Recruiting Jiang Nannan

As for Huo Yuhao's current points, after completing the tasks for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, he had gained 30,000 and 80,000 points respectively, totaling 110,000 points.

Furthermore, recruiting another person would also grant him a point reward.

Immediately after, Huo Yuhao pulled back his thoughts, and at this moment, he gasped in surprise.

At this time, Xiao Wu had already taken advantage of the hazy moonlight to silently shed the clothes from her body.

Her delicate skin shimmered with a soft, gentle glow under the caress of the moonlight.

A head of jet-black hair cascaded down, spreading across her back, with some strands even reaching all the way to her perky, rounded buttocks.

This made Huo Yuhao feel a strange sense of obsessive-compulsive urge, wanting to reach out and brush the long hair off Xiao Wu's shapely backside.

Then, there were Xiao Wu's long, straight legs.

Those legs outlined an alluring arc under the moonlight.

That beautiful, exquisite body was revealed to Huo Yuhao without reservation...

Xiao Wu jumped directly into the water, her small head peeking out as she looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, this bathtub is quite large, let's wash together!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, inside a hidden and majestic mountain peak.

There was a grand palace situated within this mountain.

At the very top of the palace, a massive sculpture looked incredibly lifelike.

Inside the palace, there was a youth and a middle-aged man.

The youth had dyed his hair a pale yellow, a frivolous smile played on his lips, and he held a Mysterious Fan in his hand.

This person was none other than the young master of the Mysterious Underworld Sect, Xu Sanshi.

Opposite Xu Sanshi, the middle-aged man was his father, Xu Zhongyi.

Xu Zhongyi looked at Xu Sanshi and said, "Sanshi, you are already 15 years old, and school starts in three months."

"Before school begins, I have scouted some young women for you; it is time for your Mysterious Underworld Turtle martial soul to awaken."

Xu Sanshi nodded slightly: "Understood, but Father, can I choose these women myself? I have a junior schoolmate who is quite beautiful."

As Xu Sanshi spoke, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Nannan.

It wasn't for any other reason than that she was beautiful.

That point alone was enough.

Moreover, he had spent a short while pursuing Jiang Nannan, only to fail to win her over.

This instantly stirred up Xu Sanshi's competitive spirit.

Hearing Xu Sanshi say this, Xu Zhongyi didn't mind and spoke directly.

"The first candidate should ideally be someone from within our sect."

"After all, marriage alliances between sects are the norm and help in our mutual development."

"First, I considered the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"But that girl is a tomboy; given your tastes, you would definitely want someone beautiful, so I automatically ignored her."

"Furthermore, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has now become a second-tier sect, it is still not to be underestimated."

"Then there is the Skywater Sect. The predecessor of the Skywater Sect was the Skywater Academy from ten thousand years ago, and most of the people inside are top-tier beauties."

"The martial souls they possess are mostly water or ice attribute, which is relatively compatible with our Mysterious Underworld Sect. It's just that the Skywater Sect's influence is slightly weaker, but that is also a good thing; at least it makes them easier to handle."

Having said this, Xu Zhongyi took out an illustrated album.

After Xu Sanshi took the album, he instantly saw seven or eight young women and couldn't help but brighten up; each one was a stunning beauty.

But if it came to beauty, Jiang Nannan was still a bit more beautiful.

What Xu Sanshi wanted was beauty.

Of course, he didn't reject these seven or eight young women either.

Immediately, Xu Sanshi said: "Father, if possible, I have someone I have already chosen."

Hearing this, Xu Zhongyi smiled meaningfully: "You want that junior schoolmate one year below you, the one named Jiang Nannan, right? She is indeed a stunning beauty."

Xu Sanshi was surprised: "Father, you know about my affairs?"

Xu Zhongyi replied calmly: "You are my son and the young master of the Mysterious Underworld Sect; naturally, I must pay attention to you."

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up: "Then Father, what is your opinion?"

Xu Zhongyi: "Naturally, I will satisfy my precious son."

Xu Sanshi felt excited, but thinking of something, he continued to speak.

