The enchanting Bo Saixi

She gave Ye Yan a long, searching look. Female Titled Douluos were exceedingly rare, yet he had no fewer than three at his side.

This surely had something to do with that uncanny charm. Was it his Martial Soul? Or some special constitution?

"Young man, I have waited here for more than a hundred years. At last, in my twilight years, I have met you. Would you tell me where you come from?"

Ye Yan took two steps forward, drawing closer to Bo Saixi, the fox tail behind him wagging like a windmill.

"You're not old at all, Big Sister. With your cultivation, living for over a thousand years would be no problem. By that reckoning, you're still in the budding springtime of youth~"

Shameless flirt. Fox spirit.

The thought rose simultaneously in the minds of every woman present, especially Snow Empress, who had been teasing him just moments before. Seeing Xu Xiaoyan, who had just been writhing and basking in pleasure beneath her hands, run off to fawn over someone else, she could not help feeling a surge of anger.

Bo Saixi did not notice anything amiss with her. Her eyes were filled with nothing but the darling before her. Help, he's just too cute~

With a soft laugh, she extended her delicate hand and tapped the tip of Ye Yan's nose.

"Silver tongue. No changing the subject."

"Okay~"

Ye Yan narrowed his eyes contentedly. Bo Saixi's hand was so wonderfully soft and smooth that its touch made his heart itch.

"I'm the disciple of Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff. Hey, hey, don't be angry, Big Sister. I wasn't even born when Spirit Hall invaded Sea God Island. I'm very sorry I couldn't stop them."

The moment Ye Yan spoke, he sensed the temperature plummet and instinctively shivered. Only then did he remember what Dong'er, his head wife, had done before, and hurriedly switched into sincerity mode.

Bo Saixi's heart softened at the sight of the pitiful-looking Ye Yan. The little fellow was right. Whatever grudges the older generation held, they could hardly be blamed on him.

What do you mean, you weren't even born then?

Bo Saixi caught his wrist. She intended to find out exactly how old the person before her was.

Hmm?

At such a young age, his cultivation had already reached that of a rank-fifty Quasi-Soul King. And his foundations were far too robust. Never mind a Soul King-even compared with an ordinary Titled Douluo, he was not the slightest bit inferior.

"Could you show me your Martial Souls? I'm rather curious."

"Of course. You don't need to stand on ceremony with me, Big Sister."

A blue-green light shone in Ye Yan's eyes as the Blue Silver Emperor and the Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords appeared on either side of him. Red, black, black, black, red, red, red-rings descended slowly from above his head, bathing the entire raised platform in scarlet.

Bo Saixi's mouth fell open involuntarily. From his angle, he could see her tender pink tongue and gleaming white teeth perfectly.

But Bo Saixi had no attention to spare for Ye Yan's brazen gaze. She was sunk in profound shock, and finally understood why Lord Sea God had chosen him.

She was, after all, considered invincible upon the seas in the Soul Master World, revered by all. Yet compared with him... ha.

The sea breeze drifted past, lifting Bo Saixi's silver hair. As she looked at the young man before her, she found herself overwhelmed with emotion.

"Before the fledgling dragon stirs the winds and clouds, he already bears a peerless bearing that towers into the heavens.

One day, his might shall open ten thousand ravines, and heaven and earth shall lie open for him to roam!

Xu Xiaoyan, I believe you will not let the Sea God's illustrious name down. Do your best."

She patted Ye Yan's shoulder, as though she had come to terms with something. The next instant, a red light flashed, and Bo Saixi vanished from the spot.

Ye Yan was a little annoyed. You silly woman, why did you run away? Aren't you coming with me to take the trial?

Meanie (｡í˰ì｡)

"Stop staring. She's long gone."

Snow Empress's cool voice rang out. He rubbed his hands together, wanting to return to her side and continue fawning over her, only to be pushed away without mercy.

Womanizer. I don't want to deal with you right now.

Ice Empress and Ling Yuan also watched Ye Yan with schadenfreude. That was what he got for his wandering heart, flirting with one woman one moment and another the next.

Serves you right!

In the end, Sea Horse Douluo came over to rescue him, offering to take them to Seahorse City to rest first before they headed to the forbidden grounds at the island's center for the trial.

After sampling the island's local delicacies, Ye Yan suggested resting there. The five women agreed. Their many days of travel had indeed worn them out, both mentally and physically.

Under the bright moonlight, Ye Yan quietly slipped out of the restaurant and flew toward the temple at the island's center.

He encountered quite a few Island Guardian Soul Masters along the way, but as the person undertaking the Sea God's Nine Trials, he naturally faced no obstruction. They all saluted him to show their respect.

Before long, Ye Yan found the white jade palace halfway up the main peak. Bo Saixi was reclining on the balcony, gazing distractedly at the bright moon above.

Only when Ye Yan took her delicate hand did she notice someone had appeared beside her. Bo Saixi clenched her fist and knocked him to the ground with a single punch.

"You little lecher. You've got some nerve, sneaking into my bedchamber at night. Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to death?"

Ye Yan rubbed his cheek. My head wife doesn't know her own strength. If you ruin this handsome face of mine, let's see what you'll do then.

His fluffy fox tail wound around her slender waist, only to be caught and toyed with by her long, delicate hands. Ye Yan took the opportunity to rest his head on her lap.

As an innocent, untouched maiden, Bo Saixi had never experienced such an intimate gesture. She reached out to push him off, only to be won over by Ye Yan's fox ears.

With his eyes half-closed, Ye Yan breathed in the faint fragrance drifting from her and spoke softly.

"Sister Xixi, are you upset because you have to offer yourself as a sacrifice in the Ninth Trial?"

Bo Saixi stiffened, her expression dimming once more.

"How... how did you know? Did Lord Sea God tell you?"

Ye Yan did not hurry to answer. He tilted his head and blew a warm breath against her lower abdomen. The tingling sensation made Bo Saixi tighten her grip.

Mmm~

That feels good~

A rumbling purr escaped Ye Yan's mouth. Rather than answer her question directly, he asked her one instead.

"My teacher, Bibi Dong, is the Rakshasa God's successor. He's also a First-Level God, yet she can complete her Divine Trial without the Great Enshrined offering herself as a sacrifice. Do you know why, Big Sister?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Bo Saixi's eyes, and she eagerly asked him why that was.

Ye Yan gave two muffled little grunts, signaling that she should pay the friendship fee first.

Suppressing her impatience, Bo Saixi began petting the fox spirit in her arms, treating his fox tail to a massage spa.

Only when Ye Yan's gaze turned hazy did he have her stop, thinking, Being toyed with by a Big Sister really does feel better~

"All right, Xu Xiaoyan, tell me now. Otherwise, I won't help you anymore."

At her urging, Ye Yan took a moment to recover before explaining his discovery.

"Because after my teacher reached Level 99, she was suppressed back to Level 98. Only after accumulating another Limit Douluo's worth of Soul Power did she return to her original cultivation.

"In other words, the Divine Trial actually only requires the entirety of one Limit Douluo's Soul Power cultivation. I can pray to the Sea God, and then the two of us can catch a wild Limit Douluo to offer as a sacrifice in your place."

"Xu Xiaoyan, you're so clever~"

Bo Saixi hugged Ye Yan tightly, nestling him against her bosom. She had already prepared herself to give her life for Lord Sea God. Yet beyond the dark willows, bright blossoms revealed another village-Ye Yan had brought her another path to survival.

She still had nearly a thousand years left to live. Naturally, she did not want her life cut short by becoming a sacrifice.
