Unfortunately, no matter how well Bo Saixi performed, she was ultimately not a professional actress.

In front of Lin Hai, a veteran actor, her facial expressions were completely exposed.

'It seems that besides looking for me, the Divine Realm must have given her other orders,' Lin Hai wondered to himself. 'Could it be that they want to kill me?'

Wait a minute... Someone recently appeared in Heaven Dou City, exuding extreme killing intent, with combat power no weaker than level 98...

It seems I'm not the only one who meets these three conditions!

If Tang Hao were to unleash his full power, he would definitely possess a combat strength of level 98!

If Bo Saixi really attacks Tang Hao, even if she fails to kill him in the end, there will probably be no possibility between her and Tang Chen anymore.

But... would she really kill Tang Hao? What if the divine Divine Realm's instructions to her weren't to kill?

Lin Hai couldn't help but feel conflicted.

To say that he had no feelings for such a stunning beauty would be utter self-deception.

Moreover, he also has the opportunity to reap huge benefits from it.

After all, Bo Saixi herself was a woman with a story, and the longer a person lives, the deeper their obsessions tend to be, and the greater the probability of resonating with the Divine Artifact.

As for Qian Daoliu... well, he can't catch up with him anyway, so just offer your blessings!

Bo Saixi was unaware that her performance had been seen through, and was still silently praying:

"Divine Will, please don't blame me, I had no choice!"

To divert Lin Hai's attention, she proactively changed the subject:

"In addition, the Lord Sea God also instructed me to find the whereabouts of the Heart of the Sea God."

"However, this task can now be considered completed."

"Once I find that person, I will return to Sea God Island immediately!"

Sea God followed her words and said:

'Very good! Then you can stay with Lin Hai for the time being.'

"His intelligence network is very good; with his assistance, finding people will be much easier."

These words were naturally at Lin Hai's behest.

Tang Hao alone is not enough to be safe; he should try to win over this great beauty beforehand.

Bo Saixi was initially attracted to Tang Chen, perhaps because of his talent and domineering personality.

But now times have changed, and the obsession has become a thing of the past.

Even if I am very talented and domineering, I would probably have to put in a lot of effort to win her heart.

There's nothing I can do; it's just that I was born too late!

"Yes, Lord Sea God!" Bo Saixi nodded respectfully in response.

Anyway, she didn't know Tang Chen's exact whereabouts. If Lin Hai was really well-informed, there might be some unexpected surprises.

What she was struggling with at that moment was: what should she do if the target really was Lin Hai?

On one side is the order from the Sea God himself, and on the other side is the protection of the Sea God's Divine Sense... plus Tang Chen's intelligence.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Hmm... I'm far from the sea now, and my strength is no longer at its peak.

Facing an opponent with a combat power of level 98, even if you really want to kill them, it probably won't be that easy to succeed.

Before she knew it, Bo Saixi had already rationalized her decision and finally decided... to wait and see.

On the way back to Shrek, Bo Saixi couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Lin Hai, there's something I've never understood."

"Why did people look at us with admiration when we checked into the hotel, but then look at us with pity when we left?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.

What else could it be? They must think I'm moving too fast!

That's a complete misjudgment of my abilities!

But it's really hard to say such a blunt truth openly.

The woman before me appears noble and aloof on the surface, yet retains an innocent and naive heart. Coupled with her prestigious status, she is simply the epitome of perfection.

If one's character is corrupted by worldly affairs, it is one's own loss.

"They probably felt it was a waste that we booked a room for a whole day but only stayed for a short while before leaving," Lin Hai explained without changing his expression.

"After all, the Seven Treasures Grand Hotel isn't cheap; a single night's room fee is enough for an average family..."

"Forget it, why bother telling you all this?"

"You, the High Priestess of Sea God Island, would never understand things like prices. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

He subtly steered the conversation.

Bo Saixi wasn't surprised that Lin Hai knew her identity. She glanced at him indifferently, her seemingly calm tone carrying a hint of resentment:

"Don't make hasty judgments at such a young age."

"Although I don't need to handle the daily affairs of Sea God Island personally, I still have a basic understanding of the situation after so many years."

"In order to trade with Vast Sea City, we on Sea God Island also use gold, silver and copper soul coins."

At this point, a hint of pride crept into her voice:

"In recent years, your Spirit Hall on the mainland has developed new uses for Whale Rubber, causing its price to skyrocket. Our Sea God Island has taken this opportunity to make a considerable profit."

At this point, she sighed softly and muttered to herself, "Speaking of which, it's been many years since Qian Daoliu and I last saw each other."

On Sea God Island, she only had superiors and subordinates, and Qian Daoliu was her only friend.

Seeing that Bo Saixi was somewhat sad, Lin Hai also sighed in a mock manner, "Speaking of which, it's been many years since I last saw Qian Daoliu!"

Bo Saixi glared at Lin Hai and subconsciously tapped the back of his head:

"Do all people from Shrek enjoy mimicking others' speech?"

She was referring to the incident where Ning Rongrong imitated Xing Aotian's speech.

Lin Hai rubbed the back of his head and complained, "I didn't mimic your way of speaking. I really haven't seen the Great Enshrined for many years!"

"You call him the Great Enshrined?" Bo Saixi, slightly surprised. "Are you from the Spirit Hall?"

"Shh—" Lin Hai put his index finger to his lips and whispered:

"I'm only telling you this: I'm the one who discovered the new use for Whale Rubber. I deserve some credit for the good life you're living on Sea God Island!"

"Nobody would believe you!" Bo Saixi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

"Haha! You're right not to believe me!"

"How has Qian Daoliu been doing these past few years?"

"..."

The two strolled along, chatting as they went.

From the current situation of Qian Daoliu to the local customs and culture of Sea God Island... the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Within his Dantian Space, the Sea God laughed:

"Brother Bodhi, I think this kid has probably taken a liking to my High Priestess again!"

The Bodhi Ancient Tree said leisurely, "You old codger, you even understand matters of love between men and women?"

"What are you talking about? Everyone's been young once!" Sea God retorted, unconvinced. "Besides, brother, you're probably much older than me, aren't you?"

The Bodhi Ancient Tree mimicked His previous tone. "No need to test us, we're all on the same side!"

"Hahaha!" Sea God burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Well said, we're all on the same side!"

Inwardly, however, he thought to himself, "Bo Saixi is right, you people just love to mimic what others say! Our own people? Our own people are always hiding things!"
