A few guards with no sense saw how beautiful Bo Saixi was and tried to go up and grope her.
How could a woman like Bo Saixi, who had long held the highest position on Sea God Island, let them lay their hands on her? She raised her hand and delivered several slaps, knocking the guards to the ground before charging straight inside.
Against these guards, Bo Saixi, a level 99 Limit Douluo, could not even be bothered to release her Martial Soul. Whenever a guard approached, she lashed out with her delicate hands, slapping them until they could not tell north from south.
Word that someone had forced their way into Spirit Hall soon reached Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, and the others in the Papal Hall.
Watching the engagement ceremony still in progress, the father and son did not want it interrupted like this, so they ordered Ghost Leopard Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo to drive the intruder out.
Before Ghost Leopard Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo could leave the square, they saw a beautiful woman already climbing its steps. The guards could not stop her at all.
At the sight, Ghost Leopard Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo both released their Martial Souls. Nine Soul Rings-two yellow, two purple, and five black-rose from beneath each man's feet, and their imposing presence erupted.
Yet Bo Saixi showed no panic in the face of their imposing presence. She merely called out coldly.
"Qian Daoliu, an old friend has come. Aren't you going to come out and see me?"
Inside the Papal Hall, Qian Daoliu shuddered when he heard that voice while watching the engagement ceremony. I-it's her? Why has she come looking for me?
Could she have finally realized that I'm the man she loves most, the one she can rely on for the rest of her life?
At once, the long-extinguished flame called love in Qian Daoliu's heart rose from the ashes...
Chapter 101: From Delight to Disappointment
At the thought that Bo Saixi, whom he had once pursued so desperately, had now come looking for him of her own accord-
How could Qian Daoliu remain seated? He hurriedly rose, left the Papal Hall, and ran toward the vast square.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ling, who was taking part in the engagement ceremony with Bibi Dong and Ah Yin, raised his eyebrows in puzzlement.
He had heard the woman's shout too. From that melodious voice, as lovely as a clear mountain stream, Zhao Ling thought she should be fairly good-looking-or at least not ugly.
Moreover, the woman had actually called herself an old friend of Qian Daoliu's, leaving Zhao Ling rather unsure of who she was.
Although he briefly guessed that she might be Bo Saixi, since there certainly could not be many women who were old friends with Qian Daoliu, he soon tossed that guess beyond the ninth heaven.
Are you kidding? Bo Saixi is the High Priest of Sea God Island. How could she leave Sea God Island so casually? Doesn't she have to protect it?
If she dared leave Sea God Island without permission, and some major upheaval happened there as a result, wouldn't she be in more trouble than she could handle if that Sea God fellow found out, even with her status as high priest?
Besides, Bo Saixi loved Tang Chen in the original work. Why would she come looking for Qian Daoliu of her own accord?
With that thought, Zhao Ling stopped pondering who the woman was and devoted himself to going through the engagement proceedings with the two women.
Only after the engagement proceedings were finished and Qian Xunji had proclaimed Bibi Dong the Saintess of Spirit Hall-
Did Zhao Ling and the two women follow Qian Xunji to entertain the guests...
Meanwhile, in the square, Qian Daoliu finally saw the beautiful woman who had once occupied his every thought.
"Bo Saixi, is it really you? I never imagined you'd come looking for me. I'm so happy."
His words left Ghost Leopard Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo beside him utterly stunned.
What's going on? The Great Enshrined has never shown an expression like this before.
He had always been an unquestionable authority in Spirit Hall. Simply standing there, he inspired an urge in others to fall down and worship him.
Yet now, the Great Enshrined was acting rather strangely in front of this woman-just like a certain kind of dog.
Seeing the adoration filling his eyes as he stared at the woman opposite him, they knew their relationship must be unusual. Could she be the Great Enshrined's beloved?
Huh? That shouldn't be right. Ever since his wife passed away, the Great Enshrined has never remarried. How could he have a beloved?
But what was with the completely undisguised adoration in his eyes right now?
Pairs of eyes throughout the square also watched this scene, brimming with curiosity and scrutiny.
They all wanted to know exactly what relationship this woman who had suddenly barged into Spirit Hall had with the Great Enshrined.
For these spectators, how could watching Demon-Suppressing Douluo and Miss Dong'er's engagement ceremony compare to feasting on the gossip about this unfamiliar woman and the Great Enshrined?
Hearing Qian Daoliu's somewhat excited words, Bo Saixi's expression did not ripple in the slightest. She spoke coldly.
"Qian Daoliu, there's no need to get so excited. I didn't come to Spirit Hall to find you. I came to find..."
Just as she was about to say that she had come looking for a man named Zhao Ling, she discovered to her dismay that she seemed to have been silenced. Her mouth could only keep opening and closing.
