The Demon Empress

In the Demon Whale Sea Area, on a nameless reef island.

In the center of the reef, on a rock scorched hot by the sun, a young girl lay basking in the warmth.

She had flowing, deep blue hair and a face as delicate as a porcelain doll. Her large, sparkling eyes were half-closed as she enjoyed the warmth of the sun.

She was Lan Fozi, the young princess of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan.

Although she was a Deep Sea Demon Whale by nature, she did not like staying in the dark depths of the ocean.

She preferred coming to the small islands on the surface to sunbathe and enjoy the sunlight.

Beside her, on a wide lounge chair, a stunning, mature woman with a proud figure, dressed in a bikini, was resting with her eyes closed.

Her hands were covered in dark purple magic patterns, eerie and mysterious.

She was the Demon Empress of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Mom," Lan Fozi turned over and tilted her head to look at her mother.

"Are you okay? You've been accompanying me almost every day for the past few years, never cultivating, and never staying by Dad's side. I'm grown up now; I'm not a child anymore, you don't need to stay with me every day."

The Demon Empress opened her eyes, her deep purple pupils filled with tenderness.

She reached out and gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Child, no matter how old you are, in Mom's eyes, you will always be a child."

Lan Fozi nodded obediently and said nothing more.

What she did not know was that her mother had not been cultivating these past few years because she had found a better way to do so.

That was to practice the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique with that man in the Dream Space.

Because she often had to engage in frantic exchanges with Brother Cao day and night, she always appeared very exhausted.

Fortunately, it was all worth it; her cultivation base was skyrocketing, hundreds of times faster than the bitter, painstaking cultivation in reality.

According to Brother Cao, she was the first soul beast to set foot in the Dream Space.

The Demon Empress closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly as she immersed herself in the wonderful moments of the Dream Space.

Just then.

"BOOM!!!"

Above the firmament, the Sky Screen surged, and a new ranking slowly appeared.

[Combat Power Ranking, 6th Place: Demon Empress.]
[Identity: Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King (can freely switch between human and soul beast forms).]
[Strength: 990,000 years.]
[Techniques: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance.]
[Rewards: Teleportation Talisman ×10, can teleport to any location on Douluo Continent; cultivation age increased by 10,000 years, immunity to heavenly tribulation; Divine Skill: Ocean Power, can suppress all sea soul beasts.]

Lan Fozi sat up abruptly, her large, sparkling eyes wide with shock.

She looked at her mother's name on the Sky Screen, then at her mother, who was shrouded in golden light.

"Ah? Mom, you're on the list? Then, what about that Brother Cao?"

The Demon Empress slowly opened her eyes amidst the golden light and looked down at her daughter, showing no shame for her infidelity.

Soul beasts were indeed soul beasts.

She reached out and gently stroked her daughter's cheek. "That's right, Mom has already been persuaded by Brother Cao. You should call him Uncle Cao from now on, you know?"

Lan Fozi opened her mouth, but before she could speak—

"RUMBLE!!!"

A monstrous wave suddenly erupted on the sea surface!

A pitch-black, gargantuan creature lunged out from the depths of the ocean. Its massive body blotted out the sky, and its eyes were filled with tyranny and rage!

The one who arrived was none other than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!

"Bitch!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's voice roared like ten thousand thunders, exploding across the sea surface. "You dare to betray This Seat!"

Having devoured countless soul beasts, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had long since become exceptionally tyrannical.

At this moment, his eyes burned with raging fire as he stared fixedly at the Demon Empress in the golden light.

"No wonder you've been running out these past few years and stopped cultivating. So you were with a wild man!" His voice grew increasingly violent. "Bitch, you dare to cuckold This Seat? Go to hell!"

Before he could finish speaking, he opened his giant maw, and a jet-black beam of energy shot out, heading straight for the Demon Empress!

The terrifying momentum caused even the space itself to tremble!

The Demon Empress frowned slightly and waved her hand gently.

"BANG!!!"

That energy beam, which possessed enough power to destroy the world, shattered instantly before her as if it were made of paper!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body was forced back repeatedly by the recoil, stirring up monstrous waves on the sea.

The Demon Empress withdrew her hand and said indifferently, "You are no longer my match."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a furious roar and lunged forward once again!

The Demon Empress sighed softly, extended her right hand, and a dark purple beam of light erupted forth with a thunderous boom!

"BOOM!!!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, slamming violently into the sea and kicking up waves a hundred feet high! A shocking palm print was left imprinted on his chest, from which blood surged wildly.

The Demon Empress withdrew her hand and looked at the severely wounded Deep Sea Demon Whale King; there was no hatred in her eyes, only a trace of faint pity.

In the original fate, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was killed by Tang San and became his soul ring.

She herself, in order to avenge the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, had become the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, vowing to destroy the entire Douluo Continent as an act of vengeance.

Later, she was possessed by the Abyssal Sage Monarch and killed her daughter, Lan Fozi—a truly tragic fate.

Fortunately, she had met Brother Cao; she lived only for Brother Cao in this life, to repay him.

"For the sake of Lan Fozi, I will spare your life. Go."

She turned around and looked at her daughter: "Child, our little family has collapsed. Come with Mother to find your Uncle Cao."

Lan Fozi stared blankly at her mother, her brain still in a state of shock.

The Demon Empress smiled slightly, leaned down, and whispered in her ear: "When you grow up a little more, the two of us mother and daughter can cultivate together—wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Lan Fozi's face turned bright red in an instant: "Mom! What are you saying!"

The Demon Empress laughed heartily, scooped up her daughter, activated a Teleportation Talisman, and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing from the surface of the sea.

On the ocean, only the severely wounded body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King remained, bobbing amidst the waves.

He stared at the vanishing streak of light, his eyes filled with fury and resentment.

As the dignified overlord of the sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had actually been cuckolded!

The entire continent had witnessed this drama of a husband and wife turning against each other, completely igniting the gossip-hungry hearts of all the onlookers.

"As expected of Brother Cao, his powers of persuasion are just too strong! He even managed to persuade the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife, hehehe!"

"Tsk tsk, this Demon Empress is truly a stunner, so spirited! I envy Brother Cao every single day! This life, tsk tsk..."

"Hehehe, it's just that this Lan Fozi is still young, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Speak clearly!"

"You know what I mean! Hehehe!"

"His wife ran off with someone else, his daughter calls another man Uncle Cao—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is just too pathetic!"

Sea God Island, Sea God Hall.

Bo Saixi stood before the window, gazing at the enchanting figure of the Demon Empress on the Sky Screen, lost in thought.

Ocean Power could suppress all sea soul beasts.

Isn't this stealing my livelihood? The corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

But it didn't matter; she didn't care for it anyway, and she wouldn't mind stepping down as the High Priestess of the Sea God.

She turned around, looking at the empty Sea God Hall and the majestic statue of the Sea God, a flash of relief crossing her eyes.

It would be soon; her time was coming soon, too.
