  “Lai Yue Inn, son of the Lord of Green Mountain Manor, young master Zhu Xiangyu had been in business with the Cheng’s this entire time. He just might be the only one who had a shred of idea with regards to what the Cheng’s would be selling!”


  “If Zhu Xiangyu knows, we should find an opportunity to ask him about it!” Elder Fan made a split second decision.

  Naturally nobody objected to that!

  Cheng Xiao Xiao had just returned from cultivating in the dimension and she heard chattering from the courtyard downstairs; it was Yesu and Zhou Jinjiang, the manager.

  “Uncle Zhou, what’s the matter?” Walking down the stairs, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked the ones that were still lingering.

  Zhou Jinjiang smiled when he saw her, “Xiao Xiao, about time you show up. I need to talk to you about something!”


  “What? Some other matters that Uncle Zhou couldn’t take care of?” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao. Her eyes rolled around and she asked, “Is this about the new servants? You finished screening them already?”


  “Exactly that. It’s almost time for the auction and I have about 50 or so people who are somewhat decent. Xiao Xiao you take a look at the for yourself!”


  “Okay, not a problem. Just send them over, Uncle Zhou!”


  Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded, as far as loyalty from these individuals were concerned, all she needed to do was to toss them into the dimension. The dimension was the best transformation machine.

  A group of men and women of various ages appeared in Cheng Xiao Xiao’s courtyard. They all appeared very respectful from their looks; as for their true feelings internally, that’s everybody’s guess.

  If she wasn’t so worried that there would be spies among them, she wouldn’t indiscriminately toss everybody into the dimension. Unfortunately, the Cheng’s were just starting out, they couldn’t afford to take the risk and lose everything that they have built from the groun up.

  It only took half a day’s time. By the time everybody came back out from the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell from the way they looked at her that her effort was not wasted.

  When she returned them back to Zhou Jinjiang to put them to work, the manager saw nothing but loyalty in these individual’s eyes. He was completely shocked.

  He had an inkling that her secret was far more than just being a master beast tamer, it was entirely possible that …..

  She was also a mythical contract binder.

  Mythical contract binder was definitely a whole different league!

  Rumors had it that a mythical contract binder can bind any kind of lifeform. Regardless of type, as long a it has a mind, and intelligence, and as long as the mythical contract binder has the will to do so, they will be able to control these lifeforms regardless of their will.

  To put it simply, a mythical contract binder can bind anyone (including spirits) and make them their servant and their slaves.

  This idea had never occurred to Zhou Jinjiang before, but after Cheng Xiao Xiao had shown this over and over again; he started to suspect that possibility.

  Qing Zhu, Lu Zhu, and Cheng Chi and the lot had only been with her for a few days before they were undoubtedly loyal to her. If that was gratefulness, perhaps that was one explanation.

  The most suspicious of all it was that arrogant Ying Ziliang. He was the one who had no hesitation about killing the entire Cheng’s. But not only did he disappear mysteriously, when he resurfaced, he was also incredibly loyal to Cheng Xiao Xiao right away. With the exception of her, even when it came to the housemaster Cheng Biyuan, he was at most respectful to him. Nowhere was he closed to loyal to him.

  And now, it has been merely half a day, and these people immediately have the same loyal look toward this mistress whom they had just met; how could Zhou Jinjiang not get suspcious?
