Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

In the empty study, Qian Renxue stood there for a long time.

Although Nan Feng's deep-seated suspicion and indifference made her feel incredibly angry and wronged, once she calmed down, her indomitable pride was completely ignited.

At least the teacher agreed to help!

"With the teacher's help, that woman was able to completely transform the Spirit Hall and turn the entire continent upside down..."

Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly, a burning ambition igniting in her cold eyes. "Then why can't I, with my teacher's help, completely control and transform this Heaven Dou Empire with the power of a king?!"

"I, Qian Renxue, am absolutely no less than that woman!"

……

The following day at noon, in the Royal Garden.

Nan Feng, who was lying comfortably in a soft rattan chair, taking a nap in the sun, was respectfully woken up by several trembling palace maids and then led to the imperial study.

Nan Feng yawned and pushed open the door to enter.

Today, in the Imperial Study, besides the smiling Emperor Xueye, there were two unfamiliar figures.

A refined and gentle middle-aged man dressed in a moon-white robe.

And a white-haired old man standing quietly beside him, like a drawn sword.

It was Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Chen Xin, one of the pillars of the sect and a Sword Douluo.

Almost the instant Nan Feng stepped across the threshold, out of the instinct of a top expert, Chen Xin's extremely vast and sharp invisible spiritual power, like an impenetrable sword net, silently enveloped Nan Feng, attempting to probe the true background of this so-called "Demon God Douluo".

However, Nan Feng merely lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently.

"boom--!"

A terrifying aura, as vast as an abyss and carrying destructive pressure, instantly erupted from the petite body of the six-year-old girl!

Before Chen Xin could even react, his proud sword intent and spiritual power crumbled in the face of this absolute pressure of level ninety-eight, and were forcibly suppressed back into his body!

Chen Xin's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.

This oppressive feeling, so solid it's suffocating... is definitely the genuine level 98 peak Douluo!

Nan Feng walked to the guest seat and sat down, looking at Chen Xin with a half-smile: "This gentleman, could he be the famous swordsman Chen Xin?"

Chen Xin's expression changed slightly. He immediately put away all his probing and arrogance, and solemnly cupped his hands in a junior's salute: "I dare not. Junior Chen Xin greets Senior Demon God."

Although the person in front of her looked exactly like a delicate and beautiful six-year-old girl, this was not entirely incomprehensible in the world of Soul Masters.

Chen Xin had seen the Spirit Hall's Light Feather Douluo, who looked like a young man, in his early years, so he naturally knew that it was not a fantasy for a Soul Master to revert to youth after breaking through to the Title Douluo level or even reaching an extremely high realm.

Especially female titled Douluo, they would spend their entire lives maintaining their youthful and perfect appearance.

Although the person in front of me has a strange habit of keeping himself in the "six-year-old" stage, the terrifying level ninety-eight cultivation he just displayed was absolutely genuine!

Nan Feng ignored Chen Xin's shock and turned to look at the refined middle-aged man beside him who also looked shocked: "Then you must be Sect Master Ning, who is known as the strongest support-type Soul Master on the continent?"

Ning Fengzhi quickly bowed slightly and smiled impeccably, "That's all the flattery and compliments from my fellow martial arts friends. Senior's cultivation is extraordinary; how could I dare to show off in front of you?"

"okay."

Nan Feng waved her hand impatiently, interrupting Ning Fengzhi's pleasantries: "I'm not interested in these boring formalities. Tell me, how are things going with the Purple Pearl Island matter?"

Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Emperor Xue Ye, who was sitting in the main seat. Seeing Xue Ye nod slightly, he said, "Since you are so straightforward, then I will speak frankly as well. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is naturally willing to participate fully in the development of Purple Pearl Island."

“However…” Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, his brows furrowing slightly, “We currently do not know the specific environment and hydrological details of Purple Pearl Island. Building a port, constructing defenses, and opening a cross-sea shipping route are all massive projects of great importance, and the funds and materials required cannot be completed overnight.”

"not to mention……"

Ning Fengzhi, as the top businessman on the entire continent, raised the most realistic obstacle: "Since ancient times, maritime shipping has been extremely dangerous, and now the land-based commercial routes within the continent are very mature and well-established. When doing business, what everyone values ​​is 'peace of mind'."

