Background / History
Guardian of Sea God Island
Bo Saixi has commanded the seas for a century and treats the protection of Sea God Island as her highest responsibility. Her obligation to guard the divine temple normally prevents her from leaving the island, even when outside affairs demand attention 136 163 175.
Spirit Hall's invasion created a lasting blood feud with Sea God Island. Bibi Dong participated as its Holy Maiden, making her personally implicated in the islanders' losses. Qian Daoliu later visited and tested Bo Saixi's strength; her presence remained a deterrent against further Spirit Hall expansion into the ocean 135 168 169.
Despite her talent and completion of the Sea God's Eight Trials, Bo Saixi remained unable to inherit the divine position. The missing Sea God's Heart was the obstacle: its recognition was required to unlock the Sea God's Nine Trials 136 172 181.
Investigating Purple Pearl Island
Nan Feng deliberately transformed Purple Pearl Island while claiming to act under Bo Saixi's instructions. He intended its development to attract her attention and give him a less dangerous route into negotiations with Sea God Island 143 162.
Bo Saixi initially considered warning the outsider, but reports of improved housing, infrastructure, and free medical care made immediate intervention difficult to justify. She sent Xiao Bai to verify the reports, then dispatched Sea Maiden Douluo to investigate discreetly. Her instructions emphasized avoiding public exposure that could disrupt trade or unsettle the seafolk 162 163.
Sea Maiden's report revealed that Nan Feng was dead, operated through an energy body, and borrowed Bibi Dong's appearance. Bo Saixi could not reconcile his Spirit Hall connection with the benefits he had created for its potential enemies. After three days of deliberation, she formally invited him to Sea God Island to test his sincerity on her own territory 168 169.
Nan Feng's Arrival and Confinement
Bo Saixi exempted Nan Feng from the island's compulsory trial as her personally invited guest. She nevertheless activated the Sea God's Light on the Nine Heavens Mystic Stairs to probe his strength and intimidate him. When he pushed beyond his rank-98 avatar's limits, she warned him of the danger 170 171 172.
His provocations and use of Bibi Dong's face threatened to cause conflict with the island's inhabitants. Bo Saixi brought him back to the temple under her supervision, recognizing that no other defender on the island could reliably stop him. She also acknowledged that his actions had not supplied a legitimate reason to kill him 174 175.
After Nan Feng admitted that he wanted resurrection, Bo Saixi prayed to Poseidon throughout the night and proposed trying a Sacred Pillar trial. Poseidon refused because Nan Feng's soul was incomplete and tainted by the Rakshasa God's evil intent 177 178 179.
Nan Feng then offered to help her become the new Sea God in exchange for protecting and reviving him. The offer forced her to weigh gratitude against the danger posed by Bibi Dong's divine inheritance. Ultimately, she used the temple's accumulated divine power to imprison his avatar until he disclosed his intentions 181 182 184.
During the confinement, Nan Feng forcibly embraced and sexually harassed her. Bo Saixi restrained her retaliation because destroying the avatar would allow him to escape and undo her efforts to contain him 187 188.
Trade Policy and Renewed Trust
Negotiations deteriorated when Nan Feng threatened her; Bo Saixi slapped him, and their cooperation temporarily collapsed. Her response was tied to her emotional investment in finding Tang Chen. She later expressed regret for the slap and a better understanding of Nan Feng's guarded behavior 199 235.
Bo Saixi authorized a five-year exclusive trade agreement with the Heaven Dou Empire, to be followed by cooperation with the Star Luo Empire. She appointed Nan Feng to oversee Purple Pearl Island's operations while also arranging informants as protection against a possible betrayal 210 236.
When Nan Feng later reported Tang Chen's death and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's fusion with his soul, Bo Saixi remained composed. She continued trusting him with Purple Pearl Island's affairs, while Sea Maiden and Xiao Bai accompanied him inland to monitor him on her behalf 354.
The Rainbow Garment and Godhood
Bo Saixi received Nan Feng and the disguised Qian Renxue when they brought the Illusory Sea Rainbow Garment to the temple. She recognized Qian Renxue's identity and acknowledged her improvement under Nan Feng's guidance 392.
Poseidon repaired the garment and instructed Nan Feng to give it to Bo Saixi. She accepted the bracelet after hesitation, then privately questioned Sea Maiden and Xiao Bai about Nan Feng's emotional well-being. Rather than simply punishing their provocative behavior, she asked how he responded to intimacy and warned them not to exceed his boundaries 393 394.
Following a decade of peace, Bo Saixi became the Sea God shortly after Bibi Dong inherited the Asura God position. She offered to revive Nan Feng, but he declined. Their later conversation left their feelings unresolved as Nan Feng chose to distance himself from her 400 403.
Appearance
- Priestly clothing: A magnificent crimson robe trimmed with gold, reflecting her rank and authority 170.
- Scepter: Carries a brilliant golden scepter 170.
- Eyes: Described as deep as the starry sky and, elsewhere, as ocean-like 168 170.
- Features: Peerless beauty and slender, fair wrists; her expression ordinarily conveys solemn dignity 170 178 393.
- After ascension: Acquires a more profound demeanor alongside her divine powers 400.
Personality
Bo Saixi combines pride with a strong sense of responsibility. She refuses to sacrifice Sea God Island's security for personal advancement, yet finds the prospect of seizing Nan Feng's beneficial work morally troubling. Repaying kindness with betrayal conflicts with the standards she has maintained throughout her life 136 181.
Her caution is practical rather than inflexible. She verifies intelligence before acting, chooses envoys according to their temperament, and permits exceptions to island rules when circumstances justify them. Even when considering reconciliation with Spirit Hall, she remains prepared to suppress Nan Feng if she concludes that his goodwill is false 162 163 169 170.
Nan Feng repeatedly disrupts her composure, provoking anger, embarrassment, and eventually concern. Her later regret over striking him and her questions about his fear of intimacy reveal a gentler side that does not erase her vigilance 187 199 235 394.

