The Heavenly Screen had been quiet for a long time.
Apart from occasionally taking the two women out to sea for a ride, Qian Xunji spent the rest of his time on a familiar routine.
Bo Saixi had also grown accustomed to a lecher showing up while she slept in the dead of night and then committing acts of violence against her.
One day, the Heavenly Screen suddenly stirred again.
[An opportunity for spacetime convergence has appeared. Three lucky individuals will be selected in succession for journeys across spacetime. The respective time limits are three days, half a year, and one year.] [Now selecting the first lucky individual.]
...Original timeline...
"Me! Me! It has to be me!
I'm on my knees, Heavenly Screen Daddy!"
Countless Soul Masters were in an uproar. There were three lucky individuals-even if they only traveled back for three days, they could at least admire the magnificent figure of His Holiness the Pope.
Or, if they didn't appear on Sea God Island, they could return to the past and make plans for three days... though that didn't seem very useful either.
"Dad, can we meet again?"
In the Worship Hall, Qian Renxue gazed at the Heavenly Screen, her expression excited.
She prayed in her heart. What if, just what if, she was chosen again?
She was now a Level 96 Super Douluo.
Would Dad be pleased with her cultivation progress?
Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi felt an impulse too, but she quickly shook her head.
She couldn't leave Sea God Island for long.
Besides, there were so many people on the Douluo Continent. If the selection was random, how could it possibly land on her?
But if she were chosen, she would appear before Qian Xunji at once and grind his face under her foot.
During this time, whenever she saw Qian Xunji committing acts of violence against "her" in the middle of the night, she wished she could take her place.
If it were her, she would do everything she could to resist Qian Xunji's violence.
Unlike the Bo Saixi in the Heavenly Screen, who was so pathetic. She had grown accustomed to meekly enduring it, and her resistance was neither fierce nor exciting in the least.
Bo Saixi thought that her own resistance would certainly be fierce.
She looked at the Heavenly Screen in the sky.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't looking forward to it.
"Lord Heavenly Screen, take pity on a lonely old woman and let me go for three days.
Just three days!"
Any longer, and Bo Saixi feared something would happen on Sea God Island.
Gilded characters appeared one by one on the Heavenly Screen.
[First lucky individual-Bo Saixi. Journey across spacetime: three days.]
"Me?"
Pleasantly surprised, Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes glimmered, but she quickly realized she was dressed far too lightly.
Her smooth, lustrous body was faintly visible beneath her bright red gauze robe.
If she traveled over dressed like this, that lecher Qian Xunji would surely give her a frantic pounding without stopping to ask any questions.
But the Heavenly Screen wasn't about to give her a chance to prepare.
After a moment of mental disorientation, Bo Saixi found herself in the Heavenly Screen Spacetime.
As it happened, Qian Xunji hadn't gone to surprise Bo Saixi that night. He was enjoying the breeze by the sea.
An energy fluctuation suddenly came from behind him. Sensing that familiar presence, Qian Xunji's lips curled.
"Oh? It's only been two days since I last favored you, and you've come running to me yourself?"
Qian Xunji turned around and saw Bo Saixi's blood-pumping attire.
"You lecher, don't look!"
Bo Saixi's face flushed, but the next moment she was forcefully pinned to the ground.
"I have to resist. Right, I have to resist fiercely!"
Bo Saixi resisted fiercely, giving Qian Xunji a thrill he hadn't felt in a long time.
"Not bad, High Priestess. You did well today.
I'll be sure to lavish my affection on you."
A golden barrier enveloped the shore. In the Sea God Hall, Bo Saixi sensed something and knitted her brows.
"That bastard hasn't come for two days.
Could it be that he thinks I'm old and faded and has lost interest?"
Bo Saixi looked at her lustrous, jade-like face in the mirror.
She wasn't old.
...Original timeline...
Countless Soul Masters watched the Heavenly Screen expectantly, only for their hopes to be dashed.
"Bo Saixi? The High Priestess of Sea God Island?
Heavens, if the High Priestess traveled across spacetime, how much pleasure would that be?
I can hardly imagine it."
The images the Heavenly Screen showed were very discreet, often obscured by mosaics or black screens.
