Out on the vast sea.
Lin Xiao rode atop a single leaf, crossing the ocean.
The reason he had not chosen to use his Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings to fly straight over was that he wanted to admire the scenery at sea and see how much it differed from what he remembered.
Even riding a single leaf over the waves, Lin Xiao still arrived at Sea God Island in an extremely short time.
When Bo Saixi saw him, her gaze was complicated, and she came up to greet him at once.
"Lin Xiao, you're here."
Lin Xiao nodded.
"Long time no see, High Priest."
Bo Saixi hesitated, then still spoke haltingly.
"When Bing'er returned to the island last time, I originally wanted to sacrifice myself to her immediately, but then I received the message you sent. Bing'er refused no matter what."
"I... It isn't that I'm selfish."
Lin Xiao raised his hand, cutting off what Bo Saixi was about to say next.
"High Priest, I, Lin Xiao, keep my word. If I said she can become a god without your sacrifice, then your sacrifice is not needed."
"It won't be difficult for Bing'er to become a god."
"Only, High Priest, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with something over the next few days."
Bo Saixi froze.
"What is it?"
Lin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his bearing noble and refined, yet a trace of tenderness showed in his eyes.
"My wedding with Bing'er."
Sea God Island was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Everyone knew that the newly appointed Sea God would marry the one she loved today.
And so...
The whole of Sea God Island was filled with a lively, joyous atmosphere. The lantern festival shone more brilliantly than any celebration before it.
