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

A moment later, Gu Yue stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her reflection—dressed impeccably, with a cool and indifferent demeanor, exactly as she always had—and unconsciously breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, after a slight pause, those memories surged up again, and a strange sensation returned to three places: his chest, wrist, and ankle.

A strange sense of humiliation mixed with shame and indignation filled her body, making her feel unwell.

After a while, Gu Yue calmed down, looked at herself in the mirror and returned to normal. Just as Gu Yue was about to leave, she suddenly remembered Qiu'er.

She paused briefly, then opened the Ling Shu network and sent a few messages to someone.

After her expression changed drastically upon receiving the reply, Gu Yue shut down the Ling Shu network. Then, with a flash of silver light, she disappeared from the dormitory.

……

……

Meanwhile, inside the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce laboratory,

Qiu'er continued to stare intently at Kong Ming'an, her golden eyes filled with a hint of wariness and questioning:

"What exactly did you do to our Lady Sister?!"

Kong Ming'an glanced at her, then focused his attention back on the samples of destructive and life divine power flowing in front of him, and replied perfunctorily without looking up:

"Did not do anything."

"Didn't do anything?" Qiu'er frowned, her voice rising slightly. "You're telling me that's what you call not doing anything?! Master's clothes are all ruined! And there are marks all over her body! Is that not doing anything?!"

Kong Ming'an was too lazy to answer, focusing most of his attention on the samples in front of him.

Seeing that Kong Ming'an seemed indifferent, Qiu'er couldn't help but instinctively reach out and grab him to ask him something.

However, the moment she extended a hand, a dark red energy chain silently extended from the spatial ripples beside her, binding her wrist and fixing her in place.

Qiu'er stumbled, turned around to look at the chains that exuded a chilling, demonic aura, and reached out to pull them, but they wouldn't budge.

"No. You dare let me go!"

Qiu'er turned around and breathed on the ground.

Kong Ming'an summoned his two blood-red, 100,000-year spirit rings. While thoughtfully observing the structure of the spirit rings—the samples of Destruction God Power and Life God Power—he casually replied:

"Haven't you already seen whether I'm capable or not?"

Qiu'er paused, realizing she had been too angry and had momentarily forgotten she couldn't beat the other person. If she really attacked, she feared she would be severely bullied and then thrown back onto the bed like a toy, confined to bed for days.

Gritting her teeth, Qiu'er retorted defiantly, "Then tell me, what exactly did you do to my lord sister?!"

"It's just healing," Kong Ming'an stated calmly.

"Healing?! You're telling me that's healing?!"

Qiu'er felt that this guy was blatantly lying, her little face scrunched up in anger, one hand futilely pulling at the chain, the other reaching out to grab Kong Ming'an's clothes, but always just missing.

Kong Ming'an did not answer, his attention temporarily focused on the spirit ring in front of him.

With a flick of his finger, the two originally blood-red spirit rings beside him quickly faded in color, transforming into two semi-transparent spirit ring outlines.

Then, Kong Ming'an guided the energy with his fingertips, separating a strand from each of the two samples of Destruction God Power and Life God Power, and precisely inputting them into the two semi-transparent spirit rings.

In an instant, the two spirit rings shimmered with light and gradually acquired color.

One transformed into a dark purple spirit ring filled with an aura of destruction, while the other transformed into an emerald green spirit ring brimming with life force.

He thoughtfully overlapped the two spirit rings, feeling the mutual repulsion yet subtle balance between them. A thoughtful expression flashed in Kong Ming'an's eyes.

It seems like it has potential?

Thinking this, Kong Ming'an turned his attention back to Qiu'er: "I really didn't do anything to her, I just helped her heal her injuries. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself."

Qiu'er paused,

If she could find out the answer by asking him, then why would she come looking for him?

After a slight pause, Qiu'er asked, "Then what exactly is the content of the contract you signed with the Lord?"

Kong Ming'an answered as Miss Dragon King requested:

"It's just an equal contract."

The protagonist says to Qiu'er: You don't want your lord sister to be bullied, do you?

The protagonist says to Gu Yue: You don't want your respected and relied-upon juniors to be bullied, do you?

P.S.: It's weird, but strangely interesting. Can you guess whether Qiu'er or Gu Yue will join first, and then who will join the Listening Group?

Chapter 199 Qiu'er: I want to sign a contract with you!

Kong Ming'an answered Qiu'er's question softly, but his eyes were glancing at the information popping up on the "Ling Shu Network" out of the corner of his eye.

That was sent by Miss Dragon King.

"Gu Yue": Don't tell Qiu'er about what happened between us.

More than ten seconds later, another message came in.

"Gu Yue": I'll let you arrange things next time.

Clearly, Miss Dragon King really didn't want Qiu'er to know any inside information, so after a brief hesitation, Kong Ming'an replied.

Kong Ming'an: Change your clothes next time?

The other party responded almost instantly.

"Gu Yue": Sure, what kind of clothes?

"Kong Ming'an": [image.jpg]

The other party was silent for two seconds before replying to the message.

"Gu Yue": Okay.

Kong Ming'an's eyes flickered slightly; he was beginning to wonder where the Dragon King's bottom line lay.

This almost unwavering compliance, on the contrary, fueled his impulse to test the Dragon King's bottom line.

