Subduing Jiang Nannan

"What is this?"

"Why is this happening?"

Jiang Nannan's voice cut off abruptly as she reached this point.

Her gaze locked onto Le Zhengyue, for she had already deduced that the direction he indicated was precisely where the Mysterious Underworld Sect was located.

Facing the disbelief in Jiang Nannan's eyes, Le Zhengyue's expression remained calm.

"Xu Sanshi is likely dead by now, or at the very least, teetering on the edge of death."

"So, Jiang Nannan, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Are you willing to become my handmaiden, or perhaps, my woman?"

"If you agree, I can treat your mother and provide you with an excellent educational environment and resources, allowing you to reach the level of Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo much faster."

Le Zhengyue stood up as he spoke; though he was a head shorter than Jiang Nannan, the aura in his eyes was not the least bit inferior.

Feeling his presence, Jiang Nannan's gaze hardened. A wave of energy belonging to a Super Douluo radiated from her body, though she did not release it fully. Le Zhengyue, however, remained entirely indifferent to this pressure.

"Your strength is impressive, but what use is it?"

"No matter how strong you are, can you save your mother?"

"Do you even know where to find professional apothecaries to nurse her back to health?"

Le Zhengyue paused here, his eyes fixed on Jiang Nannan. The warmth that had previously resided in them was replaced by a chilling coldness as he gestured casually at their surroundings.

"Do you really think you can save your mother in a trash heap like this?"

"Relying on your Super Douluo strength? How long can you maintain this power?"

"And have you considered what you will face once that power is gone?"

Le Zhengyue's voice was soft, yet he did not retreat a single step. Even as he felt Jiang Nannan's terrifying aura, his gaze remained icy.

Jiang Nannan truly had no choice. If she didn't want her mother to die, she would either have to become Xu Sanshi's woman—bearing the stigma and letting others view her as a fallen woman—or go with him and become his woman instead, though he had promised not to touch her until she came of age.

Originally, Jiang Nannan had options, but with the destruction of the Mysterious Underworld Sect and the abduction of Xu Sanshi, those choices had vanished.

Listening to Le Zhengyue, Jiang Nannan's fingers curled slightly. She stared directly at him as her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul slowly manifested behind her.

Compared to the original Soft Bone Rabbit, this little rabbit had undergone significant changes, clearly having reached a state of powerful evolution.

Watching the creature, Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered. It was evident that the returning Shrek Seven Devils had received a massive boost, a truly incredible enhancement.

Not only did they possess their original memories, but they could also unleash Super Douluo-level combat power in a short time, and their martial souls had been upgraded; they would surely achieve success far more easily in this life than in the last.

However, these Shrek Seven Devils currently possessed no system.

Or rather, if one were to rank them by importance, the Shrek Seven Devils were not actually key figures.

Beyond the male and female leads of the current era, the Shrek Seven Devils were inferior to certain major supporting characters.

Take the era of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, for example: both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue held far greater importance and status than people like Zhu Zhuqing.

It seemed the same held true for this era; indeed, it was a constant across all ages.

Watching Le Zhengyue lost in thought, Jiang Nannan's lips moved slightly. She bit her lip, still hesitating.

But in the next second, two massive angelic figures appeared in the sky.

Jiang Nannan stared blankly at the angels, sensing two auras belonging to the peak of the Super Douluo realm.

One at level 98, the other at level 97—these were the most terrifying auras a Super Douluo could possess.

Jiang Nannan's gaze remained fixed on the distance, where she saw the elder suddenly raise his hand and unleash a devastating strike.

The two sides were separated by five or six kilometers, yet the terrifying blow descended without the slightest restraint.

Jiang Nannan stood there in silence, her eyes fixed on Le Zhengyue.

If she had dared to strike the boy before, that thought had now vanished. She understood that if she attacked him, the consequences would be dire.

"State your conditions."

"If I become your woman, what can you give me?"

"And what must I lose?"

Jiang Nannan's tone was soft, her teeth biting her lip, her face etched with the sting of humiliation.

Seeing her expression, the corner of Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched.

"It's simple. I can take your mother away and bring you both to the third continent."

"It is the most medically advanced place in existence, far beyond anything you have here."

"Your mother can spend her remaining years there in comfort and live out her life in peace."

Le Zhengyue's voice was calm, for to him, this was a trivial matter.

Listening to him, Jiang Nannan kept her head bowed. She did not reply, waiting for him to continue.

"I will be attending Shrek Academy later. You can join as my classmate, but in reality, you will be my handmaiden."

"Of course, I can provide the resources you need. Whether it be rare medicinal pills or thousand-year spirit herbs, all of these can be supplied to you."

"Furthermore, beyond that, I can promise you that I will not touch you until you come of age."

When Le Zhengyue spoke the first part, Jiang Nannan's face remained expressionless, but the moment he mentioned the final condition, her eyes suddenly lifted. She gazed at Le Zhengyue with an expression of utter disbelief, her eyes filled with incredulity.

One must know that she possessed near-absolute confidence in her own beauty; with her looks, no man could resist her.

If she hadn't become Xu Sanshi's person from the very beginning, she might have even ended up with Huo Yuhao when he later displayed his talent, or perhaps she would have chosen someone with even greater potential.

Therefore, when someone now faced her and could so calmly utter such words—promising not to touch her until she reached adulthood at eighteen—it was something Jiang Nannan found unimaginable, or rather, something she dared not believe.

She even suspected that Le Zhengyue was lying to her; after all, once she went with him, she would fall into his hands, and she would be unable to resist however he chose to torment or humiliate her.

Yet, based on her experience, as she looked at the youth before her, she could see a calm and natural emotion within his eyes.

He would not lie, or perhaps, he disdained to lie.

He seemed to possess a sense of dignity that made him scorn the idea of lying to or making excuses to someone like her.

Meeting the youth's pure gaze, Jiang Nannan remained silent for a long while before finally lowering her head.

"I am willing to become your woman."

"But I hope you will keep your promise; I will not give myself to you completely until I come of age."
