Li Qing's smile froze at these words, his brows furrowing slightly as his eyes filled with confusion. "Not you? Then who else could it be?"

His inner thoughts grew even more perplexed: Not Bo Saixi? Then who could it possibly be? The hierarchy on Sea God Island is strict. While there are female spirit masters of the younger generation, when it comes to status, position, strength, and appearance, who is worthy of me, the successor to the Sea God? Could it be Sea Maiden? That sister who hugs her Sea Demon Flute all day and sings songs that give people nightmares? Please, no... although she's not bad-looking, it just feels like a mismatch.

Watching the look of "if not you, then who?" on Li Qing's face, and hearing his internal complaints about Sea Maiden, Bo Saixi felt both annoyed and amused.

She took a few deep breaths, struggling to calm her racing heart and the heat rising to her face, while secretly gritting her teeth: You brat, calling me "sister" so affectionately to my face, but calling me "this woman" behind my back, and even complaining about Sea Maiden's singing? Honestly...

However, business came first.

Bo Saixi adjusted her emotions, deciding not to beat around the bush anymore to avoid being led astray by this kid again.

A mysterious, encouraging smile returned to her face as she teased, "Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied with this person. In terms of appearance, talent, and background, she is absolutely no worse than your sister here."

"Even better than you, sister?"

Li Qing's face was written with disbelief. He shook his head like a rattle, retorting, "Sister, stop teasing me. On Sea God Island, who could be better-looking or more talented than you? If such a person really existed, I'm afraid the position of High Priestess wouldn't be yours to hold, right?"

He said this with genuine sincerity; in his heart, Bo Saixi was truly the pinnacle of beauty and strength combined.

Bo Saixi was choked up by this blunt and infuriating compliment, and she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

This kid, sometimes he really knew how to make people furious.

She couldn't be bothered to play games anymore and revealed the answer directly, her voice ringing clearly in Li Qing's ears:

"She is not from Sea God Island. She comes from the mainland, from Spirit Hall."

Li Qing: "???"

Spirit Hall? That Spirit Hall which held a grudge against Sea God Island?

Watching Li Qing's instantly stunned expression, the corners of Bo Saixi's mouth curled into a meaningful arc as she continued:

"Her name is Qian Renxue, and she is the granddaughter of the current High Priestess of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu."

"Qian Renxue? The granddaughter of Spirit Hall's High Priestess, Qian Daoliu?"

Li Qing muttered the name repeatedly, standing frozen in place as if struck by a binding spell.

His originally clear and bright eyes were wide open, his pupils slightly contracted, and his mouth hung slightly agape, as if he had heard something utterly fantastical.

A brief silence fell over the Sea God Hall, with only the distant, faint sound of crashing waves remaining.

Sunlight filtered through the stained-glass windows, casting colorful spots of light onto Li Qing's dazed face, making him look somewhat comical.

However, his inner world was experiencing a massive storm, far more turbulent than the ocean outside:

Holy crap! Qian Renxue?! That future Angel God?! The cold, stunning, and incredibly talented Qian Renxue from the original story who ended up being... by that cheater Tang San? How could she be involved with Bo Saixi? And... and an arranged marriage with me?!

Wait! No! The point isn't Qian Renxue herself; her current identity should still be the disguised Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire, which has nothing to do with Sea God Island! It's Qian Daoliu! It must be that old geezer Qian Daoliu! He's been to Sea God Island! He must have discovered that I am the successor to the Sea God, which is why he came up with the idea of a marriage alliance! He wants to bind Sea God Island and Spirit Hall together through this! That old fox, his schemes are truly calculated!

Li Qing's mind raced like a precision instrument, instantly connecting several seemingly unrelated clues: Bo Saixi suddenly mentioning a marriage alliance, the partner coming from Spirit Hall, and her identity as Qian Daoliu's granddaughter... everything pointed to that High Priestess of Spirit Hall who was once as famous as Bo Saixi and Tang Chen!

Standing opposite him, the shock in Bo Saixi's heart was no less than Li Qing's—perhaps even greater!

Li Qing's rapid-fire inner thoughts were transmitted into her mind without missing a word, causing a look of near-loss of composure to appear on her beautiful face for the first time.

First, he actually knew that Qian Renxue was the future Angel God?!

Bo Saixi's pupils contracted sharply, and a storm surged in the depths of her blue eyes.

Angel God!

This was the highest-level secret of Spirit Hall; even most of the Title Douluo within Spirit Hall might not know Qian Renxue's true potential and ultimate goal!

Li Qing, a twelve-year-old boy who had never left Sea God Island, how did he know this?

Could he truly possess the ability to foresee the future?

Were his prophecies about Tang San and the Asura God not groundless, but... could he really catch a glimpse of fate?

And what did he mean by Qian Renxue disguising herself as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire? What exactly were they trying to do? Were they plotting to take over the entire empire?

If that were true, it wouldn't be long before the entire Douluo Continent was unified by Spirit Hall.

No wonder the Sea God agreed to this marriage alliance.

Second, this child's analytical ability and intelligence were simply heaven-defying!

Qian Daoliu's visit, including his proposal of the marriage alliance, had been a top-secret affair from start to finish.

Li Qing had never met Qian Daoliu, and before this, Bo Saixi had never mentioned any information regarding Qian Daoliu or Spirit Hall's involvement in this marriage to him!

Yet, based solely on the two pieces of information—that Qian Renxue was Qian Daoliu's granddaughter and the partner came from Spirit Hall—he instantly deduced that Qian Daoliu had initiated the marriage and accurately guessed the other party's intent.

That was to bind Sea God Island and Spirit Hall together!

This level of insight and logical reasoning was simply terrifying!

Was this really the mentality a twelve-year-old child should have?

Bo Saixi felt her long-held perceptions being violently shaken once again.

The child she had watched grow up seemed to harbor more secrets than she had imagined, secrets that were unfathomably deep.

"Hoo..."

After a long while, Li Qing finally snapped out of his extreme shock.

He let out a long breath, the expression on his face becoming exceptionally complex, a mixture of disbelief, absurdity, and a trace of indescribable... disgust?

He raised his head to look at Bo Saixi, his brows knitted tightly together, his tone carrying clear hesitation and confusion: "Sister, this... this is surely not quite right, is it?"

Bo Saixi quickly reined in the raging storm within her heart, a gentle yet unquestionable smile returning to her face as she countered, "Oh? What is not right about it? Tell me your thoughts."

Li Qing organized his words, attempting to use the most logical reasons to refute this marriage proposal, which he viewed as utterly preposterous: "First, as you know, Sister, decades ago, Spirit Hall launched a massive assault on our Sea God Island, and the two sides forged a deep enmity. The people of Sea God Island, including the various Sacred Pillar Douluos, likely hold no favorable impression of Spirit Hall. Yet now, we are to enter into a marriage alliance with them? This... how are we to explain this to the people on the island? Will they be able to accept it?"

He paused, observing Bo Saixi's expression, and continued with righteous indignation: "Secondly, this matter... does Lord Sea God know? Would His venerable self agree to this? After all, this is a major event concerning the future direction of Sea God Island!"

Li Qing attempted to invoke the authority of the Sea God and the internal public opinion of Sea God Island to suppress the matter.
