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

"All sorts of fallacies and distortions of facts make me feel nauseous, and I've even had the thought of destroying it all more than once."

Hearing Nan Feng's extreme remarks, which were filled with destructive intent, the Sea Maiden Douluo stopped eating grapes abruptly. Her blue eyes widened slightly as she looked at the little monster in front of her with some trepidation.

She had initially thought the title "Demon God" was completely mismatched with this adorable little girl, but now it seemed...

Worthy of the name!

Chapter 166 I'm happy to do it, isn't that enough?

……

"You don't need to look at me like that."

Nan Feng turned his head, meeting the surprised and uncertain gaze of the Sea Maiden Douluo, his tone becoming surprisingly calm and frank:

"I don't hate purely evil people, and I sincerely respect those who are truly compassionate and selfless good people."

"But... those guys who are clearly full of shady desires, doing nothing but thievery, yet always spouting 'the common people,' 'righteousness,' and even hypnotizing themselves every day, feeling good about themselves..."

"It really made me feel an extremely strong physical discomfort! That kind of nausea is the kind where you feel humiliated and tormented just to breathe the same air as them and exist in the same world!"

At this point, Nan Feng let out a sneer without any hesitation, his tone filled with extreme sarcasm and contempt:

"Just like the Spirit Hall, that self-proclaimed 'Angel Family' that represents light and absolute holiness!"

"Deep down, they are full of despicable schemes to eliminate dissidents and seize wealth by trickery. They are capable of doing any dirty thing to maintain their rule, yet they insist on erecting a radiant and inviolable facade for themselves!"

Nan Feng leaned back into the recliner, rubbing his temples in frustration.

"This is absolutely disgusting!"

Listening to Nan Feng's malice and even deep-seated hatred towards the Spirit Hall's Angel Clan, the Sea Maiden Douluo felt no aversion. Instead, out of a strange instinct, she immediately felt much closer to Nan Feng.

After all, for the people of Seagod Island, the three words "Spirit Hall" also represent an indelible blood feud!

Back then, in order to demonstrate the unparalleled martial prowess of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji rashly dispatched a large army to invade Seagod Island, unleashing a bloodbath upon the island. Although the Spirit Hall later suffered heavy losses and returned defeated, the pain inflicted by that undeserved disaster is still etched in the memories of everyone on Seagod Island.

In the eyes of the Sea Maiden Douluo, since everyone dislikes the Spirit Hall and despises that hypocritical Angel Family, then "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"!

Thinking of this, the Sea Maiden Douluo's previously tense body completely relaxed. She stretched comfortably, her beautiful blue fishtail swaying gently on the edge of the lounge chair, bringing with it a wisp of cool moisture.

"Since you despise the Spirit Hall's hypocrisy so much, why did you go to such lengths to build these infrastructure projects and special zones on Purple Pearl Island..."

The Sea Maiden Douluo turned her head, her large, watery blue eyes filled with curiosity, "Besides the grand reasons you just mentioned, what is it for you personally?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng paused slightly.

"For what? Aside from achieving some personal goals that can't be said... it's probably for a sense of accomplishment."

"Looking at this once dilapidated, stinking, and impoverished island where people couldn't even get enough to eat, under my rules and calculations, it only took a year to transform it into a prosperous, orderly port city that could even influence the economic lifeline of two great empires..."

"This sense of accomplishment, as if I were creating a world and changing the fate of countless people, is actually one of the few things in my long and boring life that can truly make me feel happy."

Upon hearing this answer, the Sea Maiden Douluo not only did not think that Nan Feng was putting on airs, but nodded in deep agreement, indicating that she understood very well.

After all, in her mind, for a peerless expert who had already reached the pinnacle of the Soul Master world and possessed a terrifying cultivation level of ninety-eight, worldly money, power, and even fame had lost their appeal.

The only reason such a prominent figure would be willing to lower himself and spend so much time and energy doing something personally is purely out of "personal interest" and "psychological satisfaction".

"I understand, I understand!"

The Sea Maiden Douluo clapped her hands excitedly, like a little girl who had found a kindred spirit. "Just like me before I became a Guardian Pillar, my greatest hobby was to sneak off to the outer sea to rescue those unlucky souls who were shipwrecked and about to drown! Every time I saw them cry tears of joy and be reborn after being rescued, I would feel a special sense of happiness and satisfaction!"

