Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 694 Guardian Work
"Tap!"

At this moment, crisp footsteps suddenly came from the corner of the corridor, interrupting what Nanali was about to say.

"Oh my, so you guys were hiding here and whispering to each other."

Along with this charming voice, Xilin's figure appeared behind the two of them.

She had quietly followed them at some point, and was now standing on tiptoe, leaning forward, with her head poking back and forth between the two of them, looking very playful. She was holding a game console in her arms, with an innocent smile on her face: "Can you take me with you☆?"

The moment Nunnally heard the voice, her body suddenly froze. Subconsciously, she quickly hid the Acacia Heartbroken Red in her hand behind her back.

Then, she pulled a slightly stiff arc at the corner of her mouth and said, "Ms. Xilin, Senior Fusheng and I were just discussing some work matters."

"Work☆?" Xilin heard it and suddenly moved forward. Her purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, gently brushing Nanali's cheek, bringing a hint of itch. "Are you discussing something shameful?"

Nan Fusheng saw this and stood between the two of them calmly, saying gently, "Xilin, we are really talking about business."

"It's business☆~" Xilin tilted her head, a hint of playfulness flashed in her golden pupils. She suddenly reached out and poked Nan Fusheng's chest: "Why is Fusheng's heart beating so fast?"

At this tense moment, Nashida's voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor: "Xilin! Are you playing tricks on me again?"

Nashida was seen with her arms folded across her chest, her white bare feet stepping on the floor. She had a helpless look on her face. She looked at the three people in the corridor and said slowly, "Didn't you say before that you would accompany me to make small cakes today?"

"Ah! I forgot!" Xilin stuck out her tongue like a child who had done something wrong. Then, she turned around and ran away, shouting, "I'm coming~"

As she left, the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

After Xilin walked away, Nanali breathed a sigh of relief. The red acacia hidden behind her back was already soaked with cold sweat. She said to Nan Fusheng with forced calmness: "Senior, let's go to another place."

Before he finished speaking, Xilin's clear voice suddenly came from a distance: "By the way, Secretary Nanali~"

The two turned around and saw Xilin standing at the end of the corridor. She couldn't see her expression clearly in the backlight: "The flowers behind you are very beautiful☆"

Nanali felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She...had seen it all.

"Don't worry, Secretary Nunnally, I have no interest in that flower."

Xilin seemed to remember something and tapped her lips with her finger, "But☆~ Sister Nashida said that if Secretary Nanali wants to take that herb, you must do it under her supervision."

"Sister Nashida is very proficient in handling all kinds of herbs. With her help, I believe you will be able to absorb the medicinal properties of the herbs better. I believe Secretary Nanali, you will not do anything that will cause us trouble☆～"

This modified Acacia Heartbroken Red contained extremely pure energy. If Nanali took it, there was a high probability that she would directly break through to the Ultimate Douluo. When the Ultimate Douluo breaks through, it causes quite a stir.

"That woman doesn't want me to make too much noise, right?" After thinking for a moment, Nanali understood the other party's intention and nodded immediately, "I understand."

"Well, that's good." Xilin smiled slightly, her golden eyes flashing seductively in the corridor, "Also, this is my personal opinion. I hope Secretary Nanali can know how to advance and retreat, recognize her own identity, and don't do anything weird☆~"

Is this little devil warning me?

Nunnally lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the anger and unwillingness in her eyes. Her palms clenched tightly, her nails dug deep into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks.

Xilin glanced at Nan Fusheng and said, "Also, Fusheng, didn't you just vomit blood? Now you should go back to your room and have a good rest. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, Fors will come after us."

Nan Fusheng laughed, "Got it."

After saying that, he turned and left, and the sound of his footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After Nan Fusheng left, Nanali was the only one left in the corridor. She looked down at the Acacia Heartbroken Red in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Damn it... it was just a little bit...

She clenched the flower stem tightly, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes. She was just a little bit away from swallowing Nan Fusheng.

But soon, she forced herself to calm down.

No, I can't act rashly now. That brat and Nashida are clearly staring at me...

Nanali took a deep breath and solemnly put the magic herb into the storage soul guide. Not only because the magic herb was given to her by Nan Fusheng, but also because it was an opportunity for her to break through to the Limit Douluo.

The king of magical herbs - Acacia Heartbreak Red. According to legend, as long as the user takes this herb, the user's soul power will increase significantly, and they can even gain immortality like the heaven and the earth.

Of course, the statement of "immortal as heaven and earth" may be a bit exaggerated, but this does not affect people's recognition of its powerful effects at all.

Especially after this herb fell off the Wu Jue Stone, the medicinal power in it was completely activated, and the energy it contained reached a terrifying level.

