Everyone watched as Sea Illusion Douluo retreated.
It was then that they finally understood what sort of person he truly was.
Sea Dragon Douluo poked at his waist.
"Damn! I almost got fooled by you."
"Come off it, what big bad wolf act is this? You were scared to death too, huh?"
Sea Illusion Douluo hummed, not responding, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Ignoring the pairs of rolling eyes around him.
In the air.
"Hubby~" Bossi called awkwardly.
Luo Yu shook his head, "No, your voice is still too soft."
"Hubby~"
With a typically cool and mature voice, Bossi finally added a bit of tenderness.
But Luo Yu was still not satisfied.
"You're just blatantly bullying me," Bossi protested.
"I am bullying you," Luo Yu admitted without any pretense.
"Hss..."
Bossi took a deep breath, thankful that she was no longer a young girl.
Otherwise, she would already have been driven to tears by Luo Yu.
"What exactly do you want?" she asked.
Luo Yu thought for a moment before saying, "I won't make it too hard for you. I'll give you two choices."
"What choices?" Bossi inquired.
"First, call me 'hubby' louder now, until I'm satisfied."
Bossi instantly made her decision.
"I choose the second one."
"Are you sure?" Luo Yu asked.
"Yeah, who knows when you'll ever be satisfied," Bossi huffed.
"The second option," Luo Yu said, "is for you to come to my room at midnight tonight. I have something to discuss with you."
Bossi's delicate body tightened instantly as she glared with her beautiful eyes.
"You're asking me, the Sea God Island Great Priest, to go to your room in the middle of the night?"
"Didn't you choose the second option?" Luo Yu said with a smile.
Bossi replied, "Then I choose the third option."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"Sorry, you only have two choices. Where did this third one come from?"
"No way, I can't do either of those," she said.
Bossi bit her lower lip, ready to kill or be killed, however he pleased.
Even as Luo Yu applied more pressure.
She didn't even frown anymore; instead, she tilted her fair neck upward, letting him have his way.
"Oh? Getting angry?"
Luo Yu was completely unfazed. He had plenty of ways to deal with women.
While holding Bossi's neck with one hand, he slid a finger from his other hand along her waist.
"What...what are you doing?"
The previously defiant Bossi panicked in an instant, struggling and writhing.
"What's the matter, you're not afraid to die but you're afraid of this?" Luo Yu taunted.
"You bastard, let me go if you have the guts!" Bossi lost all her elegant composure and scolded him, her mouth wide open.
Luo Yu withdrew his hand, and Bossi was taken aback, not expecting him to actually loosen his grip just because he said so.
"I let you go, so now what?"
"You gonna bite me?"
Angered, Bossi gritted her teeth, "I'll fight you!"
She activated her Soul Power and launched an attack at Luo Yu.
But within a couple of moves, she was subdued by Luo Yu once more, her neck pinned down firmly.
"Cough cough."
Bossi coughed, her fair neck clearly showing the red marks of fingers.
"Have you forgotten how you were first captured by me and still dare to make a move?" Luo Yu said with a sigh.
"What do you really want!" Bossi stopped struggling, looking dejected, her proud temper completely worn away by Luo Yu's repeated provocations.
"Either call me, or come to my room tonight," Luo Yu declared.
"Don't look at me with such a resentful gaze, acting as if I'm the bad guy here. Didn't you say that as long as I beat you, I'd be your man from then on?"
Bossi's lips curled into a slight smile, and she suddenly let out a beautiful cold laugh.
"Aren't you afraid that I might just pretend to submit, and then secretly give you a stab when you fall asleep?"
```
"No, you won't do that," Luo Yu responded with certainty.
"Why?" Bossi asked coldly.
"Because you can't bear to."
Bossi rolled her eyes. "I've come to realize that your thick skin is just like your strength."
"Thanks for the compliment," Luo Yu said. "One can't hide the look in their eyes when they wish to stab someone, yet there's not even a hint of basic hatred in yours towards me."
"Do you think you know me better than I know myself? What a joke," Bossi said.
"A little bit, a little bit," Luo Yu replied with a humble smile.
"Ah!"
Bossi gnashed her teeth in frustration.
She couldn't beat this man in a fight or outwit him in an argument; she truly had met her match for life.
No, rather, her nemesis for life.
What shook her the most was that the man had actually guessed her true feelings.
She asked herself.
Even now, as the man choked her neck and verbally humiliated her,
She didn't seem to harbor any hatred in her heart, not even a desire for revenge.
Instead, was there a peculiar sense of comfort?
A jolt went through Bossi's heart.
Could it be that she had a masochistic tendency?
Impossible.
Bossi quickly dismissed the terrifying thought from her mind.
"Alright, I promise you, I'll come to your room tonight."
"Good."
Luo Yu immediately let her go, freeing her.
"Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?" Bossi massaged her own neck, which bore red finger marks.
Luo Yu's smile turned up at the corners, hinting at something deeper.
"I rather hope you do,"
"Then, I'll have an excuse to do much more."
Bossi's beautiful eyes trembled.
"You're really terrible!!"
Luo Yu leaned close to the beauty's tender earlobe and gently blew a breath.
"I'm just an ordinary man,"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Bossi's delicate body shuddered, and she quickly moved to the side.
At that moment, Luo Yu's brow shone, and a golden barrier appeared in the air.
"The examiner has passed the sixth test, having successfully endured a stick of incense in Bossi's hands, and is rewarded with a 20% Sea God Affinity."
Bossi felt the urge to mock the Sea God inside.
Was the Sea God specifically picking a man to be her bane?
She was kissed in the first test.
And in this sixth test, the other party took advantage of her again.
What would she face after the completion of the Sea God's Nine Quests?
"The Seventh Sea God Quest: Pull out the Sea God's Trident, the true Divine Artifact left by the Sea God, which can wield the Power of the Great Sea. The reward is 15% Sea God Affinity."
The golden screen disappeared, and Luo Yu flew straight back to the ground.
Taking Bai Xiuxiu and Purple Pearl by the hand, he began to walk away.
Bossi flashed over and stopped him.
"What are you doing?"
"Going back to rest, why else? Unless you want to join?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
Bossi blinked, "Don't you want to go straight for the seventh test?"
Luo Yu snorted.
"I think you have ill intentions, deliberately wanting me to make a fool of myself."
"How could that be."
Internally, Bossi scoffed. How could this man be so perceptive? Indeed, the Sea God's Trident was not so easy to pull out.
Luo Yu waved his hand.
"No, not going. Today, I've already slaughtered evil killer whales and casually beat up the Sea God Island Great Priest, I'm tired, and I need to rest."
Bossi really wanted to ask Luo Yu if he had any manners.
"Don't forget our agreement."
Having said that, Luo Yu left Bossi behind, taking the two beauties with him as he strode away.
On the shore, the White Shark Clan Leader watched the scene, eyes flickering with different colors, wondering what he was contemplating.
