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

As she spoke, she turned her head and winked at Xiaobai on the other side.

As a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast in human form, Xiaobai was usually a bit naive in matters of social etiquette, but she possessed a beast-like intuition in such situations. She understood immediately and gave an "oh," then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Nanfeng's right cheek before he could react.

Then, the two of them walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing, as they left the hall.

Chapter 237 Nan Feng: A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Third Prince: Waaah, but I'm judging by my pee!

……

However, as the Ama and Shiro left, the atmosphere in the hall did not develop into any pink gossip because of this erotic scene. Instead, it instantly plummeted to a suffocatingly cold point!

The atmosphere in the hall completely changed!

It was no longer just a feeling of oppression, but an extremely terrifying tension, even carrying a strong sense of death!

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong almost stopped breathing at that moment. They stared at Nan Feng in the main seat with fear in their eyes, feeling a chill that shot from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, freezing their entire bodies instantly.

Look at the unabashedly intimate actions between the Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiao Bai when they left! And combine that with the "High Priest's private matter" mentioned earlier!

This clearly sends an extremely terrifying signal: the relationship between these two top experts from Seagod Island and the Demon God Douluo before them is definitely not shallow! In a sense, they are even this Demon God's people!

The words left by the Sea Maiden Douluo before she left, "I won't get involved in what happens next," were a death warrant! This was tantamount to handing over all the previous offenses and grudges to Nan Feng, the "real culprit," to settle!

Ning Fengzhi stiffly turned his neck and looked down into the corner.

At this moment, the Third Prince, Xue Haicang, was slumped in his chair like a lump of mud. His lips were bluish-purple, and his whole body was trembling violently as if he had malaria. A faint smell of urine even began to permeate the air.

Just a few days ago, this fool, oblivious to his own mortality, actually had those extremely lewd, filthy, and even malicious thoughts about these two Title Douluos who were so close to the Demon God Douluo! And what's worse, these dirty thoughts were heard clearly by someone using mind-reading abilities!

In this dog-eat-dog world, to covet and insult the female relatives of a peerless powerhouse is an unforgivable crime punishable by death!

Will this third prince, who has gone to such extremes of courting death, be able to walk out of this hall alive today?

The air in the hall seemed to solidify, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts.

Sitting in the main seat, Nan Feng touched the faint water stains remaining on his cheeks, his brows furrowing slightly. He couldn't understand what was wrong with the sea woman and Xiao Bai.

Even if it was to demonstrate his extremely close relationship with Seagod Island to the Heavenly Dou Empire and thereby increase his absolute authority on Purple Pearl Island, was it really necessary to use such a... public "sovereignty declaration" style of eroticism? Where did these two clowns learn this kind of acting?

However, when Nan Feng's gaze swept over Ning Fengzhi, who was sweating profusely below, and then landed on the Third Prince Xue Haicang, who was trembling like a leaf, almost scared out of his wits, he instantly realized what was happening.

It turned out to be the case.

The female diver is using this as an excuse to pass the buck and make him deal with this hot potato.

After all, the filthy thoughts in the Third Prince's mind were indeed extremely offensive, but if the Sea Maiden really slapped the prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire to death on Purple Pearl Island because of a bad mood, then the hard-won cooperative relationship would definitely be severely impacted.

Although the female divers may seem a bit eccentric at times, they wouldn't be so willful as to disregard the bigger picture when faced with matters of great importance.

Passing the buck to Nan Feng, who is "fully responsible and in control of the overall situation," is undoubtedly the most suitable and maximizing option.

"call……"

Having figured this out, Nan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

He slowly surveyed the crowd below, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and said calmly, "Gentlemen, don't be so tense."

Upon hearing these calm words, Ning Fengzhi and the others not only did not relax, but instead tensed up even more.

Nan Feng ignored their reactions, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the Third Prince in the corner, his tone revealing no emotion whatsoever: "Some things... are known to everyone. If I were to act impulsively according to my old temper, I might have just strangled someone to death. After all, what this vast ocean has no shortage of are the rocks where corpses lie."

Upon hearing this, Xue Haizang's eyes rolled back violently, and he nearly fainted.

“However…” Nan Feng changed the subject, “If I were to kill someone so easily just because of some filthy thoughts that haven’t been spoken yet and only remain in my mind, it would be a bit too domineering.”

"A gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions; for in terms of intentions, no one in the world is perfect."

"Young people are proud and ambitious, and it's perfectly normal for them to crave beauty, wealth, and supreme power. After all, what's the difference between someone without desires and a walking corpse?"

