[Chapter 29: Sister Nannan Please Dance For Me]
In the teaching department, Du Weilun looked at Huo Yuhao standing before him, slightly stunned.
Huo Yuhao was planning to host a party at Sea God Lake in three days?
Though puzzled, Du Weilun still agreed to Huo Yuhao's request and assisted him with the necessary formalities.
"Yuhao, if you encounter any difficulties in organizing the party, feel free to come to the teaching department and find me."
Du Weilun spoke politely.
After all, even Elder Mu treated this young man with respect, so it was only natural for him to do the same.
"Thank you, Director Du."
After bidding farewell to Du Weilun, Huo Yuhao left the teaching department and headed toward Shrek City.
Hua Huo hadn't accompanied him to the teaching department but had gone to Shrek City ahead of him.
It was class time, so the corridors and playground were nearly empty.
Soon, Huo Yuhao arrived in Shrek City.
"With so many gold soul coins, how should I arrange this party?"
Two or three hundred thousand gold soul coins, it was impossible to spend all of it on ordinary food.
Soul beast delicacies, spiritual fruits, and drinks would have to be included!
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he spotted someone, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Hey~ Senior Jiang, please wait!"
With that, Huo Yuhao hurried forward and stopped a figure.
The girl appeared somewhat frail, yet her presence was strong, and her figure was slender...
Hearing his call, the girl paused and looked at the boy before her with a puzzled expression.
"Junior, do you know me?"
This girl was none other than Jiang Nannan, known as the "most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard."
Although it was Huo Yuhao's first time seeing her, he hadn't mistaken her identity.
"Hello, Senior Sister Jiang. As the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard, of course, I know you."
Huo Yuhao spoke politely.
"Hey, where did you come from, kid? How dare you flirt with my Nannan!"
Before Jiang Nannan could ask why Huo Yuhao had stopped her, a figure jumped out from the alley and shouted at him.
Though Huo Yuhao didn't know Jiang Nannan well, he wasn't a stranger to the situation either!
This girl was undoubtedly attractive, and the presence of a "hidden guardian" made it easy to guess her identity after sensing their aura.
Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Nannan's expression darkened, and a trace of fear flickered across her brows.
Nevertheless, she mustered the courage to retort, "Xu Sanshi, who is your Nannan? Call me by my name!"
"And you're following me again!"
Jiang Nannan was visibly angry as she spoke.
As a senior student, she had few theoretical classes.
Taking advantage of her free time, Jiang Nannan had come to Shrek City to work and study, taking on some temporary jobs.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sanshi had been following her again!
After hearing this, Xu Sanshi scratched his head but didn't back down.
He said bluntly, "Nannan, there are too many bad people out there. I'm just worried about your safety."
"You're the worst of them all! I don't need you to worry about me!"
Jiang Nannan retorted without hesitation.
Xu Sanshi: "Uh..."
Huo Yuhao watched the scene unfold before him, smiling silently without saying a word.
But since Xu Sanshi had no response from Jiang Nannan, he turned his attention to the junior who had "exposed" him.
"Tell me, kid, are you planning to harm Nannan? What exactly are you scheming?"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself: 'If I really had a plan, could you even stop it?'
Xu Sanshi: 'I'd have to try, even if I can't, because I'm the one who's... ahem.'
Seeing Xu Sanshi's aggressive demeanor, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and calmly explained his purpose.
"Senior Jiang, it's like this."
"I'm Huo Yuhao, the deputy-class monitor of Freshman Class 9. Our class is planning to hold a freshman party at Sea God Lake in three days."
"I heard that Senior Sister Jiang is the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard and that you're working part-time to support your studies. So, I came to invite you to perform a dance at our party."
"The reward is one thousand gold soul coins..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish, Xu Sanshi's face had already darkened!
He regarded Jiang Nannan as his woman, and here was this junior offering a thousand gold soul coins to have her dance in front of so many people?
Xu Sanshi grabbed Huo Yuhao by the collar and shouted angrily, "Kid, you've got some nerve!"
"Nannan doesn't need your money. Give it to me instead..."
"Okay, I agree!"
"???"
Xu Sanshi was stunned, his face filled with disbelief as he turned to look at Jiang Nannan.
Seeing her serious expression, Xu Sanshi asked in confusion, "Nannan, it's just a thousand gold soul coins. Is it really that serious?"
"They're asking you to sell your dignity!"
"Why should they get to watch you dance?"
Jiang Nannan glanced at Xu Sanshi.
As the young master of the Xuanming Sect, he couldn't possibly understand what a thousand gold soul coins meant to someone from a poor family.
"Sell my dignity?"
To obtain the Xuanwu Divine Pill worth 10,000 gold soul coins, she had already sacrificed far more than just her dignity.
If she had met Huo Yuhao earlier, if she had encountered such an opportunity sooner, she would only need to dance ten times to solve her problems.
It's just dancing, how could that be considered selling her dignity?
They had made it clear that they were inviting her because she was working part-time to support herself.
"Xu Sanshi, I've told you, I have nothing to do with you. Whatever decisions I make are none of your business!"
After saying this firmly, Jiang Nannan turned to Huo Yuhao, who was still being held by the collar, and said gently, "Huo Yuhao, right? I accept your invitation."
"That's great, Senior Jiang."
Huo Yuhao patted Xu Sanshi's hand, and Xu Sanshi, still in a daze, instinctively released his grip.
"Here's five hundred gold soul coins as a deposit."
He took out five hundred gold soul coins and handed them to Jiang Nannan, who accepted them with a nod.
This was a straightforward transaction.
They needed someone to liven up the party, and she needed the gold soul coins. All she had to do was dance.
Meanwhile, Xu Sanshi was trembling with anger and frustration, unable to put his feelings into words.
The woman he liked was going to dance for someone else!
How could the young master of the Xuanwu Sect be so desperate?
How could he let this happen?
It was humiliating!
"Kid, I challenge you to a duel!"
Xu Sanshi still retained a shred of rationality and didn't resort to violence in Shrek City.
If he could defeat Huo Yuhao in the arena, he'd see how this freshman party would proceed!
"Xu Sanshi!"
Before Jiang Nannan could finish, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and said, "Senior, according to the academy's rules, seniors aren't allowed to provoke juniors."
Xu Sanshi: "..."
There was indeed such a rule, but he couldn't care less at this point!
"However, if you're willing to bet two Mystic Water Pill and 50,000 gold soul coins, I'll have no problem fighting you."
Hearing this, Xu Sanshi took a step back, surprised.
How did this kid know he had the Mystic Water Pill?
As for the gold soul coins, they were secondary.
Was this some kind of conspiracy targeting him, Xu Sanshi?
