I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

After leaving Lianxiang Peak, Cao Kun rode the wind all the way.

I had just stepped into the gate of Dan Pavilion.

Nangong Wan immediately hurried over to greet her.

Today she changed into an elegant light blue dress, and her long hair was styled into a gentle updo.

Her eyes were clear, and her brows held a touch of endearing fragility.

Clearly, the one currently in control of this body is that gentle and pure main soul.

"My husband."

Nangong Wan walked up to Cao Kun and bowed slightly.

She felt ashamed of the secondary soul's wild behavior.

But after Cao Kun's guidance and the kindness of the fifth-grade Spirit Nourishing Pill, she had already decided in her heart that this was the man.

"Hmm." Cao Kun casually put his arm around her voluptuous waist and squeezed it. "Where is she?"

Nangong Wan trembled, obediently leaning against Cao Kun's arm, and whispered in reply:

"Master Meng has been waiting in the private reception room for quite some time."

"Judging from her expression, she seemed a little impatient."

"That's the right thing to be impatient." Cao Kun chuckled. "Come on, take me to meet this old fox."

Nangong Wan led Cao Kun through the front hall of Dan Pavilion to a hidden stone door in the backyard.

Push open the heavy, soundproof stone door.

Meng Yudie was sitting in the main chair in the guest seat, with her legs crossed.

The hem of her skirt slid down her rounded thighs, revealing a large expanse of dazzling white skin.

A delicate embroidered shoe was dangling from her toes, swaying back and forth in mid-air.

Hearing the door open, Meng Yudie stopped swaying her embroidered shoes.

She raised her eyelids, her gaze sweeping over Cao Kun and Nangong Wan's pressed bodies.

Then she covered her mouth and let out a series of charming giggles.

"Ouch."

"Young friend Cao is certainly a very busy person, keeping me waiting here for quite some time."

Meng Yudie leaned forward slightly, her snow-white breasts almost spilling out.

"I thought you were so engrossed in the pleasures of Lianxiang Peak that you forgot all about the important business we had agreed to."

Cao Kun remained calm and didn't respond to her words at all.

He loosened his grip on Nangong Wan's waist and calmly walked into the secret room.

He pulled out a grand chair opposite Meng Yudie and sat down casually.

"Wan'er, go ahead and keep an eye on the accounts. There's nothing for you to do here." Cao Kun waved his hand.

Nangong Wan nodded obediently: "Yes, my husband."

After saying that, she turned and left the secret room, closing the stone door behind her.

As the stone gate closed.

The soundproof array inside the sealed room automatically lit up.

Cao Kun knew very well that women like Meng Yudie, who had lived for hundreds of years and climbed to the position of the master of a peak, were all shrewd and cunning.

He is naturally suspicious and has more schemes than a honeycomb.

If I act too cheerfully or too calmly, it will definitely arouse her suspicion.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to be even more greedy, more mercenary, and more afraid of being taken advantage of than she is.

With this thought in mind, Cao Kun rested his elbows on his knees.

A greedy smile immediately spread across his face.

"Master Meng is joking. How could I possibly forget about a profitable business?"

Cao Kun rubbed his hands together, his gaze fixed intently on Meng Yudie:

"The agreed-upon three days have passed. Did you bring the two Rank 6 Primordial Golden Pills you promised?"

Looking at Cao Kun's impatient appearance.

Meng Yudie sneered inwardly.

He's still a young man, and no matter how talented or strong he is, he's still inexperienced.

He was so anxious about a few high-grade pills, which revealed his true colors.

Meng Yudie let out a charming laugh.

He deliberately leaned forward.

The scenery at the neckline is even more profound.

"Why are you in such a hurry, young friend Cao?"

"Since I promised you, I naturally brought the things. However..."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

A fair hand gently touched the storage ring at the waist.

A small, palm-sized sandalwood box appeared in her palm.

Meng Yudie bent her slender white fingers and gently flicked the clasp on the jade box.

"Clatter."

The jade box was opened only a tiny crack.

The rich fragrance of cinnabar filled the entire secret room!

I only took a sniff.

The golden elixir within Cao Kun's dantian began to stir noticeably.

The sixth-grade Hunyuan Golden Pill is indeed a genuine top-quality item.

Cao Kun's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared intently at the jade box.

It exudes just the right amount of fanaticism and greed.

Even his hands unconsciously stretched forward.

Seeing Cao Kun's pathetic appearance.

The contempt in Meng Yudie's eyes deepened.

With a "snap," she closed the jade box again.

It blocked out the alluring fragrance of the elixir.

"Young friend Cao."

Meng Yudie's smile faded, and her tone became serious.

"This sixth-grade Hunyuan Golden Pill is extremely precious; there are only a handful in the entire Qingzhou."

"I can't just hand over everything because you say one thing and another."

"I haven't even seen a shadow of that 'Martial Spirit Ring' you mentioned that can reflect attacks from the late-stage Golden Core realm."

Meng Yudie leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and adopted a negotiating stance.

