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

Qian Renxue took a deep breath: "If it really comes to that, the long-standing war situation on this continent will be completely overturned!"

Nan Feng nodded calmly: "You should handle this matter carefully. I won't interfere or say anything."

"Tang San has his own ambitions and path. I never interfere much in his affairs. As long as he doesn't go completely astray or cross certain lines that cannot be crossed, I let him do whatever he wants."

Nan Feng paused, then asked, "Also, how is the relationship between Princess Xue Ke and him progressing lately?"

"not bad."

Mentioning this, Qian Renxue's solemn expression eased slightly. "Xue Ke admires, even idolizes, Tang San's extraordinary talent and composure. And Tang San also greatly appreciates Xue Ke's unreserved, gentle, and considerate care."

“However…” Qian Renxue looked at Nan Feng with a strange expression, “Are you sure you want me to continue to secretly push things along and bring them together?”

Chapter 372 The Ice and Fire Witch Descends, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu

……

"Why not?" Nan Feng countered. "The simplest and most effective way is to make Tang San the son-in-law of the Heaven Dou Empire. This way, he will be completely bound to the Heaven Dou royal family, sharing both glory and ruin."

Qian Renxue nodded noncommittally, then asked, "What about the Haotian Sect? Have they made any moves lately?"

"No." Nan Feng shook his head.

"No movement at all?" Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised. "Tang San has made quite a stir at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy these past few years, and he's even gotten involved with Dugu Bo. How could the Clear Sky Sect, with its eyes always watching the outside world, not have noticed anything?"

"As for the Haotian Sect, it's likely that Tang Yuehua is using Yuexuan's intelligence network to secretly shield and cover up the news for them."

Nan Feng analyzed calmly, "However, the truth will eventually come out. As Tang San makes more and more noise, especially once things like hidden weapons are revealed, it's only a matter of time before he's exposed to the Clear Sky Sect and even the Spirit Hall."

"Should we continue to keep it a secret for him?" Qian Renxue asked.

"There's no need to deliberately hide it." Nan Feng waved his hand. "Just let nature take its course."

We've pretty much finished discussing the important matters.

Qian Renxue suddenly stepped forward, abruptly lowering her voice, "Wuhun City... are you really not planning to go back and see her?"

Nan Feng's body stiffened slightly.

“A month ago, when I was inspecting the border as the Crown Prince, I secretly returned to Wuhun City and took a look at her from afar.”

Qian Renxue looked at Nan Feng, her voice somewhat heavy, "She's really not the same as before. She's lost a lot of weight, and her eyes are vacant."

"It's not the right time yet." Nan Feng looked away.

Qian Renxue looked at him with a complicated expression, "Do you know that by avoiding her and ignoring her, you are actually hurting her a lot!"

“I know.” Nan Feng sighed, his tone full of deep helplessness. “But if I go back to see her now, and I don’t avoid her, it will only make things worse for her.”

"She is currently at a critical juncture in the Asura God Trial. She must confront her deepest fears and past. She needs to grow through her own strength and pull herself out of that quagmire!"

Nan Feng closed his eyes. "I can't pull her back, and nobody can either. My presence will only become a crutch for her to escape reality. You know this very well, don't you?"

Qian Renxue was speechless after hearing these words, but still felt aggrieved:

"Yes! I understand the reasoning! But you can't really be so heartless as to not see her for several years!"

Even if you only go back to see her occasionally and don't talk to her, just letting her know you're still there is a little motivation for her to keep going!

“You don’t understand.” Nan Feng shook his head helplessly. “Going to see her every now and then will only distract her.”

"She finally grew a little under the pressure of the divine exam and was able to face the pain independently. But as soon as I appear, she immediately shrinks back into the shell of wanting to rely on me like an ostrich. Then all her efforts will be in vain!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qian Renxue laughed in exasperation, rolling her eyes speechlessly. "You know everything! You can calculate everything flawlessly! You have everything under control!"

"Then let me ask you! What happened three years ago when Tang Chen suddenly came back to life and went insane?!"

"My grandfather was almost beaten to death on the spot by that old madman!"

Nan Feng was somewhat helpless when asked: "Didn't I already explain this to you when I came back three years ago? It was purely something that the Asura God was doing behind the scenes."

"You said it yourself, it was the God of Asura who was stirring things up in the dark!"

Qian Renxue became somewhat agitated and accused, "Since even gods will stop at nothing to interfere, isn't the Asura God Trial she's currently undergoing dangerous? In a situation where death could strike at any moment, shouldn't you be standing by and watching her more closely?"

"And what about you? You hide in Tiandou City every day, comfortably holding little girls and being the perfect father! How can you be so shameless?!"

Nan Feng remained silent for a long time before helplessly spreading his hands: "I can't help with anything substantial right now regarding the gods' affairs, and it might even provoke the Asura God to target us even more."

"If you really can't bear to see her like this and feel sorry for her, you can go back to Wuhun City and encourage her. Didn't you say that she needs motivation right now?"

Qian Renxue was utterly speechless. "Me? Encourage her? What can I offer her? Wish her an early death and a better life?"

"I was serious."

Nan Feng stared into Qian Renxue's eyes, "Your appearance and your encouragement have had a much greater effect on her current divine examination than mine."

"Don't worry about how she treated you before."

Nan Feng sighed, "No matter how much she seems to hate you, in reality, the person she cares about most, can't let go of, and feels most indebted to in this world is still you."

