The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1280 Contracts Should Be Made Early

However, the people of Shenjian Manor did not show any dissatisfaction despite the nine-headed beast's show of force.

On the contrary, the extreme fear and trembling throughout his body gave rise to an even stronger sense of fanaticism.

As for Yun Ran, they completely ignored her, and even vaguely felt that her presence was a bit of an eyesore.

The nine-headed beast looked down at those who trembled with fear.

"If you wish to form a contract with me, you must abide by my rules, otherwise..."

The people from Shenjian Manor were quite shrewd. Their fear was genuine, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, but that didn't stop their minds from working very quickly.

They all nodded vigorously, as if they wanted to kowtow to the nine-headed beast on the spot to show their stance.

Yunran suddenly felt she couldn't bear to watch anymore. She had been worried that the two sides wouldn't get along, but it turned out they were doing just fine without her.

The nine-headed beast had not experienced this feeling of being in control of everything for a very, very long time.

He couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear. If he had stopped Yun Ran from using him as a bargaining chip, he wouldn't be enjoying these good days now.

Long Ling leaned against the wall, watching the scene unfold before her, and almost burst out laughing.

Although he had a good relationship with Yunran, seeing Yunran get the short end of the stick still made him want to clench his teeth and let them see.

Long Ling didn't laugh out loud, but the noise he made was still noticed by Yun Ran.

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at him, and then rolled her eyes at the nine-headed beast.

What a tragedy! Not a single person around me is easy to deal with. Why can't she just leave? Out of sight, out of mind!

"You can handle the rest yourselves. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now!"

After taking out the array plate that could bind the nine-headed ferocious beast to the Divine Sword Manor for a hundred years, Yun Ran turned and left.

By the time the people from Shenjian Villa realized what was happening, Yun Ran and her group had already vanished without a trace.

Seeing the nine-headed ferocious beast that still occupied most of the courtyard, the people of Divine Sword Manor's first reaction was to quickly form a contract with it.

To avoid being targeted by some shameless people, even though their Divine Sword Manor has sufficient resources, what if...

There are always some people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even at the cost of many innocent lives.

Young Master Xue looked at the ancient array plate in his hand and felt that the contract should be signed as soon as possible.

He immediately said to the people behind him, "Immediately arrange for people to keep a close watch on all areas. Also, send people to guard this area. I need the contract made immediately!"

Those who came here with Young Master Xue were all his confidants, and naturally obeyed his orders completely.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away!"

The remaining people, without needing any instructions from Young Master Xue, proactively found their places and began to act as protectors for the upcoming contract.

The nine-headed beast was speechless at the anxious look on these people's faces. However, since his purpose was to enjoy the offerings from the Divine Sword Manor, he didn't bother to say anything more.

As soon as Yunran and the others left the outer perimeter of the Divine Sword Manor, they noticed that the contract array plate had been activated.

Long Ling raised an eyebrow: "These people are too impatient. Don't they know how to find a quieter place to make a contract?"

Moreover, the entire time from when they came out to now has actually been no more than three minutes.

The little paper figure sat on Yunran's shoulder, its tiny head nodding repeatedly, indicating its agreement with Longling's statement. It just seemed that the people of Divine Sword Manor were rather unreliable.

Whether in Yunran's heart, Longling's heart, or even the little paper doll's heart, the remnant souls of ancient ferocious beasts, though rare, are not so rare as to be considered unattainable.

Ma San, who had been following behind them and whose head was still a little dizzy, reflexively said, "Good stuff, if you're not quick, it'll really get stolen."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Ma San.

It seemed that only then did Long Ling realize that there was a guy with a very low profile following behind them.

Several pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, and Ma San suddenly snapped to attention. His previously dizzy head immediately cleared up.

Terrified, Ma San immediately knelt down and began slapping himself in the face: "M-Master, I...I will never dare to say another word..."

Long Ling immediately looked at Yun Ran with a reproachful gaze, as if to say, 'Why have you become so harsh?'

Yunran was speechless, but she clearly had no way to make an ancient person from a thousand years ago understand what human rights are in just a few words.

"Get up. Let it go this time. Next time, observe more and talk less!"

Ma San was terrified. How dare this servant interrupt his master while he was speaking?

If this were at the Dark Palace's stronghold, his behavior would be considered lenient if his tongue were cut out.

But he never expected that his overstepping behavior would be met with such a casual "never mind".

An indescribable feeling suddenly exploded in his chest, making him wish he could charge into battle for Yunran and die for her.

But this overwhelming emotion rendered him unable to utter a single word. At that moment, he truly hated his own clumsy mouth.

He can't speak when he should, and he interrupts when he shouldn't!
Yunran's carriage was being well taken care of.

Upon seeing Yun Ran and her group emerge, the person guarding the carriage was slightly taken aback, as the auction was still ongoing.

However, as a servant trained by the Divine Sword Manor, he believed that whatever the distinguished guest did was right, and he dared not show the slightest doubt on his face.

After leading the carriage over, they immediately bowed and scraped, saying, "Honored guest, please take care!"

Yun Ran never shortchanged those with discerning eyes, so she took out something she used to tip people and tossed it over.

"Thank you for the generous gift!"

If it weren't for Ma San's constant service, the servants of Shenjian Manor who received the reward would have rushed over to serve as Yun Ran's human stool.

When the carriage was reduced to a tiny black dot, leaving trails of dust, the man, who had been bent over, had not yet straightened up.

Once even the last tiny black dot had disappeared, other servants immediately gathered around.

"What did that esteemed person bestow upon you? Let us see it."

The man who received the reward straightened up and tightly gripped the gift Yun Ran had thrown to him.

An impatient expression appeared on his face, and he used his other hand to shoo away people who came closer, as if swatting flies.

"What are you looking at? What's so interesting? Even a single leaf, a gift from a noble person, is precious. Do you even deserve to look at it!"

After saying that, he quickly stuffed the things into his arms, blocking everyone's view.
