Poseidon's anger flared instantly, and she was about to rebuke him.
Before she could even utter a sound, Nan Feng, as if seeing a savior, spoke up first, sounding aggrieved:
"High Priest! You've finally arrived! You must judge this matter for me!"
Nan Feng pointed at the Sea Dragon Douluo lying on the ground, "I had nowhere to sleep in the middle of the night, so I just wanted to ask for directions in a friendly manner, and also ask if there were any spare rooms in the city where I could make do for the night."
"And this guy, without saying a word, rushed up at me shouting and threatening to kill me! To save my life, I had no choice but to act in self-defense! Is this how you treat guests on Seagod Island—just casually beating up people who ask for directions?"
Poseidon was so angry at Nan Feng's shameless words that her chest tightened. She ignored the drama queen and instead turned her gaze to the Sea Dragon Douluo lying on the ground.
Sea Dragon Douluo clutched his chest, struggling to his feet with the help of a purple-clad Sea Soul Master. He not only didn't deny that he had struck first, but instead stared intently at Nan Feng with an extremely angry, even deeply hateful, gaze!
"High Priest! Please don't be fooled by this treacherous fellow!"
Hailong Douluo pointed at Nan Feng through gritted teeth, "This person... this person is Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall who invaded our Seagod Island across the sea back then!"
"She's far too arrogant! She had the blood of so many of our compatriots on her hands back then, and today she dares to blatantly sneak onto our Seagod Island!"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
She had previously heard from the Sea Maiden Douluo that Nan Feng had personally admitted that this body was borrowed from Bibi Dong. But the question is... how did the Sea Dragon Douluo know that?
Given Nan Feng's current appearance as a delicate, six-year-old girl, could the Sea Dragon Douluo possibly possess X-ray vision to see through her appearance and recognize her as Bibi Dong?
"Hailong, calm down," Poseidon said in a deep voice. "How do you know it was her?"
"High Priestess, her appearance as a six-year-old child is nothing but a disguise to fool people!"
Sea Dragon Douluo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and loudly explained, "Just now, when she stepped into Sea Dragon City, she didn't look like this at all! Her true appearance at that time was exactly the same as that of Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall who led her troops to attack our Seagod Island back then! I would never mistake that face even if I died!"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned to look at Nan Feng, who had an innocent-looking face.
"Oh dear, we've been found out."
Nan Feng clapped his hands gently.
The next moment, under the extremely vigilant gazes of Poseidon and Sea Dragon Douluo.
Suddenly, an intense, purplish-black light burst forth from Nan Feng's petite six-year-old body!
The light enveloped him completely, as if it were a tangible substance.
Immediately afterwards, the body began to stretch, grow taller, and become fuller at a speed that defied the laws of biology, all within the purple light!
In just a few breaths!
The purple light suddenly dissipated.
That adorable little girl, who kept calling herself a rascal, has disappeared.
Instead, there was a tall, curvaceous young woman whose figure was so alluring it was breathtaking.
It was none other than Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, who was around twenty years old, full of youthful vigor, yet exuding an extremely dangerous aura!
Nan Feng tilted his head slightly, looking at Poseidon with a half-smile, "What? High Priest, back to this appearance..."
"Can you arrange a place for me to stay now?"
Chapter 175 Everything I did was for you
……
In the end, Poseidon still couldn't do anything to Nanfeng.
Under the almost murderous gaze of the Sea Dragon Douluo, she coldly used the Light of the Sea God to forcibly envelop this hot potato with the shell of "Bibi Dong" and returned to the Sea God Temple on the top of the Sea God Mountain.
Bringing Nan Feng back under his nose was a compromise Poseidon made out of extreme desperation.
After all, this guy in front of her was a genuine level 98 peak Douluo! On this vast Seagod Island, apart from her, the demigod high priestess, neither the seven holy pillar guardians nor the thousands of sea soul masters could stop him.
If this guy were to wander around the major cities of Poseidon Island in the middle of the night with Bibi Dong's hate-filled face, asking for directions, Poseidon would be sure that within half an hour, the entire island would be in complete riot, and might even turn into a one-sided bloody massacre!
