Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 482 Compromise

"Besides, you saw how Brother Fusheng looked just now. If I take the initiative, how could he possibly refuse me?"

"You..." Gu Yue looked at Na'er with some frustration.

Na'er said disdainfully, "Hmph, what do you mean 'you'? I'm not like you. Hesitation leads to defeat. Now that we have amnesia as a cover, no one will doubt our relationship with Brother Fusheng."

"Besides, although it sounds a bit narcissistic, with our looks, if we were to show interest in Brother Fusheng, could he possibly refuse? You've seen how his attitude has changed over the past few months."

"But this is too fast," Gu Yue retorted. "After only a few months together, to give yourself away like this is really... Anyway, I have half the control over my body, and I could never agree to something like this."

"You..." This time it was Na'er who was furious. If Gu Yue was determined to stop her, she really had no way to do anything about it.

Na'er said angrily, "Why do you always like to ruin other people's good things?!"

"Is this a good thing? Don't forget, this is my body too."

"So what do you want? Let me make this clear first, I will never agree to your plan to hold hands."

Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, you absolutely cannot give yourself to him now. You need to spend some time with him, observe him, and build a foundation of feelings before you do so."

Na'er asked, "Didn't you work with Brother Fusheng for a while before? Do you still need to investigate this?"

Gu Yue shook his head and said, "Back then we were partners, now we're companions, how can that be the same?"

Na'er noticed Gu Yue's softened attitude and smiled, "It seems you really do have a lot of feelings for Brother Fusheng."

"Hmph." Gu Yue rolled her eyes at her and continued, "And, and you're not allowed to do that kind of thing anymore."

"What is it?" Na'er asked, puzzled.

Gu Yue blushed and said with a slightly unfocused look, "It's just that we can't force people to swallow or anything like that anymore."

"Oh, you mean this?" Na'er suddenly realized, and gave a mischievous smile. "But you don't seem to dislike it at all. When we had amnesia before, didn't we help Brother Fusheng once? At that time, our consciousness was only 60/40."

Six parts belong to Na'er, and four parts belong to Gu Yue.

"I had amnesia back then, otherwise why would I have done something like that?" Gu Yue couldn't help but glare at Na'er. "Anyway, you can't do that kind of thing again."

"But what if he gets aroused when I'm being intimate with Brother Fusheng? Do you expect him to hold it in, or go to Sister Xiaoyan or the others?"

"This..." Gu Yue thought for a moment, and finally chose to compromise, blushing slightly as she said, "At most, I'll use my hands or feet to help him, anyway, he seems to like this kind of thing."

"Well, this is my bottom line. Do you agree?" Gu Yue looked at Na'er.

"Okay. As long as you don't give your body to Brother Fusheng, and you can only use your hands and feet at most, right?" Na'er didn't want to provoke Gu Yue too much, so she nodded.

"That's right."

"Okay, I agree."

……

Meanwhile, in the office of the governor's residence.

"You mean, you want to build a sanatorium here and then take in some orphans?" Nan Fusheng asked, looking at Aponia across from him.

"Yes." Aponia folded her hands and placed them on her thighs, saying softly, "We need a base here to house those Orks. Although we'll be taking them out to sea later, we still need to find a base here."

"As the governor, you probably don't want to get too involved with those Oukers, so having a sanatorium as a front is not bad. As for why it's a sanatorium, that's just one of my little interests."

Li Xiaochou added, "We don't need to trouble our main body with funding. We have an avatar in Tianhai City who has established a company called Tiantianhao Group. Let them fund the construction."

"Just say it's for charity, that's why you funded the construction of the nursing home, with the aim of giving homeless children a home. Even if it gets exposed later, it won't involve you."

"After all, you just stamped your approval, agreeing to this good thing. Who would have thought a bunch of Oks would openly build a sanatorium?"

Aponia added, "Furthermore, we will continue to operate the nursing home normally. After all, there must be quite a few orphans in Tianhai City, right? It's always a good thing to have a charitable organization."

