Chapter 132 Seahorse City
"Greetings, Lord Su Mo."
Seahorse Douluo quickly bowed slightly to Su Mo, his tone respectful.
"No need for formalities," Su Mo said calmly.
Bo Saixi looked at Seahorse Douluo and continued to instruct, "Seahorse, you will come to the Sea God Temple early tomorrow morning with the other Sacred Pillar Douluos."
"Yes, High Priest, I will be there on time tomorrow," Seahorse Douluo replied respectfully.
"You may leave now," Bo Saixi ordered.
"Yes." Seahorse Douluo bowed again.
He gave Su Mo a deep look, memorizing Su Mo's appearance, and then returned to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar to continue fulfilling his duties.
"Let's go," Bo Saixi said.
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Before long, Su Mo followed Bo Saixi across the Sea Within the Sea and arrived at the depths of Seagod Island.
Before them lay a magnificent city.
Above the city gate were three powerful characters: Seahorse City.
The two walked into the city side by side.
Night had fallen, and the city lights were just coming on, with shops lining the streets brightly lit.
Thanks to the protection of the Sea God, the inhabitants of Seagod Island remained very active at night.
The cries of street vendors and the laughter of pedestrians rose and fell, filling the air with a rich sense of everyday life.
Along the way, the residents of Seagod Island stopped and bowed to Bo Saixi whenever they saw her.
But when they saw Su Mo next to Bo Saixi, their awe was mixed with surprise and curiosity.
After Su Mo and his companion walked away, a low murmur arose, not loud, but loud enough for the two, who were both highly skilled in cultivation, to hear clearly.
"Who is that man? I've never seen him before."
"I don't know him. Do you think... maybe the High Priest is in love? I've never seen the High Priest walking around with a man before."
"Hey, now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible. But to be honest, the High Priest and he really do look like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
Su Mo, who was in the distance, remained calm despite hearing these comments.
Upon hearing these words, Bo Saixi, standing beside him, felt a sudden surge of panic, and her heart began to beat faster.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Mo.
Unexpectedly, Su Mo also turned his head to the side.
The moment their eyes met, a strange atmosphere filled the air.
Bo Saixi quickly looked away.
Su Mo smiled and said, "I heard those people talking clearly just now. From what they said, it seems that you have been all alone all these years?"
Su Mo knew about Bo Saixi's situation, of course; he was just asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Bo Saixi nodded slightly.
Since becoming the High Priestess, she had spent her days in the Sea God Temple, never having any romantic feelings or any romantic interest in any man.
For a long time, she was accompanied only by endless loneliness.
"Oh?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Then, what kind of man would catch your eye?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi paused slightly, then subconsciously fell into deep thought.
What kind of man?
She had never thought about this question.
If she had to answer, it would naturally be someone of extraordinary talent and great strength, someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Even if he wasn't as strong as her, he couldn't be much weaker than her.
Suddenly, Su Mo's image involuntarily appeared in her mind.
A month ago, Su Mo only had level 90 soul power, yet he was able to crush the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
At that time, he was already several levels stronger than her.
Now, Su Mo had already broken through to level 96 and was only one step away from level 97.
His strength must have already reached a level that commanded her respect.
Perhaps only a strong person like Su Mo was worthy of her?
But Bo Saixi forcibly suppressed the thought as soon as it popped into her head.
Su Mo looked to be in his early twenties, while she was almost a hundred years old; the age gap between them was too great.
Moreover, Su Mo was a future god, while she was merely a high priest of a god; her fate had already been sealed.
It should be said that she was simply not worthy of someone like Su Mo.
Thinking of this, Bo Saixi quickly cleared her mind of distractions, regained her composure, and said in a low voice:
"I don't know. I've never thought about these things."
Seeing this, Su Mo stopped asking questions.
The two continued strolling along the street, chatting about other trivial topics.
Most of the time, Su Mo would initiate the conversation, while Bo Saixi would respond softly. Occasionally, she would also speak up to introduce some of the unique features of Seagod Island, and the atmosphere gradually became more and more harmonious.
Along the way, Su Mo would occasionally stop and buy a serving of the local snacks he saw on the street.
For example, some sweet and soft pastries and fresh grilled seafood, each carrying a rich island flavor.
And he always naturally offered the first bite to Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi's daily meals and accommodations were meticulously prepared by her staff, consisting of exquisite and luxurious dishes. She had almost never tried these down-to-earth street snacks.
She wanted to politely decline, maintaining her dignified image as a high priestess, but deep down she didn't want to refuse Su Mo. In the end, she reached out and gently accepted the snack.
She savored it slowly, the unfamiliar taste melting on her tongue. Accompanied by the lively voices of the people around her and the gentle sea breeze, an unprecedented warmth and comfort quietly welled up in her heart.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in nearly a century.
Bo Saixi, who was initially reserved and uncomfortable, gradually relaxed.
As night deepened, the sea breeze brought a chill, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased.
Bo Saixi stopped, looked at Su Mo, and said softly:
"Su Mo, it's getting late. Why don't I arrange a place for you to stay?"
Su Mo smiled and nodded. "Then I'll trouble you. Thank you for spending so much time with me today, which has given me a lot of information about Seagod Island."
"Don't mention it. Come on, I'll take you to your lodgings."
A smile appeared on Bo Saixi's face, and her tone softened unconsciously.
Before long, Bo Saixi brought Su Mo to the City Lord's Mansion in Seahorse City.
With Bo Saixi leading the way, the servants of the City Lord's Mansion dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly arranged a spacious room for Su Mo.
The room was exquisitely decorated and fully furnished, making it very comfortable.
"I'm going back now. If you need anything, just tell the servants in the manor, or you can go directly to the Sea God Temple to find me."
"Okay." Su Mo nodded with a smile. "You should get some rest too."
Bo Saixi gave a soft "hmm" and then turned and left the City Lord's Mansion, returning all the way to her bedchamber behind the Sea God Temple.
Her bedroom was spacious and quiet, furnished with simple furniture and without much elaborate decoration.
She sat in front of the dressing table, slightly lost in thought, recalling the events of the day. Her heart, which had been dormant for decades, was stirred with waves of emotion.
