The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Three hours passed before the little house finally seemed to have weathered the non-existent storm and reached the calm sea, where it became peaceful.

The door opened, but no one came out; only a lazy arm stretched out, followed by Amelie's voice, which sounded like she had just woken up:

"Bring over some fine wine, fruit, and delicious snacks."

"Yes, Miss."

The dark mermaids, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went to greet them. The first mermaid presented two bottles of fine wine that had been prepared in advance, while the mermaids behind her carried seashells the size of washbasins, each containing sweet fruit or delicious side dishes.

"Alright, you can disperse now... Keep an eye on the area. No ships are allowed to enter this area. If any attempt is made to force their way in, sink it immediately!"

After bringing the wine, fruit, and snacks into the small house, Emerald gave another order.

"Yes, Miss."

The dark mermaids responded in unison, then scattered and swam away, and the door of the small house slammed shut again.

"Phew... these merfolk seem different from other merfolk. Did you raise them specifically to satisfy your own cravings, Senior Sister? Their feet are so interesting..."

Inside the small house, Ji Xinyu lay lazily on a coral bed, peeling open a fist-sized pink fruit and licking it with her tongue, taking small bites.

"If it weren't for you, Senior Sister, making me completely exhausted, I would have really liked to catch a couple of those mermaids and bring them inside to play with... cough, I mean, to study the evolution of their legs."

"They are indeed a new branch of the merfolk after their evolution, and they were ostracized by other merfolk. I took them in."

Amelie sat on the other side of the coral bed, one foot in her shoe and the other on the bed, her toes occasionally rubbing against Ji Xinyu's feet through the black stockings.

She briefly recounted the story of the Dark Mermaids while opening a bottle of fine wine, pouring it into a small cup made of conch shell, and slowly savoring it.

"When did you arrive here? Is Aunt in red here too?"

"That is, the third day of the new year."

Ji Xinyu was still licking the fruit in small bites, seemingly too exhausted to even bite.

"The main social engagements at our Dongge Prince's Mansion were in the first two days. The subsequent engagements were all with that bunch of mediocre people and small fry. I wasn't interested, so I made up an excuse that I had gained new insights into my cultivation and needed to go into seclusion, and slipped out."

"As for Master... you know, she went straight to Pirate Island as soon as she arrived, and asked me to tell you, Senior Sister, not to bother them recently."

"..."

Amelie took a sip of her drink, speechless.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems like ever since she hooked up with Ji Xinyu, the old lich and the woman in red have become even more mushy than before? At least when Amelie was learning magic from the old lich, he wasn't like this.

"You've been here for so long, why didn't you come to find me sooner?"

Amelie asked again.

"I went to your territory as soon as I arrived in the Federation, Senior Sister. I didn't use the teleportation array in Sakura Kingdom to get here; I flew across the sea with Master."

Ji Xinyu finally took a big bite of the fruit. Each bite was bursting with juice, the flesh as smooth and tender as egg white, melting in her mouth.

"When I got to your territory, I found out that you were still celebrating the New Year in the Federal Capital and hadn't come back yet... I originally planned to continue looking for you, but just as I was about to set off, I happened to see an elven brothel soliciting customers by the roadside... Hehe."

As Ji Xinyu spoke, she stuck out her tongue and licked the fruit again, her face full of lingering relish.

"Senior sister, you have to understand me... This is the first time I've ever seen an elf in my life, so I'm planning to go to a brothel first. Anyway, there's no rush.

"The elves tasted amazing! And they were so bold and uninhibited... In short, I couldn't resist and ended up playing with them for a few extra days."

After the mention of elves, Ji Xinyu noticeably became much more energetic:

"Speaking of such a wonderful race, how did your Federation manage to coexist peacefully with them? If the Empire and the elves were neighbors, there would be ten times more slave-catching teams within the Empire's borders right now."

"Elves are indeed very suitable for being captured and enslaved. There are people who want to defeat them all and raise them as slaves, but..."

Emery shrugged:

"Those people are almost all dead... Don't look at the corrupt system and depraved nature of the elves, they have an invincible elf queen, who is a powerhouse on par with the Dao Ancestor. They can't afford to offend her."

"At the same level as the Dao Ancestor... Is there really a powerful being in this world who can be at the same level as the Dao Ancestor?"

Ji Xinyu curled her lip, seemingly somewhat disdainful:

"Senior sister, you've faced the Dao Ancestor directly, so you should know better than me how powerful the Dao Ancestor is. Do you really think the Elf Queen can compare to her?"

"I don't know, but I think it should be about the same."

"Imelite said casually."

She has not yet faced the Elf Queen directly, but in the final battle of the original game, the Elf Queen was able to exert her power across the White Sea, interfering with the connection between the Dao Ancestor and the Tianyun Empire, thus solving the biggest problem for the allies.