Nan Fusheng nodded and said, "Okay. But when do you plan to set off, and which continent do you intend to develop your business on?"

It's nothing serious, just a sanatorium. Consider it a good deed. Don't assume that just because Tianhai City is a big city, the people here are all of high quality.

In fact, there are quite a few orphans here. Some lost their families because of evil spirit masters, while others were abandoned by their parents at a young age for various reasons.

"Two days from now," Li Xiaochou said. "We can also take this opportunity to organize things here. We plan to develop our business in the Douling Continent."

This goal was something Li Xiaochou had carefully considered. The Star Luo Continent had far too many high-end combat forces, and its soul guidance technology was extremely advanced. Although it couldn't compare to the Federation, it was still a huge problem.

Even with the Green Skull resistance organization composed of natives, they were still being suppressed by the Star Luo Empire. If it weren't for the secret help from the evil soul masters on the Star Luo Continent, the Green Skull would have been wiped out long ago.

Don't think those evil spirit masters are helping the natives out of kindness. They just want to incite a war between the natives and the Star Luo Empire, and then take the opportunity to harvest more souls.

Even so, the Green Skull organization is on the verge of being crushed by the Star Luo Empire. This fact is confirmed by a message relayed by a branch master of the Spirit Pagoda on the Star Luo Continent, so it's unlikely to be false.

Although having the Oxens join might buy the Green Skull organization some breathing room, Li Xiaochou had no intention of helping them; that would be a thankless task.

Therefore, the remaining Douling Continent is naturally the first choice.

Li Xiaochou had also seen information about the Douling Continent from Nan Fusheng, so he knew it very well.

The Douling Empire on the Douling Continent was established earlier than the Xingluo Empire, and it was also the first to find a continent to live and thrive.

For the first thousand years, almost the entire empire focused its efforts on increasing its population. Initially, fewer than three thousand managed to escape and reach the New World alive. Such a small number was barely enough for the nation to survive.

To encourage childbirth, some people even resorted to incestuous marriage. As a result, for a long period of time, the Douling Empire saw a large number of deformed children. However, not all incestuous pregnancies resulted in problems; normal children were also born.

It was under these circumstances that the Douling Empire was able to recuperate and gradually grow in population size.

The Douling Continent was originally barren, and everything had to be built from scratch. Apart from the soul beasts, which were somewhat similar to those on the Douluo Continent, there weren't even any native humans on this continent. This was the reason why the Douling Empire faced such difficult development.

The original royal surname was changed to Xue after they arrived here, signifying a fresh start. Eventually, things began to flourish and gradually develop.

However, the initial immigrants to the Douling Empire were almost all the purest inhabitants of the Douluo Continent at that time, following tradition.

Moreover, when they left Douluo Continent, soul tools had already developed rapidly. The reason why the Douling Empire was destroyed was because it was not good at soul tools.

Therefore, after arriving here and undergoing a period of rapid population growth, land reclamation, fulfilling basic needs, and continuous national development, the Douling Empire still had zero experience with soul tools. Everything had to start from scratch.

The Douluo Federation maintains a very strict technological blockade on soul tools, primarily targeting the Star Luo Empire, but undoubtedly, the Douling Empire is also constrained as a result. If it weren't for the Tang Sect's frequent secret shipments of soul tools, the Douling Empire would likely be even further behind.

However, the Tang Sect's support for the Douling Empire was also limited; they only sold finished soul tools, but not soul tool technology.

This is a rule passed down from the Tang Sect. The reason is simple: the Tang Sect does not want to see the emergence of an exceptionally powerful empire that can rival the Federation. If that happens, war will obviously be inevitable.

The Tang Sect only hoped to help the traditional people of the Douluo Continent, such as the Douling Empire, to pass on their traditions, but did not want to cause a world war because of themselves.

Of course, this is just a slogan from the Tang Sect, and the actual situation is unknown.

Therefore, the soul guidance technology possessed by the Douling Empire itself was quite limited. After thousands of years of settling down, it has only made some progress, but it is still far behind the Federation.

