"Wuhu~~"
Little Bai transformed into her Demon Soul Great White Shark form. Her huge body suddenly stretched out in the sea water, her gray-blue scales sparkling with a cold light under the sunlight.
She tumbled in the waves, swimming towards Sea God Island at a fast speed. Lin Feng and Bo Saixi stood on her spine, feeling the sea breeze brush their faces, as well as the waves of bumps brought by the surging sea water below.
"Indeed quite fast."
"Right? Right? In terms of swimming speed in the sea, I have never lost to anyone. Eheh~" A tone of voice identical to her human form sounded in the ears of Lin Feng and Bo Saixi, carrying a hint of satisfaction and playfulness.
Bo Saixi smiled faintly. The sea breeze gently blew her hair apart. She reached out and tidied it, saying softly, "Little Bai is indeed quite lively."
"However, this is also quite good," Lin Feng interjected, his gaze landing on Little Bai's energetic figure, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes. "At least, she lives very authentically, without too many schemes."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi nodded lightly. "Indeed. Although Little Bai is sometimes a little simple and honest, her heart is very pure. In this world full of schemes and disputes, to be able to maintain such a purity is truly rare."
"Compared to a certain fellow who is full of bad water and always loves to tease others, Little Bai is really so much more lovely," Bo Saixi's words had a hidden meaning, as she lightly glanced at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was unconcerned by the teasing look in her eyes. "Why are you looking at me? If you don't want the energy in your heart's meridian, you can return it." As he spoke, he directly stretched his hand towards Bo Saixi.
"What's given to me is mine," she shot Lin Feng a white-eyed glare, casually pushing his hand away, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who goes back on her word?"
"How are you going to explain to them?"
Bo Saixi pondered for a moment. "I'll just say I'm going into seclusion."
"Seclusion..." Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. "Will this reason work?"
"Why wouldn't it?" Bo Saixi glanced at him. "To go into seclusion on Sea God Island is a common occurrence. As long as we don't say anything, who would know that we are actually going to leave? Sea God Island is said to have a sea area of a hundred li. In fact, the area that truly needs to be governed is just those few islands along with the forbidden sea behind them."
"There are usually no incidents on this island. Since I took office, it has already been several decades. Besides the war brought by your Spirit Hall before I took over the position of Great Priestess, this place can be said to be calm, without any waves."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Feng again, the meaning in her eyes self-evident. "You, this current Holy Son of Spirit Hall, do you have any thoughts or anything to say?"
"Ahem ahem," Lin Feng was a little embarrassed by Bo Saixi's sudden question. He coughed lightly twice and then transmitted his voice, "What thoughts can I have? Could it be that you still want to claim compensation from me? The sword of a previous dynasty cannot cut an official of the current dynasty. If you want money, I have none. If you want my life, I won't give it either."
Bo Saixi snorted. "You rogue. For Qian Daoliu's granddaughter to choose you as her partner, this life is really something."
She changed the subject. "The expert at the Limit Douluo realm who was said to have abducted you last time by Qian Daoliu, who on earth was she? Was it the female soul master who had come with you yesterday?"
"No."
"Then who was the one who came with you? I have been pursuing you all this way. It's all a vast sea, with no place to land. According to this trajectory of action, to go to the continent from here, only an archipelago several hundred li away can be used for temporary rest and recuperation."
"Unless you are lucky enough to encounter a ship, otherwise you can only rely on your own powerful cultivation and majestic soul power to supply your flight. Such an expert who is at least a Super Douluo, when did she pop up? Has Spirit Hall been developing so fast these years?"
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders. "Another friend of mine, named Qing Xuan, from another faction, does not belong to Spirit Hall."
Another faction... when did such a faction appear on the Douluo Continent...
Bo Saixi frowned. "Speaking of which, what on earth happened back then? How were you, who were in Spirit City, captured by someone? It's only been a few years. How have you become so powerful? Is it related to the expert who had captured you?"
"It is. And a great deal."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi's pupils shrank slightly. "She... she wouldn't also be a god, would she?" In her view, the reason why Lin Feng could improve his strength so quickly, besides the expert who had captured him being a god, there was no other explanation.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment and nodded. "Something like that. But she can't beat me now."
Bo Saixi's sandalwood mouth opened slightly. After calming her mood, she was silent for a long time.
"Why aren't you transmitting your voice anymore?"
"I don't like to transmit my voice," Bo Saixi rolled her eyes.
"Do you feel that your choice just now was very wise?"
"Something like that," Bo Saixi said with a smile on her face, looking at him.
"We're here, we're here! Great Priestess, we're here!" Little Bai shouted excitedly. Her huge body fiercely paused in the sea and then slowly stopped at the shore of Sea God Island. Lin Feng and Bo Saixi jumped off her back. The latter transformed into human form.
"Little Bai, you can go back first. I and Lin Feng have some matters to attend to," Bo Saixi rubbed Little Bai's hair and instructed.
