The High Priestess Returns

A luxurious carriage slowly traveled down the main road.

They had been on the road for three months.

At this moment, Ye Han rather missed the airplanes from his previous life.

Fortunately, every road eventually came to an end.

They had finally arrived at Slaughter City.

Gazing at Slaughter City's entrance, Ye Han could not help but feel a little wistful.

Back then, when he first came here, he had not even been eight years old. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was nearly eighteen.

After more than six years, he set foot here once again.

"Have you been well?"

Returning to this old place, Ye Han inevitably thought of that figure in red. He wondered how she was doing now.

Had she already broken through to the Hundred-Level?

However, Ye Han did not know that, at this very moment—

At an unknown harbor, a massive tower ship slowly docked.

"Wow! Teacher, is this the mainland? So this is what the sea looks like from here!"

As a crisp, pleasant voice rang out, a little girl in a bright yellow princess dress came bouncing onto the deck.

The little girl looked seven or eight years old. Her skin was fair, her lips red, her teeth white, and her face full of baby fat. Two tiny dimples appeared whenever she smiled, making her utterly adorable.

Her long silver-white hair was straight and smooth, crystal-clear like a waterfall, gleaming brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

Her large eyes were filled with liveliness and purity, occasionally flashing with tri-colored radiance. One look was enough to tell that she was a mischievous little troublemaker.

"Be careful. Don't fall."

After her, another clear and childish yet steadier voice sounded.

Then, a little girl in a red robe followed closely behind. Her sky-blue hair, appearance, and age were exactly the same as those of the silver-haired girl.

Unlike the former's bright liveliness, her gaze was gentle as water, full of composure and softness.

Yet her mouth seemed blessed with prophetic power, for the moment her words fell—

The silver-haired girl let out a cry and fell straight off the deck.

Splash!

Just as the girl was about to hit the ground, a stream of water shot up from the sea. Though it started later, it arrived first, instantly crossing dozens of meters like a gentle hand and lightly catching the little girl.

"Be careful."

A magnetic voice, gentle yet carrying a hint of helplessness, sounded.

At the same time, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared on the deck, holding the hand of a little girl dressed in black. She stood a full one hundred eighty centimeters tall, with sea-blue hair hanging straight to her ankles. Dressed in a red robe, she possessed an elegant and noble bearing.

The woman looked to be around thirty. Even the loose red robe could not conceal her proud figure.

Most unforgettable were her eyes. Those clear blue eyes seemed deeper than the sea itself, as though they had been tempered by ancient ages. As she looked at the two little girls ahead, the tenderness and affection in her eyes could not be concealed.

She was the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi.

The woman seemed favored by heaven. So many years had passed, yet time had not left the slightest mark on her face.

The child whose hand she held was also a girl of seven or eight.

However, unlike the first two girls, her long hair was black as ink, and her pretty little face held not a trace of expression.

She wore neat black battle attire, giving off a cold and cool impression.

Though her distinctly black-and-white eyes were full of curiosity as they surveyed the surroundings, her entire body exuded an aloofness that warned strangers to stay away.

Behind them stood a tall beauty who looked around twenty, dressed in white leather clothes. Her figure was alluring and curvaceous, brimming with seductive charm.

Unlike Bo Saixi's noble gentleness, her features carried slightly sharper lines, giving her an exotic air.

"Xiao Bai, stay with Qing Wu. Don't let her run off and get lost."

After the woman in leather appeared, Bo Saixi immediately spoke.

"Yes, High Priestess."

The woman answered. With a flash, she arrived beside the girl still rolling about in the water and scooped her out in one grab.

"Ha ha ha! Big Sister Xiao Bai, why wouldn't you let me play a little longer?"

The girl pouted, her little face full of grievance.

"Hehe, from today on, you'll be following your big sister." The leather-clad woman smiled faintly and could not help reaching out to pinch the little girl's plump cheek.

"Annoying! Don't pinch my face." The little girl grumbled, her lips protruding high in displeasure.

Bo Saixi held the Black-Clothed Girl's hand and followed the red-robed girl down from the tower ship. Seeing one adult and one child, she could not help shaking her head before looking toward the harbor before her, both familiar and strange.

"Six years already. I wonder how that little bastard is doing. Is he alive? Or was he beaten to death? With that bastard's conduct and personality, the chances of him being beaten to death should be rather high." A face surfaced in her mind, always wearing a smile and appearing refined and easygoing, yet actually black-hearted and ruthless. Even now, merely thinking of him made her grit her teeth.

As the dignified High Priestess of Sea God Island, wherever she went, was she not revered, worshiped, and admired by countless people?

Yet that little bastard had been outrageously bold enough to do that to her.

Whenever she thought of it, she felt so ashamed and furious that she wanted nothing more than to hang that fellow up and beat him for three days and three nights to ease the hatred in her heart.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

The black-haired, black-clothed little girl, with her cold temperament and unapproachable appearance, raised her head and looked at her teacher's face.

For some reason, she noticed that her teacher's face seemed redder than before.

"Mm! N-Nothing. Hai Long, you all should head back."

Bo Saixi came back to her senses and hastily brushed it off before turning to call out to the figure on the ship.

Then, holding one little girl in each hand, black-clothed and red-robed, she slowly left the harbor.

"Hai Long, do you think those three girls and the High Priestess are..." Sea Horse Douluo looked at the backs disappearing from sight and could not help gossiping.

"Are you stupid? If you know, why ask?" Hai Long Douluo replied irritably.

Although the three girls were still young, they looked far too much like the High Priestess. Especially the eldest, Qing Qian—whether in appearance or temperament, she was simply a miniature High Priestess. The people of Sea God Island were not fools. How could they fail to see it?

They simply could not understand, nor did they dare ask, just who possessed such incredible ability as to hit three birds with one arrow. That was simply ridiculously overpowered, wasn't it?

Whoosh!

Only after watching the tower ship sail away did Bo Saixi let out a slight breath of relief.

Back then, she had never expected to give birth to three children at once. What she had not expected even more was that, as they grew older, they became increasingly similar to her in appearance. This made the High Priestess, who had always claimed publicly that the three were her disciples, feel as though her face were on fire. She had truly lifted a stone only to smash her own foot.

Faced with the increasingly strange looks from the people of Sea God Island, she could no longer sit still.

After the three awakened their Martial Souls, she directly brought the three sisters out, claiming that it was for training.

Yet she had not stopped to think—what the hell could a six-year-old train for?

Did they even need training?

Her self-deceiving behavior had long been seen through by everyone on Sea God Island. The smart ones merely chose not to expose it.

Two adults and three children left the harbor and headed inland, beginning their aimless wandering.
