Bo Saixi Had a Few Too Many Traits

The Pope's Palace.

Bo Saixi had changed into a fresh set of clothes because the previous set had been soaking wet and uncomfortable to wear.

With both hands resting over her lower abdomen, she stood beside Lu Jin like a household servant, completely taking Bibi Dong's place.

She could sense that she and Tang Yuehua were the same kind of person, both the Ancient God's most loyal maids.

Ah Yin was a little different, but the Ancient God seemed to like her very much. Bo Saixi felt she couldn't be too presumptuous before she had fully secured the Ancient God's favor for herself.

Unless she wanted that feeling of being conquered.

The Qian father and son, who were busy preparing for the wedding, were also there, along with several of Spirit Hall's enshrined.

Bo Saixi's arrival had been so overbearing that it would have been impossible not to alert Spirit Hall's upper ranks.

Lu Jin raised his hand to take a drink. Quick as lightning, Bo Saixi brought the cup to his lips, cradling his head against her chest.

Lu Jin didn't know what to make of it. How is she so practiced at this?

Wasn't she supposed to be a cool and dignified high priestess?

Why do you look more like the pure succubus serving the Bone King to me?!

Still, they were on the same wavelength, and it did feel pretty comfortable.

Off to the side, Bibi Dong looked like a helpless wife, squatting in a corner and drawing circles with a vacant stare.

There was nothing she could do about it.

In terms of presence, Pope Bibi Dong might have been able to go toe-to-toe with Bo Saixi. As she was now, all she could do was act cute.

Lu Jin cleared his throat. "All right, everyone, you can leave. Bo Saixi is one of us."

Hearing Lu Jin say she was one of them, Bo Saixi found the corners of her mouth harder to suppress than an AK.

Once everyone had left, Lu Jin said, "Great Enshrined, are the sculptors ready? The statue will be of the woman behind me."

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji looked at Bo Saixi.

The moment outsiders looked at her, Bo Saixi put away her smile and moved her long legs slightly, standing at Lu Jin's side to attend him. "Ancient God, what do you mean by a statue?"

"Creating a god." Lu Jin sat up straight. "Do you know the ways to become a god on this continent?"

Even Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi didn't know about such things, let alone the others.

Ah Yin asked in puzzlement, "Does it have something to do with the statue?"

Lu Jin nodded. "Yes and no. There are two ways to become a god on the Douluo Continent."

"The first is to inherit an existing godhood. This is also the most common and easiest way to succeed. Once you become a god, the most basic benefit is an infinite lifespan."

"The second is to create your own godhood, accumulating the faith of living beings and becoming a god through the power of faith."

It was Bo Saixi's first time hearing about a Self-Created Godhood. Puzzled, she asked, "Creating your own godhood must be difficult, right?"

"Extremely difficult. First, creating your own godhood requires a vast amount of faith. Second, you also have to face suppression from the Divine Realm."

"The number of godhoods in the Divine Realm is limited. When you create your own, it's equivalent to breaking the authority of existing gods down into smaller parts, weakening their power in a roundabout way."

Lu Jin went on to explain more about the Divine Realm of the Douluo Continent, including the thing Bo Saixi cared about most: how the Sea God had become a god.

After hearing it all, the group felt their horizons had broadened.

Qian Xunji smiled bitterly. "How laughable. Spirit Hall once wanted to rule the Douluo Continent. Leaving aside Senior Bo Saixi's strength, I'm afraid even the Divine Realm wouldn't have allowed it."

Qian Daoliu listened to the end without hearing a word about the Angel God, whom he cared about. After some thought, he took the initiative to ask.

Lu Jin replied, "The Angel God disappeared long ago. From my observations of the threads of fate, she definitely hasn't died completely. She's only waiting to be reborn."

The Angel God's true disappearance would have to wait until near the end of Douluo I, when the Angel Godhood was shattered. Only then would the Angel God have truly fallen.

After explaining all this, Lu Jin stood up. "So the purpose of making the statue is to gather faith for Bo Saixi. It's that simple."

Tang Yuehua asked softly, "Master, didn't you say becoming a god through faith requires an enormous amount of it? Even the Sea God spent a thousand years. Can this statue really do it?"

Lu Jin smiled. "Don't worry, I have my own way. Who says faith can't be plundered?"

The Sea God's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was an important tool for becoming a god, containing a considerable amount of the faith of sea creatures. If Lu Jin hadn't possessed the stature of an Ancient God, he really wouldn't have been able to see through the treasure's true purpose.

After the meeting, Qian Xunji arranged for people to sculpt the statue in Bo Saixi's likeness.

Lu Jin, meanwhile, took Bo Saixi for a stroll around Spirit Hall.

