445: Chapter 445 Demon Emperor: Are you even a man?

"Demon Empress, tell me about that God you mentioned."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King snorted coldly: "Human, you had better not know too much; that person's level is not something you can touch."

"Shut your stinking mouth." The Demon Empress glared fiercely at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

She turned to look at Su Wen, a gentle expression appearing on her face: "We don't know which God he is either. The power he uses is something we have never seen before. Judging by his tone, the Sea God seems to be nothing special in his eyes."

"He didn't tell us any information, only telling us to address him as... Young Master Tang."

Su Wen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. It was this guy again. He was the one who rescued the Shrek Seven Devils in Spirit City.

He had initially thought he might just be a Spirit Master, but it seemed he was a God.

But Su Wen had never heard of this name among the Gods of the Douluo Divine Realm.

"Not taking the Sea God seriously, that guy is truly arrogant."

"A half-step God King, or perhaps a God King?"

"Or perhaps the Asura God in disguise?"

Su Wen rubbed his chin. It didn't seem like the Asura God.

The Asura God had already violated the rules of the Divine Realm and was currently being punished, unless... he had used some ability to hide from the eyes of the Divine Realm.

"Demon Empress, then why did he want you to help Sea God Island?"

Su Wen continued to ask.

"This... I am not quite sure. It should be something like a successor; he seemed to have mentioned it... but I cannot be certain..."

The Demon Empress thought about the situation at that time, feeling conflicted.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's expression was displeased; he did not understand why they had to be so polite to this human.

"Human, you had better hurry up and become a God. With such a powerful guy watching you, you could fall at any time. The next time he comes for us, I won't be able to protect you, and I will have no choice but to attack you."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King reached out a hand to the Demon Empress: "We should go back."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King sneered inwardly; they hadn't lost anything on this trip.

Now they just needed to wait for this human to become a God, and then help him become a God according to the agreement.

Now they just needed to return to the deep sea and wait for the win.

But if this human did not become a God before that Young Master Tang arrived, they would have no choice but to turn to Young Master Tang and attack this human.

Betting on both sides meant they could never lose.

"What is that attitude?"

The Demon Empress slapped his hand away and scolded: "If you dare to attack him, I will never let you go."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King: "???"

The Demon Empress snorted coldly: "Did you not hear what I said? Apologize to him, and watch your tone."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King: "????"

"Huh? What is going on?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's brain was a bit dazed. He needed to think about it.

The Demon Empress was actually... blaming him and telling him to apologize to this human?

She was protecting this person? Even if this human had the ability to help them become Gods, there was no need to protect him like this, was there? Weren't they supposed to bet on both sides?

"Did you not hear what I said?" The Demon Empress said coldly: "Do you need me to say it a second time?"

"Demon Empress." Su Wen couldn't help but interject. Moderation was key. If it went too far, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would definitely realize something was wrong.

Going insane would be the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's final fate. After all, no one could accept this. An insane demigod would be much more powerful than the current Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Hmph... Hus... Since he has spoken, I will not hold it against you, but if it happens again next time, heh."

The Demon Empress crossed her arms, slowly walked to Su Wen's side, looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and parted her red lips: "You go back. I will protect him personally until he becomes a God."

"And... that Young Master Tang, if he comes again, you handle him well. Do not disappoint me."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King scratched his head. Why did it feel like something was wrong? But he couldn't put his finger on it. What was wrong with the Demon Empress? Was she really going to bet everything on this person?

She should be clear about Young Master Tang's strength; the other party could destroy them with a flick of a finger. If Young Master Tang discovered something was wrong, none of them would survive.

"What? Do you want to stay too?"

The Demon Empress thought for a moment and said: "You can sacrifice yourself directly to him to become his ninth spirit ring. His spirit ring slot is exactly missing one. This... actually seems possible too."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King: "????"

Su Wen's mouth twitched. This kind of contract was even more terrifying than he had imagined. She really had set her heart on becoming molded into his shape. Although it was terrifying, it was also truly sweet.

"Human, can you resurrect me too?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at Su Wen.

For some reason, he suddenly regretted it—regretted letting the Demon Empress sacrifice herself to this human. Why he regretted it, he couldn't say; he just felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to kill this human.

Su Wen said uncertainly: "I suppose... it should be possible."

"No, you are lying. This is different from what you promised us just now. You have lost your confidence."

As the 990,000-year-old overlord of the deep sea, his Mental Energy was incredibly strong. He could tell the speed of the blood flowing in a human body at a glance. That gaze, those subtle expressions—even if only for an instant, he could capture them precisely. This human was completely different from the one who had agreed so readily just a moment ago.

"What? Could he possibly be lying to you?" The Demon Empress was displeased, her towering chest slightly puffed out: "Or are you saying that you think I would harm you?"

"This..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King didn't know how to respond for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said: "He has already promised us that if you sacrifice yourself, we can both become Gods. There is no need to take any more risks. Let's go back; Lan Fuzi is still waiting for us."

"What did you say? You mean for me to take the risk, while you don't?"

The Demon Empress was full of rage and pointed at him: "Are you still a man?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was speechless for a moment. The rough man's face flushed red.

A Xie stood to the side and saw this scene. She wanted to laugh but forced herself to hold it in. She looked at the Ghost Brides and saw that their expressions remained indifferent, only showing a trace of gentleness when looking at Su Wen. A Xie admired them; how could they hold it in? There wasn't a single change in expression, and only their eyes revealed a hint of strangeness.

"I didn't mean that..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King still wanted to explain something, but the Demon Empress had already lost all patience and pointed at him: "Then what do you mean? You don't believe me? Or do you just want me to take the risk? Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you either sacrifice yourself to me now, or get lost..."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt aggrieved. His heart hurt so much.

"I, I..."

"Human." The Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly looked at Su Wen. The more the Demon Empress protected him, the more intense his murderous intent toward this human became.

"Why are you calling me?" Su Wen shrugged.

"You..."

"You what? You?" The Demon Empress was also thoroughly angry: "I will ask you one last time: what is your choice?"

"Lan Fuzi still needs someone to take care of her."

"Then you get lost and go back."

"I... you, what about you? Are you really not leaving? Lan Fuzi needs you."

"Why do you have so much nonsense to say? I am going to protect him personally. If something happens to him, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?"
