Everyone Was Moved

Under the system's guidance, Lin Xiao followed the NPC route to a magnificent palace.

The palace stood at the highest point of Sea God Island. More than a dozen towering pillars surrounded the entire structure, each carved with dragons and phoenixes.

From afar, the dragons and phoenixes on the stone pillars seemed to have come alive, coiling within the columns with lifelike splendor.

Above the main hall hung a plaque bearing three bold words: "Sea God Hall!"

"This is the place."

Inside the hall.

"Huh?"

Bo Saixi stared at the Sea God in astonishment, hardly believing her ears.

"Xiao Xi, you're already over a hundred years old. It's time to start talking about marriage. What do you think of this child, Lin Xiao?"

Bo Saixi sprang from her chair. "Sea God, did I hear you correctly? You want me to marry some little brat?"

Poseidon chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, the doors of the Sea God Hall were violently shoved open.

Lin Xiao froze the moment he entered. Seeing the scene before him, he could not help stopping in his tracks.

Apart from the stone pillars he had seen outside, two orderly rows of Spirit Masters stood around the hall. Each wore blue armor, carried a long halberd, and had icy eyes.

Several elderly men seated in chairs rose at the same time, glaring furiously at the young man who had barged in without permission.

"How presumptuous!" Sea Horse Douluo roared. "Brat, who are you? How dare you trespass into the Sea God Hall!"

Bo Saixi was stunned. Wasn't that Lin Xiao? How had he found this place?

Poseidon, seated in his chair, smiled. "Enough, Sea Horse. You may all withdraw."

Sea Horse Douluo turned around, looking at the Sea God in confusion. Yet he could not disobey the Sea God's command, so he could only leave the Sea God Hall helplessly.

The others followed suit, leaving only Bo Saixi behind.

"Lin Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Bo Saixi hurriedly scolded him. Other than the guards, only Titled Douluo were allowed to enter the Sea God Hall. Anyone else who trespassed would be put to death.

Lin Xiao was a genius. It would be a pity if he died so easily.

"Big Sister, didn't you say I could stay as long as I caught up to you? I'm here."

Bo Saixi's expression changed. Just as she was about to say something, Poseidon laughed.

"Not bad, not bad. To find this place, young friend, you are indeed impressive."

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao cupped his hands and bowed. "This junior, Lin Xiao, pays respects to the Sea God."

Poseidon was not surprised. As a descendant of the Asura God, Lin Xiao was naturally extremely sensitive to auras. There were not many who could sense his aura and determine his identity.

"No need for such courtesy, young friend. I heard that your martial soul is a parasitic manifestation?"

"Yes."

Poseidon narrowed his eyes. Could it be a mutated martial soul?

"Sea God, I'll take him away immediately."

Bo Saixi hurried to Lin Xiao's side, grabbed his right hand, and prepared to leave.

Poseidon said nothing, merely smiling meaningfully.

It was as though he knew everything.

After leaving the Sea God Hall, Bo Saixi brought Lin Xiao to an open area and threw him to the ground.

"Are you insane? Do you know the consequences of trespassing into the Sea God Hall?"

Lin Xiao said, "No. I only know about the task Big Sister gave me."

"You!" Bo Saixi was furious. She could not understand what this little brat was trying to do.

Lin Xiao took a small box from his Soul Tool. When he opened it, Bo Saixi's pupils contracted.

"I made these mung bean cakes myself. Big Sister, give them a try."

Bo Saixi drew in a breath. How many years had it been since she had last seen mung bean cakes? When she had been a young girl, they had been her favorite food.

But ever since she had settled on Sea God Island, she had never eaten them again.

"You... how do you know how to make these?"

The frost on Bo Saixi's face turned to shock. No one on Sea God Island had ever encountered anyone who could make pastries. How could this little brat possibly know how?

Lin Xiao walked over to Bo Saixi. "Try one."

Bo Saixi had wanted to refuse, but when she saw Lin Xiao's expectant expression, she could only pick up a pastry from the box.

She could not understand why Lin Xiao knew what she liked to eat.

Not only that, Lin Xiao knew plenty more. With System Daddy's help, he knew what Bo Saixi liked to eat and drink, what time she went to sleep, and so on.

Bo Saixi parted her cherry lips and took a gentle bite. A rich fragrance burst across her mouth. The flavor was exactly the same as what she had eaten back then.

Memories of the past replayed in her mind.

Lin Xiao was delighted as he watched Bo Saixi become absorbed in the pastry. It seemed he had made the right choice.

Sure enough, with System Daddy around, Tang San, Tang Hao, and the Clear Sky Sect were all trash.

After swallowing the pastry, Bo Saixi unknowingly shed a crystal-clear tear.

"How... did you make it?"

Faced with Bo Saixi's question, Lin Xiao smiled. "Don't worry. I'll make them for you every day from now on."

Bo Saixi's delicate body trembled. Her slightly dazed eyes looked at Lin Xiao. "Why do you..."

Before Bo Saixi could finish, Lin Xiao waved his hand, turned around, and left.

As the saying went, sometimes you had to play hard to get.

Sure enough, after Lin Xiao left, Bo Saixi stood there in a daze. Only when the sun and moon rose again did she vanish from the spot.

Student dormitory.

After reaching the rank of Spirit Emperor, Lin Xiao had been assigned a private apartment by the academy. Only powerhouses above the rank of Soul King could receive one.

This was the treatment reserved for the strong.

Lin Xiao waved his right hand, and a white glow appeared before him. Soon, it condensed into a man dressed in white robes.

This man was Li Bai, one of Lin Xiao's second martial souls.

From what Lin Xiao understood, perhaps other King of Glory characters would emerge in the future and become his martial souls as well.

If that was the case, then he could obtain martial souls unlike those of ordinary people.

"Greetings, Master."

"Tell me about your strength." Lin Xiao turned and sat in a chair, picking up the tea on the table and taking a drink.

"Yes, Master." Li Bai cupped his hands and bowed. "This subordinate is a level fifty-eight Battle Soul King. My martial soul is the Green Lotus Sword, and I possess strength not inferior to that of a Spirit Emperor."

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. Now he had a Soul King subordinate. If he received more characters as rewards in the future, wouldn't he soar to greatness?

Besides, King of Glory had plenty of beautiful female characters, such as Wu Zetian, Sun Shangxiang, Wang Zhaojun, and others. He wondered what relationship Li Bai had with Wang Zhaojun.

"Ahem, Li Bai, do you know who your woman is?"

Li Bai raised his head and shook it in confusion. "This subordinate has never had a woman. This subordinate will remain forever loyal to Master."

"Oh!" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. It seemed that as long as someone was rewarded to him, their memories would be erased, and they would obey only his commands.

That made things easy. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
