Chapter 0008: Intrigues and Machinations

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He Wuhen immediately laughed arrogantly and said: "I have a dream, which is to build the largest dog kennel in the entire Jade Capital, raising countless fierce dogs, so that I can showcase the noble status and taste of He Shao."

Hu Yaoyao spoke in a nonchalant manner, feigning ease, presenting herself as a person of urgent public spirit, trying to find a solution for He Wuhen

Moreover, what does this amount of money mean to you, Young Master He? Furthermore, in order to achieve your grand ambitions, it is only reasonable to spend a little more; it is only in this way that the taste and status of a young master can be truly reflected

Oh, what kind of wind is blowing tonight that it has even brought Young Master He here? Truly a distinguished guest has arrived!

The soft whispers of the beauty seeking his attention, along with the intentional and unintentional physical touches and rubs, made it difficult for the young master to resist. Thus, each time, he willingly succumbed to her charms

Those two fierce dogs both have the bloodline of the snow wolves from the extremely cold northern lands, possessing formidable combat strength. Tonight's competition is exceptionally thrilling, and many young masters from Yujing City have come to watch. How could the eldest young master be absent?

However, these words, when heard in He Wuhen's heart, only made him laugh coldly even more, and his dislike and hatred for Hu Yaoyao reached their peak

Moreover, in the He family's library, it is not merely possible that the "Snowfall Sword Technique" exists, but it is certain that this manual is present.

I inquired for you; a few days ago, a martial artist was offering a substantial sum for a swordsmanship manual titled "Falling Snow Sword Technique." He stated that he was willing to pay 500,000 taels of silver to acquire this manual

He is well aware that ordinary fierce dogs can be purchased for just a few taels of silver, while only those with good lineage are worth several hundred taels of silver

Dear Sir, although we share a bond akin to that of siblings and our feelings run deep, you are aware that I am merely a weak woman and cannot take charge. The sum of six hundred large dogs is indeed a substantial amount.

However, he is quite something, having such goals and dreams; it is simply a case of being distracted by trivial pursuits, utterly wasteful to the extreme, and he is truly a peculiar individual

However, He Wuhen felt no affection for this alluring woman. Upon seeing her heavily made-up appearance and her deliberately flirtatious demeanor, he could only feel disgust.

Although He Wuhen does not know what level of martial arts "Falling Snow Sword Technique" is, the fact that Hu Yaoyao is scheming so meticulously indicates that it is definitely not a Yellow-level martial art, but rather a possible Xuan-level martial art

He Wu Hen secretly sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he feigned sympathy, solemnly patting his chest and saying: "Sister Hu, what are you talking about? It is only natural to write a promissory note when borrowing money; I will not make things difficult for you"

You see, elder sister is also aware that you, young master, cannot come up with so much money to repay the debt at once, so elder sister has already thought of a solution for you

Thinking of this, He Wuhen couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Hu Yaoyao, this bitch, is truly scheming and ruthless, devouring others without leaving a bone. No wonder the former He Shao was so badly taken advantage of by her."

After completing this task, He Wuhen felt elated and could hardly wait to return home to level up by hunting dogs. Unexpectedly, Hu Yaoyao smiled and took out an abacus, keeping him there.

Although filled with disdain, He Wuhen did not want to reveal any flaws, so he smiled and greeted Hu Yaoyao. "Oh, it has been a few days since we last met, and Sister Hu's chest has grown larger again."

Oh, is there anything that can trouble Young Master He? Do you still need your sister's assistance? However, Young Master, feel free to speak; as long as I can help, I will certainly not hesitate to do so.

Thinking of this, Hu Yaoyao smiled and said, "Young Master He, how did you know there would be a highlight tonight? We haven't even invited you yet, and you came on your own."

He Wuhen arranged for A Er to accompany the people from the arena, escorting six hundred large dogs back to the He residence, and organized those large dogs into the dog kennel

Because Hu Yaoyao must have conducted prior investigations and discovered that the secret manual was located in the library of He's residence

Tonight, he inadvertently presented himself at her doorstep again, borrowing six hundred large dogs. Therefore, Hu Yaoyao devised a plan, using this as an excuse to have him sign an IOU, which would allow her to exchange it for the secret manual

Oh dear, why are you being so polite with your sister? Just say it, what do you want to borrow?

Sister, I have already lent them to you, which is the limit of my ability. I sincerely hope that you, young master, can provide a written acknowledgment, so that there is a record.

As soon as she entered the room, Hu Yaoyao's soft and sweet voice came over in a charming manner. She gracefully approached He Wuhen, smiling seductively as she performed a curtsy.

