"Buzz, buzz!"
The golden gate in the sky flickered more urgently.
It was as if it couldn't wait any longer and was hurrying Luo Yu along.
Bossi and the others were anxious, wanting to earnestly persuade Luo Yu not to be foolish and to seize the opportunity.
But before they could speak,
they saw Luo Yu frown and rebuke the golden gate.
"Stop blinking, not even a dog would go through."
He raised the Sea God's Trident in his hand and swept across the void, sending golden cloud-like glows exploding towards the golden gate.
"Sea God's Thirteen Styles: White Clouds Drifting Across the Ages!"
The normally non-swearing Sea Star Douluo couldn't help but curse.
"Holy shit, this big brother's awesome! Not accepting the inheritance is one thing, but to give it a few extra hits?"
"What a badass, this is what a real badass looks like," uttered the Sea Illusion Douluo, his eyes wide in awe.
"What level of disdain must one reach to strike out in impatience?"
The Sea Horse Douluo wore a gloomy face.
"Big brother, maybe dogs won't go, but I want to go."
"Can I go in?"
"What the hell are you dreaming of?" The Sea Dragon Douluo ruthlessly shot down the idea, looking up to Luo Yu in admiration, "What's called having a grand vision? This is it! Disregarding even the deities, indeed a role model for our generation."
The Sea Horse Douluo rolled his eyes and retorted, "Enough with the bootlicking. What, you think he's gonna give you a few more divine breaths to sniff or something?"
Sparks exploded in mid-air, and the golden gate had vanished amidst the blasts.
All sorts of miraculous phenomena were also dissipating.
Bossi's expression was exceptionally colorful, not accepting the inheritance is one thing, but to straight up bomb it?
"It's gone, just like that, the inheritance is gone."
Bossi was extremely heartbroken.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that wealth or treasures couldn't compare to.
After blowing up the gate, Luo Yu fiddled with his ear.
"So annoying."
"Now that's much quieter."
Bossi's heart quivered.
Was this what they called a heart-piercing murder?
You must be doing this deliberately to piss people off.
"Swoosh!"
Luo Yu's figure flickered through the air, sweeping up Bossi's slender waist and flying towards the ground.
"Let go of me."
Bossi struggled a bit but couldn't break free, a robust masculine scent enveloping her.
Her cheeks flushed red as if possessed by a ghost, she unexpectedly stopped resisting and quieted down.
After reaching the ground,
everyone held their breath, feeling an oppressive force confront them head-on.
Even without actively emitting an aura, Luo Yu, holding the Sea God's Trident and having just destroyed the inheritance light door, exuded an imposing presence.
Even though he was holding the goddess of everyone's dreams in his arms right now,
at most, people felt an internal sour pang of jealousy, but dared not utter a word more.
Bossi bit her lip, her beautiful eyes showing a complicated look as she gazed at the man close at hand.
"Now it's over. You've rejected the position of deity, and you're probably going to be completely abandoned by the Sea God now."
Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders.
He pinched the super divine weapon in his hand, speaking nonchalantly,
"Let him be. Anyway, I've already achieved what I came here for."
"What? What goal?" Bossi was eager to know what could be so important to Luo Yu that it overshadowed the divine inheritance.
"Want to know?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Mhm," Bossi nodded.
"Then give me a kiss, and I'll tell you."
"What? Impossible," Bossi shook her head repeatedly, her waterfall-like hair swaying.
"Letting you hug me is already the limit."
Luo Yu rolled his eyes, "We've kissed before, once bitten, twice shy, right?"
"No way," Bossi rejected him again.
"Alright then, don't ask anymore."
Bossi pouted, "Why are you such a rogue?"
"It's called mutual consent, can that be called being rogue? I didn't force you to kiss me, did I?"
Bossi snorted, "But you're holding me now, isn't that forceful?"
"Oh, a hug doesn't count." Luo Yu said, unblushing and unflustered.
"You're too overbearing!"
Facing the woman's indignant ranting, Luo Yu laughed.
"Too kind, too kind."
Bossi clenched her silver teeth, fixing Luo Yu with a steely glare.
This man was truly despicable.
Yet, no man had ever treated her this way in her life.
Other men either fawned over her tirelessly or were utterly respectful, leaving her utterly unimpressed.
But Luo Yu made her feel something entirely different.
There was hatred, dislike, yet it seemed not quite that.
She couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After hesitating for a moment, she quickly pecked Luo Yu on the face.
Luo Yu covered his face.
"Why did you suddenly take liberties with me!"
"Ah!"
Bossi felt infuriated again, "Didn't you say if I kissed you, you would tell me your real purpose?"
"Oh, oh, now I remember."
"Sorry, with age comes forgetfulness."
Bossi rolled her eyes speechlessly at his lame excuse; only you could come up with something like that.
"Spit it out."
Luo Yu leaned in, his body tilting towards Bossi.
His voice suddenly became exceptionally magnetic and husky.
"Actually, my true purpose for coming to Sea God's Island is you, my little Xi Xi."
"What?"
Bossi's pupils shrank.
Luo Yu retorted, "Otherwise, what do you think I could be here for?"
"This..."
Bossi was at a loss for words.
Looking into those sincere and profound beautiful eyes, her heart inexplicably fluttered.
Her heartbeat quickened.
Thump, thump!
Her beautiful eyes slowly became hazy.
Luo Yu inched closer.
Just as they were about to touch, a snicker suddenly came from the side.
Bossi's eyes regained a trace of clarity, and she hastily pushed Luo Yu away.
Her face turned red as if it would drip water.
Her tone, no longer as commanding as before, strangely softened.
"Almost... almost fooled by you."
Luo Yu frowned, turned his head, and glared fiercely to the side.
Sea Dragon Douluo shivered.
He waved his hands repeatedly.
"I... I didn't mean to."
Pointing to his stomach and full of the will to survive, he said with an innocent face, "It wasn't me, it was the intake of air that made the noise."
Luo Yu nodded.
Without a word.
But the Sea God's Trident in his hand was already sweeping up, and the surrounding seawater rose into thousand-foot-high waves, slamming Sea Dragon Douluo inside.
And the water magically retreated on its own when it encountered other people, forming a vacuum.
Everyone was stunned by Luo Yu's display of water manipulation.
Bossi was no exception; she admitted that even with her Sea God Martial Soul, she couldn't control the seawater with such ease.
This man was unreasonably powerful.
"Swoosh!"
At this moment, an anomaly appeared on Luo Yu's forehead, drawing everyone's attention.
"The inheritor refuses the Sea God inheritance, showing great courage, rewarded with three God-Gifted Spirit Rings."
"The eighth trial of the Sea God: Slay the 990,000-Year Soul Beast, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, to gain 30% Sea God Affinity."
"Complete all nine trials, and you may obtain the chance for the Sea God inheritance once again."
"This..."
There was utter silence all around.
Bossi was shocked; she hadn't expected Luo Yu to scorn the deities and yet be granted another chance for the inheritance.
Sea Horse Douluo's mouth twitched, revealing a bitter smile on his face.
Is this the legendary notion that if you're powerful enough, you can do whatever you want?
