Chapter 4 Peace and Safety
Making and selling soul tools is no easy task.
Those rare metals are all very expensive, and there isn't always a way to buy them.
With only a few dozen gold soul coins on him, he probably couldn't even buy a pound of the most common metals.
Therefore, before accumulating enough gold soul coins, he could only rely on the low-cost grilled fish business to make a living.
After undergoing a brief check by the guards at the city gate, the mother and son stepped into the bustling city.
The streets were bustling with people.
Huo Yun'er looked around curiously, her eyes revealing a hint of unease about the new environment.
In contrast, Huo Yuhao appeared much more composed.
She simply followed quietly beside her mother, her eyes occasionally scanning the surroundings, as if she were observing something.
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up when he saw a blacksmith shop on the street corner.
He plans to make a living by selling grilled fish, which will require a custom-made grill.
So he took Huo Yun'er's hand and walked straight toward the blacksmith's shop.
After settling the matter of the furnace at the blacksmith's shop, the two began to look for a suitable place to stay.
However, Huo Yuhao considered that once they made money in the future, they would definitely move to a bigger and better house.
Therefore, there is no rush to rent a house long-term at the moment.
Tiandou City is, after all, the capital of the Tianhun Empire, and prices are not low. Renting a satisfactory house long-term would probably cost a lot.
After Huo Yuhao's comparison and Huo Yun'er's various bargaining with the introducer, they finally managed to rent a house with a private courtyard. The lease term was tentatively set for three months.
Huo Yun'er watched Huo Yuhao handle everything in an orderly manner and couldn't help but feel impressed.
When Huo Yuhao returned covered in blood that day, Huo Yun'er knew that she and her son could no longer stay in the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
She recalled the scene when she and her son had just escaped from the White Tiger Duke's mansion. At that time, she was also filled with panic and confusion, not knowing where to go or what to do.
However, Huo Yuhao, who was only ten years old, was unusually calm and mature, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
From escaping the Duke's mansion to arriving in Tiandou City, Huo Yuhao arranged almost everything.
Even on the road, Huo Yuhao would transmit a warm current into his body, which greatly relieved his fatigue.
All of this made her feel like she was dreaming, as if it were all unreal.
"Mother."
Just as Huo Yun'er was tidying up the bedding in a daze, Huo Yuhao suddenly called out.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Yuhao?"
Huo Yun'er came to her senses and looked at him softly, asking him a question.
"I don't want to keep the surname Dai anymore. I want to change my surname to Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao calmly uttered a sentence that stunned Huo Yun'er. Before she could react, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out again.
"From this day forward, I am no longer the son of the White Tiger Duke; I am simply your son. I will not let any of those who have bullied you go unpunished; I will make them pay the price they deserve."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun'er felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes reddened.
She quickly put down the bedding in her hands, walked a few steps to Huo Yuhao's side, and hugged him tightly in her arms.
"Yuhao, don't be impulsive, don't do anything foolish."
Huo Yun'er took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and gently stroked Huo Yuhao's hair.
"Mom never cares whether you can get revenge or not. As long as you grow up safely, Mom will be content."
……
Xuanming Sect, a sect that was once somewhat famous on the Douluo Continent.
After ten thousand years of trials and tribulations, it has now become one of the super sects of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Inside a private room of a restaurant in Tiandou City.
"Tian Dou Cheng'er..."
"Whether things are chaotic or not, it's up to the Xu family to decide..."
"The Xuanming Sect is Tian'er of Tiandou City..."
A middle-aged man lay on a recliner, humming a tune and sipping his wine.
The man's name was Xu Sheng. Although he also possessed the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul, his talent was mediocre. At over forty years old, he was only at the level of a four-ring Soul Master.
His main responsibility was to find virgins for the Xuanming Sect who had not yet experienced sexual relations, because the Xu family of the Xuanming Sect possessed a martial spirit called the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.
It is said that this martial spirit contains the bloodline of the divine beast Xuanwu, but it requires a second awakening.
Therefore, within the Xuanming Sect, there is a secret known only to them—the secret of the evolution of the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.
Male members of the Xuanming Sect who possess the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul can awaken the Xuanwu power within their bodies through a second awakening.
Through thousands of years of exploration and experimentation, the Xu family has gradually mastered a method for secondary awakening that is the most reliable and has the highest success rate.
That is to have a member of the Xu family, still a virgin, consummate their marriage with a woman who has not yet experienced sexual relations, through a specific sacrificial ceremony.
"Knock knock knock".
A short knock sounded on the door.
A somewhat sleazy-looking young man pushed open the door and entered, bowing respectfully:
"Uncle Sheng, I've investigated almost everything you asked me to do."
"The girl's family is indeed in dire straits, and her mother has now encountered an accident."
Xu Sheng smiled when he saw Chen Wen enter.
"I knew this couldn't be wrong. San Shi has been relentlessly pursuing that girl at Shrek Academy."
"If this matter is successfully accomplished, the rewards for both of us will certainly be substantial."
As Xu Sheng spoke, he raised an eyebrow and put on a serious expression.
"However, you must be careful when you do things, and you must not be too hasty and anger the other party."
"If it really doesn't work out, then so be it. There are plenty of other candidates anyway."
After all, this kind of thing is not honorable.
Although the Xuanming Sect is a reclusive sect, it has no choice but to do so in order to ensure the sect's inheritance and continuation.
Therefore, whenever an outstanding young disciple in the family encounters this situation, they will carefully select a woman from a respectable family background.
A large sum of gold soul coins is paid as compensation, provided the other party is completely willing.
If a woman is willing to join the Xuanming Sect, she can at least become a concubine, and there are precedents of her becoming the principal wife later due to deep affection.
If you do not wish to join the Xuanming Sect, you can take this money and leave to start a new life.
This time, however, the students they chose were from Shrek Academy.
Although he was just a student from the Foreign Languages Department, Xu Sheng had heard that he was quite talented, so he naturally did not want to make a big fuss about it, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
"Don't worry, Uncle Sheng, you can rest assured that I'll handle things perfectly."
Chen Wen nodded repeatedly, patting his chest to assure him.
"Just you wait and see, I'll definitely handle this matter perfectly for you."
After saying that, Chen Wen left the room and gently closed the door.
