Bo Saixi Overhears My Thoughts, Bo Saixi Is Stunned!

The appearance of Bo Saixi was like a boulder cast into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.

Her peerless grace and divine might, vast as the ocean, seemed to freeze the very air in the street.

Seahorse Douluo, being the closest, was the first to react. Without a moment's hesitation, he dropped to his right knee, pressed his left hand to his chest, and bowed his head deeply, shouting in a voice filled with immense respect and even piety: "I pay my respects to the High Priestess!"

This cry acted like a command, instantly jolting everyone around from their stupor.

Whether they were the Sea Soul Masters responsible for maintaining order, the children who had just awakened their spirits, their parents, or even the onlookers in the distance, the moment they caught sight of that red figure, they all knelt on one knee in perfect unison.

Everyone kept their heads bowed, eyes fixed firmly on the ground, not daring to overstep their bounds or even draw a full breath.

On Sea God Island, the hierarchy was absolute.

The High Priestess, Bo Saixi, was the Sea God's representative in the mortal realm, a supreme existence.

Her majesty was deeply ingrained in the hearts of all.

Even Seahorse Douluo, a noble Sacred Pillar Guardian, would never dare to intrude upon the Sea God Hall without a summons.

For the vast majority of the island's residents, Bo Saixi's personal arrival was a miracle they might only witness once in a lifetime; they could only express their awe through the most solemn of gestures.

Although Li Qing was a transmigrator, he understood the rules of Sea God Island.

Seeing the sea of people kneeling around him, he didn't want to stand out, so he began to mimic Seahorse Douluo, preparing to bend his knee.

However, just as his knee began to flex, a gentle yet irresistible force manifested from thin air, like an invisible palm, softly supporting his body and preventing him from kneeling.

Li Qing looked up in surprise, meeting Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes, which were as deep as a starry sea.

He noticed her right hand had lifted almost imperceptibly; the force originated from that gesture.

She looked at Li Qing, and her ethereal, majestic voice rang out, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, yet carrying an unquestionable decisiveness:

"Child, there is no need for such formalities."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the Golden Trident Mark on Li Qing's forehead that had yet to fully fade, her tone carrying the gravity of a proclamation: "Since you have received the inheritance of the Sea God, from this moment on, on Sea God Island, no one—myself included—shall ever be able to accept your obeisance. You are one favored by the Sea God."

As these words fell, although everyone kept their heads bowed, one could clearly feel the stifling shock and the sound of sharp intakes of breath in the air.

The Sea God's inheritance? What a supreme stroke of fortune!

It meant that this child named Li Qing would hold a status above all other residents of Sea God Island, comparable even to the High Priestess herself!

Countless gazes hidden beneath lowered heads were filled with disbelief, awe, and indescribable envy.

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, straightening his posture and trying to sound as well-behaved as possible: "Oh, thank you, High Priestess."

On the surface, he feigned composure, but his inner thoughts were already blooming.

[Wow! Is this the Sea God Douluo, Bo Saixi? She's even more stunning up close! This beauty, this temperament, this figure... it's incredible! No wonder she managed to make that bird-man High Priestess of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, and that King of Hammers from the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, so infatuated that they couldn't forget her for decades. If it were me... ahem, I think I'm getting ahead of myself. But then again, a beauty's fate is often tragic... no, wait, her fate is just full of twists, destined to sacrifice herself for the Sea God's inheritance. Sigh...]

While Li Qing was busy with his internal monologue and lamentations, he failed to notice that as Bo Saixi heard his inner voice, her calm, pool-like eyes suddenly contracted, her pupils trembling almost imperceptibly!

The elegance and majesty that Bo Saixi usually maintained on her beautiful face froze, and she even appeared momentarily dazed!

Even with her heaven-defying cultivation and a state of mind as unshakable as the deep sea, she was left reeling by the voice that had abruptly echoed in her mind!

What is happening?!

Bo Saixi was deeply shaken.

This voice... is it this child? But he clearly didn't open his mouth! Could this be... his inner thoughts?!

Instinctively, she channeled her vast spiritual power, carefully sensing her surroundings to rule out any possibility of telepathy or auditory hallucinations.

In the end, she was absolutely certain that this clear voice, with its unique tone and thoughts, was indeed resonating directly in the depths of her consciousness, and its source was this black-haired boy—Li Qing—who had just awakened his spirit and looked so harmless!

If that is the case, why can I hear his inner voice?

A massive wave of confusion swept through Bo Saixi's mind.

As a rank-99 peerless Douluo, her spiritual power was as vast as the ocean and her perception was incredibly sharp, yet she had never heard of an ability that could directly pry into another person's inner thoughts.

The remaining explanations were even more inconceivable.

This ability to hear his heart was one-way, and it was happening to her.

Is it the resonance of the Sea God Mark? Or is it because of that unknown spirit called the "Mysterious Origin Water-Controlling Flag"?

However, before Bo Saixi could sort through her initial shock, the information revealed in Li Qing's inner voice struck her like a lightning bolt, causing her delicate body to sway almost imperceptibly!

Qian Daoliu... Tang Chen... How could he know?!

These two names, especially "Tang Chen," were like the sharpest needles, piercing the softest, most deeply buried corner of Bo Saixi's heart.

The past between her, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen was a secret buried for decades; besides the three of them, no one else in the world knew the details!

This six-year-old child had been on Sea God Island since birth—how could he possibly know?!

Confusion and shock, like a cold tide, instantly overwhelmed Bo Saixi's reason.

So much so that Li Qing's inner compliment about her beauty was completely drowned out by the massive impact of this information.

Although Bo Saixi's daze was extremely brief, for a powerhouse of her level, it was an highly unusual display.

Li Qing watched as she suddenly fell silent, staring at him with a complex expression, and he couldn't help but blink his clear eyes, his heart beginning to mutter again:

Hmm? What's up with this beautiful big sister? Why is she staring at me without saying a word? Her gaze is also rather strange... Could it be that she's seen my extraordinary talent and is considering how to cultivate me? Or perhaps...

A more outrageous thought popped up.

Or perhaps, because she hasn't waited for Tang Chen to return, she's thinking about how she might have to sacrifice herself for me, the Sea God's successor, in the future, and is feeling conflicted, not knowing how to face me for the moment?

BOOM!

This second inner voice exploded in Bo Saixi's mind like a thunderclap!

When combined, the information contained in these two fragments was nothing short of earth-shattering!

As the High Priestess, her greatest mission and ultimate destiny was to sacrifice herself for the true successor of the Sea God, opening the path to godhood.

This was the oracle left behind by the Sea God; it was her fated duty!

This child—not only did he know of Tang Chen, but he was even crystal clear about her ultimate fate?!
