Bo Saixi's Questions, Qian Xunling's Request

The next day, after sobering up and feeling a bit of a headache, Qian Xunling looked towards the door. Bibi Dong opened the door and walked in, beaming with joy upon seeing Qian Xunling, "Uncle-Master, you're awake!"

Not only her, but Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin followed behind, with Ah Yin following behind them. Their gazes darted towards Qian Xunling somewhat evasively. Qian Xunling stood up, realizing she had blacked out last night, and asked, "I didn't do anything last night, did I?"

"Hehe... We almost succeeded, but we stopped it." Chen Xin couldn't help but smile, not bothering to hide it. Qian Xunling didn't care much, as long as it didn't happen.

At this moment, Chen Jianjun said, "Young Master Xunling, the Great Enshrined wants you to go see her."

"I didn't say anything to her last night, did I?" Qian Xunling asked, somewhat nervously.

Bibi Dong whispered in response, "Uncle-Master, you said she was old last night."

"That's all?" Qian Xunling asked again, and the Little Spider shook its head, saying, "That's all."

"That's alright." Qian Xunling straightened her clothes. She also had something to discuss with Bo Saixi, so she said to Chen Jianjun, "Lead the way."

The Little Spider spoke up, "Uncle-Master, you haven't eaten anything yet."

"It's nothing serious." Qian Xunling waved her hand impatiently, then followed Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, where the Sea Witch and the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar had been waiting for a long time.

The Sea Witch waved to Qian Xunling and said, "Young Master Xunling."

"Hmm." Qian Xunling nodded, not quite understanding why she was suddenly so excited about her. She hadn't been this enthusiastic when they first met. However, Qian Xunling didn't pay much attention to it and said, "Lead the way, I also have something to discuss with the Great Enshrined."

"What can you talk about with the Great Enshrined?" the Sea Witch asked curiously. Qian Xunling rolled her eyes at her. "That's none of your business."

The Sea Witch pouted, somewhat displeased, but remained silent. The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar smiled and said, "Let's go."

The group headed to the Sea God Hall atop Sea God Mountain. Along the way, Qian Xunling saw the Nine Heaven Mysterious Steps radiating the Sea God's Light, with a pink rabbit hopping around on the stairs.

Xiao Wu?

Qian Xunling asked, "Why is Xiao Wu over there?"

Chen Jianjun replied, "Xiao Wu is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she cannot initiate the Sea God's trial. However, the Great Enshrined said that she can cultivate through the Nine Heaven Mysterious Steps, so she comes here whenever she has free time these days."

Seemingly noticing Qian Xunling and the others' gazes, Xiao Wu stopped, raised her pink head, and hissed as if to greet them.

Chen Jianjun nodded and smiled, sighing, "I originally thought that all Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were extremely ferocious, but after seeing Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, and Lord Xiao Bai, I admit that my previous understanding was flawed. I still have a long way to go."

Chen Xin nodded. "Me too."

Soon the group arrived at the Sea God Hall. Qian Xunling had no interest in their sentiments and walked straight into the Sea God Hall. They could not enter without Bo Saixi's permission.

Unlike the solemnity of the Angel God Worship Hall in Spirit City, the Sea God Hall is more like the gentle warmth of the sea, but it also contains the hidden dangers of the sea.

Bo Saixi was still dressed in her red robe, dignified and proper. She stood in the center of the Sea God Hall and looked back at Qian Xunling.

After being stunned by her appearance for a moment, Qian Xunling regained her composure and asked, "I wonder what business the Great Enshrined has with me? Let me preface this by saying that I was drunk last night, and most of what I said was nonsense, so please don't take it seriously."

In response to Qian Xunling's probing, Bo Saixi shook her head slightly and said directly, "I summoned you here to ask what you discussed with the Lord Sea God that day, and why you have the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Logically, you should be the Sea God's successor, but why aren't you?"

"Well, it's not something that can't be said. It's just that I made a cooperation with the Sea God, which you've probably already heard about, so I won't repeat it." Qian Xunling Qian Xunling observed her expression and, after she nodded, continued, "As for why I didn't become the Sea God's successor, it's because there are other deities stronger than the Sea God who didn't want me to inherit the Sea God."

"A deity even more powerful than the Lord Sea God?" Bo Saixi was somewhat surprised, but quickly accepted it, as the Lord Sea God had previously told her about the Divine Realm.

"Great Enshrined, is there anything else you wish to ask?" Qian Xunling inquired. Seeing Bo Saixi hesitate, Qian Xunling said, "Since you have nothing else to ask, Great Enshrined, then it's my turn to speak with you. Is that alright?"

"What do you want with me?" Bo Saixi asked curiously.

"I need your help to hunt down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King," Qian Xunling said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bo Saixi shook her head and said, "I can't do it. Let alone whether I can kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, killing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is one of the God Trial that the Sea Lord Sea God has given to Sea God successor. I will not disobey the Lord Sea God's will."

"Lord Sea God, Lord Sea God, I'm truly fed up with you all! Can't you even have your own ideas?" Qian Xunling said somewhat unhappily, "Qian Daoliu is like this, and so are you, so compared to Tang Chen, I'm even more impatient with you."

Bo Saixi assumed that Qian Xunling because she hadn't helped him, and her expression immediately turned displeased.

Qian Xunling stared at Bo Saixi and said angrily, "You've lived for so long, haven't you ever thought about Sea God Island? Not even the slightest thought?"

"Why do you ask that?" Bo Saixi had, of course, considered it, but as the spokesperson for the Sea God, she had to set an example so that the others on Sea God Island would be sufficiently devout to the Lord Sea God. She replied, "No, I have already dedicated my life to the Lord Sea God."

"Ridiculous! If you really had no ideas at all, you wouldn't have made such a promise to Tang Chen. In fact, you want him to become a god even more than he does." Qian Xunling said angrily, her eyes seeming to see right through Bo Saixi's heart. Bo Saixi felt as if an invisible arrow had pierced her heart.

After staring at Qian Xunling for a moment in disbelief, she quickly suppressed her emotions. She desperately wanted to know how Qian Xunling knew, but she still unconsciously feigned displeasure and said, "What you said is even more ridiculous. I don't have that kind of thought."

"If you're just venting your emotions right now, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, or don't blame me for kicking you out."

At the same time, Bo Saixi unleashed his Level 99 Soul Power pressure.

However, Qian Xunling ignored her completely, instead smirking and coldly saying, "Your love for Tang Chen is real, but your desire to Sea God Island is also real. From the moment you saw the exceptionally talented Tang Chen enter Sea God Island, you projected both of these emotions onto Tang Chen, because you clearly know that gods can bring their families with them when they ascend to the Divine Realm, so you can get rid of your identity as the Great Enshrined."

"Shut up!" Bo Saixi snapped, pressing her Soul Power heavily onto Qian Xunling. But this wasn't the first time Qian Xunling had felt this pressure; as if she were already used to it, she crouched down slightly and continued, "Aren't you curious why I saw through your thoughts?"

Bo Saxi looked at Qian Xunling with a serious expression on his handsome face, but did not say a word.

Qian Xunling said coldly, "Do you think I'm the only one who saw through it? Actually, my father saw through it too, which is why he chose to let you go!"

"Qian Daoliu?" Bo Saixi had never imagined such a situation, because Qian Daoliu had never received her true attention, neither in the past nor now.

She said coldly, "You can leave now."

After a mere fraction of a second of sadness over her cheap father, Qian Xunling shouted, "What if I told you I could make you the new Sea God?"

"What did you say?" Bo Saixi looked at Qian Xunling in surprise.
