Chapter 659: Is the Sea God in a Hurry?

"???"

Countless question marks danced over Sea God Island.

Everyone had a blank look on their face, appearing completely stunned, clearly needing time to properly digest the content of this unprecedented God Trial.

In the end, it was actually Poseixi who was the first to regain her senses.

Because she was curious about what the other one was, she looked directly at Xiao Wu: "What about you? What is your first Assessment?"

Xiao Wu crossed her arms and said dryly: "Sea God Nine Trials, first trial: find a way to make Sea God Douluo Poseixi and Soul Beast King Qin Jian hold hands."

Everyone: "..."

For a moment, the scene fell into an eerie silence; no one knew what to say.

Poseixi was easier to accept it, after all, she knew that waiting for so long was the guidance of the Sea God.

So, the Sea God helping her break the strangeness between her and Qin Jian, and finding a way to make them hold hands, was not such an unacceptable thing.

Although it was truly strange that believing in the Sea God had this benefit, he wasn't the God of Cupid, was he...

"Is this Sea God afraid that you won't develop feelings for Poseixi? He actually provided this kind of assistance..."

Na'er's voice sounded in his mind.

Qin Jian regained his focus: "Na'er, I feel that the Sea God isn't worried that I won't develop feelings for Poseixi; after all, even without his assist, I would do it myself. I suspect he can't wait anymore, which is why he is impatiently accelerating this process."

"Can't wait?"

Na'er seemed to frown: "What can't he wait for? Is he looking forward to his daughter's choice in this lifetime, or does he hope the God Trial on you ends quickly?"

Qin Jian pondered for a moment and said: "Both are possible."

"Then what do you plan to do?" Na'er asked.

Qin Jian smiled silently: "What else can I do? Soldiers come, block with a general; water comes, cover with earth. Let's wait for them to show their true colors."

"However, regarding this final trial, I cannot be impatient," he thought for a moment and said: "He who travels one hundred miles only considers ninety as half the journey. I must treat it as if I have only completed half to take this final step, leaving more time to accumulate strength."

"That's true. Since the Sea God is behind the scenes worrying for you, and that Poseixi is the High Priest of Sea God Island, presumably she will stick to you under the Sea God's guidance..."

Na'er said softly: "Then you should drag it out for a while. What is certain now is that as long as you haven't become a god, no god will make a move against you in the short term. So let's take this time to get along and strive to truly use our Fusion on the battlefield."

Qin Jian nodded: "I also want to settle down. This final hurdle is definitely not easy to pass. It just so happens that the environment here is quite good, like a paradise, very suitable for peaceful cultivation and tempering."

The two finished exchanging opinions in their minds, and externally, Poseixi had also returned to her normal expression.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, as if she found it very interesting, yet her temperament remained calm and gentle.

Unlike the high and mighty Sea God Douluo, she instead gave people the feeling of an older sister.

This was not someone's illusion, but because Poseixi had restrained the aura of a Limit Douluo on her body, only revealing the calmness and gentleness she had accumulated over decades.

"Little girl, how do you plan to persuade me?" She looked at Ning Rongrong and smiled.

"Hmm..."

Ning Rongrong pouted and muttered while turning her head: "I want to persuade you to never live with Brother Jian."

Everyone: "..."

"Then you will never be able to complete this first trial," Poseixi said unhurriedly, looking at her with a very gentle expression: "He brought you here to help you improve your strength as quickly as possible, right? If you can't even pass the first trial, wouldn't that be letting down his intentions?"

Ning Rongrong looked at her in confusion: "Why does it feel like you are also looking forward to it?"

Everyone looked at Poseixi.

Who knew that Poseixi would raise her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and laugh softly: "I just suddenly find it very interesting. Before this, I had sat alone in the Sea God Hall for ten long years."

"Sat alone for ten years?!"

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in surprise: "Don't you find it boring? Isn't there anything else to do?"

"No," Poseixi glanced at Qin Jian indifferently: "My strength reached its peak decades ago. The shackles cannot be broken, so I could not move an inch further. Besides, waiting is inherently such a dull thing."

Ning Rongrong immediately said: "Then you should just live with Brother Jian. Having one more person is definitely less lonely."

She knew Qin Jian's purpose for coming here, so naturally, she wouldn't deliberately go against him.

Poseixi was noncommittal and turned to ask Xiao Wu: "What about you, little girl? Letting me accept him living in the Sea God Hall can still be called relieving loneliness, but holding hands... what kind of reason do you plan to give me?"

"I think," Xiao Wu tilted her head, her voice sweet and lovely: "As long as you try the feeling of holding hands, you will enjoy it."

"The feeling of holding hands?"

Poseixi was noncommittal: "That is something only you young men and women would feel moved by."

"That's not true, Grandma High Priest..."

Xiao Wu shook her head, looking innocent: "Brother said that intimacy between people is the thing in this world that is hardest to give up, and holding hands is the first step of an intimate relationship."

"Grandma High Priest..."

Although from the age after transforming, this title was not a problem.

But under the Sea God's assessment, when there was inexplicably a bit of ambiguity, this "Grandma" made Poseixi wish she could directly strike Xiao Wu on the forehead with her Scepter!

Ning Rongrong quietly gave Xiao Wu a thumbs up.

Xiao Wu blinked and smiled.

"Grandma High Priest, let me tell you, many things can only be known if you try them, to see if you like that kind of life and feeling..."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu surrounded Poseixi from left and right: "Whether it's living together or holding hands, you can try them..."

While they were besieging Poseixi, on the other side, Xiaobai was whispering to the Mermaid Princess.

"Hey, Little Fish, do you think the High Priest will agree?" Xiaobai giggled.

She didn't mind the chaos, and she was watching happily anyway.

"How could she agree? Don't you know about the High Priest's bitter cultivation for nearly a hundred years? Besides staying in the Sea God Hall, she only made a move once during the challenge from Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. How could she do such a boring thing?" The Mermaid Princess shook her head without hesitation.

"I don't think so..."

Xiaobai draped her arm over her bare shoulder and leaned in: "Think about it, no matter what it is, isn't the thing you haven't touched the most fresh?"

The Mermaid Princess scratched her chin, thoughtful: "You mean the High Priest hasn't experienced it, so she will be curious, and even burst with enthusiasm? But this doesn't match her consistent image..."

"Hey, hey," Xiaobai nudged her shoulder and chuckled, "I remember you used to be so cold and aloof, but after I pinned you to the bed that one time, you ended up acting more eager than anyone else... Mmph..."

The Mermaid Princess hurriedly covered her mouth and said in shame and annoyance, "You're going to be the death of me! Why do you say such reckless things?!"