"I have to try it on first to verify its authenticity before I can make this deal."

"Let's see if it's really as miraculous as you say."

"What if it's just a piece of junk? Wouldn't all the wealth of Hundred Flowers Peak have been swindled away by you, you little rascal?"

Upon hearing this...

Cao Kun's expression changed, and he shook his head repeatedly without hesitation.

"That won't do! Absolutely not!"

"Peak Master Meng, don't think I'm inexperienced just because I'm young!"

"This magical artifact is a unique relic from ancient times, and it's incredibly sinister. It's engraved with an extremely domineering master-recognition array."

"Once it comes into contact with the scent and warmth of a living person, it will automatically close and recognize its master, locking itself tightly around the neck. Even a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage wouldn't be able to remove it!"

Cao Kun became more and more agitated as he spoke, adopting a protective stance towards his food.

"Once you try it, it will immediately recognize you as its master. If you try to back out later, can't produce the golden pill, or just walk away, that's your problem."

"Who can I complain to? I can't beat you in a fight. Am I supposed to go to the sect leader and report you for robbery?"

Cao Kun snorted coldly, his attitude extremely tough.

"So there's no room for negotiation on this!"

"You must show me those two Primordial Golden Pills and hand them over before we can continue talking. Otherwise, this deal is off!"

Meng Yudie frowned slightly.

She was indeed planning to get it for free, as long as she put on the magic weapon.

Regardless of whether it's good or bad.

She always has an excuse to find fault.

Then, they can easily lower the price or even default on the debt.

At first, she was worried that the items Cao Kun brought out were fakes.

But Cao Kun's stingy attitude actually dispelled her doubts.

The more this guy was afraid she would wear it, the more he emphasized that once she put it on, she couldn't take it off.

This further proves that the defensive mechanism of this magical artifact is extremely powerful, and it is undoubtedly the real deal!

Moreover, this guy was clearly afraid she would renege on her debt.

She never intended to obediently hand over the two golden pills when she came today.

Such an unparalleled treasure is best obtained for free.

"Young friend Cao, you have such a fiery temper."

Meng Yudie softened her tone and presented her bottom-line plan, which she had already prepared in advance.

"How about this, let's each take a step back."

She reopened the jade box and took out a golden pill that emitted a misty aura.

It was placed into a spare small jade bottle.

"I will give you a Primordial Golden Pill first. You give me that spirit ring."

"Once I put it on, I can confirm that this defensive artifact is not faulty and can indeed protect its master on its own, just as you said."

"I'll give you the other one."

"how?"

Cao Kun frowned.

His gaze darted back and forth between Meng Yudie and the jade box.

It seems to be caught in a great struggle.

There was a full ten breaths of silence.

Cao Kun gritted his teeth and refused again: "No! Absolutely not!"

"What if you wear it and then turn your back on me, refusing to give me the other golden core no matter what?"

"You peak masters are all cunning and treacherous. I don't trust you!"

"This deal is too risky, I'm not doing it!"

After saying that, Cao Kun flicked his sleeves.

He got up and walked towards the door of the secret chamber, making a move to open the stone door and break up the two sides.

Cao Kun's move of retreating to advance was a masterpiece of skill.

When Meng Yudie saw that he was really going to leave, she became anxious.

She finally understood.

This kid is a miser who won't act until he sees a profit.

Without offering some real money, we definitely won't see that magic weapon today.

"stop!"

Meng Yudie shouted sharply.

With a flash, he stood directly in front of the stone gate.

She forcefully shoved the small jade bottle containing a Hunyuan Golden Pill into Cao Kun's arms.

"You ungrateful brat!"

Meng Yudie put on a stern face and adopted the authority of an elder.

"Would I, the dignified Master of Hundred Flowers Peak, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, possibly try to cheat a junior like you? If word got out, wouldn't I lose all face?"

"Take this golden pill! Consider it a deposit!"

"Get the things out right now!"

Cao Kun uncorked the bottle and examined it carefully.

After confirming that the drug's potency was correct.

Only then did he carefully put the jade bottle into his storage ring.

He deliberately dawdled for a long time, with a hint of reluctance on his face.

"Okay...okay."

"You said it yourself: once the inspection is complete and there are no problems, you must give me the other one immediately. No reneging allowed!"

Cao Kun slowly reached his hand into his robes.

A thought arose.

I directly exchanged a brand new [Jade Beast Ring] from the system's Multiverse Mall for 500 mission points.

Upon seeing that familiar black iron ring, Meng Yudie's eyes lit up instantly.

That's right!

This is it!

It's exactly the same as the one Liu Rumeng is wearing around her neck!

That rustic, unpretentious quality is absolutely unbeatable!

"Give it to me!"

Meng Yudie couldn't wait for Cao Kun to hand it over.

He snatched the jade beast ring from Cao Kun's hand.

There was absolutely no hesitation.

She put it directly around her snow-white, slender neck.

"Click".

A crisp metallic clang echoed in the quiet, enclosed room.

The black ring was securely locked around Meng Yudie's neck.

next second.

