Meng Yudie's smile stiffened slightly.

Over the centuries, she has seen countless people in the Hehuan Sect and throughout the entire Qingzhou region.

Even the elders of those prestigious and righteous sects.

Or perhaps he considers himself a dashing and exceptionally talented individual.

Who wouldn't appear virtuous on the surface but secretly drool over her when they see her?

With just a glance or a flirtatious look from her, those men would be willing to risk their lives.

Someone like Cao Kun sat on the edge of the bed with his chest exposed, staring straight at her chest.

He even shamelessly boasted that he "wanted it every minute and every second"—what a scoundrel.

This was the first time she had ever seen it.

What frustrated Meng Yudie even more was...

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the boy was truly captivated by her.

Or is he deliberately playing dumb to deflect his own words?

The desire in their eyes was real.

But that nonchalant attitude.

It's clearly saying that you're nothing special to me.

This gave Meng Yudie, who was used to manipulating all men, a strange sense of uncertainty.

"Giggle giggle..."

After a brief moment of surprise, Meng Yudie suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and covered her mouth with a coquettish laugh.

Her snow-white chest heaved violently.

She completely ignored Cao Kun's words, swayed her hips, and walked straight to Liu Rumeng, who was standing to the side at a loss.

He gently lifted his apprentice's burning face.

Out of the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at Cao Kun.

"Oh dear, my silly apprentice."

Meng Yudie drawled out her words, her tone carrying an obvious hint of sarcasm.

"Look how red her little face is, look what she's done to herself. She even wore her outer skirt inside out."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumeng glanced down.

The ties of the red tulle skirt were indeed tied in the front.

He was so embarrassed that his face turned bright red, and he wished he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground on the spot. He didn't dare to utter a sound.

Looking at her apprentice's obedient and submissive demeanor, Meng Yudie was amazed.

They held Cao Kun's methods in even higher regard.

She looked at Cao Kun again.

He leaned forward slightly, adopting the posture of an enlightened elder.

"Young friend Cao is really something, he doesn't know how to cherish women at all."

Meng Yudie winked at Cao Kun, her peach blossom eyes shimmering with tears.

"Our Hehuan Sect is a sacred place for dual cultivation, where Yin and Yang are harmonized."

"As your master, I naturally give you my full support for your dual cultivation with Rumeng."

At this point, she changed the subject.

Her small, bright red tongue inadvertently licked her full lips.

"However, Ru Meng is still young, and her body hasn't fully developed yet. She hasn't learned many of the secret techniques of Hundred Flowers Peak."

"If young friend Cao feels he hasn't had enough fun..."

"As your master, I wouldn't mind personally stepping in and giving you some pointers."

"I guarantee that young friend Cao will be so happy that he'll forget all about Shu."

This is a blatant hint being thrown out.

Meng Yudie was full of confidence.

No one could refuse her personal invitation.

Moreover, he was just a hot-blooded young man.

If this kid dares to take advantage of her, she has plenty of ways to deal with him.

result.

……

……

"Thank you for your kind offer, Peak Master Meng."

Cao Kun looked at Meng Yudie with a half-smile, his tone extremely perfunctory.

"I think Ru Meng is in pretty good health right now."

"Young and energetic, soft and obedient."

"There's no need to learn any secret techniques."

These words were spoken.

Meng Yudie's charming smile froze again.

You were rejected?

He took the initiative to extend an olive branch, only to be rejected by a mere young upstart?!

A strong sense of frustration welled up inside me.

What follows is an extremely strong competitive spirit.

That brat is quite a picky eater.

Is the charm I've cultivated over hundreds of years really inferior to that of a naive young girl?

Meng Yudie cursed Cao Kun inwardly for being clueless about romance, but outwardly she became even more enthusiastic.

She rolled her eyes and decided to avoid direct confrontation for the time being and instead test the waters indirectly.

"I am relieved that young friend Cao shows such favoritism towards Rumeng."

Meng Yudie then changed the subject.

Her gaze naturally fell on the black iron ring on Liu Rumeng's snow-white neck.

This is the real reason she condescended to come to this damp cave today.

"Speaking of which, the magical artifact around Rumeng's neck is truly exquisite."

Meng Yudie pretended to be chatting casually, but her tone carried a hint of amazement.

