...Sky Screen Timeline...
Qian Renxue's departure did not disrupt Qian Xunji's daily routine.
He continued teaching Ah Yin and Ye Qingxian to cultivate every day.
Bo Saixi had also been dropping by to join the fun more and more often lately.
Of course, the two of them could hardly do without their quarrels and fights.
"Qian Xunji, I'll stomp you to death!!!"
Her smooth, flawless foot was still dusted with fine sand as it pressed against Qian Xunji's chest.
Qian Xunji casually caught her little foot and stroked it. "Well, High Priestess, you're no spring chicken, but you've taken pretty good care of yourself.
"Look at this little foot, tender as jade. Even a baby's skin can hardly compare."
A roguish grin hung on Qian Xunji's lips, and his gaze grew increasingly invasive as he looked at Bo Saixi.
"You! Let go!"
Her fair, delicate toes curled together, and Bo Saixi's face flushed scarlet, but even pulling her foot back proved surprisingly difficult.
"Let go!"
"What if I don't?"
"Bite me?"
Qian Xunji's shameless manner made Bo Saixi grind her teeth in hatred.
"You bastard! I'll bite you to death!"
Bo Saixi pounced on him and sank her teeth into his hand.
"Damn, are you a dog?"
Qian Xunji hadn't expected the High Priestess to abandon her dignity and bite him. In his haste, he put up a hand to block her.
"Hiss! That hurts! Let go!"
Smack!
Qian Xunji slapped Bo Saixi's full, pert buttocks.
Bo Saixi grew even more mortified, but she still refused to let go.
"If you don't let go, I won't go easy on you!"
Qian Xunji threatened her, but Bo Saixi still refused to let go.
Smack!
Another slap landed, noticeably harder this time, with a sharper sound.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingxian tactfully left the beach.
But the people beneath the sky screen did not leave.
...Original Timeline...
"Mmm, High Priestess, step on me! Step on me! I promise I won't fight back."
"Pah! If you don't fight back, the High Priestess definitely won't like you.
"If men aren't bad, women won't love them.
"The less His Holiness the Pope holds back with the High Priestess, the harder it is for her to pull herself away."
Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu watched the scene on the sky screen, his heart throbbing with pain.
"You brat!!! That's your father's white moonlight!"
But there was nothing he could do. Besides, the Holy Luan was still making its sacrifice.
Qian Renxue's Soul Power had already soared to Level 90.
The Blazing Light Sacred Luan in the Heavenly Screen Spacetime had provided Qian Renxue with an External Soul Bone, the Holy Light Wings.
The Blazing Light Sacred Luan in their spacetime had provided Qian Renxue with a torso bone.
That left Qian Renxue only three Soul Bones short.
He, an old man, would go find those three Soul Bones himself.
The sea was vast. He refused to believe he couldn't find three Soul Bones.
As for the Angel God Armor, it had already been discarded.
Sea God Island.
Curled up in her bedchamber, the High Priestess watched the scene on the sky screen, waving her arms and legs.
"Bite him! Not his hand, bite his mouth!
"Stupid Bo Saixi, if it were me, I'd have made my move ages ago.
"Just go for it!
"Can you do it or not? If you can't, let me!
"What are you being so reserved for?"
When it came to watching the excitement without caring how big it got, and being a keyboard warrior, the High Priestess had no equal.
It was only because there was no one else around. Otherwise, she would have had to maintain some decorum.
...Sky Screen Timeline...
Bo Saixi also noticed that no one seemed to be watching from the beach anymore, and grew bolder still.
"You dare slap my butt? I'll fight you to the death!"
Flushed with anger and shame, her blood rushing to her head, Bo Saixi released Qian Xunji's hand and immediately chomped down on his mouth.
"Hmm?"
Qian Xunji clearly hadn't expected Bo Saixi to be so bold.
"Old woman, looking to eat tender grass?"
"Calling me old? What part of me is old?"
