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

"As soon as we landed on the island, we were invited to the main hall of the governor's mansion. There, we met this unfamiliar and unfathomable Demon God Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi recalled the scene at the time, "Moreover, he was accompanied by two top experts from Seagod Island."

"It is said that one of them is the Sea Maiden Douluo, one of the seven guardians of the Seagod Island; while the other is Xiaobai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, a 100,000-year-old transformed sea spirit beast! Legend has it that she was Poseidon's mount in the mortal world before his ascension, and is also the guardian beast of the entire Seagod Island!"

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form? A mount of the Sea God?!" Emperor Xueye gasped, his awe of Sea God Island rising to a new level.

Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile: "These aren't the most fatal flaws. The most crucial thing is that the Sea Maiden Douluo comes from the mermaid race, and she possesses a rare and terrifying talent: mind reading!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's heart clenched and his pupils dilated sharply.

Mind reading?!

As an emperor, he knew all too well what this ability meant.

This ability to see through all pretense and conspiracy, when it appears at the treacherous political negotiation table, is simply a terrifying existence, like a dimensional reduction attack!

“At the beginning of the negotiations, we did not know that the other party possessed mind-reading abilities,” Ning Fengzhi sighed. “Therefore, at the first contact… our Heavenly Dou delegation left a very bad impression on them.”

Emperor Xueye's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? Did Qinghe do something careless and cause trouble?"

“His Highness the First Prince has acted with composure and has not overstepped any bounds.” Ning Fengzhi shook his head, then reported truthfully, “It was the Second Prince and the Third Prince.”

"At the time, Demon God Douluo casually asked why only three of the four princes of the Heaven Dou royal family had come. The Second Prince, eager to impress the other party, interrupted and publicly revealed the Fourth Prince Xue Beng's youth, unruly nature, and inability to endure hardship..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye felt a deep sense of helplessness and disappointment.

“Luo Chuan… has indeed been spoiled too much by the Empress and me.”

Emperor Xueye was heartbroken. "How could he speak so rashly and carelessly on such a solemn occasion concerning the fate of the empire? He even revealed his own brother's secrets in front of outsiders. Isn't he just making a fool of our Heavenly Dou Royal Family for everyone to see?!"

"I also reprimanded the Second Prince in the same way afterward." Ning Fengzhi nodded, but then his tone became even more subdued. "However, Your Majesty... the reason why Seagod Island has such a bad impression of us is not because of the Second Prince, but because of... the Third Prince."

"Hai Zang?" Emperor Xue Ye was stunned. Although his son had just died, it concerned the life and death of the empire, so he could only suppress his grief and ask, "What exactly did he do?"

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath: "When the Third Prince saw that the Sea Maiden Douluo and that 100,000-year-old soul beast Xiaobai were both incredibly beautiful and exotic sea creatures, he was momentarily bewitched... and a filthy desire and lust arose in his heart."

"Your Majesty, don't forget, that Sea Maiden Douluo possesses the ability to read minds!"

Ning Fengzhi looked directly into Emperor Xueye's eyes, "Your Majesty should be able to imagine what a fatal offense it would be if the other party could read out all the disgusting images in the Third Prince's mind?"

Emperor Xueye's expression froze instantly, his face turning pale and then red, and a layer of cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

But he still maintained his imperial dignity and gritted his teeth to argue, "Haicang... he is young and impetuous, inexperienced in worldly affairs. As a peak Douluo, he should be broad-minded and not really stoop to the level of a junior, right?"

"Your Majesty, if it were merely an offense against two powerful figures, there might still be room for maneuver."

Ning Fengzhi's tone was slightly cold, "But what if that Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiaobai... have a close relationship with that decisive Demon God Douluo?"

Emperor Xueye suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean by that?"

"Back in the hall, the Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiao Bai had intimate physical contact and interaction with the Demon God Douluo right in front of us. If nothing unexpected happens, those two powerful women are most likely the Demon God Douluo's partners."

Ning Fengzhi said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty can imagine that the Third Prince was fantasizing about his women in front of a demon god who could instantly kill two titled Douluo, and the demon god could hear him clearly... Just how bad was the first impression the Third Prince left on the demon god, and even the impression that the entire Heaven Dou royal family left on the demon god?"