"As for Hu Liena... her affection for Hu Liena is more of a morbid compensatory psychology. She is just looking for the feeling of loving someone without having to bear psychological pressure in Hu Liena."

"You are the only knot in her heart that she can't untie."

Qian Renxue fell into a long silence.

Looking into Nan Feng's serious eyes, she knew he wasn't lying or joking.

After a long silence, Qian Renxue forced a bitter smile and said, "But... even if I really went, what could I say to her? What should I say?"

"do not know."

Nan Feng shook his head. "This is a matter between you two. As an outsider, I dare not and cannot speak on your behalf."

……

Several months passed quietly.

With the negotiations between the two great empires, Tian Dou and Xing Luo, coming to a close, the maritime trade zone on Purple Pearl Island finally got on track and stabilized completely.

In the past few months, the newly arrived Zhu Zhuqing has gradually emerged from the shadows of the past.

Under the relentless guidance of Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, two mischievous and eccentric girls, she not only fully adapted to the collective life at Yuexuan and the academy, but also became very familiar with everyone.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Nan Feng finally decided to fulfill his long-delayed promise.

Let's take these little devils, who have been cooped up for three years, on a real vacation at sea and go for a walk.

However, on the morning before their departure, they were greeted by several uninvited guests.

Qian Renxue, using the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, swaggered in.

Moreover, behind her were two girls who looked to be around the same age as Dugu Yan, but with striking looks and completely opposite temperaments.

One is Shui Bing'er, with long, light blue hair and a cool, icy demeanor.

The other is Huo Wu, with short, dark red hair, a tall figure, and a fiery charm.

Upon seeing this, Nan Feng, who was sitting on the sofa checking the list of ships heading to sea, was completely speechless.

He put down his pen, grabbed Qian Renxue's arm, and pulled her to a corner of the living room.

"What are you doing now?!"

Chapter 373 Will Calling Him Dad Make Him Happy? The Crown Prince's Poisonous Chicken Soup

……

"What do you mean, what are you doing? Of course, I'm doing all this for your sake!"

Qian Renxue puffed out her chest confidently, "I recently went to inspect Tianshui Academy and Chihuo Academy. For your grand collection project, I carefully selected these two beautiful and exceptionally talented little girls for you!"

"Do you know that the higher-ups at these two academies have long heard of your reputation for being a doting father in Heaven Dou City?"

"This time, I personally spoke up again. They were afraid that if they refused, they would provoke you, the peerless devil, to come and snatch them away yourself, so they simply packed them up and gave them to me. They were so grateful and asked me to take good care of them!"

Nan Feng's forehead veins throbbed as he listened: "What do you mean by this?! What kind of person do you take me for?!"

"Oh, what does this have to do with me?"

Qian Renxue shrugged dismissively. "Anyway, I've already brought them here for you. You can't expect me to send them back untouched, can you? If we return them, it would be such a blow to the pride of those two innocent young girls."

Qian Renxue patted Nan Feng on the shoulder, "Anyway, you already have so many girls in this big villa, two more or less won't make a difference. Add two more!"

"Perfect timing! The more people going out to sea this time, the more lively it will be, won't it?"

Nan Feng was completely speechless.

He turned his head and looked at the two little girls standing in the middle of the living room, who were nervously peeking at him. In the end, he sighed in his heart and gave up on arguing with Qian Renxue about this issue.

If he tries to outmaneuver this woman, he'll inevitably be the one to compromise in the end.

Nan Feng released Qian Renxue, composed himself, walked up to Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, and said in a calm tone, "You two, come with me for a moment."

After saying that, he led the two out of the villa and into a secluded grove of trees nearby.

"Did your family really agree to you coming here?"

Nan Feng turned around and asked directly.

Shui Bing'er paused for a moment, then nodded, somewhat puzzled, "I agree."

Nan Feng frowned slightly and continued to press, "Your Highness the Crown Prince... the one who brought you here, she didn't use the royal family or any other power to coerce you, did she?"

"Forcing us? Why do you say that?" Huo Wu asked, her face full of doubt.

"Then how did you manage to get here with her?" Nan Feng still harbored great doubts about Qian Renxue's methods.

Shui Bing'er was a calm and composed person. She organized her thoughts and explained earnestly, "It's like this. When His Highness the Crown Prince visited our Tianshui Academy a few days ago, he approached me privately."

"He said... he could help introduce me to His Majesty the Demon God, who is famous throughout the continent, and he also said that if I were in a good mood, he might be willing to take me as his apprentice because of my talent."

Shui Bing'er paused for a moment, then said, "After my family and the higher-ups at the academy found out about this, they immediately told me to pack my bags and come with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yeah, I'm in a similar situation." Huo Wu nodded in agreement.

As the two girls spoke, their clear eyes showed no sign of being forced or aggrieved; instead, they looked at Nan Feng with nervousness, anticipation, and trepidation.

Over the past few years, they had heard all sorts of terrifying legends about the "Demon God Douluo" who had been living in seclusion in Tiandou City for many years.

Of course, I also heard the gossip that this peerless expert liked to keep young girls around him.

Although they considered themselves to be twelve or thirteen years old and no longer little girls, if they could really become disciples of a legendary peerless Douluo, even if they only received a few casual words of guidance, it would be an incredibly beneficial opportunity for their future cultivation path!
