On Sea God Island, the air was usually filled with a sense of divine peace, but today that peace was shattered. Bo Saixi was originally able to watch the group chat calmly. After all, she felt that what Su Yan said earlier was very real and followed a flawless logic.
She had been impressed by his insight into the world's secrets. However, her calm vanished in an instant when she read his next message. This little bastard suddenly blurted out a sentence that made her blood boil.
Bo Saixi thought to herself that Su Yan was being a little bastard. She wondered if he thought that just because Bibi Dong couldn't reach him, she couldn't either. She was the High Priest of the Sea God, and her reach was long. You're stupid, she thought, and your whole family is stupid too. Bo Saixi felt very angry as she stared at the screen.
She wanted to yell at him through the chat. She wondered if he was actually good at writing poems or if he was just pretending to be cultured. Every time he spoke, he came up with the most ridiculous and insulting names.
She thought about the titles he had used recently. The Blind Douluo Combination was bad enough, but calling Tang Hao the Deceased Wife Douluo was crossing a line. Then there was the Three Idiots of Sea, Land, and Air Combination. She felt like he wasn't even acting like a human being anymore.
Liu Erlong sent a message saying she was dying of laughter. She teased Su Yan, asking if he really thought Bo Saixi couldn't do anything to him. Bibi Dong quickly joined in, telling everyone to just listen to Bo Saixi boast about her power. Tang Yuehua, always the voice of reason, tried to analyze the situation. She noted that based on the current situation, Bo Saixi's strength was mostly in the ocean. She had an additional Spirit Ability to summon the Sea God's power, but besides those advantages, she might not be as powerful as Bibi Dong since the Pope had twin spirits.
Qian Renxue, using her alias, told Bo Saixi not to even think about it. She claimed Bo Saixi couldn't do anything to Su Yan. She estimated that after Su Yan reached the rank of Titled Douluo with nine rings, fighting Bo Saixi at sea wouldn't be a problem at all. Another group member agreed, saying that with Su Yan's current strength, he would definitely be able to defeat Bo Saixi even in her own domain once he reached nine rings.
Back on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi got even angrier when she saw this. She couldn't believe a Transmigrator could actually be this strong or this bold. Dugu Yan posted a laughing sound, saying the most exciting part was about to come.
Su Yan finally replied, telling the Senior not to be in such a hurry since she was already so old. He told her to relax. He claimed that as Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong both knew, he absolutely did not curse people. He said that everything he used was just an adjective to describe the truth.
Bo Saixi snapped back, asking him who he was calling old. Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasures Little Princess, just typed out a long string of laughter. Xiao Wu, under her username Loves Eating Carrots, said she was dying of laughter. She told the group not to be so funny while she was busy running her laps.
Zhu Zhuqing, the Cat in the Shadows, asked how Xiao Wu could even laugh at a time like this. Xiao Wu was confused, but then it hit her. Xiao Wu was instantly dumbfounded. In this group, only she and Ah Yin were not qualified to laugh at Bo Saixi's age because they were both old soul beasts. It was a heartbreaking realization for her.
Meanwhile, in the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue's smile suddenly froze. A look of panic appeared in her eyes as she read between the lines of Su Yan's previous mentions of the three experts. Sacrifice... she thought. Is that what it means? She didn't want the position of the Angel God anymore if it meant losing her family. She told herself she didn't want it. She didn't want her grandpa to sacrifice himself, and she felt she absolutely could not let that happen.
She sent a private message to Su Yan, saying his name and trailing off. Su Yan replied instantly, telling her it was fine. He said they didn't need a mere first-grade Angel God. He promised to use his cheats to support her in the future so they could become their own gods, even stronger gods than the ones that existed now. Qian Renxue saw Su Yan's reply and breathed a huge sigh of relief, feeling like a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.
Bibi Dong spoke up in the main chat, admitting that Su Yan didn't technically curse people. However, she pointed out that Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi were the three strongest experts on the continent. She asked how they could possibly be called three idiots. Liu Erlong jumped to Su Yan's defense, asking Bibi Dong why she was questioning him. She told Bibi Dong that Su Yan was the authority and she should just blindly believe him.