This alone is enough to prove that the Elf Queen can indeed be compared to the Dao Ancestor.

Compared to the Elf Queen, Ji Xinyu was clearly more interested in the Dao Ancestor. She continued eating the pink fruit in her hand, her tone suddenly becoming gossipy:

"Speaking of Dao Ancestor... Senior Sister, what exactly is going on between you and Dao Ancestor? Why did Dao Ancestor suddenly come to the Federation? And how did you manage to seduce her?"

"This……"

Amelie hesitated for a moment.

According to the original game's timeline, by the end of this year or the beginning of next year, the Dao Ancestor should have forcibly merged with the Dao to start the final battle.

Since the matter between Lian and Emerald is no longer a secret, and Lian has personally told Emerald a lot about Dao Ancestor, it seems reasonable to reveal some relevant information in advance so that Ji Xinyu and Hongyi can be better prepared.

"Actually, Lian isn't really the Dao Ancestor himself; she's the human side that the Dao Ancestor cut off..."

Thinking of this, Amelie didn't hide anything and, as if casually telling a story, roughly recounted her and Lian's story to Ji Xinyu:

"That's how it is... In order to break through to a higher realm, Daozu has completely abandoned her humanity. She may make a big move soon. Junior sister, you can prepare in advance if you have any ideas."

"I understand what you mean, senior sister."

Ji Xinyu is such a smart person; she immediately understood and her eyes lit up.

She knew she couldn't ask any more detailed questions, since everything in the Tianyun Empire was under the control of the Dao Ancestor, and knowing too much could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

So Ji Xinyu changed the subject again, and asked another question with a smile:

"So, Senior Sister, you've even fought the Dao Ancestor one-on-one? How did it feel?"

"...That can hardly be called a one-on-one fight. It was just me giving it my all, while she was just casually playing with a child."

Recalling the helplessness she felt when facing Rei, Emery gave a bitter smile:

"Junior sister, do you think the reason I improved my strength so quickly last year is because I was scared by the Dao Ancestor..."

"Senior sister, why are you so afraid of the Dao Ancestor?"

Ji Xinyu looked at Amelie with some curiosity:

"We're not Master and Mistress, we haven't done so many heinous things, there's no need to be afraid of being slain by the Dao Ancestor, right? Besides, doesn't the Dao Ancestor think highly of you, Senior Sister? He even planned to take you under his wing and make you the Second Senior Sister of the Immortal Sect... By the way, Senior Sister, do you know who the Dao Ancestor's only direct disciple is, who is the current First Senior Sister of the Immortal Sect?"

"I'm not sure, she didn't tell me."

Amelie shook her head.

Actually, Amelie knew about the character of the senior sister of the immortal sect, after all, she was the penultimate main story boss in the original game, and she was quite difficult to defeat.

But that's all Emerald knows; she only knows a few lines from the original game, and nothing more.

"She was quite a powerful and influential figure back then. At that time, the demonic cultivators in our Tianyun Empire had not yet been eradicated by the immortal sects. The most powerful demonic cultivator sect was the Hehuan Sect, and the current senior sister of the immortal sects was once the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect."

Ji Xinyu, with a grin, dropped a bombshell on Amelie:

"Now, only the elders of the Immortal Sect know about this... The Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect at that time was also a genius. Facing the encirclement and suppression of the Immortal Sect, she not only did not suffer losses, but also led the demonic cultivators to kill the Immortal Sect disciples many times, almost wiping out the main force of the Immortal Sect."

"In the end, the Dao Ancestor personally took action and fought a duel with the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect... No one knows the specific details of the duel. Anyway, after the duel, the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect became the Dao Ancestor's only personal disciple, and she even personally killed all the demonic cultivators who had previously followed her."

"..."

Amelie suddenly couldn't chew the snack she was eating, and she recalled Lian's Ascension Sword Technique, feeling weak in the waist and legs.

That Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect was most likely defeated by the Ascension Sword back then.

Even Amelie, if she hadn't already adapted to that unique attack of the Chosen One through Julia, she might have already joined the immortal sect and become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor.

Just as Yulia's Mind Correction Fist can turn any female creature into a good friend, Daozu's Ascension Sword seems to be able to turn any female cultivator into her disciple.

"Actually, I almost followed in the footsteps of that Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect."

After thinking for a moment, Amelie also briefly told Ji Xinyu about the Ascension Sword, and even maliciously spoke ill of Dao Zu:

"So, Dao Zu was just an ordinary person after all... You think she personally attacked the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect to protect the disciples of the immortal sect? I think she just wanted the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect's body!"

"...Wow, that's amazing, Senior Sister!"