"The age of this Acacia Heartbreak Red is at least 100,000 years old."

When Nanali got this immortal herb, she had already roughly determined its age. This level of natural treasures has an irresistible attraction even for people of her level.

There is an insurmountable gap between immortal herbs and ordinary herbs, and that is the merit of taking away the creation of heaven and earth. Ordinary herbs may only play a role in assisting cultivation, but immortal herbs can change the fate of a soul master.

Even a soul master with average talent can be reborn and transformed into a genius with extraordinary talent after taking the magic herb.

According to legend, the original Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy were able to lay the foundation for becoming gods because they had taken the magic grass. From this, it is not difficult to see the powerful power of the magic grass to change fate.

However, the rarity of the fairy grass is beyond imagination.

In today's large auction houses in Douluo Continent, it is not difficult to find ten thousand year old spiritual medicines. Although they are precious, there is still a chance to obtain them with financial resources and connections.

But if you want to find a ten-thousand-year-old immortal herb, it is simply a pipe dream. Even immortal herbs that are a thousand or a hundred years old are rare and hard to find.

And now, Nanali is holding such a magical herb in her hand, and it is a king of magical herbs that is one hundred thousand years old. How can she not be ecstatic?

"It would be better if that brat wasn't in the way."

Nanali snorted, and the anger in her heart was ignited again. The scene just now was still vivid in her mind. If Xilin hadn't suddenly appeared to make trouble, she would definitely have had a thrilling battle in the corridor with Nan Fusheng.

It’s so infuriating!

Now thinking back to what happened just now, Nanali was so angry! She had finally created a great opportunity, but it was completely destroyed by that damn brat, and she was even threatened by him. How could she easily swallow such humiliation?

"I don't know how long it will take to rely on the Ghost Emperor. Instead of waiting for him to send the vengeful spirit over, I might as well use the Acacia Heartbreak Red first." Nanali pondered in her heart. After weighing the pros and cons, she felt more and more that she could no longer sit and wait for death.

"Even if this immortal herb cannot allow me to break through to the Ultimate Douluo, it is enough to push my cultivation to the peak of level ninety-eight. At the same time, this king of immortal herbs can also enhance my physique and increase my chances of breaking through."

Nanali pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. After a moment, she immediately made a decision - to take this Acacia Heartbroken Red tonight. Wait, Xilin, Nashida, and Fors! Nanali secretly swore in her heart that when she broke through the Limit Douluo, she would no longer have to rely on others and act according to their faces.

……

"Things are going well. Nunnally should be taking the herb soon."

Nan Fusheng slowly withdrew his spiritual detection. The aura around him was like a calm lake, without a ripple. Only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing his inner joy at the moment.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to cleverly encourage Nanali to take the herb that he had carefully improved, but he never expected that Xilin seemed to have telepathic connection with him and took the initiative to help him stimulate Nanali.

In this way, it will be possible to quickly see the effectiveness of the herb he has improved.

In Nan Fusheng's opinion, there shouldn't be too many obstacles in helping Nanali break through to the Ultimate Douluo. Even if the energy contained in the herbs is slightly insufficient by then, with his ability, it wouldn't be difficult to secretly help.

There was no deep meaning in this. Whether it was the gift of flowers or the "true love" of pretending to vomit blood, it was not a well-thought-out plan, but just a spur-of-the-moment impulse of Nan Fusheng.

After all, Nunnally might have a crush on him, but to say it was love was a bit too much. If Nunnally were asked to spit blood and pick flowers herself, she would probably find it hard to believe it.

That's why Nan Fusheng decided to spit out blood to see how the dark bell would react.

Well, it turned out pretty good.

At least the way Nanali looked at him was almost tearing. Nan Fusheng didn't even need to imagine too much to foresee that if Xilin hadn't stepped in to stop it in time, the situation might have developed in an even more uncontrollable direction.

"Next, we have to think about Ye Xinglan's situation."

After resolving the issue with Nanali, Nan Fusheng's thoughts quickly shifted to another person - Ye Xinglan.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Ye Xinglan's figure emerged involuntarily in his mind. Even if it was just a memory, the touch of her skin as elastic as fresh jelly was still clearly imprinted in the depths of his memory, leaving him with a very deep impression.

"Well, I can't take the initiative to go to her. Otherwise, I will definitely be looked down upon. I have to let her take the initiative to approach me."

Nan Fusheng knew Ye Xinglan's character very well, and taking the initiative rashly would only backfire. He began to think carefully about various plans in his mind, trying to find a perfect opportunity to make Ye Xinglan take the initiative to approach him.

Fortunately, Tianhai City has become his solid base camp, and there are many of his own people in the East China Sea Corps. With these advantages, it is not difficult to cleverly arrange Ye Xinglan.

