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

Chapter 495 The Angry Gu Yue

Originally, Murasaki wanted to keep her original dragon scale armor form, but due to Fors's insistence, she changed into a maid outfit.

After all, while the dragon scale armor form was quite nice, it was inevitably somewhat revealing. Of course, that wasn't what Fors cared about; her main concern was that Zi Ji appear before Gu Yue Na dressed as a maid.

Anyway, if anyone wants to see Murasaki's dragon scale armor form, she can always have Murasaki take off her maid outfit. It just goes to show that dragons truly live up to their name; even in human form, their dragon scales can serve as clothing.

"Greetings, Master. I am Zi Ji."

Murasaki gracefully crossed her hands in front of her, her arms naturally bent, her posture dignified and serene, displaying the demeanor of a lady.

"Hello." Xu Xiaoyan nodded, then turned to Fors and asked curiously, "And who is this?"

Although Zi Ji was dressed as a maid, her demeanor was anything but that of a maid. In Xu Xiaoyan's opinion, none of the many upper-class people she had met could compare to Zi Ji in terms of temperament.

If Xu Xiaoyan were to describe Zi Ji, she would probably say noble? Cold and aloof? In short, extraordinary. Moreover, when Xu Xiaoyan's spiritual power swept over Zi Ji, she could feel her unfathomable depth.

A Title Douluo! The opponent is at least a Title Douluo, and possibly even stronger!

How could such a noble and aloof woman call her "master"? Is this some kind of hobby or interest of hers?

"Let me introduce you. This is Zi Ji, who will be our manor's future steward. She was once my captive, and after some training, she now lives in our home as a servant."

"In terms of strength, she should be comparable to a level 98 Title Douluo. If you need anything in the future, you can entrust her with your tasks. Consider her a defensive line I've left in this mansion. With her around, the mansion's defenses will be greatly enhanced."

Fors snapped his fingers, and Ziji immediately understood and came over to massage Fors' shoulders.

"This...this!"

Xu Xiaoyan stared in disbelief at the scene. A servant of a Super Douluo—this was something she had never expected. How had Fors managed to subdue the other party and make him willingly submit to her commands?

Is this really reliable?

"You can rest assured about what I do," Fors said with a smile, as if she could read Xu Xiaoyan's mind.

As long as Zi Ji doesn't unleash her full power and reveal her beastly characteristics, even a Title Douluo wouldn't be able to easily discern her true form. Just like Xu Xiaoyan now, whose spiritual power has reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, yet he can't tell that Zi Ji is a soul beast at all.

"Purple Princess!" A cry filled with shock and indignation suddenly rang out in the silent sea of ​​consciousness.

Gu Yuena was startled and immediately looked away. She could clearly sense that the consciousness representing Gu Yue in her mind was surging and almost out of control. If she let her gaze linger any longer, she feared that the power of rage would burst forth like a flood, instantly overwhelming her rational defenses.

"That woman! That woman! How dare she!" Gu Yue's roar echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness, each word seemingly carrying the power of thunder.

In Gu Yuena's mental world, it was as if a storm was raging. Gu Yue's fiery eyes were fixed on everything happening outside, her gaze filled with disbelief and raging fury.

Gu Yue knew Zi Ji's personality inside and out, which stemmed from her deep-seated understanding of the dragon race's proud nature.

As a dragon, Zi Ji was born with an innate sense of nobility and pride, a pride deeply ingrained in her blood and permeating her soul. Given her temperament, how could Zi Ji easily submit to anyone else?

In the rigidly hierarchical system of the dragon race, the difference in bloodline level is like an insurmountable chasm. Lower-ranking dragons have no choice but to obey higher-ranking dragons; this is an ironclad rule engraved in their genes from the very beginning of life.

However, Fors was just a human. She had neither the awe-inspiring power of the dragon bloodline, nor did she have the capital to make Zi Ji submit.

Gu Yue was filled with doubt and anger; in her logic, all of this was completely illogical.

Therefore, Gu Yue firmly believed that Fors must have used some mysterious and unpredictable means to break through Zi Ji's psychological defenses and firmly control her.

