Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 30 A Woman's Heart is Like a Needle at the Bottom of the Sea

After Huo Yuhao left, the three women were left in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Nanmen Yun'er and Wu Feng Ningtian had only met yesterday and weren't particularly close. At this moment, he could only cautiously look back and forth at the two women, waiting for them to speak first.

"Ahem, Fengmei, judging from your aura, did you advance in rank last night?" Ning Tian coughed awkwardly, breaking the silence in the room.

"Yes, I leveled up." Wu Feng lowered his head, his face so red it looked like it could drip water.

"Cough, I didn't expect Huo Yuhao's physique to be so special, that he can draw on life energy to help people advance." Ning Tian sighed. "Yun'er and I also went to his bedside last night, and our soul power increased by half a level. At this rate, I'm confident that I can advance five to six levels before Shrek Academy's freshman assessment in three months."

"I should be able to break through to the Soul Master level..." Nanmen Yun'er blinked weakly and murmured softly.

"So, Huo Yuhao really is a treasure." Wu Feng's blush faded a little. Recalling his domineering advances not long ago and the guy's gentle response, a rare gentleness appeared on his face as he smiled foolishly.

"Feng Mei, you..." Ning Tian saw the expression on Wu Feng's face and immediately had a bad feeling. "You wouldn't have fallen for that Huo Yuhao guy, would you?"

"How could that be? Those skinny, short-legged bean sprouts, I..." Wu Feng arrogantly raised her fist, but before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the disdainful looks Ning Tian and the other person were giving her.

"Wha...what happened?"

Do you think we believe that?

Finally, Ning Tian stepped forward and patted Wu Feng on the shoulder, "I have sent people to thoroughly investigate Huo Yuhao's background. Once there are results, I will inform you immediately. If conditions permit, I will try to bring him to our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Bring him to the sect..." Wu Feng's beautiful eyes lit up, then she seemed to have thought of something, and her gaze towards Ning Tian became somewhat scrutinizing, "Ning Tian, ​​are you also...?"

Ning Tian didn't deny it, "He is indeed very outstanding. He's probably just one spirit ring away from becoming a Soul Master at less than twelve years old. You know, as the current successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the partner I need..."

"No! He's mine!" Wu Feng cried out unwillingly, his voice even sounding like he was about to cry. Ning Tian immediately tried to comfort him in a flurry of activity.

"It's yours, it's yours. Let's see how things go first; we haven't investigated his background yet."

"Um... does Yuhao like cute girls...?" Nanmen Yun'er asked cautiously, shrinking into a corner.

……

Huo Yuhao was naturally unaware that his departure had triggered a chaotic scene. His purpose today was to host Shrek City's monthly Treasure Appreciation Event, organized by some of Shrek City's major merchants. As the commercial center of the continent, Shrek City frequently hosts trade transactions with merchants from various countries. When Shrek City's merchants receive valuable items, they first hold a Treasure Appreciation Event for Shrek Academy.

Essentially, the students select the items first, and only what remains after the students have chosen is auctioned off.

Treasure Hunts are mainly divided into three types. The first type is held for academies, where the academies make the purchases. For example, various rare metals needed for the development of the Soul Guidance Department, and some teaching supplies used by the Martial Soul Department. There are also items ordered by the academies, precious ingredients, and so on.

Not all students at Shrek Academy are wealthy, and one of the benefits of the Treasure Hunt is that it allows for credit. The core disciples of the outer academy have a graduation rate of over 95%. And those who graduate from the outer academy are highly sought-after talents, regardless of their country or industry. This is because a four-ring Soul Master level is the primary requirement for graduation from the outer academy.

Therefore, these merchants are essentially investing in the students. They sign a contract with the students who purchase the goods, agreeing to repay the loan annually according to the agreed-upon date. They can even postpone repayment until after the student graduates, charging only a small amount of interest.

If you benefit from someone's deal, and that person asks you for something or encounters difficulties, can you refuse to help them? If they want to hire you, can you refuse? This is a business's tactic of moral blackmail.

These merchants are shrewd; they wouldn't do a losing business. If a student passes the assessment to become a core disciple and enters the inner academy, their benefits will increase. No interest needs to be paid; they only need to repay the principal within the stipulated time. Moreover, there are various ways to repay.

Although Shrek Academy is located within Shrek City, it is not connected to Shrek City. In other words, Shrek Academy does not have a back gate connecting it to Shrek City.

