Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

Only then did Wang Dong'er notice that Kong Ming'an's right hand was casually placed behind his back, and in his hand, he held a dark red chain that exuded a chilling, murderous aura.

Then, to Wang Dong'er's puzzled gaze, the chains suddenly snapped, and a figure bound in mid-air by the dark red chains was dragged out somewhat disheveled from the still-unsettled spatial ripples.

Chapter 174 Common Sense Modification Contract

It was a young girl with a slender figure who looked somewhat familiar to Wang Dong'er.

After clearly seeing the other person's distinctive blond hair, red eyes, and face, Wang Dong'er's pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn't help but call out the other person's name:

"Qiu'er?!"

The Qiu'er before her looked much more mature than she remembered, at least five or six years older than before, and her rare air of heroism was even more pronounced.

However, at this moment, Qiu'er's appearance was rather disheveled.

The dark red chains were tightly bound around her body in a peculiar way. Her ankles were tied together and bound, her wrists were twisted behind her back and locked, then the chains wrapped around her waist and abdomen, finally crossing and tightening above her chest.

This method of restraint is far from simple binding; it carries a certain deliberate, deliberate design.

Under the pressure and entanglement of the chains, the girl's already graceful curves were emphasized to the fullest extent.

Especially the outline of the chains forced out in front of him gave the scene a strange, alluring quality.

This technique... it's obviously not the first time, right?

Wang Dong'er looked at Kong Ming'an with suspicion and uncertainty, her eyes full of questions.

Kong Ming'an casually raised his hand, controlling the chains to secure Qiu'er to the side, and explained in a calm tone:

"Don't look at me like that, your 'friend' is a spy."

"A spy?!" Wang Dong'er looked at Qiu'er again in shock.

Qiu'er was still restrained and unable to move. Facing Wang Dong'er's gaze, Qiu'er unconsciously looked away, avoiding her eyes.

Being caught red-handed deceiving her friend and then brought before him in such an unpleasant manner filled her with a strange sense of shame, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Wang Dong'er pursed her lips, one hand unconsciously clenching in front of her chest. After a slight pause, she stepped forward and looked at Kong Ming'an:

"Could you explain in detail? What exactly happened?"

Kong Ming'an glanced at her and said succinctly, "In short, your friend is a soul beast in human form, and he infiltrated the core area of ​​the Chamber of Commerce with some ulterior motive."

Kong Ming'an waved Qiu'er's little notebook in front of Dong'er.

"A soul beast in human form? And it even infiltrated the merchant guild?" Wang Dong'er blinked; this news shocked her even more than Qiu'er's spy story.

Kongming paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Qiu'er, who was glaring at him resentfully. A smile appeared on his face as he asked:

"I wasn't wrong, was I, Miss Auspicious Beast?"

As he finished speaking, Qiu'er felt her head regain movement. Instinctively, she tried to resist, but to her despair, she found the rest of her body still as hard as stone, unable to move.

Having failed to struggle, she simply gave up the futile resistance, raised her chin, and with a resolute yet inexplicable determination:

"Go ahead and kill me!"

Kong Ming'an shook his head and smiled, "That won't do."

"Hmph!" Qiu'er snorted coldly and turned her head away. "I can't tell you anything!"

Kong Ming'an smiled and nodded, seemingly satisfied with her answer. "Very good, very spirited."

The next moment, Kong Ming'an slowly raised his hand. As his soul power surged, a contract document composed of pure energy, emitting a faint blue light, appeared out of thin air.

With a light tap of his fingertip, a few concise terms were quickly added, and then the contract floated lightly to Qiu'er's feet.

Qiu'er glanced at it subconsciously, but before she could see the details clearly, her right hand involuntarily rose up on its own.

A wisp of soul power and spiritual energy was forcibly extracted from his body, transforming into a golden mark that was precisely imprinted on the signature area of ​​the contract.

Qiu'er: "???"

Forced buying and selling?! Is there no justice left in this world?!

Wang Dong'er, standing to the side, had clear eyes but her mind was full of questions.