"Merchants have long been accustomed to the land-based business model. Nowadays, even though the cost of sea transport is much lower than that of land transport and the profit margin is huge, it will be extremely difficult to persuade those large chambers of commerce to change their habits in a short period of time, to make them believe in Poseidon Island and be willing to invest heavily in sea transport."

Listening to Ning Fengzhi's long-winded "statement of difficulties," Nan Feng rolled his eyes.

"Sect Leader Ning, as I just said, I hate boring formalities and nonsense."

"How could the esteemed leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the head of the world's number one business guild not know how to solve these initial business operation and market development problems? Your complaints and complaints to me are a waste of all our time."

"Just say it straight, stop beating around the bush, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing that this Demon God Douluo was completely unmoved by the usual business negotiation tactics, Ning Fengzhi stopped wasting words, his expression became extremely solemn, and he directly revealed his true intentions.

"Since you are so straightforward, then I will speak frankly as well."

“This junior does indeed have a way to get mainland chambers of commerce involved in shipping. As long as the infrastructure on Purple Pearl Island is built, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family will jointly lead the way, bringing in a huge amount of capital and the first batch of goods.”

"With the backing of the government and the three major powers, those profit-driven chambers of commerce below will naturally follow suit. As long as they see tangible benefits, maritime transport will be fully developed in just a few years, and may even replace a large part of land transport!"

"but……"

Ning Fengzhi's tone became extremely serious: "The dangers of the sea are simply too high! Can Purple Pearl Island, or rather, Poseidon Island behind you, really guarantee the absolute safety of the entire sea route?"

"Senior, safety is always the top priority for businessmen!"

“Those small-time speculators who are willing to risk their lives for huge profits will definitely flock to maritime shipping.”

"However, for the large chambers of commerce that can truly support the prosperity of the special economic zone, they care more about security! What they want is a steady stream of income and stable capital appreciation, not a gamble that could make them rich or poor in a single stroke!"

"The profits from maritime trade are indeed astonishing, but if an accident occurs on the vast ocean, such as an attack by sea spirit beasts or a pirate raid, the merchant guild could suffer a complete loss!"

"Although land transportation involves many checkpoints and high costs, as long as the protection fees and customs duties are paid in full according to the rules, there is almost no extreme situation where one loses everything."

Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly, awaiting Nan Feng's reply: "So, senior, what exactly can Seagod Island... or rather Purple Pearl Island offer us merchants to reassure us?"

Chapter 155 If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold? Absolutely not!

……

Nan Feng's expression remained unchanged as he listened to Ning Fengzhi's long and seemingly reasonable but actually increasingly aggressive argument.

He didn't follow Ning Fengzhi's line of thought to offer any so-called "guarantee." Instead, he leaned forward slightly, his heterochromatic eyes gleaming with a hint of mockery, and asked in return:

"Sect Leader Ning, are you trying to test my brain by talking so much nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the imperial study instantly froze.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly, and his gentle smile froze on his face. He quickly bowed slightly and said, "Senior is too kind. This junior... this junior would never dare to have such a disrespectful thought."

"Don't you dare?"

Nan Feng chuckled and slammed her small hand on the table without any politeness, making a dull thud.

"I think you're quite daring!"

"What do you mean by 'reassurance'? If I remember correctly, I already explained the part about maritime shipping safety to Old Man Xueye clearly and thoroughly yesterday!"

Nan Feng ruthlessly exposed Ning Fengzhi's pretense of bargaining:

"The navy reorganized from the more than 500 high-level sea spirit masters on Purple Pearl Island will be responsible for maintaining the safety of maritime shipping throughout the entire process. Their main task is to use their familiarity with the sea to strike and wipe out all stragglers and scattered pirates along the way with the most ruthless methods! Isn't that what you call security assurance?"

"As for the sea spirit beast attack you mentioned..."

Nan Feng leaned back in his chair. "That's because you landlubbers from the inland simply don't understand the rules of the sea!"

"The ocean may seem dangerous and turbulent on the surface, but in reality, the order of survival in the deep sea is far more stable than that on your land, which is full of deceit and treachery!"

"As long as merchant ships strictly adhere to the safe routes designated by the Purple Pearl Navy and do not deviate from the forbidden territories of those sea spirit beasts, the vast majority of high-level sea spirit beasts will not rashly attack human ships. Because human flesh and blood are simply not on their daily diet!"

