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

Fortunately, Feng Ling, a former Soul Master from Seagod Island, was respectfully leading the way. Although everyone was incredibly gossipy and suspicious, no one dared to step forward and say anything.

On the street, there were many Soul Masters who had been forced to stay on Purple Pearl Island because they failed the Seagod Island test. They only needed one glance to recognize the Sea Maiden Douluo and the 100,000-year-old guardian beast Little White beside Nan Feng in horror.

However, everyone looked at the purple-haired, double-eyed man in the middle with blank expressions.

Before this, Nan Feng had always been the one giving orders on the island as a six-year-old little girl. No one knew where this adult man who could make the two big shots of Seagod Island so intimate came from.

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, Nan Feng finally arrived at the Presidential Palace on Purple Pearl Island.

This is the highest authority center for all affairs on the island; all instructions, from coastal defense deployment and daily patrols to domestic affairs and people's livelihood, are issued from here.

Hearing that the Sea Maiden Douluo of Poseidon Island and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King had personally arrived on the island, Purple Pearl, the highest-ranking officer of Purple Pearl Island appointed by Nan Feng and the Navy Marshal of Purple Pearl Island, rushed over with her people without even having time to change her clothes.

Chapter 212 Keep the good stuff within the family

……

At first glance when they met in the lobby, Purple Pearl didn't recognize the man in the middle.

But after taking a second look, she quickly noticed Nan Feng's signature spider-like double pupils, which exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Recalling her teacher's bizarre ability to transform into both cute and mature women, Purple Pearl's brain raced: Since she could transform into a woman and a little girl, then suddenly transforming into an adult man now... doesn't seem like such an unacceptable thing.

Having confirmed their identities, Purple Pearl, being extremely tactful, asked no questions and respectfully led Nan Feng and the other two to the secret meeting hall deep within the Presidential Palace.

As soon as he entered, Nan Feng waved his hand, signaling all irrelevant people except for Zi Zhenzhu to leave.

After the door closed, Purple Pearl could no longer contain her curiosity and cautiously stepped forward to ask, "Teacher... is this your new look?"

"You know that's fine." Nan Feng nodded and walked to the main seat to sit down. "However, when announcing it to the public, let's change the wording. From today onwards, this is the true Demon God Douluo. As for that little loli from before, we'll announce that she's my younger sister."

Purple Pearl carefully examined Nan Feng's current handsome and upright appearance, which also exuded a hint of evil and coldness, and nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed. Your current image and temperament are most suitable for the title of 'Demon God Douluo'. The way you were before was a bit lacking in intimidation."

However, as she watched, Purple Pearl's usually unconventional thought process began to wander and go astray again.

Previously, the teacher was only "both cute and mature," but at least he was female. But now, he's "both male and female"! He can even switch body parts at will, which means… in certain indescribable areas, the teacher can…

As she thought about it, Purple Pearl's heroic face suddenly flushed uncontrollably, and her eyes began to become sticky.

Noticing Purple Pearl's increasingly strange flushed face and eerie gaze, Nan Feng's expression immediately became tense.

"Buzz!"

A sharp gaze, carrying a merciless mental impact, slammed into Purple Pearl's mind like a heavy hammer, instantly making her dizzy and seeing stars.

"Ouch!" Purple Pearl clutched her head, looking at Nan Feng with a bewildered expression. "Teacher, what happened? Why did you suddenly hit me?"

Nan Feng's face darkened, and he snapped, "Clear all that filthy, yellow nonsense from your head! Don't think I don't know what disgusting things you were thinking!"

Caught red-handed in her lewd thoughts, Purple Pearl felt no shame. Instead, she rubbed her hands nervously and muttered under her breath, "What's wrong with that... I'm the disciple, and the teacher is the teacher. It's only natural to keep the good stuff in the family..."

Upon hearing this, the Sea Maiden Douluo, who was holding a teacup and about to drink water, nearly choked to death with a "pfft".