But what troubled Poseidon the most, and even made her feel somewhat frustrated, was not Nan Feng's martial prowess, but rather the extremely troublesome contradiction in him that prevented her from legitimately killing him.
From the intelligence gathered over the past six months, to the various actions taken on Purple Pearl Island, and finally, landing on Seagod Island...
This guy who calls himself Demon God Douluo has never shown even the slightest bit of real hostility towards Seagod Island!
On the contrary, all along his journey, whether it was opening up sea routes to benefit the sea people, climbing the Nine Heavens Mystic Steps under heavy pressure, or even facing the high priestess's repeated forceful oppression, the attitude he showed was to "show goodwill" to Seagod Island in an extremely tough manner!
You could even say he was using an extremely shameless method to prove his "sincerity" to Poseidon Island!
After arriving at Poseidon Island, although this guy was outspoken and acted extremely shamelessly, he did not actually do anything truly heinous or violate the bottom line of Poseidon Island.
This is the fundamental reason why Poseidon was helpless against him!
If Nan Feng dares to spout nonsense and insult the Sea God in front of the Sea God's Temple; or if he bullies others in Sea Dragon City and actually kills Sea Dragon Douluo, then Poseidon will not only have no scruples, but will also rightfully and justifiably mobilize the power of the sea to suppress him on the spot with overwhelming force!
The problem is—this guy doesn't have it!
You told him to walk up the main steps that were covered in the light of the sea god, and he actually climbed up step by step obediently. In the end, he even risked his life and almost broke down his clone, but he still managed to run up to you!
You threaten him, saying that since he won't tell the truth, he should stay on Poseidon Island forever.
Instead of resisting or getting angry, this guy acted like a shameless vagrant, dusted himself off, stood up, and happily took advantage of the situation, even starting to pester you to ask if food and lodging were provided and if you could sleep in my palace!
Aside from that ingrained shamelessness and the unpredictable, cunning nature of his character...
This guy was absolutely obedient the whole time; he did whatever you asked him to do! It was terrifying how obedient he was!
It's like an extremely cunning fox that, despite being full of evil intentions, disguises itself as a harmless hedgehog, then lies flat on its back in front of you, exposing its softest belly.
You know perfectly well that he is a huge hidden danger, but when you raise the butcher's knife, you find that you can't find any legitimate reason to convince yourself or the world to cut him down!
This feeling of "drawing a sword and looking around in bewilderment," and the frustration of punching cotton, made Poseidon, the peerless powerhouse who had ruled the ocean for a hundred years, experience for the first time what it truly meant to be "completely at a loss."
The Temple of Poseidon was spacious and solemn.
Poseidon sat on the ice-blue throne that symbolized the authority of the high priest, one hand supporting her forehead, looking at Bibidon, who stood in the center of the hall, looking at the murals around her with great interest, and felt a splitting headache.
What exactly do you want?
Poseidon took a deep breath, her voice filled with a profound sense of powerlessness and exhaustion: "Now that you've achieved your goal, you've resorted to such underhanded tactics to force me to compromise and drag my Poseidon Island into this mess..."
Poseidon stared directly into Nan Feng's heterochromatic eyes, her gaze becoming extremely complex: "Now, in this temple where only the two of us are, can you finally tell me your true plan?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng slowly turned around.
He didn't answer immediately, but looked at Poseidon with a half-smile in his heterochromatic eyes and asked, "What plans do you think I could have, High Priest? Or... are you wondering what I'm up to?"
Poseidon frowned slightly, her voice tinged with annoyance and confusion: "I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to achieve by going through all this trouble?"
"For my own sake."
Nan Feng spread his hands with complete composure, “I never claim to be a good person. I am selfish and don’t care about using any means necessary. To survive and to achieve my own goals, I can stop at nothing.”
"But precisely because everything I do is for myself, I will only ever do things for myself."
