Deep Sea Demon Whale Lan Fozi [Seeking Follow-up!!!]

"Gurgle... just kill me!"

Hm?

Long Yuan paused, stunned by the strange noise coming from the Deep Sea Demon Whale beneath him.

What kind of bizarre development was this?

Although he wasn't sure if the creature's brain had been scrambled by fear, he confirmed one thing: this was a female whale.

Long Yuan slowly descended from the air and landed on the massive whale's back.

However, the moment he made contact, the island-sized Deep Sea Demon Whale shuddered violently, instinctively attempting to dive, which kicked up massive waves on the sea surface.

Seeing its intent, Long Yuan stomped his right foot down hard, unleashing his Dragon Might once more: "Stay put!"

Perhaps the stimulus of the Dragon Might brought it to its senses, as the Deep Sea Demon Whale abruptly halted its dive.

"Wooo—"

An indecipherable cry echoed across the ocean, and a thick column of water erupted from its blowhole.

"Speak. You've kept a typhoon anchored here—what is your objective? If you don't give me an explanation, prepare to die!"

Long Yuan's voice was icy, carrying an unquestionable majesty. He channeled his Dragon Might again, and his golden Dragon Qi Shield condensed into something nearly tangible, like countless golden chains, binding the Deep Sea Demon Whale's body tight.

"I, I was just playing in the ocean. When I passed by here, I suddenly felt something attracting me, so I decided to stay for a while. As for the typhoon, I really didn't bring it here on purpose! To avoid being observed, I had no choice but to keep the typhoon here..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale recounted its reasons in a pitiful tone.

It had never considered what problems a typhoon might cause; after all, it was just a whale, and it didn't live on land.

Moreover, the conflict between soul beasts and humans was long-standing, and it didn't feel that its actions were wrong.

It was just that it had been caught by a "human" this time, so it could only blame its own bad luck. That was why it had said "kill me" earlier.

Something was attracting it?

Long Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "You can take human form, can't you?"

"I can..."

As soon as the words fell, countless water-blue rays of light erupted from its body. The massive form gradually shrank, finally transforming into a human figure that landed before Long Yuan.

This is...

A rare flash of astonishment crossed Long Yuan's eyes.

The human-formed Deep Sea Demon Whale had shoulder-length hair and skin as delicate and fair as snow. Her eyes were as clear as the ocean, a pure water-blue that seemed to contain the mysteries of the deep sea. Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, her legs slim. She wore a flowing, light-blue dress that looked like moving seawater, accentuating her agile and charming temperament.

Unlike the typically violent Deep Sea Demon Whale, Long Yuan could actually sense a hint of peace radiating from her.

Possessing such a unique temperament while belonging to the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, a realization dawned on Long Yuan: "Do you have a name?"

"A name?" She bit her finger blankly. "I remember, my mom and dad gave me a name a long time ago..."

"It seems to be... it's called..."

"Lan Fozi?"

"Right! That's it, Lan Fozi!" The young girl clapped her hands, jumped twice in delight, and then froze. "Wait, no, how did you know?"

So it really is the daughter of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Emperor from the original story...

Watching Lan Fozi's eyes suddenly turn wary, Long Yuan sighed helplessly.

This isn't right, is it? Why does he only ever run into people with such low intelligence?

Looking at that innocent expression, a sense of guilt couldn't help but rise in Long Yuan's heart.

"I see! Then, then I'll go with you!"

In the end, under Long Yuan's silver-tongued (manipulative) persuasion, Lan Fozi successfully spilled everything she knew.

It turned out that Lan Fozi had been living in the deep sea all these years. Perhaps she had been protected too well, which resulted in her somewhat naive personality.

After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a million-year soul beast and the true King of the Sea; how could he ever let his daughter be in danger?

Even after the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was killed by Tang San, she still had her mother. Relying on the Whale Pearl left behind by her father, although life was a bit hard and she was occasionally hunted, she hadn't actually faced any major danger.

Later, the Demon Emperor became the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and left Lan Fozi to live in the ocean alone. By then, Lan Fozi already possessed nearly 300,000 years of cultivation, and combined with the terrifying innate talents of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, she was one of those who could do as she pleased in the ocean.

Not long ago, after receiving a voice transmission from her mother, Lan Fozi took human form and came to the mainland. However, she didn't see her mother this time. According to an uncle she met who smelled entirely of dead bodies, her mother had gone into seclusion.

"A guy who smelled like a corpse?" Long Yuan scratched his head.

"Yeah, that person was always wearing armor and had gray mist coming off his whole body." Lan Fozi recalled the person's features.

Always wearing armor and smelling like a corpse—could it be Pluto Douluo Halosa?

Long Yuan speculated to himself. As for why Lan Fozi didn't see her mother, connecting it to the events of the original story, he guessed the Demon Emperor must have gone mad again.

After all, the Holy Spirit Cult didn't have the medicine to stabilize emotions at this time.

Of course, if you ask how Long Yuan persuaded (manipulated) Lan Fozi, it was naturally by reasoning with her.

He started by reasoning with her physically using his Dragon Might and his fists.

Then, he lectured her on a bunch of grand principles, such as the greatness of the Dragon Clan and, most crucially, the origins of soul beasts.

Coupled with Long Yuan using his divine sense to etch the once-majestic figure of the Golden Dragon King into her Sea of Consciousness, he settled the matter with ease.

"Master, where are we going now?"

On the road, Lan Fozi held Long Yuan's hand and asked cautiously.

Through Long Yuan's efforts, Lan Fozi had successfully adopted the same title used by Di Tian and the others.

"I am taking you to meet another Master first. Remember to be respectful, understand?"

"Yes!"

Long Yuan looked back. Now that it had lost the support of Lan Fozi's power, the typhoon had begun to move slowly once again.

It was estimated that in a few hours, the outer spiral cloud bands would move away from East Sea City, and within a day at most, the torrential rain brought by this typhoon would cease entirely.

"Tsk, cutting Na'er's vacation short by five days all of a sudden—is that a bit too harsh?" Long Yuan scratched his head.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate to have Lan Fozi go back and pin the typhoon in place again right now.

"Forget it. I trust that Na'er and the vast number of workers and students in East Sea City will understand my good intentions."

Long Yuan flapped his wings, carrying Lan Fozi as he flew straight toward the direction of East Sea Academy.

As for Tang Wulin, he had already entrusted Lu Fengnian to look after him; as long as the boy didn't die, it would be fine.
