Bo Saixi's Top-Tier Tug-of-War: Leave, Leave Now!
The Sea Star Douluo's cry of "High Priest!" was filled with disbelief.
That trembling finger swung back and forth between Sea Horse Douluo and the figure buried in his rice.
Once.
Twice.
Everyone in the restaurant unconsciously followed his trembling finger, moving back and forth.
The expression on Sea Star Douluo's face was quite fascinating.
First came the shock.
Then came confusion.
Finally, all emotions froze into a deathly stillness before a volcanic eruption.
Seeing his appearance, Sea Horse Douluo felt a chill run down his spine, and an extremely ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
He felt that his childhood friend's aura had become somewhat frightening.
"Sea Star, you..."
He called out tentatively.
The next second.
"Sea Horse! I'll fuck your god!"
Sea Star Douluo suddenly pounced forward, grabbing Sea Horse Douluo's collar tightly with both hands and shaking him wildly back and forth with all his might!
"Are you fucking crazy?!"
"Ah?!"
"What did Hailong send you here for? He sent you to invite the High Priest back! Not here to just sit around and do nothing!"
"The High Priestess is right in front of you! Why aren't you trying to persuade her to go back, instead of sitting here eating your lousy meal?"
Sea Horse Douluo was shaken so badly that he felt like his breakfast was about to come out of his stomach.
He saw stars and his mind went completely blank.
What... what should I do?
He instinctively cast a pleading look at Bo Saixi, who was still trying to shield herself with the bowl.
Feeling those two burning gazes, Bo Saixi knew she couldn't keep up the act any longer.
She sighed helplessly and slowly put down the large bowl in her hand.
"Sea Star, what brings you here too?"
Her voice carried just the right amount of weariness and helplessness.
Sea Star Douluo abruptly released Sea Horse Douluo, rushed to Bo Saixi in a few steps, his face filled with grievance and anxiety.
"High Priest! Sea Dragon Douluo noticed that you and Sea Horse hadn't returned for a long time, and calculated that the time had long passed. He was anxious, so he sent me to check on the situation!"
As he spoke, he turned around and glared fiercely at the Sea Horse Douluo who had lowered his head guiltily.
It's all because of that bastard!
"High Priest, Sea God Island cannot be without a master for even a day. You should come back with me quickly!"
The Sea Star Douluo's tone was full of pleading.
However, Bo Saixi simply picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and then spoke with righteous indignation.
"I cannot return yet."
"How can I leave in peace when the traitorous Sea Witch has not yet been captured?"
Upon hearing those familiar lines, Sea Horse Douluo's eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, yes, yes! That's it!
He quickly stepped forward, straightened his back, and his face was also filled with "righteous indignation".
"That's right! I stayed here precisely to assist the High Priest in capturing the traitor!"
"Until we capture the Sea Witch, the High Priest and I swear we will not return to the island!"
These words made Sea Star Douluo's temples throb.
He completely broke down.
"Catch my ass!"
Sea Star Douluo pointed at Sea Horse Douluo's nose and started cursing.
"That Sea Witch is such a simpleton, her brain is full of seawater! Does she even have the guts to defect?!"
"Does she even know what defection is? Does she understand the meaning of her defection?"
Even if we take a step back and assume she really did have the guts to defect!
Sea Star Douluo turned to Bo Saixi, his voice cracking with excitement.
"With your abilities, capturing her would be as easy as catching a chick, wouldn't it? Why would you need him here to help?"
"High Priest! Don't try to fool me with such a ridiculous excuse that even a ghost wouldn't believe! Sea God Island really can't do without you!"
Sea Star Douluo spoke, he almost knelt down before Bo Saixi on the spot.
He came today with a pledge he made.
If he doesn't return to the High Priest, he doesn't need to go back!
But his tearful pleas sounded very different to another person.
"What are you saying, you little brat?"
A cold, angry voice rang in his ears.
Sea Star Douluo hadn't even reacted yet.
Snap!
A resounding slap landed squarely on his face.
Qian Daoliu had appeared beside him without him noticing, his old face filled with murderous intent.
He swung his hand back and delivered another powerful blow, sending Sea Star Douluo spinning twice on the spot, his vision blurring.
"Xi Xi doesn't want to go back, why are you forcing her?"
Qian Daoliu pointed at Sea Star Douluo's nose and started cursing.
"Say one more word, and I'll break all five horns off your damn Sea Star today, you believe me?!"
Sea Star Douluo was completely stunned by the two slaps.
He covered his burning face, looked at the fierce-looking old man in front of him, and then glanced at Bo Saixi stood beside him with an expression of "it's none of my business."
I felt extremely wronged.
What the hell is this?!
Bo Saixi, seeing the chaotic scene before him, also felt a headache coming on.
When I was the High Priest, why didn't I notice how stubborn each of the Seven Sacred Pillars under my command was?
Just as she was having a headache, her gaze inadvertently fell on the half-finished Egg Fried Rice that Sea Horse Douluo had left.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
I've got an idea!
Bo Saixi cleared her throat and called out.
"Sea Horse."
Sea Horse Douluo was startled and quickly looked at his High Priest.
Bo Saixi first gestured with her eyes to the Egg Fried Rice in his hand, then gave a serious look to Sea Star Douluo.
Although Sea Horse Douluo can be a bit goofy at times, he still has that much teamwork.
He instantly understood what Bo Saixi meant.
The next second.
With lightning speed, Sea Horse Douluo scooped up a large spoonful of golden, glistening Egg Fried Rice.
Then, before Sea Star Douluo could react, she used the same trick again, shoving a full spoonful of Egg Fried Rice into his still-dazed mouth with lightning speed!
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, a scalding hot object was shoved into his mouth, Sea Star Douluo almost slapped Sea Horse Douluo's head off.
But just as he was about to have an attack...
An indescribable, overwhelmingly powerful aroma exploded in his mouth!
He chewed twice unconsciously.
Those eyes, which had been filled with anger and grievance, instantly became piercing.
Um?
What's this?
It smells so good!
His body, which had been tense with anger, relaxed uncontrollably.
The expression on his face changed from anger to curiosity, and then from curiosity to complete fascination.
He couldn't help but chew a few more times, then swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.
"Pulse."
He licked his lips, as if savoring the lingering taste, and asked instinctively.
"What... what is this?"
Before Sea Horse Douluo could answer...
Bo Saixi had already stood up gracefully, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and spoke in a calm voice.
"Nothing."
"It's just a type of food that can only be found at this restaurant throughout the entire Douluo Continent."
She glanced at the stunned Sea Star Douluo, then strode out of the shop.
"Since you're in such a hurry to get back to Sea God Island..."
There was no emotion in Bo Saixi's voice.
"Let's not delay any longer, let's set off now!"