Nan Feng walked to the cold stone pillar of the temple and gently stroked the patterns on it: "I don't care about the so-called righteousness of the world that you talk about, I don't care about any hypocritical moral constraints, and I don't care how the world sees me. It doesn't matter, none of it matters."
"As long as I live, and as long as I can achieve my goal, that's enough. Whether it's the matter of Purple Pearl Island or standing here now, I'm not doing it for the Spirit Hall, nor for the Heaven Dou Empire..."
Nan Feng looked directly at Poseidon and said, "I'm only doing this for myself."
Listening to these extreme and absolute egoistic remarks, Poseidon became increasingly confused: "Then what real benefit do these things bring to you? Is it... merely for that so-called 'sense of accomplishment' you mentioned earlier?"
"of course not."
Nan Feng chuckled lightly, "High Priest, you might want to think carefully about what I've gained after all this time on the high seas, pouring in so much effort and scheming."
Poseidon frowned.
What did you get?
He relinquished control of Purple Pearl Island without hesitation, but he didn't pocket the enormous wealth of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Upon closer examination, it seems that besides getting himself into a lot of trouble, he didn't gain anything.
Just as Poseidon was deep in thought, Nan Feng, who had been standing a few steps away, suddenly stepped forward without warning, leaned in, and forcefully placed his hands on either side of Poseidon's ice-blue throne!
His body, which belonged to Bibi Dong, aggressively pressed down directly on top of Poseidon.
The distance between the two instantly shrank to the extreme, and even their warm breaths and strands of hair intertwined.
"Hasn't the High Priest discovered it yet?"
Nan Feng stared intently into Poseidon's eyes, his voice low and filled with an eerie sense of oppression: "Everything I've done... is for you."
Forced down in such a provocative and ambiguous position, Poseidon's instincts as an unparalleled powerhouse were instantly aroused. A massive surge of sea god's light instinctively erupted from within her, ready to blast this reckless fellow away.
But before she could really exert her strength, Nan Feng took the first step and lightly retreated.
He then casually leaned against the armrest of Poseidon's throne and began to explain to himself:
"High Priest, think about it carefully. If I hadn't caused such a commotion on Purple Pearl Island, would you have sent the Sea Maiden Douluo to contact me? Would you have invited me to this Sea God Island in a grand manner? Even though I was so shameless and provocative at the foot of the mountain just now, you still refrained from killing me?"
"Obviously impossible."
Nan Feng answered his own question, "The reason you have been able to tolerate me again and again is not only because I have not actually done anything outrageous that violates the bottom line of Seagod Island, but also mainly because what I did on Purple Pearl Island has truly benefited the civilians at sea."
"Many of the residents of Purple Pearl Island and the sea people who were incorporated into the island have some kind of relationship with your Sea God Island. So, in a way, I have done Sea God Island a favor."
Nanfeng looked at Poseidon and said, "It is precisely because of this genuine human kindness and cause and effect that you, as the High Priest, cannot morally and rationally convince yourself to kill me. Unless, I have really done something that would incur divine and human wrath."
Poseidon fell silent.
She didn't deny it, because it was the truth. But this truth only made her feel an increasing sense of absurdity and incomprehension.
She looked at Nan Feng, who was leaning against her divine throne, and said, "Could it be... that you went to all this trouble to create so many events that could change the course of the continent, just so you could stand in front of me and cause me trouble?!"
"Isn't that enough?" Nan Feng retorted without hesitation.
Poseidon was completely stunned.
"High Priest, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about your own worth?"
Nan Feng continued, "Although I possess peak strength of level ninety-eight, which might allow me to roam freely on the continent, what does this level of strength mean in your absolute home turf as a demigod high priest?"
"If I do nothing but rely on my cultivation level and, like the arrogant Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen back then, directly force my way into Seagod Island to find you..."
"What do you think will happen to me?"
Nan Feng turned his head slightly, "If I didn't pull off so many 'favors' and 'trump cards' that would prevent you from killing me..."
"Can I stay here in the Temple of Poseidon unharmed and be alone with you, High Priest?"
