"So the high priest said she was willing to wait and see."
"Let's see what you plan to do. Let's see if you really have the ability to bring about a genuine change in the order of this continent."
"This is the most trust the High Priest can offer. She hopes you... will not let her down."
After listening to the Sea Maiden Douluo's account, Nan Feng gave a wry smile.
"Can you guys stop using these tricks to attack my conscience?" Nan Feng sighed and muttered irritably, "I've already said it before, I don't have that thing at all."
Hearing his stubborn refusal, the Sea Maiden Douluo looked him up and down with a strange expression, and bluntly said, "You don't have that thing? Then why did you suddenly run away from the Sea God Temple yesterday?"
Chapter 210 Sea Girl: You two are a perfect match!
……
Nan Feng was speechless.
To cover up his embarrassment at being exposed, Nan Feng decisively chose to change the subject. He raised his hand and ran it over the storage soul tool, and with a muffled "bang," the mangled remains of the Demon Orca King, now divided into several pieces, were heavily thrown onto the beach.
"Here, this is what we promised before." Nan Feng pointed to the wreckage on the ground and looked at Xiao Bai beside him. "It's a gift for you."
Xiao Bai's azure eyes lit up instantly, gleaming with extreme excitement. She leaped out of the waves, circling the corpse of her former nemesis, sniffing it from all sides, her mouth practically watering.
However, as a sea spirit beast that had lived for a hundred thousand years, she was extremely familiar with the anatomy of her kind. After only a couple of sniffs, the excitement on Xiaobai's face froze. She leaned closer to the split head of the Demon Orca King, examined it carefully, and then cried out in pain:
"Wait a minute! What happened to the finest, most nourishing whale collagen in this head?!"
That's the whale glue of a 100,000-year-old demonic orca king! It's an extremely rare and highly nourishing substance for a sea spirit beast like her!
"I dug that thing up," Nan Feng confessed without changing his expression. "I kept it for myself because I need it."
Hearing that Nan Feng had taken the big head, Xiao Bai was a little heartbroken, but quickly cheered up again. After all, this was the flesh and blood of an entire 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast. Where else would you find such a windfall? Having something to eat was already a blessing!
Besides, Nan Feng truly helped their Demon Soul Great White Shark clan completely eliminate the treacherous Orca pod, a major threat. He was a great benefactor who saved their clan, so it was only right that they take some of the best spoils of war.
Thinking of this, while tearing at the flesh of the Demon Orca King, Xiaobai raised his head and asked indistinctly, "Benefactor, since you specifically took this guy's whale glue, do you really need it?"
"If you need it, I can hunt those sea spirit beasts that produce whale gelatin for you when I patrol the sea in the future!"
Seeing Xiaobai's righteous and enthusiastic demeanor, Nanfeng thought for a moment and then shook his head.
“You don’t need to go hunting specifically.” Nan Feng rejected her suggestion. “After all, you are the guardian beast of Seagod Island, representing the face of Seagod Island. If you want to help me get a few pieces of whale glue, you should go on a killing spree in this sea area. If word gets out, it will have a bad influence, and Poseidon will probably have a headache again.”
"However... if you happen to encounter or kill one of these sea spirit beasts while you're out and about in the sea, you could collect some for me to keep."
Hearing that Nan Feng hadn't completely refused, Xiao Bai nodded vigorously, swallowed a large piece of energy-rich flesh and blood, and solemnly promised despite his slurred speech, "Alright! Don't worry, benefactor, I'll remember!"
Watching Xiaobai devour the "mountain of flesh" with gusto, Nanfeng shook his head helplessly. Then, he turned his head and his gaze fell on the Sea Maiden Douluo standing to the side.
"Speak," Nan Feng said, arms crossed. "Your High Priest sent you two here not just to have breakfast on my beach and deliver a few messages, right? Is there something else?"
The Sea Maiden Douluo swallowed the last bite of her dessert, wiped her mouth, and said matter-of-factly, "There is indeed something else. The High Priest asked us to develop some spies and undercover agents on Purple Pearl Island while we're at it."
“After all…” Sea Maiden Douluo cleared her throat, her expression becoming slightly more serious, “The High Priest said that if one day you really have a bad conscience and cause a bloodbath and a full-scale war on the continent, our Sea God Island will eventually have to face reality.”
“If at that time we are completely unaware of the situation on your Purple Pearl Island and can only passively take a beating, that would be extremely irresponsible to the people of Poseidon Island. So, it’s one thing for her to believe you and not expose your disguise; but it’s another thing to secretly take precautions and leave herself a way out.”
Upon hearing these words, Nan Feng's expression froze instantly, and he was completely dumbfounded.
"No..." Nan Feng pointed to himself, then to the Sea Maiden Douluo, "You came to my territory to develop spies against me as a precaution? And then... you just swaggered in front of me and told me directly?!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo stood with her hands on her hips, looking completely matter-of-fact: "The High Priest said so, so I have to tell you directly!"
