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

Outside the half-open door, Xiao Bai, with half her head peeking out, was completely dumbfounded, her jaw practically dropping to the floor in shock.

"No way..." Xiaobai's eyes widened, screaming inwardly, "How come you two are actually hugging?!"

This script is wrong!

Before coming inland, didn't we solemnly declare that we were here as spies for Poseidon Island, to keep an eye on this womanizing scoundrel for the High Priest?!

How come, in the blink of an eye, you, who were supposed to be the informant, are now the one throwing yourself at them?!

You're not here to guard against thieves, you're clearly stealing from the master, blatantly undermining the High Priest!

Xiao Bai was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He instinctively wanted to rush in and loudly rebuke this "traitor," and forcibly separate the two of them.

However, when her gaze pierced through the crack in the door and she saw Nanfeng's shoulders, which were usually ramrod straight but now unusually relaxed, leaning against the female diver, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

She had never seen Nan Feng so unguarded and completely relaxed before.

"never mind……"

Xiao Bai bit her lip, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to break the rare tranquility.

Let's just pretend... I was blind today and didn't see anything! High Priest, I'm so sorry!

……

It was already noon on the second day.

Outside a side hall of the palace, Zhu Zhuqing followed Duke Youming and bid him a final farewell.

Somewhat surprisingly, her older sister Zhu Zhuyun, who had always been cold to her, not only personally escorted her to the side hall today, but also unusually reminded her to be careful on the way.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was somewhat unnatural and whose eyes were slightly red, Nan Feng roughly guessed what the girl was thinking.

However, he didn't rush to point it out. Instead, he flipped his wrist and took out a strange, large flower with a soft blue light and crystal-clear petals from his storage soul tool, and handed it to Zhu Zhuyun in front of him.

"This is?"

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned for a moment, looking at this strange flower she had never seen before, her expression somewhat uneasy.

"This is a plant unique to Poseidon Island, and everyone on the island calls it the Poseidon Flower."

Nan Feng explained, "It is a special plant-type soul beast. Although it cannot stay away from seawater for a long time, it can survive for a long time as long as you keep it in water, and the fragrance it emits has the effect of calming the mind and focusing the spirit."

Consider this a small gift I'm giving you as a casual gesture.

Zhu Zhuyun was flattered and quickly accepted the gift with both hands, bowing respectfully.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."

"Mm." Nan Feng nodded and said nothing more.

He turned around, a thought flashing through his mind.

hum!

A dazzling silver spatial radiance erupted instantly, transforming into a huge transparent spatial sphere several meters in diameter in mid-air, enveloping Nan Feng, Hai Nu, Xiao Bai, and Zhu Zhuqing within it.

"Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space sphere flashed and transformed into a silver streak that was difficult to see with the naked eye. It soared into the sky, tore through the clouds, and sped away towards Tian Dou City in the north!

Chapter 361 Stop arguing! Let go of that little bamboo shoot!

……

In mid-air, inside a space sphere.

Experiencing this inhuman high-altitude flight for the first time, Zhu Zhuqing was startled by the magical and awe-inspiring scene.

She crouched down nervously, gripping her skirt tightly with both hands. Through the transparent energy wall beneath her feet, she looked down at the Star Luo Imperial City below the clouds, which was rapidly shrinking and eventually becoming a tiny black dot. Her eyes welled up with tears again.

After all, this was the first time she had traveled far from home in nine years.

Moreover, they were going to a completely unfamiliar country with a "demon" they had only met yesterday, a man with a notorious reputation for evil.

Although she knew in her heart that this was the best outcome, as a little girl of only nine years old, she would instinctively feel sad, fearful and nervous in the face of an unknown future.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was squatting on the ground silently shedding tears, the sea woman immediately played the role of a "big sister".

She walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side, squatted down, gently hugged the little girl, and patted her back softly to comfort her:

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. If you get bored in Tiandou City or miss home, just tell him."

"He has the ability to tear through space and travel at any time. If he wants to take you back to Xingluo City to visit your relatives, it will only take him a blink of an eye."

While comforting him, the female diver spared no effort in speaking well of Nan Feng: "And let me tell you a secret, as long as you're sweet-talking and obedient, you can ask him for any snacks or fun toys you want."

"Don't let his cold and intimidating appearance fool you; he's actually very easygoing and easily persuaded!"

Hearing the sea woman's words of comfort, Zhu Zhuqing stopped crying slightly.

She nervously raised her head and stole a glance at Nan Feng, who was standing in front of her with his hands behind his back, but still didn't dare to speak first.

Although Nan Feng touched her head and told her not to be afraid in the room in the morning, she did feel much more relaxed at the time.

But now that she was actually in the sky, feeling the other party's godlike ability to change the world, her deep-seated awe and fear suddenly surged up uncontrollably again.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it's really alright."

The sea woman hugged Zhu Zhuqing's head and rubbed it, then looked up and glared at Nan Feng in front of her, ordering him around impatiently:

"Hey! What are you still doing, striking that pose like a martial arts master? Come over here and comfort her, give her a hug!"

"This is her first time traveling far from home, and she's just a little girl. Shouldn't you, this perverted little girl-lover who forcibly took her away, be responsible for comforting her?"