Hu Yaoyao was somewhat surprised, but it was not the unusual way in which He Wuhen greeted her that astonished her; after all, this dandy young master had always been like this, consistently speaking in a frivolous manner

However, the six hundred large dogs that Hu Yaoyao provided him were all priced at eight hundred taels of silver each, which undoubtedly treated him as a fool and was a deliberate attempt to swindle his money

He Wuhen finally understood that Hu Yaoyao was deeply scheming and had long desired the "Falling Snow Sword Technique." After discovering that the secret manual was hidden in the He family's library, she devised various ways to harm him.

Soon, Hu Yaoyao had this matter taken care of. With her instructions, the Fengyun Beast Fighting Arena quickly gathered six hundred large dogs and sent them to the He residence

Hu Yaoyao spoke with a charming smile, her soft and delicate figure intentionally leaning closer to He Wuhen, her animated expression quite alluring

It is like this, I, the young master, have come this time to borrow some items from you

Oh? Is that so? What is the main event tonight? He Wu Hen truly does not know what good shows there are to watch; he also decided to come to the Wind and Cloud Beast Arena on a whim.

He is not a fool; he is very clear that the matter of the martial artist offering a large sum of money to purchase the secret manual is absolutely fabricated by Hu Yaoyao. It is highly likely that she is plotting to obtain the "Falling Snow Sword Technique" herself

Upon hearing Hu Yaoyao's words, He Wuhen became wary, knowing that she had ulterior motives, and could not help but let out a cold laugh in his heart

Upon seeing He Wuhen's pained expression, Hu Yaoyao felt even more pleased. She believed that the plan was progressing exceptionally smoothly, bringing her one step closer to her goal

Upon hearing this, Hu Yaoyao was taken aback for a moment and said in astonishment: "Young Master, although six hundred large dogs is quite a lot, I can manage it with some effort. However, what do you need so many large dogs for?"

Moreover, my sister did not ask you to produce such a large sum of silver all at once! Young master, do not worry, my sister will find a way to help you

However, Hu Yaoyao still smiled and nodded, saying, "Since the young master has spoken, I will unreservedly help you fulfill your wish. I will instruct the servants to prepare six hundred large dogs and send them to the He residence shortly."

However, he still deliberately displayed an interested demeanor and laughed, saying, "Oh, then this young master will have to play with it later"

Seeing that He Wuhen's expression did not seem to be feigned, Hu Yaoyao began to explain

Upon hearing these words, Hu Yaoyao couldn't help but burst into laughter in her heart, feeling even more disdainful and contemptuous towards He Wuhen than at any other time before.

Other young aristocrats either dream of being as wealthy as a nation with a multitude of beautiful women or aspire to possess unparalleled martial prowess

Hu Yaoyao is not only a stunning beauty but also a woman who is versatile and adept at winning people's affection

Your family possesses a vast collection of books. When the time comes, you can go back and search; perhaps you will find this secret manual. In that case, if you hand this manual over to me, I can help you sell it, and you will be able to repay that 480,000 taels of silver.

However, before that, I need you to help me with something

Thus, she stepped closer once again and added, "Indeed, 480,000 taels of silver is somewhat excessive, but those large dogs have excellent bloodlines and are worth far more than this price. Sister can offer you a discount."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yaoyao couldn't help but secretly laugh, feeling overjoyed, while enthusiastically agreeing with her words.

"What? Four hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver? So expensive?" He Wuhen was truly taken aback, and his anger grew even stronger.

I would like to borrow six hundred large dogs from you, no need for those of noble lineage, just ordinary large dogs will suffice, as long as they are fierce enough

She knew about the incident involving He Wuhen and Princess Bao Lianyu, where she almost got killed. Therefore, she thought that He Wuhen would be quiet for a while, being confined at home by He Yaotian, but she did not expect that this debauched young master would come knocking again to "deliver money".

He Wuhen had long anticipated that Hu Yaoyao would act in this manner, as she had done so every time before, even her excuses were the same

Thus, Hu Yaoyao took out a promissory note and, smiling, said to He Wuhen: "Six hundred large dogs, totaling four hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, please sign and seal it, young master."

What surprised her was how He Wuhen could suddenly appear tonight

As she spoke, her delicate body intentionally or unintentionally leaned against He Wuhen, presenting a pitiful appearance, with her large eyes filled with grievance

Dear Sir, it is as follows: tonight there will be a duel between two king-level fierce dogs, which can be regarded as the grandest spectacle in the past three months
