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

Chapter 535 Xu Lizhi: Sister Xinglan is even more feminine now

"You haven't paid your grain tax from last night yet."

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan's words, Nan Fusheng's mind went blank for a moment, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused. Ye Xinglan had taken all of his rations from last night.

"So what do you want?" Nan Fusheng asked cautiously.

"Awooo~" Xu Xiaoyan first let out a cute and playful "dragon roar" that was also a bit of a feigned anger. Then, with lightning speed, she gently pushed Nan Fusheng onto the sofa with both hands.

He leaned forward, pressing his hands firmly against Nan Fusheng's shoulders, a fierce look on his face, and said firmly, "Now you must make up for the grain tax."

Nan Fusheng tried to resist, gripping Xu Xiaoyan's wrists tightly with both hands, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Can't we wait until tonight?"

"Tonight?" Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Nan Fusheng, filled with suspicion.

A moment later, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and said with a hint of teasing, "Are you impotent? If that's the case, then I might let you off the hook. I'll have someone make you some tonic later."

"Who are you calling incompetent?" Nan Fusheng was furious upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan's words. He wondered who was begging for mercy every night.

The only reason he didn't want to be here was because he was worried about Ye Xinglan hiding under the desk. Now that Xu Xiaoyan was provoking him like this, how could Nan Fusheng tolerate it? Anyway, it wasn't like he hadn't shown it to Ye Xinglan before.

"Oh~" Seeing that Nan Fusheng had been successfully provoked by her, Xu Xiaoyan curled up a smug smile and her eyes were full of provocation. She gently beckoned to Nan Fusheng and said softly, "Since that's the case, then bring it on and let me see just how capable you are."

"Come on then." Nan Fusheng was completely enraged by this provocation. He suddenly flipped over and pinned Xu Xiaoyan down, his hands beginning to roam freely over her body.

Xu Xiaoyan was not to be outdone. She wrapped her arms tightly around Nan Fusheng's neck and her legs tightly around his waist. Their bodies were pressed together, as if they wanted to merge into each other.

It has to be said that Xu Xiaoyan must have planned this all along, coming to find him dressed in a loose-fitting bathrobe. With a gentle tug, her alabaster-like skin was exposed to Nan Fusheng's eyes.

This "fight" lasted for a full hour, with the two becoming increasingly engrossed and their emotions becoming more and more intense.

However, this caused trouble for Ye Xinglan, who was under the desk.

Under the desk, Ye Xinglan was curled up, her hands tightly covering her ears, trying to block out the seductive music. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with anger and helplessness.

"You beasts!" Ye Xinglan suppressed her anger and cursed in a low voice.

You tormented her so badly last night, and now she still has the energy to mess around with Xu Xiaoyan? What kind of animal is she?

Looking at Xu Xiaoyan's slightly protruding belly, Nan Fusheng laughed and said, "How about it, are you convinced or not?"

Just kidding. If Gu Yue and Na'er joined forces, he might have a bit of a problem, but Xu Xiaoyan is nothing. Even though Nan Fusheng has spent a lot of energy on Ye Xinglan, he still has no problem controlling her.

Moreover, in front of Xu Xiaoyan, Nan Fusheng never needed to hide his regenerative abilities as a mythical creature. Compared to that, how could Xu Xiaoyan possibly be his match?

"I'm not convinced." To everyone's surprise, Xu Xiaoyan was still being stubborn. She turned over, her back to Nan Fusheng, and said, "I can still fight. Let's go again."

"What a little rascal." Since Xu Xiaoyan still dared to be stubborn, Nan Fusheng naturally had to continue to suppress her. He grabbed Xu Xiaoyan's slender waist and then charged forward like a pig!

The "slap slap slap" sound rang out again.

"Isn't he tired?!" Ye Xinglan, who was under the desk, was stunned. Although she didn't know much about matters between men and women, she had heard some things about them.

Isn't it said that after a man succeeds, he should at least rest for a while before continuing? Even if a Soul Master's body is stronger than an ordinary person's, after several successes, he should at least need to take a break.

It's unbelievable that Nan Fusheng could continue fighting with Xu Xiaoyan now, after having a fierce battle with her just last night.

