There was nothing to be done in that moment. This was not because everyone had suddenly become smarter or found a new way to solve their problems. It was simply because they did not know anyone else on Sea God Island.
They had only ever heard of the legendary Bo Saixi. Since Bo Saixi was the only person they knew from that mysterious place, there were no other suspicious people to talk about. It was impossible for them not to pinpoint her accurately when the topic of the ocean came up.
Su Yan sent a message to the group. Well, Senior, do you want to change your name before we keep going? If you do not want to change it, I will just start talking now.
Dugu Yan, using her name Yanzi is not a Swallow, replied quickly. It is all the same to me whether I change it or not. Either way, we are just gossiping right in front of the person we are talking about. That is where the thrill comes from!
Far away on Sea God Island, the real Bo Saixi was truly fuming at this moment. She looked at the screen of the group chat with a look of pure anger. She thought to herself that this was simply too much.
Where was the group member friendship that everyone was showing just a moment ago? When everyone was comforting Ah Yin, they all seemed so kind and supportive.
Where did all of that kindness go now? Now that it was her turn to be the topic of conversation, they all seemed eagerly seeking excitement at her expense. She wondered if they could even be human for acting this way.
However, this was partly Bo Saixi's own fault. She had not eaten any less of other people's gossip since she joined the group, had she? She had enjoyed watching the drama of others, so now the drama had come to her.
Group Member Number Thirteen, which was still Bo Saixi's temporary name, sent a message. Not me. You just keep talking about yourself and leave me out of it.
Su Yan ignored her protest and continued. This next part involves Sea God Island, so it definitely cannot avoid Bo Saixi. She is the center of everything there.
Su Yan began to type out a formal introduction. Bo Saixi is a legendary woman. She is a Level 99 Peak Douluo, also known as a Titled Douluo with the title Sea God. She is the High Priestess and the official spokesperson for the Sea God on Sea God Island. People call her the Invincible of the Ocean. She is hailed as a human who is infinitely close to becoming a god.
Then, Su Yan added another line to summarize his thoughts. To put it simply, Bo Saixi is an old maid who is over a hundred years old. She is also absolutely a genius.
The chat group went silent for a second before everyone started sending question marks.
Ning Rongrong, using the name Seven Treasures Little Princess, was the first to speak. Ah, this is a bit much. Did you just call her an old maid?
Dugu Yan laughed in the chat. Gossip, gossip, and more gossip! That was another critical hit right at the start of the conversation!
Bibi Dong joined in with a simple 666 to show her amusement at Su Yan's boldness.
Ah Yin, who had been the focus of the chat earlier, sent a message. I originally thought Erlong and Yuehua were the most courageous people here, but I did not expect someone to be even more brave than them. Su Yan, whose subordinate are you exactly? You really say whatever you want.
Tang Yuehua replied to her. Ah Yin, have you been corrupted by this group already? You used to be so polite.
Liu Erlong added her own comment. Ah Yin, if you really cannot handle the chaos in this group, why don't you just go back to being a plant and die for a little while longer? It might be more peaceful for you.
Oscar, using the name I Am an Orphan, asked a serious question. Did Senior Bo Saixi suffer from a very serious emotional trauma in the past?
Zhu Zhuqing, known as Cat in the Shadows, followed up on that thought. It seems very likely. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a woman who is over a hundred years old to have never met a single suitable man, right? There must be a reason she is still single.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi truly could not hold her anger in any longer. She felt like she was going to explode. Just because she did not admit who she was right away, Su Yan had immediately given her a verbal elbow strike. An old maid over a hundred years old?
Su Yan, Su Yan! She screamed his name in her mind. Can you, you little rascal, even speak like a normal human being? If you are going to be like this, why don't you come to Sea God Island right now? If you dare to step foot on my island, I will make sure you know how terrifying the wrath of a hundred-year-old woman can truly be!
Bo Saixi was so angry that she felt like she could kill someone. She knew she had to change her name now. There was no point in hiding anymore if they were going to talk about her like this.
The notification popped up in the group: Group Member Number Thirteen changed their name to Bo Saixi.
Everyone sent more question marks.
Liu Erlong teased her. See, you got impatient again, didn't you? You couldn't stay hidden for long.
The user known as Group Member Number Nine commented. This is a familiar taste. People always end up revealing themselves when Su Yan starts talking.
Dugu Yan laughed loudly. Hahaha! As I expected, this is the correct way to open a group chat. We gossip in front of the person involved, again and again. It never gets old.
Inside the carriage where Su Yan was traveling, Dugu Yan was overjoyed. She was leaning into Su Yan's arms and giggling at the chaos he had caused. Su Yan felt a little annoyed by her moving around so much. He reached out and pinched her face gently to get her to stop. He told her to stop squirming because if she kept it up, he would get angry.
Su Yan then sent another message to the group. Senior, look at you. You are just like Erlong and Ah Yin. You also like to put on this act of being a mysterious stranger. If you had just said you were in the group earlier, I would not have been so impolite to you!
