207. Chapter 205: Only Oneself

……

On the calm and beautiful sea, Xiao Wu and the others, knowing they had been seen through, no longer pretended to be seasick and honestly followed everyone else to help with the work.

However, after that night, the atmosphere on the ship gradually became subtle.

Originally, Xiao Wu and the others only guessed that Nan Feng was not dead, but they were not certain; in fact, many of them knew clearly that this was just a form of self-consolation.

But after that pot of late-night snack appeared, Xiao Wu completely confirmed her guess, and the others, seeing Xiao Wu's reaction and combining it with Bibi Dong's behavior during this period, also vaguely felt something.

However, since Nan Feng did not intend to come back to life, they naturally had to go along with it.

"How much longer until we arrive?"

Xiao Wu, who was sitting at the stern of the ship fishing, had already started to miss the land.

The swaying sea surface felt quite novel at first, but after staying for a long time, plus the occasional stimulating waves and the sea breeze mixed with the smell of blood and rot, everyone could no longer stand it.

"According to the instructions on the nautical chart, it should take about another half a month," Hu Liena said.

"Half a month?" Xiao Wu was about to break down.

"We still have to drift on this thing for half a month?"

"There's no way around it, our ship's speed is just this slow," Hu Liena said.

"Besides, we have to avoid the danger zones."

The sea is not safe; the number and age of Soul Beasts in the sea are far above those on land, and they are all landlubbers who are not good at naval battles; even a Title Douluo would have their combat power greatly reduced at sea.

If they were to stubbornly charge into the living areas of those ferocious sea Soul Beasts, they would be finished.

Even if the combat power on this ship is high, some powerful sea Soul Beast groups can unite to influence the direction of ocean currents! If they made enemies with that kind of Soul Beast, they would likely be trapped at sea until they died!

"Is there no way to increase the ship's speed?" Xiao Wu asked.

"We have neither a wind-attribute Spirit Master nor a water-attribute Spirit Master, so how can we accelerate?" Hu Liena said.

Xiao Wu lay down, feeling depressed, "If only Dad were here, he could make this ship fly fast."

"Nan Feng... is a wind-attribute Spirit Master?" Huo Wu asked in confusion.

Didn't Nan Feng use fire-attribute powers during the finals?

She saw it at the time; a single Flame Explosion blew up the Spirit Fighting Arena.

"No, but he can make the ship accelerate," Hu Liena said.

"We don't really understand the principle either, but he has a soul skill like that; not just the ship, as long as it's a moving object, he can make it accelerate briefly."

"Our reaction speed being so fast is actually something Nan Feng forced out of us."

Shui Bing'er looked strange, "This can be forced?"

"When he trained our reaction speed, he threw rubber balls at us," Hu Liena said.

"Rubber balls? Is that useful?" Bai Chenxiang asked skeptically.

Hu Liena looked strange, "Do you think your speed is fast?"

"Of course, within the same rank, there is no Spirit Master faster than me," Bai Chenxiang said confidently.

The Min Clan's speed is indisputably the best on the continent.

"Then do you think your grandfather's speed is fast?" Hu Liena asked.

"Of course," Bai Chenxiang said.

"If we are just comparing speed, no one can be faster than my grandfather."

"Then do you know why Patriarch Bai He sat in a chair and stared blankly every day when he first joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Rongrong said strangely.

Bai Chenxiang was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Patriarch Bai He was knocked flat by a single ball from him; I was watching from the side at the time," Ning Rongrong said.

"Ever since then, he has been depressed for a long time, didn't you notice?"

Bai Chenxiang's expression froze, "My grandfather... was knocked into a wheelchair by him?"

"Be glad, your grandfather could at least sit in a wheelchair; as for us? We were all paralyzed in bed," Hu Liena sighed.

"He forced our reaction speed into pre-judgment!"

It is impossible to dodge after Nan Feng launches an attack.

Therefore, if you don't want to be paralyzed, you have to learn to pre-judge! Max out your danger perception! "Paralyzed in bed?" Bai Chenxiang looked suspicious.

"Aren't you all fine?"

"Did the Yuehua Pavilion Master not tell you that Nan Feng is also the continent's number one miracle doctor?" Hu Liena asked in confusion.

"Never mind paralysis, as long as you have a breath left, he can heal you in seconds!"

"We were paralyzed at least a hundred times a day back then."

Shui Bing'er looked strange, "You... don't have masochistic tendencies, do you?"

"No!" Ning Rongrong's expression turned serious.

"We are definitely not masochists, but he is definitely a huge sadist!"

"We just foolishly clicked 'start' at the time, but when it ends, that's for him to decide."

"Besides, where do you think our combat power comes from?" Dugu Yan said.

