The first step of the plan has succeeded: the mother of the child of destiny has been brought into the God Realm, completing the preliminary preparations for domestication.
The second step is to guide him to join the Tang Sect and enter Shrek Academy...
The third step is to arrange for Xiao Qi to disguise herself as a boy and meet him...
Thinking of this, Tang San nodded to himself, feeling quite satisfied with his brilliant scheme...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Douluo Planet, Duke's Mansion.
Just at this moment, a series of thumping sounds suddenly came from outside the dilapidated woodshed.
"You little bastard, open the door quickly! The Duchess is in a good mood today and wants you to come over, kowtow twice, and clean the latrines. If you do, we'll reward you with two mouthfuls of dog food tonight."
Bang! Bang! Bang! The knocking grew increasingly violent.
Huo Yuhao's gaze turned cold.
But right then, the system's voice rang out once more.
[Ding, side quest released. The host has two choices.]
[Choice One: Beat the evil servant to death!]
[Reward: Profound-tier high-grade Dou Technique—Bajibeng.]
[Choice Two: The host chooses to fawn over the powerful, nod in submission, and linger on in a wasted existence.]
[Reward: Xiao Yan's personal calligraphy, "Do not bully the young because they are poor!"]
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate. He straightened his clothes and immediately looked at Xiao Wu beside him.
"Xiao Wu, I haven't had the chance to ask you yet, what is your Soul Power Level?"
Xiao Wu immediately replied: "Master, I am at the first ring."
As Xiao Wu finished speaking, a virtual screen suddenly appeared before Huo Yuhao's eyes.
[Name: Xiao Wu.]
[Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit (Note: Due to system plane enhancement, those below level 160 cannot perceive Xiao Wu's true form.)]
[Soul Power Level: 10]
[Soul Ring Acquisition Method: Can be obtained through relative quest rewards or by hunting Soul Beasts (Note: The first soul ring is automatically granted by the system.)]
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao quickly pulled his thoughts back.
"Xiao Wu, we're going to deal with that evil servant in a moment. Get ready. Also, just call me Yuhao from now on."
Xiao Wu gave a sweet smile: "Alright, Yuhao."
Following that, Xiao Wu quietly hid to the side, readying herself for battle.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate either; he adjusted his robes once more and pulled the door open.
As the door swung open, an evil servant with a sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked face and a mouthful of yellow teeth instantly appeared before Huo Yuhao.
The servant looked at Huo Yuhao and immediately raised a hand to curse: "You little bastard, how long have I been knocking? You only just..."
Huo Yuhao raised his hand to cut the servant off. Enduring the foul stench coming from the man's mouth, he gestured for him to come closer and said, "Hey, come here, come closer."
The servant was stunned.
Huo Yuhao continued: "I have Gold Soul Coins."
The servant's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously took a few steps forward.
At that very moment, Huo Yuhao pulled something from his robes and held his hand out in front of the man.
Then, under the servant's heavy, expectant breathing, Huo Yuhao opened his five fingers—it was completely empty.
The servant flew into a rage: "You brat, you dare to play me? You really don't know how to write the word 'death'."
As the servant finished speaking, he immediately activated his Martial Soul to intimidate him.
Behind him, a flashy, oversized hoe suddenly appeared.
Immediately after.
A snow-white, as ordinary as could be, white soul ring erupted into view.
At this moment, the servant felt elevated, as if he had been baptized by the soul ring.
He looked at Huo Yuhao with a ferocious expression.
But at that exact moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the servant.
"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"
As Xiao Wu finished her words, a yellow soul ring instantly manifested, and she kicked the servant hard in the lower back.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate for a second; he drew the White Tiger Dagger and slashed it across the servant's throat.
With a sharp "shhh" sound, blood gushed out like a fountain!
Huo Yuhao sliced through the wicked servant's neck.
But this was far from over; he took out the White Tiger Dagger, aimed it at the servant's chest, and stabbed down fiercely...
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Huo Yuhao spat out the word "fuck" three times, the White Tiger Dagger in his hand plunging directly into the servant's heart with each strike.
Finally, the wicked servant twitched twice before drawing his last breath.
Immediately after, without a moment's hesitation, Huo Yuhao looked toward the window at the back of the room and spoke to the system: "System, is it time for me to head to the Star Dou Forest to find the big worm and Electrolux?"
[Ding! Mission transmitted. Profound-tier high-grade Dou Technique—Bajibeng—transmission complete.]
[Ding! Option Mission One: Head north and search for your missing father.]
[Reward: Tier 1 Wood-attribute Magic Core]
[Ding! Option Mission Two: Rely on your own wit to "persuade" the White Tiger Duchess to sleep with you; attempting to cram study is suicide, continue to survive in the shadows.]
[Mission Reward: Dou Technique, Xizhang (Incomplete Version), can cultivate two fingers—Beautiful Lady Joy Finger]
[Ding! Option Mission Three: Head to the Star Dou Forest and find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.]
[Reward: Determined by the scale of the destiny encountered]
As the system mission transmission finished, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate. He grabbed Xiao Wu's small hand, jumped out the window, vaulted over the wall, and headed straight for the Star Dou Forest...
At this moment, inside the woodshed, an unknown amount of time had passed.
A maid fetching water suddenly let out a shrill scream...
Two hours later, inside the main hall of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.
A woman with a bewitching figure sat in the seat of honor, a faint smile hanging on her lips, appearing gentle on the surface.
However, this smile faintly revealed a sense of malice and madness.
This person was none other than the White Tiger Duchess.
Kneeling before her was the maid who had discovered the servant's corpse earlier.
Beside her stood a guard who had just finished examining the body.
The guard looked at the White Tiger Duchess, immediately knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and spoke.
"Duchess, the deceased had his throat slit with one blade and his heart pierced by three stabs; the attacker was ruthless."
"Additionally, the deceased suffered a heavy blow to the waist. Judging by the force, it should have been the work of a man."
The Duchess's eyelids lifted slightly as she said, "Are you saying that little bastard Huo Yuhao has an accomplice?"
The guard lowered his head slightly and nodded respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the Duchess's lips curled upward, and a moment later, she muttered to herself.
"It seems that little bastard Huo Yuhao has actually managed to acquire some skills right under my nose."
As the White Tiger Duchess said this, a cold, sinister smile hung on her lips.
She could eliminate Huo Yuhao's mother without a sound, but it was not easy to lay a hand on Huo Yuhao himself.
After all, Huo Yuhao carried the White Tiger bloodline.
Following that, the Duchess spoke again: "Does that dead servant have any relatives? Are there any Soul Grand Masters worth mentioning?"
Hearing this, the guard thought for a moment and immediately replied: "The deceased has two older brothers, both of whom are two-ring Soul Grand Masters!"
"Two-ring Soul Grand Masters."
The White Tiger Duchess scoffed disdainfully as she said this.
However, she did not hesitate for long and spoke indifferently:
"Have someone notify those two. Tell them their brother was killed by a bastard, and give them a portrait of Huo Yuhao."
"Two two-ring Soul Grand Masters are more than enough to kill that brat."
As the White Tiger Duchess said this, she stood up and stretched, her slender figure outlined clearly, and walked toward the backyard...
She wanted Huo Yuhao dead.
But having these two brothers do the deed would be more appropriate.
At the very least, it would pass as a vendetta, and even if word leaked out, it wouldn't be traced back to her.
Of course, if those two ended up dead, she would have to take this matter seriously.
She had to make sure Huo Yuhao died.
