Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 598 Gu Yuena: My socks are a little dirty
Inside the governor's residence in Tianhai City.

"Fusheng, long time no see." Gu Yuena raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, breaking the usual coldness and looking particularly moving.

This was completely different from the cold attitude she usually displayed in the Spirit Pagoda. If Qiangu Zhangting was here and saw this, he would probably be so shocked that his face would be distorted and he would find it hard to believe his eyes.

"It's Gu Yue! It's been a while since we last met." Nan Fusheng nodded slightly, his eyes filled with joy of reunion.

He was very clear about the different names that Na'er and Gu Yue used for him. Na'er would affectionately call him Brother Fusheng, while Gu Yue would just call him Fusheng. He could still tell the difference.

In Gu Yue's cognition, Nan Fusheng did not know her other identity—the Gu Yue who had studied with him at Donghai College.

Nan Fusheng might have some guesses from her calling her "Gu Yue", but those were just guesses.

After all, Gu Yue in the past was young and immature, and her appearance was only slightly pretty.

Today, Gu Yuena has a cool and noble temperament, and exudes the charm of a mature woman in her every move. The two are so different in appearance that it is difficult for anyone to connect them together.

She had her own reasons for insisting that Nan Fusheng call her Gu Yue. She didn't want Nan Fusheng to confuse her with Na'er, and she always had an inexplicable obsession in her heart on this point.

As for when to confess her identity to Nan Fusheng, Gu Yue had already made plans in her mind. At least she had to wait until their relationship became closer, and then use a clever way to let him slowly realize it.

If she were to rashly tell Nan Fusheng that Gu Yuena was actually half his former classmate Gu Yue, she was really afraid that this "honest man" would be scared.

After all, thinking back to the past, the complicated entanglement between her and Tang Wulin, even though she did not accept Tang Wulin's confession in the end, in the eyes of everyone, the two of them had long been a match made in heaven.

Given Nan Fusheng's personality, if he knew that he was Gu Yue and realized that he might have "robbed" his good brother's ideal woman, based on his temperament, he would probably not be able to bear such a blow and would fall into endless "entanglement" and "self-blame".

Therefore, Gu Yuena decided to take it step by step, and let their feelings for each other continue to grow stronger as they spend the days together. When the time is right, she will reveal everything and explain her identity to him in detail.

By then, I believe Nan Fusheng will be able to accept all this more calmly.

In the spacious and elegantly decorated reception room of the Tianhai City Governor's residence, Nan Fusheng sat comfortably on the soft sofa and talked with Gu Yuena.

The soft light was like a layer of gauze, evenly falling around them, adding a warm atmosphere to the entire space.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuena's expression gradually became serious. She sat up slightly, looked at Nan Fusheng sincerely, and finally told him the main purpose of her visit: "Fusheng, I came to you this time to ask you for a favor."

"Okay." Nan Fusheng agreed without hesitation, without even asking what it was about. "As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely help you solve it."

"It's about the promotion of artificial ten thousand year souls. I would like to ask the officials of Tianhai City to help endorse it."

"No problem, I'll notify the people below to help you promote it now." Nan Fusheng responded without hesitation, with great action, as if he wanted to solve Gu Yuena's problems immediately.

Seeing Nan Fusheng's unhesitating attitude, Gu Yuena felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She was moved and said seriously, "I can't ask you for help in vain. I came here this time to represent the Spirit Pagoda and want to cooperate with the officials of Tianhai City.

"On behalf of the Spirit Pagoda?" Nan Fusheng heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "Gu Yue, can you represent the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Of course." Gu Yuena nodded firmly and explained patiently, "I am now the Spirit Transmission Envoy of the Spirit Transmission Tower, and I am fully responsible for the research and development of artificial ten thousand year souls, so the Tower Master has already delegated authority to me in this regard."

"I am still in a position to make the decision on behalf of the Spiritual Pagoda to cooperate with the authorities. I believe that the Pagoda Master will not object after knowing this. In fact, in other first-tier cities, we have already reached cooperation with local officials."

Nan Fusheng's eyes were full of surprise. He stared at Gu Yuena and said, "Spirit messenger? Gu Yue, are you already one of the four great spirit messengers of the Spirit Messenger Tower?"

"Yeah." Gu Yuena nodded slightly, and then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She looked at Nan Fusheng and said, "You don't know about this? Didn't Fors tell you about it?"

