Mermaid Love

Inside Sea God Hall.

Golden lamps and silver cups, the dim light casting its hue as Bo Saixi gazed quietly through the curtains at the enormous statue of the Sea God.

She muttered to herself.

Why was the Young God so concerned even about this child's marriage?

Ever since Tang Po came to Sea God Island, the Young God would visit him from time to time.

It was as though he were Tang Po's biological father.

Most outrageous of all, the Young God actually seemed to be considering taking Tang Po as his godson!!!

Holy shit, the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Bo Saixi's pupils widened.

It was simply unbelievable!

The Young God...

The Young God's paternal instincts had overflowed!

My heavens!

How old was the Young God? And yet he already had such intense affection for children!

Still, when she thought about it, Su Mutian was indeed no longer young.

Twelve years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Once Tang Hao grew up, he would be at the level of a father... no! An ancestor!

Thinking this, Su Mutian touched his face, suddenly struck by the feeling that things had changed and times had shifted...

Pah!

With Sea God Hall's protection and Su Mutian's demigod bearing, his appearance had not changed at all.

"Little Po is eighteen now, isn't he? At that age, he should find a wife to take care of him. Besides, Mei Luo'er is also hoping he'll marry."

Ever since Mei Luo'er scattered her spirit rings twelve years ago, she had gradually recovered and was now quite normal.

The fact that Mei Luo'er was still alive had also increased the Tang Chen storyline deviation by ten percent.

That was something worth celebrating.

Su Mutian added softly, "Little Po may not be an unparalleled handsome man, but he is fairly good-looking. And in the future, he'll at least become a Spirit Titled Douluo. Even becoming a Titled Douluo won't be difficult.

"It shouldn't be hard for him to find a wife, right?"

Bo Saixi said, "Saixi understands. I'll keep an eye out."

"Mm."

After a moment, Su Mutian said softly, "I heard Tang Po gets along quite well with Old Blackhead's daughter. They flirt a lot in their daily lives. Do the two of them perhaps have a chance?"

At this moment, Su Mutian looked every bit the gossip, while also resembling an old father worried that his son would never find a wife.

The corner of Bo Saixi's mouth twitched. The Young God's observations... really were meticulous...

Old Blackhead was the captain of the merchant ship Su Mutian had taken when leaving Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi had searched through all the residents of Sea God Island, and Old Blackhead was truly the only Weapon Spirit Master who met the requirements.

Bo Saixi nodded. "I'll have Sea Maiden arrange these matters shortly."

"No!"

Su Mutian pursed his lips and said seriously, "This matter is extremely important. It would be best if you handled it personally. Sorry for the trouble."

"Extremely important?"

Bo Saixi's expression became even stranger.

She suddenly felt as though she had fallen out of favor.

Bo Saixi rose to her feet and leaned on her scepter. "I understand, Young God. I will take full responsibility for Little Po's marriage and arrange it as soon as possible."

"Mm."

Su Mutian was finally somewhat relieved. "But the specifics should still depend on Little Po and the girl's wishes. Try to make it happen, but don't force them. Otherwise, it will only lead to tragedy."

Matters concerning the Tang Family had to be handled with utmost caution.

It would be best not to offend them on the surface while still changing the direction of the storyline.

After all, in a fantasy world, even without Tang San, there would still be someone similar to Tang San.

After being oppressed, they would roar, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—do not look down on a poor young man... Aahhh! My fate is mine, not Heaven's!"

That was another world.

An extremely dangerous one.

Sometimes, you wouldn't even know how you died.

But being cautious didn't mean enduring everything in silence.

Sometimes, hesitation only brought chaos.

A choice had to be made. One had to face the difficulties head-on and cut through the mess decisively.

Killing was not the only way to solve a problem, but it was definitely the fastest way to get out of trouble for the time being.

For example, Tang Po getting married and having children.

He had to give this old man one as soon as possible!

Give birth to Tang Hao for this old man!

Immediately, at once!

There were still eighteen years until the thirty-year agreement with Tang Chen. Training Tang Hao would be a sure thing!

A month later.

Bo Saixi stood at the entrance to the Sea God Hall, frowning anxiously. "Young God, this is bad!"

Su Mutian turned back and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Bo Saixi said, "Young God, didn't you ask me to keep an eye out for whether Little Po had someone he liked? I investigated nearly everyone on Sea God Island who had come into contact with him, and I really did find something."

Su Mutian said happily, "Isn't that a good thing? Speak! If they're suitable, let them get married immediately!"

Bo Saixi: "..."

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Looking at the eager Young God, Bo Saixi was at a loss for words.

This matter... was truly absurd. Moral decay... no, it was simply too unbearable to look at!

Bo Saixi cautiously reminded him, "Young God, do you remember what happened twelve years ago, when we healed Mei Luo'er from the backlash of the Charm God's divine power?"

Wasn't that obvious?

He had played a perfect hand, resolving the tragic fates of the three Limit Douluo and untangling the knot between sworn enemies.

"Of course I remember. You needed a whole month of recuperation before you recovered."

Bo Saixi recalled the scene of Su Mutian feeding her soup. Even after so long, it still lingered before her eyes.

It was hard to forget...

Bo Saixi said seriously, "Young God, do you remember that the Sea Charm Tribe once purchased a Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast to help soothe Mei Luo'er after she lost her mind?

Afterward, Mei Luo'er would still occasionally become mentally disturbed, so the Sea Charm Tribe kept that Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast on Sea God Island.

For convenience, the Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast was sealed in the waters not far from Mei Luo'er's residence..."

Bo Saixi looked up at Su Mutian.

She did not continue.

But Su Mutian immediately... vaguely... faintly... gradually understood.

If he remembered correctly, that mermaid was female.

Su Mutian exclaimed, "Xi'er, are you saying he fell in love with that Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast?!"

That was far too wild!

It was ten thousand years old, not a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. It had not reached the threshold for Humanoid Transformation!

It merely looked somewhat human.

As for reproductive isolation...

Su Mutian was confused.

Did Douluo even have such a thing?

Bo Saixi nodded with a complicated, helpless expression. "Mm..."

"How is that possible?"

Su Mutian was dumbfounded.

He had actually been rather close to that little brat Tang Po.

When he saw him hopping out of the mermaid's sealed area every day, he had thought Tang Po was happy because the mermaid could soothe his mother.

But this brat...

The main issue was that the Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast couldn't even speak human language. It still flapped around with a tail, its beastly nature not yet faded.

If you said they had developed a friendship, he could believe it. But love...

Too painful to look at, too painful to look at!

One family produced three heroes: Ban Gu, Ban Chao, and Ban Zhao.

One family produced three masters of literature: Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe.

Three Soul Beast Husbands in One Family: Tang Po, Tang Hao, and Tang San.

Good grief.

So the source of the Tang Family father-and-son tradition of taking soul beasts as wives was right here!

I'm speechless!

"At first, I didn't dare believe it either. Not until I saw Tang Po communicating with that Ten Thousand Year Mermaid Spirit Beast at the Mermaid Forbidden Ground. The look in his eyes made me feel that something was seriously wrong..."

Bo Saixi revealed the truth.

What the hell was this?

He'd fallen in love with a soul beast!

It was truly unheard of and unseen!

"And what about Old Blackhead's daughter and Tang Po?" Su Mutian asked again.

Bo Saixi said, "I haven't seen any signs of infidelity."

Su Mutian: "..."
