Chapter 360 Little Bai, Willing to Become a Slave; I'm Sorry, Mom
Lan Fuzi did not act immediately, but subconsciously turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao beside her.
After receiving a reassuring look from the other party, she finally let go of his hand and flew towards her mother, throwing herself into the Demon Emperor's arms.
Feeling the vibrant life force of his daughter in his arms, not the cold corpse he had imagined, the bloodlust in the Demon Emperor's eyes faded considerably.
The suffocating aura of violence emanating from him dissipated, and he became much gentler. He held his daughter tightly and whispered in a trembling voice:
"My son, I was so scared just now, so scared that I would never see you again. If anything happened to you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"Well……"
Suffocating from her mother's choking, Lan Fuzi's voice became unusually muffled as she struggled to speak:
"Mom, I'm fine, look, I'm still as lively as ever..."
Just as the Demon Emperor was checking on Lan Fuzi to see if he had been injured and had no time to attend to anything else, Xiao Bai silently swam up to Huo Yuhao.
A surge of gray-blue light transformed back into that graceful human figure.
Then, to Huo Yuhao's slightly surprised gaze, she knelt on one knee, lowered her head slightly, and said with unprecedented respect in her tone:
"My lord, I know that my request is unreasonable, even excessive, but I, Xiaobai, still implore you to protect my Demon Soul Great White Shark clan..."
At this point, Xiaobai slightly raised her head, her gray-blue eyes filled with determination.
She reached out and gestured towards the empty sea, and the Sea God's Helmet, which had been drifting on the sea after Chen Xinjie's fall, was drawn into her hand.
"In exchange for this transaction, I, Little White, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, am willing to give my body, soul, and everything that this body possesses to you without reservation."
From this day forward, I will be loyal to you and dedicate everything to you until the end of my life!
As the vow was uttered, Xiaobai gripped the helmet tightly with sudden force.
The sea god's helmet, already riddled with cracks from the shattering of the sea god's authority and the baptism of thunder, was completely shattered into countless fragments by Xiaobai's full grip, scattering into the deep sea.
Seeing her mother's resolute loyalty, Bai Xiuxiu was so shocked that she almost froze on the spot.
She couldn't understand why her mother would make such a choice.
Even though Xiao Bai had followed two generations of sea gods, in Bai Xiuxiu's view, the relationship between the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the sea gods was more of a mutually beneficial one of equal cooperation.
But what my mother just said clearly indicated that she was willing to give up her dignity and treat herself like a slave, to serve this humanoid dragon wholeheartedly.
Especially in Bai Xiuxiu's little brain, which had read many forbidden books about humans, many negative impressions about the dragon race flashed through her mind.
There are all sorts of rumors about dragons being inherently lustful, having an extremely perverse desire to conquer lower races, and spreading their bloodline as easily as eating and drinking...
If one's own mother were to fall into the hands of the other party in such a humble manner.
Given her mother's beautiful appearance, according to the terrible plots in those human storybooks, her mother would probably be locked in some dark and sunless secret room and tortured day and night.
God!
Wouldn't that mean that in just a few years, I'll inexplicably have a whole bunch of half-sisters?
The thought of that bleak future made Bai Xiuxiu feel like the whole shark was going to collapse.
If my mother hadn't specifically and sternly instructed me not to interrupt no matter what happened, I wouldn't have been able to.
She now desperately wanted to rush up and shout, "Come to me if anything happens, so I can take my mother's place and prevent her from falling into the clutches of evil!"
Faced with Xiaobai's inexplicable show of loyalty, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of sympathy.
Even if one could vaguely guess the reason for Xiaobai's unusual behavior at this moment.
But in Bai Xiuxiu's wide-open eyes not far away, there was a strange accusation that read, "You big bad guy, aren't you already itching to do something inappropriate for children to my mother?"
Coupled with the oppressive sky and heavy atmosphere around him, Huo Yuhao felt that no matter how he looked at it, he looked a bit like a villainous leader taking advantage of others.