Su Yan told everyone to give Liu Erlong a like for her support. He explained that these three people were just three sacrifices for the God Realm. He asked what was wrong with calling them stupid for following such a path. He teased that their true foolishness was yet to come. Bo Saixi told him he better give her an explanation today, otherwise, the matter wouldn't be over. She was truly fuming. She felt he could call her stupid or anything else, but she couldn't stand being called old again. She felt like they would have to fight to the death over it.
Su Yan tried to soothe her, telling the Senior not to be like that. He said that although he called her an old maid, she was still beautiful. He praised her looks, saying if they only looked at her appearance, she was a rare beauty. He added that her temperament was incomparable to anyone else. He even said that the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, was inferior to her in temperament.
Bibi Dong was shocked by the comparison. Another member laughed, and Ning Rongrong said she wasn't convinced. She demanded they wait ten years for her because she wanted to compete with them in beauty. Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong with strange expressions, thinking her talent for beauty was limited and it would be hard to surpass the two older women. A group member laughed at the idea of Bo Saixi waiting ten years for a little girl.
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong was now very unhappy. She thought Su Yan was a bastard for praising Bo Saixi while stepping on her. She wondered what was wrong with her own appearance. She told Su Yan she was giving him a chance to rephrase. She asked him to tell her again who was more beautiful, her or Bo Saixi. Hu Liena stepped in to support her teacher, saying Bibi Dong was the most beautiful. She said she didn't believe an old woman like Bo Saixi could be more beautiful than the Pope.
Bo Saixi shouted Hu Liena's name in the chat. She had been feeling a bit more comfortable listening to Su Yan's praise and was thinking he had good taste. Hu Liena's words once again broke her defenses. If someone said Bo Saixi was ugly, she might just smile faintly, but being called old made her break down. A group member joked that none of them were good.
Ah Yin tried to be fair. She suggested that Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi should each send a photo. She said Su Yan's opinion didn't count and everyone else would vote. Dugu Yan loved the idea, saying it was a good plan and they should send photos quickly. She added that whoever didn't send one would be presumed to have conceded. Everyone else in the chat agreed.
Inside the carriage, Dugu Yan smiled and leaned into Su Yan's arms. She asked him who he thought was more beautiful, Bibi Dong or Bo Saixi. Su Yan reached out and embraced Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, one on each side.
He gently replied that of course, Dugu Yan and Lingling were the most beautiful to him. Ye Lingling couldn't help but laugh when she heard his smooth answer. Dugu Yan was very happy and lightly kissed Su Yan on the face, saying it was his reward.
Back at the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong was dumbfounded. She thought the whole situation was ridiculous. She wondered how a discussion about Bo Saixi turned into a beauty contest. She asked herself if she was really so idle that she would send photos to a group chat. She felt like she had a reputation to maintain.
However, Hu Liena was serious. She told her teacher she would help take the most beautiful photo to surpass Bo Saixi. Bibi Dong complained weakly, asking if the dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall really needed to play such a boring game.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi's expression was calm again. Using her spirit power, she controlled a jade mirror to fly up. After finding the perfect angle and lighting, she took a beautiful photo and sent it to the group chat. She didn't care if Bibi Dong wanted to compete or not. She just wanted to show everyone that she was neither old nor ugly. She didn't want the younger generation imagining her as some old hag.
Dugu Yan commented on how beautiful Bo Saixi was, praising her figure and temperament. Ning Rongrong agreed, saying Su Yan didn't lie and that Bo Saixi was indeed very pretty. Ah Yin also complimented her and then asked Su Yan if he liked what he saw. Qian Renxue asked Ah Yin if she was turning into a bit of a troublemaker.
Tang Yuehua expressed her envy of Bo Saixi's beauty and grace. Su Yan then sent a final message, saying that seeing Bo Saixi for the first time on Sea God Island had ruined his life because no one else could compare. Bo Saixi was left confused by his dramatic statement.
