Chapter 157: Erlong Gets Jealous, Possessing Bo Saixi
Qi Tian sat on the edge of the bed, quietly listening as Liu Erlong poured her heart out, talking about her experiences traveling across the continent with Bibi Dong.
Suddenly, Liu Erlong seemed to remember something.
"Benefactor, have you already met Bibi Dong?" Liu Erlong asked.
Earlier on, she had learned from Bibi Dong that before Qi Tian possessed her, he had already been attached to Bibi Dong.
Qi Tian didn't want to hide anything from her. He nodded and said, "Mm, I've met her."
"When?" Liu Erlong's breathing stalled for a moment.
Although she had traveled with Bibi Dong for many years, for some reason, she had always felt the urge to compete with her.
Perhaps it was because of Qi Tian, or perhaps she simply wanted to outdo the other party—as if, in a previous life, the two of them had been destined rivals.
Her cultivation was inferior to Bibi Dong's. Ever since she found out that Bibi Dong was also searching for Qi Tian, she had wanted to find him before Bibi Dong did.
Yet now, even in this regard, she had still lost to Bibi Dong.
"Not long ago—just a few months back," Qi Tian replied.
Liu Erlong let out a sigh of relief, thinking that a few months shouldn't be enough time for anything too significant to have happened, right?
Still, the fact that she had ended up a step behind irritated her. Now, she had to seize the opportunity in front of her.
Liu Erlong was decisive by nature. She shut the door, then pushed Qi Tian down onto the bed.
"Erlong, what are you doing?"
Qi Tian's heart trembled. How could he not understand what Liu Erlong meant?
But wasn't this moving a bit too fast? After all, today was their very first meeting.
Perhaps Qi Tian had only ever seen Liu Erlong's gentle side and had forgotten that this was her true temperament all along.
"Benefactor, I've wanted to repay your kindness for a long time now. Please… don't reject me, alright?" Liu Erlong lowered her head and looked at Qi Tian.
"Mm."
Qi Tian swallowed hard. He was just an ordinary man—there was no way he could refuse.
Before long, Liu Erlong was already gasping for breath. "Benefactor, why are you so experienced? Could it be… Bibi Dong taught you?"
At the thought that Qi Tian had already been shaped by Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong's dragon-like nature surfaced, and she flipped the situation, taking control.
In this matter, she had to correct Qi Tian properly—she had to make him take on her shape instead.
What was a mere spider martial soul compared to her Fire Dragon martial soul, a body tempered by powerful soul power?
She had lost to Bibi Dong in every other aspect. This was the one area where she had to win it back.
...
Midnight.
Qi Tian hadn't expected Liu Erlong to be this forceful—completely different from the gentleness she usually displayed.
That said, Qi Tian found himself deeply fond of this side of Liu Erlong.
Several "days" later, Qi Tian lay on the bed with Liu Erlong in his arms.
At that moment, Qi Tian's system activated once more. His consciousness crossed oceans and seas, once again possessing a stranger.
By now, he was already accustomed to the system's habit of acting without warning, so he immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"So… who am I this time?"
Qi Tian discovered that he was kneeling before an altar. Upon the altar lay a piece of iron equipment, its tip embedded deep into the platform.
"Where is this place?"
Qi Tian stood up and realized that the room he was in was extremely dark, resembling some kind of temple.
He touched his chest—large and soft, with an excellent feel. Even using both hands, he couldn't quite get a full grip.
"Good, at least I'm human," Qi Tian thought, as he sank his consciousness into his dantian.
The martial soul within his dantian turned out to be a blue humanoid figure, as wave after wave of surging oceanic power poured forth.
"This is… the Sea God martial soul?" Qi Tian froze.
The Spirit Hall had once launched an expedition against Sea God Island and had naturally seen the Sea God martial soul before, even recording it in their archives. Because of that, Qi Tian immediately recognized it.
And among those who possessed a god-bestowed martial soul like the Sea God martial soul, there was only one possible identity—the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi.
At this moment, Bo Saixi's soul was suppressed within her spiritual sea, able only to watch as her body was taken over by Qi Tian.
She attempted to wrest control of her body back, but found that it was utterly ineffective.
'How is this possible? I am a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo. In the entire Douluo Continent, no one should be able to control me.'
'Could it be… Lord Sea God?' Bo Saixi thought to herself.
As a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, the only existence capable of controlling her—aside from divine will—would be a god's soul.
And no other god could descend into the body of the Sea God's High Priestess. Therefore, the presence within her had to be the Sea God, without question.
The moment this thought formed, Bo Saixi's heart surged with excitement.
She had lived on Sea God Island since childhood, never once leaving its sphere of influence due to the lack of divine permission.
Growing up in such an environment, her faith in the Sea God was incomparably devout.
That faith even surpassed her own life.
If one day someone were to be granted the Sea God's Nine Trials, even if she were still attached to the mortal world, she would willingly offer up her life as a sacrifice.
And yet, ever since she became the High Priestess, her Sea God had never once responded to her prayers.
Now that the Sea God's divine soul had actually descended into her body—this destined vessel—how could she not be overwhelmed with emotion?
"But… Why is Lord Sea God touching my chest? Could it be that Lord Sea God intends to take me as His divine consort?" Bo Saixi thought.
As the Sea God's High Priestess, everything she possessed belonged to the Sea God—including her body.
Decades ago, when Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu visited Sea God Island to resolve the conflict between Spirit Hall and Sea God Island, she had developed feelings for the prodigious Tang Chen.
However, constrained by her identity as the Sea God's High Priestess, she had only dared to give subtle hints, never daring to openly cross the line with Tang Chen.
'Thankfully, nothing happened between Tang Chen and me back then. If Lord Sea God were to discover that my body had been defiled, I would only be able to atone with my death!' Bo Saixi let out a sigh of relief.
No matter what, Lord Sea God stood above all else. She could offer everything—her body, her emotions, even her life.
As for Tang Chen, over these past decades, aside from sending a letter through his grandson more than twenty years ago, there had been no further news of him.
The few days they spent together were insignificant compared to her long lifespan.
As such, she never placed Tang Chen too heavily in her heart—there was only a trace of lingering regret.
If she could see Tang Chen once more, that regret would be resolved.
Perhaps upon seeing him again, she would realize that what she had liked was not Tang Chen himself, but merely the feeling of that first encounter.
After all, for someone trapped on Sea God Island, the outside world represented yearning and longing.
Casting aside her wandering thoughts, Bo Saixi softly called out, "Lord Sea God… is that you?"
Qi Tian was in the middle of examining Bo Saixi's body, puzzled as to why she had not made any movement.
Logically speaking, a rank ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo should have noticed her body being controlled.
Unless, like the Ice Empress before, she had fallen into a deep slumber due to cultivation.
At that moment, Qi Tian suddenly heard Bo Saixi's reverent call and was taken aback.
'What? She's calling me Lord Sea God?'
'Did she mistake me for the Sea God?' Qi Tian thought.
After some consideration, Qi Tian chose not to respond.
He couldn't control the Seagod's Light and couldn't even leave Sea God Island. If he impersonated the Sea God, he would easily be exposed.
