Douluo: The Road to Invincibility Begins with Bibi Dong

Chapter 208 Opening a Bank
Bibi Dong fell silent after hearing this.

All that nonsense he said about continuing to give birth made her want to kick him out.

But she could still feel Li Ling's heartfelt fascination with her.

Her feelings towards Li Ling can be said to be very complicated.

At the beginning, she hated Li Ling, hated the world, hated everyone, including herself.

She hated Li Ling for what he had done to her in the secret room, and she hated Yu Xiaogang for finding someone like Li Ling to humiliate her.

She hated Qian Renxue, because Qian Renxue's existence undoubtedly reminded her all the time of what happened in the secret room that year, making it impossible for her to forget it even if she wanted to.

At the same time, she hated herself.

She hated herself for hating Li Ling emotionally, to the point that she would feel that even skinning Li Ling alive and pulling out his tendons would be a mercy to him. It seemed that only by making Li Ling unable to live or die could she relieve the hatred in her heart.

But even under this overwhelming hatred, her body seemed to like Li Ling very much.

She liked him so much that even during the years when she hated Li Ling, she would occasionally dream about what happened in the secret room that night at night, and in the midst of the overwhelming hatred, she would still feel something in her body.

This made her hate Li Ling, but also made her extremely disgusted with her body that had the same feelings as that night.

The split between her mind and body, coupled with the thoughts of Rakshasa God chattering in her mind all those years, made her suffer greatly.

This is also why her behavior was somewhat disjointed after meeting Li Ling again.

Obviously she hated Li Ling, but when she was controlled by Li Ling again in the forest, she could just sit there and let Li Ling do what he wanted.

Mentally speaking, she hated Li Ling at that time, but physically speaking, her body liked Li Ling.

As the number of times increased, she acted as if she had accepted her fate. In fact, it was not that she had accepted her fate mentally, but that her body was still attached to Li Ling.

In addition, later on, Rakshasa God also began to side with Li Ling, and would speak well of Li Ling in front of her from time to time. Whenever she was conflicted, Rakshasa God's thoughts would jump out and use words to seduce her to be Li Ling's woman.

As a result, she no longer has much hatred towards Li Ling.

At most, what Li Ling did at certain times was really contrary to her character, which gave her a headache and made her a little crazy.

For example, the loud shout I heard just now was really refreshing.

Bibi Dong was silent for a long time, and then she opened her red lips slightly: "Opening a bank that is above the two empires and the Spirit Hall, why do you think I will help you?"

"You said you wanted to open a tissue factory, but do you know how much gold soul coins the bank can bring to the Spirit Hall every year? Do you know what this means to the Spirit Hall and to me?"

Personally, she doesn't care about gold soul coins.

But she is ambitious, she wants to lead the Spirit Hall to unify the entire continent.

If you want to unify the entire continent, you cannot do without the Gold Soul Coin.

Gold soul coins are needed to win people's hearts and train soul masters.

There are too many places that need to use gold soul coins. If Li Ling really sets up a bank that is above the two empires and the Spirit Hall, it will undoubtedly become a huge threat to the Spirit Hall's bank.

Li Ling smiled and nodded: "I know, don't you just want to unify the entire continent?"

"But there are many ways to unify the continent, not just relying on force."

"Oh?" Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows slightly, and became curious about Li Ling's words.

Li Ling hugged her flexible waist and said with a smile: "First, let's talk about the unified continent you imagine."

"Let's not talk about what kind of resistance you will encounter when you unify the continent. Let's just assume that you can unify the continent successfully by force as you wish."

"But what about after that? How long do you think the continent you forcibly unified in that way can remain unified?"

"One thousand years, or ten thousand years."

"Even under your rule, the continent can always maintain unity, but what happens next?"

"Does the future successor of the Spirit Hall have that ability?"

“But it would be different if we did it another way.”

