Douluo Continent, Sea God Island.
Qian Yuhan's divine sense descended upon Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi sensed it immediately.
She was puzzled:
What was the Angel God doing on Sea God Island?
I'd better go out and meet her.
After all, she was a God King.
Nothing good would come of offending her.
Bo Saixi left the Sea God Pavilion and appeared before Qian Yuhan.
Qian Yuhan looked at Bo Saixi and spoke before Bo Saixi could open her mouth. "Bo Saixi, did you know that I killed the Sea God?"
"Ah, Angel God King, what did you say?" Bo Saixi had understood, but she still found it hard to believe.
"Did you not understand?"
"I already killed the Sea God!" Qian Renhan looked indifferently at Bo Saixi and repeated herself.
Seeing the look in Qian Renhan's eyes, Bo Saixi's heart involuntarily raced, and her thoughts began to run wild:
The Angel God already killed the Sea God.
Could the Angel God have come to eliminate future trouble?
Would I die because of this?
Although I'd broken through to godhood, the Angel God was a God King. There was an unbridgeable gap between us.
If the Angel God wanted to kill me, I would undoubtedly die. There wouldn't even be a chance of escape.
If I'd known things would turn out this way, I would have chosen to resurrect Lord Sea God and let him break through to become a God King.
If only I could undo that choice!
What should I do now?
Should I beg for mercy?
Bo Saixi looked apprehensively at Qian Yuhan, unsure what exactly she wanted to do.
Qian Yuhan looked at Bo Saixi's expression, thoroughly satisfied with it.
She asked, "Bo Saixi, do you want to live?"
"Yes, Angel God King, I want to live more than anything!"
Seeing hope of surviving, Bo Saixi hurriedly said, "I don't know how the Sea God offended you, but none of it had anything to do with me!"
"Nor did it have anything to do with the residents of Sea God Island. Please don't take your anger out on me or the residents of Sea God Island."
"Bo Saixi, do you know why I would spare your life?" Qian Yuhan pressed on.
Bo Saixi's mind raced. She thought of many reasons, but none of them made sense.
In the end, she could only shake her head and say, "Angel God King, please forgive my stupidity. I truly cannot think of the reason."
"It must be because the Angel God King clearly distinguishes between kindness and grudges, and knows that both I and the people of Sea God Island are innocent." After some thought, Bo Saixi added that final sentence.
"Bo Saixi, you think too highly of me. Leaving the seeds of future trouble isn't my style."
Qian Yuhan recalled the days ten thousand years ago. She would never leave Evil Soul Masters any way out, not even their families.
Because leaving such avenues open meant endless trouble for her in the future.
Better to purify them all together.
"Please enlighten me, Angel God King." Bo Saixi once again looked apprehensively at the Angel God King.
Qian Yuhan said leisurely, "Bo Saixi, there are two reasons why I intend to let you go."
"The first reason is that when the Sky Curtain System bestowed your reward upon you, you didn't choose to resurrect the Sea God and have him break through to become a God King."
"That proves the Sea God matters less to you than you do yourself. With your shrewdness, I imagine you won't make trouble for me or do anything I find repulsive."
"The second reason is also the most important one. Without it, I wouldn't spare you or anyone on Sea God Island."
"You still remember Qian Daoliu, don't you?"
"Angel God King, of course I remember him." As Bo Saixi spoke, Qian Daoliu's figure appeared in her mind.
She couldn't help thinking:
Could I be alive because Qian Daoliu pleaded for me?
In that case, I should thank him.
Although she thought this, Bo Saixi didn't dare voice such a hasty conclusion.
There wasn't a shred of evidence pointing to it yet. Qian Yuhan had merely mentioned Qian Daoliu. What if that wasn't the case?
If she spoke recklessly, she might anger the Angel God King, and then she would be in trouble.
Qian Yuhan continued, "Bo Saixi, I imagine you also know that my resurrection and successful breakthrough to the God King Realm were inseparable from Qian Daoliu."
"In my eyes, Qian Daoliu is a very devoted believer. I'm very fortunate to have a believer like him."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi felt that Qian Yuhan seemed to be taking a pointed jab at her.
But she didn't think she had truly done anything wrong. She had only wanted to become a god. What was wrong with that?
Qian Yuhan continued:
"Qian Daoliu's devotion moved me, so I helped him break through mortal limits and become a god. That was my reward to him."
"But in my eyes, that was far from enough."
"Until I came to Douluo Continent and learned that Qian Daoliu liked you."
"I've made my meaning very plain. Surely you don't need me to explain any further?" Qian Yuhan asked, looking at Bo Saixi.
She simply wanted Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu to be together, putting an end to the regret Qian Daoliu had carried in his heart for so many years.
Bo Saixi frowned slightly.
Compared with Qian Daoliu, she liked Tang Chen more. Besides, she had already waited for Tang Chen on Sea God Island for so many years. Just as their relationship was about to bear fruit, the Angel God had appeared and told her to marry Qian Daoliu.
Honestly, Bo Saixi found this somewhat difficult to accept.
After weighing her words briefly, Bo Saixi asked tentatively, "Angel God King, I already have someone I like. When it comes to feelings, even you shouldn't force someone against their will, should you?"
"Bo Saixi, you seem to have failed to realize something."
"I'm informing you, not negotiating with you." Qian Yuhan unleashed her God King pressure, sending it crushing down on Bo Saixi.
The God King pressure bore down on Bo Saixi, forcing her straight to her knees.
Qian Yuhan continued:
"Bo Saixi, since you don't want to become Qian Daoliu's wife, you can die!"
"No, Angel God King, I'm willing! I'm willing to become Qian Daoliu's wife!" Bo Saixi shouted anxiously.
The Angel God King really intended to kill me.
She wasn't merely trying to scare me.
Actually, Qian Daoliu was a very good person.
Being Qian Daoliu's wife would be quite nice, too.
Qian Yuhan looked at Bo Saixi, withdrew her God King pressure, and warned, "Bo Saixi, since you've decided to become Qian Daoliu's wife, behave yourself and be his wife."
"Don't try any tricks with me."
"If you dare try anything..."
"I'll make you wish you were dead."
"Angel God King, I wouldn't dare. I absolutely wouldn't dare. Please believe me," Bo Saixi hurriedly promised.
As for the love between her and Tang Chen?
To hell with that love!
If anyone was to blame, it was Tang Chen for being incapable.
His timing in becoming a god was completely wrong.
Besides, Tang Chen had only become a god by relying entirely on the Sky Curtain System.
"Since you've made your decision, come with me." Qian Yuhan took Bo Saixi away from Sea God Island and flew toward Douluo Continent.
