Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 418 The Far North, Titan Snow Demon King
The voice continued, with a fanatical tone:

"As long as we successfully capture the Northernmost City, we can establish a forward fortress and springboard for our Green Skull organization to advance into the Douluo Continent. From there, we can use it as a base to continue our infiltration into the interior. This is a strategy personally devised by the Goddess of Beauty!"

Mentioning "Lady Beauty" caused the breathing of both people on the other end of the communicator to become noticeably heavier, as if the name possessed some kind of magic.

The two men in the room instantly gleamed with unparalleled greed and fervent light, their faces filled with extreme desire.

The voice seemed to sense their emotions and continued in a seductive tone:

"Following the divine decree of the Goddess of Beauty, we are all warriors fighting for the goddess. If we achieve merit in this operation, the Goddess of Beauty may personally summon the heroes... and you will be qualified to witness the true face of the Goddess of Beauty!"

"Lord Meishen!"

Upon merely hearing this possibility, the two men in the room trembled with excitement, their faces flushed, as if they could already see the legendary figure with unparalleled beauty, like a goddess descending to earth.

For these fanatical believers who have been thoroughly brainwashed, they would be willing to exchange a hundred years of their lifespan for the chance to meet the goddess of beauty.

"The foolish Federation has ruled the continent for too long. They have seized the land and resources left by our ancestors ten thousand years ago and oppressed our people!"

The tall, thin man growled excitedly, as if reciting dogma.

The other man, his fists clenched and his eyes burning with a crazed rage, interjected:
"Now, under the guidance of the great goddess of beauty, we will finally overthrow the tyranny of the Federation and build a new world that belongs to us!"

"For the goddess of beauty!" they whispered in unison, as if in the most devout prayer.

The voice on the other end of the communicator gave a satisfied "hmm" and gave the order:
"Your tasks remain unchanged: continue to closely monitor Leng Yaozhu's every move and report back as needed. Everything else proceeds as planned."

"Understood!" the two replied respectfully, and then ended the communication.

The room fell silent again, with only the heavy breathing of the two people and the unquenchable flames of their passion burning in their eyes.

……

On the other side, inside apartment 404.

Lu Jun and Leng Yaozhu had just finished a dinner with a distinctly Arctic flair and were about to discuss their next plans when the doorbell rang softly again.

Leng Yaozhu's eyes narrowed slightly. She instantly scanned the doorway with her spiritual power, and after confirming the identity of the visitor, the wariness on her face turned into a hint of surprise. She walked over and opened the door.

A very tall man was standing outside the door.

He is nearly two meters tall, and what is most peculiar is his pair of arms, which are exceptionally long, almost reaching his knees, and exude an explosive sense of power.

He had a rugged face, but his eyes were calm and steady, and he exuded a bold and profound aura.

Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu open the door, he immediately leaned forward slightly and performed a solemn bow, his voice loud yet respectful:

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Phoenix, I apologize for disturbing you. I am Titan Snow Demon King, one of the guardians of the far north. You may address me as Atai."

"Atai, come in." Leng Yaozhu stepped aside to let him into the room, and after closing the door, she said, "I suppose... you've already received the notification from the Federation?"

“Not bad.” Titan Snow Demon King Atai, who had transformed into human form, nodded with a serious expression. “I have also received coordination orders from the Federation.”

"The investigation into the unusual gathering of people from the Eastern Continent will be jointly led by me, you, and General Dong Zi'an, who will be arriving soon.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's face showed a hint of difficulty: "But my main purpose for this trip is for the cultivation of my disciple, Lu Jun..."

Artest clearly already knew the situation and said very reasonably:
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. The specific tasks of investigation, tracking, and combat can be handled by General Dong Zi'an and me." "You only need to use your status and influence to assist from the sidelines, providing support in terms of high-level combat power and intelligence assessment. After all, you are on vacation, which we understand."

"Yes, that's good then." Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, accepting the arrangement. She then turned to look behind her, "Lu Jun, come and meet Senior Atai."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun walked over from the living room. He curiously sized up this legendary overlord of the far north, sensing the vast and imposing aura emanating from the other man, as if it were an iceberg. Not daring to be negligent, he respectfully bowed and said:
"Your Majesty Artest, greetings."

Atai's gaze fell on Lu Jun, a hint of surprise and admiration flashing in his wild eyes. He chuckled and said:
"As expected of someone who can become His Majesty Tianfeng's personal disciple, he is indeed a genius. At such a young age, his foundation is so solid, and his spiritual power is unfathomable."

"This child's talent is bound to be earth-shattering in the future."

His words were a sincere compliment; Lu Jun gave him a very special feeling.

Leng Yaozhu smiled proudly and said modestly:

"Not at all, Atai, you flatter me. It's just that my disciple is very capable, and I couldn't help much."

After some necessary pleasantries and introductions, Leng Yaozhu and Atai began to discuss the serious matter of investigating the people from the Eastern Continent in hushed tones.

They exchanged information they knew, analyzed possible objectives, and discussed key areas for monitoring and investigation.

Lu Jun listened quietly from the side. Although he found these political and power struggles somewhat boring, he did not let his guard down.

His mental energy maintained constant awareness of his surroundings, especially of the two dangerous Title Douluos across the street.

He was also thinking to himself:

What exactly are these people from the Eastern Continent trying to do by infiltrating the far northern city?
Will this sudden incident affect his and Hyotei's plans?
The suite, warm and cozy, appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were already swirling beneath.

……

Leng Yaozhu's discussion with Titan Snow Demon King Atai lasted for a long time, until the midnight bells rang in the far north city, temporarily bringing it to a close.

Leng Yaozhu rubbed her tired temples, got up and went to Lu Jun's room. She gently knocked on the door, her voice soft:

"Lu Jun, are you cultivating?"

The door was quickly opened, and Lu Jun stood in the doorway, looking energetic, and smiled:

"No, teacher. I'm not practicing. I'm just figuring out and refining the application of some combat techniques on my own."

Seeing her disciple so diligent and self-disciplined, Leng Yaozhu's eyes shone with satisfaction and pride.

Having such a talented and hardworking disciple makes her, as the teacher, so worry-free.

She stepped forward, naturally tiptoed, and reached out to carefully straighten Lu Jun's collar, which was not actually messy. Her movements were as gentle as a wife tidying up her husband's appearance before he went to war.

She was very close, her breath sweet and fragrant, gently caressing Lu Jun's face with her unique scent.

Lu Jun's cheeks flushed slightly without her noticing, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head away shyly, not daring to look directly at the teacher's stunningly beautiful face so close to hers.

Leng Yaozhu seemed oblivious to her disciple's embarrassment and softly instructed:
"Later, Teacher and Atai will go outside the city to welcome Commander Dong Zian and discuss the specific details of the investigation. You stay in your room and don't wander off, okay?"
