"Brother Xiao Yan, Arale is so damned, she actually remembered you even now!" Ye Qianqian hugged Xiao Yan tightly, sobbing.

"It's alright, it's alright, Brother Xiao Yan doesn't care about these things." The long-awaited embrace gave Xiao Yan new confidence and courage, making him feel elated.

This scene infuriated Gu Xun Er once again.

She was finally about to win back Xiao Yan's heart, but that bitch appeared in front of Xiao Yan again.

"Hmm? Xun'er, why don't you bow to me, the Dean?" Ye Qianqian deliberately teased Gu Xun Er, putting on a smug and arrogant look.

"I've met... the... Dean..." Gu Xun Er, each word uttered slowly and deliberately, her teeth itching with hatred.

"Well, considering that you and I have had some interactions in the past, you don't need to kneel. You may leave!" Ye Qianqian waved her hand, speaking as if it were perfectly reasonable.

Gu Xun Er was furious. Who the hell wanted to kneel before you? Don't you have any shame?

Ye Qianqian then turned her gaze to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, Arale has a gift for you."

She took out the last Divine Sacred Bead and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"This is... a rule bead?"

Xiao Yan was shocked. Ye Qianqian had actually given him a supreme treasure that could help him become a saint.

In that instant, Gu Xun Er's words were proven false; the girl before her still had feelings for him.

Honestly, becoming a saint instantly is simply against the will of heaven. Everyone knows what a Dou Sheng Expert means on the Dou Qi Continent.

Achieving the title of Dou Sheng, revitalizing his family, establishing his own sect, gaining the respect of the world, standing at the pinnacle of the world, and looking down upon all living beings— Xiao Yan had never imagined such a thing.

Ye Qianqian started bragging, "Brother Xiao Yan, because Arale's strength is not enough right now, she can only create a Rule Bead for becoming a Saint. Please don't mind. If Arale becomes stronger, then she can create a Rule Bead for becoming Dou Di for you to use."

Xiao Yan "..."

He was utterly speechless. So, creating Dou Sheng Expert was like selling cabbages in this girl's eyes!

But the fact that this girl still had feelings for him filled him with overwhelming happiness.

"Brother Xiao Yan Arale, there's another thing I want to ask you. Could you lend me that Ancient Jade from your family?"

"Ancient Jade?" Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. He took out the Tou She Ancient God Jade from his Storage Ring and handed it to Ye Qianqian, saying, "This is my Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade. It seems that many mysterious forces are trying to find it. With my strength, I am not yet able to protect it properly. Giving it to you is the best choice."

Just as Ye Qianqian was about to take it, Gu Xun Er stopped her.

Gu Xun Er had been sent by her family to the Xiao Clan to find out the whereabouts of the ancient Ancient Jade since she was a child. When she saw that the Ancient Jade was to be handed over to Ye Qianqian, she naturally disagreed.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you can't give the jade to him!" Gu Xun Er said angrily.

"Why?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

This Ancient Jade has far-reaching implications, and handing it over to Ye Qianqian now would be the best course of action. Why does Xun'er disagree?

"Because..."

Gu Xun Er stammered, not daring to reveal the truth. If she were to tell the whole story about Ancient Jade, it would completely expose her secret of coming to the Xiao Clan since childhood.

Xiao Yan decisively handed the Ancient Jade to Ye Qianqian and said to Gu Xun Er, "Arale gave it to me. Such a precious treasure shouldn't go unreturned. This Ancient Jade, let alone lending it, is perfectly acceptable to give it to her."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yan," Ye Qianqian smiled sweetly, quickly taking the ancient Ancient Jade away in front of Gu Xun Er, which infuriated Gu Xun Er.

Gu Xun Er was filled with righteous indignation and secretly decided to tell her family about this matter. Her father, Gu Yuan, would personally take action and kill this vile woman.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Yan, Ye Qianqian called Yun Shan to her side.

Of all her trusted confidants, only her die-hard fan Yun Shan is truly reliable, so she intends to entrust the rest of the affairs to Yun Shan.

"What business does the master have with me?"

Yun Shan still couldn't adapt to Ye Qianqian's changes.

After that incident, his ancestor completely disappeared from his sight, replaced by another ancestor. Therefore, he has always maintained a distant attitude towards Ye Qianqian.

"Little Shanzi, you've become distant with me," Ye Qianqian said, referring to Yun Shan by his nickname from the Misty Cloud Sect. She tossed the Tou She Ancient God Jade to Yun Shan and said, "I'm going to hold a spectacular auction in Jia Nan City. This Tou She Ancient God Jade will be the final, grand prize. Go and prepare. Ten days from now, start spreading the news about the Tou She Ancient God Jade to attract powerful figures from all over the world."

She didn't just deceive people when she acquired Jia Nan Academy; she actually wasted two Divine Sacred Bead to do it.

A true master swindler doesn't need to expend any money to get what they want; clearly, she still has room for improvement in her swindling skills.

There's a scheme in the works right now: to use the opportunity of becoming Dou Di to deceive the Seven Ancient Families and make up for the previous losses.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately." Deep within Yun Shan's heart, a storm was brewing. The key to the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion was in his hands. Auctioning such a priceless treasure was something he had never even dared to imagine before.

After Yun Shan left, Ye Qianqian began to think about the system's mission. The original mission was for her to trick Jia Nan Academy and Black Corner Region into handing them over within six months, but now there was less than a month left, and she should set her sights on Black Corner Region.

"System, I want to participate in the lottery."

Just then, the system's lottery wheel updated, Ye Qianqian opened the system space once again.