Huh... Bo Saixi knitted her slender brows. How strange. Why can't I say that I'm looking for 'Zhao Ling'?
Her mouth opened and closed for nearly half a minute without her managing to state the purpose of her visit, leaving her rather frustrated.
What's going on? Why can't I say why I came here? Why?
Seeing her mouth opening and closing without getting anything out, Qian Daoliu thought she really had come looking for him but found it difficult to admit, which was why she kept hesitating.
This gave Qian Daoliu a sweet feeling. Back then, he had already given up pursuing Bo Saixi, yet now she had come looking for him herself. He felt that if he gave up again, he would hardly deserve to be called human.
So Qian Daoliu moved to take Bo Saixi's hand, sparing her the embarrassment of standing under everyone's gaze.
Knowing that Qian Daoliu must have misunderstood, Bo Saixi hurriedly retreated several steps and cried, "Don't come any closer! I didn't come to Spirit Hall to find you. I..."
The very next second, she found herself silenced yet again. Bo Saixi felt like running away in tears.
What on earth is going on? Why do I lose the ability to speak whenever I try to say that I came to find that man named Zhao Ling?
Could Lord Sea God not want me to say that I came looking for Zhao Ling?
After some thought, Bo Saixi decided she could take a roundabout approach to explaining her purpose, so she spoke again. "Qian Daoliu, do you know..."
She wanted to mention what the diary said about Tang Chen being plotted against by the Rakshasa God and then possessed by some Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, asking him to help investigate. Yet, to her immense frustration, she discovered that she had been silenced again.
Bo Saixi truly felt that she had never been so close to breaking down. She really wanted to ask Lord Sea God just what on earth was happening.
Frowning tightly, she thought it over carefully before asking in a tentative tone.
"Qian Daoliu, do you know where Tang Chen went? He hasn't returned to Sea God Island for a long time. I keep feeling uneasy."
As she spoke, she finally let out a secret sigh of relief. Thankfully, she could still say Tang Chen's name.
Upon hearing her question, Qian Daoliu stepped backward several times, the excitement on his face stiffening.
S-so Bo Saixi hadn't come to Spirit Hall to find me at all. I was nothing but a clown.
And to think he had believed she had traveled all this way to find him because she realized that he was the one she loved.
Meanwhile, after making a circuit of the Papal Hall, Zhao Ling arrived at the square with Ah Yin and Bibi Dong.
Seeing the stunning beauty not far away, whose looks were in no way inferior to the two women's, he hurriedly quickened his pace.
Wow, looks like there's some juicy gossip! Hurry, hurry! Anyone who isn't eager for gossip has something wrong with their head.
The three came up behind Qian Daoliu, all directing curious gazes at him and Bo Saixi.
At that moment, Qian Daoliu's face was full of bitter smiles. "So you came to my Spirit City merely to ask me about Tang Chen's whereabouts. Sorry, I don't know where he went either.
"I haven't seen him for decades myself. How would I know where he is now? Sorry, Bo Saixi. I've disappointed you."
Finishing with a bitter smile, Qian Daoliu turned and left as though he had lost his soul.
Looking for Tang Chen? Uh...
Zhao Ling looked at Qian Daoliu's desolate retreating figure, then at the woman less than ten meters away. This time, he could finally be certain that she was Bo Saixi from Sea God Island.
Yet after confirming her identity, Zhao Ling found himself questioning life even more. He immediately summoned his Diary Panel and began pouring out a torrent of complaints...
Chapter 102: Special Ability: Truth-Telling
[Holy crap, what the hell is going on? Bo Saixi actually ran from Sea God Island to the Douluo Continent to look for Tang Chen?]
[Has she gone mad? If the Sea God learns that she dared abandon her post and go out looking for Tang Chen without permission, she can probably forget about remaining the High Priest of Sea God Island.]
[How strange. I don't remember any plotline in the original work where Bo Saixi left Sea God Island to search for Tang Chen.]
[The butterfly effects I've caused since transmigrating to Douluo are getting more and more ridiculous.]
[Still, honestly, Bo Saixi's looks are absolutely top-notch.]
[That face, that bearing-she doesn't lose out to Dong'er or Yin'er at all. She's gorgeous.]
[What a shame that such a beautiful girl fell for that old fellow Tang Chen.]
[And that old fellow Tang Chen has been possessed by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and lost his mind. Until he regains his senses, there's no way he can return to Sea God Island.]
[The funny thing is, this girl actually came running to Spirit Hall to ask Qian Daoliu where Tang Chen is. Is she an idiot?]
[Can't she tell that Qian Daoliu likes her? He and Tang Chen are rivals in love.]
