Chapter 258: Shake the Jade Bell Cauldron, and Dong Jiaxu Becomes an Obedient Puppet

How come two people are missing?

I knock! Sun God, Sun God, you have two noobs falling behind!

The live stream's viewer count kept climbing, and as the audience followed Li CanYang's constantly switching camera angles, they noticed that a man and a woman who had been trailing behind had vanished at some point.

In an instant, an eerie atmosphere was created, and Li CanYang was happier than anyone; he hadn't expected that Young Master Dong and his friend would be so cooperative, producing a show effect right from the start, causing the live stream's popularity to jump significantly.

Lu Shanshan pouted dissatisfiedly beside him, 'CanYang brother, let's go our own way; let those who fell behind go their own way.'

With fewer people, the camera would focus more on her; for her, being able to show her face in a live stream with millions of fans was a rare opportunity to gain followers.

Li CanYang originally wanted to go back to find someone, but after Lu Shanshan said that, the number of comments in the live stream surged, making him realize this was another hot topic.

Holy shit, this woman is ruthless, actually thinking of abandoning her comrades!

It's those two who didn't keep up; who can you blame?

Sun God, keep going, follow your own pace.

……

On the third floor, Dong Jiaxu stared at comment after comment, his teeth itching with anger.

Lin Lin Mengye, let's ignore them; you say it, how do you want to explore? I'll accompany you.

Lin Lin Mengye had already put her phone away; she didn't care at all about those comments in the live stream.

She thought for a moment and said:

How about you go down first to meet up with them, and I'll come find you later.

How could I do that? If I left a girl like you alone, I wouldn't be a man! Don't worry, if we encounter any danger, I'll protect you—I practiced taekwondo for three years in elementary school!

Lin Lin Mengye: ……

Suddenly, Dong Jiaxu stared at Lin Lin Mengye walking ahead of him, and a strange feeling arose.

Why don't you take out your phone to make some light? It's so dark here, can you see clearly?

The entire corridor was shrouded in darkness; even with Dong Jiaxu's phone light, it could only illuminate a small area, and the view ahead remained pitch black.

Lin Lin Mengye led the way ahead, walking as if on flat ground, not even touching the slightest obstacle.

On the contrary, Dong Jiaxu, with his phone light shining, had barely taken a few steps before bumping into things several times.

Hearing that, Lin Lin Mengye slightly furrowed her brows, secretly thinking this kid still had a bit of observational skill, having noticed something odd from him.

Outsiders coming here would naturally need light to see clearly; even someone with excellent night vision couldn't achieve what she does.

Based on cultivators' night vision, which is incomparable to ordinary people, she was actually so focused on the matter of the jade bracelet that she forgot to disguise herself.

Lin Lin Mengye, your night vision is amazing? You must have eaten a lot of carrots, right?

Dong Jiaxu saw Lin Lin Mengye not responding to him and couldn't help but tease.

He had long felt that Lin Lin Mengye was somewhat different, but couldn't pinpoint exactly how.

Today's outing actually let him discover a small secret of Lin Lin Mengye: her night vision far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Lin Lin Mengye didn't turn back, squinting her eyes as she thought, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck.

Taking advantage of the dark environment, Lin Lin Mengye directly took out the Jade Bell Cauldron from her space.

This Soul-controlling Bell Cauldron's effects had never been tested; with no one around and Dong Jiaxu being bold, it was perfect to try it on him.

From her experience using the Soul-beast Bell Cauldron, the two kinds of Jade Bell Cauldrons have comparable effects—both are mental control, and afterward they cause little harm to the controlled person.

This kid is also unlucky, rushing to be her experimental subject.

But think about it—how fortunate he is? To be the first person on Earth to experience a magical artifact, he's basically made it in this life.

The next second, Lin Lin Mengye gently shook the bell cauldron in her hand, its clear, ethereal sound seeming to come from a distant void, one after another, falling into Dong Jiaxu's ears.

What sound? So beautiful…… it sounds like…… master.

Dong Jiaxu had just heard the Jade Bell Cauldron's sound, and before he could say a complete sentence to Lin Lin Mengye, he felt his head go into a haze.

Immediately afterward, he completely lost his self-consciousness, bent sharply toward Lin Lin Mengye, and shouted 'Master'.

Lin Lin Mengye's eyes flashed, amazed at the artifact's effect—it made Dong Jiaxu obediently listen so quickly, and he seemed extremely loyal.

Ye Fan had said that the Soul-controlling Bell Cauldron, when used on a person, is easier to control the lower their cultivation; naturally, when used on ordinary people, the weaker their willpower, the easier they are to control.

Given Dong Jiaxu's speed in acknowledging a master, this kid's willpower can be said to be quite poor.

Lin Lin Mengye pursed her lips, looked at Dong Jiaxu shaking his head, and then said:

Just keep your original behavior; when someone's around, never call me Master.

As soon as Lin Lin Mengye's words fell, Dong Jiaxu seemed to receive a signal, suddenly reverting from his obedient demeanor back to his former state.

His eyes rolled, he scratched the back of his head and muttered.

Strange, what just happened to me?

After a moment of puzzlement, he looked up and saw Lin Lin Mengye, instinctively lowering his head a bit and proactively asking.

What should I do next?

Lin Lin Mengye stared at Dong Jiaxu for a while; indeed, she could see no trace of him being controlled—he was completely just as usual.

This Jade Bell Cauldron really works, but at the same time, she felt a pang of fear in her heart.

In the cultivation world, there truly are all kinds of magical artifacts; if someone with low cultivation encountered this Jade Bell Cauldron, they'd surely be shaken into a puppet, forever becoming a dog others could command at will.

Fortunately, this item is now in her hands, and she will not use it for evil.

Lin Lin Mengye? What's wrong? Are you okay?

Dong Jiaxu didn't forget to care for Lin Lin Mengye, his eyes full of worry.

Lin Lin Mengye shook her head: 'I'm fine; we'll split up to search this floor for a jade bracelet—let me know immediately if anything happens.'

Dong Jiaxu nodded, holding up his phone as he walked toward a nearby room.

Lin Lin Mengye also stopped wasting time; she wanted to find the jade bracelet before those people went upstairs, then make a quick getaway.

The sensation in her wrist had already disappeared, so Lin Lin Mengye could only search room by room.

With Dong Jiaxu as this helper, they in no time narrowed the scope down to the remaining three rooms.

At that moment, Dong Jiaxu saw the livestream screen; they had already begun exploring upstairs, and many viewers hoped that Yang Shen would go find the two missing persons.

Dong Jiaxu thought for a moment, then immediately found Lin Lin Mengye.

"They're coming up; I'll hold them off."

After only Lin Lin Mengye remained, she also let loose, quickly searched the remaining three rooms, and indeed found the jade bracelet in the interlayer of the mattress.

Just like the previous three bracelets, the moment she took hold, Lin Lin Mengye felt a scorching sensation on her wrist again.

She immediately stored the jade bracelet in her space, then, taking advantage of the night, leapt down from the third-floor window, swiftly vanished into the darkness, and left this place.

Having the jade bracelet in hand, she was more excited than anyone, needing to hurry back to complete its recognition as master.
