As Jiang Fan and his companions reached the horizon, a colossal dark cloud, covering the vast sky, blotted out the sun. At midday, under what should have been a clear sky, it was instead dim. It was exactly like the day the Crown Prince of Beihai underwent his tribulation.
On a mountain in the distance, a graceful figure could be seen sitting cross-legged. It was the Sea Siren Demon King. The dark cloud above her head swirled, forming a colossal vortex. Inside, lightning intertwined, and the unpredictable flashes of thunder flickered intensely, as if a furnace had burned through the sky. Waves of terrifying thunderous energy spread out, making one's heart pound.
She looked up at the massive thunder-eye, her exquisite face slightly pale, her eyes filled with uncontrollable fear. Her body trembled faintly with each low rumble of thunder. She glanced at the Blood Bodhi in her palm and quickly swallowed it. Layers of vital energy immediately emanated from her body, coiling around her to form a bloody armor. Even so, she still felt no sense of security.
"Master," she murmured, "I hope Haili can distract the Demon Emperor so that your concubine Yunxia can successfully undergo her tribulation." She offered a bitter smile, already mentally prepared for failure even before the tribulation began. But suddenly,
A flash of lightning in front of her revealed Jiang Fan, who had arrived using his Cloud Shadow technique. "Master?" the Sea Siren Demon King's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Noticing her tension, Jiang Fan gently stroked her head. "Don't be afraid. I've invited the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; he's intercepted the Demon Emperor. No one will disturb your tribulation. Just focus on breaking through."
Hearing this, Haili's worries vanished. With no more lingering concerns, she only needed to calmly face the heavenly tribulation. However, she still lacked confidence.
"Also..." Jiang Fan took out a jade-carved phoenix chair. "This chair possesses spatial abilities. Sit on it during your tribulation. When you can't endure it, activate the chair; it can shield you from some lightning damage." He paused, then took out a set of Bright Light Brocade Robes. "During tribulation, lightning will damage your clothes, leaving you exposed. This outfit is a quasi-spirit artifact. Even if damaged, it will only lose its defensive properties; the garment itself won't be torn, preventing unwanted exposure."
Upon hearing the first part, Haili's nervousness greatly eased. Hearing the latter part, her expression stiffened slightly, and she became a bit embarrassed. "You... why do you care about such things? I'm not your concubine Yunxia; you wouldn't care if others saw me exposed."
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at her. "Who said I don't care? Change into it immediately! I won't allow anyone to see you naked!"
Haili suddenly felt highly valued by Jiang Fan. It made her inexplicably happy. She immediately took the Bright Light Brocade Robes and put them on.
"And take this blue seed." Jiang Fan also gave her the blue seed he had obtained from the Divine Transformation ruins. "This seed contains powerful life force. If you ultimately can't bear it, consume it; it can prolong your life. As long as you still have a breath, I can revive you with a Rejuvenation Pill. Finally, I have a Heaven-Deceiving Divine Bead. If you feel you can't hold on, I'll give you this pill, and you can temporarily preserve the opportunity of the Heavenly Demon's Legacy, waiting until you're ready to continue your breakthrough next time."
After speaking, Jiang Fan let out a long breath. "Therefore, you won't be in mortal danger, nor will this be your only chance to break through. Go ahead and break through with courage and confidence. With me here, you can rest assured in everything."
Haili's heart surged with emotion upon hearing this. A life-saving blue seed, a Heaven-Deceiving Divine Bead that preserves opportunities. With such seemingly heaven-defying items, what else did she have to fear? She immediately felt an immense sense of security.
But then she came to her senses, surprised. "Master, weren't these prepared for your own tribulation? You... you're going to use them on a mere servant like me?"
Jiang Fan smiled. "Since you call me Master, aren't you my person? Even if you break through to the Demon Emperor realm, you'll still be my person. So, what's the difference in giving them to you?"
Haili's heart was violently shaken. Jiang Fan clearly knew that after she broke through to the Demon Emperor realm, the karmic chain necklace would definitely not be able to bind her. She could tear up the master-servant agreement at any time. All of Jiang Fan's efforts would be in vain. Yet he still did it without hesitation, giving her the items he had saved for his own tribulation.
She was originally just an ordinary demon general, destined for a life without much excitement. But she met a man who was gentle to her in every way, who pushed her all the way to the threshold of the Demon Emperor. This foolish man even gave her his most precious tribulation treasures, completely unafraid that she would renege on her word. How could there be such a foolish man in the world? And she just happened to meet him.
Deep emotion pried open her tightly closed heart, making her utterly unable to resist the man before her. To meet a man who treated her like this in this life, even if she died under the heavenly tribulation, she would be content.
"Master." Haili's eyes welled up with moisture, and she slid her fish tail, throwing herself into Jiang Fan's embrace. "Haili will forever be your servant. My heart already belongs to you." She tilted her head back, and her rosy lips gently kissed him. Her lower body, a fish tail shimmering with colorful scales, suddenly felt a burst of heat. All the scales peeled off, and a line appeared down the middle of her fish tail, slowly splitting it apart and transforming into a pair of long, snow-white human legs.
When a mermaid falls in love with a human, their tail transforms into human legs. Yue Mingzhu once bet with Haili that she would definitely transform into a human because of Jiang Fan. Haili thought it would never happen. Now it seemed Yue Mingzhu had won. The pain of her tail splitting caused Haili to show distress on her face, yet her heart was filled with happiness. She parted her lips, looked at her human feet, and smiled tearfully. "These legs were born for Master. From now on, only Master can touch them."
Feeling the furious thunder overhead, she pushed Jiang Fan away. "Master, Haili will always be yours! Even as a Demon Emperor!"
Jiang Fan flew backward, retreating until he was outside the range of the tribulation lightning. A terrifying bolt of lightning, long brewing, suddenly struck! Instantly, the lightning enveloped Haili. Her face showed pain. The lightning pierced through the Blood Bodhi's vital energy, striking her body and leaving numerous cracked, bloody marks. But Haili no longer felt fear. Her gaze, resolute, turned towards the sky.
The heavenly thunder seemed to sense a challenge! The lightning in the cloud-eye erupted with flickering, unpredictable light, illuminating the dark world intermittently.
Boom—
Amidst the deafening thunderous explosion, dozens of lightning bolts fiercely struck down simultaneously. Haili was instantly struck down, sprawling on the ground, her entire body scorched! But she stubbornly stood up, continuing to face the next wave of heavenly tribulation.
In the distance, the Demon Emperor of the Azure Sky, who had been intercepted, was filled with unwillingness. "So it's that wretched woman Haili! She dares to betray me! I will exterminate her entire clan! Her *entire* clan!!!"
The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion chuckled. "Don't be like that. With one more Demon Emperor, your demon race's strength will greatly increase. I'd have to flee at the sight of you all. Isn't this a good thing?"
The Demon Emperor of the Azure Sky roared, "Screw you! Get out of my way, now!!!" He attacked like a madman, trying to force back the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to stop Haili's tribulation. But the Pavilion Master was at ease, not giving him any chance to free his hands!
Just as the Demon Emperor of the Azure Sky raged with unwillingness, a sinister voice echoed, "Demon Emperor of the Azure Sky, it seems you're in trouble. Do you want my help?" From beneath the ground not far away, a chilling surge of ominous energy emerged!
