Facing Bo Saixi's questioning with expectation and anxiety, Ye Qing did not directly answer yes or no.
The sly smile on his face deepened, and he rolled his eyes and asked a question:
"Then sister Bo Saixi, let me ask you a question first."
Bo Saixi was slightly startled. "What's the problem?"
Ye Qing puffed up his chest and asked seriously:
"Do you think... who is more handsome, me or Lord Sea God?"
"..."
Bo Saixi never expected that Ye Qing would suddenly ask such a question...
Well, such a tricky and narcissistic question.
She was stunned for a moment, her blue eyes widened slightly, looking at Ye Qing's face with a narrow smile, she felt dumbfounded for a moment.
How did she answer this?
On one side is the supreme god who has served for nearly a hundred years and is her faith and master.
On the other side was the boy in front of her who made her feel uneasy and even asked embarrassing questions like "who is more beautiful"...
She lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks became more intense, and even her slender neck was dyed pink.
She was silent for a moment, and finally, in a voice as thin as a mosquito's moan that was almost blown away by the sea breeze, she whispered:
"You... you are handsome..."
Although the sound was small, it clearly reached Ye Qing's ears in the silent night.
Ye Qing Hearing this, a discerning and satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.
He clapped his hands, as if he had won a victory, and said with a smile:
"That's okay!"
He looked at Bo Saixi and said confidently:
"Since sister Bo Saixi thinks I'm more handsome than Lord Sea God, then in my heart, sister Bo Saixi is naturally more beautiful than Angel God! This is called... fair exchange and worldly relations! Do you understand?"
Bo Saixi was stunned when he heard this.
Then he realized that he had been tricked by Ye Qing!
She raised her head in confusion, looked at Ye Qing's face with a proud smile, and couldn't help but scolded:
"Okay, are you waiting for me here? Then... then if I say Lord Sea God is more handsome than you, do you have to say that Angel God is more beautiful than me?"
Ye Qing nodded without hesitation, with a matter-of-fact expression. "Of course! Do you still need to ask? If you say nice things about me, I will naturally say nice things about you. If you say bad things about me, then I will definitely have to 'repay' you. This is called the basic principle of interpersonal communication. Sister Bo Saixi, you have lived for so many years, you don't even understand this, right?"
"You...!"
Bo Saixi was so angry at Ye Qing's fallacies that he was speechless for a moment.
But looking at his confident appearance, as if he was the "just" party, I couldn't help but feel angry.
She stretched out her finger and tapped Ye Qing. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
However, maybe it was the relaxed atmosphere, or maybe the question about "who is more beautiful" just now started a conversation.
Or maybe it was because the moonlight was so beautiful and the sea breeze was so gentle that she let go of her usual reserve and defensiveness...
Bo Saixi suddenly asked a question that even she herself had not expected:
"Then let me ask you..."
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blurry mist under the moonlight, and she looked straight at Ye Qing, her voice carrying a trace of nervousness and expectation that even she herself was not aware of:
"If... I mean if..."
"Let you choose someone between me and Angel God... if you get married..."
"Would you choose...Angel God... or... me?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to freeze instantly.
The smile on Ye Qing's face froze instantly.
He froze on the spot, his eyes widened, and his mind went blank as he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who asked such an "earth-shattering" question.
And Bo Saixi, the moment he asked this question, he suddenly woke up as if he was struck by thunder!
She looked at Ye Qing's stunned expression.
Then he recalled what he had just asked.
That beautiful face was instantly like a fire, and it was so red that it seemed like it was about to bleed!
"I... I'm not... I didn't mean that!"
She tried to explain incoherently, but the more anxious she became, the less clear she became:
"I mean... I... I just... that... you heard it wrong! Yes! You heard it wrong! I didn't say anything!"
She stood up in a panic, and even staggered because she moved too quickly.
She did not dare to look into Ye Qing's eyes anymore. Like a frightened rabbit, she turned around, lifted up her skirt, and without looking back, ran quickly towards the Sea God Hall's back hall, which was her own boudoir.
That back view was full of the meaning of running away.
Only Ye Qing was left alone, sitting on the rock blankly.
He looked at Bo Saixi's back that quickly disappeared into the moonlight. After a long while, he slowly came back to his senses.
He took a breath and touched his chin, his eyes full of confusion and thinking:
"Hiss... what does this mean?"
"Are you talking out of anger? Or... are you talking from your heart?"
He shook his head, feeling that the amount of information tonight was a bit large and needed to be digested.
On the other side, Bo Saixi trotted all the way back to his room and closed the door with a bang.
Then he leaned back against the cold door, his chest heaving violently, and he gasped for air.
Her cheeks were still surprisingly hot.
She raised her hands and covered her hot cheeks, feeling her heart beating so fast that it seemed as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
"Oh my god... I... what did I just say!"
She was extremely uneasy, full of annoyance and shyness.
How could she ask such a question?
She is Sea God Island Grand Pontiff!
It's Peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine!
How could you be so out of sorts?
She walked to the window, opened it, and let the cool night sea breeze blow in, trying to calm herself down.
But in his mind, the scene just now was constantly replayed, as well as Ye Qing's stunned expression.
"He... what will he think of me? Will he think I'm weird? Will he..."
She was upset and couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Bo Saixi It was difficult to suppress the chaotic thoughts in my heart.
I just felt a little sleepy and was about to close my eyes and rest for a while--
"Grand Pontiff!"
Sea Horse Douluo's voice with a hint of urgency and weirdness suddenly rang outside the hall, breaking the tranquility of the early morning:
"Clear Sky Sect... There's someone here again!"
"Should... my subordinates just throw him into the sea and feed him to the fish?"
Bo Saixi Hearing this, his eyes that were originally a little hazy due to sleepiness instantly became clear and sharp!
Clear Sky Sect?
Someone comes again?
Six years ago, Tang Hao came and died at Sea God Island.
Now, after six years, Clear Sky Sect has sent someone again?
Are you here... to avenge Tang Hao?
Or... are you here to find out information?
Can't?
There should be no leaks about Tang Hao's death.
Could it be...
Clear Sky Sect What does it already know?
Bo Saixi's sleepiness disappeared instantly.
She quickly sat up from the bed, straightened her slightly messy dress and long hair, with a calm light shining in her eyes.
After a brief pause, she opened her mouth and gave instructions, her voice returning to its usual coldness and majesty:
"No need. Take him to wait outside the Sea God Hall first. I'll be there later. I'll understand the situation first."
"Yes, Grand Pontiff!" Sea Horse Douluo outside the hall responded, and then the footsteps disappeared.
Bo Saixi took a breath, stood up, walked to the mirror, looked at his beautiful face in the mirror that was still radiant despite not sleeping all night, and stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes and bun.
Then, she opened the door, but instead of going to the Sea God Hall immediately, she first walked towards the room where Ye Qing lived.
Clear Sky Sect's arrival is no small matter.
She felt that it was necessary to talk to Ye Qing first and listen to his views.
After all, although this kid is young, he has many clever ideas and can often see the essence of things.
And...
After the embarrassing confession incident last night, she didn't know how to face Ye Qing alone.
But at this moment, when business is at hand, I don't care about that much anymore.
She walked elegantly and calmly, and the morning light shone on her white dress, giving her a golden halo.
It was just the slightly twinkling eyes that revealed the ripples in her heart that had not yet completely calmed down.