"But, that Jiang Nannan is very difficult to pursue."

Xu Zhongyi smiled with a meaningful expression: "I naturally have my own methods."

Xu Sanshi asked in confusion: "Father, what are you going to do?"

Xu Zhongyi replied: "I have already sent people to investigate Jiang Nannan's background. Her mother has recently fallen gravely ill. If she wants her to survive, she must beg our Mysterious Underworld Sect to bestow a medicinal pill upon her."

"And that Jiang Nannan is famously filial. To save her mother, she will naturally be willing to sacrifice her body to perform the ritual with you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi's eyes brightened once more.

"Then when will Father hold the ritual?"

Xu Zhongyi shook his head: "No rush yet."

Xu Sanshi countered: "Why?"

Xu Zhongyi replied: "That girl named Jiang Nannan is incredibly stubborn. She is currently trying every possible way to treat her mother. We must wait until she is at her wit's end before we make our move; the effect will be much better that way."

Xu Sanshi nodded upon hearing this.

However, very soon.

A tiny sliver of hesitation flickered in Xu Sanshi's heart.

Isn't doing this a bit like taking advantage of someone in distress?

But Xu Sanshi shook his head again; possess her first and worry about the rest later.

He didn't believe that after possessing her, he wouldn't be able to win Jiang Nannan over...

Just like that, Xu Sanshi began to wait patiently.

At this moment, Xu Zhongyi seemed to recall something and spoke up: "Right, you haven't been with a woman before, have you? Do you know how to go about it?"

Xu Sanshi's expression stiffened, and he waved his hand: "I naturally know."

Following that, Xu Sanshi walked out of the great hall with an indifferent air.

Xu Zhongyi's brows furrowed slightly.

He had an illusion, a constant feeling that his son didn't seem to understand much about this aspect.

If he were to go to the wrong place, that wouldn't be very good, after all, there are two holes...

Just like that, time slipped away bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, six days had passed.

At this time, in Thor City of the Heaven Dou Empire, a relatively prosperous city.

There were quite a few physicians here.

It was just early morning, and a medical clinic had not long since opened its Gate of Opening when a young girl rushed in, looking frantic. Her attire was disheveled, and her expression was filled with extreme anxiety.

But soon, she was forcibly driven back out.

At the same time.

A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked servant sneered with disdain: "Get lost! You only have a few copper soul coins on you, and you dare ask our great physician of Thor City to provide treatment? What kind of dream are you having? If you don't leave now, watch out, or I'll cripple your legs!"

As the man spoke, he directly revealed his martial soul, which was a cold, gleaming mace, and his soul ring naturally manifested as well—a bright white ten-year soul ring!

Seeing this situation, Jiang Nannan shook her head in disappointment.

As a three-ring Soul Elder, she could naturally defeat this servant, but she was in no mood to fight.

She walked to the side, heartbroken.

There was a cart here, and lying on the cart was a woman covered by a quilt, her face withered and sallow.

Seeing Jiang Nannan like this, the woman shed two lines of tears: "Nannan, stop worrying about me."

"In these past few days, we have already been to three cities. These clinics either refused to treat me because we had no money, or even if someone agreed to treat me, they said my illness was beyond saving."

"Nannan, listen to your mother, live well, do not go to the Mysterious Underworld Sect, and even more so, do not go against your conscience and wrong yourself."

Hearing this, Jiang Nannan was heartbroken to the extreme. She could no longer control herself, tears swirling in her eyes, before she threw herself into her mother's arms and wept bitterly.

At this moment, the woman smiled weakly, finally closing her eyes, her breathing growing faint.

Jiang Nannan sensed something was wrong, her heart panicking: "Mother, Mother, don't be like this, don't die! I... I can make you survive."

As Jiang Nannan spoke, she did not hesitate.

She thought of the Mysterious Underworld Sect, a desolate look appearing at the corner of her mouth, and finally, she gritted her teeth and made her choice.

She needed her mother to live.

But just at this moment, two figures were rapidly running toward this location...
