I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Inside the restaurant, Diana and Xiaobai were enjoying their meal.

Diana was almost moved to tears. It was still that familiar taste. Cora must have helped with the cooking!

Louise's mother, Karina, looked distressed and kept putting food into Diana's plate.

"Eat slowly, child, there's still plenty left~"

Throughout the meal, almost no one touched their food; they all just watched Diana and Little White eat, making Diana a little embarrassed.

During dessert, Diana briefly recounted what had happened along the way, of course concealing the fact that she had become the Demon King.

When everyone heard that Diana had infiltrated the Demon King's castle alone, they couldn't help but feel a chill.

Louise's father was somewhat excited when he heard that Diana had defeated the evil king and stopped the war.

"Anna! So it was all thanks to you! No wonder the demons haven't been bothering us lately! This is a great achievement! Enough to earn you a noble title!"

Cora and the others looked at them with admiration.

Diana raised her chin, a smug look on her face.

"Well, it's nothing serious. A mere demon king, I can easily take her down with one hand."

"As for being granted a title, that's fine with me. I'm not interested!"

Jenny's eyes were filled with little stars.

"Anna, once you're knighted, you'll have a really, really big house!"

Cora added.

"You can have your own territory and hire many people!"

Diana imagined it for a moment, clenched her fist, and suddenly realized.

"Oh, that's pretty good too!"

Louise's father suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Anna, while you were away, many nobles sent us invitations. Would you like to take a look?"

Diana waved her hand.

"Ignore them."

Louise's father didn't seem to mind and took a sip of his red tea.

"That's true. I doubt they have any good intentions. You can stay here without worry!"

Diana remembered Adolf's instructions.

"Uncle, I'm afraid that won't work. The dean has already instructed me to return to the academy as soon as possible; we'll be going back in a few days."

"Oh, that's alright. You can come anytime you want!"

Diana nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, Diana led everyone on a bike ride to the beach.

She needs to get more seafood, because it won't be so easy to eat it back in the capital!

Over the next few days, Diana caught almost all the big fish in the vicinity, reaping a rich harvest.

Diana had already forgotten all about promising Adolf she'd only stay for two days before heading back to the academy.

That day, Diana decided to go to the depths of the sea to see if there was any big cargo.

They flew far into the depths of the ocean, until the seawater turned somewhat black.

Diana made a perfect dive and plunged into the sea.

The deeper you swim, the colder the seawater becomes, and the lower the visibility around you.

Diana's silvery pupils emitted a faint glow, and with the aid of night vision, her vision was completely unobstructed.

After diving dozens of meters into the sea, Diana stood on the edge of a cliff.

One step forward and you'll find yourself in an abyss with no end in sight.

Diana looked down and saw only darkness, an unfathomable abyss.

The abyss seemed to have a suction force, giving people the illusion that once they fell in, they could never come back up.

Diana was very curious about what was below, but also inexplicably afraid.

This feeling was something she hadn't experienced since Diana became the Demon Lord, and it excited her!

I'll just go down a little bit~

Diana swam headfirst into the depths.

All around was silent; the only sound was the beating of my own heart.

The seawater seemed to freeze, without the slightest ripple, and even the flow of time felt slower!

I don't know how long it swam downstream, but it still hadn't reached the bottom.

Even with Diana's night vision, she could only see things within a dozen meters.

Diana stopped and looked up, but it was pitch black all around.

Just as she was about to go back, she noticed something unusual about the rocks next to her.

After clearing away the aquatic plants on top, the flat rocks underneath were revealed.

Diana reached out and touched the rock; it was very smooth.

'This couldn't have formed naturally!'

Intrigued, Diana decided to go down a little further.

We continued downstream along the rock face for a while.

Diana felt that every drop of seawater around her was incredibly heavy, as if it would crush her. Crunch, crunch, the sound of bones grinding together rang out.

'Ding! Proficiency achieved, skill gained (Stress Resistance 1)!'

As the voice from the system inside her head sounded, Diana felt a lightness throughout her body, and the bleeding stopped.

'Not bad~ I even gained a skill!'

Now Diana had nothing to worry about; continuing down the path would further improve her skill proficiency!

After swimming downstream for a while, a point of light suddenly appeared ahead.

Swimming over to take a look, I found it was a jellyfish swimming slowly. Its entire body was emitting a pale blue light. Along the edge of the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, there were many slender tentacles, like light strips, flashing with various colors of light!

"So beautiful!" Diana couldn't resist reaching for a shimmering tentacle.

'Ding! Immune to poison effects, paralysis effects, and mental effects!'

'Good heavens! If it were anyone else, this would have been enough to kill several people!'

I played with the glowing tentacles in my hand and found that they were covered with tiny barbs.

'Indeed, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is!'

Continuing downwards, the scene before her caused Diana to momentarily lose her composure.

The jellyfish clustered together, each emitting a different color of light.

Diana felt as if they were a galaxy right in front of her, dazzling and magnificent!

Wandering through it, the dazzling lights made Diana a little disoriented, but thankfully she kept going down the stone wall and didn't get lost.

The jellyfish swarm was larger than expected, and it took Diana a long time to get through.

Passing through the jellyfish swarm, it wasn't as dark as I had imagined; I could see quite far, and in the distance, I could see scattered, luminous objects swimming around.

Diana looked around and noticed a large hole in the rock wall below, through which a huge, light blue fish tail was visible, still swaying!

Diana's eyes lit up. 'The big shipment is here!'

Diana approached quietly. The fish had a light green fin on its back, covered with blue scales, and the very end of its tail was more than two meters thick!

Diana swallowed hard. 'How big must that fish be!'

Diana stood on the rock face, her silver hair growing longer and longer, wrapping around her swaying fishtail.

The swaying fish tail was suddenly entangled, causing a noticeable pause.

'Great opportunity! Come out here!'

Diana pulled her hair back, grabbing it with both hands and exerting a sudden force.

The seawater surged, and large fish were repeatedly pulled out, their smooth bodies long and thick.

'Could it be a giant eel?'

Diana continued to pull, stretching the fish's body, and to her astonishment, she discovered that the fish was not struggling at all.

'It shouldn't be a dead fish! Its tail was clearly moving just now!'

Diana felt a lightness in her hand as the fish head appeared, as if time had slowed down.

It has a light blue head that looks a bit like an eel, with green fin-like ears on both sides and a long, brown spiral horn on top.

It still had a large squid in its mouth, its big, light blue eyes staring incredulously at Diana, who had pulled it out.

Diana stared wide-eyed at it, their eyes meeting, and for a moment time seemed to stand still.

Diana released the hair that was tangled around it and flung it away.

'What the hell is this?!'
