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

Chapter 94 Trust itself is a meaningless false proposition.

Chapter 94 Trust itself is a meaningless false proposition.

Bibi Dong was stunned: "Why? What good will this do you?"

"It's neither good nor bad."

Nan Feng said calmly, "To me, it doesn't really make any difference; it's just a choice."

"In the past, you had no choice."

"You are Qian Xunji's student, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, a pawn manipulated by fate. Your life has only been about being chosen; you have never lived for yourself even for a single day."

But now, things are different.

"I've flipped the table for you, changed the rules, and taken back the power."

"I helped you gain the power of choice."

"So, how you choose, which path you choose, is not important."

"The important thing is—"

Which one do you prefer?

"As long as it's your own choice and it makes you feel good, then it's right."

Within the sea of ​​spirit, Bibi Dong stared blankly at him, as if something in her heart had shattered, and something else was quietly sprouting.

After a long silence, her eyes reddened slightly, and her voice held a hint of awkwardness as she tentatively asked, "Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?"

"Didn't you always force me before? You always made sarcastic remarks to me, and even tried to take control of my body."

"Why is everyone going along with me now?"

"ha----"

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter tinged with helplessness and self-deprecation.

"Little Dongdong, how come your memory is as bad as my spider brain?"

"I've told you many times before, my principles have never changed."

Nan Feng held up a finger and waved it in front of his eyes: "When it comes to our safety, when it comes to matters of life and death, I won't budge an inch. Even if you cry and scream that you want to die, I'll just slap you unconscious and do things my way. There's no room for discussion on that."

"But—as long as it doesn't involve safety issues, as long as it's not the kind of stupid thing that would kill us instantly."

"Then I don't mind making concessions, and I don't even mind spoiling you."

"If doing things your way makes you happier and reduces the resentment in your heart, then..."

"So, when we really face a life-or-death situation in the future, will you listen to my advice, stop arguing with me, and obediently cooperate with me to save your life?"

"Then this is the most cost-effective deal."

Nan Feng sighed, looking like he was being very rational: "I've always done it this way."

"My purpose, my course of action, and my principles have been clearly and plainly laid out before you from the very first day we met."

"I never intended to harm you; I just wanted to help you live on and live a better life."

At this point, Nan Feng paused, looked at himself in the mirror, and helplessly shrugged: "But you don't believe me."

"You always think I'm scheming against you, that I want to possess you, that I have ulterior motives."

"certainly----"

"It's not entirely your fault."

"After all, who told me to be a 100,000-year-old spider, full of lies and cunning?"

"You don't believe me, that's fine."

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time.

The vibrations transmitted through the deep bonds of their souls were so real and so stable that they caused cracks to appear in the solid defenses in her heart.

"This soul blood pact—"

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "How much more are you still hiding from me?"

"Tell what?"

Nan Feng rolled his eyes. "To be honest, whether you believe it or not, I only know how to use this stuff. As for how effective it is or whether it has any side effects, I didn't know that before I used it."

"Ultimately, this is a secret technique originating from ancient soul beasts."

"In my inherited memories, this thing was originally created by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan. That clan is extraordinary, known as the most powerful spiritual attribute soul beasts. It is said that their ancestors had the potential to ascend to godhood."

"But as you also know, the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

"Their overwhelming potential and spiritual talent aroused the jealousy and fear of the Dragon Clan, the rulers of the spirit beast world at the time."

.

"Later, the Heavenly Fox Clan was surrounded and slaughtered by the Dragon Clan under a pretext. The slaughter was so brutal that their bloodline was almost wiped out."

"After all, in ancient times, most of the powerful soul beast races that had the potential to threaten their dominance were slaughtered by the dragons. Those giant lizards were extremely arrogant and would never allow any race that dared to offend their supreme status to exist."

"After the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan was wiped out, the remaining Celestial Fox bloodline gradually declined. Later on, there were almost no descendants who could break through 100,000 years of cultivation."

"I learned this thing tens of thousands of years ago when a little celestial fox, unaware of its own limitations, accidentally wandered into the Death Canyon."

Nan Feng shrugged: "I caught that little guy. In exchange for his life, he taught me this secret technique etched into his bloodline."

O

"That's why I said I'm just a novice. As for what other effects this thing has besides sharing life and death, I'm not really sure."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong remained silent.

She quietly sensed the pure, unadulterated "truth" that flowed continuously from the connection of souls.

The feeling was wonderful; it was as if, even without words, she could vaguely sense the warmth or coldness of the other person's soul.

"Nanfeng".

Bibi Dong suddenly asked, "Can you sense my emotions? Or—can you sense which of my words are true and which are false?"

"ha?"

Nan Feng was stunned, looking at him like he was an idiot: "Big sister, are you alright? I can't read minds, how could I possibly know?"

"Besides, if I knew what you were thinking, how could I have caused that awkward situation before? I would have just gone along with it already, okay?"

At this point, Nan Feng seemed to suddenly realize something, looking at the mirror suspiciously: "Wait—why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Could it be... that you can sense something?"

Bibi Dong did not answer, but lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions in her eyes, as if it were a tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Nan Feng suppressed his playful expression.

He sat up, his expression turning unusually serious. "Bibi Dong, I advise you not to believe her."

"Even if this thing really has some miraculous effect, allowing you to sense so-called sincerity or falsehood, don't believe it."

Bibi Dong looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

Because sincerity is the cheapest thing in the world.

Nan Feng said calmly, "Truth and falsehood, love and hate, can be switched at any time."

People have a thousand faces, and their hearts are ever-changing.

"Even if what's sent this time is truly sincere, who knows if it might become fake the next second because of interests, the situation, or a single thought?"

Nan Feng pointed to the pitch-black night outside the window: "Aren't humans already making countless vows of eternal love?"

"No matter how earth-shattering or life-or-death the love is today, and how vows are made to be faithful until death, tomorrow they may turn against each other and never speak to each other again, or even draw their swords against each other, simply because they can't agree on a word or two, or because of some trivial gain."

Sincerity, in itself, cannot represent anything, nor can it guarantee any future.

"This thing is so cheap that anyone can just throw it out and anyone can just throw it away anytime."

Nan Feng stared into Bibi Dong's eyes and said, word by word, "Therefore, believing in sincerity and clinging to sincerity is a very foolish thing."

"Don't be fooled by that vague and unreal feeling."

"Only those with stable interests are truly trustworthy."

"But----"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, Bibi Dong frowned, seizing upon the loophole in Nan Feng's words: "Don't one's interests and stances also change?"

"When two people's needs no longer align, when circumstances change, even the once unbreakable alliance of interests can crumble instantly. Doesn't that so-called stability then become a joke?"

"Bingo! You got it right."

Nan Feng snapped his fingers, a look of admiration on his face, but then quickly replaced it with an indifferent expression as if he had seen through the ways of the world: "So, Bibi Dong."

"The word 'trust' is itself a meaningless false proposition."

"It is not an objectively existing contract, but a subjective choice."

Nan Feng sat up and pointed to his temple: "When you're willing to believe something, even if it's fake, even if it's full of loopholes, you'll automatically find reasons to cover it up. You'll turn a blind eye, and you'll be loyal to it until death."

"But when you refuse to believe it, even if it is true, even if all the facts are laid bare before you, you will subconsciously deny it, you will question it, you will nitpick, until—you put the facts aside."
