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

Wang Dong'er paused.

No, are you leaving now?

She hasn't said anything yet!

Wang Dong'er had completely missed this strange turn of events, having spent six whole days preparing her draft.

However, upon seeing the gray door that appeared out of nowhere, Wang Dong'er hesitated for a moment before resolutely chasing after it, stepping through the door, and disappearing from sight as well.

Chapter 156 When did you turn people into this?

The gray light faded from my eyes, and the feeling of solid ground beneath my feet returned.

Wang Dong'er subconsciously glanced around, her pupils involuntarily contracting slightly.

The surrounding environment had changed; he found himself in a huge, silver-gray metallic plaza.

Looking up, I didn't see the familiar sky, but rather a dome radiating a soft light.

She was surrounded by towering buildings, their style simple and austere. Countless steel structures she had never seen before darted through the air along fixed tracks.

In the distance, people dressed in the uniforms of the Unified Chamber of Commerce hurried between the buildings, exuding a strange sense of efficiency and technological sophistication.

Furthermore, the soul guidance technology here even surpasses what she has seen in the academy!

"here."

Wang Dong'er was somewhat shocked. Had the technology of the Sun Moon Empire developed to such an extent?

Unfortunately, Wang Dong'er didn't have much time to be surprised. Kong Ming'an and Meng Hongchen had already started walking forward, seemingly unconcerned whether she could keep up.

With no other option, Wang Dong'er could only suppress her shock and quickly catch up.

Following the street forward, the group soon arrived in front of a huge, semi-circular domed building.

The metal door slid open silently, revealing the interior.

There, in a spacious area, were numerous sophisticated soul-guiding instruments. In the center of the space, two figures sat on two specially made metal chairs, their bodies connected to several transparent tubes.

Meanwhile, several staff members dressed in white robes were performing routine blood draws on the two mythical beasts.

As the metal door opened, the two people on the chairs noticed Kong Ming'an entering and were about to greet him when their gazes suddenly fixed on the blue and pink figure behind Kong Ming'an, who was staring at them blankly and whose body was trembling slightly.

Wang Dong'er's lips trembled slightly, her eyes instantly reddened, and crystal tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. Her voice was filled with an uncontrollable sob and grievance:

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle"

"Xiao Dong'er?! What are you doing here?" Er Ming suddenly stood up, his face filled with anxiety. "You didn't try to assassinate him too, did you?!"

Da Ming's expression changed, and he slapped Er Ming on the back of the head to shut him up. Then, he looked at Kong Ming'an with a respectful and solemn tone:

"Mr. Kong, this..."

Kong Ming'an waved his hand, interrupting Da Ming's words. His gaze was calm, but he was too lazy to explain. He simply said in a flat tone:

"I'll give you an hour's break. Explain the situation to her yourselves, and then have her come see me in an hour."

Da Ming hesitated, not daring to refute, and nodded, bowing, saying, "Yes."

Having received a reply, Kong Ming'an did not linger. He and Meng Hongchen turned and left the building, leaving behind an emotionally agitated Wang Dong'er and the conflicted Da Ming and Er Ming to deal with what happened next.

……

……

Walking down the cool-toned corridor, Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned closer, and spoke with a hint of suspicion in her voice:

"Are you sure you're not playing hard to get? I think that girl was almost shattered just now."

Kong Ming'an took her hand and said calmly, "It's just more efficient this way."

Rather than him going to great lengths to explain, it would be better for Da Ming and Er Ming to tell Wang Dong'er themselves about their failed assassination attempt, their capture, and their current situation of "working to pay off debts."

This is undoubtedly more convincing and will help Wang Dong'er see reality more clearly.

A moment later, the two arrived at a simply furnished office.

Kong Ming'an sat down on the sofa, took out a soul-guided tablet, connected it to the "Spiritual Pivot Network," and began to organize the introductory outline of the "Weapon Cultivation" system.

Meng Hongchen lazily kicked off her shoes and comfortably lay down on the sofa next to her, her slender feet, covered in sheer white silk, naturally resting on Kong Ming'an's lap.

After briefly disrupting Kong Ming'an's thoughts, Meng Hongchen reconnected to the "Ling Shu Network" with satisfaction and began handling some of the Chamber of Commerce's daily affairs in Mingdu.

The two were busy with their own things, not disturbing each other, and a tacit and harmonious atmosphere filled the air.

An hour passed quickly.

At one moment, the door was gently pushed open.

The blue and pink figure reappeared; Wang Dong'er walked in with her head down.

At this moment, the girl's beautiful blue-pink eyes were noticeably red and swollen, as if she had just been crying. Her gaze was somewhat vacant, and her aura carried a sense of resigned despair, like a delicate but soulless doll.

The two people in the room simultaneously turned their gazes to her.

An inexplicable pressure descended with the gaze, and Wang Dong'er gripped her skirt tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, suppressing her turbulent emotions, and tried to make her voice sound steady, but it was still hoarse:

"Thank you."

Kong Ming'an became somewhat interested, put away his tablet, and looked at her: "Are you thanking me?"

Wang Dong'er raised her head, met his gaze, then quickly lowered it again, and whispered, "Thank you for not killing my eldest and second fathers."

She already knew the whole story from Da Ming and Er Ming: they had attacked the other side first, but were outmatched and were ultimately suppressed and captured.

The fact that the other party didn't kill their uncles on the spot, but instead gave them a chance to "atone for their sins" through work, was already a great act of mercy.

She had no reason to blame the other party.

On the contrary, both morally and logically, she should say thank you.

