Miss Dragon King finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He understood immediately, then looked at the still angry Hyotei, extended his hand, and extended an invitation:
"Come back with me?"
Hyotei turned her head, her eyes still showing a hint of disdain, and didn't say anything, but her body still honestly placed itself in his palm.
Kong Ming'an nodded, and the next moment, ripples spread through the space, and the two figures disappeared from the "Order God Kingdom".
Chapter 192 Miss Dragon King: I want to sign a contract with you!
Sun and Moon Empire, Kong Family Chamber of Commerce, a quiet meeting room.
After sending the message, Wang Dong'er turned her attention back to the Ling Shu network.
Qiu'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Has the message been sent out?"
Wang Dong'er nodded: "Yes, the president should come back as soon as he sees it."
Upon hearing this, Qiu'er calmed down slightly, but she still couldn't help but glance at the black-haired, black-eyed girl with a cool and aloof demeanor not far away.
There, Gu Yue closed his eyes to rest, seemingly oblivious to the conversation around him, creating a somewhat stagnant atmosphere.
Looking at Gu Yue like this, Qiu'er felt that something was very wrong.
Admittedly, my master's older sister has always been aloof and rarely speaks.
But this was the first time she had ever seen someone so completely silent, as if suppressing all their emotions.
A strange sense of unease washed over her. She wanted to do something to break the awkward atmosphere, but she had no idea what to do.
Time passed slowly, and at a certain moment, a familiar ripple spread through the room.
Two figures stepped out one after the other; it was Kong Ming'an and Hyotei.
Wang Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully said, "President."
Qiu'er subconsciously took a half step back, her golden eyes filled with wariness, especially when she looked at Kong Ming'an.
Meanwhile, Gu Yue, who had kept her eyes closed the whole time, opened them at that moment. Her gaze fell on Kong Ming'an, and she paused slightly involuntarily.
He's gotten even stronger.
Gu Yue quickly came to a conclusion.
This boy has made progress again, and not just a little, but a qualitative transformation.
But... how long has it been? It's only been a few months, right? And you've already made progress again?
Gu Yue's mood was somewhat heavy. Her gaze swept over Hyotei beside Kong Ming'an, then paused again.
Without a doubt, even the Ice Emperor's aura was much stronger than before. Now, in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, besides herself, perhaps only Di Tian could suppress her.
If we exclude her, the opponent's apparent combat strength seems capable of wiping out the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
As Gu Yue's thoughts raced, Kong Ming'an naturally sat down opposite Gu Yue with Bingdi, and then got straight to the point:
"Miss Gu Yue has figured it out?"
Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then looked directly into Kong Ming'an's eyes and said in a cold voice, "I want to talk to you alone."
Kong Ming'an was slightly surprised, but still nodded and looked at Wang Dong'er beside him: "Dong'er, you go out first."
Wang Dong'er nodded and immediately left.
But then, Gu Yue's gaze turned to Hyotei: "She needs to leave too."
Hyotei frowned and retorted without hesitation, "Why should I?"
Gu Yue didn't look at Hyotei, but stared at Kong Ming'an, her attitude unusually clear.
Kong Ming'an remained calm, but suddenly reached out and naturally wrapped his arm around Hyotei's slender waist, gently pulling her close until she was almost pressed against him.
Then, he looked at Gu Yue and said calmly, "She doesn't need to go out."
Gu Yue looked at the two embracing each other, unconsciously frowned slightly, and fell into a silence.
Hyotei remained silent, feeling the hand encircling her waist, her body involuntarily stiffening slightly.
What on earth is this guy doing?! He's definitely not going to miss any opportunity to take advantage of her?!
Hyotei felt inexplicably uncomfortable and instinctively wanted to move the restless hand away. However, sensing Kogetsu's gaze ahead, Hyotei ultimately didn't move.
If it were just her and this bastard, it wouldn't matter; they could do whatever they wanted. But there were other people around.
Hyotei's mind was in a mess, but her expression remained cold. She just stood there motionless, letting Kongming An hold her, looking as if it were the most natural thing in the world and she didn't care at all.
After a long while, Gu Yue seemed to come back to her senses, took a deep breath, and spoke again:
"She has to go out."
His tone left no room for argument, and Kong Ming'an frowned slightly.
This attitude
Kong Ming'an had no intention of continuing the discussion; after all, he wasn't the one in a hurry.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, the next moment, Hyotei suddenly stood up and broke free from his arm.
Then, with a cold face, without even looking at Kong Ming'an, she coldly uttered:
"I am going out."
Then, she quickly left the room.
Kong Ming'an: "..."
He suddenly felt he had to find an opportunity to corner Hyotei in her room and not give her any chance to escape.
After a brief pause, Kong Ming'an looked at Gu Yue again: "Can you speak now?"
Gu Yue turned her gaze to Qiu'er, who was still in the room, and said, "Qiu'er, you should go out too."
Qiu'er blinked, pointing at herself in surprise: "Me?"
Gu Yue remained calm and repeated, "You go out too."
Qiu'er opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but under Gu Yue's unquestionable gaze, she ultimately swallowed her words.
