Looking at Nan Feng's seemingly lonely yet actually "affectionate" back, the maid swallowed hard. Although she promised not to ask any more questions, a seed of "sympathy" had already taken root in her heart.

The high priest dedicated his entire life to Poseidon Island, living a lonely and desolate life for over a hundred years!

Now, the high priestess has finally met a man who can forcefully open her heart and with whom she can develop feelings.

If a high priest were to choose to sever or abandon this relationship because of that damned "high priest's duty," it would be too cruel and a pity!

The maid clenched her fists, secretly making a decision in her heart that would defy her ancestors:

"No! The High Priestess has sacrificed so much for Seagod Island; she has the right to pursue her own happiness! Perhaps we could quietly inform the Guardians of the Holy Pillars about this and ask them to persuade the High Priestess together!"

Chapter 189 Making Friends

……

Poseidon Island, the City of the Sea Maidens.

Inside the city lord's mansion, which is decorated in azure and pink and white and filled with a dreamy ocean atmosphere, the Sea Maiden Douluo is sitting on a couch covered with soft sea beast skin, enjoying her exquisite lunch.

She had just put a plate of fresh, tender Poseidon Island sashimi into her mouth, before she could even savor the sweetness from the deep sea.

"Shh-"

Inside the hall, the space distorted slightly, and a tall, slender figure exuding a cold and oppressive aura appeared out of thin air without warning.

"Cough...cough cough!"

The Sea Maiden Douluo was so startled by this sudden turn of events that she almost choked on the sashimi in her mouth!

When she saw the newcomer's deep purple hair and distinctive heterochromatic pupils, her instinctive alertness as a soul beast instantly kicked in. Her beautiful blue fishtail slapped the bed, and she lunged backward, trying to escape through the door!

However, before her fish tail could even leave the bed by half an inch...

Nan Feng's figure had already traversed the distance of space, instantly teleporting right in front of her, blocking all her escape routes from above.

Why are you running?

Nan Feng pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the Sea Maiden Douluo's bed. "I'm not going to eat you."

The Sea Maiden Douluo pressed herself tightly against the wall behind her, her hands defensively clasped to her chest, her delicate face filled with a hint of panic.

What are you afraid of? How dare you ask such a question?

The Sea Maiden Douluo mentally ranted, involuntarily replaying in her mind the humiliating scene from that morning in front of the Sacred Pillar Platform, where this man had caught her completely off guard and lifted her into the air.

Why didn't the high priest lock him up in the Temple of Poseidon? Why did he release this dangerous fellow again?!

Seemingly seeing through the Sea Maiden Douluo's inner thoughts, Nan Feng spread his hands and said, "Sea Maiden City Lord, can we talk this out? Since we met, have I ever hurt you in any way?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo paused for a moment, then thought back carefully. Although this guy had a terrifying aura and acted outrageously, he had indeed... not caused any substantial harm.

"……No."

"Then let me ask you again." Nan Feng leaned forward slightly, "This morning at the Sacred Pillar Platform, did I use force to force you to do anything?"

Upon hearing this question, the Sea Maiden Douluo's face instantly flushed red, her eyes turning strange and indignant: "You...you forcibly hugged me right away!"

“Yes, I hugged you.” Nan Feng didn’t feel guilty at all; instead, he nodded confidently. “But let me ask you this: when the High Priest told you to let go, or rather, when you showed extreme resistance… didn’t I let go of you?”

The Sea Maiden Douluo opened her mouth, unsure how to refute it.

Because he did release it. And he released it extremely decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Nan Feng leaned back in his chair and shrugged. "See? You told me to let go, and I did immediately. Doesn't that prove that I'm actually a very reasonable person who respects women's wishes?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo was completely speechless at this bizarre logic.

"But...but! You hugged me without my permission, without even saying hello. Is that...is that polite?!"

"polite?"

Nan Feng looked puzzled. "Lord of the Sea Maiden City, you're not a child anymore. Can you please not look at things from such a naive perspective?"

"I am a peerless Douluo at the peak of level ninety-eight, an existence who can roam freely across the entire continent and ocean. Do you think that with my current strength and status, I have the right to do whatever I want in this world?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo bit her lip, unable to refute. In a world like Douluo Continent where strength reigns supreme, a peak Douluo of level ninety-eight is indeed the law of survival.

“So,” Nan Feng pointed to the Sea Maiden Douluo’s beautiful and delicate face, and her exotic blue fishtail, “I find it pleasing to the eye to see how beautiful and cute you are. As a normal man, I want to hug you up close. This is my instinctive desire as a strong person, and it is also a privilege granted to me by my strength.”

"but!"

"When you showed dislike or reluctance, I immediately restrained my instincts and decisively let you go."

Nan Feng stared intently at the bewildered look in the Sea Maiden Douluo's eyes.

"I hugged you because I like you and find you cute; this is my privilege and instinct as a top-tier powerhouse."

"And the fact that I released you immediately after you showed resistance is the greatest respect and restraint I can show you as a human being."

"I followed my own heart without forcing anyone else. Is there anything wrong with that?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo was completely speechless.

Even though this guy is a scoundrel, why do I keep listening to his bizarre logic...?

That actually makes a lot of sense!

Seeing the stunned expression on the Sea Maiden Douluo's face, as if she'd been completely fooled, Nan Feng spread his hands and added:

"Actually, even now, sitting here looking at your beautiful fish tail, I really want to hug you again."

The sea maiden Douluo's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, instantly jumped into her throat again, and her body instinctively shrank back.