Is it possible to force someone to sign a contract like this? Then what happened when she signed the contract before?

Kong Ming'an's smile deepened. He withdrew the contract, as if a pleasant transaction had been completed, and said:

"Once the contract is signed, we're on the same side. So, Miss Rui Beast, tell me, where is that Silver Dragon King?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu'er didn't even think twice, habitually letting out a cold snort before turning her head away.

"How could I possibly tell you that my lord's sister has returned to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire laboratory fell silent for a moment.

Qiu'er was stunned. Suddenly realizing something, she turned her head in alarm to look at Kong Ming'an: "What did I just do?"

Kong Ming'an nodded affirmatively, his tone carrying a hint of a smile: "This is a new product I recently developed, which I call the 'Common Sense Contract,' which involves the spiritual and conscious level."

"One of the terms of the contract was that when I asked you a question, you would subconsciously feel that 'it's only natural to speak your mind,' thus achieving the effect just now."

"What, didn't you read the contract carefully?"

"Do you have a chance to show me?"

Once again, Qiu'er unconsciously voiced her thoughts, her face slightly flushed, probably from the warmth of her cheeks.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had spoken her true thoughts again, and quickly shut her mouth tightly, her pair of glassy red eyes staring intently at Kong Ming'an.

If eye contact could be used to attack, Kong Ming'an would probably have already been bound by Qiu'er using the same method.

Ignoring the angry auspicious beast lady for the time being, from Kong Ming'an's perspective, "Ling Shu" had already compiled information on the auspicious beast lady in front of him and the Dragon King lady who was using the alias "Gu Yue".

Kong Ming'an quickly glanced through it, his expression turning slightly strange.

Having studied diligently for over three years and achieved excellent grades, I am a Level 6 Soul Master. Mingde Hall has extended an invitation to me, and I have already submitted an internship application to the Chamber of Commerce.

Why does this plot feel so strangely familiar?

Could it be that Miss Dragon King is planning to seize power and then secretly rule the entire Douluo Continent by leveraging the resources and network of the Chamber of Commerce?

Good heavens, my guild has become a spirit tower!

Kong Ming'an chuckled slightly, pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze again to Qiu'er, who was struggling to control her thoughts and try to clear her mind so as not to blurt out an answer to his question.

When will the Silver Dragon King return?

Qiu'er bit her lower lip tightly, looked away, and tried to think of something else. However, how could her thoughts be stopped so easily?

Qiu'er's lips parted uncontrollably, and she said clearly, "My lady said that she will return within a month after the academy starts."

As the words fell, Qiu'er's expression grew even more humiliated, yet she was helpless, and could only glare fiercely at Kong Ming'an with her eyes.

Kong Ming'an pondered for a moment, paused, and glanced at the data retrieved from "Ling Shu".

The above shows that Miss Dragon King requested a month-long leave of absence before the end of the last semester, citing "family affairs." Due to her excellent grades, her application was directly approved.

He quickly did the math in his head: from the holiday to the start of school, plus this month, that meant there were still nearly two months left.

"There's plenty of time, that's enough."

Let's transition the plot a bit, and tomorrow we'll naturally introduce the Dragon King's daughter's storyline. Speaking of which, I suddenly think we could write about Qiu'er and Dong'er together, and then have them both wear maid outfits and act as maids.

Then, Dong'er, having arrived first, had basically resigned herself to her fate and obediently put it on. Qiu'er, on the other hand, was proud and resistant to it, but had no choice but to wear it. Then there were scenes of her lifting the hem of her skirt with a look of disgust, or gritting her teeth and closing her eyes to accept it, or watching Dong'er and the main character play together. It feels like the voice acting team could add another person.

P.S.: I get writer's block during normal storylines, but inspiration just keeps flowing when I think of SeSe. I must have something wrong with my brain.

Chapter 175 Plastic Sisterhood

Upon hearing this, Qiu'er frowned deeply:

"What do you want to do to the Lord's sister?!"

Kong Ming'an smiled slightly and asked in return, "Guess?"

