The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"Let's go."

After entering the topographic map of the entire Deep Blue Harbor City into the data system, Ming Fuluo turned around and looked at the other cities in the distance, and said calmly: "It's time to meet the new Grand Duke of Deep Blue."

In order to collect data and information about the territorial cities, Ming Furo has traveled to all the territorial cities in Donggang. These data are used to help her customize special city defense systems and wartime shelters according to the conditions of each territorial city, and Deep Blue Port City happens to be the last one.

After completing these basic tasks, it is time to get in touch with your "teammates".

Ming Fuluo's figure turned into iron-gray particles, and the next second she appeared in an alley in a busy street, while Xin followed her like a shadow in a very creepy way, and was not shaken off at all.

"Miss Doll's soul is very special." Xin stared at Ming Fuluo's slender waist and back. "It's obviously just a dead object, not even a complete dead object. How can it carry such a complete soul like yours?"

Ming Furo is not Xitana. She neither regards Xin as a friend nor is she interested in communicating with her. Therefore, most of the time Xin is alone talking to herself. However, the Saint Lady seems to enjoy this and does not become quiet because of Ming Furo's indifference.

"Mr. Devil said that Miss Doll is an almighty genius. There is no one who can surpass you in the field of alchemy today. Alchemy... is really amazing. It can even reach the realm of God."

She looked at Ming Fuluo with curiosity in her eyes: "Ms. Doll, you are really special, even a little more special than Mr. Devil."

Hearing this, Ming Fuluo paused for a moment. She rarely spoke to Xin, but she turned her head and glanced at the Saint Lady: "I am more special than Anser...? In what way?"

Ah, I'm hooked. So easy.

Miss Doll is just like Miss Wolf. As long as Mr. Devil is brought out, no matter how she has behaved before, she will be helpless.

This little bit of pride in her heart made Xin's mouth curl up unconsciously, but she occasionally showed this kind of innocent smile in her daily life, so it was not easy for her to be suspected.

"It's sin." Xin answered softly, "Mr. Devil's sin is very special. The countless sins that entangle him are integrated together. It's something I've never seen before. It's like an abyss and a monster."

"Sins are not singular. One sin will always lead to another sin. However, as long as the sin that is the main cause can be eliminated, the other sins can also be solved."

Xin stretched out his hand towards Ming Furo while saying this. To be precise... he stretched out his hand towards the top of Ming Furo's head.

Her eyes were somewhat vacant, and she slightly raised her head to look at something unknown, murmuring in a dreamy voice, "But Miss Doll, you are just arrogant."

"There are no other sins that are tied to pride, only a huge pride that I have never seen before... It is really special."

"..."

Something like an abyss... What on earth did this saint see?

She can see Anser's "sin", although she doesn't know whether this "sin" is defined in a broad sense or a unique concept created by her own understanding, but in any case, she has the ability to... peek into Anser's soul and seem unaffected.

Xin thought she had hooked Ming Fuluo, but Ming Fuluo was already dismantling the power she held.

Even Anser's soul can be seen without paying a price. It's really dangerous. What exactly is Anser preparing this time?

In order to prevent this guy from secretly reading her mind again, Ming Furo forcibly interrupted her thoughts, walked forward expressionlessly, and finally arrived at the door of Grand Duke Shenlan's mansion.

She went over her original plan in her mind and completely discarded all thoughts about Anser. This operation, which seemed like a fantasy to Xitana, was no difficulty for Ming Furo. The scholar walked straight through the gate, replaying her plan in her mind while observing Xin's expression calmly.

She didn't show any strange expression at all, but just kept mumbling: "If we can redeem Miss Doll, it will free up another amazing assistant. That's great."

...It doesn't seem like he can read my mind the entire time. Are there really some restrictions and conditions?

Ming Furo was still uncertain when she said this in her heart. This was more of an attempt to confront Xin directly than an inference. The secret that a mind reader least wants others to know is that he or she can read minds. No matter how stupid Xin was, she should have a reaction when encountering such a situation, but she... still didn't.

"Miss Doll, Miss Doll, can I ask you why you are so arrogant?" She floated behind Ming Furo and asked curiously.

"…First, I'm not a puppet; second, I'm not arrogant."

Ming Fuluo responded coldly, and at the same time she felt a little relieved.

She has made such attempts many times during this period of time.

Without exception, Xin did not give any reaction. He was the easiest to guard against and could not hide it 100%. He did not show any abnormality in the first attempt.

Ming Fuluo is a scholar, and scholars always need to argue multiple times for their conclusions, which requires sufficient evidence. Although the evidence is insufficient now, time is limited, which is enough for her to make a judgment.

Xin's mind-reading ability does have certain limitations, and they are most likely quite severe limitations. Although we must be vigilant, there is no need to control our emotions at all times. After all, it is too difficult to do so.

"Miss Doll actually thinks she's not arrogant?" Xin was a little surprised. "Why?"

