Come at Me

If Sea Illusion had merely been worried about the Young God and the High Priest's anger.

Then the others could be said to have had their jaws drop, their entire worldview collapsing.

As an existence akin to the central authority of the sea, Sea God Island naturally managed the entire ocean as one.

And these seven guardian Douluo of the sea were akin to feudal kings, each with their own maritime territory.

Though they often stayed on Sea God Island, they still needed to leave the island from time to time to inspect things.

And the Trade Islands lay within the sea region under Sea Illusion Douluo's overall management.

Someone like him had always stood high above others, with people bowing and scraping before him.

When had he ever been like this? Sea Illusion Douluo was actually being so respectful, without the slightest bit of airs!

Even Elder Kui, Elder Man, and Bei'er of the Sea Charm Tribe could not help being shocked.

Even if they had known before.

That the Young God of Sea God Island was adored by all.

They still had never imagined that Su Mutian could make one of Sea God's Seven Sons like Sea Illusion Douluo kneel in willing submission.

Su Mutian's heart jolted. He had absolutely never expected Sea Illusion Douluo to do this!

To be honest, aside from important festivals and the like on Sea God Island, Su Mutian did not often see Sea God's Seven Sons.

Only Bo Saixi could frequently run to Sea God Hall.

Even when Sea God's Seven Sons saw Su Mutian, they merely watched from afar.

So their feelings could not be considered deep.

Actually, this was Bo Saixi's doing.

Sea God's Seven Sons followed the High Priest's lead in everything, and Bo Saixi followed Su Mutian's lead in everything. In other words, she had done plenty to brainwash Sea God's Seven Sons.

What shocked Su Mutian was that although Sea Illusion Douluo was kneeling on one knee, it did not look like he was paying respects to the dead.

But.

It looked a lot like a proposal, damn it!

If he held out another bouquet of flowers, paired it with an affectionate gaze, and passersby started cheering... that would be an outright proposal!

"Get up."

Su Mutian reached out and helped Sea Illusion Douluo up, his smile like a spring breeze intoxicating three hundred miles, peach blossoms swirling close at hand.

"This time, I secretly came out to inspect the situation across the seas. It's normal that you didn't know. Also, it would be best not to tell the High Priest."

Su Mutian deliberately reminded him.

"Understood."

Sea Illusion Douluo felt Su Mutian support his hidden arm, and the admiration in his heart for the Young God could not help growing even stronger.

The Young God was indeed amazing. His illusory arm had nowhere to hide before the Young God.

And the Young God was actually so amiable!

In the past, at Sea Woman Douluo's instigation, Sea God's Seven Sons had once secretly watched the Young God, but even then they had only dared to look from afar, not approach.

At the time, they had only felt he was an exiled immortal descending from the heavens, someone to be admired from a distance and not profaned.

Now, with their faces less than thirty inches apart, Sea Illusion Douluo only felt the Young God's face make him hold his breath, not daring to relax. Tension and amazement gathered together entirely.

Sunlight shone on the side of his face, his lashes stirring slightly. What a picture of an immortal!

Gulp~

The hand Sea Illusion Douluo had supported by Su Mutian trembled nervously, and he suddenly nodded. "Young God, Sea Illusion will definitely keep your outing secret."

"That's good."

Su Mutian was relieved.

But then Sea Illusion Douluo, this usually aloof blockhead, flicked his gaze aside and saw Tang Chen...

Good grief.

Sea Illusion Douluo directly stood in front of Su Mutian and said in a low, nervous voice, "Young God, be careful of this man. He is very strong. Only when Sea God's Seven Sons joined forces did we successfully suppress him. But rest assured, Young God. Unless he steps over Sea Illusion's body, he can forget about getting anywhere near you!"

Noticing Sea Illusion Douluo's little movements, Elder Kui smiled knowingly.

She did not understand what had happened to Tang Chen on Sea God Island, but judging by Lord Sea Illusion's expression, he was clearly not friendly toward Tang Chen either.