A strange sense of helplessness welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart. He subconsciously rubbed his slightly throbbing temples and sighed softly:
"Get up first. Lan Fuzi has already explained this matter to me in detail. She also doesn't want to see her mother lose herself in hatred."
Besides, she pleaded with me to intervene and prevent this tragedy. Therefore, I will do everything in my power to resolve this situation; you don't need to treat me this way in exchange for protection.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's blunt rejection, Xiao Bai's face showed a hint of anxiety.
There is no free lunch in this world, especially in the dog-eat-dog world of soul beasts, where it is a bloody and ironclad rule.
Moreover, even if this lord kindly helped them through this crisis, what about next time?
Now that the power of the Sea God has been completely shattered, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan has not only lost its greatest backer, but also the remaining prestige left by the former Sea God has vanished.
In this perilous deep sea, the Deep Sea Whale clan is not the only one plotting against the Great White Shark clan.
Those mortal enemies who were once suppressed, such as the Demon Orca clan, would definitely pounce on them without hesitation and tear them to shreds once they got wind of it.
The Great White Shark clan must find a sufficiently powerful ally to attach themselves to as soon as possible.
The mysterious true dragon before them, who came from the land and whose strength was unfathomable, and who even the Beast God Di Tian was willing to obey, was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Thinking of this, Xiaobai lowered his eyes slightly and said in an increasingly respectful and urgent tone, "My lord, I also know that everything I have is probably nothing to a strong person like you."
But since you plan to reshape the position of the Sea God, I, Xiaobai, although weak, am not entirely useless.
I once followed the first sea god and know how to activate some of the remaining altars on Seagod Island. If you are willing to accept us, it might unexpectedly help your plans.
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiaobai's words.
Seeing how Xiaobai looked like she wanted to give her heart away, he was genuinely worried that the Great White Shark might think he wasn't enough and wanted to include Bai Xiuxiu as an extra.
"In that case, let's use the way this altar was opened as our reward. That will be enough."
Rainy Night Floating Light presents "Douluo: Rebirth of Yu Hao, Their Eyes Are Strange", exclusively published by Cola Novels!
However, upon hearing Huo Yuhao's easy agreement, Xiaobai did not feel joy. Instead, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes revealing an almost stubborn insistence, and said:
"No, my lord! I truly and willingly wish to serve you. Only in this way can I live in peace in the future."
As the saying goes, you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog.
If the method of opening the altar is really just used as a bargaining chip.
How much weight will this fragile exchange of interests carry in the face of a future crisis of genocide?
How can we deepen the bond between the Great White Shark Clan and this humanoid dragon?
Seeing that Xiaobai was acting as if he would kneel down and never get up unless you accepted him, especially since he caught a glimpse of Lan Fuzi's side out of the corner of his eye and it seemed that the plan they had agreed on was about to begin.
Huo Yuhao could only sigh helplessly and nod in agreement.
He secretly grumbled to himself, thinking that this was the first time he had ever seen someone so eager to beg to be his "slave."
But then I thought, I won't be coming to this deep sea often anyway.
If I accept it, I'll just keep it as a formality. I don't think anything untoward will happen.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finally agreed, Xiaobai's previously tense lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved and joyful smile. He immediately changed his tune and said:
"Then, my lord, what methods do you have to help our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan escape this certain death predicament?"
Xiao Bai wasn't stupid; she would never naively believe that the Demon Emperor would show mercy and spare the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan simply because Lan Fuzi was safe and sound.
Huo Yuhao simply raised his eyes to look at Lan Fuzi and the Demon Emperor, and said gently, "Don't worry, Lan Fuzi's side should be starting soon."
Upon hearing this, both Xiaobai and Bai Xiuxiu showed a hint of confusion.
At this moment, Lan Fuzi looked at her mother, who was filled with worry and checking herself up and down to see if she had been hurt, but the strange demonic markings on her body had not disappeared.