- Walks through its crushing red-gold radiance without being suppressed 172.
- Envelops and transports Nan Feng back to the Sea God Temple 175.

Temple Divine Power and Suppression
- Draws upon the Sea God's divine power accumulated in the temple over ten thousand years 184.
- Imprisons Nan Feng's energy avatar and prevents its self-destruction 184.

- Knows the inheritance secrets surrounding the Sea God's Heart 181.
- Recognizes Qian Renxue despite her Xue Qinghe disguise 392.

Sea God Powers
- Releases vast golden divine power upon inheriting the position 400.
- Offers to resurrect Nan Feng after ascension; the supplied account does not show her performing it because he refuses 400.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Golden scepter — Her priestly implement, used when channeling soul power into the Sea Maiden Sacred Pillar 170 179.
- Crimson-and-gold priestess robe — Her characteristic ceremonial clothing 170.
- Illusory Sea Rainbow Garment — An ancient defensive Soul Tool that takes the form of a rainbow-glass bracelet. Poseidon restores its incomplete core, leaving it one step short of a true divine artifact; Nan Feng gifts it to Bo Saixi at his instruction 388 393.
Relationships
- Nan Feng — Initially a suspicious outsider using her name, later a negotiating partner and unresolved romantic attachment. Their relationship includes confinement, coercive encounters, mutual concern, and his eventual decision to withdraw emotionally 162 184 187 235 403.
- Poseidon — The deity she serves and ultimately succeeds. He intervenes partly to spare her further distress over Nan Feng and arranges the Rainbow Garment gift 283 393 400.
- Tang Chen — A longstanding emotional attachment. Nan Feng considers him an obstacle to winning her over; matters concerning his whereabouts provoke a strong response, though she later receives news of his death calmly 136 199 354.
- Bibi Dong — An enemy associated with Spirit Hall's invasion and a potential divine threat. Bo Saixi acknowledges her exceptional talent but declares that, if she becomes Sea God, she intends to destroy Spirit Hall and confront its Pope 168 180 182.
- Qian Daoliu — A rival whose earlier visit tested her defensive strength. His knowledge of her power helps deter renewed attacks on the ocean 169.
- Sea Maiden Douluo — Her chosen envoy and later observer of Nan Feng. Bo Saixi tolerates her mischievousness but warns her against violating his personal boundaries 163 210 394.
- Xiao Bai — Sea God Island's guardian beast and a trusted investigator. Her loyalty makes her Bo Saixi's preferred source when Sea Maiden gives evasive answers 162 393 394.
- Qian Renxue — Qian Daoliu's granddaughter. Bo Saixi sees through her disguise and credits Nan Feng with helping her improve 392.
Notable Quotes
“Regarding Purple Pearl Island, Sea God Island truly owes you an enormous debt of gratitude.” 181
“No. He... doesn't quite dare to face me.” 393
“He knows my character. I would never rashly pick a fight with someone for no reason.” 405
Trivia
- Bo Saidong is not Bo Saixi's relative. It is the false name Nan Feng gives the disguised Bibi Dong. His comparison of “Dong” with “Xi”—east and west—causes bystanders to speculate about a family connection 242.
- Nan Feng originally identifies Bo Saixi and Sea God Island as a possible source of protection against the Angel God's lineage, well before approaching her directly 68.
