The next day, Bai Fengting opened her eyes and saw Zhou Er cultivating outside.

She got up, felt the coolness on her body, quickly put on some clothes, and came to Zhou Er's side, saying affectionately:

"Senior, I love you so much!"

"What I can give you is nothing more than that Foundation Establishment Pill."

Zhou Er had too many love debts and couldn't give Bai Fengting a proper title.

"It's okay, Senior, I don't need a title, I just need you to accompany me occasionally."

Bai Fengting rubbed against Zhou Er's body like a puppy.

Zhou Er felt a surge of anger from being rubbed against, picked up Bai Fengting, and took her inside, letting her vent his anger.

"Senior, this servant will only acknowledge you from now on."

Bai Fengting lay in Zhou Er's arms, exhausted.

Zhou Er satisfied all her fantasies; he was young and rich, with extraordinary strength. She was willing to remain in depravity forever.

While stroking Bai Fengting's beautiful hair, Zhou Er thought about his future plans.

Lin Shiyu had been in seclusion these past few days, and he had indeed been a bit excessive.

However, Bai Fengting's figure was the most fitting for him.

Although, in his heart, Lin Shiyu was always first, his body was very honest.

Therefore, he also wanted to keep Bai Fengting by his side.

Last night, Zhou Er and Bai Fengting talked a lot, discussing Bai Fengting's background.

Bai Fengting was the illegitimate daughter of an elder from the Bai Family. Her birth mother had a low status and was just a mortal who died more than ten years ago.

Her birth father had always treated her as a tool, repeatedly trying to arrange a marriage alliance for her. If it weren't for her good talent and her contributions to the family, she would have likely been exchanged as a bargaining chip long ago.

From childhood to adulthood, she had no one trustworthy who could protect her.

Therefore, now that she had met Zhou Er, to whom she could entrust her body and mind, she let down her deepest defenses and gave him her entire being.

"Fengting, I've been thinking, why don't you stay at the Sunset Sect? I'll open a talisman shop for you nearby, and you can help me sell talismans."

Zhou Er hesitated for a long time before deciding to keep Bai Fengting by his side.

After all, such a stunning beauty, if she were far away, he would be reluctant to part with her.

"This servant will obey Senior in everything."

Bai Fengting said obediently.

After all, her job at the Bai Family was also to promote goods like this.

Of course, Zhou Er couldn't appear in person for the opening of the Talisman Shop, so he called Xu Yuanyuan, who was standing at the door, inside. He held Bai Fengting in one arm and Xu Yuanyuan in the other.

Then, he looked at Xu Yuanyuan and asked:

"Yuanyuan, do you know who she is?"

"She is the Owner's Cauldron, just like me!"

Xu Yuanyuan said without any reservation.

"Only you are my Cauldron, she is my Dao Companion."

Zhou Er scolded, then fiercely pinched Xu Yuanyuan's soft flesh.

"Ah~ Owner, I know I was wrong."

Xu Yuanyuan begged for mercy with excitement.

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

Zhou Er nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Bai Fengting and said:

"Fengting, do you know who she is?"

Bai Fengting looked at the maiden who kept approaching Zhou Er, frowned, but still replied:

"She is Xu Yuanyuan, the sister of Talisman Master Xu, Xu Lifeng."

"That's right!"

Zhou Er nodded and said:

"Next, you will open a Talisman Shop near the sect with her and sell Talismans for me. Nominally, it will be under Xu Lifeng's name."

"Owner, I don't want to cooperate with her."

Xu Yuanyuan said feeling wronged.

"Hold back!"

Zhou Er commanded.

After that, Xu Yuanyuan could only open a Talisman Shop with Bai Fengting.

There weren't many talismans sold inside; they were all talismans made by Zhou Er and Xu Yuanyuan.

Bai Fengting was responsible for managing the shop, while Xu Yuanyuan hid behind the scenes, acting as background.

As for Zhou Er, he simply made talismans every day and sold them to the talisman shop at intervals.

After Lin Shiyu emerged from seclusion, her cultivation reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

At this time, Zhou Er became much more obedient and stayed by Lin Shiyu's side.

He had long forgotten the reason he had taken the Teleportation Array to this place.

"Senior Brother, I heard about the recent Yuanfeng Talisman Shop."

Lin Shiyu suddenly brought up the matter.

"Ah, that! I've heard of it too."

Zhou Er pulled Lin Shiyu into his embrace, not hiding anything, and said:

"Their prices for purchasing talismans are fair. The talismans I've been making recently are all sold to them."

"Senior Brother, do you know who the boss of that talisman shop is?"

Lin Shiyu asked.

"Who?"

Zhou Er feigned ignorance.

Besides collecting Spirit Stones, he hadn't interfered much with the operations of the talisman shop.

"Xu Yuanyuan! She's Xu Lifeng's sister. I'm worried she has ulterior motives."

Lin Shiyu said worriedly.

They had killed Xu Yuanyuan's brother, Xu Lifeng, so Lin Shiyu had to be wary of Xu Lifeng's close associates.