Her eyes widened as she stared at the astonishing words of Purple Pearl, her face breaking into a grimace as she tried to suppress her laughter: "Good heavens, your apprentice, whose head is full of lewd nonsense... is indeed quite a 'treasure'!"

"Alright, stop laughing at her." Nan Feng glanced at the Sea Maiden Douluo and ruthlessly exposed her, "You two are two of a kind, with similar ideas in your heads, so don't make the older brother laugh at the younger brother."

The Sea Maiden Douluo was immediately displeased upon hearing this, her face flushed red as she was about to retort, "I didn't—"

"Let's get down to business." Nan Feng was too lazy to argue with her, so he raised his hand to interrupt and steer the conversation back on track.

He pointed to Purple Pearl, who was still rubbing her head, and said seriously, "Purple Pearl is my disciple. She is not yet twenty years old this year, but she has already reached the Soul King level. At the same time, she is also the highest leader I have appointed on Purple Pearl Island besides myself."

Then, Nan Feng pointed outside the door: "There's also Feng Ling waiting outside. She's a Soul Saint of over seventy levels. You, the Sea Maiden, should know her. She used to be from your Sea Maiden City. She stayed outside after failing the Sea God's Trial."

"These two are the most suitable candidates I recommend to you."

Nan Feng analyzed, "They are both native Sea Soul Masters. One is from Purple Pearl Island and has a very high reputation among the pirates; the other is from Sea God Island and has impeccable credentials. Moreover, both of them currently hold important positions on Purple Pearl Island and wield absolute power."

"Most importantly, given their status as sea spirit masters and their upbringing, even if an irreversible war or major problems break out on the continent in the future, they will undoubtedly stand unconditionally on the side of sea spirit masters and the ocean."

"So, handing these two over to you as undercover agents and as the eyes and ears of Poseidon Island here is more than enough. If we send too many people, it will only lead to more gossip and trouble, and we'll be exposed."

After listening to Nan Feng's highly convincing analysis, the Sea Maiden Douluo nodded thoughtfully, finding no fault with it.

However, she turned to look at Zi Zhenzhu, who was still staring at Nan Feng's new look with a lovesick expression, and couldn't help but reveal a deep doubt in her eyes: "The choice of personnel is fine... but are you sure that your apprentice, whose head is full of dirty thoughts, can really take on such a difficult and brain-intensive task as an undercover agent?"

"It's true that her mind is full of lewd thoughts, but her abilities are also real."

Nan Feng said without any modesty, "After all, she is my disciple whom I personally trained. With her talent, skills and current strength, if she had gone to your Seagod Island to take the test back then, she would have been able to pass the high-level Black Rank test. In the future, even if she breaks through to the Title Douluo level, it would not be impossible for her to take over as your Guardian Pillar."

Hearing Nan Feng give such high praise, the Sea Maiden Douluo said nothing more. She knew that although Nan Feng was a scoundrel, he was undeniably skilled at judging people and training subordinates.

"Alright, I've found the right person for you." Nan Feng stood up, dusting off his hands. "I won't get involved in the specifics of developing the undercover agents and the code words. You guys can discuss that yourselves. I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now."

Just as Nan Feng was about to slip away...

"Snapped!"

The Sea Maiden Douluo reacted swiftly, grabbing his sleeve tightly and complaining with a reluctant expression, "Hey, hey, hey! Why aren't you getting involved? Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to play your role to the fullest? Why are you running away?"

Nan Feng stopped and turned to look at the Sea Maiden Douluo clinging to his arm like a koala. His face darkened, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart: "What do you mean? I even picked out the candidates for you. Do you expect me to personally go down into the fray and teach these two how to infiltrate my territory and become my undercover agents?!"

He wants him to teach others how to infiltrate right under his nose? What kind of outrageous, top-tier schizophrenic plot is this?!

The Sea Maiden Douluo blinked her big, watery eyes, and asked innocently yet confidently, "What's wrong? You're an old fox, full of experience, why can't you teach me yourself...?"