“That makes sense.” Nan Feng nodded with a smile.

"but……"

The Sea Maiden Douluo changed the subject, her brows furrowing slightly, and returned to the core question that Poseidon cared about most: "Since you're doing something good, and it's for your own sense of accomplishment, then... why are you using the name of our Seagod Island?"

"It's simple, because it's convenient."

Nan Feng shrugged. "Think about it. If I were to undertake such a massive project on Purple Pearl Island, I'd want to attract the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—people who won't act until they see a clear benefit—and get them to willingly pour tens of millions of gold soul coins and a massive amount of resources into it, even without any understanding of the ocean..."

"Without a security guarantee that is substantial enough to inspire their awe, do you think those two cunning old foxes would actually part with their money?"

"Although I am strong, my level 98 cultivation level is indeed enough to make me invincible on the continent. But in the end, in their eyes, I am just a lone wolf. No matter how strong a rogue cultivator is, he cannot provide the long-term, stable, and massive credibility required for a cross-sea trade route."

"But what if they believe that I have that mysterious, powerful behemoth behind me, the one that could have defeated even the Spirit Hall—Seagod Island! And that I'm here to cooperate with them on the orders of the High Priest..."

"Then my influence at the negotiating table and the weight of my words will be completely different! They will not only obediently hand over the money, but will even voluntarily give up a lot of benefits in order to please Poseidon Island!"

After listening to Nan Feng's meticulously crafted explanation of the "borrowing power from a powerful enemy" business logic, the Sea Maiden Douluo's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

She sized up the delicate, adorable little girl before her, who was actually quite cunning. Her lips twitched slightly, and after holding back for a long time, she finally couldn't help but retort:

"Senior...you wouldn't be doing this just to enjoy the perverse pleasure of using someone else's name to intimidate others, manipulate two top powers, and achieve 'great gains with little effort,' would you?"

Nan Feng's thoughts were exposed, but instead of feeling embarrassed, he confidently retorted:

"What? Is that not allowed?"

Faced with Nan Feng's self-righteous and even somewhat shameless "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude, the Sea Maiden Douluo was first slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but burst into a coquettish laugh without any regard for her image.

That smile, carrying the unique innocence and brightness of the mermaid race, completely shattered the last vestige of barrier between the two.

Through this conversation, the Sea Maiden Douluo now has a general understanding of the temperament and attitude of this "Demon God Douluo".

The grand scheme that Purple Pearl Island was so earth-shattering and could change the landscape of the continent was, in essence, not some unfathomable conspiracy.

Simply put, it was this big shot's "sudden inspiration" when he was extremely bored, plus a little bit of "personal interest" to pass the long years!

The Sea Maiden Douluo was not angry at being "freeloaded" off the reputation of Seagod Island; on the contrary, her affection for Nan Feng skyrocketed.

In fact, if Nan Feng had started speaking with platitudes like "for the sake of all living beings," "for the sake of righteousness and morality," and "to free the people of the sea from suffering," she would have immediately lost all interest in the conversation and even felt a strong sense of wariness and aversion.

Nan Feng's extremely genuine, unpretentious, and even somewhat childlike "willfulness" and "rascality" attitude made the Sea Maiden Douluo feel incredibly close to him and find him to her liking.

In her logic, when a person is not bound by rules, has no identity or responsibility, is not morally coerced, and even does something that seems completely "inexplicable," the choice he makes by following his heart best reveals the true nature of his soul!

Why help people? Why save people? Do we have to come up with a bunch of lofty excuses?

I'm willing, isn't that enough?!

The Sea Maiden Douluo stretched comfortably on the recliner, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Nan Feng.

There are many intelligent people in this world, and humans are often accustomed to "deliberating deeply" before making decisions.

However, in the eyes of the Sea Maiden Douluo, the so-called "deliberation" is essentially a cold and ruthless weighing of pros and cons!

A person who is willing to do good deeds only after careful consideration and confirmation that they are beneficial to themselves will inevitably, on some day in the future, do something utterly immoral without hesitation, because after careful consideration and confirmation that the benefits of doing evil are large enough!

The underlying logic behind such people's actions is not because they "want" to do it, but because they are driven by absolute "interests".

