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

Tang Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his rough hand, turned his head, and looked at Tang San, whose face was full of worry.

"Since he is willing to take you as his apprentice, then you should go with him in three days."

“You can learn a lot from him.”

"As for me..."

Tang Hao turned around and staggered towards the dilapidated wooden bed, leaving Tang San with a hunched back view.

"From now on, you don't need to worry about me anymore."

Chapter 310 Mistress and Daughter

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated. On the back mountain outside Holy Soul Village, Tang San sat cross-legged, facing the rising sun, cultivating the Purple Demon Eye as usual without fail.

As the faint purple aura in the east dissipated, Tang San slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The moment he opened his eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

The black-clad man, who seemed like a ghost, was now standing in front of him, calmly looking at him.

Faced with this unfathomable Title Douluo, Tang San couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

He stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and asked:

"Senior... could you tell me about my father?"

For the past three days, Tang Hao has been unusually silent, even drinking less alcohol, and spending his days just sitting in a daze at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop.

This made Tang San even more uneasy.

Nan Feng crossed his arms and shook his head: "That's your family matter. Since he doesn't want to tell you, I naturally won't overstep my bounds."

Upon hearing this answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in Tang San's eyes. He took a deep breath and continued to ask:

"Then...where are you taking me?"

"Tian Dou City".

"Heaven Dou City?" Tang San was taken aback. "The capital of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

“That’s right.” Nan Feng nodded. “I have some things to do over there recently. Since I’ve taken you in, I’ll naturally bring you over to train you as well.”

Tang San clenched his fists and couldn't help but ask expectantly, "Then... can I bring my dad along?"

Hearing this, Nan Feng raised an eyebrow. "You've asked the wrong person. You shouldn't have come to me."

“If Tang Hao wants to go anywhere, there are very few people in this world who can stop him. If he doesn’t want to leave, it’s no use begging me.”

Tang San fell into a long silence.

A mountain breeze blew by, swirling up a few fallen leaves.

After a long silence, Tang San slowly lowered his head, his voice hoarse yet filled with an unusual stubbornness:

"Senior...then, can I not leave?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Nan Feng's eyes, and he frowned slightly: "Why?"

Tang San lowered his head, staring intently at the soil beneath his feet: "My father is still here. I... don't want to leave him."

In fact, Tang San himself knew that his father treated him very poorly, even terribly, almost like a roadside weed.

But... he is, after all, his father.

In his previous life in the Tang Sect, he was an orphan who had never even seen his parents. He was raised in the outer sect from a young age and made a living by doing odd jobs. He had never experienced what family affection was.

In this life, no matter how cold or terrible his father was to him, at least in this dilapidated blacksmith shop, he still had someone he could call "father".

As long as Tang Hao is still around, he can feel that he still has a "home" and family.

If he were to leave like this, wouldn't he become that helpless orphan again, just like in his previous life?

This is the soft spot that Tang San, in both his lifetimes, least wants to touch.

Seeing Tang San's head bowed, stubborn yet pitiful appearance, Nan Feng's initially impatient gaze softened slightly.

"Fine, if you don't want to leave, I won't force you."

Nan Feng did not get angry as Tang San had expected; instead, his tone became very casual.

As he spoke, Nan Feng casually reached around his waist and tossed a heavy cloth bag into Tang San's arms with a "thud".

The bag was extremely heavy and made a crisp metallic clanging sound; it was indeed a bag full of gold soul coins!

Tang San hurriedly caught the money pouch, looking up in astonishment: "Senior, this..."

"Since you've stayed, take the money and buy some good meat and vegetables to help your frail body recover."

Nan Feng glanced at him and said, "I will come again a year from now, when you are six years old and your martial soul awakens."

"At that time, you can decide whether or not you want to come with me."

The voice just fell.

With a slight spatial fluctuation, Nan Feng's figure once again vanished into thin air amidst the morning mountain breeze.

……

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Starry Sky Forest, Core Area, Lake of Life.

Accompanied by a familiar silver-gray spatial fluctuation, Nan Feng arrived as promised.

As soon as he landed, his gaze fell on what lay ahead.

Compared to a year ago, there is one more unfamiliar face here.

Beside Arou was a little girl with delicate features, who looked only five or six years old and had timid eyes.

Clearly, this is Xiao Wu, who has only recently taken human form.

Behind them, on the calm lake and beside the vast open space, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape remained in their massive beastly forms, their eyes filled with complex emotions as they looked at the suddenly appearing Nan Feng.

"A year has passed."

Nan Feng, hands in his pockets, glanced at the several soul beasts. "How's your decision?"

Arou took a deep breath, stepped forward, and her voice carried a hint of relief and compromise:

“We agree to your conditions. However… Da Ming and Er Ming are not interested in the human world, so they won’t be going with us.”

Over the past year, she has gone to great lengths to suppress Da Ming and Er Ming's urge to fight Nan Feng to the death, and completely extinguished their unrealistic ideas.

If she were all alone, with the pride of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, even knowing it would mean death, she would not hesitate to take the risk.

But she has Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was filled with curiosity and longing for the legendary, colorful human world.

Ten thousand years is too lonely. Even though she is destined to die in the end, she wants her daughter to see the world she is curious about and live as she pleases before her life ends.

This can be considered a death without regrets.

Nan Feng was not surprised to hear this answer.

He nodded, strode forward, squatted down in front of Arou and Xiaowu, and stared directly at the little girl who was hiding behind her mother and only dared to peek out halfway.

"Come here." Nan Feng beckoned to her.

Xiao Wu shrank back in fright, and looked up at her mother beside her with great panic.

Suppressing her unease, Arou gently nudged her daughter's shoulder and nodded.

Xiao Wu then took her first stiff little steps, moving awkwardly to Nan Feng's side, so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.

Nan Feng reached out and cupped her chubby little face in his hands, casually kneading it a couple of times.

"Tsk." Nan Feng looked at her and curled his lips. "To be honest, you're still the same big rabbit you used to be. It's more comfortable to hug you, and you're cuter too."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's pink face instantly turned bright red, and she couldn't help but recall the humiliating scene from a year ago when she was still a rabbit, being held in the arms of this terrifying man and being sucked hard.

"okay."

Nan Feng stood up and patted her head. "Since you've made up your mind, shall we go now?"

“Yes, we… are all ready.” Arou nodded.

"Then let's go." Nan Feng turned around and prepared to use his spatial power.

"and many more!"

Arou suddenly remembered something important and quickly called out to him, looking somewhat troubled.

"Um... what will we do about our identity when we go to the human world?"

"I've heard that people in the human world place great importance on identity and household registration, especially when entering or leaving big cities. We've always lived in the Star Dou Great Forest, and we don't even have half a thing to prove our identity."

"prove?"

Nan Feng was speechless for a moment. "With me here, who do you need to prove anything to? No matter who asks, I can just give them a heads-up. Who dares to investigate me?"

However, at this point, Nan Feng stroked his chin.

After all, Arou and Xiaowu will be living in Tiandou City for a long time in the future. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and problems, it is indeed better to have a legitimate cover identity, which will save a lot of gossip.

"How about this?"

Nan Feng pondered for a moment, "From today onwards, your public identity will be my mistress whom I'm secretly keeping."

He pointed at Arou, then at Xiaowu, who had just transformed:

"As for her... she calls me Dad outside."

The air fell into a deathly silence the moment those words were spoken.

Arou was completely bewildered.

Xiao Wu was completely bewildered.

Even the Azure Bull Python in the Lake of Life behind them, and the Titan Giant Ape beside them, all stared wide-eyed, looking completely bewildered.
