Collar?
Lu Chu Yue was startled when she heard this. She took a step back and looked at Lu An in shock and fear.
She remembered that her brother had told her that the so-called 'collar' was a very evil thing. It was a very important means for humans to control strange beasts to obey orders. As long as the collar was worn on the neck, humans could control the collar to pressure strange beasts. The strange beasts had almost no ability to resist. It was very cruel!
She did not expect that Lu An would say such words to her. How could she not be shocked? In an instant, her heart turned cold. She originally had a good impression of Lu An.
Looking at Chu Yue's appearance, Lu An did not continue and said, "If you don't like it, then stay here. I'll find a way to send you back. You rest first. I'm leaving. "
With that, Lu An turned around and left. However, just as he was about to leave, an ethereal voice suddenly came from behind. She asked, "Will you harm me?"
Lu An's body trembled slightly. He stopped and turned to look at the girl. He said, "No."
"Then why do you want me to wear the collar?" Chu Yue's blue eyes looked at Lu An as she questioned.
"For my safety." Lu An did not hide and said.
"…"
Although Lu Chuyue was cute, she wasn't stupid. She understood what Lu An meant. Between the two of them, one of them had to choose to believe in the other, and Lu An obviously didn't want to be that person.
"I'll wear it." Chu Yue said.
Lu An was startled again. His eyes were full of surprise.
"Where is it? Give it to me. "Chu Yue stretched out her hand and said.
Lu An looked at Chu Yue's palm. He took a light breath and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
With that, Lu An turned around and left the courtyard. He did not have a collar at all, so he had to find Xu Yunyan to buy it.
Under the crescent moon, for half a month, Lu Chu Yue stood quietly in the room without moving. The moonlight shone on her body, making her dark blue clothes appear even darker. Her long hair also seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.
After a long time, Lu An finally returned. When he entered the house and saw the young girl still standing where he had left her, Lu An's heart sank. He felt guilty, but he still walked up to the young girl.
Lu An placed the collar in front of him and said, "Here you go."
Chu Yue looked at the collar in front of her, which was made of an unknown metal. It looked particularly depressing under the moonlight.
"I want to remind you that once this collar is put on, unless I do it myself, you won't be able to take it off with your strength. Moreover, once you put it on, you can only maintain your human form and can't revert back to your human form, "Lu An said seriously. That's right, unless it was a Rank Seven Mystical Beast, a Rank Six Mystical Beast would never be able to break free by itself. The collar he had bought was also better than ordinary ones. With the Life Wheel as the switch, it was impossible for others to take off the collar.
The moonlight shone in through the window. Chu Yue looked up at Lu An. Without saying anything, she reached out and took the collar. When the collar was in her hand, she suddenly felt cold.
She separated the collar and raised her hand. Two semicircular metal rings covered her beautiful neck. Then, with a click, they closed.
In an instant, the collar shone brightly and even began to tighten rapidly. It didn't stop until it was completely attached to her skin.
The cold chill penetrated her skin, as if reminding Lu Chu Yue that she had been bound by someone else. She looked up at Lu An and said, "Are you done now?"
"…" Lu An looked at the young girl, took a breath and said, "I'm sorry."
Chu Yue didn't say anything, but she was no longer as lively as before. She said, "I'm a little tired. I want to rest."
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said, "Then I won't disturb you. If you need anything, just look for me."
After that, Lu An left the courtyard, leaving Lu Chu Yue standing alone under the moonlight. After a long time, she finally moved. She walked to the table, picked up the mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror and the collar on her neck.
She was indeed very sad. When she was at home, it was too boring. Her family didn't let her make friends and didn't let others get close to her. All the outsiders she knew deliberately avoided her. She was very lonely, so she ran out.
She wanted to make friends. She thought that Lu An was her first friend, but she didn't expect that it would end up like this.
However, after a while, she suddenly realized that this collar seemed to be a little beautiful.
This collar was indeed very beautiful. There were very beautiful patterns on it, and it was also inlaid with a variety of gems. Even if other humans looked at it, it looked more like some kind of accessory. No one would think that it was a collar.
Lu Chu Yue didn't look at it anymore and put down the mirror. She sat on the bed. She didn't know what she was doing. For the first time, she thought, was it right or wrong for her to leave home.

The next day.
