Chapter 651: Poseixi Has No Past

"Why does the Master want to come to Sea God Island? With the Master's strength, there's no need to come here for training, right?"

Hearing Qin Jian's instruction, Xiaobai transformed into her true form and swam forward with him on her back, just as if she had truly become a mount.

Hearing her curious inquiry, Qin Jian smiled: "Can't I want to try inheriting the Sea God Position?"

Xiaobai, beneath his feet, rolled her large eyes: "Does the Master take me for an idiot? Looking at your tone, along with your formidable strength and talent, it doesn't look like you'd care for the Sea God Inheritance at all."

"Although I don't need it, they both urgently need to improve their strength, which is why I brought them here," Qin Jian said, gesturing toward Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

Xiaobai realized: "So that's how it is. If one can pass the Sea God Island trials, it can indeed improve one's strength to a great extent, but..."

She raised her eyes, seemingly glancing at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu: "Once you pass the Sea God Island trials, you can only live on Sea God Island forever. Do they have to join Sea God Island too?"

Qin Jian smiled faintly: "With me here, who could force them to stay?"

Xiaobai clearly paused: "Uh... but Sea God Island has the High Priest; the Master should have heard of the prestige of the Sea God Douluo, right?"

"I know, Poseixi, right?" Qin Jian crossed his arms, tapping his fingers against them with a peculiar smile: "Invincible in the ocean; even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King wouldn't want to clash head-on with her in the sea."

Calculating purely by real power, both Poseixi and Qian Daoliu were stronger than Qin Jian.

Currently, he had not yet reached level 99, and his few bursts of power were only achieved through Fusion with Na'er.

Therefore, if he were to face Poseixi with his own strength, he really wouldn't be able to win.

"Then, Master, you still want to go against the Sea God Douluo?" Xiaobai asked.

"You don't need to worry for Brother Jian..."

Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke up with a green glint in her eyes: "After all, he came to Sea God Island specifically for this Sea God Douluo."

"That's right," Xiao Wu followed closely, her tone sounding chilly: "Once Brother eats her up, both person and heart, is there any need to worry about the rules of Sea God Island?"

"Eat... her up, heart and all?!"

Xiaobai opened her mouth wide, nearly choking on seawater in the ocean: "Mas... Master, this 'eating up' of yours, is it literal?"

Before Qin Jian could speak, Ning Rongrong said: "Of course it's not that kind of eating up, but the other kind—the kind you want."

Xiaobai was almost dizzy from her repeated use of "that kind": "The kind I want?"

"The Master wants to mate with the Sea God Douluo?!" She suddenly realized.

Qin Jian was speechless: "Can't you use a different word..."

"What she said isn't wrong, isn't it just mating?" Ning Rongrong said, rolling her eyes.

"But..."

Xiaobai was stunned for a long while before saying: "Master, the Sea God Douluo doesn't seem to be attracted to that kind of romantic affection between men and women. From the time she was born until now, I have never seen her take a fancy to anyone."

"Perhaps there's no one on Sea God Island worthy of her attention... Eh? Wait... never?"

Qin Jian asked in surprise: "Not even people from outside Sea God Island? I heard that Tang Chen, who was invincible on land, and Qian Daoliu, who was invincible in the sky, both came to challenge the Sea God Douluo, right?"

"The Master means..."

Xiaobai pondered for a moment before realizing: "Does the Master think the Sea God Douluo might have taken a fancy to them?"

"After all, they are considered outstanding, especially Tang Chen, who reached the level 99 Limit Douluo without even having a God Inheritance," Qin Jian said.

"No," Xiaobai shook her head blankly: "Not a single sign. I remember that back then, both Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen proposed to Lady Poseixi, but... um, what was it she said..."

She thought for a long while, then a flash of inspiration struck: "I remember now, Lady Poseixi's original words were, 'You want me to be a second wife? Aren't you being a bit too confident?'"

Qin Jian and the others: "..."

That was true; how could someone as proud as Poseixi be willing to be a second wife?

After all, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were already married with children long ago; it was questionable whether their own wives were even still around, so where did they get the confidence to ask Poseixi to be a second wife?

"What happened later?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

Xiaobai thought for a moment and said: "Later, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were very unconvinced and said they would come back to find her after they became gods."

"After they became gods..." Qin Jian asked according to the plot in his memory: "Could it be that Poseixi gave them that test on purpose?"

"No," Xiaobai said without hesitation: "I remember that after they left, Lady Poseixi turned around and went straight back to her Sea God Hall, leaving only one sentence... She said, 'The person I am waiting for has not yet arrived, so how could I like someone else, let alone be a second wife'..."

Qin Jian: "..."

"Who is she waiting for?"

He grasped the key to the problem.

Xiaobai shook her head blankly: "I don't know either. Many people heard that sentence, but for so many years, no one has been able to figure out who she is waiting for..."

"Decades have passed since then, and the person she was waiting for never appeared, so everyone concluded that her words back then were just an excuse, and that such a person didn't actually exist," Xiaobai said.

Hearing these words, Qin Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, he thought he would have to carry a hoe and dig into someone else's relationship again, just like with Zhu Zhuqing.

But hearing this now, Poseixi had never had a lover, which made things much easier...

"The person she is waiting for," he suddenly realized: "Could it be me?"

"Uh..."

Xiaobai almost choked on seawater again.

"Master, you haven't even met Lady Poseixi, how could you be the person she is waiting for?" she said, speechless.

Qin Jian pondered in silence.

Theoretically, it was impossible, but his level had jumped to 93 out of thin air.

Without having spent any time together, this was almost the peak of favorability.

"Brother Jian, is there a problem?"

Ning Rongrong clearly thought of this point as well.

"I don't know, but it is indeed worth noting," Qin Jian said: "If things go wrong, it might be another pre-arranged plot. I just don't know if she is a pawn or a player?"

The possibility of her being a player is lower, after all, matters of the heart cannot be faked.

Moreover, this time is different from the time with Qian Renxue; this time, the favorability wasn't forced up, so it shouldn't be a wrong start.

After all, it is a bit far-fetched for a person to develop affection for someone they have never met based on another's description, but it is not impossible.

What's more, this seems to have lasted for decades, so reaching the pinnacle of affection is still considered normal...

Then, was it truly intentional by the Sea God?

"Right, what is the Sea God's name?" Ning Rongrong suddenly asked.

Qin Jian reacted immediately, his expression changing: "Is it... Poseidon?"

"Master, watch your tongue!"

Xiaobai looked around as if she had done something wrong, her manner cautious: "Although the Sea God is no longer here, he often sends down decrees to the Sea God Hall, so no one dares to be disrespectful to the Sea God, otherwise they will be hunted down by Sea God Island..."