"What part of you isn't old?"
"None of me is old. My skin's so tender you could pinch water out of it."
"Oh, give me a break!"
"I-I'm eating tender grass, all right!"
On the beach, the battle spiraled out of control.
The Great God of Mosaics hacked the sky screen again, temporarily making it impossible to watch.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi's rosy little mouth fell open wide enough to fit a small egg.
"They're-they're really doing it?
"My, my reputation, my image..."
"Ah, wait, that's on the beach! Isn't that a little too exciting...? I... I want to go too."
Bo Saixi muttered under her breath, then looked around. She was alone, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, Bo Saixi, Bo Saixi, you... with you acting like this, how am I supposed to show my face?"
Bo Saixi was deeply resentful, because Bo Saixi's actions had shattered her image as High Priestess.
"You got all the benefits, and I'm the one suffering all the consequences.
"It's not fair.
"I protest!"
The soft sofa enveloped Bo Saixi's shapely body. Her fair, slender fingers slowly traced her smooth thigh, and at some point, she quietly lifted the hem of her skirt...
"If the sky screen would let me go there too... maybe I could sneak a taste."
The unhealthy thoughts lingered in Bo Saixi's mind for a long time.
...Sky Screen Timeline...
A golden barrier covered the beach, preventing anyone from approaching or peeking inside.
No one knew what had happened within.
All they knew was that Bo Saixi had changed clothes when she left, her face so flushed it looked ready to drip. The gaze she gave Qian Xunji was cold, yet tinged with tenderness.
Sea God Island enjoyed a few rare days of peace.
Qian Xunji carried on as usual, occasionally giving Ye Qingxian and Ah Yin pointers on their cultivation.
On this day, Qian Xunji took out another two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone for Ye Qingxian to absorb.
After absorbing the Soul Bone, Ye Qingxian's Soul Power also reached Level 50.
"You can take the First Trial now. Crossing the Sea God's Light."
In just over three months, the two women had gained the confidence to complete the Sea God's First Trial.
...Original Timeline...
"The two wives of the Pope are about to take the Sea God's First Trial."
"His Holiness the Pope's training methods are still far too advanced.
"Is there a practical way to do it that doesn't require wealth or a powerful background?"
Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao watched the scene on the sky screen, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
Ah Yin...
"Brother Hao, have you rested enough?"
Tang Hao's injuries were too severe for him to keep pace with the two Titled Douluo.
Moreover, they had reached the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest and had to get themselves into peak condition.
After capturing that Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast, they had to withdraw from the Star Dou Great Forest in one go.
"I'm rested!"
Tang Hao reluctantly pulled his gaze away from the sky screen.
Wearing such a green hat every day was enough to make him sick at heart.
"Let's go!"
The Third Elder urged them on as well. Every extra moment they spent in the Star Dou Great Forest meant taking on a little more risk.
The three of them sped toward the Lake of Life.
A short while later, a ten-meter-tall figure, like a small mountain, appeared in their sight.
"That's the Titan Giant Ape."
"The girl on his shoulder is Xiao San's friend.
"They're close.
"I'll go speak to her first. If that really doesn't work, I'll make the first move.
"Big Brother, you and the Third Elder cover my retreat."
"All right! Be careful, Brother Hao."
Tang Hao nodded firmly. He had let Xiao Wu go once before, after all, so she probably wouldn't attack him.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang Hao called out in a deep voice, already changing direction to appear in a spacious clearing.
He deliberately exposed the injury where his arm had been severed.
Hearing the call, Xiao Wu immediately turned around, surprise on her face.
"Clear Sky Douluo?"
"Roar!!! Human!"
The Titan Giant Ape had also spotted Tang Hao. Instantly enraged, he rose to his full height, a heavy presence enveloping Tang Hao.
"Er Ming, don't be rash. Clear Sky Douluo is a good person.
"He even personally escorted me to the Star Dou Great Forest a while ago."