"Even my late-stage Golden Core spiritual sense probe can be instantly repelled by it."

"Looking at the entire Qingzhou, such defensive magic treasures are extremely rare."

She looked up at Cao Kun, her eyes gleaming.

"I am quite fond of this item. Young friend Cao, you are so generous; I wonder if you... have any more?"

"Just name your price, no matter how many spirit stones it is, I am willing to buy it at a high price."

These words came out.

Liu Rumeng, nestled in Cao Kun's arms, was completely distraught.

She secretly lifted her eyelids and glanced at her master, whose eyes were filled with greed.

She tilted her head slightly and glanced at her owner, who had a mischievous smile on his lips.

Liu Rumeng's mind went blank.

What the hell is this defensive magic weapon?!

That was clearly a death warrant that could lock away one's soul and control life and death!

Master, you are usually so shrewd, how could you be so blind today and rush into this old lecher's fire pit?

Liu Rumeng opened her mouth, wanting to remind her master.

But she swallowed the words back down her throat.

She knew her master all too well.

Given Meng Yudie's personality, even if Liu Rumeng desperately tried to tell her that this thing was a trap,

She would never believe it.

Instead, they would think that Liu Rumeng was deliberately blocking her, not wanting her to get the same magic weapon.

never mind,

If I ruin my master's plans, the consequences will be even worse.

Master, you haven't been very kind to me usually, so you'd better pray for yourself this time!

At this moment, Cao Kun could barely suppress the urge to burst into laughter.

This old green tea finally took the bait.

However, Cao Kun did not agree immediately. Instead, he sighed deeply, his face full of regret.

"Master Meng has excellent eyesight."

"This thing is called the Martial Spirit Ring."

"The Martial Spirit Ring?" Meng Yudie murmured the name.

He searched his mind for the list of magical treasures in Qingzhou, but found nothing.

Liu Rumeng's lips twitched violently.

What the hell is this Martial Spirit Ring?!

Can't you put a little more effort into making up a name?

"That's right."

Cao Kun started spouting nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I got this by chance from an extremely secluded ancient site."

"The technique for crafting this treasure has long been lost, making it extremely rare."

He held up two fingers and waved them in front of Meng Yudie.

"I searched the entire site and only found two."

"Ru Meng has one here, and my master, Yu Linglong, wears another one."

After saying that, Cao Kun spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"That's all."

"There's not a single drop left."

Upon hearing that it was gone, Meng Yudie's anger flared up instantly.

That's how people are.

The more unattainable something is, the more it itch in your heart.

Especially when he saw that his arch-rival Yu Linglong had it, but he didn't.

How could Meng Yudie, who was always competitive, swallow this insult?

"Young friend Cao, are there really not a single one left?"

Meng Yudie was not giving up. She leaned forward again and spoke urgently.

"Look around some more. Spirit stones are no problem. High-grade pills, top-quality spiritual herbs, even my Hundred Flowers Peak's unique cultivation techniques—take your pick!"

Cao Kun caught a glimpse of Meng Yudie's extremely unwilling expression, as if she wanted to search him.

He deliberately remained silent for a few moments, building up the anticipation, before slowly speaking.

"There's definitely nothing left that's readily available. But..."

Upon hearing those three words, Meng Yudie's ears immediately perked up.

"However, that's no longer available."

"But I also brought out a diagram of the array for refining this Martial Spirit Ring from those ruins."

Meng Yudie's eyes lit up.

You can refine it yourself? Then you could make as much as you want!

"only……"

Cao Kun frowned again, feigning difficulty.

"These refining materials are extremely rare; they're hard to find anywhere in the world."

"But as luck would have it, I just happened to have the last set of materials on hand."

These words were fraught with twists and turns.

They had a firm grasp on Meng Yudie's thoughts.

"The last document?"

Meng Yudie was overjoyed and completely ignored the loopholes in Cao Kun's words.

His mind was filled with that peerless magic weapon that could deflect attacks from late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and he spoke without hesitation:

"Young friend Cao, name your price! What resources of equal value do you require? I'll return to Hundred Flowers Peak right now and fetch them for you!"

"As long as you can refine this last Martial Spirit Ring for me, you can name your price!"

Hooked.

Cao Kun sneered.

Since you've offered your neck so readily, I won't hold back.