"You all talk about seeking breakthroughs in the face of life-and-death crises; we were wandering the gates of hell every day."

"Sometimes I really wanted to step over, but he would pull me back every time, then kick me in, and pull me out again."

"..." Shui Bing'er.

He's like this, and you still like him?

And you say you don't have masochistic tendencies!?

……

"Grandfather, where is she?"

After more than a month, Qian Renxue finally woke up from her coma.

However, after waking up, she discovered that everyone had disappeared.

Nan Feng and Tang Chen perished together, the Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong retired, the Tiandou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was accidentally killed by Tang Hao, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect announced it was sealing its mountain, the Two Great Empires signed a non-aggression treaty... a pile of messy news!

"They left," Qian Daoliu said with his eyes closed.

"Where did they go?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I don't know," Qian Daoliu said.

"It's all over."

"Xue Qinghe, why did he die?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I arranged it," Qian Daoliu said.

"The Stealing the Nation Plan has lost its meaning; the Douluo Continent must absolutely not have the sparks of war for at least a hundred years, otherwise, everyone will die."

Under Nan Feng's lead, the Two Great Empires invested heavily in the research and development of Soul Guidance Devices, which directly caused numbers and cultivation levels to lose their meaning.

Once a war starts, it won't be a matter of whether the ruling class dies or not; it is that everyone will die.

War, death, plague, virulent poison...

No one dares to fight.

"Nan Feng, what exactly is the situation?" Qian Renxue asked.

"You saw it," Qian Daoliu said.

"Why?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

"Why did she kill him?"

"Because he wished for it," Qian Daoliu opened his eyes.

"Don't you know?"

"Moreover, the matters between them are not for you to manage."

In Bibi Dong's eyes, Qian Renxue no longer had any relationship with her.

In Nan Feng's eyes, Qian Renxue was just a willful child who lacked self-awareness.

But regardless of whose perspective it was, Qian Renxue had always been an outsider.

"Why is it not for me to manage?" Qian Renxue asked.

"By what right can I not manage it?"

Qian Daoliu sighed, "Look at how you are now, you've even started acting unreasonably."

"You want to manage their affairs, what is your reason?"

"Do you have a relationship with Nan Feng? Or do you have a relationship with Bibi Dong?"

"Don't forget, you already said before that Bibi Dong is no longer your mother; you have no relationship with her at all."

"The matters between the two of them are their private business; where is it your turn to point fingers?"

"To put it bluntly, to them, you are merely a passerby."

Qian Renxue's self-righteousness was incompatible with Nan Feng, and also incompatible with those children.

So even Dugu Yan, who had been in Tiandou City and knew the true situation early on, did not have any heart-to-heart friendship with Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue always stood on high ground, so she could not make friends, and in her eyes, there was no such thing as friends; there were only interest trade-offs.

She only learned the superficialities of Ning Fengzhi, yet mistakenly took these superficialities as the whole.

Why was Ning Fengzhi able to win over Chen Xin and Gu Rong?

By calculation? Or by interests? Neither! Calculation and interests can only win over lackeys; they cannot make friends, let alone find comrades who share life and death.

But Qian Renxue mistakenly thought that as long as she controlled the interests, she controlled everything.

The result was that she never regarded anyone as a friend, and no one regarded her as a friend.

Nan Feng had once tried hard to change Qian Renxue's twisted ideology, and he had seen it too, so during that time, he did not stop the contact between Nan Feng and Qian Renxue.

However, this child was too stubborn!

She was blinded by jealousy and anger, completely unable to see what Nan Feng wanted her to see.

She only saw Nan Feng teasing those little girls in Tiandou City all day long.

So later, Nan Feng simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her.

But Qian Renxue mistakenly thought this was Nan Feng playing hard to get.

The result was that they grew further and further apart; perhaps they once had a chance to get closer, but those chances were all thrown away by Qian Renxue herself.

She did not care, yet she wanted to obtain it.

What she wanted was not friends, but merely the sense of satisfaction from being surrounded.

In Nan Feng's words, regarding affection and desire, Qian Renxue did not care for the former and looked down upon the latter, but in reality, she only possessed the latter.

Qian Renxue only wanted to control and possess; as for whether the other party would feel pain because of this control, she did not care.

A person who only has themselves in their eyes, who would be willing to become friends with her?

"Alright, the matter of war is no longer possible; if you are still interested in these things, the position of Pope is vacant, if you want it..."

"I want to start the Angel God Trial," Qian Renxue interrupted.

Qian Daoliu paused, "Are you sure you are ready?"

"Sure."

"For what?"

"To become a god."

"And then?"

"Revenge!"

"......" Qian Daoliu.

There is no saving him, truly. (End of chapter)
