"And what surprised me most was that her disguise was absolutely flawless!" The Sea Maiden Douluo exclaimed with lingering fear. "I just observed her carefully, and there wasn't a single flaw in her skeletal structure, Adam's apple, or the masculine soul power fluctuations! If I hadn't been born with the ability to read minds and heard her thoughts directly, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell that she was a woman at all!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo looked at Nan Feng and tentatively asked, "This kind of heaven-defying disguise ability that can even deceive a Title Douluo... could it be an extremely rare 100,000-year-old disguise-type head soul bone?"
“This matter is very complicated and troublesome.” Nan Feng said with some helplessness, “If you really can’t suppress your curiosity, you can find an opportunity to personally contact this ‘Crown Prince’. With your all-pervasive mind-reading ability and the skill of getting information out of her, you will definitely be able to get the shocking truth behind her.”
“However…” Nan Feng gave her a meaningful look, giving her a heads-up beforehand, “When you find out the truth, you’d better be a little more composed and don’t let yourself get so scared that you lose your composure in public.”
Hearing Nan Feng's evasive words, the gossip fire in the Sea Maiden Douluo's heart not only did not go out, but burned even more fiercely.
She stared at Nan Feng's handsome face, which always seemed to exude a hint of wickedness. Her gaze gradually turned strange, and she even couldn't help but take a half step back, scrutinizing him with a suspicious look.
"I now seriously suspect... that you might have some kind of despicable, perverted hidden fetish deep down?"
"What do you mean by this quirk?" Nan Feng frowned.
"I just love collecting beautiful and promising female disciples from all over the place, and then playing a nurturing game with them!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo counted on her fingers, speaking with righteous indignation: "Look at you! That eldest princess calls you 'teacher' all the time, and even gets jealous of other women for you; that Purple Pearl was also a disciple you personally taught, and what's the result? Her head is full of rebellious and lewd nonsense about you!"
"One or two would be one thing, but all the female disciples you've taught have impure thoughts about you! If you said that you didn't have any problems when you were acting as their 'teacher,' and didn't deliberately flirt with and guide them behind their backs... no one would believe that!"
Nan Feng's face immediately darkened, and he retorted irritably, "Can you stop judging others by your own standards? Do I look like the kind of beast who would have dirty thoughts about children?!"
"That's hard to say!" The Sea Maiden Douluo retorted loudly without backing down, "After all, you even dared to tease and scheme against the High Priest without restraint! In this world, what is there that someone as unscrupulous as you wouldn't do?"
"not to mention……"
The Sea Maiden Douluo suddenly changed the subject, pulling over Xiao Bai who was still watching the show, and the two hugged tightly. The Sea Maiden Douluo adopted a trembling, pitiful look, tearfully accusing Xiao Bai:
"Just now on the beach, you clearly made inappropriate advances towards me and Xiaobai, two delicate girls! You're a beast!"
Nan Feng was so angry he laughed.
"Fine, fine, fine! I'm a beast! I'm a pervert! I'm scum!"
"Don't forget, my true form is an ancient spider that has lived for 100,000 years! Aren't spiders a kind of beast? What's wrong with me being a little beastly?"
"Besides, it's like you're not beasts."
Chapter 218 I was busy peeling shrimp and feeling jealous, while my younger brother was busy daydreaming.
……
The next morning.
Out of respect for the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Purple Pearl personally acted as a tour guide, leading the princes on a tour of the core area of Purple Pearl Island.
After Ning Fengzhi's stern reprimand and lesson yesterday, these princes, who are usually aloof and arrogant, were all relatively well-behaved on the surface today and did not make any more foolish mistakes by interrupting in public.
However, some things are ingrained in one's bones and cannot be hidden no matter how hard one tries. For example, even the youngest prince, Xue Haicang, still has eyes that occasionally wander uncontrollably.
His gaze was almost entirely fixed on Purple Pearl, who was walking at the front.
It must be said that Purple Pearl's unique temperament had a tremendous impact on these young princes who grew up in the deep palace.
She already possesses an extremely hot and sexy figure, and coupled with the wildness and sassiness unique to the sea that she had as a former pirate captain, it blends perfectly with the restraint she now exudes in her high position.
This wild and exotic charm is something you'd never see on the strictly regulated land of Tiandou City, where everyone is a lady from a respectable family.
Xue Haicang was an exceptionally talented genius who was treated like a star in the royal family from a young age due to his outstanding talent in martial spirit cultivation.
Because he revered the strong in the Soul Master world, he had long since lost interest in the delicate and frail noble ladies in Heaven Dou City who could barely walk.
A woman like Purple Pearl, who is not only powerful but also exudes a wild and conquering spirit, is irresistibly attractive to him.
As for the other two princes, their minds were not on this at all.
