Bo Saixi

Hell Road lay beneath Slaughter City, within a sea of magma.

Gurgle, gurgle!~

The magma churned, bubbles rising one after another.

Ye Han held Bo Saixi's hand as they strolled along a broken path amid the Magma Sea.

Having read the original story, he knew what lurked on this road.

The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, the final boss of Slaughter City.

Ye Han did not know how powerful the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent truly was, so he naturally did not dare let down his guard.

"Huh! Is that the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent? Why did it run away?" Ye Han muttered, looking in a certain direction.

Below them, atop a massive rock, the enormous creature that had originally been coiled up suddenly leaped into the Magma Sea without a word upon seeing them, swimming off into the distance.

Was it really that cowardly?

After confirming that the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent had truly fled, Ye Han was at a loss for words.

Then he looked at Bo Saixi and smiled. "Did you see that? Even such a powerful monster could only tuck its tail and run before this king."

Bo Saixi shot him a huge eye roll and mercilessly exposed him. "Do you think I didn't see that horrifying wound on the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent?"

"Uh, you saw it? Hehe."

Ye Han scratched his head awkwardly and could not help smiling. "The person who left before us seemed to have been here over two years ago, right? I didn't expect her to be so ruthless. She actually cleaved that cute little snake into such a state."

At those words, Bo Saixi's gaze flickered slightly, but she said nothing.

Ye Han could not help sighing inwardly. At this point in time on the Douluo Continent, there were only two people who possessed the Slaughter Domain.

One was Tang Hao, and the other was the renowned empress who had made countless transmigrators shout "Long live the Papal Hall" through her strength alone—Bibi Dong.

And if nothing unexpected had happened, the one who had challenged Hell Road this time should have been that woman.

Unfortunately, he had learned of it too late. He had not even gotten the chance to speak with her before she left, causing him to miss a perfect opportunity to witness the empress's elegance up close.

"Since there's no other danger, let's pick up the pace and get out of here!" Bo Saixi released Ye Han's hand and stretched lazily, her expression bright with excitement.

The relaxed look on Ye Han's face faded slightly. Then he turned around and wrapped both arms around her waist.

Ye Han was now nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall. Though he was not yet eleven, his body had already fully matured.

Standing behind Bo Saixi, he drew her into his embrace, gently resting his chin on her shoulder as he asked softly, "Where will you go after we get out?"

"I... I want to return to Sea God Island," Bo Saixi said.

Although she did not want to part with him, she still remembered her mission.

"Can't you not go back?" Ye Han asked.

"No. I am the High Priestess of Sea God Island, the Sea God's servant, the Sea God's representative in the mortal world. I—"

As Bo Saixi spoke, the expression on her face grew firmer, and her tone became increasingly unwavering.

But she did not see that the more she spoke, the colder Ye Han's expression became.

Before she could finish, Ye Han finally could no longer endure it and let out an angry roar.

"Enough! Sea God, Sea God—what kind of bullshit is that? Sooner or later, I'll smash that bastard's head in!"

Slap!

Before he could finish speaking, Bo Saixi suddenly turned and slapped Ye Han across the face.

Her expression was icy and her gaze cold as she stared at Ye Han, whose cheek had been knocked to one side. "You can do whatever you want to me, but if you dare insult the Sea God's majesty again, I will kill you."

Ye Han turned back, worked his jaw, and looked at the woman standing so close before him. A red gleam flickered faintly in his eyes.

With a wicked smile, Ye Han said, "The Sea God is nothing."

Boom!

Bo Saixi erupted instantly.

The Sea God was her faith. It was because of the Sea God that she had become Bo Saixi, a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo.

Bang!~

Ye Han spat out a mouthful of blood. Bo Saixi's palm struck his chest, sending him flying backward.

But he was no longer the person he had once been.

Now, the strength of his physical body alone, even without using his second Martial Soul, was enough to rival a level ninety-seven Titled Douluo.

He could withstand Bo Saixi's unrestrained palm strike.

Yet at this moment, his heart was cold.