The system rewards this time are quite good, namely: the Ultra Instinct, the complete Supreme Pill Dao Manual, the Divine Brainwashing Technique, the Fire God Zhu Rong Technique, the Twelve Talismans, the Devil Fruit Tree, and the Supreme Bone Marrow.

Ultra Instinct, from Dragon Ball Super, allows one to attack and defend using conditioned reflexes after training. When sensing danger, one no longer needs to think, thus increasing reaction and movement speed.

The Fire God Zhu Rong Technique is a cultivation method for deities from Chinese mythology. It is the ancestor of Wan Huo, controlling the fire of all living beings. Even Heavenly Flames must bow down and obediently submit to this divine technique. It is much stronger than the Flame Mantra.

There are also the Twelve Talismans, which are from Jackie Chan Adventures. When combined, they possess twelve different magical abilities.

These two are the ones Ye Qianqian is most familiar with.

"Bite"

Each draw costs 1,000,000 Shock Points. Would you like to draw a prize now?

"Smoke"

The wealthy and powerful Ye Qianqian rubbed her hands together, deciding to start with a 1 billion yuan warm-up.

As the lottery wheel spun continuously, Ye Qianqian became increasingly engrossed. Finally, after consuming 3 billion Shock Points, she managed to draw four satisfactory items.

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Devil Fruit Tree.

Congratulations, host, on obtaining the complete text of the Supreme Pill Dao.

Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Supreme Bone Marrow.

Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Divine Brainwashing Technique.

Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Fire God Zhu Rong Technique.

Ye Qianqian was quite satisfied with these five items.

The Devil Fruit Tree is a plant from the world of One Piece that produces Devil Fruit, which can enable many people to become Devil Fruit users.

The complete text of the Supreme Pill Dao contains all things in the universe. Once you learn it, you can even refine pills that can help Dou Di advance in rank.

The Supreme Bone Marrow, once fused, can strengthen the bones and enhance the physical body's strength and power.

As for the last one, the Divine Brainwashing Technique, it was the one Ye Qianqian valued most, because it was a super powerful tool for deceiving people.

This brainwashing technique can use one's words and actions to forcibly instill distorted facts into people with weak willpower, reaching the level of so-called experts and professors, and developing a large number of brainwashed fans.

She first integrated the Supreme Bone into her body, and her original height of 1.63 meters instantly increased to 1.73 meters. Her body was now fully developed, with a graceful figure, tall stature, and unparalleled beauty.

His physical strength was once again elevated, and his brute force, which was originally over 10 billion tons, increased rapidly, doubling in size.

Originally possessing the noble temperament brought by the Dragon God's Blood, coupled with the Supreme Bone, he became even more supreme and unparalleled, like a god.

"With my current physical strength, I should be able to break through my limits and transform into Super Saiyan Two, right?"

Ye Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, feeling as if she had eaten a hundred Snickers bars and drunk a hundred cans of Red Bull, full of energy and with an urge to fight someone.

She then opened the system space and checked the Devil Fruit Tree.

This tree is enormous, with tens of thousands of Devil Fruit hanging from it. Most of them are Zoan, and there are quite a few Paramecia-type fruits, while there are relatively fewer Logia fruits.

With so many Zoan- type and Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, Ye Qianqian felt that they should be allowed to play their proper roles.

If these Devil Fruits were brought out, would anyone on the Dou Qi Continent still believe that Dou Qi cultivation is the dominant force? Hehe...

Three more days passed, and thunderclouds continued to rise over Jia Nan City, filling the city with the sweet fragrance of cinnabar, a delightful aroma that soothed the soul.

Some alchemists watched the colorful lightning in the sky with piety and awe. After inquiring, they learned that it was actually Yun Lan Ancestor, Ye Qianqian, refining high-grade pills.

Ye Qianqian, who possesses the Emperor Realm Soul, has already mastered seven or eight tenths of the Supreme Pill Dao. With a slap on the lid of the cauldron, the cauldron overflowed with pills, spilling all over the ground.

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have gained another 10,000,000 Shock Points.

The academy's elders and students were completely dumbfounded. Those were seventh-grade pills! They had casually refined a whole batch, leaving the ground covered in them. When did seventh-grade pills become so cheap?

Zi Yan, Ye Qianqian's younger sister, saw that her boss had finished refining the pills and promptly stepped forward to help pick them up from the ground. She even popped two or three pills into her mouth every now and then, rolling around happily on the ground.

In the past three days, Ye Qianqian successfully produced one Ninth-grade Pill, one hundred Eighth-Tier Pill, one thousand seventh-grade pills, and countless pills below the sixth grade. She almost used up all the medicinal herbs in the academy's herb warehouse. Fortunately, the little girl Zi Yan was constantly leading people in the mountains to painstakingly collect various spiritual herbs for her, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to refine them.

"Xiaoshanzi, come here for a second," Ye Qianqian called Yun Shan over once again.

"Grand Ancestor, what brings you here?"

Ye Qianqian said, "Take some people to the Black Corner Region and advertise for me. Tell them that I will be holding a lecture and teaching conference in the Black Corner Region tomorrow. Everyone who attends can receive a gift of fruit and health products. The quantity is limited, so it's first come, first served."

The fruits and health supplements she mentioned were Devil Fruit and elixirs of grade seven or lower.

"Yes, disciple will take care of it immediately." Yun Shan left right away to inform the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect and the teachers of the academy to handle the matter together.

Ye Qianqian chuckled. This time, she would also experience what it was like to be an expert or professor.
