Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

By participating in team battles, they had already accumulated a considerable fortune, which they could spend in the Ancestral Court.

After leaving the Great Beast Fighting Arena, Tang San did not hurry back to the Golden Valley but went to the center of Kali City to buy a cup of milk tea.

Whenever he had time, he would come to buy a cup of milk tea. Even though he couldn't see Mei Gongzi, seeing Su Qin there reassured him. At least it proved that Mei Gongzi had not left and nothing significant had changed.

Su Qin had a deep impression of Tang San. Seeing him come to buy milk tea again, she smiled and said, "You seem to have grown taller again. You should be around thirteen, right? You already look like a young man."

Tang San took the milk tea and smiled, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Yes, go back early. Stay safe," Su Qin advised, not saying much more.

"Alright. Goodbye, Auntie," Tang San replied respectfully, holding the warm milk tea. He drank it while leaving Kali Plaza.

He would think of Mei Gongzi whenever he tasted the milk tea. He still cherished the cup she gave him before her seclusion because it had her fingerprints and traces of her energy.

He missed her so much!

Before she returned, he needed to lay a solid foundation, strive to reach the ninth order, and further regenerate his divine consciousness. Even if he couldn't break through to godhood, he needed to achieve true combat power at that level. When she was out of seclusion, she might start her fight for inheritance rights. At that time, she would need his help the most.

Somewhere in Kali City, in a quiet room.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Mei Gongzi slowly opened her eyes, a hint of pale silver light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She had spent more than a year in seclusion here, rarely seeing the sun, and her skin was even paler.

Opposite her, the Peacock Great Demon King was also meditating cross-legged. At least on the surface, his condition did not seem to have worsened.

Sensing Mei Gongzi awaken, the Peacock Great Demon King slowly opened his eyes. "How do you feel?"

Mei Gongzi nodded and said, "I've made some progress, and my cultivation is stable now."

"Yes, the eighth order is significant for us. It will give you the true ability to integrate into space, and the progress of Star Shift can also be further deepened. Little Mei, starting today, I will teach you a new ability. This is a secret technique of our clan that even I cannot master."

Mei Gongzi was taken aback. "You can’t?"

"To be precise, no male can master it. Do you know when the last Demon Emperor appeared in our clan?" asked the Peacock Great Demon King.

"Wasn't it three generations ago?"

The Peacock Great Demon King nodded. "Do you know the gender of this ancestor?"

Mei Gongzi said flatly, "I wasn't allowed to study in the clan school, so how would I know?"

"That ancestor was female. For a Demon Emperor to emerge in our Peacock Demon Clan, it must be a female."

Mei Gongzi was stunned. "Aren’t the male peacock's tail plumes the most beautiful? Few females even possess that kind of peacock feathers."

The Peacock Great Demon King shook its head and said, "That's how the outside world understands it. But in reality, only females can truly unleash the peak power of our clan's bloodline. And within you flows the bloodline of this female ancestor. When you were very young, I implanted the essence blood of this ancestor in you. That's why you could awaken the Peacock Gold Crown at such a young age and be recognized by me as one of the heirs. Well, this 'one of the heirs' talk is just what I say to the other clan members. As far as I’m concerned, you’re not just 'one of,' but 'the.' There’s nobody else."

Mei Gongzi was stunned. She never expected that the Peacock Great Demon King had implanted ancestral blood in her. She had no memory of this at all! The bloodline of the ancestral Peacock Great Demon Emperor?

No wonder she had never felt the issues caused by a diluted bloodline that human vassals invariably experienced during cultivation. The bloodline power of the ancestral Peacock Demon Emperor flowed within her, and this talent came from that.

The Peacock Great Demon King continued, "After this seclusion, I might have to face that fellow. Moreover, I am already half burned out. The future of the Peacock Demon Clan is entrusted to you. I have only one request: you can cleanse those who oppose you, but you must ensure the continuation of the Peacock Demon Clan's bloodline. I won't oppose it even if you want to support and protect humans. But the Peacock Demon Clan's bloodline must continue. Can you promise me that?"

Mei Gongzi looked at her father before her, remained silent momentarily, and then nodded.

The Peacock Great Demon King smiled. "Good! Although I know you prefer to see yourself as human, the blood of the Peacock Demon Clan flows in you. I believe that in the future, you will certainly become the new Peacock Demon Emperor. When you were young, I took you to the Ancestral Court and asked the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor to peer into your future. Do you know what the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor said to me then?"

Mei Gongzi shook her head.

The Peacock Great Demon King said, "His Majesty told me you have great fortune. Moreover, he had never seen such fortune on any demon clan member. He couldn't see your future clearly, nor your achievements. He said he had only seen such a situation once or twice, and those he observed were above him. In other words, the future he saw for you is above him. And he ranks third in the Ancestral Court."

Mei Gongzi's beautiful eyes widened slightly. She had always thought she was talented and worked hard, but she had never imagined that she could reach the level of a Demon Emperor.

The Peacock Great Demon King smiled and said, "So, never underestimate yourself. In the future, I believe you will surely become the new Peacock Demon Emperor and lead our Peacock Clan to new heights. It was precisely because of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's evaluation that I decided to make you my heir."

"But no matter how great your fortune, you still have to walk the path step by step, and your strength must be built through continuous accumulation. I will teach you the secret technique of our Peacock Demon Clan that only females can cultivate. This is the true path to becoming a Demon Emperor. You must follow this path to succeed."

"Okay." Mei Gongzi nodded again. The Peacock Great Demon King's words today had profoundly impacted her. She needed time to digest them, but no matter what, the primary purpose of this seclusion was to improve her cultivation.

"Take a rest first; I'll go make preparations. We'll start shortly."

The Peacock Great Demon King's figure flickered as he left the secret chamber. A thoughtful look appeared in Mei Gongzi's eyes.

Gradually, she became a little lost in thought.

She should have been in seclusion for a little over a year. She wondered what the outside world was like now. Over this year, her strength had improved significantly in all aspects.

She wondered if Asura was still waiting for her at Kali Academy. And also Little Tang.

When she thought of Little Tang, an unmistakable figure appeared in Mei Gongzi's mind. She found it strange herself; she didn't know why, but every time Mei Gongzi saw Tang San, she naturally felt a kind of affection that seemed to come from the depths of her being. When she was with him, she felt unconditional trust, a sense of closeness she had only felt with her mother. Not even the "father" who had been meticulously teaching her had ever made her feel such familial warmth.

She wondered how Little Tang was doing now, whether he was still sweeping the grounds at Kali Academy. She had no idea how much longer her seclusion would last.

At that moment, she heard the Peacock Great Demon King's voice in her ear. "Little Mei, come on."

"Okay!" With a flash of silver light, Mei Gongzi also vanished into thin air.