Judging from Zi Ji's current composed demeanor and seemingly willing service, she has most likely undergone deep brainwashing, with her thoughts and will subtly altered. In Gu Yue's eyes, such behavior is undoubtedly a blatant challenge to her authority and a wanton trampling on the dignity of the dragon race, how could it not enrage her?

As one of the few remaining dragons on the Douluo Continent, Gu Yue held Zi Ji in high regard.

After all, the potential of the Hell Dragon is not low. Not to mention, in terms of bloodline concentration, even during the heyday of the dragon race, Zi Ji would definitely rank in the top tier.

It's only because the dragon race is now dwindling and soul beasts have been forbidden by the divine realm from ever becoming gods. Otherwise, Zi Ji would have been perfectly capable of becoming a god.

but!

Zi Ji, the subordinate who should have been at her beck and call, was now completely disregarding her status and position, meticulously serving Fors. She had just finished massaging Fors's shoulders, her movements gentle and focused, as if it were the most important mission of her life.

Now, she naturally moved her hands to Fors's calves, her fingers skillfully applying pressure to the muscles and meridians, each press precise and accurate. Her earnestness was so glaring to Gu Yue.

The maid outfit that Zi Ji wore swayed slightly with her movements. What Gu Yue had originally seen as a symbol of elegance and obedience now seemed like a silent mockery.

Her face remained beautiful and charming, but her expression was filled with a strange "loyalty" that should have belonged to Gu Yue, but Fors had quietly stolen it by some imperceptible means.

A surge of intense anger coursed through Gu Yue's heart, causing Gu Yue Na's hands outside to clench into fists involuntarily, her nails digging deep into her palms. The stinging pain did nothing to quell the fury in her heart.

She pondered to herself what kind of sorcery Fors had used to break through Zi Ji's mental defenses and transform her into this state.

"Calm down, it's not the right time to make a move. We need to find an opportunity to test Zi Ji." A ruthless glint flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. She had always been quite distant from Fors, but now her favorability towards him plummeted as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, until it reached zero.

In Gu Yue's interpersonal relationship rating system, if ten points is the maximum score to measure the degree of liking for others, Na'er gave full marks to both Nan Fusheng and Fors without reservation.

However, Gu Yue was completely different from Na'er. Her experience with Fors at Shrek Academy laid the foundation for their indifferent relationship.

At that time, they were like two skew lines, rarely intersecting and exchanging only a handful of words. Such sparse interaction meant that Gu Yue's initial liking for Fors remained only around two points.

In comparison, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and other companions would be rated four out of ten in her heart. Through their daily interactions and experiences, they have built a relatively stable and close friendship with Gu Yue.

Zi Ji, Di Tian, ​​and others, as the last survivors of the Soul Beast race, received a five- to six-point rating from Gu Yue based on their individual traits and abilities, as well as their contributions to the revival of the Soul Beast race.

Tang Wulin, on the other hand, had a slight edge, holding a rather special place in Gu Yue's heart with a favorability rating of 6.5.

As for Nan Fusheng, Gu Yue initially only had a four-point favorability rating for him. However, as half a year quietly passed, through daily interactions and adjustments, the relationship between the two gradually underwent subtle and profound changes.

Especially the special experience she had recently had that made her cheeks flush slightly and her heart flutter with shyness, was like an unexpected spring rain that nourished the soil of their feelings for each other, causing her affection for Nan Fusheng to sprout like a bud and quickly rise to around eight points.

This significant elevation also signifies a major shift in Nan Fusheng's status in her heart, gradually transforming him from an ordinary acquaintance into a highly valued and important figure.

However, Fors's feelings took a turn for the worse during this emotional shift. The already meager level of goodwill towards Murasaki collapsed to zero in an instant after the incident of Murasaki being "controlled" by Fors.

The last vestiges of affection, like fragile spider silk, crumbled in the face of the storms of reality, vanishing without a trace.

At this moment, in Gu Yue's eyes, Fors had completely become a source of anger and dissatisfaction. The faint goodwill that had once been felt had been deeply buried under intense disgust and vigilance.

