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

Hearing this undisguised and brutal threat, Arou took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the chill in her heart.

She stared intently at Nan Feng: "Release Xiao Wu first."

"Okay."

Nan Feng smiled indifferently, raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Wu's pink rabbit head twice, then released his grip on the back of her neck.

Xiao Wu scrambled back into A Rou's arms, burying her face in her mother's embrace and trembling.

Seeing this, Arou was stunned.

Da Ming and Er Ming were also completely taken aback.

That's it? Not even a condition?

"So quick?" Arou couldn't help but blurt out.

"Don't be nervous, and don't overthink it." Nan Feng stood up and stretched comfortably. "As I said, I'm truly sincere about this collaboration."

"After all, I just killed a demonic orca king not long ago."

"You, being beings of the same level, should be able to sense the commotion of a 100,000-year-old soul beast's demise, right?"

Upon hearing this, Arou, Daming, and Erming's expressions changed instantly!

Of course they sensed it.

Not long ago, an extremely violent energy fluctuation at the level of 100,000 years did indeed erupt in the direction outside the Star Dou Great Forest, before it completely dissipated and returned to silence!

Seeing their drastically changed expressions, Nan Feng nodded in satisfaction: "I went through a lot of trouble to cripple that guy from the sea and forcefully bring him back to land to kill him. However, that guy wasn't as lucky as you guys."

"I didn't even give it a chance to speak; I just pulled out its tendons and bones and killed it."

Nan Feng shrugged. "But now, you still have a choice. If you voluntarily sacrifice yourself, there's still a glimmer of hope for the future; otherwise, it's certain death."

"Think about it carefully here. I'm not in a hurry. I have plenty of time to waste with you."

Nan Feng sat back down on the large rock.

"But let me give you a piece of advice: don't even think about trying to split up and escape. When I brought you back just now, I already left spatial marks on you. None of you can escape."

“If I want, I can drag you back anytime, no matter where you hide, just like I did just now.”

Chapter 304 Nan Feng's empty promises, he'll try to seduce the rabbit again a year later.

……

Arou remained silent for a long time, and her wildly beating heart finally calmed down little by little.

She weighed the situation before her; no matter how she looked at it, it was an unreasonable and domineering clause that she couldn't refuse.

Finally, she bit her lip and asked with difficulty:

"If I agree...when do you plan for us to perform the sacrifice?"

Nan Feng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then casually replied:

"It will take at least another ten or twenty years. There's no rush. I need to make some other preparations."

"In other words, if you agree to the deal, you can at least live freely for another ten or twenty years. If you don't agree, then you'll just be crippled by me now and locked up like animals to wait for death."

Upon hearing about the ten or twenty-year buffer period, a glimmer of light flashed in Arou's eyes.

"Will you protect our safety during the time leading up to the sacrifice?"

“Of course.” Nan Feng nodded without hesitation. “As long as you agree to cooperate, you will be an indispensable part of my plan. Whatever you want, even if you just want to live a carefree life in the human world, I can arrange it all for you.”

"The human world?" Arou was stunned.

For a spirit beast to go to the human world is tantamount to a lamb entering a tiger's den.

“That’s right.” Nan Feng smiled and explained, “I now have the identity of a Demon God Douluo from Seagod Island. Seagod Island is different from those Soul Masters on the mainland who talk about hunting Soul Beasts all the time; they don’t have that much hostility towards Soul Beasts.”

"With this identity, I can send you to the Heaven Dou Empire openly and legitimately. Not only will you not be targeted and killed, but you can also live a life of luxury like imperial princesses. Whatever you want, it's just a matter of my word."

Looking at Arou's bewildered and even somewhat tempted expression, Nanfeng succinctly revealed her long-held thoughts:

"You risked being hunted and transformed into human form early simply to scout out the human world for this little rabbit. You planned to let her transform into human form later when you were strong enough to protect herself, right?"

Arou trembled slightly, clearly her deepest vulnerability had been touched.

“But now that I’m here to protect you, you don’t need to hide in mixed zones anymore.”

Nan Feng pointed to Xiao Wu, who was still hiding in A Rou's arms and dared not peek out, his tone full of seduction.

“She can transform into human form right now. Haven’t you two always been curious about the richness and diversity of the human world? I can bring it all to you right now.”

"With me as your backer, you don't need to live in fear, you don't need to worry about survival or hiding, and no foolish soul master would dare to covet your 100,000-year soul ring."

"You just need to relax and enjoy yourself, experiencing everything that interests you. How about it, with these terms offered, aren't you tempted?"

Despite the incredible promise Nan Feng had made, Arou, Daming, and Erming showed little joy.