Though he had indeed wronged her first, over the past two years he had devoted himself to her wholeheartedly, caring for her without reservation. Yet he could not compare to that damn Sea God whom Bo Saixi had never even met.

Ye Han's thoughts had become extreme and obsessive. He was like a volcano that had been suppressed for far too long, standing on the brink of eruption at any moment.

Over these past two years, Ye Han had slowed the rate at which he absorbed Bloody Mary and vented the negative emotions accumulated within him through battle. But emotions were intangible things, coming and going without warning. Over time, some indelible traces of brutality had inevitably remained in his Spiritual Sea.

The red glint in Ye Han's eyes flickered in and out as he looked at Bo Saixi, his voice hoarse. "What exactly am I in your heart? I can't even compare to your damned Sea God? Haven't I treated you well enough?"

Bo Saixi's expression tightened slightly, and for a moment, she hesitated.

But in the end, faith still prevailed.

Looking at Ye Han, she suddenly became hysterical. "Hahaha! You were good to me only because you thought the person who had a relationship with you was me. Today, I'll tell you the truth. That person... was not... me."

Being cared for by him had felt wonderful, easy and warm.

But there was also a knot in her heart.

Because she knew very well that the person Ye Han wanted to cherish was not her.

After voicing the secret she had kept buried in her heart, Bo Saixi suddenly seemed to lose all her strength. Her body swayed, and two streams of tears slipped down her face without her noticing.

She knew that from this moment on, there would no longer be any ties between them.

She did not know why.

But at this moment, Bo Saixi felt an agonizing pain and suffocating heaviness in her heart, as though she wanted to throw back her head and howl at the sky.

"Are you telling the truth?" Ye Han asked, his face twisted.

He felt like a clown at that moment, utterly ridiculous. He had spent years fawning over her, only for it all to turn out to be a deception.

Bo Saixi said nothing. She simply turned and walked toward the exit of Hell Road.

"Hahaha! You want to leave? Did I agree to that?"

Ye Han let out a long roar, a predatory light flashing in his eyes as he rushed toward Bo Saixi in an instant.

"You—"

Bo Saixi turned around, about to speak.

But Ye Han grabbed her in his arms, and after a few leaps, the two arrived atop an enormous round boulder.

Rip!

Without another word, Ye Han acted.

"You deceived me for so long, and you think you can just leave? No chance. Didn't you say that person wasn't you? Then today, I'll make you become that person."

As he spoke, he acted. Bo Saixi found it nearly impossible to resist and quickly became a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Seeing that she was still struggling, Ye Han's tyrannical spiritual power crushed down directly, pulling her into his Spiritual Sea.

The entanglement of their souls and the union of their bodies became inevitable.

Ye Han sighed softly.

Influenced by his negative emotions, both his actions and thoughts had become somewhat excessive.

By now, he had regained his usual rationality, but unfortunately, the mistake had already been made and could not be undone.

"Come with me. I'll put aside my grievances with the Sea God and treat you as I did before," Ye Han said as he looked at the stunning face in his arms, lost in a daze.

Bo Saixi came back to her senses and looked at Ye Han. She pursed her lips, but in the end, she merely shook her head.

After a while, she slowly rose to her feet. In front of Ye Han, she took out her clothes and put them on one piece at a time, as though nothing had happened.

"Then... who was that person?"

Looking at Bo Saixi's back, Ye Han finally could not stop himself from asking.

"I don't know her."

Bo Saixi's voice suddenly turned cold. She looked back at Ye Han expressionlessly. "She's dead. I killed her. What now? Are you angry after hearing she's dead? Do you want to avenge her?"

Ye Han was speechless. He reached out and pulled Bo Saixi into his arms, smiling faintly. "Dead is dead. I didn't know her, so why would I avenge her? It's you I should be worried about. How should I deal with you? You're so strong. Once we leave Slaughter City, I won't be your match."

"Pah! Men really are all scum."

Bo Saixi cursed angrily. Feeling Ye Han's hand roaming over her body, she could not help blushing as her heart raced and her limbs went weak.