But everyone was an adult. Even thinking with their feet, they knew the High Priestess must have been whipped by His Holiness the Pope countless times.
And now, two High Priestesses were taking the field together...
Hiss!
"If I could experience one day as His Holiness the Pope, I'd be willing even if it meant becoming a Peerless Douluo."
The Heavenly Screen was a blur of chaos, its images impossible to make out.
Everyone assumed it was selecting a lucky individual.
But half an hour passed, and there was still no movement from the Heavenly Screen.
This scene was all too familiar.
It couldn't be, could it?
The Worship Hall.
Qian Renxue was also stunned by what her father had done.
Had the High Priestess been taken down the moment she appeared?
Qian Daoliu wasn't in the Worship Hall. He was hiding in a dark corner, weeping.
"My Xi Xi..."
[Now selecting the second lucky individual-]
At last, the Heavenly Screen stirred again.
Large gilded characters appeared, with the same chaos in the background.
Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up. "Phew, thank goodness. It's not what I thought.
The Heavenly Screen is showing a scene of chaos because it's selecting the second lucky individual.
Not because...
Yes, that must be it.
My Xi Xi will surely come back in one piece."
Qian Daoliu knew he shouldn't covet his daughter-in-law, but... she was his white moonlight~
"The second lucky individual can stay in the Heavenly Screen Spacetime for half a year.
If His Holiness the Pope takes a liking to them, they'll surely be able to lay the foundation for becoming a god.
Just like Qian Renxue."
"Pah, dream on! Do you really think His Holiness the Pope would treat just anyone that way?
Qian Renxue has the Angel Martial Soul and is His Holiness the Pope's daughter. That's why she received such treatment.
After Bibi Dong betrayed His Holiness, I'm afraid he won't readily take on another disciple."
[Second lucky individual-Zhu Zhuqing! Journey across spacetime: half a year!]
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai faced each other with cold eyes.
"Zhu Zhuqing, forgive me. I won't ever go again."
Dai Mubai patiently tried to take Zhu Zhuqing's hand, but she slashed open his skin with a claw.
"I told you, I wouldn't let you touch me until I saw your sincerity.
But now, I'm completely disappointed in you.
From this day on, there is nothing between us."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was icy. She had been trying to forgive Dai Mubai during this time.
But Dai Mubai's various actions had chilled her heart completely.
Zhu Zhuqing turned to leave, but Dai Mubai blocked her path. "Zhu Zhuqing, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!
You're a member of the Zhu Family. It's your mission to marry into the imperial family and use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
You're my fiancée.
Do you think you can stay alive if you leave?
Stick with me, and you'll still have a sliver of hope.
You want to cut ties with me?
There's no need to go back to the Star Luo Empire. I'll kill you right now!"
Dai Mubai was fed up. He had put on an act for months, and just when he was about to get his hands on hers and then win her over...
He had been caught fooling around.
This woman really didn't know what was good for her!
Couldn't she have just pretended not to notice? Did she have to tear off the mask?
"Even if you kill me, I'll never accept you!"
Zhu Zhuqing used Martial Soul Possession, apparently dead set on cutting ties with Dai Mubai.
"Fine, fine, fine! I'd like to see if you're still that stubborn in bed!"
A lecherous gleam flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes as he used his White Tiger Martial Soul Possession.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew even colder. "I'd rather die than let you have your way!"
"Hmph, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai immediately used his third Soul Skill, intending to strike first.
But just then, a spacetime passage opened and enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.
"Impossible!"
Dai Mubai struck without hesitation, his attack utterly vicious.
He absolutely couldn't let Zhu Zhuqing go to the Heavenly Screen Spacetime.
If Qian Xunji took a liking to her and gave her a little guidance, what chance would he have?
Zhu Zhuqing could hardly believe it either. Had she actually been chosen?
She had already fallen into despair, but now she saw the first glimmer of hope.
"I must gain His Holiness the Pope's guidance, no matter the cost.
I will kill you, Dai Mubai!"
The spacetime passage vanished, leaving only Zhu Zhuqing's voice echoing in Dai Mubai's ears.
