Free Web NovelChapter 1283: 1279
The words spoken by those inside the box echoed some things.
The Mei Family members, presumably well aware that the token in their hands is fine if no one knows about it, but once discovered, even as the local power of Mei City, they would suffer significant repercussions.
It seems likely that the previous ambush and assault were due to someone from the Mei Family leaking information.
To think Yun Ran initially believed the Mei Family was genuinely trying to rescue their Fifth Elder.
Turns out, they casually discarded it as a hot potato for the Mei Family.
Yun Ran’s bid shattered many people’s original plans, yet miraculously balanced this series of chaos.
As the hammer fell, Dragon Spirit was somewhat puzzled, giving Yun Ran a glance, seemingly not expecting it to be finalized so quickly.
"It’s over so easily?"
While saying this, Dragon Spirit even reached for the table next to him, full of items he planned to support Yun Ran with.
Initially thinking it would be a silent showdown, unexpectedly, just as Yun Ran made her move, the opponent conceded.
Despite knowing from the start that they would surely win, winning so effortlessly left them without any sense of satisfaction.
Dragon Spirit appeared somewhat listless, without a hint of excitement.
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast raised its nine heads high; clearly, it felt this easy domination was purely due to its Ancient Beast residual soul imposing so much weight, making others feel inferior.
Thinking of something, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast split a head and looked towards Yun Ran: "You’re not really planning to contract me to this Divine Sword Manor for a hundred years, are you~"
It yearns for freedom; had it not been threatened by Yun Ran with freedom, it would never have become her lapdog.
Yun Ran immediately looked at the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast with an expression of someone looking at a fool.
"Have you really been sealed for too long, forgotten how to act like a grandee?"
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast: ...
Had it forgotten how to act like a grandee? It was clearly that Yun Ran had been too ruthless before, causing it to somewhat misjudge the current human strength.
"Don’t worry, I have a clear grasp of the situation." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Yun Ran’s words were essentially telling it that even if contracted to this lousy Divine Sword Manor, it could pretend compliance; anyway, the rules are set by him.
The Little Tripod and the Heavenly Book Fragment were acquired, and Yun Ran stood up directly: "Pack up, we’re ready to leave."
She needed to leave early before the others were prepared.
Avoiding another fierce battle; even if they could win, it would still be troublesome.
Dragon Spirit’s eyes clearly showed some yearning; he was still not satisfied, and they were about to leave.
"Aren’t you going to see what other lots follow?"
"Nothing worth seeing, and the other items aren’t worth me paying more of a price."
Dragon Spirit could only reluctantly stand up; even though he enjoyed arguing, he knew exactly what should and shouldn’t be done.
Yun Ran raised her hand, releasing three moderately sized Fire Essences, handing them directly to the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast.
"As long as you don’t act unruly, the Sealing Paper won’t appear; this hundred-year contract is just you getting worshipped elsewhere."
The Nine-headed Ferocious Beast was initially somewhat unwilling, but at this moment, it suddenly realized it was being honored elsewhere without being bullied by the Qingfeng Temple kid Yun Ran...
This was clearly a great job!!!
"No problem!"
The Divine Sword Manor folks quickly brought the items over from the special passage direction, heading directly towards the small building.
Yun Ran put on her black robe hat again, with the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast, headed for the transaction.
Young Master Xue, leading some individuals, awaited in the back courtyard of the small building, a place where members of the Divine Sword Manor could freely enter and exit.
Upon Yun Ran’s arrival, she saw the Young Master she had encountered before waiting with numerous people.
The hand of one person held the tray containing the Heavenly Book Fragment.
"Honored guest, this is the special lot you bid on; please verify."
Dragon Spirit leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, seemingly indifferent, but he occupied the best attacking position.
Once these Divine Sword Manor members exhibited any ulterior motives, regardless of their life-saving cards, Dragon Spirit could instantaneously attack everyone.
Chi Yao did not appear, remaining seated upstairs, quietly observing the courtyard below.
That demeanor seemed as if Yun Ran could do whatever she wanted, he would at most offer some support from behind, with no intention of intervening further.
As Young Master Xue finished speaking, ever the sycophant, Ma San respectfully stepped forward and accepted the tray with both hands.
Yun Ran raised her hand, and with a sweeping motion, the massive shadow of the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast occupied much of the courtyard.
The shadow quickly manifested; the aura of the Ancient Beast was inherently terrifying.
Those accompanying Young Master Xue were specially selected and prepared mentally.
Yet upon suddenly witnessing the Ancient Beast with nine heads, they were startled into retreating.
Even Young Master Xue’s face abruptly turned pale: "This..."
He had anticipated the Ancient Beast held by this esteemed guest unwilling to reveal her true self to be formidable, but never imagined it would be this extraordinary.
’Crack’, echoed several shattering sounds.
Following the sound’s direction, fragments of jade and similar materials lay scattered on the ground.
Witnessing this, even the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast was somewhat dumbfounded; it had released merely a fingernail of pressure, intending to give them a show of strength.
To avoid difficulty in suppressing these humans later, assuming that due to the contract, they would trouble it with any trivial matters.
Unexpectedly, the demonstration seemed a bit excessive.
Slightly guilty, the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast immediately resumed its firm stance; towards Yun Ran, it had to submit, there was no choice.
Towards other humans, it donned an entirely different expression.
Promptly snorted several more breaths; everyone in the small building’s backyard, Yun Ran aside, turned pale, large beads of sweat sliding down their foreheads.
’Thud’ sounded several times; multiple individuals couldn’t withstand the pressure, weakening at the knees, and knelt directly.
Yun Ran: ...
It seemed the Nine-headed Ferocious Beast had been restrained and sensible in front of her before, as at least it never damaged her belongings.
But for something already ’sold’, she wouldn’t offer after-sales service.
Her current identity wasn’t suited to act as a mediator.
