"Sit down and bark like a dog~"

Faced with the enraged Bai charging madly, Yumo did not show any sign of using her powers for defense but instead playfully commanded her.

’What?’

’Sit down? Bark like a dog?!’

’This is too much!’

As these words reached her ears, unprecedented rage began to collide and erupt within Bai.

A warrior can be killed but not insulted!

Although she was skilled in all sorts of worldly pleasures, she was still a true level 8 cultivator. How could she act like a dog?!

"You bastard!!"

With a furious roar, Bai released all her strength and threw a punch at Yumo’s face.

However,

At that moment,

An unexpected situation occurred...

Bai’s consciousness suddenly blurred.

...

"Woof! Woof!"

When Bai’s consciousness returned, she was horrified to find herself sitting on the ground, tongue out, making "woof" sounds!

’What am I doing?!’

Regaining her senses, Bai’s face turned as red as tomato.

Uncertain of what had happened, she couldn’t bear to maintain this embarrassing pose.

Biting her lip, Bai quickly stood up.

However,

Before she could steady herself, a faint voice again drifted into her ears:

"Keep sitting, bark a couple more times~"

’What?!’

In the next instant,

Bai’s body acted against her will, following the black-haired girl’s words like a dog seeking its master’s affection, and sat down again.

The extremely embarrassing "woof woof" sounds kept coming from Bai’s mouth.

"Woof! Woof woof... woof woof woof..."

For a moment,

The renowned Apostle of Heaven seemed like a submissive puppy in a slave market, repeatedly revealing her shameful side.

Listening to the sounds she was making, Bai’s face flushed with unprecedented humiliation assaulting her soul.

’What is happening?!’

Bai roared internally. She tried to struggle and stop her disgraceful behavior.

However,

Bai quickly realized a harsh truth.

No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t regain control of her body. She had no choice but to perform one humiliating act after another under the black-haired girl’s command. Undoubtedly, the famous Apostle of Heaven was now being toyed with at the other’s whim.

The feeling of powerlessness left Bai almost on the verge of tears.

Struggling in vain, she could only reluctantly cast her questioning gaze towards the culprit beside her.

The girl with the mischievous grin.

"What have you done to me?! Why... why is my body out of control?!"

Bai couldn’t know what happened to her, but one thing she was certain of was that it had something to do with the black-haired girl.

In response to this, Yumo didn’t deny it either. She just smirked slightly, revealing a playful and somewhat mocking smile.

"Miss Bai is quite clever, aren’t you? It should be easy to guess the reason, right?"

As she spoke, Yumo knowingly waved the ancient scroll in her hand. No longer in a state of agitation, Bai also noticed the familiar emblem on the scroll.

Although Yumo didn’t directly mention the reason, when Bai saw the emblem on the scroll, a look of sudden realization crossed her sapphire-blue eyes.

’That... isn’t that my contract?!!’

...

Thinking back to when she had been abandoned in the wilderness by Snow Devour and Deathwing after the battle at the Galrose Fortress, she had nearly lost all her combat abilities, with both her holy aura and soul power completely depleted.

At that time, in order to quickly recover her strength, Bai had to spend a large amount of coins to purchase restorative potions. Unfortunately, after being captured by Abyssal demons, her funds had been completely plundered by those two bandit-like demon kings. With no money left, Bai had no choice but to sign an contract, exchanging herself for a large quantity of rare potions, ultimately successfully regaining her strength.

Afterward, Bai had intended to redeem her contract as soon as possible upon returning to the church. However, due to her reckless lifestyle and love for gambling, her savings, to put it mildly, had been wiped out.

In her current situation, Bai was powerless to redeem her contract. Furthermore, she didn’t want to reveal this to anyone, choosing instead to quietly save money and attempt to redeem it on her own. Unfortunately, due to her gambling habit, her wallet was always empty...

The redemption of the contract seemed like a distant dream.

Now, Bai realized that she had been overly optimistic to think that the cunning merchant fox would not sell her contract. It seemed that, in Miss Fox’s dictionary, as long as the money was right, there was nothing she wouldn’t sell.

’Damn it! That shady merchant!@%!#%!@!!!’

At this moment, without caring about the grace of the Apostles of Heaven, Bai straightforwardly comforted Noya’s whole family in her mind.

"You! Who are you, and how...how did you get this thing!?"

"How did I get it?"

Yumo covered her lips with her hand and struck a seductive thinking pose:

"In this case, it’s actually quite a pleasant surprise. We also have to thank our elven friends~ for this gift, it’s really nice~"

In fact,

As the ultimate shrewd merchant, Noya had already seen through Bai’s bottom line. Knowing that this Apostle of Heaven couldn’t afford it, she resolutely sent Bai’s Contract to the auction house in the neutral zone of Golden City, trying to sell it at a high price.

Just recently at the auction, the Elven King Karos, who happened to come to the Black Market Auction in Golden City, also noticed this auction item. For him, coming to the Black Market was to look for precious gifts to give to Yumo.

After all,

During Yumo’s last visit to the Elven Tribe, Karos almost came to blows with the other party. Moreover, at that time, the elves were even considering plans to betray the Black Rose and the like. Considering the vengeful nature of the Black Rose family, Karos had been worried about being held accountable, and he couldn’t sleep peacefully.

When he saw Bai’s indenture contract, he immediately realized it. This was an excellent gift!

You see, in Karos’s eyes, the Black Rose family and the Church were absolute enemies. If he could give Yumo the indenture of an Apostle of Heaven, it would surely delight her! In this way, the Black Rose wouldn’t come after the elves!

With this in mind, Karos decisively bought Bai’s contract at a high price. Although others attending the Black Market auction also intended to compete, they were ultimately no match for the elves. After all, the elves’ financial strength was dominant, making them unmatched on the continent.

After obtaining Bai’s indenture contract, Karos eagerly turned it into a gift and presented it to Yumo.

In this way,

The current black-haired girl could use the contract’s coercive force to easily control Bai’s actions.

One has to admit,

This wave of manipulation is truly perfect~

Yumo got an interesting toy;

The Elven King got the peace of mind he desired;

Miss Fox easily made a fortune;

Everyone made a steady profit~
