Chapter 7

In fact, after these two days of interaction, He Wuhen had also grown quite fond of the obedient and gentle maid, Xiaomei.

A girl as naturally beautiful as Xiaomei, even dressed in simple clothes, could not hide her stunning beauty and figure.

He Wuhen was absolutely certain that if Xiaomei were placed in China on Earth, she would definitely be a beauty on par with the school flowers.

Having such a beautiful and gentle maid as a personal attendant undoubtedly satisfied He Wuhen's desire to live like a spoiled young master, and greatly boosted his vanity.

Just think, those goddesses and school flowers who were once out of reach in his previous life are now just personal attendants by his side. Isn't that satisfying enough?

A personal attendant, in essence, is a concubine who will eventually serve the young master in bed, meaning that Xiaomei would eventually belong to He Wuhen.

Unfortunately, the previous He Dasha was a lecher who couldn't wait to rape Xiaomei.

Moreover, the previous He Dasha never treated her kindly, often beating and scolding her for the slightest displeasure, so this girl had a very poor impression of He Wuhen, even fearing and hating him.

Thinking about this, He Wuhen touched his nose with a bitter smile.

"It seems that changing Xiaomei's opinion of me won't happen in a day or two. Well, I won't think about this now. I should focus on how to improve my strength and level."

Yesterday, he killed over ninety large dogs in the backyard, successfully breaking through to 1,000 experience points and reaching level 5 Warrior.

However, to reach level 6 Warrior, he still needed 3,000 experience points.

Moreover, he found that after becoming a level 5 Warrior, the experience points from killing large dogs had dropped to just 5 points.

This made him realize that the experience point calculation was similar to that in games: killing monsters below his level would result in a decrease in experience points.

He estimated that once he became a level 6 Warrior, killing large dogs might not yield any experience points at all.

"Currently, to reach level 6 Warrior, I need to kill 600 large dogs. Damn, where am I supposed to find 600 large dogs? Even if I buy them, it would cost a lot of silver."

Speaking of silver, He Wuhen felt a wave of melancholy.

Although he was now a super official's son, he was short of money and had little savings.

A few years ago, He Yaotian had strictly limited his monthly allowance to prevent the spoiled young master from doing even more outrageous things.

Now, He Wuhen could only find 500 taels of silver in his money bag, which was not enough to buy even one of those fierce large dogs.

"What should I do? Without large dogs to kill and no silver to buy large dogs or beasts, I have to find a place to kill monsters and level up."

"The martial arts realm has seven major levels, and Warrior is just the weakest. Even so, it takes 3,000 experience points to level up from level 5 to level 6 Warrior."

"If I were to level up to level 9 Warrior, how many experience points would I need? And if I were to reach the Warrior level, how many experience points would I need for each level? It's probably in the tens of thousands, right?"

In the Xuanhuang world, the martial arts realm has seven levels, from lowest to highest: Warrior, Martial Artist, Martial Master, Martial Ancestor, Martial King, Martial Emperor, and Martial God. This is what He Wuhen learned from reading the "Eastern Wasteland Annals."

In the past ten thousand years, the Eastern Wasteland Continent has only seen a few Martial Emperors, and Martial Gods of that level have only appeared on the mysterious Central Continent.

As for above Martial God, it is said that there are even more powerful and mysterious Martial Saints and Martial Deities, but they are just legends and rarely appear in the entire Xuanhuang world.

These powerful martial artists can fly, live forever, and even control the sun, moon, stars, and move mountains and fill seas, just like the immortals in ancient Chinese mythology.

All of this made He Wuhen very eager. Since he had come to such a magical world, if he didn't strive to cultivate and pursue the realm of a powerful martial artist, wouldn't it be a waste?

However, although he was extremely eager to reach the realm of a powerful martial artist, he was just a Warrior, weak and insignificant, and couldn't even gather enough experience points to reach level 6 Warrior.

"I can't let this go on. I have to find a better way."

"Perhaps I can go to the wilderness to kill beasts, which will definitely yield more experience points than large dogs. If that doesn't work, I can find people to fight, cut them a few times, and absorb their strength to become stronger."

"However, although I am a spoiled young master, I won't bully the good and innocent. I can't cut people for no reason and absorb their strength. It's best to find those who have a grudge against me and who I can defeat. That way, I can fight and absorb their strength without feeling guilty."

Standing by the window, looking at the vast, dark sky, He Wuhen began to think.

Unfortunately, after an hour of thinking, he remembered a lot of people who had a grudge against him, but none of them were people he could defeat. It was a tragic situation!

However, He Wuhen thought of one person, Liu Feng, who might be able to help.

In the Jade Capital, besides the five most powerful noble families, there were sixteen other powerful families, and the Liu family was one of them.

Liu Feng was the eldest son of the Liu family, and his father was the Minister of the Qingyuan Kingdom. Although Liu Feng couldn't help He Wuhen get many large dogs, his wife could.

Liu Feng's wife, Hu Yaoyao, was the daughter of the Hu family, one of the sixteen powerful families. The Hu family made its fortune by operating beast arenas, and half of the largest beast arenas in the Jade Capital were owned by the Hu family.