"Alright, Great Priestess!" Little Bai nodded obediently. Her figure swayed, and she had once again transformed into the gray-blue Demon Soul Great White Shark and had dived into the sea, leaving only circles of ripples on the sea surface.
"Let's go," Bo Saixi looked at Lin Feng.
The two had not taken two steps when suddenly, on the shore, another wave churned. It was actually Little Bai who had gone and returned. "I almost forgot!" Little Bai poked her head out of the sea water and said hurriedly, "Can I go to your place for a meal at noon, Great Priestess? I'll bring my own ingredients. Big Brother Lin Feng, help Little Bai roast some fish~~"
Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Lin Feng with expectation, a light of excitement shining in her gray-blue pupils.
Lin Feng was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. He nodded. "Fine. Come over later. But you have to catch your own fish. I won't provide it. Remember to come alone. Don't tell others."
"No problem! Leave it to me!" Little Bai shouted excitedly, and then immediately transformed into a gray-blue ray of light, quickly diving into the sea and disappearing without a trace.
Bo Saixi looked at the direction Little Bai had left in and helplessly shook her head. "This girl is really a foodie."
"It's quite good. At least she's very simple," Lin Feng said with a smile. The two continued to walk forward.
This trip, they had directly landed on the most central island. This was the most core area of Sea God Island. The island was covered with green trees, and a gentle sea breeze blew, carrying a faint salty smell of the sea, appearing exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
Bo Saixi led Lin Feng, passed through a dense coconut grove, and arrived at the foot of the mountain. The Sea God Hall on the mountain was built of pure white coral stone, on which were carved complex sea patterns, appearing both mysterious and solemn. The two ascended the steps.
Around the palace, there were the guards of Sea God Island patrolling. They were wearing uniform blue armor and holding long spears.
At this moment, there was a pair of guards who had observed the return of Little Bai and Bo Saixi. One of them frowned and said to the other, "Hey, look, isn't that the Great Priestess? How come she's still with a man?"
The other person took a closer look and immediately's eyes widened. "It really is! Who is this man? And he's so handsome. To actually be able to come back with the Great Priestess. By the looks of it, their relationship is not ordinary. Could it be..."
"Shh, don't talk too much. The Great Priestess's affairs are not for us to discuss," the first person hurriedly reminded, but his eyes sparkled with a light of curiosity.
The two of them watched as Bo Saixi and Lin Feng went up the mountain, until their figures had disappeared at the entrance of the Sea God Hall.
"They're gossiping about you like this, and you're not angry?" Lin Feng looked at Bo Saixi with curiosity.
"It's just the idle talk of some ignorant people. Why bother?" Bo Saixi replied indifferently, her pace not stopping. "On this Sea God Island, they revere me, respect me. But it is only because I am the Great Priestess, the bridge for them to communicate with the Sea God."
"They don't really understand me, nor do they know my joys and sorrows. So, their words, I'll just listen to them and that's it. I won't take them to heart."
Lin Feng praised, "The Great Priestess has a broad mind. I admire you."
Bo Saixi shot Lin Feng a white-eyed glare. "Cut it out."
"I'm being serious," Lin Feng said seriously.
"Heh."
The two did not go to the main hall of the divine temple but went to the discussion hall in the back. The moment they arrived, three figures had already come up to meet them. One of them was precisely the Sea Horse Douluo whom they had seen before.
The other, a man and a woman, of whom the man was naked from the waist up. His height was impressively over two meters. His figure was like a perfect inverted triangle sculpture.
His broad shoulders, his firm back muscles were as if carved from granite. A head of deep blue, semi-long hair gently brushed past his shoulders, naturally curly. On this rock-solid back muscle, a lifelike blue giant dragon tattoo was coiled.
A proper tough guy image. It was precisely the Sea Dragon Douluo, the next Great Priest of Sea God Island.
And the woman had a graceful figure. From her elegant neck to her slender waist, a beautiful arc smoothly extended to her waist. Her upper body was wearing a tight-fitting, small black garment, with a bold cut. Even her navel was faintly visible. Her personality was unrestrained, yet not lacking in a charming and enchanting state.
What was most eye-catching was her pair of large, sky-blue eyes, clear and deep. Compared to the vast ocean, they were more like the boundless sky. Her appearance was peerless, and a faint smile always hung on the corner of her mouth. It was precisely the Sea Maiden Douluo.
"Greetings, Great Priestess." ×3
"Greetings, Your Excellencies," Lin Feng cupped his hands.
The three looked at Lin Feng with some surprise in their eyes. For so long, they had not seen the Great Priestess bring another man here. Looking at his cultivation, emmm, a Soul Douluo? Was he a continental soul master?