Montenegrin Empire, Black Emperor City.
For the nobles and rich merchants of Black Emperor City, today was a big day. There was no other reason, it was the official opening day of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce.
Ever since the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce bought half a street, it had been a full 20 days since the preparations were completed. On the 21st day, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce officially opened. The various chambers of commerce that had been waiting for the news came to congratulate them. A chamber of commerce that owned half a street was already considered very big in Black Emperor City. Furthermore, who didn't know about the relationship between Liu Yi and the Third Young Master?
On the day of the grand opening, the entrance to the Nacrelight Chamber of Commerce's headquarters was as busy as a marketplace. Carriages and congratulatory gifts filled the streets. As the master of the Nacrelight Chamber of Commerce, Liu Yi naturally had to greet everyone that came to congratulate her. Just as Liu Yi was smiling and chatting with the various presidents of the chambers of commerce, someone suddenly shouted from outside.
"Chu Yun of the Radiant Chamber of Commerce has arrived!!"
As soon as the announcement was made, all the guests on the street and in their houses immediately stood up and looked outside. As expected, Chu Yun walked down from a luxurious carriage. Her clothes and posture were very elegant, dazzling many men.
The crowd automatically opened up a path for Chu Yun to walk through, and she walked up to Liu Yi. The presidents around Liu Yi also moved aside. Chu Yun smiled and said, "Congratulations, little sister Liu."
"Don't mention it, big sister Yun." Liu Yi also smiled and said, "Please come in."
Looking at the two outstanding beauties standing together, these men's hearts were about to be drunk. However, they all knew that they would never be able to get close to these two women in this lifetime, so they were more concerned about the relationship between these two women. Seeing the two women holding hands so intimately, only then did everyone realize that their relationship was not shallow.
They thought that only the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce would come to congratulate them, but the first one to come was the Prince Shuo Chamber of Commerce.
"Where's the Third Young Master?" Chu Yun looked around and asked, "He's not here yet?"
"Nope." Liu Yi shook her head and said.
"This person likes to be in the limelight. He will only appear when everyone is here. Maybe he's hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity!" Chu Yun said with a smile.
"Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce, Gao Liwu is here!"
As soon as the announcement was made, the people on the long street were shocked again. They didn't expect another one of the four major chambers of commerce to come. Even the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce was here! Not to mention them, even Liu Yi and Chu Yun who were in the room felt the same.
"Gao Liwu is Gao Liwen's younger brother, the third son of the Gao Family." Chu Yun said. "You're a guest."
Liu Yi nodded and walked out of the door to greet Gao Liwu. She said, "It's the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's honor to have Young Master Gao here."
Gao Liwu and Gao Liwen looked similar, and they both had sharp faces. However, Gao Liwu lacked Gao Liwen's shrewdness. Gao Liwu looked at Chu Yun, who was standing behind Liu Yi, and didn't say anything. He only said, "The gifts are at the back. Congratulations!"
After he finished speaking, Gao Liwu strode into the Chamber of Commerce and found a first-class seat to sit down with an arrogant look on his face.
"Ignore him." Chu Yun glanced at Gao Liwu and said, "He doesn't have any status in the Gao Family. He's even lower than his second brother. He's just a playboy."
Liu Yi nodded. She didn't look at Gao Liwu anymore, and continued to greet the guests.
At that moment, another shout came from outside. "Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, Liu Shou is here!!"
The Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce is here too?!
Everyone was shocked. Liu Shou was the young master of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce. He rarely showed his face, but he was here to congratulate the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce.
Three of the four chambers of commerce were here. Plus, the last chamber of commerce was here. Didn't that mean that the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce was related to all four chambers of commerce?! It had never happened before that the four chambers of commerce were on the same side!
Chu Yun was also surprised by Liu Shou's arrival. She followed Liu Yi to Liu Shou. After Liu Yi spoke, she asked, "Brother Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Shou looked at Chu Yun and said helplessly, "Someone forced me to come. How could I not come?"
With that, Liu Shou looked inside and asked, "Is the person who forced me to come here?"
"Don't you know his personality?" Chu Yun laughed and said, "Just wait. We're all here. He'll be here soon."
As expected, before she finished speaking, a loud shout came from the sky.
"Shaoling Chamber of Commerce, Ouyang Yi is here!"