"hiss--"

Emperor Xueye felt a chill run down his spine, and a coldness that shot straight to the top of his head made him tremble all over.

He finally had nothing left to say.

If that was indeed the case, the fact that the other party didn't immediately turn on them in the lobby and slaughter them all to feed the sharks shows that they had already done more than enough and exercised extreme restraint!

"Fortunately, the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, is calm and reserved by nature, and left a fairly good impression on the other party."

Ning Fengzhi didn't deliberately praise Xue Qinghe's abilities; instead, he stated it in an objective tone.

"After my two younger brothers caused a great disaster, it was thanks to His Highness the First Prince's courage that he did not back down. During the days on the island, he repeatedly went to see the Demon God Douluo privately despite the pressure, trying his best to apologize. The other party did not pursue the matter further because of His Highness the First Prince's sincere attitude."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed slightly.

"Qinghe is a bit dull and reserved, unlike his two younger brothers who are clever and quick-witted."

A complex sense of relief flashed in Emperor Xueye's eyes. "Fortunately, he is kind and honest, and doesn't have many scheming thoughts about power and profit. In this major disaster that offended people, his kind-hearted nature has inadvertently saved our Heavenly Dou Empire!"

After Chapter 261, I will never use Bibi Dong's face again.

……

Ning Fengzhi lowered his eyelids slightly, perfectly concealing the glint in his eyes. He subtly changed the subject and continued his report:

"Subsequently, the Seagod Island side also revealed their true intentions to us. They are willing to give our Heavenly Dou Empire five years to develop Purple Pearl Island."

"For the next five years, the Heaven Dou Empire can exclusively enjoy all the development cooperation and maritime trade benefits of Purple Pearl Island. However, after five years, they will need the cooperation of our Heaven Dou Empire to actively bring the Star Luo Empire into this game and cooperate with it."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "With their absolute military power and the right to speak, they are actually willing to give us five years of exclusive benefits for free? This High Priest of Seagod Island, Poseidon, is truly benevolent and magnanimous!"

Whether it's the commercial value of Purple Pearl Island itself, which is comparable to a gold mine, or its strategic value in restraining the Spirit Hall, both require the collaboration of the two major empires on the continent to maximize their benefits.

The fact that the other party is willing to concede for five years is already an immense favor.

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement.

Immediately, his expression turned serious, and he put forward his strategic plan:

"Your Majesty, although the ambush yesterday was heartbreaking, from the perspective of the overall situation... this may not be a golden opportunity!"

Emperor Xueye frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that, Sect Master Ning?"

"Although Seagod Island is powerful, its strength is very vague to the many forces on the continent. Everyone knows that the Spirit Hall suffered a great loss there in the past, but no one knows the specific strength of Seagod Island."

Ning Fengzhi said seriously, "And this time, the Demon God Douluo took action and swiftly killed two elders and many elites of the Spirit Hall. This is the best touchstone!"

"For the sake of temporary stability on the mainland, our royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally cannot openly publicize this matter. However, we can secretly release the news of the two Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall falling in the coastal region through various channels!"

"As long as the world, especially the Star Luo Empire, clearly understands just how terrifying the power of Seagod Island truly is! Then in the future..."

"We don't even need to beg; the Star Luo Empire will definitely be scrambling to get involved in Purple Pearl Island!"

"By then, our Heavenly Dou Empire, with its five-year head start and the long-standing relationship with Seagod Island, can seize the opportunity to gain an absolute upper hand in the negotiations between the two countries!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye's eyes gradually brightened. He pondered seriously for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Sect Leader Ning is right. This is indeed a brilliant move."

But as soon as he finished speaking, a strong sense of weakness and the pain of losing his son surged into his heart again, and the old emperor wearily waved his hand.

"But... with the third prince just gone, my old bones are really starting to give out. I need to rest properly."

"Let's discuss the specific plans and details another day. It's good that the Spirit Hall has lost such a large number of elites, so let's put this matter aside for now and see how Spirit City reacts."