Bo Saixi nodded lightly. "The man has already left. There is no need to pursue. The Sea Horse Douluo has contributed to the protection of Sea God Island. He will be rewarded afterwards. This one is the junior of an old acquaintance whom I met on my pursuit. He has come here as a guest."
"It's fine now. You all can return to the city first. I have an important matter to announce in the afternoon. I'll have to trouble you to go and notify the others."
"This subordinate obeys the order." ×3
The Sea Horse Douluo said with a slight blush on his face, "Great Priestess, don't talk about any reward. This subordinate has handled the matter poorly, and had even had a killing intent in the process of probing, which had almost attracted a strong enemy. To not be disciplined is already a great fortune."
Bo Saixi smiled faintly and interrupted the Sea Horse Douluo's words. "Sea Horse Douluo need not blame yourself. The strength of that person is no small matter. For you to be able to withdraw with your whole body is already not easy. What's more, this matter has also not caused any serious consequences. No need to be too concerned."
Hearing this, a warmth in the Sea Horse Douluo's heart. He respectfully nodded. "Many thanks, Great Priestess."
He cupped his hands and withdrew along with the Sea Dragon Douluo.
On the contrary, the Sea Maiden Douluo blinked her eyes, circled around Lin Feng, continuously sizing him up, and said playfully, "Hehe, Great Priestess, who is this little big brother? What's his name?"
Bo Saixi looked at her with helplessness and said to Lin Feng, "She is the Sea Maiden Douluo, also known as the Sea Witch. Her temperament is a little free and easy. Don't look at her like this. Her age is already..."
"Hey hey hey!" The Sea Maiden Douluo's eyes widened. She hurriedly covered Bo Saixi's mouth, not caring at all about the other party's identity. She said to Lin Feng with a giggle, "The Great Priestess is really... age is a secret, little big brother."
She was of the mermaid race. Her lifespan was five times that of a human. Even if she lived to be five hundred years old, her appearance would be that of a woman in her twenties. Not to mention she was not yet a hundred now. Her appearance, from the outside, was completely that of a girl-next-door big sister.
Lin Feng lightly cupped his hands. "I am Lin Feng."
The Sea Witch blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Little Big Brother Lin Feng, you are so handsome, and your strength is so strong. Are you interested in joining our Sea God Island? We have many pretty little sisters here~"
"Are you interested in accompanying me on a trip to my city? We, the mermaid race, have the talent of being a mermaid in the water and a human on the shore. Do you want to see my mermaid form?"
Bo Saixi coughed lightly, pulled away the Sea Witch's hand, and glared at her. "Sea Witch, stop fooling around. Don't you see that Little Bai is about to be led astray by you?"
The Sea Witch laughed. Her figure flashed and arrived behind Lin Feng. Her two arms, without any argument, were about to reach down from Lin Feng's shoulders.
"Sea Witch! You've fooled around enough!" Bo Saixi's voice carried a bit of severity. She took a step forward and rescued Lin Feng from the Sea Witch's about-to-be-extended "demonic claws."
A trace of surprise appeared in the Sea Witch's eyes. What's wrong with the Great Priestess? In the past, when I had made such a joke with her, although she would also feign anger, she had never been so severe as today.
The Sea Witch stuck out her tongue and said with some grievance, "Great Priestess, I was just joking. Don't be so serious."
As she spoke, her fair hand covered the corner of her eye, with a look of being on the verge of tears. But she secretly observed the reactions of Bo Saixi and Lin Feng from between her fingers.
So strange. The Great Priestess seems to care a lot about this Lin Feng... could it be... wow~~~
A thought suddenly flashed in the Sea Witch's heart. A cunning smile appeared on her face. "Great Priestess, Big Brother Lin Feng has come from afar. Why don't I take him for a stroll in the city? I guarantee I will complete the mission." As she spoke, she blinked her eyes at Lin Feng.
Bo Saixi's face turned black. She looked at Lin Feng. "What do you think?"
"Ahem, I think it's good here."
"Oh?" A hint of surprise was in the depths of the Sea Witch's eyes. Her gaze swept over Bo Saixi and Lin Feng a few times, and then immediately said with a smile, "What a pity. Then I will go and notify the Sea Star Douluo first. See you in the afternoon~~"
After speaking, the Sea Witch's figure turned, transforming into a blue stream of light, and in an instant, disappeared from her original spot, leaving only Bo Saixi and Lin Feng standing opposite each other.
Bo Saixi lightly let out a breath, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "She is the only female Titled Douluo among these seven children. On normal days, she is very doted upon. Even I haven't managed her much. I have made a fool of myself in front of you."
"Her age is close to a hundred, yet she calls you 'big brother'. Really..."
Lin Feng stroked his chin. "On the contrary, there's no sense of incongruity. Strange."
Bo Saixi's eyes widened. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then is there no sense of incongruity if I call you 'big brother'?"
"? If you want to call me that, I don't mind," Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile.
"Call you a head!" Bo Saixi replied with annoyance.
