Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

Jiang Shiliu picked up the contract and read it word by word, afraid of missing any detail. When she turned to the last page, a surge of joy welled up inside her—almost all the clauses in the contract were in her favor! Especially the most crucial part: the profit-sharing ratio. She got 70%, while Jiang Moqi only got 30%. Such a lopsided distribution surprised Jiang Shiliu greatly. In this day and age, would anyone still do such a "loss-making deal"? She really couldn't understand the reason behind it.

However, just as she was secretly pleased, she suddenly noticed an additional condition in the contract: Jiang Moqi had the right to come see her anytime, anywhere. This made Jiang Shiliu suspicious. What could he possibly want from her? Perhaps he wanted to personally inspect the product's quality? Thinking of this, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but purse her lips, but quickly dismissed the thought. After all, the benefits of this contract were real, and it would be a real loss to hesitate over such a small matter.

Without hesitation, Jiang Shiliu picked up the pen, signed her name at the end of the contract, and completed the signing with Jiang Moqi. However, to her utter surprise, the instant she put down the pen, a powerful force surged from within her, sweeping through her body like a raging tide. Jiang Shiliu felt her meridians flow freely, spiritual energy continuously converging, and her previously stagnant cultivation began to rise at an astonishing speed! In the blink of an eye, she felt she was about to break through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage! This sudden change astonished Jiang Shiliu. How could signing a simple sales contract have triggered such an unbelievable event?

How could Jiang Moqi possibly tell Jiang Shiliu the reason behind it all? It turns out, he had secretly played a little trick on that crucial contract. He meticulously planned and cleverly bound his soul tightly to Jiang Shiliu's. In this way, even if Jiang Shiliu were to tragically die while carrying out that arduous correction mission, Jiang Moqi would have the power to bring her back to life.

Moreover, this binding was actually protected by the Heavenly Dao. However, what is little known is that Jiang Moqi is precisely the one who governs this Heavenly Dao. Therefore, in the end, the control over everything remains firmly in his hands.

The innocent Jiang Shiliu was completely unaware of this. She foolishly believed that she had gotten the better deal, not knowing that she had already fallen into the traps set by Jiang Moqi, and even buried herself deeper without realizing it.

After successfully signing the contract with Jiang Moqi, Jiang Shiliu embarked on her journey home without hesitation, heading straight for the Xuantian Sword Sect. Time had already slipped by, and with mealtime approaching, she didn't want to linger at someone else's house for a free meal—that would be far too impolite! Besides, she wouldn't be long before she became a veritable little rich woman! Thinking of this, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

However, she knew very well that although wealth was about to be within her grasp, she still needed to plan ahead and make careful arrangements for her future. She understood that if she couldn't successfully rewrite the current plot, with her current fragile body, surviving in this perilous world would be virtually impossible. Fortunately, Jiang Shiliu was always meticulous and far-sighted, and she already had a clear plan for her future.

She knew that within the mysterious realm after the grand competition lay a priceless treasure capable of rebuilding her body. If she could obtain this treasure and combine it with her meticulously crafted Rejuvenation Pill, with the system's powerful assistance, she would be able to live in the world with a completely new appearance. Not only that, but her spiritual roots would undergo a dramatic transformation, directly evolving into an enviable dual-spiritual root, and her cultivation would perfectly transfer to her new body along with her soul. Thinking of these wonderful prospects, Jiang Shiliu's heart was filled with anticipation and longing, and her steps became increasingly light.

However, Jiang Shiliu was completely unaware that her future path was fraught with thorns and obstacles. But as the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes," and even if there are many difficulties ahead, as long as she can seize the moment and live a fulfilling and beautiful life, it is still a wise move.

Upon returning to her sect, Jiang Shiliu immediately chose to enter seclusion for cultivation. She publicly claimed it was to consolidate her cultivation, but in reality, she secretly hid in her mustard seed space, tirelessly refining Spirit Restoration Pills. She had discovered this pill by chance in a book titled "Complete Compendium of Pills" brought back by her third senior brother. While the required materials weren't extremely complicated, surprisingly, no one had yet successfully refined it.

Jiang Shiliu spared no effort in striving for a bright future. She was completely absorbed in refining the elixir, her dedication seemingly endless. After her first failed attempt, she was undeterred, quickly adjusting her mindset and starting her second attempt. This cycle repeated tirelessly.

Surprisingly, although Jiang Shiliu devoted most of her energy to refining one type of elixir, she did not neglect other types. She held particularly high hopes for the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, determined to elevate it to the level of a divine-grade elixir. She deeply understood that only by continuously improving her alchemy skills could she truly lay a solid foundation for her future.

To fully dedicate herself to alchemy, Jiang Shiliu even resorted to consuming an upgraded version of the fasting pill she herself had concocted. This miraculous pill possessed powerful effects; just one pill could allow a person to go without food for an entire month without feeling any hunger. It was with this aid that Jiang Shiliu was able to immerse herself wholeheartedly in the world of alchemy.

Time flies, and before they knew it, it was the day before the grand competition. After a long and arduous struggle, Jiang Shiliu finally emerged from the secluded alchemy room. She looked exhausted, but her eyes shone with undisguised excitement and anticipation. When she reappeared among the crowd, people were surprised to find that this once delicate and beautiful woman now appeared somewhat disheveled.

However, Jiang Shiliu clearly had no time to care about the strange looks from others. Her first action was to rush to the bathroom, intending to thoroughly clean herself. After all, for the past month, she had devoted herself entirely to alchemy, neglecting not only bathing but also basic hygiene. The feeling of being covered in grime and feeling sticky and uncomfortable was simply unbearable.