"If a sea spirit beast launches a preemptive attack on a large merchant fleet, it is highly likely that it was those greedy sailors from your human merchant guild who initiated the provocation in order to obtain the pelts and bones of high-level spirit beasts!"

"There is only a very small chance that you were just extremely unlucky and happened to run into one of those naturally violent and bloodthirsty, or extremely dangerous sea spirit beasts that is currently going berserk."

"As for this last remaining risk, the navy of Purple Pearl Island will naturally dispatch elite naval commanders regularly to patrol the outer seas, identifying and eliminating these extreme safety hazards along the shipping routes in advance. This is the sincerity and guarantee that Poseidon Island offers you!"

At this point, Nan Feng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stared intently at Ning Fengzhi:

"So, on top of these three layers of basic protection, Sect Master Ning, what other so-called 'reassurance' do you want?"

"Could it be..."

Nan Feng's voice carried an undisguised sarcasm and chill: "Sect Leader Ning, do you mean that as long as your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire's merchant ships set sail, my Seagod Island has to act like a nanny, guaranteeing the absolute safety of all your people and goods?"

"If you encounter a storm at sea, or if you recklessly provoke a sea spirit beast and capsize, and suffer any problems or lose even a single copper coin, my Seagod Island will be fully responsible and compensate you for your losses!"

Upon hearing this extremely hurtful accusation, Ning Fengzhi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Senior, please calm down! This junior had no such intention!" Ning Fengzhi quickly bowed deeply, and even the Sword Douluo Chen Xin beside him subconsciously gripped his sword hilt, fearing that this eccentric Demon God Douluo might suddenly lash out.

"What I meant was..."

"Alright, stop explaining." Nan Feng rudely interrupted Ning Fengzhi's explanation.

He sat back down in his chair, looking down at the three powerful figures who held sway over the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"What kind of reassurance does Ning Zong want? Does he want absolute safety? Does he want a guaranteed profit that goes straight into his pocket?"

"If you can't even take this much risk in business, how did Sect Master Ning manage to make the Seven Treasures Merchant Guild the number one in the world?"

"Furthermore, gentlemen... haven't you misunderstood something extremely important?"

Nan Feng slowly stood up. Although he was not even as tall as Ning Fengzhi's waist, his aura of dominance made the three important figures present not even dare to breathe.

"Regarding the development of Purple Pearl Island and the establishment of trade routes... for me, for the High Priest, and for the entire Seagod Island, it is not a necessary strategy at all!"

"To tell you the harshest truth."

Nan Feng's heterochromatic eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain: "Even if the Spirit Hall really becomes the king of the continent and slaughters your two great empires and all your sects... what substantial impact will it have on our Seagod Island?"

"That old man's tearful 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' nonsense... it's a complete joke! It doesn't exist at all!"

Nan Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone disdainful:

"Even if the Spirit Hall really mobilizes the entire continent's resources, even if they have a million-strong army and tens of thousands of high-level spirit masters, they don't have the guts or the qualifications to set foot on my Seagod Island!"

"Do you really think that the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Seagod Island, along with High Priest Poseidon, are merely relying on their own cultivation levels to desperately maintain the island's defenses? We are nothing more than a group of believers enjoying the absolute protection of Lord Seagod on the island."

"So what if the Spirit Hall is strong? Even if their so-called level 99 peerless Douluo, Qian Daoliu, who is hiding in the Douluo Hall, came in person! In front of the Sea God who truly controls the four seas, how different is he from an ant on the ground?!"

"Not to mention, if a fight really breaks out, with the power of Seagod Island itself, there's no need to alarm Lord Seagod at all!"

Nan Feng glanced at Chen Xin with a mocking look: "Back then, when the Spirit Hall invaded Seagod Island, they lost two Title Douluos and thousands of elites. Don't think that just because a small number of those trash from the Spirit Hall managed to escape back to the mainland and save their lives, they really had the ability to fight Seagod Island on this ocean."

"If the High Priest truly intended to kill back then, even if the Spirit Hall mobilized its entire force, it would only add a few cheap fish bones to the vast ocean!"

"So, stop with your haggling, businessman attitude."

Nan Feng stood up, his small body radiating an aura of authority and arrogance that was impossible to look directly at.