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi said no more and bowed in greeting.

"Your Majesty, please take your leave. Please accept this loss with care and take good care of your health."

……

On the other side, in Wuhun City.

As night falls, the solemn and majestic Papal Palace appears exceptionally awe-inspiring under the moonlight.

With a subtle spatial fluctuation, Nan Feng silently returned to the center of power on this continent.

However, this time he didn't wear the "Demon God Douluo" face, but instead transformed back into Bibi Dong's appearance.

After all, Nanfeng didn't think it was worth getting worked up over such trivial details that could easily backfire, and there was no need to create trouble for himself unnecessarily.

Avoiding all the sentries, Nan Feng went straight to the government affairs office in the rear hall.

Pushing open the heavy, carved wooden door, one enters the brightly lit, spacious government affairs hall.

The real Bibi Dong was sitting alone behind a large golden nanmu desk, holding a vermilion brush, reviewing the mountain of documents.

"They're all dead."

Nan Feng pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the desk.

Upon hearing the sound, Bibi Dong stopped writing with her vermilion brush.

She looked up and examined the "clone" bearing her appearance with great interest.

"I remember someone making such a confident statement just a few days ago..."

Bibi Dong put down her pen, rested her chin on her hands, and smiled slightly. "From now on, I'll be using that man's appearance. I absolutely refuse to use my face anymore. Why did you change back today?"

"..."

Faced with the woman's slightly mocking sarcasm, Nan Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, speechless for a moment.

"The Demon God Douluo just beheaded two Title Douluos at the docks of Hanhai City, in front of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family."

Nan Feng snorted coldly, "That name and that face will probably become famous throughout the entire continent by stepping on the corpses of the Spirit Hall."

"What do you think would happen if I walked right into the gates of Spirit City with that face right now?"

Bibi Dong chuckled, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes: "I thought that with your lawless personality, you wouldn't care about these troubles at all."

"I'm not afraid of trouble, but I hate pointless stupidity."

Nan Feng decisively chose to skip this boring topic of changing faces and steered the conversation back on track, "With the Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard dead, the Elders' Hall is completely terrified and will definitely not dare to make any big moves in the short term. But..."

"After the Heaven Dou Empire returns, they will definitely spare no effort to secretly spread the news of the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo Hai Jiang's fall, in order to enhance the deterrent power of Seagod Island. You must be prepared for this in advance."

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed. "You mean, you want me to step forward and clarify?"

"No. Don't make any official response; the more you explain, the worse it will get."

Nan Feng offered the perfect crisis management strategy: "You just need to arrange for a few trusted confidants who can't keep their mouths shut to quietly spread the word in Wuhun City that Elders Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard haven't shown up in the Elder Hall for a long time and haven't sent back any messages. Their whereabouts are a mystery."

"As long as you don't admit it, it's a Rashomon-like situation. Let the world guess for itself."

After listening to Nan Feng's arrangements, Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully, but her brows were still slightly furrowed: "Using others to do the dirty work, openly eliminating dissidents... Doing things so ruthlessly, does that old guy Qian Daoliu really not react at all?"

"will not."

Nan Feng shook his head. "That old codger Qian Daoliu pretends to be compassionate and devoted to the greater good of the Spirit Hall, but in reality, he is selfish to the extreme!"

“In his eyes, only things that touch upon the core heritage and absolute interests of the Angel Family can truly move him.”

"Let alone the deaths of those two treacherous outsiders, Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard, even if those so-called old brothers in the Hall of Worship died today, or were even killed on the spot by you... for Qian Renxue's future, he would endure it!"

"To put it bluntly, the cost of turning against you now is too high. The people who died are not worth the risk."

"Moreover, if he were to come out now and turn against you, or even hold you accountable, it would be tantamount to admitting to the whole world that the Spirit Hall sent the Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard to attack the Heaven Dou Royal Family! The reputation that the Spirit Hall has worked so hard to improve over the past few years would instantly be plunged into an irrecoverable predicament!"

"If you get pushed to the limit and just quit, that would be the biggest joke in the Soul Master world!"
