Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 749 Nanali Strikes

The magnetic levitation track of the Soul Guide Train scraped the ground, stirring up pale blue arcs of electricity, and slowly came to a stop at the Crystal Dome Station on the outskirts of Mingdu City.

The moment the airtight doors of the ordinary carriages opened, a surge of people, their breath a mixture of sweat and the smell of soul tool oil, poured out. The usually deserted standing area was now packed with people, and even the aisles were overflowing—clearly, most of them were soul masters from all over the country who had come for the Spirit Pagoda's martial arts tournament to find a husband.

In stark contrast, the high-class carriages were quiet.

As the ornate car doors slid open to the sides and a group of people filed out, the surrounding noise seemed to be silenced.

"Yay! We've finally arrived in Mingdu."

Kiana looked at the technologically advanced city in the distance and shouted excitedly.

"Kiana, can you please keep your voice down? You're attracting too much attention." Narcida felt a little embarrassed by her behavior, so she quickly stopped her.

Even if they tried to stop them, it wouldn't have mattered, because the other passengers were already watching them. Some of the more shy passengers were secretly observing, while some of the bolder ones had even taken out their phones to secretly take pictures.

Even without Kiana's cheers, it wouldn't be realistic for them to sneak out of the Soul Guidance Station.

The reason is even simpler: the group of people in this group are just too good-looking.

The presence of a host of stunning beauties, including Kiana, Bai Xiuxiu, Xu Xiaoyan, Qingque, and Xilin, is itself a massive draw for attention.

Even though Nasita was petite, her delicate and lovely face evoked the maternal instincts of many women, making them want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

Nan Fusheng brought his whole family on this trip, including Zi Ji and Nanali.

He originally intended to invite Ye Xinglan from the East Sea Fleet, but was told that Ye Xinglan had already left the East Sea Fleet to participate in the reconstruction of Shrek Academy, so he gave up on it.

"Let's go quickly."

Seeing the crowd gathering, Nan Fusheng secretly channeled his soul power to form an invisible barrier around himself and took the lead.

Three streamlined soul-guided cars were already waiting at the VIP entrance. Their matte black bodies reflected the platform lights, and the guards standing beside the car doors wore the Federal Central Badge.

Nan Fusheng helped Xu Xiaoyan into the middle vehicle, while Naxida nimbly climbed into the passenger seat.

……

As the convoy pulled out of the station area, Nan Fusheng rolled down the window a crack. A gust of wind, carrying the roar of machinery, rushed into the carriage, along with shouts rising and falling from both sides of the street: "Goddess! Goddess Gu Yuena!"

He looked out the window at the huge floating advertisement—the image was the pale purple figure looking back in the desert from the video that day, with the words "July 18th - Spirit Pagoda Martial Arts Tournament for Marriage" written in gilded characters below.

"The Spirit Pagoda's publicity this time is really impressive."

Xu Xiaoyan gazed at the holographic projections flashing past the window. The battle clips playing on a loop were edited to be extremely impactful: the light explosion of the silver-armored war god colliding with the fireball, the tranquil profile of someone combing their hair by the waterfall—every frame precisely struck the audience's aesthetic nerves.

With the support of parliamentary resources, the Spirit Tower utilized the soul communication network covering the entire continent. Floating advertisements alone filled the skies above thirty-seven major cities, and countless other investments of all sizes were made.

What's most astonishing is the precision of information control—aside from the two released videos and the identity of "Spirit Transmission Envoy Gu Yuena," all core information about her, such as her age, martial spirit, and spirit ring configuration, has been blocked.

This blank space, on the contrary, aroused the enthusiasm of the whole people to explore the mystery. In the Soul Guide Shop on the streets of Mingdu, the merchandise printed with her profile was sold out, and even the cosplay costume of "Gu Yuena's silver armor" was out of stock.

"Look over there!" Nasita suddenly pointed out the car window.

In the open-air training ground on the street corner, a dozen young soul masters were frantically unleashing their soul skills in front of a virtual projection. One of them, a blond-haired boy, shouted while throwing a punch, "There are only twenty-seven days left until the martial arts tournament to find a husband. I must reach the sixth ring!"

Nan Fusheng noticed that they all wore armbands with the character "Gu" printed on them, clearly indicating that they were fanatical followers.