“However…” Nan Feng’s tone suddenly turned cold, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall. “A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. The same principle applies to greed for power and beauty. It’s fine to think about it, but if you reach out the wrong hand or misjudge the person… the price is not something anyone can afford to pay.”

"Sect Leader Ning, you agree, right?"

Ning Fengzhi was startled when his name was called. He quickly stood up, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Human desires must be kept in check by reason and rules. Without rules, one is no different from a wild beast."

Although Nan Feng's words seemed to be a casual remark, Ning Fengzhi absolutely dared not take the opportunity to help the two princes get away with it.

He knew all too well what these people in power were thinking. Who knew if this Demon God Douluo was playing the "feigned indifference" trick?

What if he dares to take advantage of the situation and plead for the prince, only to be accused of being "reckless" and slapped to death in the hall?

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi was so sensible, Nan Feng decided not to continue this pointless psychological battle.

He slowly stood up and looked down at the Heavenly Dou Envoy.

"As I just said, given my personal temperament, certain worthless people with filthy minds would never have lived this long."

Nan Feng's gaze swept across Xue Haicang's face like a knife. "However, considering that the Heavenly Dou Empire has indeed invested a great deal of manpower and resources in the early construction of Purple Pearl Island; considering your tangible verification and assistance to the suffering people on this sea... I will not pursue those past offenses and rudeness today."

Upon hearing the words "no further investigation," the air in the hall seemed to instantly circulate again. Xue Haizang collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

"However, Sect Master Ning."

Nan Feng's voice remained cold, "You should really pay attention to the education of these 'young people' in the Heavenly Dou royal family when you get back. After all, I won't always have this good temper."

"Youthful ignorance is never a get-out-of-jail-free card."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and his entourage immediately stood up again and bowed in unison to receive instruction.

In that brief moment of rise and fall, Ning Fengzhi subtly gave Xue Qinghe a wink out of the corner of his eye.

Ning Fengzhi was well aware that although he was the chief envoy of the Heaven Dou Empire and the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was ultimately just an outsider when it came to the discipline of the royal children. For him, an "outsider," to step forward and address the issue of the princes' discipline at this time would be illegitimate and even smack of overstepping his bounds.

As the eldest prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, as the elder brother, should step forward to speak and quell the matter.

Xue Qinghe naturally understood. Suppressing the complex resentment she felt towards Nan Feng, she stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said in a calm and sincere tone:

“Your Majesty the Demon God is so magnanimous, and Qinghe is deeply grateful on behalf of my two younger brothers. My two younger brothers are young and ignorant, and our father has been busy with state affairs all year round, so he has indeed neglected to discipline them. After we return, as the eldest brother, Qinghe will definitely supervise and discipline them more strictly, and never let such absurd things happen again.”

Nan Feng looked down at Xue Qinghe, who was standing with his head bowed and eyes lowered, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly, but he remained noncommittal.

"I have always believed that the environment in which a person lives is the most fundamental source of their character and whether they are good or bad."

Nan Feng said calmly, "If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault; if the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness. If a person makes a mistake, and their elders and family only know how to use 'youthful ignorance' to shirk responsibility and whitewash the situation..."

Nan Feng gave Xue Qinghe a deep look and said meaningfully, "Then I can't help but wonder if your royal family, or even some of your country's high-ranking officials, are, to the core, a kind of nauseating hypocrisy?"

Upon hearing the words "hypocritical and sanctimonious," Xue Qinghe stiffened slightly. She knew, of course, that Nan Feng's words weren't just a warning to the Heavenly Dou royal family, but also a veiled insult to the Angel Family behind her!

"Fortunately..." Nan Feng withdrew his gaze, his tone softening slightly, "His Highness the First Prince is a reasonable and intelligent person, and did not try to fob me off with those empty excuses."

“Since the Crown Prince has promised to discipline them…” Nan Feng turned around and walked towards the back of the hall, “then I will… keep them under control.”

Chapter 238 Nan Feng: I'm a hooligan. Sea Maiden: Coincidentally, we didn't consider you a man either.

……

Stepping out of the council hall, Nanfeng walked through the corridor and soon caught up with the female diver and Shiro, who were holding hands and carefree as they prepared to go to dinner on the garden path.

Without saying a word, Nan Feng stepped forward with a dark face, raised his hand and flicked the foreheads of the two men, giving each of them a crisp flick!

"Ouch!"

"pain!"