Qiu'er instinctively wanted to retort, her mouth opening uncontrollably: "What the hell are you talking about! I will absolutely not let you hurt my lord sister!"

"Don't worry," Kong Ming'an reassured her, "I won't hurt her, I just want to discuss a business deal with her."

He paused, then added, "It's just that this deal might be a little unequal."

Qiu'er couldn't sit still any longer.

Without a doubt, if her body hadn't been restrained at the moment, she would have pounced on him and bitten him to death!

Kong Ming'an remained very calm in the face of Miss Rui's reaction.

He's quite experienced at dealing with his breath, after all, he already has a little scorpion at home that often breathes.

He wasn't in a hurry, calmly staring at his auspicious beast mistress, and chuckled:

"Alright, show me a spirit beast first?"

Qiu'er: "Huh???"

"This is also part of the contract."

Qiu'er: "Fuck you!"

……

……

Soon, several hours passed in the laboratory.

On the sofa, the blonde, red-eyed girl was no longer bound by the dark red chains, but she lay there limply, as if all her bones had been removed, unable to even lift a finger.

There was no other way; for several hours straight, he had to switch between beast and human forms hundreds of times.

Even if this is considered a natural ability for her, the soul power required for form switching is not much.

However, this high-frequency switching still exhausted her soul power. This guy just knows how to exploit her like this, not letting her rest at all!

Qiu'er couldn't help but accuse this bastard of exploitation in her heart.

Kong Ming'an, who was organizing the data, nodded in satisfaction.

As the saying goes, professional matters should indeed be handled by professionals.

While this statement might not be entirely appropriate here, Miss Auspicious Beast possesses exceptional talent in form switching.

The transformation technique he deduced on his own had a relatively high threshold and required a certain level of cultivation from the soul beast.

However, after obtaining a complete sample of Miss Auspicious Beast's form-changing process, he found a direction for optimizing the transformation method.

As expected, the optimized version will significantly lower the barrier to entry, allowing even newly minted ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to attempt transformation.

If we can continue to delve deeper into the research, it may even be possible for thousand-year-old soul beasts to transform into human form. Combined with the Enlightenment Array, the plan to transform soul beasts into humans will undoubtedly proceed much more smoothly.

Of course, in addition to that, he also took the opportunity to observe Miss Ruishou's Golden Dragon Martial Soul in detail, in preparation for future "body cultivation" enhancements.

Yes, the "body cultivator" is about to stand up again!

The objective has been largely achieved, and other necessary information has been obtained from Miss Auspicious Beast. It's time to begin arranging matters related to welcoming the "Dragon King Miss."

Kong Ming'an stood up, about to leave, but after taking only two steps, he paused slightly, his gaze turning to Wang Dong'er, who had quietly watched the entire scene.

Wang Dong'er blinked, her eyes clear.

"During this time, you are responsible for watching over her and making sure she doesn't leave the lab. You are also responsible for arranging her meals and other chores."

Wang Dong'er blinked again, pursed her lips, and hesitated. After all, Qiu'er had been her friend, and it was understandably uncomfortable for her to personally guard her.

However, before Wang Dong'er could convince herself with reasons such as her current status, Kong Ming'an added a sentence.

"If I take care of her, I'll get an extra 10,000 contribution points per month. Is that alright?"

Wang Dong'er was taken aback. She quickly went through the value of the contribution points in her mind, and instantly, her slight reluctance was completely washed away.

Dong'er's expression immediately became extremely serious, and she replied decisively, "Yes! President, I will keep an eye on her!"

Kong Ming'an nodded slightly, said no more, turned and left, the metal door of the laboratory sliding shut silently.

A brief silence fell over the room.

However, the next moment, Qiu'er, who had been slumped on the sofa, suddenly sat up, her movements so agile that she didn't seem exhausted at all.

Her sharp eyes scanned her surroundings, her senses fully activated, and only after confirming several times that the bastard had truly left did she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

She stood up, strode to the laboratory door, and reached out to touch the seemingly smooth, seamless metal door.