It has been a while since Gu Yuena was promoted to one of the four great spirit messengers.

However, due to her introverted and low-key personality, she rejected the Spirit Pagoda's proposal to promote her, resulting in the news of her becoming a Spirit Messenger being circulated only within the Spirit Pagoda in a small circle, and few people in the outside world knew about it.

But Fors was also one of the four great Spirit Messengers of the Spirit Pagoda, and her husband Nan Fusheng actually knew nothing about this, which really surprised Gu Yuena.

Nan Fusheng shook his head lightly and said helplessly, "No. Ever since Fors went to the Spiritual Pagoda headquarters, she seems to have become very busy, so she rarely contacts me. I was also afraid of disturbing her, so I only contacted her once or twice a month."

An unpredictable look flashed across Gu Yuena's eyes, and she asked softly, "Fusheng, do you know Fors's status and situation in the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Situation?" Nan Fusheng scratched his head, revealing a trace of confusion, and said: "I only know that she has also become a spiritual messenger. I don't know anything else, and she didn't tell me."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, thinking to herself: So that's how it is. It seems that Fusheng doesn't know that Fors often makes things difficult for him in the Spirit Pagoda, and he doesn't even know the details of her daily life in the Spirit Pagoda.

Since this was the case, don't blame her for wanting a little revenge today. Usually, Fors made things difficult for her, and today she wanted to get some "compensation" from Nan Fusheng.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she slowly took out a document that had been carefully prepared long ago from the storage soul guide, and handed it to Nan Fusheng gracefully.

"This is a document about the cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and the government. I have already marked some of the key points in advance. Please take a look to see if it is appropriate and whether there is anything that needs to be changed."

Nan Fusheng took the document solemnly and then began to read it carefully with full concentration.

Although he had full trust in Gu Yuena, this was, after all, a major cooperation matter between the Tianhai City government and the Spirit Pagoda. No detail could be ignored, and the necessary caution and meticulousness were still essential.

Just as Nan Fusheng was fully absorbed in reading the document, a sly smile quietly appeared at the corner of Gu Yuena's mouth.

Then, she bent down slightly, moved gently and slowly, and slowly grasped the edge of the boots with both hands, and began to slowly apply force. As she moved, the boots were gradually removed, and each movement was filled with a different kind of charm. "Bang!"

When the boots are completely off the feet, the calves wrapped in white stockings are exposed without reservation. The calves have beautiful and smooth lines, like a carefully carved work of art, with just the right curves, exuding a unique beauty.

The white stockings glow slightly under the sunlight, highlighting the delicate and smooth skin of the calves.

That touch of pure white seems to contain a mysterious and charming power, which instantly attracts people's attention and makes people involuntarily intoxicated by it.

Nan Fusheng was naturally no exception. The slight sound of Gu Yuena's boots hitting the ground successfully attracted his attention. He subconsciously looked towards her and happened to witness this visually impactful scene.

"Councilman Fusheng, what are you looking at?" Seeing Nan Fusheng staring at her calves, Gu Yuena couldn't help but give a light scolding, with a bit of coquettishness and scolding in her voice, breaking the delicate tranquility at the moment.

"Nothing, nothing."

Her voice instantly brought Nan Fusheng back to his senses. He awkwardly turned his gaze back to the document, trying to refocus his attention, but his eyes were involuntarily wandering, and it was obvious that he had not yet completely extricated himself from the scene just now.

"Let's see how long you can keep pretending."

Seeing this, the smile in Gu Yuena's eyes became even more intense, as if she was secretly proud of her own successful little "prank".

She slightly raised her long and straight legs and placed them on the table lightly, seemingly casually, revealing her white silk feet just right.

The skin, as white as mutton-fat jade, tightly wrapped in white stockings, exudes a delicate and charming luster, as if it were a rare treasure.

The toes wrapped in stockings look playful and cute, just like a group of elves hiding behind gauze, smart and full of energy.

The ankles are slender and delicate, and the stockings naturally form a graceful fold there, like a flower bud about to bloom, exuding a unique charm that makes people's eyes unable to help but be attracted to it again.

Gu Yuena had lived in the Governor's Mansion for a long time. During that time, she had often spied on the battles between Nan Fusheng and the other two, so she knew all about Nan Fusheng's little XP.