……

Inside the training ground of the East Sea Corps.

Ye Xinglan swung his sword and cut off the last training puppet, then sheathed the sword.

Sweat dripped down her delicate chin, splashing small drops of water on the ground. The epaulettes on her shoulders shone with a strange and solemn brilliance in the sunlight.

There are two circles on the epaulettes with four silver stars in the center. Two circles and four stars are the symbol of the rank of colonel and also the medal of her hard work and struggle.

During the days she spent in the East Sea Corps, Ye Xinglan raced against time and never relaxed for a moment. She had a firm belief in reviving Shrek Academy in her heart, and this belief was like a burning flame, driving her forward.

As long as it was a task that would help improve her strength and rank, she would accept it without hesitation at the first opportunity, and then complete it as quickly as possible with her outstanding abilities and tenacious perseverance.

After completing the task, she immediately plunged into the next task, as if she was tireless.

Even within the East China Sea Legion, which is full of talented people and experts, Ye Xinglan's efforts and hard work are particularly dazzling, and he is dubbed the "cultivation maniac" by many people.

However, Ye Xinglan herself knew nothing about this. She was immersed in her own world, focusing blindly on training, accepting missions, and fighting, maintaining this seemingly monotonous yet hopeful lifestyle day after day.

With the blessing of such firm belief and the East China Sea Legion's focus on her training, Ye Xinglan's efforts were finally richly rewarded.

Not only did her cultivation level break through to the 83rd level Soul Douluo realm, her strength achieved a qualitative leap, and even her military rank reached colonel, making her a rising star in the East Sea Corps.

One must know that among the current Shrek Seven Devils, except for Tang Wulin, who is a special case of extraordinary talent, even Yuan En Ye Hui and others are only at the Soul Saint stage. Ye Xinglan's progress is truly remarkable.

"Xinglan, you are still working so hard." A gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Who?" Ye Xinglan turned around alertly, subconsciously holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, her eyes revealing vigilance and alertness. When she saw a blonde beauty standing behind her, looking at her with a smiling expression on her face, she relaxed.

"Major General Lucy." Ye Xinglan immediately straightened his body and gave a standard and solemn military salute. His movements were clean and neat, fully demonstrating the rigor and demeanor of a soldier.

She has always had deep respect for Major General Lucy, not only because of Major General Lucy's position in the East Sea Corps, but also because of the care and guidance Major General Lucy gave her on a daily basis.

Lucy smiled and waved her hand, her eyes full of gentleness and kindness, "Okay, given our relationship, you don't have to be so rigid."

Hearing this, Ye Xinglan also put away his military salute, and then asked politely: "Major General Lucy, is there something important that you came to see me for?"

"You kid, really." Major General Lucy shook her head helplessly. The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression. She said, "Xinglan, I came to you this time because I actually have an important task to give you."

Ye Xinglan didn't say anything, just listened silently.

"Recently, the powerful people in Tianhai City are going to hold a cruise ship auction in the nearby waters, and all the famous people from the big families will attend."

"In order to prevent any unexpected situations from happening during the auction, our East Sea Corps needs to dispatch some elite personnel to the cruise ship to help them maintain order, monitor the venue, and be responsible for comprehensive security work."

Ye Xinglan frowned. "The three fleets have only been out for a while. According to common sense, the coast should be under strict martial law now. Why are those big families holding an auction at this time?"

Major General Lucy shrugged helplessly, with a wry smile on her face, "Maybe they stayed in Tianhai City for too long when the three fleets were here. Sometimes we really can't understand the thoughts and actions of these dignitaries."

Ye Xinglan thought for a moment and asked firmly, "Then Major General Lucy, can I refuse this mission? To be honest, I don't have much interest in this kind of simple escort work."

"No." Major General Lucy smiled and shook her head, saying, "Xinglan, you know that because of the three fleets going out, the army has been seriously short of manpower recently, and all positions are facing the dilemma of shortage of personnel."

"In this situation, you are the only one who can help me. Don't worry, I will evaluate your contribution to this escort work according to the highest standards, and I will never let your efforts go to waste."

Ye Xinglan sighed helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face, "Okay, in that case, when will the mission begin, and what specifically do I need to do?"

She understood that the overall situation was more important, and since she couldn't refuse, she could only do her best to complete the task.

Major General Lucy's expression eased slightly, and she said gently, "The party will officially start in about two days. Your work is actually not that complicated."

"You just need to temporarily serve as a personal guard for an important person and be responsible for his personal safety throughout the process. Other matters will be taken care of by other personnel, so you don't have to worry too much."

"That's good." Ye Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
