Qi Ling looked at the playful Dragon Maiden and couldn't help but feel helpless. Logically speaking, a powerful figure like her, who was even stronger than Bo Saixi, should be more composed, but her actions didn't seem out of place at all.
The reason for this is that the Dragon Maiden's temperament is too special. It seems that she can perfectly match any temperament, and the changes are very natural and unintentional.
Qi Ling didn't know if this was what would happen if one's strength reached her level, but at least for now, he felt helpless and could only say, "Hey, are you the guardian of my Godhood? Why are you behaving like this!"
The Dragon Maiden laughed and said, "Hehe, because it's no use telling you. Even if I told you, you still wouldn't be able to recover your strength."
"Then you should at least let me know why I lost my strength, so I can have some idea of what's going on," Qi Ling said helplessly.
The Dragon Maiden thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. The reason you lost your power is quite simple! Did you encounter an insurmountable opponent before, one whose strength far surpassed yours?"
Qi Ling immediately thought of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King she had fought before. She had to admit that she really had no chance of winning back then. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, being in the ocean, was just too terrifying.
"You mean, I overused my power back then? But why don't I have any memories of it?" Qi Ling asked, puzzled.
"Because your memories, along with your Martial Soul and Soul Power, were sealed away! Only after you regain your power will you be able to remember what happened back then," the Dragon Maiden said.
"When will I be able to regain my power?" Qi Ling asked.
"It will take at least a month. At that time, I will naturally come to help you recover your strength."
After that, Sea Horse Douluo led everyone to Seahorse City, a town belonging to Sea Horse Douluo with a population of over a thousand.
On the way to Seahorse City, the Dragon Girl explained her relationship with the Sea God Douluo Poseidon to everyone. In short, the two can be considered best friends, and have been friends for at least several decades. As guardians of the same divine position, they can talk about anything with each other.
At the same time, everyone noticed that everyone on the island respected the Dragon Maiden the same way, even more so than Bo Saixi, who was the Great Enshrined. This included Sea Horse Douluo, who also showed the Dragon Maiden great respect.
Besides the Dragon Maiden's immense power, another reason for this is that she also represents a guardian of the Godhood Dragon Maiden, naturally deserving the same respect as Bo Saixi.
Upon arriving outside Seahorse City, Sea Horse Douluo began explaining the Sea God Trial to everyone. As expected, apart from Qi Ling, Jian Lan, and Bai Chenxiang, everyone's first trial was called " Crossing the Sea God's Light."
Since everyone faces the same test, this is naturally a good thing, as it allows everyone to work together to figure out how to pass the test and learn from each other's experiences.
After everyone finished dinner, they prepared to rest in the room prepared by Sea Horse Douluo. But just then, the Dragon Maiden stopped Qi Ling and said to him, "Hehe, it's still early, Master. Why don't you come with me for a stroll on Sea God Island?"
Qi Ling was about to refuse, but the Dragon Maiden seemed to have read his mind and said with a smile, "You can't refuse me, Master! Don't you want to know about your Dragon God Trial?"
" The Dragon God Trial?" Qi Ling frowned, took out a dragon-shaped key from her person, and said, "Is it related to this?"
Seeing Qi Ling take out the key, the Dragon Maiden exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Master, you've actually obtained the key to Dragon God Island? So, you've already met that annoying guy?"
As she spoke, the Dragon Maiden carefully sniffed Qi Ling's body and said, "Hmm, as expected, although the feeling is very faint due to the seal, Master, you have indeed absorbed that guy's power!"
The creature the Dragon Maiden was referring to must be the black and white Xiaolong. Although she didn't know what grudge they had, they seemed to know each other. This made Qi Ling even more curious. What exactly was this Dragon God's Godhood that she was to inherit?
Upon learning that Qi Ling had obtained the key, the Dragon Maiden was even happier. She pulled Qi Ling out of Seahorse City and began to stroll around Sea God Island. While sightseeing, she kept telling Qi Ling about herself.
As Qi Ling listened, he also felt a strange sensation, and finally he asked, " Dragon Maiden, do you feel particularly lonely?"
The Dragon Maiden stopped and looked at Qi Ling, saying, "Hehe, I can't hide it from you after all, Master. Yes, I really do feel very lonely, because I have no other friends here except for Xi Xi."
"It's not that I don't want to interact with others, but it's just too difficult. When you can see right through someone at a glance, it's hard to be friends with them," the Dragon Maiden said helplessly. "But there's nothing I can do. I have to wait for you. I can't leave this world until I see you."
Qi Ling asked, "Is it like that Xiaolong? Did you not originally belong to this world? And who exactly is the Dragon God you speak of?"
"Master, I cannot tell you these questions now; these are things you will only know at a certain time," the Dragon Maiden smiled. "But there is one question I can answer! It's not that the Dragon God chose you, but rather that you are the Dragon God!"
Hearing the Dragon Maiden's words, Qi Ling felt even more confused. She was clearly Qi Ling, someone who had transmigrated from another world, how could she possibly be some kind of Dragon God?
Thinking about this, Qi Ling silently wondered if she really did have some special identity, and then she would also have to "end her three-year term"? That would be too melodramatic.
As they chatted, they arrived at the edge of a cliff on the island. It was already night, and the sky was filled with countless stars, a truly beautiful sight.
"Isn't it beautiful! This is my favorite place. I bring Xi Xi here to look at the stars every day." The Dragon Maiden took Qi Ling's arm and sat down with him.
"You've waited for me all these years, do you really think it was worth it?" Qi Ling looked at the Dragon Maiden, and when she thought about how she had waited here for so many years just to wait for her, she couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's worth it, even if it takes another hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, it's still worth it," the Dragon Maiden said. "Master, please have more confidence. Perhaps you don't know what you mean to the Dragon Clan?"
"For Bo Saixi and Sea God Island, Tang San's Sea God Trial cannot be failed; it concerns the very survival of Sea God Island."
"And you, Master, represent the entire Dragon Clan. You are everything to the Dragon Clan, the hope of all Dragon Clan."