This phenomenon has been common in Mingdu—those who have reached the required level of cultivation regard the martial arts contest as a ladder to heaven, while those who are not yet qualified see it as motivation for cultivation. The entire continent's young soul masters are stirred up by this grand event.

……

Although the martial arts contest to find a husband is still almost a month away, hotel prices in Mingdu are soaring.

Even ordinary small hotels are now priced as high as luxury hotels.

The powerful figures from all sides, as well as the ordinary people who came to watch the battle, were all looking forward to the arrival of such a grand event.

Meanwhile, the Federation, in conjunction with the Spirit Pagoda, also profited immensely from broadcasting and tourism. The reason for pushing this initiative within the Federation was simple: to cover up the political impact of the war defeat and divert public attention.

Nan Fusheng and his group naturally didn't need to worry about accommodations, as they would rest at the branch tower of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Mingdu.

If the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, located in the heart of the continent, is like a tightly clenched iron fist, holding the organization's most elite armed forces in its palm.

Then the branch tower of the Spirit Transmission Tower located in Mingdu is the sharp blade extended from this iron fist, and its combat power is enough to rank second.

After all, the Federation headquarters is located here, so the Spirit Pagoda has invested a lot of resources here, directly buying a large piece of land near the Spirit Pagoda branch to create a special commercial street.

The Mingdu Spirit Pagoda has over a hundred floors and is more than four hundred meters tall. Even in the high-rise-filled Mingdu, it is a landmark building.

The base of this spirit tower is octagonal, covering a vast area. Every ten stories, it narrows inwards until it reaches the spire at the top. Even from the outside, one can feel its magnificent and imposing presence.

The three cars drove directly into the underground parking garage and entered the VIP parking area. Nan Fusheng and the others got out of the cars one by one, passed through a small door where someone was already waiting to unlock the keypad lock for them and enter the elevator.

The elevator ascended straight up and stopped at the ninety-fifth floor.

"Ding."

The elevator doors opened, revealing a woman in a white dress standing quietly at the elevator entrance. She had long, jet-black hair that cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, her skin was as white as snow, and her black eyes were clear and bright, like the purest obsidian.

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up instantly. Almost as soon as the elevator doors opened, she quickly stepped out, opened her arms, and gave the woman at the door a big hug.

The hug was unusually tight, as if it contained a thousand words, and upon closer inspection, it also carried a deep sense of apology.

Fors paused slightly, then reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Xu Xiaoyan's back. She could feel the tension in the person in her arms, and that unusual passion.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyan? Do you miss me that much?" she asked softly, her voice as melodious as a mountain stream.

Xu Xiaoyan buried her face in Fors's shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah, I missed you so much." But she knew in her heart that this hug was more out of guilt for her having secretly given Nan Fusheng a third wife without telling him.

After a brief hug, Fors held Nasita in his arms as naturally as if she were a large doll, and smiled at the group: "Let's go, everyone will be staying in the branch tower here for the next few days, we have a long time to talk."

In the Mingdu Spirit Transmission Tower, apart from the 100th floor which is used for meetings, only the absolute upper floors of the Spirit Transmission Tower above the 90th floor are qualified to be inhabited.

Fors used a little of his authority to reserve all ninety-five floors. Incidentally, Gu Yuena lives on the ninety-sixth floor. Kiana rubbed her stomach and said, "More importantly, can I eat first?"

Upon hearing this, Fors chuckled and said, "Of course, I'll arrange for the chef to prepare it right now. We can rest in the living room for a while and wait for dinner to start." As she spoke, she pointed to a large door not far ahead.

"Alright."

Led by Fors, the group passed through the door and entered a spacious and bright hall.

The living room is decorated in a modern and minimalist style. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the entire Mingdu City. The soft sofas are neatly arranged, and the coffee table is set with exquisite tea sets and some fruits and snacks.

Everyone took their seats on the sofa. Fors, holding Narcida, sat on a single sofa next to the main seat, and then, like petting a cat, began to cuddle and suck on Narcida intensely.

"Ugh!" Nasita felt a little uncomfortable with her and pushed her away with a look of helplessness on her face. "Don't do that, I'm not a lesbian."

Upon hearing this, Fors couldn't help but laugh. She gently pinched Nasita's cheek and teased her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless."