"I also wanted to ask why you concluded that I was arrogant."

"Because I saw it."

"..."

The scholar lady did not want to communicate with the charlatan, as she felt that it was somewhat of an insult to her knowledge and personality.

She wasted no time and quickly found the being with the longest and most powerful aura lingering in the manor, then she turned into particles and teleported over.

At this moment, Ming Fuluo was thinking:

It would be nice if Anser was here. This kind of troublesome guy is born to be played with by him. Even if he is not here, it would be good to say more. Xier might mess up the plan if she knows it. Do you think I will mess it up?

Am I really going to screw up?

With such complicated emotions, Ming Fuluo reshaped her figure again, but the moment her vision refocused, she was stunned.

"Oh, you're here quickly, Luo. I thought you would take a little longer."

The current Grand Duke of Deep Blue, Lian De Deep Blue, was sitting in the restaurant eating. She was also looking at Ming Fuluo with a shocked and even dull look. To some extent, the dullness of the two people meant the same thing -

"Anser..."

The scholar looked at the handsome young man who was shaking the wine glass gently, and said in a tone of disbelief mixed with a bit of surprise:

"How will you be here?"

Until now, Ming Furo still couldn't figure out what Anser was going to do. She had many questions she wanted to ask Anser, but Anser no longer gave her answers.

Even so, every time she saw Ansher, she would immediately feel at ease, and any anger had nothing to do with her.

...Am I really too dependent on Anser?

The arrogant scholar couldn't help but think so.

Chapter 35: Not Really Brainless, Part 1

Anser would of course only be where he was supposed to be.

The Northern Alliance, the Revolutionary Army, the Church, Ivora, Mingflora, Xitana, and Xin who is on the wrong path... Everything that will happen next is not an arrangement he made entirely based on his foresight of the future. Although the key points have been grasped, this is still the biggest chess game in his life.

Capture Xin, strangle the last two remaining grand dukes, and use this opportunity to bring the revolutionary army under his command, and by the way, control the Holy Church... If he wins this round, then from now on, fate will no longer have any possibility to go against him.

Precisely because of the importance of this game, and because he can no longer grasp the overall situation without doing everything himself as he did in the past, he needs to personally control the current link whenever necessary.

"The Church of the Holy Alliance will send a large number of priests to the empire in the coming period to establish churches."

Anser gave Ming Fuluo a detailed explanation: "This matter is quite important, and requires me to communicate with Ms. Lian De in person."

Although Ming Fuluo was in a complicated mood, she was still able to remain calm on the surface without any pressure: "But Anser, you used this... illusion to meet with Ms. Lian De instead of using the communication magic crystal. It wasn't just a whim, was it?"

Phantom...is it hinting something to me?

The "someone" that Anser was referring to could not be anyone other than Xin. If he wanted to contact her, he could just use the communication magic crystal. If it was really important, Anser would most likely choose to come in person, but in this weird phantom form...

Ming Furo glanced at Xin calmly, and thus just ignored the unnatural look on Lian De's face for a moment when he heard the word "phantom".

"Why else?" Anser held his chin and said with a smile, "I came to accompany you by the way."

"..."

Now, the strangeness on Lian De's face was a little difficult to conceal. Ming Fuluo also turned her head away awkwardly after a brief daze, and a beautiful blush appeared on her fair and delicate cheeks.

"Oh... you are worthy of being Mr. Devil." Xin, who was sitting nearby, exclaimed, "Ms. Spider's jealousy suddenly swelled up."

……envy?

Ming Furo, who had just recovered from Ansel's words, was shocked again by Xin. She subconsciously looked at Lian De Shenlan who was sitting elegantly. The new Grand Duke who had defeated all her competitors was already over thirty years old. Most high-level female transcendents would keep their appearance constant at a youthful and beautiful age, but Lian De did not do so. This made her look more like a superior, and at the same time more like, um... a mature woman should have, mature fullness and heaviness.

Although Anser's current appearance was between a teenager and a young adult, there was still a clear age difference between him and Lian De. The subtle difference in appearance and body shape, as well as the "jealousy" mentioned by Xin, made Ming Fuluo's eyes narrow slightly.

Ming Furo's view on love is not very normal, and the relationship between her and Ansel has never been maintained by pure love. But she can tolerate Xitana because Miss Wolf, who is lively and active every day, always brings fun, is regarded as a pet in her eyes.

Because after Ansel had her and Sitana, he basically never communicated with other women at a distance - even if there was one, she probably wouldn't know about it. With this mentality, Ming Fuluo never took it to heart most of the time, but she never thought that she would actually meet such an unknown woman in person.

In fact, she really hated women of questionable character getting close to Anser, and in her eyes, nobles were synonymous with questionable character.

Looking at it this way... does the clothes this woman is wearing have any other meaning?