Lu Jin asked, "How does freedom feel?"

Bo Saixi smiled. "Freedom feels wonderful, but Bo Saixi doesn't want freedom without the Ancient God."

Lu Jin's face twitched slightly. Weren't you always living in seclusion on an island?

How do you come up with one line after another like that?

Lu Jin coughed, trying to correct the effect Whisper had had on Bo Saixi. "I haven't restricted your freedom at all. As long as you don't do anything to become my enemy, you can go anywhere on the Douluo Continent."

Bo Saixi shook her head. "Without the Ancient God, what meaning would there be in traveling the continent?"

It's over. She's beyond saving.

It wasn't that Lu Jin wanted to be some gentleman who could remain unmoved with a beauty in his lap. The problem was that Bo Saixi was missing a little something like this!

As everyone knew, being a high priestess was a feeling, not an identity.

The current Bo Saixi was indeed dignified in front of outsiders, but in private, her desire to go "sob, sob, sob" was written all over her face.

Not far away, Ah Yin and the other two were hiding in a corner.

Bibi Dong was an idea machine. "Sister Ah Yin, Sister Yuehua, we have to join forces!"

Tang Yuehua was a woman of action. "How?"

Ah Yin was easygoing about it. She only wanted to stay by Lu Jin's side, but Bo Saixi had monopolized him as soon as she arrived, and that made her very unhappy. "I'm fine with anything."

Bibi Dong chuckled. "I have an idea. I guarantee that woman called Bo Saixi won't be able to hold her head up in front of us after this!"

Tang Yuehua and Ah Yin leaned closer. "Tell us more!"

Bibi Dong lowered her voice and began thinking up her devious scheme.

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang was having a miserable time.

After more nonstop humiliation, his mind was on the verge of breaking.

"Liu Erlong... Liu Erlong..." Yu Xiaogang murmured over and over, his eyes vacant.

The only thing keeping his will from collapsing was his conviction that he would take revenge on Liu Erlong.

In his eyes, Liu Erlong had caused all of this. Liu Erlong had reduced him to such an undignified state.

Creeak~

The sound of the door opening was like a death knell from hell. Yu Xiaogang's eyes flew wide in fright, his legs stiffened, and he fell silent.

Madam Cube approached. "My little baby~ I'm back again. I brought candles this time..."

Yu Xiaogang didn't respond.

Madam Cube frowned. "Dead already? How boring!"

Madam Cube stretched her body. "Someone, throw this guy into the sewer."

It wasn't until the next morning that Yu Xiaogang gradually regained consciousness.

He had been reborn again.

But rebirth couldn't wash away the memories of his torment, nor could it restore his little Xiaogang, which could no longer stand.

He rummaged through his clothes, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. His eyes bloodshot, he roared, "Good thing the aphrodisiac I hid wasn't taken away. Liu Erlong, oh, Liu Erlong... just you wait... I'll make you wish you were dead!"

At Liu Erlong's home.

Yu Luomian had already arrived. He raised a hand and tucked a strand of hair back for Liu Erlong. "Erlong, I know I was wrong, and I've wronged you. I only came this time to see whether you were doing well."

Liu Erlong sneered. "Did you really come just to see me?"

Faced with Liu Erlong's questioning gaze, Yu Luomian guiltily turned his head away. "There's one other thing. Your eldest uncle's son, Yu Xiaogang, has gone missing. I came to look for him."

Liu Erlong's face was expressionless. "In that case, please go and attend to your business first. I didn't need you before, I don't need you now, and I'll need you even less in the future!"

Yu Luomian froze for a moment, then sighed. "Very well. I'm going to the market. Is there anything you need me to take care of while I'm there?"

Liu Erlong said nothing, and Yu Luomian could only leave with his tail between his legs.

After he left, Liu Erlong rubbed her hair in frustration. "What on earth is going on? A while ago, some lunatic wanted to practice a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with me, and today Yu Luomian showed up!"

"This is so annoying!"

Liu Erlong looked at the gifts Yu Luomian had brought, including a Soul Tool, and anger immediately flared up in her. She picked them up and threw them outside. "Who wants your things?!"

"Ah~~!"

A sudden cry of pain came from outside, startling Liu Erlong into opening the window, but she found nothing.

"Strange. I definitely heard someone scream."

Yu Xiaogang lay unconscious in a pond, the Soul Tool embedded in his forehead. The aphrodisiac powder in his hand had spilled into the pond, attracting quite a few aquatic creatures.

The loaches that had eaten the aphrodisiac began looking for holes to burrow into. Yu Xiaogang only felt the strange sensation growing stronger and stronger, as though he had returned to the secret room.
