"Then I can only try another method."
"I have no choice but to take the mass line and use a large number of people."
"I must preserve the lower and middle-level Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall, because that is the only foundation we can truly control in the future."
"I must win over the Haotian Sect because I need their strength to make up for the gap between us and the Hall of Offerings in high-end combat power."
"I have to get involved myself and do everything personally, because those elders simply don't listen to me!"
"Do you think I want to be this tired? Do you think I want to take risks?"
Nan Feng pointed at Bibi Dong's nose in the Sea of Spirit:
"All this trouble, all this risk, ultimately comes down to your stubborn unwillingness!"
"And now you're asking me why I've changed?"
"Isn't that infuriating?!"
In the sea of the spirit, the air seemed to freeze.
Bibi Dong stared at the purple light and shadow that was raging and cursing in the mental world, and fell into a long silence.
For her?
wrong.
The old spider made it very clear from the beginning that he was doing it for himself, to survive, and to become a god.
But that's not right either.
If his only goal was to become a god, the power struggles within the Spirit Hall would be a meaningless burden for him.
He had even said before that at worst, they could just ruin the Spirit Hall, then everyone could pack up and leave, find a place to hide and cultivate, or go directly to the City of Slaughter.
He didn't care about the fate of the Spirit Hall or the Pope's authority at all.
but……
If you don't care, why go to all the trouble to help her secure this position?
Why, after being rejected by her for the simplest "shortcut," did he not only not give up, but instead risk his life to devise a more complex, more dangerous plan that even required him to personally lead the charge?
He was complaining, cursing, and venting his dissatisfaction.
But what he did was genuinely help her fill the gaps and help her carve out her own path in the perilous Spirit Hall.
"Nanfeng".
Bibi Dong suddenly spoke, her voice less cold and hard, and more inquisitive and confused:
"I don't know."
"You are clearly a soul beast, yet you understand human nature and scheming better than humans; you are only focused on becoming a god and regard all living beings as worthless, yet you are getting deeper and deeper into this mess."
"You say you don't care, that you'll treat the Spirit Hall like a game. But what you're doing now..."
"why?"
Bibi Dong stared directly at the purple figure:
"Since you think I'm stupid, since you think I'm hopeless, why don't you just take control of my body, or force me to submit?"
"Given your despicable and vile nature, I believe you have a way."
"You definitely have a way to achieve your goals without cooperating, and even force me to cooperate with you, just like when I wanted to kill Qian Xunji before."
"But why do you scold me while... indulging me?"
"..."
Nan Feng stopped in his tracks.
He turned his back to Bibi Dong and remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he moved.
He didn't answer, but instead lunged forward, knocking Bibi Dong's consciousness to the illusory ground.
The two locked eyes, so close they could almost feel the vibrations in each other's souls.
Nan Feng's eyes changed, becoming deep and gentle.
"why?"
"because……"
"This is love."
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
For a moment, she was truly in a daze.
That look in her eyes, that tone of voice—it was all so real. It made her instinctively want to escape, to avoid those eyes that seemed to see right through her soul.
It was a long-lost, unfamiliar, and frightening thrill.
but……
It only lasted for a moment.
Bibi Dong's eyes regained their clarity, even carrying a hint of annoyance and coldness.
"roll!!"
She suddenly waved her hand, and a mental shock shoved Nan Feng away.
“If it were before, I might have actually believed this reason.”
Bibi Dong stood up and coldly looked at Nan Feng, who still wore an indifferent smile even after being pushed away:
"But ever since I found out that your feelings for Qian Renxue were just an act, a calculated scheme..."
"I no longer believe that you, an old spider, have human emotions!"
"Everything about you is fake! Your anger, your helplessness, even your current affection, it's all fake!"
"I simply can't believe you!"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her voice revealing a deep sense of dread:
"Because I don't know if this is yet another trap you've set for me, yet another scheme you've devised!"
"in this regard……"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath. "Whether I like it or not, I can't outsmart you, you old spider!"
Nan Feng was not angry at Bibi Dong's blunt and even aggressive suspicion.
Instead, he laughed.
He smiled exceptionally brightly, even with a hint of... relief.
"it is good."
Nan Feng dusted off non-existent dust, stood up, and looked at Bibi Dong with admiration in his eyes:
"I would be very happy if you had believed me just now."
"Because that at least shows that you're starting to try to trust me, and our partnership is moving forward."
"But……"
Nan Feng changed the subject, his smile widening:
"I'm even happier that you don't believe me."
"Because it shows that you've really grown up, Dongdong."
"You've truly become more cautious. You're no longer easily swayed by emotions like someone with a love-struck mind, and you're no longer easily controlled by other people's feelings."
"These are the qualities a qualified pope should possess, and a powerful individual who wants to control their own destiny."
Nan Feng slowly walked up to Bibi Dong, extended a finger, and gently touched her brow:
"But you'd better remember one thing."
"Since you've made your choice, since you've acted so cautiously, so rationally, even so ruthlessly towards me..."
"Then I hope that you can maintain this rationality when you are dealing with other people."
Chapter 58 Nan Feng: I'm here to apologize.
……
Nan Feng's voice suddenly lowered, carrying a chilling undertone:
"If you dare to act impulsively, become emotional, or even disregard everything for someone in front of others..."
"For example, that useless master, or some people who aren't worth your effort..."
"I'll be jealous."
"I would be very, very jealous."
Nan Feng's fingers slid down her brow, finally stopping at her heart:
"The consequences if I get jealous..."
"You can guess what I'll do."
Bibi Dong shuddered, feeling a chill rise from the depths of her soul.
She had no doubt that if this crazy old spider really went mad, it was capable of anything!
"Alright, that concludes today's counseling session."
Nan Feng suddenly withdrew his hand, reverting to his lazy and casual demeanor. He yawned, turned around, and walked towards his "room" deep within the Sea of Spirit.
Good night, my dear Pope.
"I'm going to sleep now, don't bother me unless it's important."
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the illusory door slammed shut, and the sound of a lock clicking shut could even be heard from inside.
