Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 372 The Demon Emperor's Intentions, Lan Fuzi's Solution

The tower master's office area on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda is completely different from the solemn and dignified atmosphere of the lower floors.

The entire floor is paved with rare star obsidian, which shimmers with a faint blue luster, as if the entire starry sky has been brought indoors.

On the east side is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can take in the entire scenery of Tianyuan City.

On the west side, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged with various classics on soul transformation, soul master cultivation, and so on.

In the central area, there is a set of tables and chairs made of thousand-year-old ironwood. The tabletop is as smooth as a mirror, and the life force flowing through the wood grain can be faintly seen.

These are spiritual materials that Brigitte specially sought out, which not only demonstrate the majesty of the tower master but also imply the endless cycle of life.

As Zhou Sichen led the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi into this place, ripples of spiritual energy floating in the air gently brushed over the three of them.

This is the core of the Spirit Pagoda, which is not only surrounded by multiple high-level soul tool barriers, but also by a defensive formation set up by Zhou Sichen using necromancy. Ordinary soul masters cannot approach it without permission.

"You have the entire floor to yourself? That's quite a generous gesture." The Demon Emperor looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

She had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, seen the crystal palaces of the mermaid race, and ventured into the abyss, but she had never seen a space that so perfectly blended majesty and agility.

The calmness of the obsidian, the warmth of the ironwood, and the natural light brought in through the floor-to-ceiling windows intertwine to create a unique aura that commands respect without feeling oppressive.

Zhou Sichen smiled and sat down in the main seat: "As the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, I should have more dignity."

"Besides, this is not only my office, but also my meditation room, so it's always more convenient to have a larger space."

He gestured for the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi to take their seats, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, the tea set on the table began to turn on its own.

The silver pot floated in mid-air, and the spiritual spring water poured down from the pot's spout, creating a faint seven-colored halo when it fell into the jade cup.

This is a special effect of the spiritual tea that he specially created using the life essence of the living metal, which shows his thoughtfulness and elegance.

Lan Fuzi stared curiously at the dancing water, her eyes sparkling with childlike curiosity.

Over the past year, she has followed the Demon Emperor to all the big and small cities in the human world. From her initial curiosity about the hustle and bustle of the world to now being able to sit calmly on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda and drink tea, her mindset has quietly changed.

Today she wore a light blue gauze dress with delicate wave patterns embroidered on the hem, which rippled out like deep-sea waves as she ran.

With her face, which inherited the Demon Emperor's stunning beauty, she looked like a little princess who had just emerged from the deep sea.

The Demon Emperor sat opposite Zhou Sichen, his fingertips lightly tracing the rim of the jade cup.

The dark purple robe she wore had been replaced by a brocade dress often worn by noblewomen. Although she still carried an innate air of authority, she had lost some of the violence she once possessed.

Over the past year, she has witnessed firsthand how the Spirit Pagoda has changed the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts through the art of Soul Spirits.

He saw the warmth emanating from the Snow Emperor and Bi Ji, these ferocious beasts, around Zhou Sichen.

They also sensed the incredible fortune emanating from this young man, a fortune that even the gods could not restrain.

All of this gradually melted away her initial wariness.

"Level 80." The Demon Emperor suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible amazement: "It's only been two years since we first met, and you've already gone from level 70 to the Soul Douluo realm. Even Tang San back then couldn't match this speed."

She had seen too many exceptionally talented Soul Masters, but none of them had ever been like Zhou Sichen, whose every breakthrough was accompanied by an unstoppable force.

At level 60, he was able to condense a soul core and fight against a titled Douluo. At level 70, he had just formed a flawless golden body. Now at level 80, even a Limit Douluo would probably have to be wary of him.

Zhou Sichen pushed the brewed spiritual tea in front of the Demon Emperor. The tea soup was emerald green and clear, with a faint fragrance of orchids. "Senior, you flatter me."

"I only made this progress today because I had the advantage of the Book of Contracts martial spirit and the help of my seniors."

The Demon Emperor picked up her teacup and took a small sip. The spiritual tea transformed into a warm current as it entered her throat. The rich life force flowed slowly through her meridians, revitalizing her blood and qi, which had become somewhat sluggish from years of dwelling in the deep sea.

“Human tea ceremony is quite interesting.” She put down her teacup and looked at Zhou Sichen.

"Initially, I was indeed wary of you. Tang San has been operating in the God Realm for ten thousand years, and his power is deeply entrenched. I really didn't believe that a human boy could shake his foundation. But the more I've seen over the past year, the more certain I am that you are worth investing in."

She paused, her tone becoming solemn: "The changes in Xue Di and the others have made me realize that by following you, I can not only avenge the blood feud of the past, but also reach a higher realm."

At this point, a burning glint flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes: "I have been trapped in the Douluo Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, and I have long been fed up with this kind of cultivation where the ceiling is visible."

"If you can give Xue Di and the others a new lease on life, you can naturally help me break through my limitations as well. Even for that reason, I am willing to do my best to help you."

Zhou Sichen smiled.

He knew that the Demon Emperor's ambitions went far beyond this.

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is powerful, they have always been regarded as outcasts. The Demon Queen's husband died at the hands of Tang San, and this hatred has long been etched into their bones.

Beyond revenge, the Demon Emperor yearns to break the rules of Douluo Continent and truly step into the realm of gods.

