Chapter 290. Poseidon: Tang Chen is a piece of trash.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong, Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong, A Yin, Luo Ningshui, and the other women who had been harmed by Qian Xunji couldn't help but feel a wave of exasperation.
"You, Qian Xunji, aren't you that kind of person?" Having seen shameless people before, Poseidon's beautiful face twitched slightly upon hearing Qian Xunji's words.
Who was she, Poseidon? Back then, two Limit Douluos were head over heels in love with her. Now, she had lowered herself to propose to a young man, only to be rejected?!
But a rejection was good, a good rejection indeed.
She had already lowered herself to propose to Qian Xunji, and now that she had been rejected, she no longer needed to pretend with him. Afterwards, she could go to the Haotian Sect to catch up with Tang Chen, explain her predicament, and try to rekindle their relationship someday.
Thinking this, Poseidon silently contacted the Sea God: "Lord Sea God, Qian Xunji has rejected me. Do you think we can end this trial now?"
Xiao Dongzi: "Rejected? Won't you take the initiative to pursue him?"
"Pursue?"
Xiao Dongzi: "A man pursuing a woman is like climbing mountains, a woman pursuing a man is like piercing a thin veil. Don't you know how to use your charm to pursue him?"
"I...I..."
Did she mean that? So, even though Qian Xunji rejected her, she had to swallow her pride and pursue him?
"You don't know how to pursue him?" Xiao Dongzi asked.
"Lord Sea God, I really don't know how," Poseidon said.
She was always the one being pursued; she had never pursued anyone before.
"Alright, I'll teach you," Xiao Dongzi replied.
Poseidon looked at him strangely, then blushed, looking at Qian Xunji with resistance. After a long while, she said with difficulty:
"I don't like your father, and our relationship is innocent." This was sincere; Poseidon said it without any pressure.
Someone's fragile heart shattered instantly!
"I...I don't think age is a problem. As the saying goes, 'A woman three years older brings wealth, a woman thirty years older brings power.' If you...if you take me, then Seagod Island and all the Soul Masters on it will be your subjects."
"I know you already have a wife and daughter, but I don't mind. As long as...as long as I can be by your side as a concubine, I'll be content." Poseidon said through gritted teeth.
After saying this, Poseidon almost collapsed. She had never been so humble before.
Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu—weren't they both treating her as their true love, their only one?
Now, for the sake of Seagod, Poseidon had to lower herself. She felt like a shameless lapdog, just like Qian Daoliu had been.
But she didn't like Qian Xunji at all; she had absolutely no feelings for him.
How shameless, Poseidon, how shameless! Poseidon repeatedly questioned herself in her heart.
Poseidon kept repeating this to herself.
Losing love, losing so much, losing faith, losing everything!
"Really? You're willing to lead the soul masters of Seagod Island to submit to the Spirit Hall?" Qian Xunji's eyes lit up.
"As long as... as long as you want me," Poseidon said bitterly.
"Alright, considering Seagod Island's willingness to submit, I'll reluctantly accept you."
"Xixi—" Tang Chen's eyes reddened, and he stood up angrily, panting heavily.
"Calm down, Grandpa, you must calm down," Tang Xiao and Tang Hao quickly stood up to comfort him.
Tang San said, "Great-grandfather, I believe Senior Poseidon is definitely not that kind of person. You must be rational."
"Damn it, how am I supposed to be rational? How am I supposed to stay calm? Xixi, she... she's like this!" Tang Chen said indignantly. It felt like you'd been chasing after your goddess for ages, only to find out she was some rich kid's lapdog.
But he was clearly Xixi's crush, and she chose him! Why? Why is this happening?
Tang San thought of a possibility and quickly said, "Great-Grandpa, think about it carefully. These soul tools were sold by the Spirit Hall. The information we received all came from the Spirit Hall. I think Senior Poseidon isn't that kind of person. The Spirit Hall must have edited these videos to both slander Senior Poseidon and humiliate you."
Tang Hao said, "Xiao San is right. The Spirit Hall made us watch these live streams. We can't rule out that the Spirit Hall edited these videos to deliberately humiliate us."
