Under Qiao Suinian's coercion and enticement, San Niang finally signed the Necromancer Contract amidst tears and sobs.
Those around them watched this scene and inwardly cursed what a beast he was, but none of them dared to stand up for Third Sister. Qiao Suinian's ruthlessness had left them with psychological trauma.
Lei Chao and Xue Pingxie comforted San Niang from both sides, advising her to think more positively, saying that life is like that, since you can't resist it, you can only enjoy it.
Seeing their dejected state, Qiao Suinian couldn't help but shake his head.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not going to do anything to you. I'm just giving the three of you a task."
"Take all of you from Baili Pavilion and escort them to Blue Ocean City. Once you arrive, go find City Lord Chang Yongxin. After that, just listen to Chang Yongxin for everything."
Qiao Suinian pointed to Li Kouyan and the others and said.
Lei Chao and the other two's expressions changed. Didn't these words mean they were being told to follow Chang Yongxin? It was like the Liangshan heroes were being recruited. How many heroes on Liangshan, besides Song Jiang, were willing to do so?
“Brother… this Baili Pavilion is a piece of land that the three of us worked hard to build. It wasn’t easy for us to get to this point. How about we send half of our people over?” Lei Chao said cautiously.
“That’s true.” Qiao Suinian looked up at the exquisitely decorated five-story building of Baili Pavilion. “It must have been very difficult for you to build such a business, so I will be understanding.”
Upon hearing this, Lei Chao and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Then they saw Qiao Suinian pull out a gleaming longsword from the Haoye Dragon Staff.
Before they could figure out what Qiao Suinian was going to do, they saw Qiao Suinian begin to gather his Dark Flame Storm power, and then unleash a Dark Flame Evil Shadow Slash in an instant.
The terrifying black flames transformed into a giant blade, slashing towards the supporting pillars of Baili Pavilion. The pillars snapped instantly, and the entire Baili Pavilion collapsed into ruins.
"Alright, now that your foundation is gone, can we set off?" Qiao Suinian said with a smile.
Lei Chao: "......"
Xue Pingxie and San Niang both looked at Lei Chao with resentment, as if to say why Lei Chao had dared to provoke that beast Qiao Suinian.
If he hadn't spoken, at least Baili Pavilion would still be standing; but once he spoke, Baili Pavilion was completely destroyed.
Seeing that Lei Chao and the other two had no more worries and set off with their people, Qiao Suinian felt that he had done another good deed, and even the sky seemed much bluer to him today.
"Alright, it's time to go back."
Qiao Suinian patted his backpack, which contained more than a dozen light-smelling halberds. Qin Fufeng had only given him half a month, and if he didn't go back soon, Qin Fufeng would get anxious.
The journey back was quick. With Qiao Suinian intentionally avoiding them, they rarely encountered any alien races head-on. Occasionally, he would kill one or two lucky ones.
Upon returning to Kyoto, he did not immediately seek out Qin Fufeng, but instead quietly returned to Dingtianque.
When Guan Yan saw Qiao Suinian lying on her bed, her tired face immediately lit up.
"You've been gone for almost half a month, and you still know to come back!" Guan Yan rolled her eyes at Qiao Suinian.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? What if you get tired of being next to me every day?" Qiao Suinian grinned.
The next scene is VIP paid content featuring her body convulsing and her head shaking wildly; in any case, the dragon scale mark on Qiao Suinian's body has expanded a little more.
After it was all over, Qiao Suinian put his arm around Guan Yan and asked.
"So, how much profit has the black market brought to Tianque?"
“It’s huge! In just half a month, everyone in Dingtianque has improved their strength significantly! They’re all burning with anger and want to avenge you.”
Guan Yan spoke weakly.
"Also, Zuo Fangya has changed the most. With the support of the black market's resources, her control over various poisons has improved by leaps and bounds. Some of the poisons she has refined make my heart tremble."
Qiao Suinian nodded slowly. Poison, if used well, can be an extremely terrifying ability.
"Then let's not tell them I'm still alive for now, and continue to use the black market to enhance their strength."
After thinking it over, Qiao Suinian decided to continue to keep it a secret. Since he came to Kyoto, Feng Zhizhao and the others had indeed fallen far behind him in terms of strength. It would be good to get them to work harder to improve their strength.
He got up and stretched his back, then cut open the brain of a light-smelling harpy eel and extracted its brain matter.
"What is this?" Guan Yan frowned as she looked at the ferocious appearance of the light-smelling yakiniku.
"This is a really good thing." Qiao Suinian smiled and told Guan Yan all about the uses and effects of the light-smelling yakiniku eel.
Guan Yan's face turned pale instantly upon hearing this, and she quickly snatched the brain from Qiao Suinian's hand.
"You're not allowed to eat this! If you do, I'm running away right now! Go find Han Yueling, I can't take care of you!"
What nonsense are you thinking?
Qiao Suinian rolled his eyes. Why would someone who possesses the Dragon Bone need this thing?
"Think about it, if this thing were put into circulation on the black market, how much would it increase the black market's reputation and how much revenue would it generate?"
Guan Yan's expression turned serious, and then she couldn't help but get a little excited.
"If that's true! Not only will we gain profits, but we'll also uncover some of the unspoken secrets of high-ranking officials!"
Guan Yan thought further ahead: You can say a man is no good in his career, no good in his looks, no good in his physique, no good in his emotional intelligence, no good in his grades, but you absolutely cannot say he is no good in that area.
He'll definitely get furious if you tell him he's not good at that thing.
No matter how effective the light-treated yakiniku (a type of eel) is, no high-ranking official would ever admit to using it.
Qiao Suinian smiled; he knew Guan Yan would not disappoint him.
"I'm giving you a task. Have someone go to Blue Ocean City and contact City Lord Chang Yongxin to transport all the glazed eels he's caught to Kyoto. You don't need me to tell you what to do next, right?"
"Um!"
Guan Yan nodded, then pounced on Qiao Suinian and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
"You little man, you're not that old, but you've got a lot of ambition."
Guan Yan saw it very clearly: if this light-smelling eight-eyed eel was used well, it would be enough to propel the entire black market to a higher level. At that time, Qiao Suinian would be the king of the entire Kyoto underworld!
This was something she never dared to dream of back in Qianlan Pavilion.
"Ambitious? I'm more than just ambitious. I have something even bigger than ambition. Do you want to see it?"
"No! It makes my mouth hurt!"
