Nan Feng lowered his eyes, looking at his long, slender but bloodless hands:

"What can I do? My body has no heartbeat and no temperature. All the external temperature I can feel is essentially just false energy feedback."

Qian Renxue didn't let go; instead, she hugged him even tighter.

A dazzling and pure divine soul power of a six-winged angel surged from her body, transforming into a layer of warm golden light, like the warm sun in winter, completely enveloping Nan Feng's cold energy body.

Qian Renxue gently rested her chin on Nan Feng's shoulder, feeling the stiff but no longer resisting body in her arms. Her voice was soft but carried an undeniable stubbornness:

"And what about the temperature now?"

"Do you dare say... it's still fake?"

Chapter 378 The Sharp-Tongued Man's Defense Mechanism, the Angel's Holy and Gentle Offensive

……

The sky gradually brightened.

A soft, pale light appeared on the horizon, and the cool morning sea breeze rustled the coconut trees along the beach.

Under the shade of the tree, Nan Feng closed his eyes and, for the first time ever, buried his head in Qian Renxue's arms, resting quietly for the entire night.

He had always been the one to protect others with his cold, energy-filled body; this was the first time he had been held so unguarded by her.

Qian Renxue lowered her head and quietly looked at Nan Feng, who had fallen asleep in her arms, her eyes filled with an indescribable tenderness and pity.

At this moment, he put away all his sharpness and defensiveness, becoming as quiet as a pitiful and helpless child.

In public, he is always the scheming, powerful, and mad Demon God Douluo, but when he is alone, he always exudes a heartbreaking sense of loneliness.

Qian Renxue couldn't resist and stretched out her fair fingers to gently pinch his high nose.

Just like when she was little, he always liked to pinch her nose in a somewhat mischievous way.

Sometimes, Qian Renxue really felt that this misplacement of identities was quite strange.

Even though this guy practically watched her grow up and even nominally acted as her elder, she simply can't treat him as a real elder now.

Because deep down, he didn't have a trace of the old-fashioned air that comes with being an elder.

He can always appear deep, composed, and shrewd for the sake of the bigger picture, but that is ultimately just a mask he wears for survival and his own purposes.

Beneath the mask, he is essentially a child who is extremely insecure and never grows up.

What he truly desired was not supreme power to rule the continent; he simply wanted a group of cute, innocent little girls by his side.

It seemed that just looking at those clean and pure white papers made him happy and content every day.

“And you keep saying I’m childish…” Qian Renxue looked at his sleeping face and muttered to herself, “You are clearly the most childish person in the world.”

Seemingly sensing the unusual sensation on his nose, Nan Feng frowned slightly, then slowly opened his heterochromatic eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qian Renxue pinching her nose.

"You have no manners." Nan Feng slapped her hand away without any politeness, his voice slightly hoarse from just waking up, and tried to sit up from her arms.

However, as soon as he made a move, Qian Renxue grabbed his shoulder and forcibly pulled him back into her arms.

"Don't move."

"It's rare for me to be able to hug you like this, and it's also rare for you not to kick me away and to let me hug you like this. Don't rush to get up, let me hug you for a while longer."

Nan Feng rolled his eyes, speechless. "Are you overflowing with maternal love? If you're feeling pent up, go find a man and have a baby. Once you have a baby, you can hold it every day, you'll have plenty of time to take care of it!"

Qian Renxue looked at him expressionlessly: "Looking for a man? Who?"

"How would I know what kind of person you like?" Nan Feng casually retorted. "You can find whoever you want. With your wealth as the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire and your background as a six-winged angel, you could keep a bunch of male concubines in your harem without any problem. Who would dare to interfere?"

Qian Renxue's expression froze, and she tightened her grip on his arm, gritting her teeth as she said, "Are you going to start acting like a jerk again?"

"Nanfeng, let me tell you, don't expect me to let you go just because of your sarcastic remarks!"

Nan Feng sighed helplessly, his tone full of confusion: "No, why do you insist on hugging me? If you really want to hug something, go hug Bi Ji or Xue Di. They are so easy to hug, each one is fragrant and soft."

"You're carrying a giant spider? My body doesn't even have the warmth of a living person. How can you even lift me up?"

Several veins seemed to bulge on Qian Renxue's forehead. Without any politeness, she grabbed Nan Feng's head and pressed him forcefully into her soft embrace, coldly scolding, "Lie down! Shut up!"

Then, she lowered her head, her gaze fixed intently on Nan Feng's face, which was forced to be buried against her chest, and asked provocatively:

"They smell sweet and soft, so why shouldn't I smell sweet and soft too?"

Nan Feng's eyes twitched violently, and his voice became distorted from being muffled in her arms: "Big sister, how old are you? How old are they?"

"When I hug them, it's just a hug, no different from petting a cat or dog. It's simply because I like cute kids. But hugging you? That's really weird, you understand?!"

Qian Renxue wasn't ashamed at all. Instead, she snorted coldly, "I, the person being hugged, have no objections. What's wrong with you hugging me? Will the sky fall down?"

Nan Feng completely gave up struggling and sighed weakly, "If you're really that old, that kind of adolescent yearning for love, then you should seriously find a boyfriend. Look at Tang San, not only has he not neglected his cultivation, but he's even dating Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire now."

"I don't think so," Qian Renxue replied decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Nan Feng sighed helplessly: "You didn't even glance at it, how do you know you don't like it?"