"The High Priest's exact words were: 'With a guy like Nan Feng who's full of bad intentions and cunning, if we secretly plant spies on the island, he'll find out in no time. In that case, we might as well just greet him directly.'"
"The High Priest thinks that the best way to deal with someone like you who's always scheming is to be direct." The Sea Maiden Douluo shrugged and spread her hands. "Anyway, we definitely can't outmaneuver you by playing dirty tricks, so the High Priest might as well just bring everything into the open. Let's play it fair!"
Nan Feng was utterly speechless.
As expected of Poseidon. Once this woman abandons her airs as a representative of the gods and starts acting unpredictably, she becomes truly unpredictable.
Just as Nan Feng was sighing to himself, the Sea Maiden Douluo suddenly took two steps closer and blinked her bright, watery eyes: "Now that we're all talking about this, why don't you just recommend a few suitable candidates to be our informants?"
Nan Feng froze abruptly: "...What did you say?"
The Sea Maiden Douluo analyzed seriously, "Think about it, we're not familiar with your wretched island. If the two of us rashly go looking for spies, what if we pick the wrong person or something goes wrong, and we accidentally expose the truth that you, Demon God Douluo, and our Sea God Island are actually 'not that close'? Wouldn't that be terrible? If it affects your overall situation of deceiving people on the mainland, then the sin would be huge."
"You built this place yourself, and you personally arranged all the staff. You must know best who the smartest and most resourceful people are on the whole island, right?"
Looking at the Sea Maiden Douluo in front of him, who was earnestly asking him for the "list of spies targeting him," Nan Feng was momentarily speechless, not even having the energy to complain.
No way, is this how things are done on Poseidon Island now?! Who asks for a list of undercover agents when looking for a target?!
Seeing Nan Feng's utterly bewildered expression, the Sea Maiden Douluo nonchalantly moved closer, even casually hooking her arm around his and shaking it sweetly: "Help me out~ As long as you help us set up our spies, in exchange, I can help you too! Like... helping you win over the High Priest!"
Nan Feng pulled his hand back, looking completely bewildered: "Strategy guide? What strategy guide?!"
"Keep pretending! Keep pretending!" The Sea Maiden Douluo chuckled with a "we all know" expression. "I already heard from that maid on duty about you and the High Priest embracing tightly in the Sea God's Temple! Now all seven of the Sea God's Sacred Pillars know!"
Nan Feng's eyes twitched violently.
Do gossip from those people on Poseidon Island spread this fast?!
"Don't worry, I have high hopes for you!" The Sea Maiden Douluo patted Nan Feng on the shoulder, looking righteous. "Although that guy named Tang Chen was indeed very powerful back then, in my opinion, he had far too little contact with the High Priest."
"I saw through the High Priest's feelings for Tang Chen long ago. It was more of an idealized imagination that had been embellished over the years. Back then, she only witnessed Tang Chen's unparalleled strength and talent, but she knew almost nothing about what kind of person he really was!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo curled her lip, her face full of disdain: "Their relationship is too simple and too fragile. And that Tang Chen is just an unromantic blockhead. He left behind a strange promise and disappeared for decades without a trace. Anyway, I don't like that guy."
At this point, the Sea Maiden Douluo stared at Nan Feng with shining eyes: "But you're different!"
"You're so insidious! So shameless! Most importantly, you managed to completely break the guard of the usually dignified and composed High Priest, even making him so angry that he slapped you himself!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she could already see some amazing show beckoning her: "You two are a perfect match! If you two really end up together, just thinking about life on Seagod Island will be so interesting!"
Nan Feng stared speechlessly at the Sea Maiden Douluo, whose face was full of excitement and whose eyes were practically glowing green.
He now understands it completely.
This woman wasn't thinking about the future of Poseidon Island, nor was she concerned about the high priest's lifelong happiness.
This person just wants to watch the show!
Chapter 211 Ama: I'll Offer Myself as Food to the Tiger
……
Faced with the Sea Maiden Douluo's attitude of enjoying the spectacle, Nan Feng rolled his eyes, took a step back, and waved his hand listlessly:
"Alright, put away your gossipy thoughts. I did have some feelings for your High Priest before, but now... that's gone."
The Sea Maiden Douluo's smile froze, and she asked in confusion, "Huh? Why is it gone?"
"It's gone, it's gone. Why so many questions?" Nan Feng replied dismissively, then looked her up and down, his tone somewhat amused. "Besides, when you saw me on Seagod Island before, didn't you try to avoid me like the plague? Why are you so eager to get close to me today?"
Nan Feng suddenly lunged forward without warning, his imposing double pupils staring directly into her eyes. He lowered his voice and threatened, "Aren't you afraid I might suddenly lose my temper and harm you?"
According to the usual script, this Mermaid Saint Pillar Douluo should be terrified and retreating in fear.
This time, however, the Sea Maiden Douluo didn't panic and dodge as before. Instead, a glint of light flashed in her eyes. Instead of retreating, she moved closer to Nan Feng with a hint of eager anticipation, even slightly raising her chin.