“But you see, I know you don’t want me to hug you right now, so I’ve just sat here obediently and haven’t even touched a single fish scale of yours,” Nan Feng said.

"What are you afraid of when I'm such an understanding, reasonable, and restrained person?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo stared, utterly speechless.

She even had the illusion that if she argued with him again, it would be as if she were being unreasonable!

What is this guy's skin made of? How can he make such blatant thuggish behavior sound so pure, noble, and righteous?!

However, the Sea Maiden Douluo was still a Title Douluo, and after a brief mental lapse, she finally grasped the point. She blinked in confusion, "Wait... weren't you taken back to the Sea God Temple by the High Priest? How did you get out again?"

"Sigh..." Nan Feng sighed deeply. "The High Priestess is angry and has locked herself in her room, ignoring me. There's nothing I can do but tactfully get away from her to avoid further upsetting her."

The Sea Maiden Douluo looked strange, her large, azure eyes filled with disbelief.

Did you anger the High Priest?!

The High Priestess is such a sacred and good-tempered person; she has been gentle and composed to everyone for the past hundred years. How could you possibly make her angry? Moreover, to make Nan Feng, that shameless and utterly shameless guy, use words like "angry" and "ignoring me"...

That high priest was probably not just ordinary angry, but had been driven to the point of losing his composure by this guy!

The Sea Maiden Douluo looked at Nan Feng as if he were an unparalleled monster.

What heinous crime did this guy commit in the Temple of Poseidon?!

Nan Feng clearly had no interest in what kind of scenes were wildly imagining in the Sea Maiden Douluo's mind. He changed the subject and asked directly:

"By the way, I have a question for you. Has Little White, the guardian beast of your Seagod Island and the king of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, returned yet?"

"Little White?" The Sea Maiden Douluo was taken aback. "What do you want with Little White?"

"Making friends, of course," Nan Feng said, leaning back in his chair as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I've heard that besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, that shut-in, there's also a Demon Orca King causing trouble everywhere on this ocean, and he's been the mortal enemy of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan for generations."

"Now that we've come all this way to Seagod Island, we should naturally do as the locals do and make some friends. You titled Douluos who guard the Holy Pillars are probably avoiding me like the plague because of my awkward identity, and you're all unwilling to talk to me right now."

"Since you're ignoring me, I'll have to settle for second best and find someone on Seagod Island who might be willing to talk to me."

Nan Feng leaned forward slightly, looking directly into the eyes of the Sea Maiden Douluo:

"You said... if I take action and help Little White kill that evil orca king, I can eliminate this generation's mortal enemy for their Demon Soul Great White Shark clan."

"Xiaobai will be very happy, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Sea Maiden Douluo's large, azure eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.

Although she was simple-minded, she was definitely not stupid. This man in front of her, who dared to offend even the High Priest and was full of evil intentions, was suddenly offering to help Xiaobai eliminate her ancestral enemy. He didn't seem to have any good intentions at all!

However, if we don't agree to take him, who knows what kind of upheaval this level 98 living Yama will cause in the Sea Maiden City or even the entire Sea God Island after he is driven out by the High Priest and is extremely bored.

She had heard that even the Sea Dragon Douluo had been beaten up by this guy!

Chapter 190 Transformed Soul Beast?

……

After weighing the pros and cons, the Sea Maiden Douluo could only sigh helplessly: "Alright, I'll take you to find her. You're lucky, Little White just returned from hunting with the Demon Soul Great White Shark group last night, and she should still be resting in the waters surrounding the island."

Xiao Bai, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, is a powerful 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast.

Tens of thousands of years ago, she was the mount of Poseidon, the god of the sea, before he became a god.

After Poseidon ascended to the realm of the gods, Little White benefited greatly. Not only did it receive the protection of the sea god's divine power, but the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan also gloriously became the exclusive guardians of Sea God Island.

Their habitat was also directly relocated to the surrounding waters of Poseidon Island, becoming a solid first natural barrier protecting Poseidon Island from external disturbances.

Led by the Sea Maiden Douluo, the two soon arrived at a calm, crescent-shaped bay on the edge of Seagod Island.

Standing on the golden sand, looking at the boundless blue sea, Nan Feng said, "I'm a terrible swimmer, so I'd rather not go into the water. I'd appreciate it if the Sea Maiden City Lord could use her divine power to summon your island's guardian beast for a chat."

The Sea Maiden Douluo rolled her eyes speechlessly, but there was nothing she could do. She raised her hands, and with a strange fluctuation of soul power, her martial soul, a crystal-clear Sea Demon Flute, appeared out of thin air in her palms.

The Sea Maiden Douluo brought the Sea Demon Flute to her lips and began to play softly.

"Waaah—waaah—"

The melodious, ethereal, yet uniquely penetrating flute music carried on the sea breeze to the deep ocean in an instant.

Not long after.

"Crack-!"

Suddenly, a huge splash erupted on the once calm sea! A massive, streamlined, greyish-white great white shark leaped out of the water!

In mid-air, accompanied by a strange flash of gray-blue light, the enormous sea spirit beast smoothly completed its transformation and landed steadily on the beach in front of Nan Feng and the Sea Maiden Douluo.

When the light faded, what appeared before Nan Feng was a stunningly beautiful woman with a wild and exotic charm.

Her height was astonishing, almost as tall as Nan Feng. For an ordinary girl, such an impressive height would easily make her appear bulky and disproportionate. But Xiao Bai was completely different; her long, gray-blue hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, reaching all the way to the ground.
