"Why do you two have to fight?"
"Especially you. How did you end up looking like this?"
"If it weren't for your Clear Sky Hammer, I wouldn't have recognized you!"
Bo Saixi was baffled by Tang Chen's current appearance.
He was so ugly!
More importantly, he seemed to have been poisoned, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
She could hardly imagine what Tang Chen had gone through in the decades he'd been gone, to leave a peerless powerhouse who had cultivated to level ninety-nine through his own efforts in such a state.
And what was this divine power aura coming from him?
Could he have already found his own path to godhood?
"Saixi, it's a long story."
"Back then, didn't you say that you'd be with whichever of us reached level one hundred and became a god?"
"I ended up like this because of that promise."
"If the Sky Screen hadn't appeared, I might never have seen you again in this lifetime."
"But now things have worked out. I've already passed the Asura God's Eighth Trial. Once I've recovered, I can attempt the Ninth Trial."
"Then I'll reach level one hundred and become a god, and you can come with me to the Divine Realm. We'll stay together forever, a divine couple for the whole world to envy."
Tang Chen earnestly gave Bo Saixi a brief explanation, hoping she would empathize with him and feel his love.
Qian Daoliu listened, and a blazing fury rose in the depths of his heart.
Damn Tang Chen, playing the victim right here!
What a despicable move!
"Huh?"
"You ended up like this because of that?"
Bo Saixi froze.
Back then, she'd only said it offhandedly, deliberately making things difficult so they would give up.
Who could have guessed Tang Chen would take her seriously and put himself through all this?
For a moment, guilt welled up inside her.
If only she'd known, she would have made herself clear.
"Saixi, don't be sad."
"I'm fine. I'll recover soon. Trust me."
"Once I become a god, you'll leave with me!"
"Saixi, marry me!"
Seeing that Bo Saixi seemed to feel sorry for him, Tang Chen was instantly delighted. He hovered above the water, dropped to one knee, and seized the chance to confess his love.
He knew Bo Saixi loved him.
Qian Daoliu was just a hopelessly one-sided lovesick fool who liked to let his imagination run wild.
"Tang Chen, quit putting on an act!"
"Who knows what kind of terrible things you've done all these years!"
"Saixi, don't listen to him."
"His body is collapsing. He won't last much longer."
"Soon enough, he'll be nothing but a cripple!"
"I know I'm the one you love."
"That promise you made back then was to encourage me—to keep me from neglecting my cultivation and losing my ambition just because I was the Angel God's high priest."
"It took me all these years to understand what you meant. I was wrong."
"I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you!"
"Saixi, will you marry me?"
Qian Daoliu also dropped to one knee. In his hand appeared ninety-nine blooming golden roses, condensed from Soul Power.
When it came to romance, Qian Daoliu left Tang Chen in the dust.
"Qian Daoliu, you bastard! What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're really trying to steal Saixi from me?"
"I'll smash you into minced garlic today, or I'm no man!"
Tang Chen couldn't take Qian Daoliu's behavior anymore. He swung the Asura Magic Sword at him.
"Damn it, you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Saixi is mine. You're not good enough for her!"
"Get lost!"
Qian Daoliu wasn't some pushover. He raised the Angel Divine Sword and slashed at him.
The two swords collided, unleashing an even more terrifying burst of energy that sent up waves more than a thousand meters high.
Bo Saixi didn't want their fight to hurt anyone else. Using the Sea God's Power, she commanded the ocean and blocked the energy released by their collision.
In the ocean, Bo Saixi was invincible.
With her intervention, the thousand-meter waves instantly lost their power and settled back down.
"Enough!"
"Both of you, stop!"
"I'm not some possession."
"You're fighting over me, but have either of you considered how I feel?"
Bo Saixi had finally figured out why the two of them were fighting.
They were fighting over her.
It was too much!
But as soon as she finished speaking, the Sky Screen changed its list again.
[Love Saint Ranking TOP 8: Tang Hao.]
[This man crossed species for love. True love knows no bounds!]
Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu glanced at it, but didn't give it another thought.
"Saixi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted like that."
"But this old geezer just won't stop pestering you!"
"You clearly love me. What right does he have to interfere? He doesn't respect the love between us at all."
Seeing that Bo Saixi was angry, Qian Daoliu quickly apologized and put all the blame on Tang Chen.
"Bullshit!"
"Saixi loves me!"
"Saixi, tell me. Who do you love?"
Tang Chen spat in disdain.
He was accusing Tang Chen of pestering her, when Qian Daoliu was the one being unreasonable.
Bo Saixi was speechless!
When had she ever said she liked either of them?
This misunderstanding had gone way too far!
"Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, thank you for your affection."
"From beginning to end, I've thought of you both as good friends. It never crossed my mind to have a deeper relationship with either of you."
"The truth is, I've had someone I love for a long time. I just never told you!"
"I'm sorry for letting you misunderstand all these years!"
Bo Saixi didn't want the misunderstanding to grow, so she hurried to explain.
"Impossible!"
"How can this be?"
"Saixi, you're only saying this because you're afraid one of us won't be able to accept it, right?"
"It's okay. Just tell us!"
"We'll both respect your choice!"
"If you choose Tang Chen, I absolutely won't bother you again. I'll sincerely wish you both well."
"But if you love me, please tell me honestly!"
Qian Daoliu couldn't quite accept the outcome, and tried to find a way to keep hoping.
"That's right, Saixi. I feel the same way. I'll respect your choice too!"
Tang Chen nodded repeatedly, gazing at her with eager anticipation, hoping to hear the answer he wanted.
"Ah, forget it. Forget it!"
"I'll tell you both plainly. The person I've always loved is Duan Changsheng."
"He's the top-ranked name on the Love Saint Ranking!"
"I met Brother Duan before I ever met either of you, and we were in love for several years."
"If I hadn't wanted to become a god and taken part in Lord Sea God's trials, I wouldn't have been the one to end things."
"A hundred years have passed, but I still can't forget him. I still love him deeply."
"If either of you ever meets him, could you tell him I'm still waiting for him on Sea God Island?"
Bo Saixi gazed lovingly up at the Sky Screen. Memories of her happy days with Duan Changsheng surfaced in her mind.
They had been so sweet and happy!
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were stunned by the answer.
Who exactly was Duan Changsheng? Not only was he at the top of the Love Saint Ranking, but Bo Saixi had been pining for him for a hundred years.
Their love put the two of them to shame.