Hearing Tang San's speculation, Tang Chen calmed down. Then, his eyes reddened, and he roared at the detestable figure of Qian Xunji on the screen, panting heavily:
"You thief, villain, traitor, villain! You brat, Qian Xunji, how dare you humiliate me and Poseidon like this! I, Tang Chen, will never let you go!" Tang Chen roared angrily!
Qian Xunji agreed, and Poseidon breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At this moment, the curtain opened, and the group of reporters couldn't wait any longer.
"Your Majesty, Sea God Douluo, when did you fall in love with His Holiness the Pope?"
"Your Majesty, Sea God, do you really like men younger than you?"
"Your Majesty, Sea God, are you truly in love with the Pope of the Spirit Hall?"
Poseidon looked at him strangely. Just as she was about to use her soul power to stun these ignorant reporters, Xiao Dongzi's voice drifted into Poseidon's ears: "Answer these reporters' questions seriously, answer as I say."
So, Poseidon answered the reporters' questions one by one.
When a reporter asked, 'Your Majesty, in your heart, who is more outstanding, Tang Chen or Qian Daoliu?' the reporter inquired.
When this question was asked, both Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu pricked up their ears to listen.
Poseidon naturally believed that Tang Chen was more outstanding than Qian Daoliu, but just as she was about to say this, the Sea God's voice softly entered her ears.
'No, you think Qian Daoliu is more outstanding than Tang Chen.'
Poseidon's expression changed slightly, and she thought to herself, 'My Lord Sea God, but I think Tang Chen is more outstanding than Qian Daoliu.'
'No, you shouldn't think that way. Remember, this is a test for Tang Chen, understand?' the Sea God said.
Poseidon: '…'"
"Use every word you can muster to praise Qian Daoliu, and at the same time, utterly denigrate Tang Chen. If you don't do this, then you're no longer my worshipper, the Sea God."
Losing love, losing so much, losing faith, losing everything.
Poseidon said, "I think Qian Daoliu is far superior to Tang Chen. Qian Daoliu is sincere, keeps his promises, possesses chivalry, and is gentle and considerate towards women."
"Compared to him, Tang Chen is utter trash."
After spouting a string of derogatory remarks about Tang Chen, Poseidon thought painfully, "Brother Chen, this is absolutely not my true opinion of you. Please don't misunderstand."
Little did Poseidon know, Tang Chen was watching the live stream.
His blood pressure immediately spiked, but fortunately, Tang San comforted him, reminding him that this might be a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall, which calmed Tang Chen down considerably.
On the other side, Qian Daoliu, who had been fawning over Poseidon for so many years, suddenly fell into a state of self-pity and self-doubt.
Great, so that's how Poseidon sees me?
But wait, Poseidon is clearly very distant from me, how could this be?
The reporter then asked, "I remember back then, when Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were courting you, you said you would marry whoever could become a god. Qian Daoliu was not destined for godhood, so doesn't that mean you rejected him and chose Tang Chen?"
Poseidon heard the reporter's question; it wasn't wrong. She had indeed chosen Tang Chen and rejected Qian Daoliu back then. Who would have thought Tang Chen was such a blockhead, actually believing it and even saying he wouldn't return until he became a god?
Thinking of this, Poseidon couldn't help but sigh. Following the Sea God's instructions, Poseidon explained, "It's like this. Qian Daoliu is an offering of the Angel God, so he's ineligible for the path to godhood. I rejected him, and that was correct. But Tang Chen—"
Poseidon continued, "I didn't think he had any hope of becoming a god either, yet he actually believed it and disappeared, leaving behind the words, 'I won't return until I become a god.' Did he really think that if he became a god, I would choose him? When he said that, I rejected them. I don't like men older than me."
At this moment, Tang Chen remained completely unmoved by what Poseidon said on the light screen.
He was certain of one thing: the Spirit Hall had tampered with this soul tool, and they were deliberately provoking him.
Tang Chen laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, Hao'er, Xiao'er, and Xiao San, the Spirit Hall only knows how to use such dirty tricks to sow discord between me and Xixi."
"They don't know how deep the bond between Xixi and me is. They think they can sow discord like this? Dream on! This won't just prevent our Clear Sky Sect from parting ways with Seagod Island; on the contrary, it will unite us closely. The Spirit Hall will face an unprecedented anti-Spirit Hall alliance."