Taking a deep breath, he whispered, his voice trembling slightly:
"Mom, don't worry, I'm really fine. You should go back to Devil's Island as soon as possible. The aura of destruction emanating from you is getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, you won't be able to suppress the evil thoughts within you."
After carefully checking several times and confirming that Lan Fuzi had no wounds and that his breathing was even stable, the Demon Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when her gaze shifted slightly and she caught sight of Xiaobai not far away, the blood-red halo that had faded in her eyes began to surge violently again.
"Buddha's disciple, it's good that you're alright."
The Demon Emperor's voice was filled with gritted teeth and hatred, "But these lackeys of the Sea God killed your father back then, and now they intend to harm you."
Seeing that the demonic markings on her mother's body seemed to be summoned by something, and once again emitted a strange purple-gold light, that suffocating and violent aura swept out again.
Lan Fuzi looked at her mother's increasingly unfamiliar face, recalling the content of Huo Yuhao's telepathic communication earlier, and a resolute look flashed in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mom. But even if I have to face hell next to save you, I will never regret it!"
Taking advantage of the Demon Emperor's attention being diverted by his anger once again, Lan Fuzi quietly flipped his right hand behind his back, and a vertical pupil emitting an eerie blood-red aura appeared out of thin air.
The next instant, before the Demon Emperor could even sense anything was wrong, Lan Fuzi's right hand suddenly shot out, and he recklessly pressed the Demon Eye hard against the Demon Emperor's heart.
Sensing his daughter's sudden unusual behavior and the strange suction force coming from his chest, the Demon Emperor's eyes were instantly filled with disbelief and shock.
"Buddha's disciple, what are you doing...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly became like a soul-guided gun that had jammed.
The demonic runes on his body began to flicker violently and uncontrollably, and the purple-gold aura he emitted instantly became extremely intense, accompanied by the voice of the Rakshasa God echoing in the void.
"Hehehe, although these evil thoughts aren't much of a problem for the little guy, they're at least a decent after-dinner snack for my current state."
Little girl, remember to stay away. Don't go near anything you see. Be careful that those overflowing evil thoughts don't affect you. If they scare you, I won't be able to explain myself to the little one.
Lan Fuzi hurriedly took a few steps back.
Within the purple-gold light emanating from the Demon Emperor, wisps of eerie, blood-red radiance began to emerge.
Two completely different lights intertwined in the air, quickly forming a huge cocoon of light that completely enveloped the Demon Emperor's body.
"Alright, little one, I've prepared the appetizer for you. How you eat the main course is up to you. After all, those deep-rooted evil thoughts within her eventually need an outlet."
Upon hearing the voice of the Rakshasa God, Xiao Bai and Bai Xiuxiu, who were already stunned by the sudden change, were startled again.
Huo Yuhao did not intend to offer any further explanation.
With a flash of silver light, his figure vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Lan Fuzi.
Just as he was about to step forward and reach out to touch the cocoon of light.
Lan Fuzi reached out and tightly grasped Huo Yuhao's sleeve, her eyes filled with unease and hope, and said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, will it succeed? My mother, can she really come back?"
Huo Yuhao didn't turn around, but said firmly, "Trust me. I will bring back the gentle mother you remember, completely and intact."
As Lan Fuzi released his grip, he no longer hesitated, and his entire body transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the cocoon of light.
……
Inside the cocoon of light.
Warmth, like the gentlest afternoon sunlight piercing through the deep sea and falling upon you.
It's like a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers in spring, lightly brushing against your cheek.
A long-lost warmth was flowing through the Demon Emperor's icy body, slowly melting the heart that had been frozen by evil thoughts.
Feeling this long-lost tranquility, the Demon Emperor, in a semi-conscious state, couldn't help but slightly open his lips and let out a comfortable groan.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to tens of thousands of years ago, to that wonderful time when she swam carefree in the sea.
There was no threat from the sea god, nor any deep-seated hatred that needed to be avenged.
