The Aggrieved Deep Sea Demonic Whale King

He recalled the sensation from just now.

When he swung that trident down, a force had suddenly entered his body, supporting his hands and completing that strike for him.

That force had come quickly and vanished just as fast. His body was empty now, with nothing left inside, as if everything that had just happened had been an illusion.

But the shattered deserted island in the distance, and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King embedded in its center, were clearly not illusions.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King pulled its head out of the rubble and shook the dust from its head, its single eye filled with confusion.

What had just happened?

It remembered that boy charging over with the trident raised. It remembered a blue light suddenly bursting out the instant the trident came down, and then it had been sent flying.

The whole process had been too fast. Before its mind could process it, its body had already been embedded in an island.

What was that light?

That little brat could not possibly possess that kind of power.

If he truly had that power, his first two moves would not have failed to even pierce its eyelid.

Yet that blue light had undeniably erupted from his body. That pressure, which made every scale on its body stand on end, carried a disgusting aura it could not forget even after a hundred thousand years.

Wait.

The Sea God?

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King slowly narrowed its single eye, its expression shifting from confusion to suspicion, from suspicion to fury, and finally from fury to an indescribable grievance.

"You—" Its voice came from the direction of the deserted island, hoarse like sandpaper scraping glass. "You cheated!"

Jiang Lan stood on the deck, gripping the trident with both hands and looking up at the enraged giant beast in the distance. His expression was as innocent as a puppy caught stealing food.

"I didn't cheat." Jiang Lan spoke seriously. "I did that myself."

"Bullshit! That strike wasn't your power!" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared as it struggled out of the rubble, sending stones flying across the entire deserted island. "It was that man! It was the Sea God! It had to be him!"

Jiang Lan tilted his head. "What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? I am the evidence!" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King trembled with rage. "The same move, the same force—how could I not recognize it? That bastard used this very move to smash me three thousand meters beneath the sea back then! The exact same technique, the exact same aura! Even the angle was identical!"

"The angle being the same doesn't prove anything." Jiang Lan analyzed with a straight face. "Maybe I'm simply extraordinarily talented and managed to strike with the same style as my big brother."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was so furious it nearly coughed up blood. It took a deep breath and forced itself to calm down.

It could not win an argument with this little brat. They had bickered several times already, and it had not won once. Besides, it still had half a collapsed deserted island perched on its head. It had already lost far too much in terms of presence.

"Fine, let's say you did it yourself." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King suppressed its anger. "The three moves are over..."

Jiang Lan waved a hand. "Mister, aren't you forgetting something?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King asked in confusion, "What?"

Jiang Lan answered, "Our bet."

In that instant, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King felt incomparably aggrieved.

It felt like a complete fool, toyed with by the Sea God and the Sea God's son.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had no intention of breaking the wager, mainly because he cared about his pride.

If Jiang Lan had been someone in his twenties, he would definitely have shamelessly eaten Jiang Lan.

But Jiang Lan was only six years old, even younger than his daughter. If he broke the wager, he would be too embarrassed to call himself the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

How could a king bully a hatchling?

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King took a deep breath and said to Jiang Lan, "Fine. Wait here."

After saying that, he leaped forcefully back into the sea.

Before long, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared before Jiang Lan again.

Jiang Lan and Doro watched the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King curiously, wondering what he would give them.

A black object shot rapidly toward Jiang Lan from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's direction.

Just as Jiang Lan thought it was about to smash into his face, the object stopped.

Only then did Jiang Lan see what it was.

It was a blue fruit. It looked utterly ordinary, yet it gave off an extraordinary feeling.

Jiang Lan caught the fruit and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King answered irritably, "A Ten Thousand Year Begonia Fruit."

As he introduced it, his heart ached terribly.

He had prepared this item for his daughter, yet it had unexpectedly gone to this brat.

Jiang Lan nodded, put the begonia fruit away, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait—"

Hearing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Jiang Lan looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he wanted.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at Jiang Lan. "Do you dare make another bet with me?"

Zi Zhenzhu, standing on the ship, wanted to speak up and stop them. But upon sensing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's pressure, she immediately fainted.

Jiang Lan asked curiously, "What kind of bet?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King replied, "We'll bet on whether you can injure me with one move. If you can injure me, I'll give you two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones."

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones were completely useless to him. He had quite a few soul bones, so giving Jiang Lan two was no big deal.

The reason he wanted to bet with Jiang Lan again was because he knew that idiot Sea God was secretly helping Jiang Lan. This time, he planned to use the Sea God's help to make Jiang Lan die in the aftermath of the battle.

The thought of the Sea God's son dying at the Sea God's own hands made the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King incomparably excited.

When Jiang Lan heard about the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, his eyes lit up, though he also became wary.

He felt that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King harbored ill intentions and wanted to harm him, but he was no match for the other party at all.

"Accept it."

At that moment, an incomparably majestic voice rang out beside his ear.

Hearing that voice, Jiang Lan felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Jiang Lan nodded. "Fine, but you have to agree to one condition."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King agreed without a second thought. "Sure. Anything."

Seeing how readily the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King agreed, Jiang Lan said, "Close your eyes and give me half an hour to gather strength."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King agreed without hesitation, then closed his eyes and waited.

He was not worried that Jiang Lan would run away. Jiang Lan's every move remained within his perception.

Besides, Jiang Lan was not faster than him.

Thinking of this, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King became exceedingly smug, completely failing to notice anything amiss.

Seeing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King close his eyes, Jiang Lan immediately grabbed Doro and quietly ran aboard the ship.

"Mister, get the ship moving! Run!"

Jiang Lan lowered his voice, so anxious that he even forgot to add "ga."

The bearded man froze for a second, then instantly understood the situation through the instincts of a pirate captain who had spent years fleeing for his life.

This kid did not have any charged-up ultimate move at all. This kid was trying to run away.

"Turn the helm! Full sails! Move!" The bearded man shouted in a low voice at the helmsman while grabbing a nearby rope and starting to raise the sails.
