Any creature facing a dire situation will unleash unprecedented potential.
Clearly, the Prime Minister of Douling had no desire for a grilled hot dog. Seeing the Sea Demon Douluo stop moving, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This prime minister of three dynasties had never felt his mind so clear. He gritted his teeth and began to fabricate a historian.
"I know the Blue-Haired Princess!"
"Really! Absolutely!"
"Such a person does exist in the royal family, but her identity is rather sensitive and has always been hidden by the royal family."
The Sea Demon Douluo touched his right eye socket and exchanged a glance with the jailer next to him, who also wore a monocle. A smile appeared on their lips.
The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.
Amon was now eager to hear what bizarre story this loyal minister of the Douling Empire would arrange for Kerudela.
Watching the prime minister fabricate stories, Amon and his ilk felt quite pleased.
If the story he told was good, Amon and his ilk could consider turning fan fiction into original content, using his story as the character's background.
Prime Minister Douling took a deep breath and began to construct his own history.
"That happened eighteen years ago. You only need to do a little research to know that His Majesty the Emperor enjoyed touring the entire country."
At this moment, the Sea Demon Douluo suddenly interjected,
"To correct you, it was the former Emperor. He has already abdicated to our clan leader."
Upon hearing "abdicated," the Prime Minister of the Fighting Spirit Sect's eyelids twitched violently, but he dared not refute it and quickly nodded, saying,
"Yes, yes! The former Emperor."
"Ahem, when His Majesty toured, as the Prime Minister of three reigns, I naturally had to accompany him.
When passing through the Gulei Province, His Majesty, on a whim, rescued a blue-haired woman.
The blue-haired woman was being chased by several Soul Saint powerhouses. His Majesty did not reveal his identity but instead helped her evade the pursuit.
During the escape, His Majesty gradually learned the woman's identity.
It turned out that her mother was a Soul Beast in human form, and her father was a member of a powerful family."
"Those Soul Saints came from the family her father belonged to.
The reason they were chasing her so relentlessly was because of the 100,000-year-old Soul Bone that belonged to her mother."
"His Majesty was very shocked, but he did not discriminate against this tragic woman with Soul Beast blood."
He also comforted her, saying that the great Blue King Tang San, her ancestor, also possessed the bloodline of a soul beast, just like her.
This was not a curse, but a blessing.
The Sea Demon Douluo suppressed his smile upon hearing this; this guy even managed to steer the story back to the Sea God Tang San—his survival instinct was truly strong.
The Prime Minister took another breath; after this period of intense memory restoration, his body was very weak, and he was only kept alive by the Sea God family's healing-type soul masters.
"For a while afterward, His Majesty continued to accompany this blue-haired woman in hiding.
Time is the best catalyst for love, and His Majesty and this blue-haired woman fell in love.
Deeply in love, His Majesty ordered his guards to kill all the pursuers and revealed his identity to intimidate the families hiding behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived.
Just as His Majesty was preparing to bring the blue-haired woman back to the palace, the family hiding in the shadows dispatched a Title Douluo-level expert to forcibly abduct her.
Keep in mind that at that time, the blue-haired woman was already pregnant with His Majesty's child!" The
Imperial Prime Minister wept bitterly, his Oscar statuette now undeserved.
Just then, a tissue was handed to him to wipe his tears.
The Sea Demon Douluo, seemingly out of nowhere, had moved a small stool, cracking sunflower seeds in his hand, surrounded by a circle of prison guards wearing monocles.
"Douluo Continent doesn't believe in tears. Wipe them and keep going, it's very exciting."
The Imperial Prime Minister, his eyelids twitching wildly at the group of damned monocle-wearers, could only grit his teeth and continue his fabrication.
"Since that day, His Majesty the Emperor has been listless and dejected, no longer thinking of governing, only wanting to drink and make merry, showing signs of becoming a tyrant.
A year later, on a summer night, someone found a blue-haired infant outside Lingdou City, with a jade pendant belonging exclusively to the royal family in the infant's swaddling clothes.
I personally handled this matter, because only I know the authenticity of the jade pendant."
"After confirming the jade pendant was genuine, I immediately brought the infant to the depths of the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor. "
The bloodline connection caused His Majesty to burst into tears on the spot. He wanted to announce that this child was the royal princess.