“…” Nan Feng.

"How about I teach you some of those dirty tricks to manipulate people, and then you go back to Seagod Island and become my undercover agent?"

To everyone's surprise, the Sea Maiden Douluo was not deterred by this outrageous suggestion. Instead, her eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly, "Sure!"

"As long as you're willing to teach me, I guarantee I'll apply all the techniques you teach me to the High Priest! I can get you all of the High Priest's habits and secret preferences exactly as they are!"

The Sea Maiden Douluo patted her chest and guaranteed, "I guarantee you'll be able to please her! You'll hit the mark on the first try! You'll win the beauty's heart soon!"

"Go to hell! Get lost!"

Nan Feng couldn't hold back any longer. He flung her hand away, his face dark, and strode out of the conference room.

I absolutely cannot be alone with this merman whose mind is always full of gossip and troublemaking again!

Chapter 213 The Prince Goes to Sea, and the Group Gets Freebies

……

While Nan Feng was feeling headaches and going crazy over the bizarre educational issues of the undercover agent...

On the sea less than ten miles from Purple Pearl Island.

A massive fleet, flying the royal flag of the Heavenly Dou Empire and laden with goods and supplies, is sailing majestically towards Purple Pearl Island.

However, unlike the cargo ships that came purely for trade interests in the past, this time, the huge flagship leading the ship also welcomed several very special and important figures.

In addition to Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, who were in charge of the safety and escort of the royal family, several legitimate heirs of the Heaven Dou royal family were also present.

Except for the youngest, the fourth prince Xue Beng, whose body could not withstand the long voyage, and who was left outside the palace, the eldest prince Xue Qinghe, the second prince, and the third prince all stood on the main ship sailing towards the unknown sea.

This ocean voyage was ostensibly organized by Emperor Xueye to broaden the horizons of his princes and give them experience.

After all, after more than a year of development, Purple Pearl Island has become extremely important to the Heaven Dou Empire.

This place is not only a treasure trove for the empire's overseas trade, but also, in the future, it is very likely to become the only and irreplaceable communication hub between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the legendary Sea God Island.

These princes are all currently considered potential heirs to the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Emperor Xue Ye is clearly planning ahead, cultivating a macro-strategic vision in them now and exposing them to this crucial overseas territory that will determine the future of the empire.

Of course, Qian Renxue, disguised as the eldest prince Xue Qinghe, was also instrumental in getting these princes to "join forces" into the business world, cleverly fueling the flames around Emperor Xueye.

After all, Nan Feng had told her personally that if she could give up those underhanded assassinations and poisonings and choose to fight for the throne honorably, crushing everything with the power of the king, he wouldn't mind helping her behind the scenes.

Since Nanfeng has put it this way, let's just have a fair and square competition.

In the eyes of outsiders and the court, although Xue Qinghe holds the title of the eldest prince, he is only born to a concubine, and that concubine had passed away many years ago. Therefore, he has almost no support from his maternal family in the court and among the people.

In contrast, the Second Prince and the Third Prince are the sons of the current Empress, with impeccable lineage. Furthermore, the Second Prince has shown exceptional intelligence and political acumen since childhood, while the Third Prince possesses the strongest talent among his brothers in martial spirit cultivation.

In the eyes of the world, the competitive advantage of these two legitimate princes was actually far greater than that of the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, who had always appeared gentle, quiet, and even somewhat indifferent to worldly affairs.

To completely change this deeply ingrained sense of inferiority in the court, it would be extremely inappropriate to allow Xue Qinghe himself to suddenly change his temperament and become more assertive.

After all, if a prince who has been kind, benevolent and unassuming for the past ten years suddenly reveals strong ambition and cunning without warning, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of Emperor Xueye, and he will be targeted by a group of court officials, and even regarded as a thorn in the side by other princes and the forces behind them.

Therefore, she must quietly obtain overwhelming support from the outside world to break the deadlock.