"Alright! Since Peak Master Meng is so sincere..."

Cao Kun didn't hold back and made an outrageous demand.

"Then I want two Rank 6 Hunyuan Golden Pills."

This statement came out.

The cave fell silent instantly.

Meng Yudie almost couldn't maintain her charming smile.

Primordial Golden Elixir!

That's the best of the sixth-grade pills!

A supreme treasure specifically designed to enhance the quality of the Golden Core for Core Formation cultivators, and even help them break through to the Nascent Soul realm!

In the entire Qingzhou region, there are only a handful of master alchemists who can refine this pill.

This item is always in high demand but not readily available; even top-grade spirit stones cannot buy it.

In her Hundred Flowers Peak treasure vault, she had accumulated over several hundred years, but only managed to store three in total!

This kid wants two coins right off the bat?

Meng Yudie cursed Cao Kun's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.

too dark!

This is blatant robbery!

but……

Just thinking about that weapon that could withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator and even perfectly reflect divine sense...

A top-tier life-saving treasure that will ensure you're never ambushed or attacked again...

Meng Yudie gritted her teeth.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; such a magic weapon is hard to come by.

What do two mere pills matter if we can get our hands on the item?!

"good!"

"Two it is! I promise you!"

But Meng Yudie was no pushover either.

As a cunning old fox from the Hehuan Sect, she was cautious and added, "However, we must follow the rules. Money on delivery."

"After this magical artifact is forged, I must first verify its authenticity to confirm that it truly has the miraculous effect of repelling attacks from late-stage Golden Core cultivators without any problems."

"At that time, I will naturally present the two Hunyuan Golden Pills with both hands."

As she said this, Meng Yudie was practically laughing herself silly at her own cleverness.

I'll agree to it first to keep you calm.

Once the magical artifact is forged, I will take it in, inspect it, and then forcibly bind it to me and wear it around my neck!

I'll just turn my back on you and deny everything then, let's see what you can do to me.

Two Primordial Golden Pills?

Go dream!

I must show you what the treacherous world of cultivation is like!

Liu Rumeng, standing nearby, clearly saw her master's face, which was clearly trying to get something for nothing.

He closed his eyes in despair.

It's over. There's absolutely no hope.

Master has really dug himself into a hole this time.

Others might not know what that black ring is, but how could she, who is already trapped, not know?

As soon as that thing touches the skin, it will immediately forcefully penetrate the soul and forcibly establish a master-servant soul contract.

Is Master planning to renege on the debt after inspecting the goods?

Once that thing is around your neck, you'll have to obediently kneel on the ground and call it "master"!

Liu Rumeng suddenly felt a little sorry for her master.

"No problem, Peak Master Meng is quick-witted and straightforward, deal!"

Cao Kun agreed very readily, without the slightest hesitation.

He stood up and casually adjusted his long robe.

"However, this treasure is of extremely high quality and its crafting process is quite complicated, requiring some time."

"Three days."

"Three days later, bring those two Primordial Golden Pills and come directly to the Inner Sect Pill Pavilion to find me."

"At that time, I guarantee to give you a flawless Martial Spirit Ring."

Seeing that Cao Kun agreed so readily, Meng Yudie felt a flicker of doubt in her heart.

But the allure of the top-grade magic weapon was too great, and it still overcame that slight unease.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Then I won't disturb you two any longer... as you continue to consolidate your cultivation. See you at the Pill Pavilion in three days."

Having achieved her goal, Meng Yudie did not linger any longer.

"Disciple, serve Elder Cao well."

After leaving behind this meaningful statement.

Meng Yudie's form transformed once again into countless pink and white petals, dissipating into the cave.

Liu Rumeng stared blankly at the spot where her master had disappeared.

After a long while, he mechanically turned his head to look at Cao Kun.

"you……"

"Are you really going to put that thing on my master?"

Cao Kun looked down at Liu Rumeng's stunned and charming appearance, and chuckled mischievously.

"What's wrong?"

"Feeling sorry for your shrewd and calculating master?"

.........

……

.........

.........

.........

She shuddered.

The nightmare in my mind wouldn't go away.

Finally... I'm not the only one suffering this humiliation anymore!

Liu Rumeng bit her lower lip and unconsciously shrank closer to Cao Kun.

"Master...you're so naughty..."