As one of the most prosperous economic centers on the continent, Shrek City is extremely bustling. With a total population approaching five million, it rivals the capitals of several major empires. Huo Yuhao walked along the main road, curiously looking to both sides. The main road in Shrek City was extremely wide, large enough to accommodate eight carriages side-by-side. Its grandeur and magnificence were truly breathtaking and broadened his horizons.

The map Huo Yuhao bought was extremely accurate, and the streets of Shrek City were very well-organized and easy to find. After walking for about fifteen minutes, they saw the location of the Treasure Pavilion, the venue for the Treasure Appreciation Event.

This Treasure Pavilion is a large shop that sells all kinds of items related to Soul Masters and Soul Instructors. From a distance, the Treasure Pavilion is a huge building with four floors and a height of over twenty meters. The building itself occupies a large area and its exterior is magnificent and golden, just like a treasure basin.

Such a luxurious building was nothing to Huo Yuhao, who had transmigrated here. However, when he saw the four girls in long dresses standing on either side of the entrance to the Treasure Pavilion, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

These young women in long dresses, clearly responsible for reception, appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with sweet faces and slender figures. Their lower bodies were obscured by long skirts, but their upper bodies were bare, their shoulders exposed, their full breasts tightly covered, revealing a noticeable cleavage. Their fair skin was even more alluring against the backdrop of the magnificent, golden architecture of the Treasure Pavilion. Huo Yuhao was immediately stunned, feeling a dryness in his throat.

"Cough cough!" The sound of Bibi Dong coughing violently suddenly echoed in my mind.

"Why are you coughing so loudly?" The loud cough snapped Huo Yuhao out of his daze. He looked into his mind and saw Bibi Dong glaring at him.

"What are you looking at? You have so many beautiful women in your bed, and the Holy Spirit Cult has even assigned you a fiancée. Isn't that enough?" Bibi Dong said angrily.

Looking into Bibi Dong's alluring eyes, Huo Yuhao said innocently, "Everyone loves beauty, I was just looking. These ladies are really beautiful."

"Hmph! Is it pretty?" Bibi Dong looked disdainful, somewhat hesitant to speak, but ultimately held back.

Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Fine, I won't look anymore. Now you won't even let me look at pretty girls. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Bibi Dong ignored him, so Huo Yuhao could only continue striding towards the Jubao Pavilion.

Before he even reached the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, one of the eight young women at the door came out to greet him with a faint smile. She stopped beside Huo Yuhao and respectfully asked, "Is this Soul Master here to attend the Treasure Appreciation Gathering?"

Wearing Shrek Academy's uniform, Huo Yuhao was easily recognized. Coupled with his unique melancholy temperament and aloof expression, he had already attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Huo Yuhao took out the invitation he had received from the academy and handed it over. After reading the invitation, the girl's smile softened even more. "This student, please follow me." As she spoke, she gestured for someone to lead the way and then walked ahead.

Clearly, even among the core disciples of Shrek Academy, few are as old as Huo Yuhao to attend the Treasure Pavilion's treasure appreciation event. As he walked through the girls, he felt curious gazes from both sides.

Huo Yuhao held his head high and said, "Look, look! I'm a heartthrob! Don't be obsessed with me!"

Stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, an atmosphere of luxury immediately envelops you. The golden hall exudes extravagance, its entire space shimmering under the light of crystal chandeliers hanging high in the ceiling. Two rows of young women also stand on either side of the hall.

Compared to the eight girls in long dresses outside, the girls inside, dressed in short gold skirts, were far more eye-catching. These girls were younger, and their skirts revealed very little fabric, exposing their fair, slender legs. Every single one of them was above average in appearance and had an excellent figure—curves in all the right places. The first impression of entering this golden hall was that it was like entering paradise on earth.

"Welcome, distinguished guests." The girls on both sides suddenly bowed at the same time. Looking at the girls who were all bowing at a ninety-degree angle, each revealing their cleavage, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a dry mouth.

When Huo Yuhao arrived here, he vaguely understood. As expected of a scourge on the continent, such a luxurious place was not a place that ordinary people could come to.

Although he didn't think there was anything good about this environment, his body was still that of a virgin as a teenager. With so many beautiful women in front of him, his physiological reaction gave him a strange feeling of his blood rushing.

Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt everything go black; his vision was blocked by a powerful mental force. Bibi Dong's voice followed, "If I'd known this place was like this, I wouldn't have let you come. It would have prevented you from going astray."

His Majesty is very angry, and the consequences will be severe. In order to appease His Majesty, I humbly beg all readers to bombard me with votes so that she can vent her anger!