Nan Feng turned his head and sighed helplessly: "She's already afraid of me. If I forcibly hug her, won't she be even more scared?"

"Oh dear, how can you be so stupid!"

The female diver rolled her eyes dramatically and retorted confidently, "Do you have mind-reading abilities or do I?! I already told you, you'll know once you hug it, won't you? Why are you arguing with me like this!"

Nan Feng was speechless.

He paused, walked to Zhu Zhuqing, squatted down, stretched out his hands, and hugged the still trembling Zhu Zhuqing into his broad arms.

The moment she was embraced, Zhu Zhuqing was indeed like a frightened bird, her whole body tensing up instinctively, and she even subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

However, as time ticked by...

Enveloped by Nan Feng's pure aura, which even exuded a sense of absolute security befitting a top predator, Zhu Zhuqing's tense body gradually relaxed.

She even subconsciously reached out her two little hands and grabbed Nan Feng's clothes tightly, then buried her whole face in his arms.

Nan Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms like a little ostrich with some surprise, not quite understanding the girl's thought process.

The female diver stood to the side with a smug expression that said, "I knew it all along."

"See? I told you all you had to do was hug her."

The female diver sat in mid-air, legs crossed, analyzing the situation with the air of a relationship expert.

"You just don't have any self-awareness about your current situation."

“You actually have a very special kind of protective quality that makes people feel absolutely safe. Of course, I'm talking about the last three years. Your current demeanor is completely different from when we first met.”

The female diver recalled the past and pursed her lips, "You were indeed very dangerous back then. Not to mention her, even I felt uneasy just looking at you."

"Back then, you had a kind of seemingly peaceful but actually madness that could break you down at any moment. I don't need to read minds to feel how terrifying you were."

“But in the past few years, you have really become much gentler.”

"It's probably because you've been taking care of such a large group of children in Tiandou City, acting as both father and mother to them every day, that your paternal instincts have become stronger."

"So, you've long lost that imposing and chilling aura you used to have."

Nan Feng's eyes twitched slightly as he listened, expressing extreme skepticism about this assessment of "paternal radiance": "Are you sure?"

“Although I can’t read your mind, I do have a good eye for people, okay?” The female diver rolled her eyes. “If you don’t believe me, ask Shiro. She’s very perceptive when it comes to danger.”

Xiao Bai nodded frantically in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! You've really improved a lot in the past few years. You seem more mature and reliable!"

“Unlike before, when you stood there like a deep-sea tyrant ready to devour anyone at any moment, it was terrifying to look at.”

"But right now, you really give us the feeling of a high priest. Just being around you makes us feel incredibly safe!"

Nan Feng remained skeptical of the praise for the two fish, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, the sea maid continued in her "mentor" role, pointing to Zhu Zhuqing, who was nestled in Nan Feng's arms:

"Alright, Xiao Zhuqing is currently in her most confused and vulnerable emotional low point. As her new support, are you sure you don't want to offer her some guidance?"

"Although you don't have mind-reading abilities, your honeycomb-shaped brain is just as good at reading people's minds as I am. You must be able to guess why she's so sad, right?"

Nan Feng looked at the sea woman speechlessly: "Since you know everything, why can't you, this self-proclaimed psychological mentor, personally give her some guidance?"

“How can that be the same?” The ama spread her hands righteously. “She’s your adopted little girl now, not mine. What’s the point of me, an outsider, trying to comfort her? At this crucial moment of building an emotional bond, of course you have to step in personally!”

The female diver paused, then thoughtfully added, "Of course, if you're too embarrassed to speak up, I can reluctantly act as your mouthpiece and tell you the truth."

Chapter 362 Escaping the Whirlpool, Family Ties Return Instantly

……

Before Nan Feng could agree, the sea maiden cleared her throat and spoke to Zhu Zhuqing, who was nestled in Nan Feng's arms:

"Xiao Zhuqing, I know that you are really confused and sad right now, aren't you?"

"Because when you came home to say goodbye this morning, you noticed that your father and mother, who had been cold to you for the past few years, suddenly became very gentle."

"That gentleness is like going back to when you were a child, before you awakened the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul and before you were engaged to that damned royal marriage with Dai Mubai."

"Not only that, even my sister Zhu Zhuyun, who used to threaten to kill you in the family competition over the past few years, has suddenly become like a good sister today."

"She not only personally saw you off, but also patiently reminded you to be careful while you were out and about, not to make Nan Feng angry, and to behave well in Tian Dou City, to be good at understanding people's hearts, and to get along well with the people there."

The female diver's voice softened, "You feel very confused about the contradictory changes in your family. You don't understand why everyone seems to have changed overnight?"

"But at the same time, you have a memory of this long-lost care. Because a long time ago, they really did care about you in the same way."

"Until you awakened your martial spirit, were chosen by the royal family, and were forced into that life-or-death power struggle... From that day on, everyone's attitude changed overnight."

"You feel that the cold shoulders and murderous intent you've received over the past few years are like a ridiculous nightmare."

"Originally, you were very happy to be able to leave Xingluo City, that den of tigers and wolves that devours people."