The sea maiden and Xiaobai both covered their foreheads, staring at him with wide eyes and resentful expressions.

"Don't do these kinds of things that are easy to misunderstand in the future!" Nan Feng scolded the two culprits impatiently. "You two are so good at taking advantage of others and then just walking away, leaving me with a mess and a lot of trouble to clean up!"

The female diver rubbed her forehead, which had been flicked red, and raised her chin defiantly: "I just gave you a kiss, I didn't do anything else! Besides, didn't you hug us whenever you wanted because you were strong? Why can you hug us, but I can't kiss you back? That's called reciprocity!"

Nan Feng was speechless. "How can that be the same? Just because I'm a hooligan doesn't mean you're all hooligans."

"How is this considered being a hooligan?" the female diver retorted, pursing her lips. "Besides, why are you reacting so strongly? We don't even consider you a man!"

"..."

Nan Feng's expression froze.

Here we go again! This is the second time he's heard almost the exact same thing!

Nan Feng took a deep breath, feeling like he was holding back a mouthful of blood. He completely lost his temper and was too lazy to argue anymore. He turned around with a cold face, quickened his pace without saying a word, and walked forward without looking back.

Watching Nan Feng's almost fleeing figure, Xiao Bai scratched his head and approached the sea maiden with a puzzled look: "What's wrong with him? It was just a kiss on the cheek, right? People on Seagod Island often kiss each other on the cheek when they're happy, why the big reaction?"

The female diver dropped her playful demeanor and watched Nan Feng's retreating figure, a complex mix of understanding and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"It's not because of the kiss itself..."

The female diver sighed and explained softly, "Little White, don't you understand? He instinctively feels panic about anything that isn't entirely under his absolute control."

“He would hug us and deliberately say hurtful things to us because he always held the initiative in his own hands. He knew very well that he was just teasing us, he knew what that action meant, and he knew that it would never have any real consequences.”

The female diver's eyes deepened. "However, when we deviated from the expected path and took the initiative to kiss him, it exceeded his expectations. He couldn't be entirely sure whether this sudden action contained any other emotional meaning, nor could he accurately calculate what uncontrollable impact it might have on him or us."

“This ‘unknown’ that he cannot calculate or control…” the female diver shook her head. “This intense sense of loss of control would make him feel extremely anxious and uneasy.”

Xiao Bai scratched his head, his confusion deepening rather than diminishing: "Why would he do this? Shouldn't the 'unknown' always be exciting and full of anticipation?"

"That's because you've always lived under the protection of Poseidon Island, Little White."

The female divers sighed helplessly, "If the 'unknown' always brings good results, people will naturally look forward to it with great joy, just like a human child opening an unknown birthday present, because they know that what's inside the box is definitely a surprise."

"But what if... the 'unknown' always means deadly danger?"

"If a person is in that dark, dangerous place full of death and scheming for a long time, and is forced to face the pain, betrayal and despair brought by the 'unknown' time and time again... Over time, his expectation of the 'unknown' will be worn away, and what will be left is only deep fear and anxiety."

“Nan Feng once said that he had struggled and fought his way out of the perilous Death Canyon. In that hellish place where killing was everywhere and one could be devoured by their own kind at any moment, he fought his way out and grew into a 100,000-year overlord... The constant vigilance against those unknown dangers has long been etched into his bones and become an inseparable survival instinct.”

The sea woman paused, then said, "Besides, don't forget what his true form is. He's a spider!"

"What is the spider's best hunting method? It is to hide in the shadows and weave a huge and intricate web bit by bit. They are used to sticking any 'unknown' prey that enters their territory firmly to the center of the web, hunting in a way that is absolutely safe and absolutely in control."

"For someone like Nan Feng, his sense of security is built on that invisible spider web woven from calculation and control. If someone suddenly acts out of the ordinary and barges in recklessly, shattering his spider web and completely slipping out of his control... it would be strange if he didn't feel anxious and panicked."

After listening to this insightful analysis, Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully, but then frowned.

“But…” Xiaobai looked at the sea woman with even more confusion, “Since you clearly knew that he would feel out of control and anxious because of this kind of thing, why did you deliberately kiss him and provoke him just now? This… this is not a good idea, is it?”

"If I don't provoke him like this, how can I be completely sure about my suspicions?"

The female diver rolled her eyes at her, but then, as she looked in the direction where Nanfeng had disappeared, her gaze softened.

"Of course, I didn't do it entirely on purpose to tease him. More than that... I wanted to try to slowly change his deeply ingrained unhealthy mindset in this way."