"We can start with the economy first, and unify the entire continent from the economy first." Bibi Dong looked thoughtful and said, "Let's talk about how to unify the entire continent from the economy first."

The method proposed by Li Ling is somewhat unheard of and refreshing.

Li Ling smiled and said, "We can first establish a business empire that can control the economic direction of the entire continent, such as my Li Group."

"For a country, the economy is undoubtedly the top priority."

"When our business empire is powerful enough to influence the economic direction of an empire, or even control the economy of that empire, even the emperor of that empire will have to listen to what we say."

"By then, even if there are still two empires, three empires, or even ten thousand nations coexisting in name, what difference will that make? How is that any different from a unified country?"

"Besides, the world you imagined where there is no distinction between nobles and commoners is a bit too idealistic."

"Even if the title of nobility no longer exists in the future, the distinction between noble and humble will always exist, whether it is for humans or other creatures. This cannot be changed."

"Without farmers to farm, what will you eat? If teachers need to farm themselves to make a living, who will teach your children?"

"If the guards go to farm, who will catch the criminals? If the officials go to farm, who will handle local affairs and keep the place from chaos?"

"If you, the Pope, go to farm, who will handle government affairs and keep this huge continent running in an orderly manner?"

"Every industry needs people to do things, and different jobs mean different incomes, so the distinction between the noble and the humble will naturally always exist."

"Besides, I have already opened Shrek Academy. My Shrek Academy is a money-losing institution that provides welfare to the lower classes. I think it has done something for your ideal world."

When Bibi Dong heard this, she looked at him deeply and said expressionlessly, "If not for this, why do you think I would agree to the Spirit Hall's grant of sponsorship to your academy?"

"If you hadn't really done something that I thought was acceptable, why would I turn a blind eye to you using the Pope's decree to seize other people's property?"

How could she not know what Li Ling did in Tiandou City with the Pope's order?

She is not Qian Renxue, who can unconditionally support Li Ling in anything because of their father-daughter relationship.

But she won't.

She gave Li Ling the Pope's Order in the first place just to make it easier for Li Ling to come to the Spirit Hall and to avoid any conflicts between Li Ling and the people in the Spirit Hall.

Who would have thought that Li Ling would actually take the Pope's order and use the name of Spirit Hall to seize other people's property.

If she was still shouting that the Pope's decree was not enough, he could also call Bibi Dong over.

It is precisely because Li Ling's Shrek Academy has indeed done a lot in cultivating grassroots soul masters, and Shrek Academy spends money like water.

Only then did she turn a blind eye to Li Ling's use of the Pope's order to seize other people's property under the banner of martial spirit.

Although Shrek Academy does not belong to the Spirit Hall, nor is it hers, she can rely on her relationship with Li Ling, as well as the relationship between Qian Renxue and Li Ling.

Even if the people trained in Shrek Academy may not be able to be used by the Spirit Hall, they will most likely not become enemies of the Spirit Hall.

Li Ling could seize other people's properties under her name, and in the future she could naturally use Li Ling's name to recruit students who graduated from Shrek Academy into the Spirit Hall.

The help she gave to Li Ling was not the kind of unselfish help that Qian Renxue gave her.

"What you said is so chilling. I thought you invested in Shrek Academy because you loved me."

Li Ling reached out and pinched her cheek, pulling it hard. Seeing that Bibi Dong was about to get angry, he quickly changed the subject.

"Let's continue. In addition to the economy, we also need to have a certain amount of strength to prevent others from forcibly confiscating our property."

"This is why I would rather lose money than expand Shrek Academy."

In fact, there was something he didn't say, which was that he planned to unify the continent in another way.

For example, if he lets his children become the heirs to the two empires and the Spirit Hall, wouldn't that also be considered unifying the continent?

It is even possible to let Ning Rongrong's children take over the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Tang Yuehua's children take over the Haotian Sect.

Wouldn't it be possible to unify the continent just by having children?

Why do we have to fight and kill?