"Since I know I don't like it, why should I waste my time looking at it? I don't have a masochistic streak."

Qian Renxue lowered her head, her warm breath gently brushing against Nan Feng's forehead, her tone suddenly becoming unusually serious, "I think you're enough."

Nan Feng's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then his eyes twitched violently again, and his tone became increasingly sharp and defensive:

"Although it may sound harsh, your mother Bibi Dong and I share a symbiotic relationship on a spiritual level. Besides, you genuinely called me 'Mom' for a while back then!"

"Look at me? What's going on in your head? This ethical relationship isn't right!"

Qian Renxue looked speechlessly at the man in her arms who was desperately trying to arm himself with all sorts of harsh words. Instead of feeling angry, she felt a surge of amusement.

"Alright, stop wasting your energy. There's no way I'm going to let you go."

It's always the same!

The moment she shows even the slightest sign of wanting to get closer to him or give him a hug, this old spider covered in sharp spines will react as if it's been electrocuted, immediately launching into a frenzy of the most offensive, harsh, and even ethically motivated attacks at her!

He did this simply to drive her away, using this clumsy attempt to provoke her and mask his deep-seated fear of being loved and touched.

When she was younger and more arrogant, she would get so angry at his shameless words that her eyes would turn red, and she would wish she could draw her sword and kill him on the spot.

However, after stumbling and struggling through all these years, she had long since figured out the true nature of this dead spider.

Qian Renxue is now completely immune to his seemingly tough but actually weak "sharp tongue defense mechanism"!

Chapter 379 The Angel and the Demon's Confession: A Jealous Morning Showdown

……

Seeing that Qian Renxue was completely unmoved and that no matter what harsh words he said, they were like mud oxen sinking into the sea, Nan Feng was completely numb and looked at her with a black line on his face.

Why do you always like to cling to me?

Nan Feng sighed, his voice filled with helplessness, "I think I've been awful enough. I've bullied men and women, committed all sorts of evil deeds, and schemed against everyone in the world. And if you really want to know, I have a blood feud with you for killing my father. I really don't understand what you're after, why you insist on getting close to me?"

Qian Renxue shrugged nonchalantly, her tone unusually calm: "You're not a good person, and neither am I."

"Didn't you always tell me to have some self-awareness? Well, from the day I killed and replaced Xue Qinghe, I haven't been a good person, have I?"

"No matter what family cause I was pursuing, no matter how noble my reasons were, Xue Qinghe was just an innocent prince who was not favored in the deep palace. And what was the result? For my own ambition and for the Spirit Hall's infiltration plan, I killed him without hesitation and replaced him."

Qian Renxue's eyes became deep and calm. "From that day on, my hands have been stained with the blood of the innocent. I am no longer a good person."

"Since none of us are good people, and we're all villains struggling in this quagmire, why should I despise you?"

Hearing this confession, which could be described as "outrageous," Nan Feng completely lost his temper.

He sighed deeply, gave up struggling, turned over to a slightly more comfortable position, and lay peacefully in her arms.

"You mean, you and I are birds of a feather?"

“Of course.” Qian Renxue nodded confidently, a smug smile playing on her lips. “If I’m a little rascal, then you’re a complete old rascal.”

Nan Feng's eye twitched violently twice: "You're getting more and more shameless."

"Isn't this all learned from you?"

Qian Renxue snorted coldly, speaking without batting an eye, "All my skills were learned little by little from you. Good or bad, it's because you taught me well when I did good things; it's because you, as my teacher, set a bad example by doing bad things."

Nan Feng was completely speechless. He simply closed his eyes, choosing to play dead, not wanting to say another word.

……

Time passed second by second, and dawn broke.

On the tranquil coastline, a few light footsteps suddenly echoed across the soft sand.

After spending the whole night playing wildly with the female diver and Shiro, Gu Yuena, Xue Di, Bing Di, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji finally returned, riding on the morning waves.

Although Ning Rongrong and her group of human girls had also played with Purple Pearl all night, their energy was limited, and they had long since run out of energy and went back to sleep.

However, Gu Yuena and her group of overlords whose true forms are ancient ferocious beasts have an outrageously vigorous energy. They can stay up all night, or even go ten days or half a month without closing their eyes without any effect.

Two young women, leading five beautifully sculpted little girls, walked over in a grand procession.

All seven people had changed into extremely cool island outfits.

Under Nan Feng's behind-the-scenes manipulation over the years, the clothing industry on Purple Pearl Island has long since developed a large number of advanced and highly modern cross-generational products.

However, these little girls were all wearing cute beach dresses, and they had all changed into them specifically after arriving at this beach.

Clearly, this was specially worn for Nan Feng.

However, when they got closer and saw the scene on the reef, their expressions instantly became quite varied.

Looking at Nan Feng lying comfortably in Qian Renxue's arms, Gu Yuena suddenly stopped in her tracks, a strong feeling of sourness and jealousy instantly welling up in her heart.

She was holding two colorful ice cream cones in her hand when she saw this, and immediately took off running over with her short legs, puffing out her cheeks.

Xue Di and the others looked at each other, their expressions varied, but they still followed the kind-hearted Bi Ji and went over together.

The sea woman and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, a hint of anticipation flashing in their eyes, and quickly followed.

Upon getting closer, Gu Yuena ran directly in front of Nan Feng.

Those big, bright purple eyes stared straight at him, looking pitiful and wronged...

It's like watching a heartless man who sneaks out to have an affair while his wife is away.