Just as their noses were about to collide, this sudden reversal completely baffled Nan Feng.
The hairs on his body stood on end, and almost instinctively, as if he had been electrocuted, he swiftly pulled away, instantly flashing to a distance of more than two meters.
Seeing Nan Feng's comical attempt to avoid him, the Sea Maiden Douluo paused for a moment, then laughed even more maliciously, like a little fox who had successfully stolen a bite.
The high priest was absolutely right!
This guy is a paper tiger; he just enjoys teasing others and reveling in the thrill of being in control. When he has the upper hand, he's incredibly arrogant, a ruthless villain who'll take advantage of anyone. But the moment someone turns the tables on him, he panics!
The high priest had told her that if Nanfeng wanted to kiss her, the more she dodged and was afraid, the more he would press closer to her; but if she took the initiative and was more proactive than him, he would run away faster than anyone else!
That seemingly intimidating aggression he exudes is all an act to bluff!
Having confirmed this completely, the Sea Maiden Douluo became even bolder. She smiled and leaned forward again, grabbing Nan Feng's arm tightly and saying coquettishly, "Oh dear, why are you running away?"
Nan Feng looked at the Sea Maiden Douluo who was stuck to his arm like a piece of chewing gum, speechless, and complained with a headache: "Seriously, you were such a dignified and ladylike person on Seagod Island before, how come you've become like a hooligan now?"
"Where did I act like a hooligan?" The Sea Maiden Douluo blinked her innocent big eyes and retorted righteously, "You were the one who came up to me first, okay?"
"They were worried that you'd be too embarrassed and heartbroken if you went berserk and no one paid attention to you, so they kindly went along with it. Who knew you'd talk a big game but then run away first and turn around and accuse me of being a pervert?"
Nan Feng was amused by her argument and didn't bother arguing with her nonsense. He tried to pull his arm away, but this woman, a titled Douluo, had no regard for her image and held his arm tightly with both hands like iron clamps, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake her off.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Nanfeng finally gave up.
He sighed helplessly, looking at the sky with a lifeless expression: "Fine, fine, I give up! I promise to help, I'll personally pick out a few of the most suitable and clever undercover agents for you, is that alright? Now get out of here!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo remained like a piece of chewing gum that she couldn't shake off, clinging tightly to Nan Feng's arm and refusing to let go.
"I don't believe your nonsense!" she said, raising her chin confidently. "What if I let go and you just disappear like you did on Poseidon Island? You have a history of desertion!"
Nan Feng suddenly felt exhausted: "How can that be the same? This is my territory, where else can I run to?"
"I don't care, I just need to see you find the right mole for us first." The Sea Maiden Douluo acted like a rogue, then winked slyly. "Besides, if I just stroll around this Purple Pearl Island arm in arm with you, wouldn't that perfectly solidify your identity as 'the Demon God Douluo has Seagod Island backing him up'? That's a win-win situation!"
Nan Feng completely gave up struggling. He sighed and turned to look at Xiao Bai, who was still happily devouring the "mountain of meat" on the beach: "Are you done eating? If you're done, hurry up and let's go. We need to find the undercover agent."
Hearing Nanfeng's call, Xiaobai swallowed the last bite of meat with lingering relish.
With a dazzling white light, her enormous shark body instantly transformed into a tall, slender human figure amidst the ripples of water. The human-shaped Xiaobai trotted over with cheerful steps and naturally grabbed Nan Feng's free left hand.
Now, the two of them, one on each side, practically had Nan Feng completely sandwiched in the middle.
Nan Feng looked down speechlessly at Xiao Bai, who was grinning foolishly on the left, and then at the Sea Maiden Douluo, who looked smug on the right.
"No, is this scene real?" Nan Feng asked, his face full of black lines. "One of you is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and the other is a titled Douluo. Aren't you afraid that I might suddenly attack?"
Little White shook its head vigorously, its face full of trust: "Don't be afraid! The High Priest himself said you're a good person! And you've helped our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan so much, you're a really good person!"
Before Nan Feng could even complain about being given a "friend zone" card, the Sea Maiden Douluo on his right shamelessly chimed in.
"That's right, what's there to be afraid of?" The Sea Maiden Douluo puffed out her chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. "If you really lose your bestial instincts, then... for the sake of the High Priest's peace plan, I'll just humble myself and offer myself as food to the tiger! It's no big deal, is it?"
"..."
Nan Feng's mentality completely collapsed.
He realized acutely that when someone becomes shameless to a certain degree, his dark and defensive theories become completely ineffective. Too lazy to argue with these two oddballs any longer, he was half-carried by them, feeling utterly hopeless, and headed towards the core area of Purple Pearl Island.
Today, under Nan Feng's planning and financial support, Purple Pearl Island's prosperity is no less than that of Han Hai City in the Heavenly Dou Empire, and even shows a tendency to surpass it. The streets are wide and clean, lined with shops, and bustling with activity.
Nan Feng was being led down the street by two stunningly beautiful women, one on each side. This eye-catching combination quickly drew the attention of countless islanders and pirates.