However, we stopped him. This child was not only illegitimate but also possessed the bloodline of a soul beast, which was unacceptable to the public at that time.
His Majesty didn't mind, but the people, even the nobles, would not agree to a child with the bloodline of a soul beast becoming the princess of the empire.
This would surely be condemned by everyone. "
So His Majesty hid the child in the deep palace. Except for a few close confidants, no one knew of her existence.
When the child was six years old, she awakened her martial soul. Unexpectedly, she did not inherit the royal Swan Martial Soul. I don't know what the martial soul is exactly; it's a top secret!
I only know that the child's talent is monstrous, and His Majesty regards her as the royal family's secret weapon.
His Majesty dispatched a promising Title Douluo as her guard, originally intending to let the child grow up before announcing her existence."
*Clap clap clap!*
The onlookers, including Amon, clapped their hands.
The Sea Demon Douluo stood up and patted the Prime Minister of the Battle Spirit on the shoulder with a satisfied expression.
The pat was so forceful that the Prime Minister winced in pain. "
If you had spoken up earlier, you would have suffered much less!"
"Look at the mess this has made."
"I'm already aware of the situation, and I will report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor word for word."
"As for your final fate, I cannot guarantee it, but I will try my best to keep you alive."
"You few, arrange for this last loyal subject of the Douling Empire to be placed in the best cell, find a healing-type Soul Master to treat him, and then prepare a feast to entertain him."
The Douling Prime Minister
was overjoyed. Having lived a life of extravagance, he couldn't withstand the corporal punishment in prison at all, and was on the verge of a mental breakdown by the second day of torture.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
If he hadn't been firmly bound to the wall by rare metal chains, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to the Sea Demon Douluo.
If he had known that he could escape this torment by making up a story, he wouldn't have persisted for so long.
What's wrong with making up a story? What's wrong with spreading rumors? The Douling Emperor himself didn't deny it, and if he didn't deny it, then it must be true!
The Sea Demon Douluo left the damp and dark cell, while the Sea Dragon Douluo leaned against the high wall outside the prison, playing with the water element in his hand.
He used water elements to create two miniature figures, one resembling Amon and the other Adam.
The water element Amon miniature was riding on top of the Adam miniature, beating it up and having a great time.
Seeing the Sea Demon Douluo appear, he touched his right eye socket, casually dispersed the water elements, and followed with a smile.
"That guy confessed?"
Sea Demon Douluo said with a smile.
"Of course."
"With the help of the Great Memory Restoration Technique, he finally remembered the detailed information about the Blue-Haired Princess.
Someone has already come up with her backstory for us; we just need to tell the clan leader directly.
The clan leader isn't very bright; we just need to embellish it a bit, and he'll believe it."
"This story depends on you accidentally leaking it."
Sea Dragon Douluo nodded and said,
"Understood. I just made an appointment with that guy Hai Ming to go drinking at the tavern in Lingdou City.
It's quite reasonable for him to accidentally reveal some information while drunk."
Sea Demon Douluo touched his right eye socket and said,
"Drinking?"
"Amon is a minor, and Father strictly limits our drinking.
If we get caught by a peeping tom, be careful he doesn't report us."
Sea Dragon Douluo waved his hand and said,
"Where would a peeping tom be so free? He's with his sister looking for the Netherworld Butterfly right now; he doesn't have time to care about us.
As long as we don't call his name, the peeping tom won't notice."
Sea Demon Douluo revealed a strange smile and said:
"That's hard to say."
Sea Dragon Douluo sensed something was wrong and hurriedly said,
"Amon won't cheat Amon!"
"You're not going to betray me, are you?"
Sea Demon Douluo patted his shoulder and said,
"You don't want this to get out, do you?
How about this, I'll borrow Sea Dragon Douluo's body for a while in a few days, and I'll return it to you when I'm done."
Sea Dragon Douluo said with a sour face,
"Okay, but don't break it. This body is very precious; it's the highest-level body that Amon and his ilk possess."
"By the way, Sea Demon, isn't our sister's friend also from the Douling royal family?
Is she still alive?"
Sea Demon Douluo shook his head and said,
"Her fate is unknown; I don't know either."
"The patriarch's attack turned the palace into ruins; even the body couldn't be found."
Sea Dragon Douluo said,
"Fate unknown? That means she's dead."
"But it's alright. The Underworld is Butterfly's territory; she won't be mistreated there."