"This matter!"

Zhou Er wasn't flustered at all and said:

"I thought the boss was that Bai Fengting. We were just defending ourselves that day. Even if it's found out, Xu Yuanyuan has no reason to retaliate against us."

Xu Yuanyuan had already been marked with his Nightmare Heart-Control Talisman and would obey him wholeheartedly, so she wouldn't have any other intentions.

Zhou Er was fearless because of this.

"Senior Brother, next time you go to Yuanfeng Talisman Shop, be careful. Don't be deceived by Xu Yuanyuan."

Lin Shiyu cautioned.

Even, she wanted to accompany Zhou Er every time.

But she also had things to be busy with and couldn't be inseparable from Zhou Er.

"I know, Shiyu."

Zhou Er reached into Lin Shiyu's sleeve and felt around.

"Xu Lifeng and the others are confirmed dead. They were probably killed by Lin Shiyu and her group, and it was a crushing victory. I'm afraid the Sunset Sect has already noticed us."

Inside a dilapidated temple, several figures gathered.

"Xu Lifeng's sister, Xu Yuanyuan, has also gone silent. She even opened a talisman shop with that bitch from the Bai family."

Someone said with disgust.

Although the talisman shop wasn't large, it still had some impact on their Taiyi Talisman Alliance's business.

During the previous Righteous-Demonic War, the Zheng Family Ancestor who controlled the Sunset Mountain Range perished, and the talisman business was taken over by their Taiyi Talisman Alliance.

The Alliance members were a mix of righteous and demonic cultivators, with no allegiance, only seeking to profit greatly. They wished the Righteous-Demonic War, which swept across the entire continent, would continue indefinitely.

Only then could they earn more Spirit Stones.

"Lin Shiyu is also difficult to deal with, but that Yuanfeng Talisman Shop is too conspicuous. We still need to find someone to take it down, to get rid of that eyesore!"

Someone said.

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, maybe they changed their name!

"It's perfect. We can have the Bai Family members step forward and take Bai Fengting away."

One person said.

Inside the Yuanfeng Talisman Shop, Bai Fengting looked at the shop.

She was the Shopkeeper. Specific matters were handled by disciples from the Sunset Sect, so she didn't need to get involved.

After all, these ordinary Outer Sect Disciples and Servant Disciples could be bought for a month with a few Spirit Stones.

However, even though she didn't have to sell talismans herself, she still needed to manage her subordinates.

Otherwise, if these people slacked off or stole, it would also have a negative impact.

Just as Bai Fengting finished inspecting the remaining talismans and the Spirit Stones in the ledger, confirming everything was in order.

A group of people blocked the entrance to the Yuanfeng Talisman Shop. The leader was a Middle-aged Male Cultivator.

"Bai Fengting, well done! Your family has been looking for you for months, and you actually ran off to the Sunset Sect, Yunxia Mountain, to open a talisman shop. Your wings have grown strong."

The Middle-aged Male Cultivator shouted orders.

Upon seeing the man, Bai Fengting's face showed disgust.

This person was her Birth Father, Bai Yuyu.

"I'm twenty-eight years old now, so what if I leave the Bai Family!"

Because she had someone backing her, Bai Fengting wasn't flustered at all.

As she spoke, she sent a telepathic message to Xu Yuanyuan, asking her to come and handle the situation.

"So what if you're thirty, you're still my daughter, and I have the right to discipline you! I've already arranged a marriage for you, and you must come back with me today, or I'll make you pay!"

Bai Yuyu said fiercely.

"This is within the Sunset Sect's territory, I don't believe you can do anything to me?"

Bai Fengting did not back down.

Seeing this, Bai Yuyu brought his men and rushed into the Talisman Shop, taking away the First-grade Talisman on display, saying:

"These are all talismans made by my daughter, I'll take them without paying Spirit Stones. If you don't come with me, you won't be able to do business here for a single day."

After speaking, Bai Yuyu was about to have people grab Bai Fengting.

Fortunately, Bai Fengting was quick.

Bai Fengting flew towards Xu Yuanyuan's Cave Mansion using her magic artifact, while continuously trying to contact her.

Finally, on the way, Xu Yuanyuan arrived.

"Who dares to be so arrogant here!"

Xu Yuanyuan shouted, her gaze swept over, and she noticed Bai Yuyu and his men chasing after them.

Then, she merely released a bit of her Foundation Establishment pressure, and the few men immediately panicked.

However, Bai Yuyu also had someone instructing him, and he wasn't afraid of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, saying:

"May I ask who Senior is, I am educating my own daughter, what business is it of yours?"

"How dare you! This Yuanfeng Talisman Shop is opened by me, Xu Yuanyuan. You stole my talismans and say it has nothing to do with me?"

Xu Yuanyuan shouted, and Sword Light shot out, taking the heads of the three men.

If it were normal times, Xu Yuanyuan's actions would surely have been questioned by the sect.

However, during the current Righteous-Demonic War, killing outsiders who steal property and resources and offend Foundation Establishment Cultivators is permissible.