Because the previous He Dasha was very enthusiastic about dog fighting, Liu Feng always stayed close to He Wuhen, calling each other brothers and treating him very well, providing a lot of help.

For example, knowing that He Wuhen liked dog fighting, Liu Feng had Hu Yaoyao go to great lengths to gather many valuable fierce dogs and sell them to He Wuhen, fulfilling his desire to raise fierce dogs.

Another example was when He Wuhen wanted to place bets at the beast arena but was short of money. Liu Feng would always have Hu Yaoyao lend him money, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Although Liu Feng would always come to He Wuhen with the IOUs to collect the debt, the debt-ridden He Wuhen could only think of ways to steal various property deeds from home to mortgage to him.

However, overall, the previous He Dasha still liked Liu Feng very much, considering him a trustworthy good brother and treating Hu Yaoyao warmly.

Of course, these were the thoughts and impressions of the previous He Dasha. In his simple mind, Liu Feng and Hu Yaoyao were warm-hearted good people.

But now, He Wuhen was no longer the foolish He Dasha.

Recalling past events, he thought of several things about Liu Feng and Hu Yaoyao and quickly noticed something suspicious.

The previous He Dasha often went to the Hu family's Fengyun Beast Arena, but he lost more than he won. Sometimes, when there were large bets at the arena, Liu Feng and Hu Yaoyao would invite him to participate.

Even though he had no silver tickets or much money to place bets, Hu Yaoyao and Liu Feng would always lend him money, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Afterward, He Dasha would always lose the bets and be visited by the Hu family with the IOUs to collect the debt.

Without money, He Dasha couldn't pay the debt, so Liu Feng and Hu Yaoyao would "guide" him, helping him think of ways to pay.

For example, they would have He Dasha steal property deeds, land deeds, and shop deeds from home or steal martial arts manuals from the library to mortgage to the Hu family to pay off the debt.

Over the years, He Wuhen remembered that he had mortgaged over a dozen shops and properties and thousands of acres of land to the Hu family, totaling over three million taels of silver, almost the income of the He family for several years. This didn't include the martial arts manuals stolen from the library, which were invaluable treasures.

Thinking about this, a cold smile appeared on He Wuhen's lips, and his eyes turned cold.

The previous He Dasha was a fool, but he was different. He could guess the true intentions of Liu Feng and Hu Yaoyao.

That couple was likely deliberately getting close to him, trying to trick him out of his wealth. The previous He Dasha was too foolish to notice and even considered them good people.

After some thought, He Wuhen decided to meet this couple.

First, to get some large dogs from the Fengyun Beast Arena to kill and level up, and second, to gather information to help him reclaim the properties that were tricked away from him.

Yes! He Wuhen was not the type to endure humiliation. The Hu family had taken so much from him, and he would definitely find a way to get it back.

The previous He Dasha was a fool, but he was not. He believed he could find a way to deal with Liu Feng and Hu Yaoyao and reclaim his properties.

It was just the right time for the lanterns to light up, and the Jade Capital was bustling with traffic and bright lights, the perfect time for various entertainment venues, casinos, and beast arenas.

So, He Wuhen changed his clothes, took his two lackeys, A Da and A Er, and headed to the Fengyun Beast Arena.

The Fengyun Beast Arena was located on the busiest street in the southern district, and it was now brightly lit and crowded.

Arriving at the entrance of the arena, He Wuhen got off the carriage and stood at the gate, looking around.

The Fengyun Beast Arena was large and grand, occupying a vast area of over a hundred acres, the Hu family's most important core business.

Now, the four red gates were wide open, with bright lights and two rows of black-clad guards standing guard. Eight beautiful maids were welcoming guests.

He Wuhen arrived in the He family's carriage, which had the He family's emblem. The welcoming maids recognized it and immediately put on a warm and fawning smile, welcoming him.

"Welcome, Young Master He. If Miss Hu knew you were here, she would be very happy."

"Master, let me take you inside. Miss Hu has instructed that you are our honored guest and will always receive the most prestigious treatment, no matter when you come."

The maid, clearly instructed by Hu Yaoyao, was particularly attentive to He Wuhen. Even though the arena was crowded tonight, she arranged for him to stay in a VIP room on the second floor.

After entering the luxurious room, the welcoming maid left, and other maids immediately brought in delicious fruits and tea for He Wuhen to enjoy.

He Wuhen didn't hesitate, sitting down to eat and drink, while A Da and A Er stood respectfully in the corner.

"Go and fetch your mistress. Tell her that Young Master He wants to discuss something with her," He Wuhen said to the maid while sipping his tea.

After the maid left, a while later, a fragrant breeze wafted in, and a beautiful and alluring young woman entered the room with her maids.

This woman was stunningly beautiful, with a seductive figure, a delicate face, a pointed chin, large, bright eyes, and a small, red, cherry mouth. She was a perfect beauty.

She was none other than Hu Yaoyao, the eldest daughter of the Hu family and the owner of the Fengyun Beast Arena.