Needless to say, the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, was beautiful. As for Qian Renxue, who was already a stunning woman beneath her skin, she didn't feel the same awe or covetousness a man might have when looking at Zi Zhenzhu. All she felt was a growing sense of displeasure and bitterness.
Watching Zi Zhenzhu keep saying "the rules were set by my teacher," Xue Qinghe maintained a gentle smile on the surface, but inwardly he sneered: So this is the precious disciple that Nan Feng personally taught for a whole year on this wretched island? Ha, apart from her exaggerated figure, I don't see anything special about her!
The Second Prince, Xue Luochuan, was still preoccupied with Ning Fengzhi's scathing reprimands from the previous day. His expression remained tense throughout the journey, his mind preoccupied with how to salvage his image of brilliance and wisdom in front of Ning Fengzhi and the "Demon God Douluo." He had no interest in appreciating Purple Pearl's beauty, nor did he pay much attention to the island's strategically important defenses and port construction.
Although Purple Pearl, who was walking in front, seemed casual, as a pirate captain who had been living on the edge of death for many years, how keen was her perception of people's hearts? She could naturally sense that these princes were absent-minded, or even had their own ulterior motives.
So, Purple Pearl didn't bother with any more hospitality. She led the group on a leisurely stroll along the island's main road for the morning, and around noon, she took them directly back to the VIP reception area.
"Your Highnesses, this is a general overview of the island's scenery." Purple Pearl pointed to the large table laden with top-quality seafood prepared in the hall, and smiled perfunctorily. "As the island's lord, I have many military and political affairs to attend to, so I cannot accompany you for long. Please enjoy your meal first. If you are interested in any other places this afternoon, I will have Adjutant John continue to show you around."
After saying that, Purple Pearl nodded cleanly and decisively, then turned around and strode away from the hall without leaving a single extra polite word.
In the blink of an eye, only the three princes remained in the spacious reception hall, sitting in front of a table full of seafood.
Seeing Zi Zhenzhu's perfunctory and even somewhat indifferent attitude, the Second Prince Xue Luochuan frowned, a feeling of being slighted rising in his heart. However, because he had just been reprimanded by Ning Fengzhi yesterday, he forced back his anger, simply picked up his chopsticks with a sullen face, and silently poked at the food on his plate.
Xue Qinghe slowly peeled a shrimp, seemingly enjoying the food, but his brain was working at lightning speed, trying to come up with a plausible reason that wouldn't arouse suspicion from the other two, so he could sneak out alone to meet Nan Feng.
The youngest prince, Xue Haicang, held his wine cup, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction where Zi Zhenzhu had left at the entrance of the hall, a haughty smile playing on his lips.
He was already planning in his mind what methods he should use in the next few days to get this wild, rouge-colored horse to notice him, the gifted imperial prince.
Moreover, as his thoughts wandered, Xue Haicang unconsciously recalled the images of the Sea Maiden Douluo and the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai that he had seen in the hall yesterday.
One is a mermaid with a dreamy fish tail, and the other is a ferocious soul beast that has transformed into human form. In Xue Haicang's mind, which was steeped in imperial power since childhood and regarded all things as private property, he had instinctively regarded these two non-human, stunningly beautiful women as extremely rare, top-level "playthings" that could be conquered and collected.
Even though he knew perfectly well that the other party was a high-ranking Title Douluo and a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and that there was a huge gap in absolute strength, he still couldn't suppress the secret and crazy fantasies in his heart.
He secretly vowed in his heart: when he inherits the throne and achieves mastery of his martial spirit, becoming the strongest person in the world, he will definitely get his hands on these two exquisite beauties!
He's already starting to think about whether there are any covert ways to leverage the immense power and resources of the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family, or some underhanded and shady methods, to preemptively influence this matter...
While the three were having a quiet meal in the reception hall, each with their own thoughts, they had no idea that the Sea Maiden Douluo was hiding in the shadows outside the hall, observing everything that was happening inside.
Thanks to the merfolk's unparalleled talent for mind reading, the Third Prince Xue Haicang could clearly hear the lewd, dark, and unrestrained thoughts in her mind, as if they were being read aloud through a megaphone.
Sensing that this kid was actually plotting how to use those unscrupulous tricks to get her and Xiaobai into bed as playthings, the Sea Maiden Douluo clenched her fists in anger, her azure eyes surging with murderous intent, and she almost couldn't help but rush in and strangle him on the spot.
He's just a little kid!
They haven't even grown up yet, and their minds are filled with nothing but these disgusting, filthy things and insidious schemes!
Such a person is a madman with no bottom line at heart. If someone like him were to gain power and ascend the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, the things he would do would be a hundred times more heinous and outrageous than those of Qian Xunji, who controlled the Spirit Hall back then!
Despite her anger, the Sea Maiden Douluo took two deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the murderous intent in her heart.
After all, the other party was a legitimate prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire. If she were to kill him here just for a few disgusting words, it would have a terrible impact and could even disrupt the High Priest and Nan Feng's plans.