Seeing this, Ji Xinyu could only give Emery a thumbs up:

"As expected of someone who slept with the Dao Ancestor, he actually dared to speak ill of the Dao Ancestor directly... If anyone else dared to say something similar within the territory of the Tianyun Empire, they would probably have been struck dead by heavenly lightning by now."

"Then let's not talk about her."

Amelie poured herself another glass of wine and downed it in one gulp:

"Tell me your story too, junior sister... How was your year? And what about that time when you said I almost killed you?"

"My last year was far less exciting than yours, senior sister."

After finishing the last bite of fruit, Ji Xinyu lay back down, tossing and turning on the coral bed a few times. She then secretly used both legs to trap Amelie's foot, which was on the bed.

"As for the Tianyun Empire, Senior Sister, you know... As long as the Dao Ancestor is still around, there will basically be no changes. Every year is the same, and everyone is just loafing around waiting to die."

"People from our Eastern Pavilion are a little better off, at least they can leave the country to get some fresh air. Those who never leave the empire in their entire lives are the ones who are miserable. Their lives are basically like parts on your Federation's magical artifacts, with their lives being highly repetitive every year."

"My last year... well, the first half of the year was quite interesting. The part of the innate supernatural power that you gave me, Senior Sister, helped me a lot. It allowed me to correctly understand the soul body, and when I practiced Master's techniques, I made rapid progress and achieved great success. I even embarked on my own path."

"But in the second half of the year... it got really boring. Every day was either work or socializing. When I was in a bad mood, I could only go out and bully men and women. I didn't even dare to go all out in a fight. Sigh."

"You should be content... You're already living a very carefree life."

Snapped!

Amélie slapped Ji Xinyu's leg again, clearly annoyed.

"What about your previous claim that I almost killed you?"

"Uh, that matter..."

Seeing that Emery was still pressing her for details, Ji Xinyu's face flashed with a hint of helplessness, followed by a touch of embarrassment; it was clearly a rather shameful past experience.

"Actually, it's nothing... I'm also the commander of the Eastern Legion in the Empire, responsible for annihilating the demon tide, right? It's just that during one of the demon tide annihilation operations, I encountered a demon that could see into people's hearts and transform into human form. It took the form of you, Senior Sister, to seduce me... cough, I couldn't resist the temptation and fell for it, almost causing a disaster."

"Oh?"

Emery raised an eyebrow and said with amusement:

"So, junior sister, you're really that infatuated with me?"

"Because that monster really understands people's hearts!"

Ji Xinyu pouted, unconvinced:

"The senior sister she transformed into is not only as beautiful as you, senior sister, but she also deliberately dressed up as a delicate young lady who would let me bully her, and even called me senior sister after I defeated her... How could I possibly stand it? Even after I saw through her true form, I was a little reluctant to kill her and wanted to keep her as your meal replacement."

"Heh... You cunning junior sister, you're trying to trick me into pretending to be all sweet and delicate like that demon to comfort you, aren't you?"

Emery scoffed and slapped Ji Xinyu again.

"Goo!"

Ji Xinyu's body trembled, and her face flushed again:

"That's not true... because I also really like my senior sister who bullies me so fiercely. No one has ever bullied me like this before."

"You can rest assured about that. I also enjoy teasing women like you, junior sister. I will definitely satisfy you."

Emerald continued drinking from her glass with one hand, while with the other she grabbed Ji Xinyu's ankle and tickled the sole of her foot.

"Don't lie there, get up and have a couple of drinks with me... These snacks are all made with special recipes from Drunken Dream of the Red Chamber, you could say they're the Daoist Ancestor's handiwork. Why don't you try some?"

"...Hmph, Senior Sister, how dare you say that? If I still had the strength, would I let you drink alone there?"

Ji Xinyu was indeed very interested in Daozu's cooking skills, but she tried to get up several times, only to lie back down weakly each time, and could only complain coquettishly.

There was no way around it; Ji Xinyu was too strong. A normal water magic duel was simply not enough for her. So, Amelie used a lot of magical tricks on her, most of which were techniques she had practiced on Yulia.

But Yulia's physique is far superior to that of Ji Xinyu, a normal cultivator.

After Yulia was exhausted by Amelie's magical tricks, she only needed to rest for a few minutes to regain her energy, but Ji Xinyu couldn't... She could only recover her spiritual power through meditation, and her body was still limp.

Fortunately, her spiritual power had been fully restored, so Ji Xinyu quickly made a thought and reappeared the black-clad Ji Xinyu who had been defeated in the water magic duel and could not even maintain her physical form. She sat down next to Amelite, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank with Amelite.

"Junior sister, your clone is really interesting."

Seeing this, Emerald curiously reached out and touched the black-dressed Princess Heart Rain, even running her fingertips through the dress and skin as if dipping her hand into water, and then inserting her hand into the body of the black-dressed Princess Heart Rain to carefully sense its form of existence:
