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

And now? Not only did they find them the safest shelter in the entire continent, but they also came to check on them every few days like a worried old father.

If this were some kind of "feigned indifference" scheme, with Nan Feng's strength, taking their lives would be as simple as flicking his finger; there was no need for such elaborate measures.

Looking at Nan Feng's face, A Rou suddenly realized something:

This man, full of killing and scheming, probably longs for a peaceful life filled with human warmth and caring for others deep down.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Nan Feng felt uneasy under A Rou's inexplicably loving gaze, which radiated "maternal radiance," and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"Don't look at me like that! Have you all been infected with some weird virus lately? What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long? Can't you be a little more normal?!"

Arou smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I won't watch anymore."

But the smile and tenderness in her eyes were impossible to hide.

Nan Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly and decisively changed the subject: "Where's Xiao Wu? How's that mischievous rabbit doing lately? Has it caused any trouble?"

The moment Xiao Wu was mentioned, Arou's gentle expression froze, replaced by a deep headache and helplessness.

"This child... she's not just causing trouble, she's completely out of control now!"

Arou rubbed her temples and said with a wry smile, "Didn't you tell her before that she could come to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and act all high and mighty as long as she didn't cause any major trouble? She really took your words as gospel!"

"On her first day of registration, she was a little more restrained. But by the second day, after figuring out the academy's environment, she started openly extorting protection money and acting like a boss in the beginner classes!"

Nan Feng raised an eyebrow, almost laughing: "Those noble scions can submit to her?"

"What can she do if she's not convinced?" Arou sighed. "Don't forget, she has Tang San, her top-notch henchman, by her side!"

"Tang San, although he is a support-type, has strange martial arts skills that he practices, coupled with his abnormal physical strength and reaction speed, making him virtually invincible in close combat. In this academy, apart from the senior Soul Masters and even Soul Venerables, no one in the junior class can match him."

Arou became more and more helpless as she spoke, "In just a few days, Xiaowu, with Tang San's martial arts suppression, has already subdued all the little tyrants in the beginner class, making her the big sister comfortably."

"Furthermore, I am now a legitimate Tiandou-level teacher."

Arou pointed to herself, "With such a blatant and powerful backer like me, even the senior students and teachers who don't like her wouldn't dare to mess with her. This child has completely let loose and gone crazy these past few days."

"That's good." Nan Feng nodded after listening. "Kids should be lively. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. It's shameful to be bullied."

Where is she now?

"She's out playing in the back hills of the academy with her newly recruited gang of followers."

Arou sighed, her voice filled with the weariness of an old mother, "I heard that early this morning, she set up a platform on the back mountain, saying she was going to set rules for her newly recruited underlings."

"What about bowing and greeting Sister Xiaowu when you see her? What about not being allowed to take carrots and snacks from Sister Xiaowu? And what about not allowing anyone to bully the people Sister Xiaowu is protecting..."

Arou shook her head helplessly: "He's exactly like a little tyrant who rules the mountains."

Nan Feng smiled, unconcerned: "If she's happy, let her be. As long as she doesn't cause any unmanageable legal trouble, you don't need to control her too much."

Arou nodded, then asked curiously, "By the way, didn't you say you were going to leave Tiandou City for a while? Why are you back so soon?"

"We encountered some unexpected situations, and things took a bit of a turn for the better." Nan Feng shrugged. "However, overall, things are still developing in a positive direction."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Nan Feng's expression became slightly more serious. "Next, you might have to work a little harder and help me take care of a few more children."

Arou was taken aback: "A child? Whose child is it?"

"They're kind of...family members of my mother's family." Nan Feng stroked his chin, talking nonsense with a straight face. "They're all soul beasts. However, their actual age is much older than you and your daughter combined. Of course, I've sealed them all away using special methods, so from their bodies to their strength, they look like a few six or seven-year-old girls."

Arou's eyes twitched as she listened. "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were going out to take care of important business?"

"It's nothing, just making some new friends, adding a bit of spice to life," Nan Feng casually brushed it off. "Since Xiao Wu is still the mountain queen in the back mountains, I won't go to call her. You can tell her tomorrow. I'll head back now..."

"mom!"

Before Nan Feng could finish speaking, a clear and urgent child's voice came from afar.

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Wu ran in, panting.

However, when she saw the figure sitting opposite Arou, Xiaowu, who was so energetic just a second ago, suddenly became obedient and docile, as if the pause button had been pressed.

"Dad... Dad, you're here too." Xiao Wu called out timidly, her eyes darting around.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Nan Feng asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic? What happened?"

Xiao Wu swallowed hard and pointed towards the back mountain outside the door: "Xiao San got into a fight with a woman who plays with poison! That guy couldn't beat Xiao San, and she even broke his poison technique. As a result, she got angry and said she would call her parents. She even threatened us by saying that her grandfather is a titled Douluo!"

Nan Feng raised an eyebrow: "Title Douluo? Dugu Bo? And that woman's name is Dugu Yan?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, her face full of surprise: "How did you know?"

"I'll go take a look."

Nan Feng offered no explanation and strode towards the door.

Chapter 347 An Overly Complex Family Background: Apprentice, Mistress, and Stepfather

……

hum!

The next second, the space rippled slightly, and Nan Feng, along with Xiao Wu and A Rou, instantly disappeared from the room and appeared directly on the open ground behind the mountain.

At this moment, dozens of children from the beginner class were gathered in a large circle on the back hill.

