Although Gao Peng was now in control of its body, through Gao Pengâs vision, Fatty Big Sea could keenly see the moment Windstorm Water Magic Spider, which had been walking around, stop in its step.
âDay and night, each time the sun and the moon start a new cycle, within that cold temple, my heart feels although it has been whipped. I question myself over and over again.â Fatty Big Seaâs small eyes were deeply emotiveâthese small eyes were its most attractive asset.
âYou would actually question yourself?â the Windstorm Water Magic Spider mocked. âDear father, when did you learn to lie?â
My daughter is pretty smart. Fatty Big Sea, who was overhearing this conversation, was suddenly quite pleased.
âIf thereâs one thing in the world that I regret, itâs what I said in the temple that day.â The expression on Fatty Big Seaâs face remained unchanged, but its voice began to tremble. âAs a father, I spoke so coldly to my daughter.â
Fatty Big Sea was astounded. This was too shameless.
âDad has done you wrong. Dad was wrong,â Gao Peng said painfully, Fatty Big Seaâs small eyes blurred with tears.@@novelbin@@
Wait a minute... A**hole, this is my daughter! Fatty Big Sea Fat suddenly reacted. Gao Peng, you thief, youâre taking advantage of me! You have bad intentions!
Donât make a scene. Iâm helping you save your family, Gao Peng said to Fatty Big Sea through the Blood Contract, reminding it not to come out and make trouble at this time. Fatty Big Sea was furious, but it knew that this wasnât the time to emerge and create trouble, so it silently hid in the mental sea to watch Gao Pengâs dramatic acting.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spiderâs body shook as if it had heard a joke. Shrill laughter echoed in the deep sea.
âYou would admit that you were wrong? Are you really my father? Hahaha, youâgod of storms and tidesâwould apologize.â
Looking at this scene, Fatty Big Sea thought in his heart that he truly was being impersonated.
After laughing, the Windstorm Water Magic Spider gently stepped on the water net and walked over to Fatty Big Sea. In the light of its eyes and at such a close distance, Gao Peng could finally see how it looked.
It wasnât very big, about 65 feet in diameter. The spiderâs legs accounted for most of its size, so its actual body was a small proportion of its entire size. Its bluish-black body was full of dark shades, so one could only clearly see the front. The body behind it remained hidden in the dark; only the silhouette could be seen.
Its eight eyes were in a semi-circle in front of its face, and the teeth in its mouth werenât too exaggerated, but what caught his attention were the spider claws!
The slender spider claws were like perfect killers, filled with a certain aesthetic beauty. The sharp barbs hooked upward individually, the crescent-shaped barbs protruding upward at the joints, like slender Samurai knives. Its claws would be swift and graceful when used to kill people.
âMy dear father, I suddenly find you to be a little cute.â The Windstorm Water Magic Spider shifted its face over, a cold and humid sensation spreading over Fatty Big Seaâs scales.
After that, the Windstorm Water Magic Spiderâs four legs straightened and stretched out. It might have been an illusion, but at this moment, Gao Peng seemed to have seen a beautiful, elegant lady stretching in the sea. Hey, this was still a spider! Gao Peng had chills. It had to be Fatty Big Seaâs senses that were affecting him.
âDoesnât she hate me?â Fatty Big Sea was in a state of confusion. Gao Peng, that jerk, had said a series of things that made him feel shameless and grossed out, and now all their past grudges were water under the bridge? This creatureâs IQ is too low! Is this my daughter?
âLeave. Iâm in a good mood today; Iâll spare your life, but your flowery words wonât work next time.â The Windstorm Water Magic Spider turned to climb back into the depths of the endless ocean abyss.
âYou know, I thought about making up for the words that I said years ago, but I was too proud at that time.â Gao Peng sighed. Fatty Big Seaâs round head was made for dramatics. âSo I merely spread the story about you being my daughter to all the high-level monsters in the whole ocean, because I know they still honor my reputation.â
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider slowed its steps.
âIâm in trouble now. I thought long and hard, and the only thing in the world that can hinder me is you,â Gao Peng said affectionately.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider laughed as if it had heard a good joke. âYou think Iâll help you? I canât wait to eat you.â
âEat me then,â Gao Peng suddenly said. âI would rather be eaten by you than by the ants I used to despise. After all, youâre my only relative in this world.â
Damn it! Fatty Big Sea panicked. This is my body!
Gao Peng, you better stop it, Fatty Big Sea shouted wildly into its mental sea.
Rest assured; I know what Iâm doing, Gao Peng pacified Fatty Big Sea, hoping to keep it out of trouble for now.
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider became quiet for a moment, then its hoarse voice slowly said, âThatâs what you said. You want to be eaten by me.â
âI only want to be eaten by you.â
It was uncertain if it believed Fatty Big Sea or saw through his tricks. The Windstorm Water Magic Spider turned its head and said, âYou can only be my food. Other monsters arenât qualified. Iâm curious to see who would want to rob me of my food.â
The Windstorm Water Magic Spider then continued walking toward the ocean abyss. âWait for me here, and Iâll clean up the back garden, lest the food gets mischievous when I leave.â
When the Windstorm Water Magic Spider went away, Fatty Big Sea took over its body again. It didnât know what to say, and every thought in its heart could be put into one sentence: âGao Peng, Gao Peng, I had underestimated you.â
Gao Peng rolled his eyes. You created your own family problems and I needed to clean up after you.
If the Windstorm Water Magic Spider had seen Fatty Big Sea and immediately tried to kill it, then trying to appease it and see if there was any way to recover the relationship was a priority. But if there was no direct attempt to kill Fatty Big Sea, that would mean it still had feelings for Fatty Big Sea. Love gave rise to hate.
Thinking about it, a child who had been deprived of her fatherâs love since childhood, no matter how much she hated her father, deep down, would still long for her fatherâs love.
Fatty Big Sea was also stubborn and hadnât changed its mindset after all these years, always talking about its personal achievements, a narcissist. Even if it knew that it was wrong, it would keep at it just to maintain its dignity. Actually, it wasnât difficult to talk things through and admit oneâs own mistakes; they were family after all.
Gao Peng, on the contrary, was very clear about this. He wasnât a male chauvinist. What was right was right, what was wrong was wrong, and if he had done something wrong, he would admit to it. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was worse to know that he was in the wrong but refused to relent.
However, Gao Peng knew that it would take more than a day or two to change Fatty Big Fishâs character, so this required time.