Ye Xinglan didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

"My body is a little numb." Ye Xinglan couldn't help but stretch her body. She had been hiding under the desk for a whole hour, and her body was already a little numb.

While stretching, Ye Xinglan secretly peeked out from behind the desk and looked towards the sofa. She wanted to see if Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan had finished yet.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xinglan froze in shock.

What did she see?! Nan Fusheng was actually riding a horse! Using Xu Xiaoyan's hair as a saddle, Nan Fusheng began to gallop.

From Ye Xinglan's perspective, she could only see Nan Fusheng's back and Xu Xiaoyan's fair back; she couldn't see the whole scene. But even so, Ye Xinglan could easily guess what the scene looked like from the front!

"I could forgive him for doing it with Fors last time, but why is he doing it with Xiaoyan too? Doesn't he think it's dirty?" Ye Xinglan felt she had learned something.

However, she realized what she had done in the next moment and muttered a curse: Who wants to learn this kind of stupid knowledge!

This battle didn't last long, ending in just over ten minutes. It wasn't that Nan Fusheng couldn't continue, but rather that it was almost time for breakfast.

"Let's see if you dare to provoke me again." Nan Fusheng patted Xu Xiaoyan's pert buttocks.

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Nan Fusheng and said, "You didn't beat me this time either, it was just a draw at best. I'll make you pay tonight."

Nan Fusheng readily accepted the challenge, laughing, "Then we'll see who has the last laugh."

"Who's afraid of who?"

As the bickering between Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan faded into the distance, Ye Xinglan immediately crawled out from under the desk, then ran to the door of the study, peeking around like a thief.

Only after confirming that no one was around did Ye Xinglan sneak back to her room to wash up. She waited for her servant to come and tell her it was time to eat before she came out with a normal expression.

……

"My lord, a fat man is requesting an audience outside the governor's residence. He claims to be your classmate, named Xu Lizhi. What should we do with him?"

When Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan sat down at the dinner table, Zi Ji suddenly came over and reported to Nan Fusheng.

Nan Fusheng slapped his forehead, then suddenly realized, "Oh, it's Lizhi! Ziji, go and invite him in, and also tell Xinglan that it's time to eat."

"Yes," Zi Ji replied respectfully.

Soon, a large, fat man with bloodshot eyes and a weary face followed Zi Ji in. Upon seeing Nan Fusheng, Xu Lizhi immediately felt as if he had found his pillar of support, and cried out:

"Fusheng, we were intercepted by the War God Temple on the road between Canghai City and Tianhai City. Sister Xinglan faced the War God Temple's people alone to cover me. I hope you can help me and mobilize your forces to find her."

Nan Fusheng nodded and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've rescued Xinglan, and she's resting here with me now." Just as Nan Fusheng finished speaking, Ye Xinglan was led over by a servant to have her meal.

"Sister Xinglan!" Xu Lizhi immediately rushed over excitedly to give Ye Xinglan a bear hug.

Upon seeing Xu Lizhi's actions, Ye Xinglan subconsciously took a few steps back.

Are you serious about that?

Xu Lizhi stopped abruptly. Although Ye Xinglan only took a few steps back, it dealt a significant blow to Xu Lizhi's heart.

When he was chubby before, Sister Xinglan never complained about him. Why has her attitude suddenly changed now?

"I guess I'm just too dirty right now. After all, Xinglan is a girl, so it's normal for her to be a little germaphobic." Xu Lizhi immediately made an excuse to defend Ye Xinglan.

Because he is really dirty now, unlike Ye Xinglan who was rescued by Nan Fusheng and brought back to Tianhai City.

During his escape, Xu Lizhi nearly ran into the people of the Temple of War several times. In order to hide himself, he had to slow down.

Upon arriving in Tianhai City, he encountered soldiers checking at the city gate, which was another checkpoint blocking his way.

The Federation's latest soul power detector is extremely advanced, capable of detecting subtle changes in soul power. Furthermore, the military has issued a strict order that all soul masters with a cultivation level exceeding the third ring must undergo thorough identity verification.

However, for him, who had undergone inhuman training on Devil's Island, getting through it wasn't too difficult, but it still took him a lot of time.

