Bo Saixi: Sea Witch, you've been "defected"!

He looked at Bo Saixi, then at the Sea Witch on the ground staring longingly at him, and a sincere apology appeared on his face.

He looked down at the few lonely grains of rice at the bottom of his bowl, and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Xi Xi, it's really gone."

As he spoke, he shoveled the last few grains of rice into his mouth with lightning speed.

The crisp scraping sound of the chopsticks against the bottom of the jade bowl was incredibly jarring in the deathly silent hall.

Then he quickly cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, pretending nothing had happened, and gave a vague explanation.

"I was in a hurry when I left, so I only packed this half bowl of rice."

"But!"

He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes gleaming with the intensity of a pyramid scheme leader.

"As long as you come with me to the Maple Dye Pavilion! Forget Egg Fried Rice! The menu there has everything imaginable—delicacies from land and sea! I guarantee you can have as much as you want!"

"At that time, forget about being the deputy head of security; if you want, I'll even give you my position as the head of the security team!"

"Becoming a god isn't a problem there!"

To the Sea Witch beside him, his words were like heavenly music!

She almost wanted to agree on Bo Saixi's behalf right then and there!

However.

Bo Saixi's focus was clearly not on this.

Her gaze was fixed, unwavering, on the empty bottom of Qian Daoliu's bowl.

That old bastard Qian Daoliu actually finished his last bite of rice while she was asking him a question!

What's the difference between this and teasing someone to the point of being furious, then pulling up your pants and running away?!

A surge of anger shot straight to the top of my head!

"Buzz--!"

The air trembled, and the glittering golden phantom of Sea God Trident reappeared in Bo Saixi's hand.

The cold tip of the halberd was aimed directly at Qian Daoliu's brow.

"Qian Daoliu!"

Bo Saixi's voice was so cold it could shatter ice.

I'm giving you two choices now.

"One, get out of my Sea God Island right now!"

"Second, stay here forever as fertilizer!"

Qian Daoliu was startled when he saw this.

Something's not right!

This time, the killing intent is for real!

Xi Xi really wants to kill me!

He wanted to say a few more words of advice, but when he saw that the phantom of the trident in Bo Saixi's hand had already condensed into a terrifying divine power that made his will to survive surge instantly.

"No, no, no, Xi Xi, let's talk this out! I'll leave, I'll leave right now!"

Qian Daoliu scrambled and stumbled towards the outside of the hall, but his wicked intentions remained undiminished. Before leaving, he turned back and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Xi Xi! Come find me in Spirit City once you've figured it out! I'll save the position of deputy captain of security for you!"

His response was a golden streak of light that tore through the air.

"Holy crap! She's trying to murder her husband!"

Qian Daoliu a clumsy roll, narrowly dodging the trident that flew almost grazing his scalp.

He dared not linger any longer. His Soul Power erupted, and without looking back, he transformed into a golden light and fled.

For a moment, the Sea God Temple was deathly silent.

All that remained were Bo Saixi, her chest heaving violently, and the Sea Witch, cowering in a corner, barely daring to breathe.

After a long while, Bo Saixi's breathing gradually calmed down.

The Sea Witch then mustered her courage and cautiously moved over.

"Lord Bo Saixi... um... are you really not going to that Maple Dye Pavilion?"

She swallowed, her little face full of reminiscence and longing.

"The Egg Fried Rice that Qian Daoliu brought is really... really delicious..."

"If you go, you can definitely eat that kind of delicious food every day. Don't you... don't you want to eat it again at all?"

Bo Saixi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

She gently rubbed the Sea Witch's small head, which could barely hold anything, and sighed Youyou.

"As the High Priest of Sea God Island, it is my duty. How can I abandon my post for the sake of my own appetite?"

"This is a betrayal and blasphemy against Lord Sea God."

That's what she said, but her mind kept replaying that intense taste over and over again.

That overpowering fragrance seemed to have been etched into the depths of her soul.

The High Priest of Sea God Island, sounds impressive.

In reality, they were nothing more than pathetic creatures waiting for an heir to appear, only to ultimately sacrifice their own lives.

A century of cultivation, a century of waiting, and in the end, all that remains is to become nourishment for the new Sea God.

Thinking about this, Bo Saixi's mood became even more depressed.

But then, that damned smell of Egg Fried Rice popped into my head again.

Saliva began to be produced in my mouth like crazy.

No!

Absolutely not!

Having tasted the flavors of heaven, how could she possibly endure the food of hell?

If I can never eat this again in my entire life, that would be even more painful than being sacrificed!

We have to think of a way!

I must eat that bowl of rice again!

Bo Saixi's gaze gradually turned dangerous.

As the high priestess, she indeed could not leave without permission if nothing happened on Sea God Island.

But...

What if something happens?

And it's a "big deal"?

Her gaze slowly moved down and landed on the Sea Witch who still had a "gourd" on her head.

Sea Witch, a titled Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, is extremely loyal and obedient to me.

He's incredibly strong, but his brain... isn't the best.

Whether influenced by Qian Daoliu or not, a bold, even immoral, idea instantly formed in her mind.

My Lord Sea God...

Bo Saixi prayed silently in her heart.

And so that your most devout believers won't be driven mad by cravings...

Please... close your eyes for now!

"Cough cough."

Bo Saixi coughed lightly, attracting the Sea Witch's attention.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Her voice carried a strange, alluring quality.

"Sea Witch, would you like to... see the outside world? For example, that Maple Dye Pavilion that Qian Daoliu mentioned..."

"Pulse."

The Sea Witch swallowed hard, her eyes instantly shining like two stars.

Of course she wants to!

But she didn't dare show it, and just kept swallowing.

Seeing her pathetic state, Bo Saixi's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

"In that case, by the privilege of the High Priest, I grant you a long vacation to travel to the mainland for a while."

The Sea Witch's eyes widened instantly.

"R-really? High Priest! That task of guarding the Sacred Pillar...?"

Looking into her innocent and sincere eyes, Bo Saixi felt a pang of guilt. She looked away, unable to meet her clear gaze.

But just thinking about the taste of that bowl of rice...

To hell with guilt!

"Hmm." Bo Saixi nodded, forcing a calm expression. "I'll have Hailong and the others keep an eye on things. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term. Be careful, go ahead."

"Thank you, High Priest! You are truly the best High Priest in the world!"

The naive Sea Witch didn't think so much; she was so excited she almost jumped up.

The next second, she transformed into a streak of light, excitedly chasing after the direction the Qian Daoliu had gone, shouting joyfully, "Egg Fried Rice! Here I come!!"

Watching her departing figure, Bo Saixi slowly sat back in the main seat, ignoring the delicacies on the table, and closed her eyes.

She was waiting, and she was also preparing.

About half an hour later, those beautiful sea-blue eyes suddenly opened!

There was no longer a trace of guilt or longing; instead, there was an overwhelming "rage"!

She suddenly stood up, and a terrifying aura belonging to Peerless Douluo erupted, sweeping across the entire Sea God Temple!

"Guards!!"

Swish swish swish--!

The six Sacred Pillar Douluo, including Hailong and Sea Horse, sensed this aura and their expressions changed drastically. Within a few breaths, they all appeared in the main hall and knelt on one knee.

"Lord High Priest!"

Bo Saixi's pretty face was frosty, her phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent. In a voice filled with deep sorrow and boundless rage, she announced, word by word:

"Sea Witch Douluo, misled by foreign enemies, has betrayed Sea God Island and fled!"