Of course, there could have been a better way to handle this.

But Xu Yuanyuan simply didn't like Bai Fengting. Knowing that the person in front of her was Bai Fengting's father, she escalated a small matter into a huge one.

Since they had stolen talismans from the Talisman Shop, they would pay with their lives!

After killing the three people, Xu Yuanyuan said to Bai Fengting with a smug look:

"I've solved these troubles for you, shouldn't you thank me properly?"

Bai Fengting was already stunned by the incident and didn't know what to do.

Although Bai Yuyu was too arrogant this time, did he really have to be killed?

Seeing that Bai Fengting didn't speak, Xu Yuanyuan became very angry. She grabbed Bai Fengting's face with one hand and said:

"Aren't you going to thank me quickly?"

"Thank you, Senior Xu, for saving my life."

Bai Fengting said helplessly.

Hearing the apology, Xu Yuanyuan did not let go. Instead, she dragged Bai Fengting into a cave she had dug outside.

This cave was deep within the mountain and had a restriction blocking it, so no one outside knew what was happening inside.

After taking Bai Fengting to the depths of the secret chamber, Xu Yuanyuan began to cackle eerily.

She took out a thin rope and said with a smile:

"Sister Bai, the Owner is in seclusion now. It will probably be a few years before he comes out of seclusion."

Xu Yuanyuan slowly approached Bai Fengting, her face full of smiles.

Zhou Er had gone into seclusion to break through to the middle stage of Golden Core. Now she could properly teach Bai Fengting a lesson.

Let Bai Fengting compete with her for the Owner's favor.

Saying this, Xu Yuanyuan bound Bai Fengting according to her body shape and hung her up.

Watching Bai Fengting sway, Xu Yuanyuan was extremely happy. She took out a whip and cracked it twice in the air, making a "snap, snap" sound.

Before Zhou Er came out of seclusion, she could teach Bai Fengting a good lesson and let her know her place.

Xu Yuanyuan whipped Bai Fengting. A red mark appeared on Bai Fengting's fair skin, and her body trembled.

Bai Fengting pursed her lips and remained silent, looking at Xu Yuanyuan with a stubborn expression.

Xu Yuanyuan used a series of methods. Three months later, she began to panic.

Bai Fengting actually refused to yield to her.

After letting her go, she would definitely complain to Zhou Er about how she had humiliated her.

If Zhou Er knew she had treated Bai Fengting like this, he would definitely not let her off easily.

Thinking of her possible fate, Xu Yuanyuan became flustered.

At the same time, she was also a little excited.

If she could be treated like this by Zhou Er, how happy would that be.

Thinking of this, she trembled with excitement.

However, this was not the worst outcome.

Perhaps, Zhou Er would kill her directly.

Therefore, this matter could not be exposed.

So, after continuing to confine Xu Yuanyuan in this place, she went to deal with Bai Fengting's matters herself, creating a false impression.

Pretending that Bai Fengting was taken away by the Bai Family Members, and that she knew nothing about it.

Half a year later, Zhou Er came out of seclusion. While Lin Shiyu was busy researching alchemy, he pretended to go sell talismans, but in reality, he went to find Bai Fengting.

When he arrived at the Talisman Shop, he learned from a clerk that Bai Fengting had not been to the Talisman Shop for almost a year.

"Ever since Shopkeeper Bai's father came to cause trouble, Shopkeeper Bai has disappeared," the clerk told Zhou Er.

Zhou Er didn't say much. He just put down the talismans and went to find Xu Yuanyuan.

As soon as he entered Xu Yuanyuan's Cave Mansion.

Xu Yuanyuan was wearing a close-fitting Light Luo Dance Attire. The neckline was slightly open, and her waist was extremely slender, perfectly outlining her delicate and graceful figure. The daylight fell on her, her skin was as lustrous as jade, emitting a faint soft glow.

There was no noisy music indoors, only the occasional light chime of the Eave Wind Chime. She followed the faint sound and began to dance slowly.

Her dance steps were not as neat and rigorous as those of the Palace Musicians. Her every gesture and turn carried a hint of casualness and freedom. Occasionally, her steps would sway lightly, and her waist would twist softly as if boneless, exuding immense charm.

Her wide sleeves fluttered, revealing a section of her slender, fair wrist. The hem of her skirt flowed with her movements, making her appear even more graceful and alluring.

Her eyes were lowered, and the Pearl Flower by her temples trembled slightly. Although her movements were not perfect, every one of them was deeply charming, carrying a hint of deliberate coyness and seduction.

The clear daylight filled the room. Every frown and smile of hers was captivating.

Only when Zhou Er approached her did Xu Yuanyuan stop dancing.

The already thin Dance Attire on her body slipped off piece by piece, revealing alluring runes faintly visible on her skin, shimmering in the sunlight.

Xu Yuanyuan immediately knelt before Zhou Er, shouting:

"Owner!"

This woman had learned quite a few seductive techniques during Zhou Er's absence, making him feel a bit parched.

Couldn't find it by searching the book title, you can try searching the author, maybe the name was just changed!