In the center of the circle, Tang San was in a starting stance, warily staring at a girl opposite him with short purple hair, an arrogant expression mixed with a hint of exasperation—it was Dugu Yan.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly froze as Nan Feng and his two companions appeared out of thin air.

The arrogant Dugu Yan, who had been shouting, froze the moment she saw Nan Feng's face, her voice changing drastically: "You! You..."

Nan Feng ignored her, instead glancing around at the children watching the commotion, and casually waved his hand: "Disperse."

The students in the beginner class felt as if they had been granted a pardon and scattered like birds and beasts.

His methods, appearing and disappearing without a trace, were like those of a ghost. Coupled with the oppressive aura he inadvertently exuded, the children didn't even dare to ask him a question like "Who are you?"

Only Tang San, Dugu Yan, and Nan Feng's family of three remained on the open ground.

Nan Feng stepped forward, looked at Dugu Yan whose face was pale, and smiled kindly: "Long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Dugu Yan swallowed hard, took an awkward half-step back, and forced out two words: "I remember."

"Are you having any problems with your cultivation?" Nan Feng asked casually, like an elder who cares about a younger person.

"It's...it's fine," Dugu Yan replied dryly.

She glanced furtively at Arou and Xiaowu behind Nanfeng, then at Tang San standing to the side, her eyes full of doubt: "You...know them?"

Nan Feng shrugged and introduced himself generously: "Tang San is a disciple I took in by chance, A Rou is my mistress, and as for that rabbit, I'm barely her stepfather."

Upon hearing this outrageous family background, Dugu Yan's expression froze instantly, and she pointed at Nan Feng, blurting out, "You're not..."

"cough!"

She had only said half of what she was going to say when she suddenly covered her mouth, swallowing the rest of her sentence.

She remembered her grandfather's repeated instructions.

This man's true identity must never be revealed to the outside world, or it will bring utter disaster upon us!

Nan Feng didn't mind at all. She stepped forward and gently patted Dugu Yan's head: "You're older than them all, and you're already a student in the advanced class. As the older sister, how can you lower yourself to the level of these little brats?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan, who had been suppressed, suddenly became indignant. Pointing at Tang San, she accused him, feeling wronged, "He provoked me first! He said my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom is trash!"

Nan Feng turned to look at Tang San.

Tang San felt a little guilty, but still stubbornly explained, "Teacher, she attacked Xiao Wu with poison mist first. I used a special detoxification method to fight back in order to protect Xiao Wu!"

Nan Feng didn't judge who was right or wrong, but instead looked at Dugu Yan again and asked in a calm tone, "Can your poison deal with him?"

Dugu Yan's expression froze for a moment, and she tried to argue, "I...I was careless for a moment, and he took advantage of my weakness..."

"And now?" Nanfeng interrupted her. "If you go all out now, are you confident you can take him down with poison?"

“I…” Dugu Yan was completely speechless and lowered her head guiltily.

Her Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom was indeed completely countered by Tang San's medicinal powder. If the fight continued, she would most likely still not be able to win.

"If you can't deal with it, then try to improve your poison."

Nan Feng's tone became more forceful, "Instead of acting like a sore loser, yelling and calling your parents. You're not a child anymore, do I have to teach you this much?"

Dugu Yan blushed crimson after being scolded, lowered her head guiltily and resentfully, and muttered softly, "I was wrong..."

Xiao Wu, standing behind, watched this scene with an extremely strange expression.

Wait, what? This arrogant and domineering woman who was just now threatening to call on her titled Douluo grandfather for support, how come she's become so docile after Nan Feng scolded her a couple of times?!

Could it be... that Nan Feng is also this guy's stepfather?!

Seeing Dugu Yan honestly admitting her mistake, Nan Feng's tone softened, and he reached out to ruffle her dark purple short hair: "Alright, it's good that you know you're wrong and can correct it. Anyway, I'll be staying in Tiandou City for a while, so I'll teach you a thing or two."

Dugu Yan suddenly raised her head, her eyes lighting up with disbelief: "Really?!"

She knew perfectly well that the man before her was an unparalleled powerhouse, someone even her grandfather, a Title Douluo, had to look up to! If she could receive his guidance…

“Of course it’s true.” Nan Feng nodded. “However, in exchange, as your senior, you’ll have to look after Xiao Wu and the others in the academy.”

"If they encounter someone tough that Xiaowu and the others can't beat, or if someone bullies them because they're older, you have to stand up for them."

Nan Feng glanced at Tang San and said, "Although Tang San has mastered some unorthodox methods of using and detoxifying poison that happen to counter you, this can only be described as a clash of attributes. If you were to encounter other offensive or defensive Soul Masters, your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom would still have a greater deterrent effect over a wider area."

Dugu Yan turned to look at Xiao Wu and Tang San. Although she was still somewhat unconvinced, she reluctantly nodded in order to get Nan Feng's guidance: "Alright, I agree."

"Alright, it's getting late. Stop fooling around and go home to rest." Nan Feng waved his hand, issuing the order to leave.

Dugu Yan nodded obediently, bowed to Nan Feng, and then turned and walked away quickly.

After Dugu Yan left, only Nan Feng's family of three and Tang San remained on the open space behind the mountain.

Nan Feng turned his head and looked at Tang San with a half-smile.

Tang San felt uneasy under Nan Feng's gaze and lowered his head guiltily, not daring to meet her eyes.

"Are you very knowledgeable about poisons?" Nan Feng suddenly asked.

Tang San swallowed hard, becoming even more nervous, and stammered as he answered:

"I...I happen to know a little bit about it."