After some twists and turns, Xu Lizhi finally managed to enter the city, but this also delayed him for a whole day. In addition, he was worried about Ye Xinglan's safety, so after entering the city, he rushed to the governor's mansion without stopping.

Although Xu Lizhi doesn't look like a beggar now, he still exudes an extremely unpleasant odor, a mixture of his body oils and sweat. No wonder Ye Xinglan subconsciously stays away from him.

"Speaking of which, why does it feel like Sister Xinglan has changed a lot?" Xu Lizhi glanced at Ye Xinglan with his small eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

Sister Xinglan seems to have become even more beautiful. No, Sister Xinglan was always beautiful, but now she seems a little different than before; she seems to have become more feminine.

"Sister Xinglan, I'm going to take a shower first." Xu Lizhi scratched his head blankly, asked Nan Fusheng for directions to the bathroom, and immediately ran to wash up. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Sister Xinglan.

Ye Xinglan nodded, then silently pulled out a chair and sat down without saying a word. Xu Xiaoyan gave Nan Fusheng a wink, then began whispering to Ye Xinglan.

"Giving me a look won't help! If I open my mouth now, Ye Xinglan definitely won't give me a good look." Nan Fusheng muttered to himself, then silently buryed his head in the sand like an ostrich.

Fortunately, although Ye Xinglan didn't give Nan Fusheng a friendly look, she was very kind to Xu Xiaoyan.

The two women chattered away, but Xu Xiaoyan did most of the talking, while Ye Xinglan occasionally chimed in.

After Xu Lizhi finished taking a bath, Nan Fusheng began to call the servants to serve the dishes.

At the dinner table, Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously, "Xinglan, what are your plans for the future?"

Ye Xinglan didn't speak, but only glanced at Nan Fusheng.

Nan Fusheng coughed and said, "Xinglan and the others will be reporting to the East Sea Fleet next. My relationship with Commander Aquia is still quite good."

"I've already spoken to her beforehand. As long as you report to the East Sea Fleet, she'll take good care of you. At the very least, you'll start as a private first class, and if you perform well enough, it's not impossible for you to get the rank of second lieutenant or first lieutenant."

"Really!" Xu Lizhi couldn't help but exclaim excitedly. You see, due to some unexpected events, they had been delayed for more than a month, putting them far behind their companions at the start.

As one of the Shrek Seven Devils, he didn't want to be unable to help his companions when it came time to rebuild the academy in the future.

"Of course." Nan Fusheng chuckled. "I can't guarantee anything else, but you, Lizhi, will definitely be valued. A food-type Soul Emperor will be valued in the military far more than you can imagine, especially considering how young you are."

"Yes, I mentioned you to Commander Aquaria before, and she thinks highly of you. I've already discussed it with her in the communications. After you join the unit, you'll at least get the rank of lieutenant. As for whether you can get a higher rank, that will depend on your performance when you join the unit."

Upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, Xu Lizhi couldn't help but excitedly pat the table, looking at Nan Fusheng with gratitude, and sincerely said, "Fusheng, thank you."

Although Xu Lizhi was not very familiar with the military situation, he knew that the rank of a lieutenant was definitely not low. This was a rank that had completely moved beyond the privates and into the command class.

Nan Fusheng waved his hand and said modestly, "It's mainly because you have a strong foundation. I just played a role in connecting you with others."

Nan Fusheng wasn't lying about this. The land forces might not value food-type soul masters much, but the navy is a different story.

The supplies that a warship can carry are ultimately limited, even if it has a storage soul tool.

When ammunition runs out, supplies need to be replenished; when food runs out, supplies need to be replenished. But on the vast ocean, the only way for them to obtain supplies is to retreat back to land.

At this time, the importance of a food-type Soul Master becomes apparent.

A Soul Emperor-level Food-type Soul Master, in a true state of war, is capable of supporting all the food expenses of a battleship on his own. As long as there are enough Soul Masters on the battleship, the battleship can almost keep fighting at sea indefinitely.

At the same time, battleships can also be equipped with more soul-guided shells.

However, Xu Lizhi didn't think that way. In his opinion, without Nan Fusheng's presence, it would have taken him who knows how long to obtain the rank of lieutenant in the East Sea Fleet.