Qiu'er nodded silently, glanced at Gu Yue with concern, and then turned and left the room.
At this moment, only Kong Ming'an and Gu Yue remained in the room.
Kong Ming'an looked at Gu Yue, his tone slightly helpless: "So, can you talk now?"
As if she had made up her mind, Gu Yue took a deep breath and calmly asked, "I want to know, how did you manage to reach that cooperative relationship with the Far North? What kind of deal did you make with the Far North?"
Kong Ming'an was somewhat surprised, but he did not hide anything and answered directly: "In short, I initially signed a contract with the Snow Empress. She paid a price in exchange for my future protection of the people of the far north."
Gu Yue pressed further: "Only one contract was signed?"
Kong Ming'an nodded: "Only one copy was signed."
"What price?"
"Everything about her." Kong Ming'an said calmly.
Gu Yue paused slightly, her gaze freezing: "...What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says," Kong Ming'an explained calmly and clearly.
"The Snow Empress gave me everything of herself—her body, soul, power, and everything else she possessed."
"In exchange for this, I will grant you my future protection of the far north."
Gu Yue was completely stunned, and the words that Xue Di had said before leaving last time instantly flashed through her mind.
Everything I have belongs to him.
Is that what it meant?
An indescribable emotion welled up within her. How could the Lord of the Far North go to such lengths for the sake of his people?
Compared to her past ambiguous attitude towards the soul beast race, Gu Yue fell into a kind of silence.
Kong Ming'an looked at her calmly, not in a hurry, and waited silently.
After the appearance of the "Divine Kingdom of Order" and the "Tree of Billions of Silver Radiance," the threat posed by the Dragon King to him was greatly reduced, and he was no longer worried about her threat.
In short, he's got her wrapped around his little finger.
Time flowed slowly by, and at a certain moment, Gu Yue suddenly raised her head, a resolute glint in her dark, jade-like eyes.
"I want to sign a contract, the contents of which are the same as Xue Di's."
His voice was cold and his words were resolute, a desperate gamble.
I apologize for this, but when I was writing about Wang Dong'er's impoverished noblewoman story, I suddenly realized it didn't quite fit. Then I discovered, hey! Miss Dragon King is a much better fit! In fact, compared to Dong'er, Miss Dragon King is even more interesting to play. I'll also write about her story alongside Qiu'er's.
The aloof Dragon King's daughter willingly sold herself to the protagonist for the sake of her clan, agreeing to all his demands, but ultimately gradually fell into depravity.
Seeing her lord sister sacrifice herself for the people, Qiu'er took the initiative to find the protagonist, wanting to pay the price in place of her lord sister.
P.S.: Why do I get so many inspirations every time I write about Se Se?
Chapter 193 Miss Dragon King: Don't tell Qiu'er
Kong Ming'an was somewhat surprised. He paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Yue and confirmed:
"you sure?"
"I am sure."
Gu Yue answered without hesitation.
No matter the cost, she must protect the soul beast race. This is a responsibility she should have taken on long ago; now, she is merely making amends.
Kong Ming'an nodded and said no more.
He raised his hand, and the dazzling silver spirit ring beside him appeared.
This is not his original "Spiritual Pivot," but a projection of the "Order God Kingdom."
Although the "Divine Kingdom of Order" can be carried around, it is still not as practical as placing it outside the plane to draw energy from the universe.
In any case, remote connection does not affect usage. Even if something unexpected happens, he can recall the "Order God Kingdom" at any time. Whether it is projected or not makes basically no difference.
Gu Yue's gaze was drawn to the silver spirit ring; her innate talent allowed her to vaguely glimpse its true nature.
It does not exist independently, but is a projection of something else.
Instinctively, her mind began to trace back along some connection, her consciousness was drawn and elevated, and at a certain moment, she saw a special space suspended in the universe.
A colossal, towering silver tree stood within, its branches flowing with a vast galaxy of data, while a massive halo radiating a soft, silvery glow surrounded it.
The image appeared clearly, but in the next moment, an unimaginably vast torrent of information surged forth from her probing consciousness.
Like a galaxy pouring down, a massive flow of information instantly flooded her mind.
"Well"
Gu Yue let out a muffled groan, instinctively severing the sensory connection. Her consciousness wavered for a moment, then quickly returned to clarity.
She looked at Kong Ming'an with surprise and uncertainty, and couldn't help but speak:
"What was that just now?"
Kong Ming'an remained calm:
"It's nothing more than my spirit ring."
Gu Yue's pupils contracted slightly.
Are you kidding me? That's a spirit ring? What kind of spirit ring looks like that?!
Gu Yue frowned slightly, feeling that Kong Ming'an was not telling her the truth and was just giving her a perfunctory answer.
Kong Ming'an offered no explanation, but silently began to mobilize the power of the "Spiritual Pivot" and the "Billion Silver Radiance Tree" within the "Order God Kingdom," working on forging a contract while pondering everything that had just happened.
Clearly, the direct onslaught of information is far less effective for beings of god-like status, such as the Dragon King.
However, it's still very useful for crushing noobs.
A moment later, a contract emitting a faint silver glow materialized and took shape. Kong Ming'an pushed it in front of Gu Yue.