At this moment, seeing Nan Fusheng's eyes attracted to her again, Gu Yuena raised her head slightly, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and asked softly: "Does it look good?"

Her voice was soft, with a hint of temptation, like a spring breeze, gently stirring people's hearts.

"It looks good." Nan Fusheng answered almost subconsciously, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he came back to his senses in an instant, the expression on his face instantly became a little stiff, and embarrassment and helplessness instantly surged into his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena's smile became more intense, like the flowers blooming in spring, wanton and flamboyant. She liked to manipulate Nan Fusheng like this, and looking at his embarrassed and cute appearance, she felt a different kind of satisfaction in her heart.

"Ahem." Nan Fusheng seemed eager to change the subject, and coughed twice, trying to calm himself down. He sat up slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Gu Yue, I have read this document, there is no problem. I can cooperate with you on behalf of the Tianhai City officials."

However, Gu Yuena slowly rolled up a strand of silver hair with her fingers, narrowed her eyes, and said with a mysterious smile: "Member Fusheng, I suddenly don't want to cooperate with Tianhai City officials anymore.

"Ah?" Nan Fusheng's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of astonishment. He had no idea what Gu Yuena's sudden change was all about.

It was she who had been actively seeking cooperation just now, and it was also she who suddenly changed her mind at this moment. This move really left him confused.

"Gu Yue, what do you mean?" Nan Fusheng frowned subconsciously.

"Mr. Fusheng, do you know what an artificial ten thousand year old soul means to an ordinary soul master?" Facing Nan Fusheng's question, Gu Yuena did not answer, but asked an irrelevant question instead.

Nan Fusheng lowered his head slightly and fell into a brief thought. After a moment, he slowly said, "Does it mean cheap?"

Gu Yuena nodded gently, without stopping the movement of her hands, and continued to gently knead the hair, saying, "Yes, it means cheap. As the number of soul beasts on land decreases, the value of each soul is becoming more and more precious."

"At present, even the cheapest ten thousand year old soul has a starting price of at least fifty million, and this is for soul beasts with inferior bloodlines."

"Fifty million! Even though it's easier for soul masters to find jobs and make money than ordinary people, this is still not a small amount. To get such a large sum of money, you have to work for at least seven or eight years."

"Indeed." Nan Fusheng nodded in agreement. He knew very well that in the world of soul masters, geniuses were only a minority, and the vast majority of soul masters were like ordinary ants, struggling forward on the road of cultivation.

Not everyone is gifted, nor does everyone come from a wealthy family, or have a high second career level. Mediocrity is the true portrayal of the vast majority of soul masters.

Just to earn money to buy a ten thousand year soul, it is enough to make countless soul masters spend all their efforts. Souls cost money, training resources cost money, and battle armor costs even more! For civilian soul masters, unless their martial souls mutate, their talents are mostly mediocre.

Wanting to join a big force and receive focused training like those geniuses is simply a fantasy. That is why battle armor masters are so rare, because all this is inseparable from strong financial support.

Gu Yuena continued, "But the artificial ten thousand year soul is different. Although its value is still very high now, as the technology matures, the price will soon be brought down."

"At the same price, the quality of artificial ten thousand year souls is even better than normal ten thousand year souls. Although it is not as good as those soul beasts with high-level bloodlines, it is at least better than those soul beasts with ordinary bloodlines."

"If the creation of man-made ten thousand year souls is promoted in Tianhai City, it will definitely be a good thing for the civilian soul masters in Tianhai City, right?" Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly and looked at Nan Fusheng.
"That's right." Nan Fusheng nodded again, and then looked at Gu Yuena with some doubts, "If that's the case, then we should cooperate even more. In this way, the Spirit Pagoda can not only make money and reputation, but also benefit the people of Tianhai City."

Gu Yuena looked at him with a smile, the smile in her eyes became deeper and deeper: "Yes, this is indeed a good thing for the people of Tianhai City. I believe that Councillor Fusheng also wants to help those civilian soul masters whose soul power has reached level 50, but who have no money and cannot buy souls to upgrade."

"Yes." Nan Fusheng nodded slightly, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish at all. He looked at Gu Yuena and asked anxiously: "Gu Yue, you said so much, what do you want to express?"

Gu Yuena did not answer immediately, but slightly lifted her white silk calves, her movements elegant and a bit naughty, and whispered: "Member Fusheng, my socks seem to be a little dirty."