To give an example, if the Douluo Federation were to launch a war against the Douling Continent, the Douling Empire's army probably wouldn't be able to hold out for even ten days. The disparity in military strength between the two sides is simply too great.

In terms of high-end combat power, the Douling Empire is in a truly appalling state.

Among all the powerful figures controlled by the Douling Empire's royal family, the highest cultivation level is a level 98 Super Douluo; there isn't even a single Limit Douluo. There are no four-word Dou Armor Masters either. There are only three Red-level mechs in the entire Douling Continent.

It's fair to say that it's incomparable to the Star Luo Continent. At least the royal families there have a benevolent figurehead to maintain appearances.

It could be said that if the Tang Sect branch and the Spirit Pagoda branch of the Douling Continent were willing to join forces, the royal family would probably be overthrown in no time.

That's how tragic it is.

Of course, in a one-on-one situation, the Douling Empire could still destroy one of them, albeit at a heavy cost. However, it wouldn't be of much use, since it's just a branch.

Therefore, if a choice had to be made, the Douling Continent would undoubtedly be more suitable for Oukeser's development.

If Li Xiaochou and Aponia go there, as long as they don't fall into a trap, there are almost no people on the entire Douling Continent who can do anything to them.

Not to mention, Li Xiaochou also learned that the entire Douling Empire seems to be particularly eager for Soul Master combat power.

Basically, as long as a Soul Master has outstanding talent and is willing to swear a solemn oath to serve the Douling Empire, they will receive a large amount of resources for training.

However, its effect is minimal. Rather than swearing a blood oath to serve the royal family for life, it's far more worthwhile to join the Tang Sect or the Spirit Pagoda.

Although they cannot compare with the royal family in terms of resources, at least the other two organizations are not as excessive as the royal family, and their constraints are also less.

Li Xiaochou said, "Main body, just use the power of the door to teleport us there. I believe that with your mental strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to do this."

Nan Fusheng nodded and said, "That's not difficult. Do you need any help? For example, by contacting the nobles on the other side. That would make your actions easier."

"No need." Li Xiaochou shook his head and laughed, "The high-end combat power over there is nothing to fear, and those foolish nobles might even take the initiative to contact us after seeing the strength of our Oukser."

That's right. With a royal family, how could there be no nobles? The Douling Continent and the Xingluo Continent are different.

If the Star Luo Continent is martial, and under the iron-fisted leadership of successive emperors, anyone with outstanding abilities will be given important positions.

The situation is different on the Douling Continent. They have almost perfectly inherited some of the bad habits of their predecessor, the Tiandou Empire. As long as one is a noble, regardless of their strength, they will eventually be given important positions.

I heard that the emperors there also tried to change this situation, but unfortunately, after thousands of years, this bad habit still cannot be changed.

Some nobles who were merely sitting on the ground and eating the food of others easily occupied important positions by relying almost entirely on the influence of their elders, thus easily squeezing out those who were capable but lacked connections.

This is why, despite the Douling Empire's development over a thousand years, there are only three Red-level mechs on the entire continent, and not a single Limit Douluo.

I've even heard that in that region, blacksmiths are looked down upon by some nobles. Even though they can forge battle armor parts, others still look down on them and suppress them.

The Douling Empire, held back by a bunch of incompetent teammates and burdened with numerous negative buffs, has managed to hold on until now. This only goes to show how formidable their Spirit Pagoda branch and the Tang Sect truly are.

However, the Spirit Pagoda is now under the control of the Qian Gu family, and it's estimated that the Dou Ling Empire can only rely on the Tang Sect, although they don't know that the Spirit Pagoda plans to sell them out.

Nan Fusheng said no more, "Since you've made your decision, then go and make your mark. I also agree to the sanatorium thing."

"In that case, we won't stay any longer. Farewell." Li Xiaochou stood up, preparing to leave.

"Mm." Nan Fusheng nodded.

"In that case, you should go back first." Aponia smiled and said, "Fors has made an appointment with me, saying she wants me to do her a small favor, so I'll stay here for now."

"it is good."