Ms. Lian De's clothes did not reveal much skin, but they fit her body very well. The abdomen and chest were made of hollow semi-transparent black silk fabric, which showed the soft belly unique to mature women.

...despicable.

Although Miss Ming Fuluo's comments were very sharp, she had no right to say that about others as she had made enough erotic clothing at Ansel's request to fill two closets.

Of course, if it were Xitana, she would have started to declare sovereignty in various ways by now, but for Ming Furo, there are more important things to do.

"So, are you done talking?"

She pulled up a chair and sat down without being invited. Although her feet were not touching the ground, her serious expression made her look very majestic as a scholar. “I also want to talk to the new Grand Duke of Deep Blue about something.”

Anser smiled, leaned back in his chair and made a gesture of invitation.

As the host, Lian De Shen Lan was the one with the least aura. She could only turn her head to look at Ming Fu Luo and smiled gracefully: "Ms. Zeg, do you want to discuss war matters with me?"

“It’s not a discussion or a negotiation.”

Ming Fuluo condensed a ring out of thin air with an expressionless face and threw it into Lian De's hand.

"I have already determined the direction of all arrangements and plans. They are clearly written here. There is also some information I need to improve the subsequent planning and determine the specific details. This information must be handed over to me within three days."

"You are the only Grand Duke in Donggang who has resolved the internal strife and successfully reunited the family's power. The other two families are still fighting among themselves. In order to win your support, they will not reject your orders, so you have the ability to temporarily unify Donggang."

"Therefore, as long as you do everything according to what I say." Ming Fuluo tapped the table lightly, "then the problem of war will naturally be solved."

Ming Fuluo's temper actually didn't get much better because of her transformation. She was still cold and even mean to most people.

The condescending statement, the extremely tough command, and the overconfident ending were all done in one go. It can be said that all the unpleasant points were touched upon, and he didn't care at all.

Lian De silently took out the plan outline that Ming Fuluo had engraved in the magic crystal from her ring. She didn't seem to have any intention of objecting and was just reading it quietly. After all, no matter what, she had no qualifications or capital to object.

This war is destined to be supported by Ming Furo and Xitana.

And Lian De had to admit that if Ming Furo's plan really went according to plan, if Ming Furo could really provide so many alchemical equipment as she said... then the fourth-level troops of the Revolutionary Army would really have no chance of attacking.

——But she couldn't accept it.

Lian De was able to fund the revolutionary army before she inherited the power of the Deep Blue Family. After defeating her brothers and sisters and officially taking over the Deep Blue Family, she realized that relying on this unique geographical location... Donggang's wealth has reached an extremely exaggerated number after nearly a thousand years of accumulation.

If the revolutionary army wants to gain momentum, resources are essential.

The fight for the North was to build a base and to occupy this land which was not suitable for survival but rich in mineral resources. According to their original plan, after taking over the North, they would immediately turn their swords towards Donggang.

When the North is connected with Donggang, it will not only become an inexhaustible source of funds for the revolutionary army, but the only route to the other side of the continent will also provide them with the possibility of making a comeback.

No matter what, the revolutionary army must take Donggang.

But if Ming Fuluo's arrangement is really implemented completely...

Just as Lian De's mood was becoming increasingly heavy, an uncontrollable moan directly froze her thoughts.

"..."

She subconsciously raised her head and found that Ming Fuluo was supporting her forehead with one hand and placing the other hand under the table, doing something unknown. Her petite body was trembling slightly.

And Anser drank leisurely, still looking like a bystander.

"Miss Zeg..." Lian De asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't... um! Nothing."

Ming Fuluo exhaled, and after glaring at Anser fiercely, she raised her chin slightly, and her pale red face regained its cold dignity: "Do you know what to do next?"

"If you mean this outline..."

Lian De stared at the light blush on Ming Fuluo's cheeks that had not yet faded, and slowly said: "There are some things that I don't quite agree with."

"…I've already told you that I'm not here to ask you questions, or to discuss matters with you, Deep Blue, Grand Duke."

Ming Fuluo had no expression on her face, but the blush that had just faded away reappeared immediately, and her breathing became a little unstable: "Whether you agree or not, I... huh... I don't need it."

"That's not what I meant, Ms. Zeger." Lian De shook his head gently. "It's not that I don't want to carry out your requests and orders, but you have to know... your current planning direction is actually... not very feasible."

"Even if I am willing to follow your instructions unconditionally, something will go wrong."

She looked at Ming Fuluo fearlessly: "Even so, are you still going to do it anyway?"

Ming Fuluo pushed away the chair and stood up. The coldness in her purple eyes froze the atmosphere in the room.

"Are you... threatening me?"

"No, of course not, I'm just stating the facts, Ms. Zeger."

In front of Anser, Lian De actually had the guts to speak to Ming Fuluo like this: "I don't have any personal emotions mixed in. I really just think that you are... insisting on having your own way."