After thinking for a moment, and seeing Qiu'er's still unconvinced expression, Kong Ming'an dutifully added:

"The contract details the cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as the addition of many clauses. It can be considered a refinement and deepening of the previous draft."

Qiu'er remained silent, repeating the same point: "My lord sister is in such a state, and you're telling me it was just a simple cooperation agreement?"

Wait a minute, Qiu'er suddenly paused, as if she had grasped some key point.

That's right, it might just be a problem with the contract!

She remembered that Wang Dong'er had mentioned that the contract she signed was almost a contract of servitude. Could it be that her master sister had also signed some kind of contract with huge sacrifices for the sake of the Star Dou Great Forest?

Her thoughts cleared instantly. After a brief hesitation, a determined light flashed in Qiu'er's eyes as she looked up and stared directly at Kong Ming'an:

"I want to sign a contract with you!"

Kong Ming'an: "???"

Kong Ming'an paused, looked at Qiu'er, and his expression became strange.

Why do they all like signing contracts so much?

Kong Ming'an couldn't help but complain, but he also became somewhat interested. He temporarily put away the two special spirit rings in front of him and asked:

What kind of contract do you want to sign?

Qiu'er's tone was resolute: "The contract I want to sign is that no matter what price my sister paid for signing the contract with you, everything afterward will be transferred to me! I will pay for her!"

The girl's red eyes were fixed on Kong Ming'an, her gaze earnest and stubborn.

Kong Ming'an paused, then chuckled and shook his head:

"I don't understand you."

"You absolutely understand what I mean!"

"not understand."

"You understand!" Qiu'er refused to budge an inch.

"My Lady Sister must have made some kind of deal with you! And she must have paid some kind of price! I don't know what the price was, but whatever the price was, I give it to you on behalf of My Lady Sister!"

Seeing the girl's stubborn and determined expression, Kong Ming'an raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but still said the same thing.

"The contract I signed with her was truly just an equal agreement."

He had no reason to break the contract. Moreover, compared to the allure of the Dragon King, the Auspicious Beast was quite ordinary, in every way.

Qiu'er stared intently at him, pursed her lips as if hesitating, and then the next moment, she raised her hand and gently touched her brow.

In an instant, a vertical pupil, imbued with a rich aura of destiny and seemingly capable of seeing the trajectory of all things in the world, slowly opened before her forehead.

“This is my third eye,”

Qiu'er looked at Kong Ming'an seriously, her tone resolute, "I can use my third eye to guide others through destiny, granting them a special ability that is probably related to destiny. As long as you sign a contract with me, I will give it to you!"

The ability to determine fate that her third eye granted her was what she considered her most valuable asset.

At this moment, she uses this as a bargaining chip.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Ming'an's eyes.

He was naturally aware of Miss Auspicious Beast's third eye. In the original story, Huo Yuhao obtained the Eye of Destiny by connecting with it and fusing its power with the Eye of Life.

Later, after the other party achieved godhood, the Eye of Destiny also transformed into a divine artifact.

It has to be said, it's very tempting; that ability to glimpse fate is indeed fascinating, but...

"It really is just an equal contract."

Kong Ming'an spoke up again,

He already had quite a few things, so there was no need to covet more. Of course, the main reason was that Miss Ruishou was right there; if he really wanted something, it wouldn't be difficult.

He doesn't need to rush, nor does he need to use this method.

Qiu'er frowned. The more the other party refused, the more she felt that something was amiss! But if the other party didn't even want the bargaining chip of destiny's guidance, what else could she offer besides that?

She fell into deep thought, but she had already made up her mind that she would never let this bastard continue to "bully" her master, no matter what the cost!

After thinking it over and over, Qiu'er suddenly looked up and asked another question:

Do you need someone around you?

"Ok?"

Kong Ming'an slowly typed out a "".

……

……

On the other side, in the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, at the shore of the Lake of Life...

A silver light suddenly appeared, and the girl's figure slowly emerged.

"Lord."

The waiting spirit beasts immediately came forward respectfully.

Gu Yue nodded slightly, her face displaying the indifference and majesty befitting a ruler of soul beasts, showing none of the pathetic state she had displayed when she was held down and struggling in the laboratory.

She looked at the surrounding group of soul beasts and spoke loudly:

“I have reached an agreement with that successor of the God-King. In a while, a representative from the Chamber of Commerce will come to make contact, and you will be responsible for the liaison.”

The voice clearly reached the ears of every soul beast present. Upon hearing it, all the soul beasts were taken aback, and then their faces showed surprise.

The Lord has only been gone for a few days, yet the results have come so quickly?

Seeing the surprised and uncertain looks on his subordinates' faces, Gu Yue exuded the natural pressure of a soul beast overlord, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty:

"Rest assured, it's an equal cooperation agreement. The Star Dou Great Forest and the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce will be partners in the future."

"Furthermore, the successor of the God King has signed a contract with me, guaranteeing that even if there are differences in our ideologies in the future, he will find an independent plane for our soul beast race as a place to live."

She paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over the beasts, and said, word by word, "I have already grasped the future for the Soul Beast race."

As soon as the words were spoken, the lakeside fell silent. Then, an irrepressible excitement and exhilaration spread among the spirit beasts.

The soul beasts trusted the Dragon King, their sovereign, completely trusting her without a doubt.
