Chapter 662: What Do You Intend to Do With Me

"The person you have been waiting for all this time..."

Qin Jian looked earnestly into her eyes, and at his own reflection shimmering within them: "Who are you waiting for?"

Poseixi opened her mouth, but then closed it, feeling too embarrassed to speak.

She turned her eyes away from his gaze and spoke softly: "It is you..."

Thump.

It was as if a pebble had fallen into the lake of his heart, sending ripples spreading outward.

"You are... waiting for me?"

Qin Jian did not know what expression to wear; he simply looked up and asked in a daze: "Why?"

"I..."

Poseixi felt the temperature on her face rising quietly. She hurriedly took a deep breath to calm her state of mind, then said with a faint smile: "Because Lord Sea God told me that the person I am destined by divine decree to meet is you."

Qin Jian: "......"

He felt both fortunate and deeply powerless because of this: "To you, are the Sea God's words truly like a creed, one you would never doubt for your entire life?"

"Why would I doubt them?"

Poseixi looked up at him, saying with some surprise: "All the strength I possess was bestowed upon me by Lord Sea God, and my lofty status on Sea God Island was also gained because of this... It can be said that from the moment I received the Top Eight Trials, my life became inseparable from my faith in Lord Sea God."

"Not everyone can receive the Top Eight Trials, and not everyone can cultivate to a 99 level Limit Douluo as quickly as you..."

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "Your own natural talent is the key factor in being chosen. I believe that even without the Sea God's help, you would still have been able to cultivate to this realm on your own."

Poseixi's gentle gaze swept across Qin Jian's face: "But that would have been very hard, wouldn't it?"

"It would also have been very brilliant..."

Qin Jian sighed with regret: "It would still be better than wasting your whole life in the Sea God Hall."

Ordinary people, when their faith is touched upon, often react like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, defending and counterattacking.

But a powerhouse like Poseixi remained calm as water; even if there were a trace of confusion, it would be suppressed once more by her firm conviction.

"In this life, I have not lived in vain..."

She curved her lips into a faint smile: "Apart from the yearning from the bottom of my heart, the yearning for that intimate emotion, I have already obtained everything else, including the satisfaction and peace that come from faith."

"That is also true."

Qin Jian did not continue to argue with her about such matters, because it was something that could not be clearly explained.

As when one drinks water, only the drinker knows if it is cold or warm; he was not Poseixi, so how could he fully understand the feelings in her heart?

If he had not learned that she had listened to the Sea God's guidance and waited for him for decades, he would not even have questioned this faith.

Because it was never about right or wrong, but simply each person's own choice.

"Let's not talk about this..."

Qin Jian looked at the majestic Sea God Statue in the hall and asked curiously: "What exactly did the Sea God say to you? Why were you willing to wait so long? And why were you certain that the person was me?"

Poseixi's lips moved, and she was just about to speak.

"Hum hum."

But the Sea God Statue suddenly lit up, flickered a few times, and then went dark again.

During this process, Poseixi's expression appeared very devout.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sea God does not allow me to say these things," she said, turning back with a hint of apology.

Qin Jian frowned: "Can he watch this place at any time?"

Poseixi nodded: "Because the divine statue is here, Lord Sea God's Divine Sense can descend at any time."

To be monitored even while dating? What kind of human suffering is this...

"Na'er, do we have a way to block the Sea God's Divine Sense detection?" Qin Jian asked in his mind.

Na'er pondered for a moment: "It is possible, but the Sea God will also notice that his Divine Sense has been isolated. He will discover that this is not power you should possess, and then you will be exposed."

"Hmm, if we don't isolate it, then can we deceive it?" Qin Jian said again.

Na'er thought again, then said: "Just use my Spirit power to construct an illusion for you. It is only a strand of Divine Sense; it shouldn't be a problem."

"I just love hearing my Na'er speak so confidently!"

Qin Jian chuckled, and suddenly, Spirit power distorted the light around him.

"Hum!"

Poseixi had just sensed something when she saw an illusory, transparent ring of light expand outward, instantly covering the entire hall and this lonely cliff of the Sea within the Sea.

"You... what did you do?"

She tried to perceive the influence Qin Jian had exerted on the surroundings, but she did not detect any abnormalities.

Na'er's methods naturally would not leave any traces; those below God Level like Poseixi could not detect them.

However, Qin Jian did not intend to hide it from her: "I have isolated the Sea God's Divine Sense, at least making his perception ineffective within the scope of this hall and the lonely cliff outside. As for the area of the Seven Sacred Pillars further out, that remains real."

After all, since he intended to establish an intimate relationship, he wanted to be on the same side as Poseixi, rather than having Poseixi and the Sea God on the same side.

Faith can safeguard one's life, but faith must not override one's life.

"Isolated... Divine Sense?"

Poseixi's eyes trembled, unable to hide her shock: "You can actually reach such a level?"

"This is nothing, after all, it was just a strand of Divine Sense," Qin Jian shrugged.

"Nothing..." Poseixi took a deep breath: "You are truly too humble."

"You flatter me, it's just so-so, just a basic operation."

Qin Jian waved his hand and chuckled.

He had originally thought that Poseixi would oppose this approach of his.

Who would have thought that she would just look at the divine statue twice more, and a look of relief would suddenly appear on her lips: "This is also good."

"Don't you think I've blasphemed the deity you worship?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

Poseixi pursed her lips and smiled: "Lord Sea God has been too active lately, but between you and me, it is my own business after all, and I don't want to be watched all the time..."

This made Qin Jian feel very comfortable.

He certainly didn't want Poseixi to be hoodwinked by the Sea God for the rest of her life.

Faith can exist, but it must be a faith one chooses for oneself, not something one is bound by.

"Now, only you and I are left on this entire temple island," he looked at Poseixi's elegant face: "What do you plan to do with me?"

"Do what..."

This really stumped Poseixi.

"I... also don't know what would be good to do..." she said hesitantly.

Qin Jian felt quite amused: "You waited for me for so long, yet you don't know what to do once I've arrived?"

"It's been too long..."

She pointed to the thick meditation cushion in front: "I have waited here for too, too long, so long that I no longer know how to get along with others."

"I see..."

Qin Jian understood.

No matter who it is, after not interacting with people for decades, they probably wouldn't know what to do either, right?

That she could still act so normal, without being mentally twisted or having social anxiety, was already quite remarkable.

"How about this, let's just do as you usually do," Qin Jian suggested: "Whatever you find relaxing, just do that."

"What I find relaxing?"

Poseixi thought about it seriously, and the next moment, it was as if a lightbulb lit up over her head: "Then let's sit in meditation!"

Qin Jian: "???"