If she can't afford to offend her, can't she at least avoid her? The Sea Maiden Douluo decisively severed her mind-reading connection with Xue Haicang; if she listened any longer, she feared she might really lose control and kill someone.
With the Third Prince, whose mind was full of thieves and prostitutes, as a comparison, when the Sea Maiden Douluo turned to sense the Second Prince Xue Luochuan's thoughts, she suddenly found him much more agreeable.
Although the second prince was full of ambition and vanity, and was frowning as he thought about how to salvage his image, his pure, foolish thoughts seemed rather "cute" and harmless in comparison.
However, she didn't come here today to see those two idiots.
Her real target was that "eldest prince".
Chapter 219 Just how many disciples have you been keeping outside?!
……
Taking a deep breath, the Sea Maiden Douluo silently vanished, appearing like a ghost directly behind Xue Qinghe. She extended her fair fingers and gently patted Xue Qinghe's head.
"Snapped."
The sudden touch made Xue Qinghe stiffen. He instantly snapped back to reality and turned his head, only to be met with the stunningly beautiful face of the Sea Maiden Douluo right in front of him.
Looking into the Sea Maiden Douluo's deep eyes, which seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, as if she had seen through all the pretense, Xue Qinghe's heart skipped a beat.
In that instant, she almost had the illusion that her greatest secret had been completely exposed, and instinctively felt a violent panic.
But her strong mental fortitude honed through years of lying low allowed her to quickly regain her composure. She swiftly composed herself, stood up, and maintained the refined demeanor of the eldest prince of the Heavenly Dou royal family, offering a respectful bow: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Sea Maiden Douluo."
Upon seeing this, the other two princes, who were eating, were also startled. They quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up in awe, and followed suit in bowing.
The Sea Maiden Douluo waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, no need to be so formal. I'm not here to see you."
As she spoke, her gaze locked onto Xue Qinghe, and she asked with a smile, "I came here specifically to see His Highness the First Prince. Is Your Highness available now? Would you be interested in going for a walk with me?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe frowned almost imperceptibly, instinctively wanting to refuse. After all, given his current status and being on the territory of the Seagod Island forces, his every move represented the Heaven Dou Empire, and it was really inappropriate for him to go out and wander around alone with a Title Douluo.
"Your Majesty's invitation is one that Qinghe should not refuse. However..."
Xue Qinghe was about to use some diplomatic language to politely decline when the Sea Maiden Douluo, as if she had expected it, leaned closer and said, "Nan Feng has something to say to you."
Upon hearing the name, Xue Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly, and the polite refusal that was on the tip of his tongue was instantly swallowed back.
“In that case, Qinghe will respectfully comply.” Xue Qinghe turned around and said to his two younger brothers, who were looking on in astonishment, “Second brother, third brother, you two have your meal first. I will go out with His Majesty.”
After saying that, he followed behind the Sea Maiden Douluo and quickly walked out of the reception hall.
However, Xue Qinghe had no idea that his seemingly helpless action would stir up such a storm in the hearts of the remaining two princes!
This instantly ignited their jealousy to the max!
Xue Luochuan stared blankly at Xue Qinghe's departing figure, his hands clenched into fists.
He was publicly scolded by Ning Fengzhi yesterday for his slip of the tongue, and today he is racking his brains to figure out how to salvage his image and score in front of the Demon God Douluo.
And the result?!
Before they could even come up with a solution, that Demon God Douluo had already sent someone to call Xue Qinghe away alone?!
What does this mean? It means that the forces of Poseidon Island have set their sights on him, their elder brother who has always kept a low profile!
The youngest prince, Xue Haicang, was so angry that his facial features were contorted.
He stared intently at the swaying figure of the Sea Maiden Douluo, his eyes filled with extreme resentment and anger. He couldn't understand what was so good about his dull-witted, unromantic, good-for-nothing older brother!
Why would that stunningly beautiful mermaid titled Douluo be interested in that piece of wood, and even personally come to invite him for a walk?!
For a moment, in the empty hall, the two princes remained silent, but the almost tangible hostility in their eyes had completely locked onto Xue Qinghe.
……
On the other side, Xue Qinghe was quickly following behind the Sea Maiden Douluo, completely unaware that her act of leaving had already incurred the deep resentment of her two younger brothers in the hall.
At this moment, her mind was racing, thinking about what kind of opening line she should use to get to the point when she met Nan Feng.
In particular, she needed to find out exactly how Nan Feng had gotten involved with Seagod Island!
That's Poseidon Island, which almost never interacts with the mainland! What kind of sweet talk did he use to even manage to trick their guardian pillar and the island's guardian beast, which has lived for 100,000 years, into coming to this wretched island?
Furthermore, what exactly is the illicit relationship between him and these two stunningly beautiful women from other races?