Sitting to the side, Bai Xiuxiu kept secretly observing Fors. She had already heard about Fors's deeds, knew that she was Nan Fusheng's other wife, and was also aware of her status and abilities in the Spirit Pagoda.

But when she actually met him in person, Bai Xiuxiu was still somewhat surprised.

The woman before her was even more beautiful than she had imagined, with a more unique temperament. In particular, her intimate behavior with Nasita just now was unbelievable to Bai Xiuxiu.

Others may not understand the horror of Nasita, but doesn't she?

However, Fors dared to pick her up and knead her like a rag doll, and although Nasida was somewhat dissatisfied, she did not really get angry, which shocked Bai Xiuxiu.

"She probably doesn't know who Senior Nasida is, right?"

Just as Bai Xiuxiu was pondering to herself, Fors seemed to notice her gaze and suddenly turned his head, his dark eyes looking straight at Bai Xiuxiu.

"!!!"

The moment that gaze was fixed on her, Bai Xiuxiu felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, and the hairs on her body stood on end, as if she were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

Fortunately, the gaze lasted only a moment before it was withdrawn.

When Bai Xiuxiu came to her senses, she realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat.

"How...how terrifying!" she exclaimed inwardly. Although Fors hadn't done anything, just that one glance from him made her feel as if he had seen right through her and exposed all her secrets to him.

Xu Xiaoyan noticed Bai Xiuxiu's unusual behavior and also saw Fors's gaze just now. She quickly introduced, "This is Bai Xiuxiu. Due to some special reasons, she is currently serving as Fusheng's secretary."

She paused, then turned to Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, this is Fors, whom I told you about before."

Bai Xiuxiu quickly stood up and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, Miss Fors."

Fors smiled gently at Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, you don't need to be so polite, just call me by my name. Xiaoyan told me about your matter through soul communication before." Her gaze lingered on Bai Xiuxiu for a moment, a barely perceptible glint in her eyes. "Seeing is believing, you're even more beautiful and special than I imagined~"

Upon hearing Fors's words, Bai Xiuxiu's heart tightened.

"Could she have seen through my identity?!" This thought flashed through her mind instantly, causing her body to freeze involuntarily, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.

"No, calm down! With the disguise given to me by Leviathan and the others, it shouldn't be so easy for them to see through my soul beast identity." She kept reassuring herself, trying to calm her inner tension and unease.

Fors seemed oblivious to Bai Xiuxiu's inner turmoil. She simply smiled, then turned back to continue chatting with Xu Xiaoyan, Naxida, and the others.

The atmosphere in the living room gradually became relaxed and harmonious, and everyone began to talk about their recent lives and future plans, as if the brief tension just now was just an illusion.

At the same time, Nanali looked at Fors, her mind racing: "Finally, I've met this woman. I must find an opportunity to test her and see if her control methods are still effective against me."

Nunnally will never be a slave, even if it means being provided with food and lodging.

……

The day passed quickly amidst pleasant conversation.

After everyone finished dinner, they all headed to the rooms that Fors had arranged for them.

Xu Xiaoyan gave Fors a mysterious smile and whispered in her ear, "I'm entrusting Fusheng to you today."

With that, the girl pushed Nan Fusheng toward Fors, gave him a encouraging look, and ran toward another room.

"Really." Nan Fusheng smiled helplessly.

Fors gently stroked her hair, licked her pink lips, and gave him a charming smile: "Looks like I'll be in for a good time tonight. I hope you can satisfy me."

“Who’s afraid of who?” Nan Fusheng retorted defiantly.

However, when the two returned to their room, they found Nanali blocking the doorway.

Nan Fusheng looked at her with some surprise, "Junior, what's going on?"

But Nanali ignored him and instead looked at Fors, saying, "I want to come too."

Fors' eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled, "Okay!"

She! She didn't punish me!

Nanali felt a sense of relief. Could it be that this woman's methods had really failed? No, no, it's not certain yet. She needs to provoke her a little more!
Nanali mustered her courage and said, "I want to be the first one up."

Fors looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay."

Huh? After all that provocation, this woman hasn't punished her yet. Does that mean I'm really free now?

Nanali's courage grew considerably in an instant. "I... I need your help to massage my back."

"can."

The woman's methods had truly failed, and Nanali was overjoyed.

But before she could react, Fors pulled her into the house.