[Sigh. Looking at it this way, Qian Daoliu is really pitiful. The woman he loves traveled all the way to Spirit Hall not to see him, but just to ask him where his romantic rival is.]
[If I were Qian Daoliu, whether I knew where Tang Chen was or not, I'd only have one answer: I don't know!]
[If she dared keep pestering me, I'd definitely tear into her. Want to find the man you love? Then go find him yourself if you're so capable! What the hell does your search for Tang Chen have to do with me?]
[But that fellow Qian Daoliu is such a disappointment. He wouldn't even snap at her, and instead said, "Sorry, I've disappointed you." Looking at that desolate retreating figure, how is he any different from those s*mps on Blue Star?]
[And he's supposed to be Spirit Hall's supreme existence, yet he actually likes being a s*mp. Silently looking down on him.]
After finishing his complaints, Zhao Ling clicked to upload the diary, receiving a B+ rating and the special ability: Truth-Telling.
This special ability could make a designated target spill all their innermost thoughts for ten minutes and could be used up to five times a day.
Zhao Ling found this special ability rather interesting. Sometimes it would be a wonderful tool for screwing someone over; he simply had not decided whom to use it on yet.
The instant Zhao Ling finished uploading his diary, Bibi Dong, Ah Yin, and Bo Saixi almost simultaneously saw their own exclusive "Zhao Ling's Diary Copy" suddenly appear, notifying them that the latest diary entry had been updated.
Knowing that others could not see their personal Diary Copies, Bibi Dong and Ah Yin opened theirs without regard for anyone around them.
After reading, Bibi Dong and Ah Yin exchanged a glance before both turning their eyes toward Bo Saixi.
So this beautiful woman was the fourth lucky person who could read the diary their husband wrote.
Hmm, she certainly was very pretty, but she seemed a little foolish.
Hadn't she read what their husband wrote in his diary? That old fellow named Tang Chen had already been possessed by some Bat King and had lost his mind.
Never mind how difficult it would be to restore his sanity-even if he really could recover, his body had been so badly depleted by that Bat King's prolonged possession that he might die soon afterward.
What was the point of being with a short-lived man who would soon die? Even if he didn't die early, with his body so severely depleted, he would probably struggle to give this woman happiness in the future, wouldn't he?
In that case, she might as well be with their husband. How happy being with him was!
So Ah Yin and Bibi Dong planned to join forces to trick that woman a little. Perhaps they could help her escape her sea of suffering.
Meanwhile, although Bo Saixi saw that "Zhao Ling's Diary Copy" had updated, with so many people watching her, she kept feeling that she could not read it in front of everyone.
This was something Lord Sea God had manifested and delivered before her for her to read. Wouldn't it be awkward if others saw it?
With that thought, Bo Saixi looked in the direction Qian Daoliu had left and sighed.
Sigh, that fellow Qian Daoliu doesn't know where Tang Chen is, and I can't ask where Zhao Ling is either. It looks like I'll have to leave first, find somewhere to stay, and work out a plan gradually.
At that thought, Bo Saixi was about to turn and leave when she noticed three unusual gazes fixed on her nearby.
Their gazes differed from everyone else's, though Bo Saixi could not immediately say exactly how.
For example, the two very beautiful women in evening gowns, whose looks and bearing were hardly inferior to hers, were actually looking at her with warmth. This was utterly baffling to Bo Saixi.
Clearly, this was their first meeting. They should not have been looking at her so warmly.
Then there was the handsome man. For some reason, Bo Saixi felt an involuntary fondness for him when she saw him.
She even found herself reluctant to take her eyes off him. His looks were actually inferior to Qian Daoliu's, yet there seemed to be a kind of magic about him that drew her in, making her want to get close.
Bo Saixi had never felt anything like this before. She wondered whether there was something wrong with her.
She had clearly come to inquire about Tang Chen's whereabouts, yet less than a day after arriving in Spirit City, she was so captivated by another man that she could barely walk away.
She pinched herself at the waist, immediately baring her teeth in pain.
But the burning pain at her waist brought her to her senses. She hurriedly turned and headed out of Spirit Hall, while Ghost Leopard Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo secretly sighed in relief.
So this woman who had barged into Spirit Hall actually had a connection to the Great Enshrined, and he even seemed interested in her. Unfortunately, the king yearned, but the goddess remained unmoved.
This woman had no such feelings for the Great Enshrined at all. Now that she was leaving, they did not dare stop her, and neither did the guards standing at the ready dare step forward to block her.
What a joke. This woman was the unattainable moonlight in the Great Enshrined's heart. If they angered her, the Great Enshrined would slaughter them.
They couldn't afford to offend her. They really couldn't...
Taking all this in, Ah Yin and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, each understanding what the other meant.
