บท 797: Chapter 794: If I Say, I Didn't Kill Tang Chen, Would You Believe Me?_1
Xu Ran stood with his hands behind his back, his face morphing into Tang Chen's.
Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to head to Poseissi's bedroom and then...
But upon seeing Poseissi, witnessing her sorrowful state, he felt somewhat reluctant to cause her distress.
After all, Poseissi had waited for Tang Chen on Sea God's Island for so many years. Even though they hadn't seen each other for so long, perhaps the love had already faded. But that obsession truly existed.
Just like Bi Bidong's previous obsession with Yu Xiaogang.
It wasn't necessarily love but merely a form of expectation, an explanation owed to one's youth.
"Is that you, Tang Chen?" Poseissi gazed at Xu Ran's figure, looking at his desolate and slender silhouette, and stopped in her tracks.
At this moment, she didn't know what she felt. Seeing Tang Chen again, she didn't feel the excitement she had imagined; instead, it was as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She had always waited for Tang Chen's return in the past. Was Tang Chen finally back now?
Xu Ran did not speak and found a place to sit down.
"Ah Chen," Poseissi approached Xu Ran, her long dress fluttering, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, quietly leaning against him.
By then, the night had deepened, and a cool breeze blew in gusts, brushing against them both.
Xu Ran had intended to take advantage of assuming Tang Chen's identity to taste the flavor of a beauty like Poseissi. Such a noble and high-born woman, who treated him with disdain. And the more such a woman did so, the more fascinated he became.
But seeing Poseissi with tear-blurred eyes, he too felt uncomfortable.
He didn't know what to say.
Ever since he arrived in this world, he had selfishly destroyed everything about it. Although Xu Ran knew he was selfish, he didn't plan to change his egotistic nature.
Every man for himself, that is the rule of survival.
But this was nothing to be proud of.
Tang Chen was not a bad person, but he was Tang San's ancestor. Since Tang Chen was his enemy, he could not let him go, just as he couldn't spare the Hao Tian Clan.
To eradicate a problem, one must remove its roots; otherwise, it will regrow with the spring breeze.
Xu Ran understood this principle.
He could not afford to be merciful to his enemies.
In this world, not all who died deserved death.
And as for Poseissi, Xu Ran could not let her go.
From the moment Xu Ran had crossed into this world, he was clear that he would not allow a woman he desired to be taken by another man. He would rather be selfish than witness such a scene.
In his former life, he was merely a helpless man with no strength, living within the confines of established rules.
But now, he could be the one who sets the rules.
He wanted to transcend it all!
Xu Ran looked at Poseissi, who leaned against his shoulder. If Sea God were to descend to the mortal realm and she realized that the Sea God she worshipped was like this, that the Sea God groomed her only to be his plaything...
At that moment, with her faith collapsing, Poseissi might suffer even more.
And Xu Ran didn't know how to explain all this to Poseissi.
Tang Chen and Poseissi had been apart for many years, and the love Tang Chen had for Poseissi in the past was love at first sight rather than love fostered over time.
Without the sediment of time, those feelings had long turned into an obsession. Once the opportunity arose, that obsession would dissipate.
But the Sea God was Poseissi's lifelong faith.
As the High Priest of Sea God's Island, she was always prepared to sacrifice everything. If she knew those things, she would likely suffer greatly.
A night passed.
Xu Ran and Poseissi did not speak; Poseissi wrapped her arms around Xu Ran's waist, feeling the warmth of his body.
Actually, while holding Xu Ran, Poseissi already knew that this was not Tang Chen.
Tang Chen couldn't be so young anymore. Even though the face was the same, the body was obviously different.
Moreover, Xu Ran had a unique and pleasant masculine scent, distinct from that of other men. She had felt it when she hugged Xu Ran.
But Xu Ran's body was so warm. When she sat quietly beside him, she felt as if the whole world became ethereal.
She still remembered, many years ago,
back then when she sat with Tang Chen just like this, listening to the sound of the sea breeze and the waves. At that time, she felt the whole world was so peaceful.
Now, sitting with Xu Ran, she somehow felt the same way.
She didn't understand why this was happening.
She clearly hated Xu Ran, but now...
Did she really hate Xu Ran?
Why could Xu Ran also give her this feeling?
Regardless of the reason, she enjoyed this feeling that reminded her of when she first met Tang Chen. Those were the most beautiful moments of her life.
In the early morning, Xu Ran found a coat in the storage soul tool and draped it over Poseissi.
Xu Ran stood up quietly, preparing to leave.
He was extremely careful, afraid of waking Poseissi.
"Xu Ran."
Just as Xu Ran was about to leave, Poseissi woke up.
She looked at Xu Ran and called out softly.
At that moment, Poseissi's eyes held a different look when she gazed at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran was still that despicable and shameless figure in her heart, but why was Xu Ran's body so warm, compelling her to draw near involuntarily?
Even though she knew the person in front of her was Xu Ran, not Tang Chen, she still couldn't control herself.
"You are Xu Ran, right?" Poseissi continued to ask.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with complex feelings.
"Yes," Xu Ran replied.
"Why haven't you done anything to me..." Poseissi asked Xu Ran.
By then, Xu Ran had already disguised himself as Tang Chen and successfully deceived her. With Xu Ran's strength, he could have done something to her, but he didn't do anything. Instead, it was she who had leaned on Xu Ran for the entire night.
Wasn't Xu Ran a lecher?
Why hadn't Xu Ran done anything to her?
She was confident in her appearance, and though she was no longer young, her beauty was still top-tier on the Continent. Moreover, Xu Ran had sought her out precisely to have her, hadn't he?
"What I want to obtain, I will use proper means to obtain. I don't just want your person; I want to win your heart as well," Xu Ran said lightly.
Of course, that was under normal circumstances. If he really couldn't obtain her heart, he would still take her person first.
People should learn to be flexible.
"But you killed Tang Chen. I could never like you," Poseissi took a deep breath, looked at Xu Ran, and spoke.
"What if I said I didn't kill Tang Chen? Would you believe me?" Xu Ran looked at Poseissi, his eyes deep and profound as if hiding the cosmos.
"What?"
Xu Ran's words dumbfounded Poseissi. She stood there, trembling, as Xu Ran's statement struck her like thunder, sending shockwaves through her heart.
Could it be that Xu Ran hadn't killed Tang Chen?
But hadn't Tang San said that Xu Ran was the one who killed Tang Chen?
Poseissi was at a loss for a moment.
Indeed, she had never witnessed Xu Ran killing Tang Chen. Could she simply take Tang San's word for it and regard Xu Ran as the murderer?
