Inside the Sea God Hall, everyone had breathed a sigh of relief after Tang San left, since Bo Saixi had completed her final mission, and her life should have been spared.
But at that moment, everyone was surprised to find that the golden flames surrounding Bo Saixi showed no signs of going out. Instead, they gradually turned blue and burned brighter and brighter, showing no sign of extinguishing.
Seeing that the blue flames had completely engulfed Bo Saixi, everyone panicked. Hai Wei'er hurriedly said to Qi Ling, " Qi Ling, what... what's going on? Please save Lady Bo Saixi!"
Seeing this, Qi Ling initially intended to intervene, but after observing the situation further, Qi Ling said, "Don't panic! Xi Xi Xi's aura hasn't weakened, and the flames don't seem to be harming her!"
After hearing Qi Ling's words, everyone looked at the blue flame and found that it did not have a scorching heat. On the contrary, it gave people a gentle feeling, like the ocean.
Surrounded by the flames, Bo Saixi felt no pain. Instead, she felt as if she had returned to a state of chaos, like being in the depths of the ocean, her whole body protected by a gentle power that made her feel very comfortable.
The blue flames persisted for a long time. Although the crowd was getting impatient, they dared not leave easily, nor did they dare to make any rash moves against them. Who knew what effect this thing would have on Bo Saixi?
Finally, after the blue flames began to die down, more than an hour had passed, and after the flames had completely stopped, Bo Saixi reappeared before everyone.
The few people present, looking at Bo Saixi at this moment, were all speechless with shock, their eyes wide open as if they had been subjected to a tremendous shock.
And that was indeed the case. Bo Saixi's once magnificent clothes were reduced to ashes in the flames, but that wasn't the point. The point was that her appearance had undergone an astonishing change!
The original Bo Saixi should have looked to be around thirty years old, but the current Bo Saixi clearly looks only about seventeen! And this isn't due to any alteration of her appearance; it's her true appearance!
This means that, at least physically, Bo Saixi has now returned to her appearance at seventeen, and is even younger than all the girls here.
Bo Saixi slowly opened her eyes. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, she couldn't help but look at herself. What she saw made her realize the gravity of the situation; she quickly covered her private parts and cried out, "Ah--!"
Bo Saixi's exclamation stunned everyone, including herself, because her voice had also undergone a dramatic change, from its original maturity to a youthful innocence, as melodious and pleasant as a young girl's.
"W-what... what happened to me?" Bo Saixi covered her face, saying in disbelief, "I've lost the power of the Sea God, so how did I become like this? Ah, Qi Ling, turn your head away!"
As the only male present, Qi Ling had no choice but to turn his head away from Bo Saixi. It seemed that Bo Saixi's personality had also undergone a huge change after her body became that of a young girl.
"I don't know if I'm right, but I suspect it's probably that flame that caused your current change, Xi Xi," Qi Ling said slowly. "It seems the Sea God did something good in the end, not only giving you your freedom but also a chance to be reborn! That's what a god should do!"
"A new life? But why am I this age? I've become so much younger, it's really hard to accept," Bo Saixi said in shock.
"That's actually quite understandable. Xi Xi, you should be around seventeen years old now, right?" Qi Ling said. " The Sea God must have his reasons for doing this! You can think about what important things happened to you when you were seventeen."
"Seventeen years old, seventeen years old..." Bo Saixi recalled carefully, then suddenly said, "I remember now! When I was seventeen, I was chosen as the High Priest, and from that moment on, I considered becoming the High Priest my mission!"
"Although I became High Priest long after that, this sense of responsibility arose at that time."
"That's it," Qi Ling said. "Since you've been given a new life, you naturally have to go back to the time when nothing started. So, Xi Xi, this time you're free."
After hearing Qi Ling's words, the others finally understood what had happened. Hai Wei'er exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful, Lord Bo Saixi! Now you can stop being bound by the High Priest's mission and do what you want!"
Bo Saixi nodded, but then said with difficulty, "But, Qi Ling, I have already promised you that I would become the High Priest of Dragon God Island, but now I have no power at all. What should I do?"
"It's alright, it doesn't matter. With your talent, Xi Xi, it's only a matter of time before you regain your strength," Qi Ling said.
This wasn't Qi Ling trying to comfort Bo Saixi; rather, after reviewing Bo Saixi's data, Qi Ling was finally certain of one conclusion: Bo Saixi's talent was indeed astonishing, comparable to Tang San and Luna, and far superior to the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
After all, Bo Saixi received a red rating during the Sea God Test, which already demonstrates her exceptional talent! With the right methods, she can regain her strength sooner or later.
"It's alright, Bo Saixi... Xi Xi!" Xiao Wu stepped forward and took Bo Saixi's hand, saying, "Look, I'm powerless too, aren't I? These aren't problems anymore, Brother Qi will definitely be able to help us."
Although everyone knew that Bo Saixi's inner self hadn't changed, they really couldn't bring themselves to call her "Senior Bo Saixi " anymore. So Xiao Wu simply followed Qi Ling's example and started calling her Xi Xi as well.
In the Sea God Hall, there were actually spare clothes that Bo Saixi usually wore, but after she transformed into this size, they no longer fit. Helpless, Qi Ling had to take out a few of Xiao Wu's clothes from her own space for her to wear temporarily, as they would be more suitable.
"Lord Bo Saixi," Hai Wei'er said, not daring to address him as Bo Saixi like Xiao Wu did, "Now that you have regained your freedom, what are your plans for the future?"
Bo Saixi thought for a moment, then suddenly said, " Hai Wei'er, obey my command! In the name of the High Priest of Sea God Island, I issue you one last order: from this day forward, you are the new High Priest of Sea God Island, and all affairs of the island will be under your responsibility! Are you willing?"
Hai Wei'er hurriedly knelt down and said, " Hai Wei'er is willing!"
"Well then, I'll leave Sea God Island to you from now on," Bo Saixi said with a smile. "As for me, now that I'm the High Priest of Dragon God Island, I'll naturally have to listen to the Dragon God in this matter."
