Kong Mingan softly answered Qiu'er's question, but the corner of his eye was looking at the message popping up on the "Spiritual Pivot Network."
That was sent by the Young Miss Dragon King.
"Gu Yue": Don't tell Qiu'er about what happened between us.
After a gap of more than ten seconds, another message was sent.
"Gu Yue": Next time, I'll let you decide.
Obviously, the Young Miss Dragon King truly didn't want Qiu'er to know any inside information, so after a brief hesitation, Kong Mingan replied.
"Kong Mingan": Change clothes next time?
The other party replied almost instantly.
"Gu Yue": Alright, what kind of clothes?
"Kong Mingan": [Image.jpg]
The other party was silent for two seconds before replying.
"Gu Yue": Fine.
Kong Mingan's gaze flickered slightly. He was starting to wonder where the psychological bottom line of the Young Miss Dragon King actually lay.
This nearly immediate obedience, conversely, fueled his impulse to test the Young Miss Dragon King's limits.
After thinking for a moment and looking at Qiu'er, who still wore a look of disbelief, Kong Mingan dutifully added:
"The contract's content includes the detailed rules for cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as the addition of various clauses. It is considered the refinement and deepening of the previous preliminary draft."
Qiu'er remained silent. It was still the same point: Her Lord Sister ended up like that, and he was telling her they only signed a simple cooperation contract?
Wait, no, hold on. Qiu'er suddenly paused, as if grasping something crucial.
That's right, maybe it was the contract issue!
She recalled Wang Dong'er mentioning that the contract she signed was practically a bond of servitude. Could it be that her Lord Sister, for the sake of the Star Dou Great Forest, also signed a contract involving huge sacrifices?
Her thoughts instantly cleared. After a brief hesitation, a determined light flashed in Qiu'er's eyes, and she looked up directly at Kong Mingan:
"I want to sign a contract with you!"
Kong Mingan: "???"
Kong Mingan froze, looking at Qiu'er, his expression turning strange.
Why is everyone so fond of signing contracts?
Kong Mingan couldn't help but complain, but he also grew somewhat interested. Temporarily putting away the two special spirit rings in front of him, Kong Mingan 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 Lord Sister paid when she signed a contract with you, everything subsequent must be transferred onto me! I will pay for her!"
The young girl's red eyes stared intently at Kong Mingan, her gaze serious and stubborn.
Kong Mingan paused, then lightly shook his head with a laugh:
"I don't understand what you mean."
"You absolutely understand what I mean!"
"I don't understand."
"You do understand!" Qiu'er refused to back down.
"Lord Sister must have reached some kind of deal with you! And she must have paid some kind of price! I don't know what the price is, but no matter what it is, I will pay it to you on behalf of Lord Sister!"
Looking at the girl's stubborn and resolute appearance, Kong Mingan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, but still said the same thing:
"The contract I signed with her really is just an equal contract."
He had no need to violate the contract. Furthermore, compared to the allure of the Young Miss Dragon King, Miss Auspicious Beast seemed quite ordinary—in all aspects, ordinary.
Qiu'er stared intently at him, pursing her lips as if hesitating. The next moment, she raised her hand and lightly tapped her glabella.
In an instant, a vertical pupil phantom, imbued with rich destiny Qi and seemingly able to glimpse the trajectories of all things in the world, slowly opened on her forehead.
"This is my third eye,"
Qiu'er looked seriously at Kong Mingan, her tone carrying a hint of determination, "I can use my third eye to perform a Destiny Connection with others, granting them some special ability generally related to destiny. If you sign a contract with me, I will give it to you!"
The destiny-related ability brought by her third eye was what she considered the most valuable thing about herself.
And now, she was using it as a bargaining chip.
A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Mingan's eyes.
He naturally knew about Miss Auspicious Beast's third eye. In the original work, it was precisely by connecting with it that Huo Yuhao, after Fusion of its power with the Eye of Life, obtained the Eye of Destiny.
Later, after the other party achieved Divinity, the Eye of Destiny also transformed into a Divine Artifact.
It must be said, this was very tempting. The ability to glimpse destiny was indeed very interesting, but—
"It really is just an equal contract."
Kong Mingan said this once again.
He currently had quite a lot on his hands and saw no need to covet more. Of course, the main reason was that Miss Auspicious Beast was right here. If he truly wanted it, it wouldn't be difficult.
He didn't need to rush, nor did he need to use this method.
Qiu'er frowned deeply. The more the other party refused, the more she felt something was suspicious! But if he didn't even want a bargaining chip like the Destiny Connection, what else could she offer?
She fell into contemplation, but her heart was already set: she absolutely could not let this scoundrel continue to "bully" Lord Sister, no matter the cost!
After thinking and thinking, Qiu'er suddenly looked up and asked another question:
"Are you lacking people by your side?"
"Hmm?"
Kong Mingan slowly typed out an "..." Meanwhile, in the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, by the Lake of Life,
A silver light suddenly appeared, and the girl's figure slowly materialized.
"My Lord."
The Spirit Beasts waiting there immediately approached respectfully.
Gu Yue nodded slightly, her face bearing the indifference and majesty belonging to the Beast Co-ruler, showing none of the distressed state she was in when she was desperately pinned down in the laboratory.
Looking at the Spirit Beasts gathered around her, she spoke in a clear voice:
"I have already reached an agreement with that God KingLegacy holder. In a while, representatives from the Chamber of Commerce will come to make contact, and you all will be responsible for the liaison."
The sound clearly entered the ears of every Spirit Beast present. Hearing this, the Spirit Beasts were all stunned, then showed expressions of surprise.
Lord had only been gone for a few days, yet there was such a rapid result?
Observing the uncertain expressions of her subordinates, the natural pressure of the Beast Co-ruler emanating from Gu Yue spread out, and her tone carried an undeniable certainty:
"Rest assured, it is an equal cooperation contract. The Star Dou Great Forest and the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce will be partners in the future."
"Furthermore, that God King successor has already signed a contract with me, guaranteeing that even if the two parties have ideological differences in the future, he will find an independent plane for our Spirit Beast race to inhabit."
She paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over the beasts, and said word by word, "I have secured the future for the Spirit Beast race."
As her voice fell, the lakeside was silent. Immediately afterward, uncontrollable excitement and agitation spread among the Spirit Beasts.
The Spirit Beasts highly trusted the Young Miss Dragon King, their Beast Co-ruler, and had no doubt about her words.
For them, the survival crisis that had plagued the Spirit Beast race for countless years had now welcomed a bright future!
Gu Yue watched the hope displayed on their faces, her gaze flickering slightly, and the slightly wavering thoughts in her heart were completely solidified into determination.
She said no more, turned, and walked step by step into the deep Lake of Life behind her, her figure slowly being swallowed by the lake water.
She needed to use the gold of life at the bottom of the lake to quickly compensate for the physical weakness brought on by the end of her healing, and then follow the command that man gave her before leaving: begin transforming into human form.
As long as she did not violate the contract, the Spirit Beast race would not face any problems.
And as long as the Spirit Beast race was fine, she didn't care what he did to her.
It was merely a necessary sacrifice.