Wahahahaha!

That little bastard Tang Chen had actually provoked Sea God Island!

You damn thing, how are you not dead yet?

Elder Kui laughed wildly in her heart.

Elder Man reacted faster. She pushed Saintess Bei'er and quietly reminded her, "Hurry and apologize to the Young God."

"Your aunt!"

Elder Man added another sentence.

"Bei'er greets the Young God. Just now, I did not know the Young God's identity, and I even less knew that the Young God was this handsome. Truly, the heavens and earth have nurtured wisdom, and outstanding people rise from blessed lands. For someone like you, Young God, I wonder if you would like to visit our Sea Charm Tribe's tribal land and have a look..."

This hopeless girl...

Elder Man did not know whether to laugh or cry.

I told you to apologize. What are you rambling about?

She wanted to pull her back from behind.

Good grief, instead of retreating, she advanced!

As Bei'er approached, she giggled and said, "Our Sea Charm Tribe has a kind of sea wine called Spring Wine.

It is made from Charm Grass unique to our tribal land. It is especially fragrant and rich, and can nourish Soul Power and strengthen the body.

Of course, the Young God's Soul Power is powerful, so naturally you don't need these special effects, but it tastes very good~"

Seeing this girl speak as she drew closer and closer, with a dizzying fragrance drifting from her body, combined with that tight skirt, Su Mutian nearly fainted from the charm.

Fortunately, Bo Saixi's resentful little face appeared in his mind in time.

Otherwise, he would almost have fallen for it!

This woman was actually using charm arts on him!

Mmp!

"Do not be rude!" Elder Kui dispersed Bei'er's charm arts with a rebuke and glared at her fiercely.

Using charm arts on the Young God—did she have a death wish?

Moreover, this was not a good sign.

Bei'er, oh Bei'er, you must never learn from your aunt.

You absolutely cannot lose yourself in beauty!

Elder Kui, however, did not forget her original purpose.

She said respectfully, "The Young God said just now that this matter has already been discussed with our tribe leader. May I ask what the solution is?"

"Discussed? Discussed what?" Sea Illusion Douluo tilted his head, just happening to lean close beside Su Mutian's face as he asked Elder Kui.

Elder Kui smiled without speaking and waited for Su Mutian to answer.

"The outcome is ultimately good," Su Mutian said vaguely.

But that sentence was enough.

The outcome was ultimately good, which meant the deal had been reached, and Sea God Island was willing to accept the Sea Charm Tribe as a new friend.

"Wait, what did you discuss? Is it about Luo'er?"

Tang Chen stood forward.

"Young God, I, Tang Chen, am the grand elder of the Clear Sky Sect and also hold the position of sect master. Though I am not like the Sea Charm Tribe, clinging the Clear Sky Sect to myself and staking the sect for selfish reasons.

But as long as the Young God is willing to help me, Tang Chen, with this, what Tang Chen said just now will count for all eternity!"

"You're dreaming!"

Elder Kui had not expected Tang Chen's status to be so noble. Although she did not understand the situation on land, she had still heard of a top sect like the Clear Sky Sect.

To hold the position of sect master, his strength... Titled Douluo?

Su Mutian gave Tang Chen a deep look.

This was putting him in a dilemma.

As the saying went, better to tear down ten temples than ruin one marriage.

If he broke them up, would that be somewhat immoral?

Su Mutian shook his head again.

Judging from the plot development in later generations.

There was no news of Tang Chen's child and wife at all.

It was very likely to be this situation:

After Tang Hao fell for Bo Saixi, he clashed with the Sea Charm Tribe, charged into the Sea Charm Tribe's tribal land, and prepared to forcibly take away his wife and child.

If Tang Chen had no other women or children, then this child had in fact been carried away by him.

As for the Sea Charm Tribe Saintess called Luo'er, most likely, she had also ended up dead.

He pursed his lips.

Su Mutian paced away.

Then he abruptly looked back and beckoned to Tang Chen. "Come here."