As a mermaid with the extremely rare talent of "mind reading", the Sea Maiden Douluo has seen too many human soul masters of all kinds.

What she hates and despises most are those hypocrites who have eight hundred schemes in their heads, who habitually manipulate the abacus beads in their minds no matter who they are facing, and whose minds are full of calculations and weighing.

Although Nan Feng in front of us is domineering and even schemes against behemoths like the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, making them his laborers, his motivation for doing this is spontaneous and pure.

Chapter 167 I'm Already Dead

……

After learning about the inside story of Purple Pearl Island and mentally labeling Nan Feng as "free-spirited, pure, and extremely to my liking," the Sea Witch Douluo completely let go of her inhibitions, and her gossipy soul, belonging to the Sea Witch clan, immediately burned fiercely.

She leaned closer, her blue eyes gleaming with intense curiosity: "Senior, I understand everything about Purple Pearl Island now, and I know how to report back to the High Priest. But I still have one major question..."

"Where did you come from?"

The Sea Goddess Douluo rested her chin on her hands, her eyes full of confusion: "Although our Seagod Island is isolated overseas, it doesn't mean we are blind and deaf. Seagod Island's intelligence network has extremely detailed records of all the titled Douluos on the continent who are even slightly famous, whether they are the elders and elders of the Spirit Hall, or the pillars of the two great empires and the three upper sects."

"However, the title 'Demon God Douluo' is practically nonexistent, as if it popped out of a crack in a rock!"

The Sea Maiden Douluo looked Nan Feng up and down, and the more she thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed: "Logically speaking, with your peerless cultivation of level ninety-eight, plus this... well, exquisitely beautiful and unforgettable appearance, and your lawless and extremely domineering style, you absolutely cannot be an unknown nobody on the continent!"

"What is your background? What was your name before?"

Faced with the Sea Maiden Douluo's barrage of inquisitive questions, Nan Feng did not appear flustered, nor did he get angry at the other party's attempt to probe his secrets.

He didn't even look away from the azure sky, but simply stirred the ice cubes in his glass with a straw, making a crisp clinking sound.

Accompanied by the white noise of the waves, after a moment of silence, Nan Feng took a sip of his juice and said calmly, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"Because in this world, the real 'me'... has actually already died."

"what?"

The second grape that the Sea Maiden Douluo had just put to her lips fell with a "plop" onto the soft sand.

Her big, watery blue eyes widened instantly, her face filled with huge question marks, her brain went blank, and even the blue fishtail that had been swaying happily in mid-air froze in mid-air.

died? !

The Sea Maiden Douluo stared blankly at the "six-year-old little girl" in front of her, who was still slowly drinking juice, breathing steadily, and whose skin even had a rosy glow.

"You...you're not kidding, are you?"

"I'm not kidding."

Nan Feng released the straw he was biting, his heterochromatic eyes remaining completely calm.

“Strictly speaking, I am indeed a dead man. The body you see now is not a flesh and blood body at all, but just an extremely solid mass of energy that has been forcibly created.”

Nan Feng raised his fair and tender little hand, which looked as if he could squeeze water out of it, and examined it in the sunlight. A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips: "Even the appearance of this six-year-old girl's body is something I borrowed from someone else."

The Sea Maiden Douluo was completely dumbfounded. Her red lips were agape, her mind racing with a million questions, but she was too shocked to utter a single complete sentence.

Seeing the Sea Maiden Douluo's utterly shattered worldview, Nan Feng leaned back in his recliner, crossed his hands behind his head, and let out a long sigh.

In fact, during the past year he spent on Purple Pearl Island, he had imagined countless possible scenarios.

To conceal his origins, he had fabricated over a dozen different, seemingly flawless backstories in his mind. He even prepared countless countermeasures and airtight lies in advance to deal with the questioning on Poseidon Island.

But in the end, he abandoned all those deceptive practices.

Because I was too tired, and too stupid.

If he starts by telling a lie to Poseidon, then he will need to tell hundreds or thousands of new lies to cover up the hole.

No matter how perfectly a lie is crafted, it is still just a lie. The truth will always come out eventually.

He had already failed utterly once in his attempt to lie, this time with Bibi Dong.

From the very first time he met her, he habitually wore a mask, repeatedly trying to deceive, scheme against, and cheat her.