"Gu Yue, calm down." Na'er advised Gu Yue in the sea of ​​consciousness, otherwise she was really afraid that Gu Yue would act rashly and run away.

"Na'er, don't worry, I'm calm." Gu Yue took a deep breath, calming her anger. Anyway, Fors would be going to the Spirit Tower headquarters soon, so she would naturally have plenty of time to contact Zi Ji and see what Fors had done to her.

At this moment, Nan Fusheng suddenly said, "Xiaoyan, don't worry. Although Fors has left, Xinglan and the others should come and stay with us for a while, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Xinglan?" Xu Xiaoyan pondered for a moment before finally recalling the figure with the sword in her memory. She asked with some surprise, "Is she still alive?"

Xu Xiaoyan was unaware that Tang Wulin and the others were still alive, and Nan Fusheng hadn't specifically told her either. Therefore, Xu Xiaoyan had always believed that her former companions had perished in the explosion.

Surprisingly, there were still survivors.

"Yes." Nan Fusheng explained, "It's not just her, Wu Lin and the others are also alive. They are currently working hard to revive Shrek Academy, so they have chosen to join the army to gain certain rights so that they can revitalize Shrek Academy in the future."

Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Did the captain and the others come together?"

"No," Nan Fusheng shook his head and said, "Only Xinglan and Lizhi are left; the others have all joined the army in other regions."

That's right. After emerging from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Tang Wulin and his companions made arrangements after discussing with the Amorous Douluo.

First, joining the army is inevitable, but they can't join together. Six people together would be too conspicuous and would hinder their development in the military.

At the same time, after careful consideration, Zang Xin decided to let Tang Wulin and the others develop their careers in the military under their original identities. Only in this way, once they have established themselves in the military, can they officially represent Shrek Academy.

If someone joins the military by disguising themselves, even if they rise to a high position in the future, once it is revealed that they are a person in disguise, their identity will be impossible to verify, and they will become the main target of attacks from their opponents.

However, joining the army under one's original identity naturally increases the danger, especially if discovered by an evil spirit master, which would be life-threatening. One could very well be killed.

Although the situation on the mainland has temporarily stabilized, it is a turbulent time, and it is also the time when the Tang Sect is being suppressed in all aspects, and the potential supporters of Shrek Academy are being suppressed the most.

With too many enemies targeting the Tang Clan, even if the two hall masters of the Tang Clan acted simultaneously, they would be unable to change the situation.

Therefore, patience is undoubtedly their first priority. They should wait until this storm has completely passed before making any further moves.

Therefore, they had to join the army in places that were under their control or places that were difficult to detect.

The first step is to separate the six people; it is much easier to hide one person in an army than to hide six people in an army at the same time.

Therefore, they were all assigned to different military regions by the Tang Sect using their hidden connections. They all used their original identities, but on the surface, they all had connections with the Tang Sect and the master craftsman Zhenhua, and even used some hidden connections of Shrek Academy for cover.

Although the Holy Spirit Douluo had no interest in power, he was still aware of the influence Shrek Academy wielded. The military still had some loyal supporters of Shrek Academy, just as the Northern Navy Legion was essentially the private domain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

With this arrangement, the six people were divided into four groups. Tang Wulin went to the western region, while Le Zhengyu went to his hometown, the Southern Army.

Xie Xie and Yuan Enye went to the northern region, while Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi came to the eastern region.

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi were supposed to report to Donghai City, but they remembered that Nan Fusheng had said that he was quite influential in Tianhai City and had a close relationship with the commander of the Donghai Army Corps, so they decided to come to Tianhai City first.

While using connections is shameful, it can be effective. Isn't starting with a high-level position much better than struggling to find your way through life? A higher position means faster promotions.

Not to mention, as one of the Shrek Seven Devils of our time, Ye Xinglan and the others are quite confident in their abilities.

Moreover, it was Zang Xin's idea to bring Ye Xinglan and the others to Tianhai City. The monstrous insects on Ye Xinglan's body were always a source of instability, and having someone look after her would at least provide some reassurance.