Now, Zhou Sichen is her only chance to achieve this goal.

"Don't worry, senior. As long as we are of one mind, the path to the God Realm is surely within our reach," Zhou Sichen said with certainty.

The Demon Emperor nodded slightly, but his gaze turned to Lan Fuzi beside him.

The young girl was looking down, playing with a teacup, her long eyelashes casting soft shadows beneath her eyelids, looking obedient and well-behaved. Looking at his daughter's serene profile, the Demon Emperor's heart suddenly softened, and the oppressive aura around him lessened.

"Sichen, there's something I must make clear to you." The Demon Emperor's voice deepened slightly:
“I follow you for revenge, for ascension. No matter how many dangers lie ahead, I can overcome them. But the Buddha’s daughter is different. She is my only attachment in this world.”

Hearing her mother's words, Lan Fuzi looked up, a hint of confusion in her clear eyes: "Mom, I'm not afraid of danger."

Over the years, she has been cultivating in the deep sea with the Demon Emperor, and is no longer a hothouse flower. Fifty thousand years ago, she even dared to venture onto land alone for training, but was later forcibly brought back to the deep sea by the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor held his daughter's hand, and the cool touch from her fingertips made her even more determined: "You are too kind-hearted and not suitable to get involved in my feud with Tang San. If it weren't for protecting you back then, I wouldn't have endured this long and retreated to the deep sea for ten thousand years."

She looked at Zhou Sichen, her gaze becoming extremely serious: "I know you have many talented girls around you, Ye Guyi, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and even that girl named Dugu Xianmeng, none of them are ordinary people."

“But after much thought, I can only truly feel at ease if I entrust the Buddhist disciple to you.”

Zhou Sichen's heart stirred slightly.

He had long anticipated that the Demon Emperor would have this concern.

Only the mother and daughter remain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan. The Demon Emperor is willing to risk everything for revenge, but he will never allow his only daughter to repeat the same mistake.

Making Lan Fuzi her own spirit is undoubtedly the best solution at present.

He could both use his luck to protect her and ascend to the divine realm together in the future, achieving the best of both worlds.

“Senior, there’s no need to worry. I’ve already made arrangements for the Buddhist disciple.” Zhou Sichen put down his teacup, his tone calm and composed.

"The Buddha has now cultivated for two hundred thousand years, and his Deep Sea Demon Whale form is the ultimate existence among sea spirit beasts, possessing the greatest power."

"My current main spirit has only absorbed three spirit rings, and my spiritual power is already close to the realm of tangible and tangible, so I can completely withstand her spirit."

He paused, looked at Lan Fuzi, and smiled gently: "By becoming my soul spirit, you will not only retain your complete consciousness, but when I break through to the god level in the future, I will be able to take you with me into the god realm."

These words were like a reassuring pill, instantly putting the Demon Emperor at ease.

Her biggest worry was Lan Fuzi, but now that Lan Fuzi's problem has been resolved, she has no other concerns.

"Very good." A relieved smile appeared on the Demon Emperor's face. This was the first time Zhou Sichen had seen her so genuinely relaxed since he had known her.

“I know you have no shortage of soul spirits. There are countless soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest who are hoping to become your partners.”

"But the Buddha's daughter is different. Her power can perfectly match your original martial soul, and may even help you break through level 90 and enter the title Douluo realm sooner."

Zhou Sichen neither agreed nor disagreed.

He certainly knew the value of Lan Fuzi.

The soul spirit of the 200,000-year-old deep-sea demon whale can not only bring top-quality soul rings and soul bones, but the Blue Buddha in its soul spirit form is also quite powerful.

“Mom, I do.” Lan Fuzi suddenly spoke, her voice clear and crisp like the clinking of jade stones.

She stood up, walked to Zhou Sichen, and bowed slightly. Although her movements were somewhat shy, her eyes were incredibly firm: "Brother Sichen, I want to become your spirit."

The Demon Queen looked at her daughter with some surprise. She had originally thought she would have to use more persuasion, since her daughter could be quite stubborn at times.

She was afraid that her daughter would insist on being strong and transforming herself to challenge the impossible, so she took the initiative to mention it to Zhou Sichen.

Now that Lan Fuzi has agreed to this decision, the Demon Emperor is naturally pleased.

Zhou Sichen smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother will definitely not let you down."

Looking at the harmonious scene before him, the Demon Emperor's last trace of doubt vanished.

Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi picked up the juice glass on the table, the bright red juice reflecting her excited face: "Brother Sichen, I'd like to toast you. From now on, I look forward to your guidance!"

As she spoke, she drank the juice in her glass in one gulp, unaware that some juice had gotten on the corners of her mouth, looking exactly like a little whale or dolphin that had stolen some honey.

Zhou Sichen smiled and raised his glass in response, his gaze falling on the girl's bright eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of the Soul Technique.

It not only changed the way Soul Masters cultivate, but also broke down the barriers between Soul Beasts and humans, making it possible for two originally opposing races to finally move forward side by side.

The Demon Emperor watched the tea dregs slowly settling in the cup, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

From this day forward, the fates of the mother and daughter are now completely intertwined with that of the young man before them.

This is both a high-stakes gamble and a new beginning.

She had a premonition that this investment, which was a gamble on the future, would eventually bring them everything they wanted.

Whether it's the thrill of revenge or true freedom.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows on the obsidian floor.