Bo Saixi replied with only two words. Shut up!
She followed it up quickly. Don't think I do not know that you are doing this on purpose. Now that I have changed my name, I am coming clean. I am Bo Saixi. You are all happy now that you have forced me out, aren't you?
Bibi Dong sent a message saying Hahaha! because she found the situation very funny.
Tang Yuehua was more polite. Hello, Senior Bo Saixi. It is an honor to meet you.
Then everyone else joined in to welcome her. Welcome, Senior Bo Saixi, to our loving and killing family chat group.
Bo Saixi gritted her teeth in anger as she read the messages. These little rascals, every single one of them was a headache. She realized there truly was not a single good or normal person in this entire group.
Su Yan decided to be a bit nicer now. Senior Bo Saixi, please allow me to rephrase my earlier words.
He sent a new description. Bo Saixi is a legendary woman who dedicated her entire life to the sea. She has remained pure for a hundred years. She silently sacrificed her own happiness to protect the entire Sea God Island. By doing that, she also protected the entire ocean and everyone who lives near it.
Oscar replied. As expected of you, Su Yan! You can change your tone so fast.
Ning Rongrong added her praise. Brother Su Yan's ability to use words is truly amazing. It is like his linguistic artistry reaches three or four hundred stories high.
Bibi Dong just typed LOL to show she was still laughing.
Su Yan then started to explain the history of the island. Approximately twenty thousand years ago, the various creatures in the ocean were unrestrained. There were endless wars between the different sea spirit beasts and chaos reigned everywhere. Then, the Sea God Poseidon rose to prominence. He conquered one race after another through his own incredible power. He spent his entire life and thousands of years to unify the ocean. He established Sea God Island and was eventually revered as the Sea God by all the races within the ocean.
Su Yan continued the history lesson. The island has seven Sacred Pillars, seven cities, and the Great Sea God Mountain. The Sea God's Light staircase at the peak of the mountain serves as the ground for various assessments. The Sea God Temple itself is guarded by the High Priestess, Bo Saixi. Sea God Island has a very strict rule. Everyone who lives there must undergo an assessment when they turn eighteen years old. Only those who pass the test can stay and serve the Sea God. Those who fail are sent away and can never return. The difficulty of these tests is even higher for Spirit Masters who come from the land.
He then mentioned a historical event. Spirit Hall once dispatched two thousand Spirit Masters to try and conquer Sea God Island. It was a massive force, but they never returned. Even with the help of the Angel Legion, fewer than a hundred people survived the battle. Two Titled Douluo were lost during that failed invasion.
Su Yan finished that thought. As for other small details and things like the Sea God Legacy, I will not talk about them here. If any of you are interested in that, you can just chat with Bo Saixi yourself. She knows more than anyone.
Then he added a warning. Ning Rongrong, whatever you do, do not go there. If you go, you will receive the Sea God's Top Seven Trials. You would eventually have to take over Bo Saixi's position as the High Priestess. Being the High Priestess of Sea God Island is actually a trap.
Ning Rongrong was confused. What do you mean it is a trap?
Bo Saixi was also surprised. Hmm? Are you saying this girl Ning Rongrong could actually complete the Sea God's Top Seven Trials? Are you saying she could really become the new High Priestess?
Zhu Zhuqing asked a question. Senior Bo Saixi, are you perhaps eager to find someone to take your place?
The user Group Member Number Nine pointed something out. Wait a minute, Senior Bo Saixi does not seem to know who Ning Rongrong is yet.
Oscar laughed. Don't even mention Ning Rongrong. If you ask Bo Saixi who Bibi Dong is right now, she probably knows nothing about her except for the things she has read in this group chat.
Dugu Yan laughed as well. Hahaha! That is true!
Bo Saixi was speechless now. She realized this local group of people was truly impolite and strange. She didn't know how to respond to them.
Bibi Dong asked a logical question. Becoming the High Priestess of Sea God Island would make her the new Lord of the Ocean. That sounds like a position of great power. How could that be a trap?
Su Yan explained his reasoning. What is so great about being the High Priestess? If she takes that role, she can never leave Sea God Island. She would be stuck there forever. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Little Princess will soon be renamed the Nine Treasure Little Princess. Her future is bright and she is no worse than any High Priestess.
Ning Rongrong was shocked by his words. Nine Treasures? Are you talking about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? That is supposed to be a myth!
On the other side of the continent, the Shrek group was currently running towards the Star Dou Great Forest. Even though Ning Rongrong was a support Spirit Master, she was moving quite fast. She and Xiao Wu had learned the advanced version of the Nine Yin Manual along with Zhu Zhuqing. Because of this special training, their overall physical strength and speed had significantly improved.
It could be said that Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, along with Dugu Yan and Hu Liena, were very special. Each of them was a rare martial arts genius that you might only see once in ten thousand years. They were already famous as the representative geniuses of this generation on the Douluo Continent. They were moving quickly through the trees, heading toward their next adventure in the Great Forest.