On the contrary, they looked at Nan Feng with increasingly strange eyes, and even felt a sense of absurdity, as if they had been deceived by a pyramid scheme leader.

This guy... is he sure he's not just fooling them?

Seeing the suspicion in the eyes of these soul beasts, Nan Feng sighed helplessly:

"Please, everyone, can't you be a little more logical? What I really want is your lives."

"Since I'm going to take your lives anyway, isn't it only right that I fulfill all your wishes and give you everything you want within my power?"

Nan Feng shrugged, his tone very sincere:

"Besides, I don't want to resort to violence if I can avoid it. Fighting and killing only damages harmony. I sincerely hope you can offer your sacrifices honestly and willingly. Wouldn't it be better if everyone could have dignity and be happy?"

"I'm here to discuss cooperation with you, not to force you."

Nan Feng's gaze swept over A Rou. "As long as you agree to cooperate, you are my friends. I'm always very generous and easy to talk to when it comes to friends."

He paused slightly at this point, a glint of something unsettling flashing in his eyes.

"Of course, if you refuse, then you are not my friend."

"So?" Nan Feng smiled slightly. "Now, would you like to be my friend?"

Faced with this blatant threat of "either we're friends or we're dead," Arou took a deep breath, suppressing the pounding in her heart, and cautiously probed:

"This is a huge matter... Could you give me a little more time to think about it?"

“Of course.” Nan Feng nodded without hesitation. “I’ll give you time to think it over. How about this… I’ll come back to you for an answer in a year.”

Upon hearing this, Arou, Daming, and Erming were all stunned.

Several soul beasts stared at him with completely bewildered expressions.

A year?!

Arou was prepared for the other party to turn against her, so she boldly spoke up, hoping to delay for a day or two at most so she could discuss a strategy with Daming and Erming.

And then this guy opened his mouth... and gave me a year?!

Seeing their bewildered expressions, Nan Feng shrugged indifferently:

“I told you, I’m not in a hurry. After all, this matter concerns your lives and fortunes; it’s a truly life-altering event, so we have to be cautious and it’s not unreasonable to take more time to think it over.”

"Let's leave it at that for now. You can stay here and think it over. I'll come back in a year."

As he spoke, Nan Feng strode forward.

Before Arou could react, he scooped up Xiaowu from the ground, buried his face in the soft pink and white rabbit fur, and took another deep breath.

"It feels really good."

Nan Feng patted Xiao Wu's stiff, frightened rabbit head with satisfaction, then tossed a delicate storage soul tool into A Rou's hand.

"There are some little trinkets inside; consider it a small gift for my friend."

"Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding silver-gray light flashed in the space.

Nan Feng's figure vanished into thin air, as if he had never been there at all.

A gentle breeze blows across the Lake of Life.

The silence lingered on the shores of the Lake of Life for a long time until the spatial fluctuations left by Nan Feng completely dissipated, at which point the soul beasts finally awoke as if from a dream.

Titan Ape Erming scratched his head, breaking the silence in a muffled voice, his yellowish-brown eyes filled with clear suspicion:

"Big brother, Aunt Rou... is this guy really not trying to fool us?"

Erming glanced at the storage soul tool in Arou's hand, his tone full of conflict:

"Who would force someone to die, offer a gift, and even give them a whole year to consider it? This doesn't seem like a decent villain at all."

"Not like."

The enormous head of the Azure Bull Python slowly shook, and its eyes, which were like azure lanterns, were filled not with any ease, but with an unprecedented heaviness.

"The fact that he dared to leave so easily, and even casually gave a one-year deadline, precisely shows that he has absolute confidence in his own abilities."

Da Ming exhaled a breath of stale air and analyzed in a deep voice,

"If he keeps pressing us today, demanding a quick and decisive answer from us immediately, then it means he's not absolutely certain and is afraid that things might change if we delay."

"But he gave us plenty of space without saying a single harsh word. This is enough to prove that he was serious about everything he said just now."

"Because he is certain that the spatial imprint on us cannot be erased. A year from now, no matter where we run off to, he will be able to bring us back as easily as he can today."

Upon hearing Da Ming's analysis, Er Ming was speechless, his anger burning inside him with nowhere to vent it.

"However, things like sacrifices..."

Da Ming hesitated, then turned to look at A Rou beside him.

Arou held Xiaowu, who was still trembling in her arms, tightly, and glanced down at the exquisite storage soul tool in her hand, her eyes shifting uncertainly.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and confusion in her eyes.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Arou gave a bitter smile and reached out to rub Xiaowu's ear. "In any case, this outcome is much better than having his arms and legs broken, being dragged back, and locked in a dark cage to wait for death today."