Suddenly, a ring of intricate and eerie dark red patterns lit up the otherwise unremarkable black surface.

The red light, as if alive, pierced through Meng Yudie's skin and entered her body.

It went straight to the depths of the soul!

Meng Yudie felt a slight stinging pain in her head.

An extremely strange connection was established between her and Cao Kun.

She did not panic.

Instead, he revealed an extremely enthusiastic smile.

"I've accepted Him! I've truly accepted Him!"

"This domineering contract that directly binds to the soul is something even I cannot resist. It truly is an ancient, peerless magical treasure!"

Meng Yudie excitedly touched the black ring around her neck, unable to put it down.

at the same time.

In Cao Kun's mind, the system's clear, heavenly notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Detected that the jade beast 'Dream Rain Butterfly' is wearing a jade beast ring!]

[The contract formation has been activated!]

[Soul binding successful!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully captured the fifth jade beast, 'Dream Rain Butterfly'!]

[Current Jade Beast Taming Value: 0/100]

[Reward Points: 2000!]

Hearing the notification in his mind, Cao Kun couldn't help but smile.

The outcome is decided.

Inside the secret room.

Meng Yudie was still admiring the new jewelry around her neck in a water mirror.

I watched it for almost half an incense stick's time.

Satisfied, he put away the water mirror and turned to look at Cao Kun.

All previous politeness vanished, and arrogance was no longer concealed on his face.

"Young friend Cao, this magical artifact is indeed quite good; I like it very much."

Cao Kun stood still, his expression surprisingly calm:

"Since Peak Master Meng is satisfied, shouldn't you hand over the other Primordial Golden Core to me?"

"Another one?"

Meng Yudie covered her mouth and giggled.

"Oh my, young friend Cao. You are so adorably naive."

"Since this thing has recognized me as its master, it is now my personal property."

"Moreover, I suddenly feel that exchanging a sixth-grade Primordial Golden Pill for this lump of iron is already enough."

She spread her hands, with a smug look that said, "What can you do to me?"

"As for the other one..."

"Then I'll consider whether to reward you when I'm in a better mood."

"That's all for today. I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't waste any more time with you here."

Goodbye~

After saying that, Meng Yudie turned around and was about to leave the secret room.

You took my things? And you think you can just run away?

Cao Kun leaned back in his chair and spoke softly to Meng Yudie's retreating figure.

"I'm afraid that's not up to you."

Meng Yudie paused slightly as she pushed the door open.

She turned her head and looked at Cao Kun's confident and fearless appearance, and her heart skipped a beat.

A strong sense of unease suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart.

This kid's reaction is too abnormal.

He went to great lengths to obtain the Golden Elixir, only to be betrayed by his own schemers, yet he isn't angry at all?

Is there something wrong with this black ring?

But when she put it on just now, she clearly felt the array pattern recognize her.

The magical artifact was completely bound to his soul.

Unless this kid can forcibly erase the divine consciousness of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to control this magical artifact.

"What's wrong?"

"Does Elder Cao intend to attack me right here in the Pill Pavilion?"

Meng Yudie chuckled, and the immense spiritual pressure belonging to the late Golden Core stage surged faintly within her body.

Cao Kun remained silent.

He simply watched Meng Yudie quietly.

Then, in his mind, he gave instructions to the system.

"Activate the discipline function!"

[Ding! Command received!]

[The Jade Beast Ring's discipline function is now activated!]

"ah--!"

Meng Yudie didn't even have time to react.

He let out an extremely shrill scream!

That power completely ignored her defenses and acted directly on her soul!

With a "thump".

Meng Yudie's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"What...what is this?!"

Meng Yudie stared wide-eyed in horror, desperately trying to mobilize the spiritual power within her body to resist.

But to my despair, I discovered...

His own late-stage Golden Core cultivation, which he was so proud of.

The oppressive force emanating from the black ring around his neck kept him firmly locked in his dantian.

No matter what, it was impossible to mobilize even a fraction of it.

What terrified her even more was...

She actually felt an inescapable fear of the young man in front of her!

It was as if the other party could annihilate her soul with just a single thought!

"What...what did you do to me?!"

Meng Yudie was drenched in cold sweat.

He gripped the black ring around his neck tightly with both hands, desperately trying to tear it off.

But that black ring was already deeply bound to the soul.

No matter how hard she tried to pry and pull, she couldn't budge it an inch.

"What the hell is that thing?! Get it down! Get it down now!"

"It's not called the Martial Spirit Ring. Its real name is the Jade Beast Ring."

Cao Kun walked slowly to her.

Squat down.

Looking at her alluring face, contorted with fear and pain.

"Master Meng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"You bought this yourself at a high price."

"It was your own initiative that led you to put it around your own neck."

"From beginning to end, I didn't even touch you, let alone force you."

Cao Kun reached out, pinched Meng Yudie's chin, and forced her to raise her head.

"What's wrong?"

"The dignified peak master of Hundred Flowers Peak."

"Are you planning to force a sale and then try to extort me?"
