The night is getting darker, in the back hall of the Sea God Hall and the boudoir of Bo Saixi.
The moonlight shines through the hollow window lattice, spreading a silvery white shadow on the floor.
The sound of waves gently lapping against the rocks could be heard outside the window. The rhythm was slow and constant, but it could not calm the inner turmoil of the man in the room.
Bo Saixi was sitting in front of the dressing table, having changed out of the solemn priest robes he wore during the day, and was only wearing a thin moon-white silk nightgown.
The soft silk fit her perfect curves, and her slender legs were faintly visible between the opening and closing of the skirt, glowing with a lustrous luster under the moonlight.
Her long sea-blue hair was spread casually behind her shoulders, and a few strands of hair fell down on her chest, making her skin even whiter than snow.
However, at this moment, she had no intention of admiring her beautiful appearance in the mirror that could make any man fall for her.
She lowered her head and clasped her hands on her knees, her fingertips slightly twisted together due to nervousness.
Her heart was filled with unprecedented anxiety and uneasiness, as if a huge stone was pressing on her chest, making her breathless.
She didn't know how to speak.
She is afraid.
I was afraid that once I said it, I would get a rejection from Ye Qing with surprise and even a hint of disgust.
I'm afraid that my image in Ye Qing's mind will become frivolous and self-respecting.
She is even more afraid...Ye Qing will think that she is too old and not worthy of him, a future god with a promising future who is being competed by two gods.
Although Lord Sea God once said that her appearance and temperament are not inferior to Angel God.
But that's just Sea God's opinion, not Ye Qing's.
Moreover, even if they are similar in appearance, her age...
Although for Soul Master World, Peerless Douluo, who is about 100 years old, is in her prime, has good looks, and is no different from a woman in her twenties.
But compared with Ye Qing, a boy who is only fifteen years old, there is a huge gap after all.
She may not care about worldly opinions, but she has to care about Ye Qing's feelings.
Just when she was confused and restless--
"Dong dong dong."
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, the voice that she was both looking forward to and a little afraid of heard came from outside the door, with the clearness and gentleness unique to a young man:
"Bo Saixi sister, is it convenient for me to come in?"
Bo Saixi's heartbeat skipped a beat in an instant.
She quickly took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and patted her slightly hot cheek, forcing herself to look calmer.
Then she spoke, her voice carrying a hint of gentleness and nervousness that she had not even noticed:
"Okay... come in."
"Crunch--"
The door was gently pushed open, and Ye Qing stepped in.
He changed into a clean blue robe, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a hint of youthful vigor and calmness in his brows.
He saw Bo Saixi sitting by the bed, and his eyes stayed on her thin nightgown for a moment.
But he quickly moved away naturally, as if he didn't notice anything special.
He walked to Bo Saixi naturally and sat down next to her, his movements casual and intimate, as if this was a normal thing.
He turned his head slightly, looked at Bo Saixi's side face that looked a little hazy in the moonlight, and asked, with a hint of concern and curiosity in his tone:
"Sister Bo Saixi, did you call me over so late at night? What's the matter?"
Bo Saixi felt the close, warm breath of Ye Qing, and his heart beat involuntarily faster.
She lowered her head and gently held the fabric of her nightgown with both hands. She was silent for a moment and then said softly:
"Actually... it's not a big deal. It's just... I have a question I want to ask you."
Ye Qing Seeing that she was hesitant to speak and seemed to be having a hard time speaking, she became even more curious.
He didn't urge you, he just waited patiently and responded softly, "Well, you tell me, I'm listening."
Bo Saixi was silent for a while, as if he was organizing his words and cheering himself up.
Then, she spoke slowly, her voice pretending to be relaxed but obviously nervous and tentative:
"It's...Lord Sea God wants to ask."
She raised her head, glanced at Ye Qing quickly, then quickly lowered her head, her voice a little lower:
"Lord Sea God wants to know... do you have... that kind of... feeling between a man and a woman for Angel God...?"
Ye Qing was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Bo Saixi would suddenly ask this.
Bo Saixi did not wait for his answer and continued, with a subtle tremor in his voice. "Or... if... I mean if... Angel God really wants to marry you... will you... dislike her... for being too old or something like that..."
After saying this, Bo Saixi felt that his heartbeat was so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his chest.
She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion.
She chose to use this method to test Ye Qing's attitude from the side.
If Ye Qing doesn't mind Angel God's age, then there's a high chance that he won't mind her either.
After all, as Lord Sea God once said.
No matter how old she is, can she still be as big as Angel God?
That's impossible.
Angel God is a god who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Compared with her, he, who is over a hundred years old, actually looks "young".
Therefore, as long as Ye Qing doesn't mind the biggest obstacle of age, then there is only one remaining problem.
That is, in Ye Qing's mind, is her appearance really better than Angel God's?
And if he reveals his feelings... who will he choose in the end?
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then he couldn't help laughing.
He shook his head and his tone was natural and free:
"Why do I dislike her age?"
He looked at Bo Saixi with clear and honest eyes. "As long as you are good-looking and loyal to me, that's all. Age is not a problem at all for a being like me who is destined to become a god and have an endless lifespan."
"There is a saying that goes well - a female who is a junior in college will receive a gold brick; a female who is in her 30s will receive a country; a female who will be a 300-year-old woman will receive elixirs; a female who will be in a 3000-year-old college... will be among the immortals!"
He spread his hands and said with a smile, "Look, Angel God is much older than me now, but as long as I become a god, we will live together for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. Does this age difference still matter? Gods can live forever, and time is nothing to us."
Bo Saixi After hearing Ye Qing's "open-minded" remarks, his hanging heart finally let go of half of it.
The age issue she was most worried about seemed to be no obstacle at all with Ye Qing.