However, after thanking her, a deeper sense of powerlessness welled up inside her. She gripped her skirt tightly, her body trembling slightly, but in the next moment, her knees buckled, and she knelt directly on the ground.

"Can you... let them go? I... beg you."

His pleading words carried a hint of humility. For this once proud young master of the Haotian Sect to go to such lengths required an immense amount of resolve.

Even though her two uncles told her that they were safe and that she didn't need to worry, how could she really not care?

Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and looked at Kong Ming'an with great interest. She poked Kong Ming'an with her foot, anticipating his answer.

Kong Ming'an glanced helplessly at Miss Meng, who was acting as the amusement provider, then shook his head and said in denial:

"No."

Wang Dong'er's eyes instantly dimmed, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes again.

But the next moment, she suppressed her emotions, as if she had made some kind of decision, her voice filled with determination:

"I'm willing to give anything; I'll do anything you ask."

Kong Ming'an unconsciously raised an eyebrow, feeling that the sentence sounded familiar. It seemed to be the same when he signed the contract with Xue Di before.

Meanwhile, he received a private message from Meng Hongchen on the "Ling Shu Network":

"When did you arrange things like this?"

Kong Ming'an: "..."

Chapter 157 Wang Dong'er's Awakened Memories

Kong Ming'an glanced at Miss Meng, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and remained silent for a moment.

He shook his head, pressed down Miss Meng's mischievous foot with one hand, and then said to Wang Dong'er, who was kneeling on the ground:

"Don't overthink it. I like fair trades, so I'll give you a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sent a document to Wang Dong'er's authorized account via the "Ling Shu Network."

Wang Dong'er was taken aback, and subconsciously opened her account to check. The contents of the file came into view.

The document is divided into two parts. The first part is an exceptionally detailed price list, which lists the enormous amount of contribution points required for Da Ming and Er Ming to "restore their freedom."

The latter part is a "personal assistant contract".

Once she signs the contract, she will become the personal assistant of the person in front of her, gain level three access to the "Ling Shu Network", unlock the Chamber of Commerce mission module, and earn contribution points by completing Chamber of Commerce missions.

She perked up, looked at it carefully, and found that the contract seemed quite fair.

There are breaks, bonuses, and even various benefits for employees of the chamber of commerce. It seems like a normal employee contract.

But soon, Wang Dong'er noticed something was wrong. In addition to some normal tasks, there were also some abnormal ones in her personal assistant's work, such as assisting with experiments once a month.

Wang Dong'er considered some bad possibilities. She glanced at the silver-haired girl on the sofa and the one next to the boy who was being intimate with him, and her heart immediately turned cold.

It wasn't that the other party didn't want to attack her, but rather that there were other people around?

Upon realizing this possibility, Wang Dong'er's eyes dimmed completely.

However, she didn't hesitate much. With a thought, she resignedly signed her name on the contract with the "Spiritual Pivot Network."

After a moment of silence, she stood up unsteadily, looked up at Kong Ming'an, and said in a somewhat numb voice:

When will my work begin?

"In a little while," Kong Ming'an replied, "but before that, I need you to prepare."

Tang San is about to acquire a spirit ring in the lower realm and advance to the Spirit Master level. According to the setup of the Divine Trial, a new Divine Trial will begin after Tang San advances to the Spirit Master level.

To ensure nothing goes wrong, he needs to use Wang Dong'er's Sea God Martial Soul to tamper with the Divine Trial again.

Of course, after resting for so long, Wang Dong'er's soul should have stabilized by now, following her last "soul surgery." It's time to address other issues related to her soul.

Wang Dong'er's body trembled. She glanced at the silver-haired girl beside her out of the corner of her eye, her hands unconsciously clenching again, her voice trembling slightly:

"Together?"

"Correct."

Kong Ming'an answered casually, his attention focused on the "Spiritual Pivot Network," currently learning about the unsealing of the soul.

Wang Dong'er froze instantly, lowered her head, and her eyes were completely overwhelmed by despair.

She thought she'd have a few days to mentally prepare, but it's already so soon? And she'll be with that girl next to her?

At that moment, she felt like a toy about to be unpacked, carelessly played with, and utterly devoid of dignity.

Wang Dong'er was slightly dazed, but Kong Ming'an had already stood up and come to her.

Wang Dong'er resignedly raised her head, meeting the boy's deep eyes. Her heart sank, but she still managed to console herself.

At least this person isn't ugly, so he won't make me feel disgusted?

Thinking this, she closed her eyes.

However, the expected touch did not come; instead, a warm, moist sensation came from between my eyebrows.

Wang Dong'er was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

What's this new way to play?

However, before she could think about it further, at a certain moment, a crisp sound, like a lock being opened, echoed in her mind.

Then, an overwhelming and irresistible torrent of information burst through her consciousness like a dam breaking, completely engulfing her!

Long-buried memories have awakened.

Countless images flashed through her mind. She saw a dignified man with long blue hair, whom she instinctively called "Father."

She saw a woman with a gentle face who was full of love for her, and she called her "Mother".

There were others too. For example, the beautiful woman who gently kissed her forehead, bestowing upon her the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul with a blessing.

A beautiful auntie with lovely emerald green eyes who loved to hold and play with her, and many other kind uncles and aunties who were also very kind to her.

That was a carefree memory, a time in a realm called "the realm of gods," where she was pampered and cherished; everything was so beautiful and blissful.

However, until the end of memory

The image suddenly distorted and turned cold!

She overheard her parents' conversation and learned about the world called Douluo.