"Great-grandfather's insight is brilliant," Tang San congratulated.
"Grandfather's insight is brilliant," Tang Hao and Tang Xiao also congratulated.
However, the joy of Tang Chen's three generations didn't last long before another unacceptable piece of news arrived: the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island had finalized a marriage alliance. Ten days later, Qian Xunji would take Poseidon of Seagod Island as a concubine, and Seagod Island would be brought under the rule of the Spirit Hall.
If the previous live broadcast could be considered a deliberate attempt by the Spirit Hall to humiliate Tang Chen, this news made Tang Chen doubt its accuracy.
If this was a fabricated rumor by the Spirit Hall, and Poseidon hadn't gone there, then in ten days, all the lies would be exposed. At that point, it wouldn't be the Clear Sky Sect that would be humiliated, but the Spirit Hall would be disgraced.
The Spirit Hall wouldn't risk its reputation, but Poseidon marrying into the Spirit Hall was something Tang Chen found unacceptable.
After thinking it over, Tang Chen made a decision. He said, "During this time, I need to recuperate properly. In ten days, I'll go to the Spirit Hall to find out the truth."
"Grandpa, I'll go with you," Tang Hao said.
Tang Xiao and Tang San were also excited; they both wanted to see how the invincible Tang Chen would display his power within the Spirit Hall.
"Shocking! The former Sea God Douluo, Poseidon, actually likes someone younger than him!"
"The Clear Sky Sect has become a clown; in the heart of Sea God Douluo Poseidon, Tang Chen is nothing but trash!" "Shocking! Sea God Douluo Poseidon actually begs the Pope of the Spirit Hall to take her as a concubine!"
"Shocking! Sea God Island will be given to the Spirit Hall as dowry! "
When Poseidon saw so many newspapers published by the Spirit Hall, she was so angry that she tore them to shreds on the spot. She dared not hate the Sea God, but she harbored extreme resentment towards Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall.
Originally, she wanted to reach an agreement with Qian Xunji to live a fake married life for a period of time. After enduring the Sea God's test, she would leave Qian Xunji and go to the Clear Sky Sect to seek her true love. However, Qian Xunji wanted the whole world to know that Poseidon had come to the Spirit Hall to propose marriage.
Her pride, her dignity, were deeply trampled upon at this moment.
News of the Spirit Hall spread throughout the continent, and Tang Chen would inevitably find out sooner or later.
But Poseidon could only endure it!
"Qian Xunji, you thief! After the Sea God's trial is over, I'll kill you first, and then I'll bring your head to Brother Chen to beg for forgiveness," Poseidon said through gritted teeth.
While Qian Xunji was presiding over the Spirit Hall's wedding ceremony, Qian Daoliu's voice drifted over.
"Ji'er, come here for a moment," Qian Daoliu said.
Qian Xunji flashed to the front of the Hall of Offerings, only to see Qian Daoliu staring at him with sharp eyes.
"Tell me, is this a surprise you gave me and Tang Chen?"
Qian Xunji shrugged and said, "Who knows? I'm totally baffled. Senior Sea God Douluo suddenly came to my door, proposed to me, and even gave me the entire Sea God Island as dowry. What could I do? Of course, I accepted it."
"Do you think I'm blind? Although I don't know what changes have happened to you over the years, you still have some secrets. Tell me, have you gotten some leverage over Poseidon?" Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xunji scrutinizingly.
"Old man, then tell me how I've got leverage over Poseidon?" Qian Xunji said defiantly.
"You, if I knew, why would I have come to you?" Qian Daoliu said angrily.
"So, old man, what do you mean by bringing this up?" Qian Xunji asked.
"How could I have given birth to such a brat like you? I should have just shot you against the wall! Don't you know I've been chasing Poseidon for so long, and I haven't even held her hand! You brat, you brat!" Qian Daoliu said, on the verge of tears.
"Tang Chen got Xixi's heart, you got Xixi's heart, and I got nothing! Can't you? Can't you?"
"Oh~" Qian Xunji suddenly realized, "So, you want me to give you the opportunity, right?"
Qian Xunji blushed and said, "You brat, did you have to be so direct?"
