Personal Maid Tang Yuehua

Upon hearing this, a deep sense of pride welled up in Tang Yuehua's heart; founding the Moonlight Pavilion and enrolling one hundred noble disciples each year was the most glorious achievement of her life.

One must know that the Moonlight Pavilion only accepted one hundred noble students annually, and for these one hundred spots, the nobles across the entire Heaven Dou Empire would practically break their heads trying to get in.

Because of her Moonlight Pavilion, the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire began to be stratified. To successfully graduate from the Moonlight Pavilion was equivalent to being gilded; only graduates who walked out of here could be called true nobles.

For true noble intermarriage, one did not look at who your parents were, because there were plenty of little lovers and illegitimate children among the nobility, and parents could prove nothing. Therefore, what they asked was whether you possessed a graduation certificate from the Moonlight Pavilion.

Forty percent of the gold soul coins earned by the Clear Sky Sect annually were also earned through her operation of the Moonlight Pavilion. The influence of her alone was no less than that of the entire Four Single-Attribute Clans!

This was what Tang Yuehua believed. While the influence of the Four Single-Attribute Clans was certainly not small, her connections within the noble circles of the Heaven Dou Empire were extensive; by befriending nobles and gathering their collective influence, it would not be low either.

As for what Salas said when he captured Tang Yuehua—that if not for the Clear Sky Sect behind her, she would have long since become the head courtesan of some brothel—Tang Yuehua did not take a single word of it to heart. Why should she believe the filthy lies of Martial Soul Hall?

"Moonlight Pavilion, This Seat will arrange a plot of land for you within Martial Soul Hall to continue your operations. You will recruit two hundred noble students annually from both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and ninety-nine point nine percent of the income generated by the Moonlight Pavilion shall be turned over to Martial Soul Hall."

Making money is nothing shameful. Tang Yuehua had, by her own strength, supported hundreds of people in the Clear Sky Sect, as well as an unknown number of soul beasts hidden in the mountain ranges. This individual money-making ability was likely unmatched by anyone else on the entire continent.

Letting Tang Yuehua recruit one hundred nobles each from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire annually could also let them know that Martial Soul Hall had no intention of unifying the continent.

What is the point of unifying the continent? This was inherently a vain and short-sighted act. Above the Douluo Continent lay the God Realm; no matter how majestic or supreme you were on the Douluo Continent, to a god, there was no need to even lift a finger. By simply bestowing a God-Bestowed Martial Soul upon someone, they could cause that person and their faction to be wiped off the face of the earth within decades.

One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the lower realm, meaning that if a god wanted to destroy the most powerful force in the lower realm, moving a finger for a few dozen days would suffice.

Just like how the Angel God passed down the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, allowing Martial Soul Hall to inherit it for tens of thousands of years, remaining the number one power on the continent.

Martial Soul Hall had generations of level 99 Limit Douluo, and if Martial Soul Hall were willing, they had the capability to unify the continent by force for tens of thousands of years; it was merely a question of whether they wanted to or not.

To Qian Daoliu, unifying the continent was as easy as splashing water.

A decapitation strike, the royal family in turmoil, various factions competing for the throne, the empire drifting in the wind and rain, all parties fighting to the death until they were bloodied—just as they were about to decide a winner, Martial Soul Hall would enter the scene forcefully, similar to how the Star Crown Family seized the throne of the Star Luo Empire in the second era, causing the empire to change hands.

Unifying the continent was truly a trivial matter. The undercover plan, the "civet cat for the crown prince" scheme—it was pure idiocy, something only a lunatic like Bibi Dong could think of.

What Martial Soul Hall truly needed to establish a firm foothold in was the God Realm. Standing firm in the God Realm required strength, and the strength of the Angel God was related to the power of faith; cultivating faith was the primary element.

Unifying the continent and cultivating faith were simply two different directions. As the saying goes, in this world, if there are no demon gods, no misfortune, and no disasters, why would the common people go to burn incense?

"Dream on!"

Tang Yuehua shouted in anger. Running the Moonlight Pavilion to make money for Martial Soul Hall was equivalent to working for Martial Soul Hall; she wasn't insane.

Qian Daoliu's expression remained calm as he said, "Very well. Martial Soul Hall does not keep useless people, and we are not short of one maid. Since I was once friends with Tang Chen, and Ji'er is currently unmarried, I will hand you over to Ji'er. Let's see if you can give birth to a child with both the Angel martial soul and the Clear Sky Hammer twin martial souls."

Although the Tang family was inherently evil and their bloodline was naturally filthy, Qian Daoliu was truly a bit curious. Tang Yuehua's Clear Sky Hammer possessed its own domain, which meant that Tang Yuehua's martial soul, like that of Yu Xiaogang, was a benign mutation, only lacking nutrition for the martial soul, which was why she was stuck at a certain level and unable to break through.

The evolved version of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the Radiant Sacred Dragon; what was the evolved version of the Clear Sky Hammer?

The teacup in Tang Yuehua's hand shattered on the floor. She stared fixedly at Qian Daoliu, looking like a chaste and righteous woman, and hissed, "Qian Daoliu, don't you dare! If you dare to do this, I will kill myself immediately!"

"Then go ahead. Those Tang family brats hid in that mountain range, leaving only you outside; it must have been for you to procure supplies. I will not break my promise to Tang Chen. Since they are hiding in that mountain range, my people in Martial Soul Hall will not lay a hand on them. But regardless of the reason, if any of them run out, my Martial Soul Hall will not be polite."

"I will give you three choices: either you run the Moonlight Pavilion for me and work properly for my Martial Soul Hall—those Clear Sky Sect disciples who have to come out to procure supplies because of you, I will treat them as your staff, and if they procure supplies, I will turn a blind eye."

"Or, you marry little Ji'er. My Martial Soul Hall will have a kinship with the Clear Sky Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect disciples coming out to procure supplies will be considered Martial Soul Hall giving face to our relatives."

"Or you can just go die. If the Clear Sky Sect dares to step out of that mountain range, for every disciple that comes out to procure supplies, Martial Soul Hall will kill them."

Qian Daoliu's tone remained completely flat throughout. At first glance, he gave Tang Yuehua three choices, but in reality, since Tang Yuehua did not know that the Clear Sky Sect had already been destroyed, she only had one.

Tang Yuehua sobbed. She loved her sect deeply; she could not abandon the task her father had entrusted to her for the sake of her own selfishness.

She loved Brother Hao deeply. Although she and Brother Hao were siblings and could not be together, she had already decided to remain unmarried for his sake and keep her chastity for a lifetime. If she were defiled by Qian Xunji, she would have failed Brother Hao and herself; living would be no different from being dead.

If Martial Soul Hall were to obtain the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, that would be an even greater sin for which she could never atone.

With no other choice, she could only choose to run the Moonlight Pavilion to make money for Martial Soul Hall.

Tang Yuehua prayed silently, Grandfather, please come back quickly. Brother Hao, hurry and cultivate to a level 99 Title Douluo, and come to Martial Soul Hall to take your little sister away.

She believed that when her grandfather became a god and returned in triumph, and Tang Hao reached level 99 Limit Douluo, they would certainly be able to destroy Martial Soul Hall. By then, everything Martial Soul Hall had squeezed out of her would have to be spat back out and returned to the hands of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Yuehua lowered her head, "I am willing to run the Moonlight Pavilion. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the Moonlight Pavilion's profits will be turned over to Martial Soul Hall."

"Very good."

Qian Daoliu took his feet out of the wooden bucket, used soul power to evaporate the moisture on them, and said, "Pour out the water, and clean up the floor."
