Subduing Jiang Nannan

"What is this?"

"Why is this happening?"

Jiang Nannan's voice cut off abruptly.

Her eyes fixed on Le Zhengyue. She had already figured out that the direction was where the Mysterious Underworld Sect was.

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

"Xu Sanshi may already be dead, or at least very close to it."

"So, Miss Jiang Nannan, what have you decided?"

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

"If you're willing, I can treat your mother and provide you with a good education and resources, so you can reach the Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo realm faster."

As he spoke, Le Zhengyue rose to his feet. He was a head shorter than Jiang Nannan, but the force in his gaze was in no way inferior.

Feeling his presence, Jiang Nannan's own gaze hardened. The aura of a Super Douluo radiated from her, though she didn't release it fully. Le Zhengyue, meanwhile, was completely unbothered by it.

"Your strength is formidable, but so what?"

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

"Do you know where to find a professional physician to care for her and treat her?"

Le Zhengyue paused. He looked straight at Jiang Nannan, the warmth gone from his eyes, replaced by a chill. Then he casually gestured around them.

"Do you think you can save your mother in this dump?"

"With your Super Douluo strength? How long can you keep that power up?"

"And have you thought about what you'll face once you lose it?"

Le Zhengyue's voice was soft, but he didn't retreat a single step. Even as Jiang Nannan's terrifying aura pressed against him, his gaze remained ice-cold.

Jiang Nannan had no real choice. If she didn't want her mother to die, she could either become Xu Sanshi's woman, bear the infamy, and let everyone think she was a bad woman, or just a thoroughly rotten person.

Or she could leave with him and become his woman instead, with his guarantee that he wouldn't touch her before she came of age.

Jiang Nannan had once had a choice. But now that the Mysterious Underworld Sect had been destroyed and Xu Sanshi had even been taken away, she had none at all.

As she listened to Le Zhengyue, Jiang Nannan's fingers curled into fists. She stared straight at him as the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul slowly appeared behind her.

Compared to the Soft Bone Rabbit she once had, this little rabbit had changed enormously. It had clearly evolved into a much more powerful form.

Le Zhengyue's eyes flickered as he looked at it. Clearly, the returning Shrek Seven Devils, including Jiang Nannan, had also received a tremendous boost—an almost unbelievable one.

They not only retained their original memories, but could also wield the strength of Super Douluos for a short time. Their Martial Souls had also improved, so in this life, they should find it much easier to achieve greatness than in their last.

However, these Shrek Seven Devils didn't have a system at present.

Or perhaps, if they were ranked by importance, the Shrek Seven Devils weren't all that significant.

Aside from the current male and female leads, the Shrek Seven Devils were actually less important than some of the major supporting characters.

For instance, in the era of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were far more important than people like Zhu Zhuqing. Their status was simply much higher.

And it seemed the same was true in this era—or perhaps it was true of every era.

As Le Zhengyue stood lost in thought, Jiang Nannan's lips moved faintly. She bit down lightly on her lower lip, still hesitating.

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

Jiang Nannan stared blankly at the angels, feeling the auras of two peak Super Douluos.

One was level 98, the other level 97. These were among the most terrifying auras a Super Douluo could possess.

Jiang Nannan's eyes remained fixed on them. Then she saw the old man abruptly raise his hand, and a terrifying strike crashed down.

The two sides were five or six kilometers apart, but even so, the attack, terrifying beyond words, descended without the slightest restraint.

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

If she had once dared to attack the boy, she no longer even considered it. She knew that if she laid a hand on him, what awaited her would be anything but pleasant.

"Tell me your terms."

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

"And what will I have to give up?"

Jiang Nannan's voice was soft. She bit her lip lightly, her face bearing the look of someone who had been humiliated.

Seeing that expression on Jiang Nannan, Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched.

"It's simple. I can take your mother with me, and take you both to the third continent."

"It has the most advanced medical care—far beyond anything you have here."

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

Le Zhengyue's voice was calm. To him, this was really nothing at all.

Hearing him, Jiang Nannan lowered her head and didn't answer. She simply waited for him to continue.

"Later, I'll go study at Shrek Academy. You can come as my classmate, but in reality, you'll be my maid."

"Of course, I can provide whatever resources you need. Rare pills, thousand-year-old spirit herbs—anything you need, I can supply."

"And besides that, I promise I won't touch you before you come of age."

Jiang Nannan's expression hadn't changed at all during the first part of his offer. But when he reached that final condition, her eyes flew open. She stared at Le Zhengyue in disbelief, her gaze full of incredulity.

She had near-absolute confidence in her beauty. No man could resist her.

If she hadn't become Xu Sanshi's woman from the start, then after Huo Yuhao showed his talent, she might have gotten together with him—or chosen someone with even better prospects.

So she found it hard to imagine that someone could face her and calmly say he wouldn't touch her before she turned eighteen and came of age. She could hardly believe it.

She even thought Le Zhengyue was lying to her. After all, if she went with him, she would be in his hands. He could torment or humiliate her however he pleased, and she would have no way to resist.

But judging by her experience and the boy before her, she could see the calm, natural expression in his eyes.

He wouldn't lie—or perhaps he simply considered lying beneath him.

He seemed to have a certain dignity that made him disdain lying or making excuses to someone like her.

Meeting the boy's pure gaze, Jiang Nannan fell silent for a long moment. At last, she lowered her head slightly.

"I'm willing to become your woman."

"But I hope you'll keep your promise. Before I come of age, I won't give myself to you completely."
