcement officers to block the exit."

The old woman's expression changed slightly. Tianlan Sect was a sect in the Northern Region that claimed to be the leader of the righteous path. The elders of punishment were specifically responsible for "punishing evil and promoting good," but the entire cultivation world knew that Tianlan Sect's punishment of evil and promotion of good meant taking whatever they wanted.

"Elder Zhao arrived half an hour ago, saying he came to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and to confiscate the demonic artifacts of Blood Fiend."

"The Blood Fiend is mine, and the Demonic Weapon is my furnace. If he wants to take it, let him take it."

After saying this, Qin Yu walked straight towards the exit. The old woman opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't, because she suddenly realized something.

Zhao Tianheng was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the black dog at Qin Yu's feet was at the middle stage. The outcome of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator fighting a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was obvious.

When the light pierced through the abyss's exit, Qin Yu saw the old man in white robes, suspended in mid-air, his spiritual energy swirling around him, forming a pale golden light shield.

"Blood Fiend, you have committed countless evils, stealing the Heavenly Craft Pavilion's most precious treasures. Today, I, representing the righteous path of the Northern Region, will confiscate your demonic artifacts and cripple your cultivation to set an example." (End of Chapter)