The "Demon God Douluo," currently stationed on Purple Pearl Island with a mysterious and unfathomable background, is undoubtedly the best and most reliable source of assistance.

At this moment, at the front of the main ship's deck.

Ning Fengzhi, dressed in white and holding a scepter, gazed at the gradually clearer outline of the islands on the distant horizon. Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, stood beside him like an iron tower, vigilantly sensing all movements in the surrounding sea.

Actually, Sword Douluo Chen Xin originally wanted to join in the fun and enjoy the sea view during this escort mission. However, Ning Fengzhi considered that this was, after all, the unpredictable deep sea. Although Chen Xin's combat power was the best in the world, if they encountered any sudden crisis or attacks from powerful sea spirit beasts at sea, Gu Rong, who was skilled in spatial power and defense, would be more reliable in protecting the prince and the ship.

So, in the end, Gu Rong came with Ning Fengzhi.

Facing the damp sea breeze, Gu Rong frowned slightly as he looked at the princes talking on the deck not far away, somewhat puzzled by Emperor Xue Ye's actions.

“Feng Zhi,” Gu Rong lowered his voice, his tone tinged with doubt, “I can understand why the old emperor wanted these youngsters to make contact with the forces on Seagod Island so early. But… why did he insist on sending all three princes here at the same time?”

"It can't be that the old emperor has suddenly become senile and wants to sow discord among his brothers, can it?" Gu Rong shook his head. "The struggle for the throne and the resulting turmoil in the court has always been a major taboo in every dynasty. What exactly is this old man Xue Ye up to?"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled lightly, then shook his head with a deep gaze: "Uncle Gu, you're overthinking it. Given His Majesty's temperament, he would never have the intention to raise Gu poison, and the Tiandou royal family would never want to engage in the cruel drama of raising Gu poison and fighting like the Xingluo Empire royal family."

"After all, once that kind of bloody competition begins, the outcome will inevitably be that the winner takes all and the loser dies without a burial place." Ning Fengzhi analyzed calmly, "The Tiandou royal family has been passed down for thousands of years. Although there are undercurrents, there has never been such a tragic internal conflict on the surface. The old emperor sought stability all his life, so it is impossible for him to suddenly make such a risky move in his later years."

"So, His Majesty probably just wanted to broaden the horizons of his princes on this voyage. At the same time... he also wanted them to try their luck and see if they could prove themselves."

Gu Rong was even more confused: "Try your luck? Try your luck with what?"

"Uncle Gu, have you forgotten about that Demon God Douluo?" Ning Fengzhi patiently explained, "The Demon God Douluo is now an absolutely crucial figure in the connection between Seagod Island and the Heaven Dou Empire, with an extraordinary status. If any prince manages to catch his eye on Purple Pearl Island this time, even if it's just by forming a good relationship, or even being taken in as a disciple..."

"That would be a tremendous good thing for the entire royal family, and even for that prince's future path to the throne."

Ning Fengzhi sighed, “Your Majesty is casting a wide net. In fact, Your Majesty has tried to subtly probe my intentions before, asking whether Uncle Jian or you would be interested in choosing one of the princes to tutor. But it is clear that neither of you is interested in this matter.”

Gu Rong snorted coldly: "That's for sure."

Previously, Chen Xin was a pure sword fanatic, spending all his time in seclusion comprehending the Dao of the Sword, and disregarding everything else. As for Gu Rong, aside from the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Ning Fengzhi's safety, he had always been indifferent to all conflicts outside of worldly imperial power.

What's more, Ning Fengzhi finally had a precious daughter a few years ago. Since Ning Rongrong was born, the two old men have completely activated their hidden "grandparental affection" attribute, doting on that exquisite little girl all day long, treating her like a precious gem.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly have the leisure to bother with those princes in the royal family who had different thoughts and even full of tricks?

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's analysis, Gu Rong frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "But Fengzhi, that Demon God Douluo's personality is even stranger and more unpredictable than this old bone of mine. How could someone as high and mighty as him suddenly change his ways and take on a royal disciple?"
