Upon hearing that Yu Tianhao wanted to offer his daughter, Yu tian Qingluan, as a personal maid, Shui Wuya smiled slightly.
"This Yu Tianhao has quite the ambition, but after all, I absorbed the Lei family's divine pool, so I owe them a favor."
Shui Wuya thought to himself.
The senior members of the Shui family in the council hall began to discuss.
"Daring to be the first, Yu Tianhao is truly bold. He must have made a great decision before coming here."
"Yu Tianhao has always been closely following our Shui family's lead, obedient to our commands. Having his daughter as a maid is beneficial for both our families."
"Unfortunately, Yu tian Qingluan, though extraordinarily talented and beautiful, is still far from being a match for our Shui family master. Yu Tianhao's plan is somewhat lacking."
"Indeed, a woman worthy of our master probably hasn't been born yet."
Shui Wuya pondered for a moment.
Among the major influential families, he found Yu Tianhao to be quite agreeable, and Yu tian Qingluan was indeed quite attractive.
"Since he is sincere, I'll accept her."
He instructed the elder, "Inform Yu Tianhao that I am willing to accept Yu tian Qingluan as my personal maid."
"Understood."
The elder took his leave to deliver the message.
...
In the Shui family's courtyard, Yu Tianhao and his daughter, Yu tian Qingluan, anxiously awaited news.
Yu tian Qingluan, somewhat puzzled, complained, "Father, was it really necessary to propose me as Shui family master's maid so directly?"
Yu Tianhao answered with a wry smile, "Perhaps, but when asking for something, it's best to seize the moment when the master is in a good mood.
The Shui family master has just absorbed the divine power from the Divine Hall, so now should be a good time."
Yu tian Qingluan hesitantly asked, "But the Shui family master doesn't lack maids. Does he really have any interest in me?"
Yu Tianhao encouraged her, "No matter what, you have to give it a try.
If it succeeds, getting close to the Shui family master could help you build a relationship."
Yu tian Qingluan felt slightly reassured by her father's words but was still nervous.
At that moment, the Shui family elder who was sent to deliver the message approached with a spring in his step.
Yu Tianhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Elder, what did the Shui family master say?"
The elder stroked his beard and smiled, "The master has agreed.
Prepare your daughter and bring her over."
Yu Tianhao was ecstatic upon hearing this and repeatedly thanked the elder, "Thank you, Elder! Thank you, Master Shui!"
Yu tian Qingluan was overjoyed as well, excited yet nervous at the thought of being close to the Shui family master every day.
Soon after, Yu Tianhao hosted a grand feast at the Lei family's residence.
During the feast, Yu Tianhao proudly announced, "The Shui family master has agreed. Yu tian Qingluan will become his personal maid and will move into the Shui family soon!"
Yu Tianhao emphasized the "personal" part heavily.
"Fantastic!"
"With someone influential backing us, our Lei family is on the rise!"
"Hehe, let's see who dares to speak ill of us now!"
"Let the Feng and Huo families be envious!"
The joyous news spread like wildfire.
Yu Tianhao's triumph was unprecedented.
The Lei family members were all immensely proud, eager to let everyone know about their connection with the Shui family master.
The feast was lively and filled with laughter, creating a bustling atmosphere.
Quickly, this news swept through the major factions like a storm.
The heads of the Feng and Huo families, upon hearing the news, could not help but feel envy and resentment.
"Yu Tianhao is so scheming, quietly offering his daughter as the Shui family master's maid. The key is that the Shui family master actually agreed! He's really hit the jackpot."
"Ah, I regret not sending my niece over earlier!"
"Indeed, something we both hesitated to do has been accomplished by this guy."
The two men pounded their chests and stamped their feet, deeply regretful.
The head of the Huo family said with concern, "The Shui family master is highly skilled and talented, so naturally, he wouldn't be interested in Yu Tianhao's daughter. However, the world is unpredictable. Shui Wuya is young and full of energy, and Yu tian Qingluan is exceptionally beautiful. Who can guarantee that nothing will come of it?"
"Feng family master, what if Shui Wuya really does take a fancy to the Lei family's daughter?"
The Feng family head also looked troubled. "You make a good point."
"We shouldn't delay. Our two families should act quickly and send someone over as well."
The Huo family head nodded in agreement, "Yes, if they can go, so can we! We can't fall behind at the start."
Thus, the two of them quickly decided to hold a beauty contest, selecting the most beautiful and talented young women from their own families to present to Shui Wuya in hopes of winning his favor and attention.
As news of the beauty contest spread throughout the Feng and Huo families, the young women were all abuzz with excitement.

At the peak of the Shui family's Soul Mountain,
Shui Wuya sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, emanating a powerful aura, like a towering mountain.
The world of the undead within him, influenced by the integration of various divine powers, had become increasingly powerful and vibrant.
Within the world of the undead, the undead beings had grown stronger and more ferocious due to the enhancement of divine power.
The flames of war once again spread in all directions!
At this moment, a massive undead army led by a bone dragon was attacking the territory of the Ghost Bone Tiger.
The bone dragon, enormous and imposing, announced its intent to take over this land.
The Ghost Bone Tiger, undaunted, roared deeply, displaying its indomitable spirit.
The two undead armies clashed violently like torrents, their battle cries reverberating through the heavens.
On the battlefield, blood and flesh flew, and the bones of the undead piled up like mountains.
At the same time, the undead crocodile, which had absorbed divine power, was lying deep in the burial soil, engaged in closed-door cultivation.
It rested on the ground, absorbing the surrounding undead energy.
The divine stone inside its belly glowed faintly, emitting a mysterious power.
Suddenly, the undead crocodile underwent a transformation.
Its body grew larger, the scales between its limbs became incredibly hard, and its claws and teeth grew sharper.
Most astonishingly, its original three heads had transformed into five!
The undead crocodile had evolved, radiating a powerful aura.
Its five heads were raised, gazing at the blood moon in the sky, filled with ambition.
"I, the Silent Moon, vow to become the ruler of the undead world!"
The voice of the Undead Crocodile King was deep and authoritative, echoing through the burial soil.
Then, it began to stride with determination deeper into the burial soil, preparing to embark on its path to dominance.

Having assessed the situation in the world of the undead,
Shui Wuya returned to the real world.
Sitting on the mountaintop, he gazed at the distant clouds, feeling a sense of reflection.
"The world of the undead has reached 95% completion, and the remaining 5% is the most challenging part."
"What should I do next?"
