The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1279 This is clearly a dream job!!!

The things the people in the private room said also confirmed some things.

The Mei family must be well aware that if no one knows about the token they possess, it will be fine, but once it is known, even though they are the local bigwigs of Mei City, they will suffer a great blow.

It seems that the previous ambush and attack were most likely due to someone in the Mei family leaking the information.

Fortunately, Yunran initially genuinely believed that the Mei family was truly sincere in their efforts to save their Fifth Elder.

So, they just casually passed on a hot potato that was a real problem for the Mei family.

Yunran's bid disrupted many people's original plans, yet miraculously balanced this series of chaos.

As the hammer fell, Long Ling even glanced at Yun Ran with a somewhat blank expression, seemingly not expecting it to be won so quickly.

"It's over so easily?"

As he said this, Long Ling even reached his hand onto the table next to him, which was full of things he had taken out to support Yun Ran.

I initially thought this would be a fierce battle without bloodshed, but Yun Ran only made her move before her opponent surrendered. Sigh~
Even though we knew from the beginning that they would definitely win, now that they've won, it's really not a pleasant feeling at all.

Long Ling seemed listless and completely lacked any excitement.

The nine-headed beast raised its nine heads high, clearly confident that it could easily crush everyone this time.

It was simply because his remnant soul, that of an ancient ferocious beast, was so powerful that it made others feel ashamed of themselves.

As if remembering something, the nine-headed beast split off another head and looked at Yun Ran: "You don't really intend for me to form a hundred-year contract with this Divine Sword Manor, do you?"

He was a man who longed for freedom. If Yun Ran hadn't threatened him with freedom, he would never have become Yun Ran's dog.

Yun Ran immediately looked at the nine-headed beast with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Have you really been sealed away for too long and forgotten how to act like a boss?"

Nine-Headed Beast: ...

Has he forgotten how to act like a boss? It's clear that Yun Ran was too ruthless before, which made him underestimate the strength of humans now.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Yun Ran's words were essentially telling him that even if he had made a contract with this lousy Divine Sword Manor, he could still outwardly comply but inwardly defy it; after all, he was the one who made the rules.

Having obtained both the small cauldron and the fragments of the Heavenly Book, Yun Ran stood up immediately: "Pack your things, and once we have them, we'll be leaving."

She needed to leave before the others were ready.

To avoid another fierce battle, even if we could win, it would still be very troublesome.

Long Ling's eyes clearly showed that he was still not satisfied; he hadn't had enough yet, and now he was leaving.

"Aren't you going to check what other items are up for auction?"

"There's nothing to see here, and besides, other things aren't worth the extra effort I'm willing to pay."

Long Ling could only stand up reluctantly. Although he was also a contrarian, he knew exactly what he should and shouldn't do at any given time.

Yun Ran raised her hand and released three small fire spirits, which she handed directly to the nine-headed beast.

"As long as you don't cause trouble, the sealing paper won't appear. Consider this century-old contract as you being worshipped in a different place."

The nine-headed beast was initially somewhat reluctant, but at this moment it seemed as if its mind had suddenly come to a realization.

He's just finding a new place to lord it over others, and he doesn't have to be bullied by Yunran, that little brat from Qingfeng Temple. This is clearly a dream job! "No problem!"

The people from Shenjian Manor quickly brought the items down and headed directly towards the small building through the special passage.

Yun Ran pulled the hood of her black robe back up and, accompanied by the nine-headed beast, went to make the deal.

Young Master Xue and his men waited in the backyard of the small building. This was a place where people from the Divine Sword Manor could come and go freely.

When Yunran came down, she saw the young master of the manor, whom she had met once before, waiting for her with a number of people.

One of them was holding the tray containing the fragments of the celestial book.

"Distinguished guest, this is the special item you have purchased. Please inspect it."

Long Ling stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, seemingly nonchalant, but in reality, he had taken the best position to attack.

If any of these people from Divine Sword Manor harbor any disloyalty, even if they have trump cards to save their lives, Dragon Spirit can attack them all immediately.

Chi Yao did not appear; he remained seated on the second floor, his gaze quietly fixed on the courtyard below.

His manner suggested that no matter what Yunran wanted to do, he would at most offer some assistance from behind the scenes, but he wouldn't interfere in other matters.

As soon as Young Master Xue finished speaking, Ma San, who had been acting as his lackey, immediately stepped forward respectfully and accepted the tray with both hands.

Yun Ran raised her hand, and a phantom image of a nine-headed ferocious beast that occupied most of the courtyard appeared brazenly.

The phantom quickly solidified; the aura of the ancient ferocious beast was already extremely terrifying.

Those who came with Young Master Xue were all specially selected and had already made mental preparations.

But when they suddenly saw the ancient beast with nine heads, they were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

Even Young Master Xue's face turned deathly pale in an instant: "This..."

He had assumed that this noble person, who was unwilling to reveal his true identity, must possess an ancient ferocious beast that was not simple, but he never expected it to be this extraordinary.

There were a few 'crack' sounds as something broke.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw many pieces of jade and other stones lying on the ground.

Seeing this, the nine-headed beast was also dumbfounded. He had only released a tiny bit of pressure, just to give these people a warning.

To avoid making it difficult to control these people in the future, who, relying on the contract, will bother him with all sorts of trivial matters.

Unexpectedly, this show of force seems to have gone a bit too far.

After a slight moment of unease, the nine-headed beast immediately became righteous and self-assured. When facing Yun Ran, he had no choice but to humble himself.

When he's dealing with other humans, he's a completely different person.

He immediately let out several heavy breaths. Apart from Yun Ran, everyone else in the backyard of the small building turned pale, with large beads of sweat sliding down their foreheads.

With a few 'thumps', several people, unable to withstand such pressure, buckled at the knees and knelt down.

Yunran: ...

It seems that the nine-headed beast was really restrained and well-behaved in front of her before, at least it never damaged anything of hers.

But she won't be responsible for after-sales service for things that have already been "sold".

Given her current position, she's not suited to be a peacemaker.
