The Whole Story

"Sea Charm Tribe chief Meili requests an audience with the Young God."

Bo Saixi stated her purpose.

She liked this sort of reporting work, not the kind of trivial Sea God Island matters she could handle on her own.

If she could not get close to the Young God in the name of work, it was painful and agonizing.

"The Sea Charm Tribe?!"

The moment Su Mutian heard that, it was no small matter.

They had come at just the right time. Perfect timing!

His clone was still following the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess on the Trade Islands, and now their chief had come to his door.

Could it be that the Sea Charm Tribe had some ability to divine the secrets of heaven?

"Young God knows of the Sea Charm Tribe?"

Bo Saixi noticed Su Mutian's strange expression and thought the Young God was unhappy.

So she said, "Saixi will go drive them out of Sea God Island at once."

Then she turned and was about to act.

"Wait, I'll see them!"

Su Mutian hurriedly pulled Bo Saixi back, but when Bo Saixi heard Su Mutian tell her to wait, she really did stop in an instant.

With that pull, Su Mutian caught Bo Saixi completely off guard.

She immediately followed the momentum and threw herself into Su Mutian's arms like a startled fawn.

Chest against chest.

Their eyes met, wide against wide.

"Phew~"

Su Mutian's lips moved slightly as he spat out a few strands of Bo Saixi's blue hair. The scene fell into silence, and into awkwardness.

"See... see them. I'll go arrange it right now?"

Bo Saixi took two steps back and wiped her palms on her skirt.

The Young God's body smelled so good!

"What does the Sea Charm Tribe want with me?"

A moment later, after Su Mutian composed himself, he asked.

"The Sea Charm Tribe wants to seek the protection of the Sea God's Light," Bo Saixi said.

"Don't they live on Coral Reef Island? They've never competed for a quota for the Sea God's Light."

Combining the sea histories' records of the Sea Charm Tribe with Su Mutian's understanding of Sea God Island's order...

The Sea God's Light could protect three people every year. Those who accepted the baptism of the Sea God's Light had a high chance of shattering their upper limit and breaking through the bottleneck that originally confined them.

It was almost equivalent to cleansing the meridians, refining the marrow, and purifying the body.

But on the entire Sea God Island, with its several thousand residents, the annual quota was limited to only three.

Letting the outside Sea Charm Sect take one would be very unfair to Sea God Island's native residents.

"Yes, but they offered a condition."

"What condition?"

"They are willing to formally accept Sea God Island's deployments, and become one of the selection sites for Sea God Island's Nine-Star Saint Child..."

The reason it was called formally accepting was because the Sea Charm Sect had never risen to power in the sea region over the years, so naturally, they had not had much involvement with Sea God Island.

But if Sea God Island had an opinion about them, they still had to passively accept it.

And formally accepting was equivalent to becoming an official force.

"Accepting deployment is fine. There's no need for the Nine-Star Saint Child."

Joy appeared on Bo Saixi's face, and she agreed, "All right!"

"Happy now?"

Su Mutian smiled silently. Nine-Star Saint Child sounded nice and lofty, but in truth, it meant cultivating the Sea God's successor.

How could Su Mutian possibly agree?

"In the future, when you run into matters concerning the Sea God's heir, you don't need to ask me. You can refuse them directly."

Su Mutian said, "If you really need an excuse, just say that Lord Sea God currently loves his work in the God Realm very much. He is very happy in his work, and for the time being, he has no intention of stepping down.

"We should be proud to have such a responsible god."

"So that's how it is!"

Bo Saixi suddenly understood.

So Lord Sea God had long since given instructions to the Young God. It was just that the news had never been revealed!

Pitiful her. These days, she had been pondering a philosophical question:

Which was more important, life or responsibility?

If she disobeyed Lord Sea God's orders because she did not want to die, and secretly resisted the Saint Child and the Young God inheriting the God Position, would that not be too selfish?

But if she died just like that, she would never again be able to get close to the Young God, nor gaze upon his unmatched beauty.

Because of this, Bo Saixi's face had grown rather haggard.

This was haggardness caused by love.

But now, she felt somewhat relieved.

At the very least, as long as Lord Sea God did not want to choose an heir, she would not need to consider this problem.

If Su Mutian knew the little schemes in Bo Saixi's heart, he would definitely flick her forehead and scold her.

What kind of servile thinking was this?

Just because the Sea God was a god, she was willing to offer up her own life?

Just because they were gods, did that mean they represented absolute truth?

What kind of absurd theory was that?

She had clearly been brainwashed by the Sea God!

Perhaps all gods were like this.

They were no different from mortals who held high office and great power.

They liked to meddle with the lives and deaths of the people of the world.

After all, everyone looked out for themselves, or heaven and earth would destroy them.

Just like him. On one hand, he accepted the Sea God's protection, enjoyed the resources the Sea God had won, and holed up in Sea God Hall, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to get the Sea God's heir killed.

A blatant, two-faced traitor biting the hand that fed him.

But I'm self-aware.

I'm happy to do it.

I'm selfish.

But people who had been enslaved did not understand this truth at all.

Just like Qian Daoliu. As a God Servant, he had also been brainwashed.

In his heart, god was truth.

"One more question. Has the Sea Charm Tribe had any conflicts with other forces in the sea region recently? Why do they want a quota for the Sea God's Light?"

Bidding for the Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast, bidding for Hua Luo Can Hong, seeking Sea God Island's protection.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Especially now, Su Mutian was dividing his mind to do two things at once. His clone was following the elder and the girl, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.

They seemed to be looking for someone!

Bo Saixi sighed and looked at Su Mutian faintly. "It is because of love."

"Love?!" Su Mutian was shocked.

"Supposedly, several years ago, the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess secretly went to the continent, and fell in love with a young hero. And... she has already borne him a child..."

"What does that have to do with this?"

A love story of loving and killing each other?

In the end, the two families came to blows?

Bo Saixi shook her head and said helplessly, "I had the same question at the time, but according to what the Sea Charm Tribe chief revealed to me, the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess only has two choices in her life.

"First, she guards her chastity for life, until after she inherits the God Position, after which there may be more to say.

"Second, once she has relations with someone, the Saint Origin bestowed by the Charm God leaks out, and she can only continuously seek nourishment for her soul rings from all kinds of soul masters... otherwise, the divine power will backlash, and her soul rings will gradually shatter. When that time comes, she will live a life worse than death..."

Bo Saixi's face flushed, and she did not continue.

Su Mutian understood too.

Two outcomes.

Either a holy mother, or a promiscuous mother.

"So the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess is unwilling to become a loose woman, but has no other way, and wants to borrow the Sea God's power to suppress the power of their guardian god, then use medicine to balance it and achieve a curative effect?"

At this point, Su Mutian finally managed to deduce the Sea Charm Tribe's true situation.

The records in these books were freaking unreliable!

They never said the Sea Charm Tribe had a guardian god!

What was going on?

Douluo Continent had gained another god for no reason!

And it was the Charm God!

But that was rather unfair to the writers of those books.

After all, everyone was relying on hearsay plus a certain degree of investigation. How could I know that clearly?

However, Su Mutian was curious about who the young man was who had seduced the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess.

To have such charm that a god's Saintess would do what she knew she must not?

Outstanding!

A role model for our generation!

Bo Saixi, however, glanced at Su Mutian and murmured softly:

"Good thing Lord Sea God doesn't have a taboo like that..."
