Chapter 692: Marry Off the High Priest!

"Hum..."

The radiance of the Sea Sacred Pillar lasted for a long time, yet it could not provide an answer for just as long.

From that vibration, the few Title Douluo guarding the sacred pillar could even sense a feeling of grievance, which translated into human language meant: "What does this even mean? We are just unfeeling pillars, we can't comprehend this!"

Hailong Douluo and the others exchanged glances, feeling both amused and annoyed: "What exactly did they say to make the Sea Sacred Pillar unable to judge?"

"What should we do in this situation? Are we supposed to let them fail?" said Haihuan Douluo.

The Mermaid Princess rolled her eyes, then suddenly her eyes lit up: "I have a way!"

"What way?" Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Distribute their answers to everyone's hearts through the Sea Maiden Holy Pillar and let them choose," she chuckled: "My greatest ability as the Mermaid Princess is reading people's hearts!"

No sooner said than done, she sensed the Sea Sacred Pillar without hesitation and scattered that sky-filling radiance down, letting it fall upon the top of everyone's heads.

Soon, they knew the current situation, and one by one, they made their choices in their minds.

There were only two choices: compatible, or not compatible.

"Compatible, my foot!"

Xiao Wu chose not compatible without hesitation.

Ning Rongrong, of course, chose the same as her.

But excluding the two of them, the others were much more impartial.

Because this option was not difficult to choose, it did not involve too much privacy, it was just their expectations and wishes regarding feelings; in this case, what Qin Jian and Poseixi said was almost exactly the same!

"Hum hum hum hum hum..."

As more and more people made their choices, the pillar of light began to change from white to yellow, and then to purple.

"Five or six out of ten people have already chosen compatible!"

The Mermaid Princess said excitedly: "Hee hee, am I marrying off the High Priest?"

"Hum hum hum..."

The pillar of light turned black, and then slowly turned red!

"Wow!"

Everyone had finished their choices and had also seen this red light shining in the night sky at this moment.

"So amazing!"

The Mermaid Princess exclaimed: "It seems that not only is everyone's approval rating extremely high, but the Sea Sacred Pillar's own judgment is also particularly high, so combined, they achieved a red rating."

"This is a height never reached by the Sacrificial God Festival, right?"

Xiaobai chuckled: "I didn't expect our High Priest herself to reach it."

The crowd discussed it spiritedly.

At the very center, Qin Jian and Poseixi opened their eyes together and looked at each other at the same time.

Qin Jian smiled slightly: "I didn't expect our compatibility to be so high."

Poseixi glanced at the Mermaid Princess with slight helplessness: "This counts as cheating; if it relied solely on the Sea Sacred Pillar's judgment, perhaps there wouldn't be such high compatibility."

"Isn't that even better?"

Qin Jian gently took Poseixi's hand and said: "Compared to getting the approval of the Sea Sacred Pillar, isn't it better to get the approval of so many people?"

Poseixi looked around, seeing those pairs of curious and envious eyes, and ripples of joy spread in the depths of her eyes: "This can also be considered... receiving the blessings of the subjects, right?"

"Then do you want to announce the news?" Qin Jian smiled.

"No!"

Poseixi shook her head quickly: "I don't want to become their after-dinner conversation and amusement."

Qin Jian nodded indifferently: "Then let's go, Hainv Douluo and Xiaobai and the others are over there, don't let them stir up any more trouble."

As the two spoke, they withdrew their hands together.

"Congratulations to the High Priest for finding a desirable husband!"

Just at this moment, Xiaobai let out a howl, almost making Poseixi die on the spot.

"Ah... yes! Congratulations to the High Priest for finding a desirable husband!"

The Mermaid Princess was, of course, also a little expert at causing trouble, immediately shouting her blessings and incidentally spreading the sound throughout Sea God Island.

Now it was done; everyone knew who the person who had just received the red light pillar blessing was.

Poseixi saw the crowd around her falling like wheat waves; her face first turned dark, then slowly flushed with a red glow.

Because the blessings soon came from all directions, echoing throughout the entire Sea God Island: "Congratulations to the High Priest for finding a desirable husband!"

Although most people had somewhat strange expressions, there was no rule that the High Priest had to be alone for the rest of her life, and since this day was Valentine's Day, announcing this matter did not seem too abrupt.

"This is also good; from now on, we can walk on Sea God Island openly and accept everyone's blessings."

Qin Jian was not unhappy; being able to receive blessings was a happy thing in itself.

All he cared about were the sour, jealous looks from the two little sprites on the other side.

Poseixi's expression changed again and again, her thoughts shifting from wanting to mince the Mermaid Princess and Xiaobai into a thousand pieces to, slowly, a touch of secret joy.

She quickly determined what she should do.

"Citizens of Sea God Island..."

She suddenly took Qin Jian's hand, pulling him up into the high sky together, flying into everyone's sight.

"He..."

Glancing slightly at Qin Jian, the High Priest's cheeks flushed slightly.

These Spirit Masters of Sea God Island had never seen their High Priest like this; many of them had never even seen her, having grown up listening to legends, and their impression of her in their hearts was just a symbol, only turning into a living person at this moment.

"She is so beautiful..."

Xiao Wu looked up, feeling sour in her heart, yet she had to admit this point.

"Her temperament is too enchanting, it's easy for people to get intoxicated," Ning Rongrong pouted, "No wonder the last one would be her... except for being a bit older."

Xiao Wu glanced at her: "I feel like you're implying something about me."

"Heh."

Ning Rongrong was noncommittal.

In the sky.

Poseixi took a light breath, calming her awkward mood, before continuing: "He is the Soul Beast King..."

"Whoa."

A low murmur of commotion spread from the ground.

Poseixi ignored it and continued: "Three months ago, he and I together slew the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, established the rules for Sea Spirit Masters and Sea Soul Beasts, and eliminated most of the conflict between the two races..."

"From now on, Sea Soul Beasts will not attack us humans at will, and the Soul Rings that Sea Spirit Masters need will also have intelligence available to choose from..."

"It can be said that he, with his own strength, has improved our overall living environment..."

The commotion slowly subsided, and everyone's gaze toward Qin Jian began to change, from wariness to the awe and admiration for a king.

Because he had truly and tangibly brought them benefits!

"At the same time..."

Poseixi took a deep breath, then with a slightly reddened face, said softly: "At the same time, he is the one I have been waiting for, the one I have chosen, and the person to whom I wish to entrust my life..."

She turned her head, her gaze flowing like water over Qin Jian's cheeks: "Therefore, I no longer wish to be the High Priest."

"Wh-what?!"

The entire Sea God Island was once again drowned in a clamor, and even Hailong Douluo and the others exclaimed in shock.

But Poseixi only looked at Qin Jian, the expectation hidden deep in her eyes moving him.

"I no longer wish to be the High Priest..."

She slowly delivered herself into Qin Jian's embrace.

"I want to... as a woman..."

"Finally, properly..."

"Live once..."
