Chương 820: Chapter 817 I Know Some Secrets About the Sea God and You_1

"This scoundrel, which girl would dress like this? He must have figured it out himself just to tease girls," Poseissi muttered softly, looking down at her own beautiful legs.

Her face was very red, but she couldn't help feeling a bit delighted inside.

She looked pretty now too!

Back then, she was known as the foremost beauty of Sea God's Island, and even now, she was not inferior to others.

Poseissi was also quite proud; before coming to Sea God's Island, she was a renowned beauty throughout the entire ocean area, admired by countless people.

But she had been dedicated to cultivation, and after arriving at Sea God's Island, she had received the Sea God's Eighth Trial.

Latter on, with the Sea God's help, she possessed the Sea God Spirit.

That's right, her Martial Soul was different from other people's; hers was the Sea God Spirit.

When the Sea God favored her, she cultivated even harder, paying even less attention to matters of the opposite sex.

Then she met Tang Chen, who also left in a hurry.

In a way, Poseissi was still quite poor in romantic experience, devoid of much romantic history. The time with Tang Chen was nothing more than a faint mutual liking; they never truly pushed through the barriers, not even to the point of Tang Chen touching Poseissi's hand.

"Xixi, speaking ill of others behind their back isn't a good habit, you know," Xu Ran quietly appeared behind Poseissi and suddenly spoke. Hearing Poseissi's muttering to herself, Xu Ran found it a bit funny.

"You don't make any noise when you walk? You scared me to death." Poseissi jumped at Xu Ran's surprise and, hearing her own mutterings being overheard, her pretty face blushed slightly, unable to resist giving Xu Ran a white eye.

And Xu Ran's way of addressing her felt a bit strange.

She couldn't quite put her finger on the kind of feeling it was.

It was very weird, but didn't make her dislike it too much.

It was still the first time in her life that someone had addressed her this way, like calling a little girl.

She was Poseissi, the High Priest of Sea God's Island. People on the island greeted her with the utmost respect, addressing her as High Priest, and no one dared to call her by her real name, let alone so intimately.

Even Tang Chen had never called her that way.

Tang Chen was as unresponsive as a piece of dead wood, utterly clueless about such matters.

After Tang Chen confessed his feelings to Poseissi, he left directly, then planned to attain godhood before coming back to marry her.

Various signs indicated that Tang Chen had indeed never even held Poseissi's hand.

Even if Tang Chen previously had a vague fondness for Poseissi, it didn't count for much.

There was no physical contact, which was good.

"Don't call me Xixi in the future," Poseissi said after a long pause, her voice distant. She was not a little girl, and even if she were, their relationship was not close enough for him to address her so intimately.

"No, I'll keep calling you that, Xixi darling," Xu Ran said with a playful expression.

How could he, a grown man, simply stop doing something because a woman told him not to?

Impossible.

The more a woman said no, the more he would persist.

"You!" Seeing Xu Ran call her with even more gusto, adding the word "darling," Poseissi became annoyed and furious, her eyes looking at Xu Ran starting to turn somewhat strange.

For all these years, she had never been teased like this.

Everyone she met was so proper.

Only Xu Ran was this unrestrained, not bound by conventional norms.

"I'm now opposing the Sea God's Heir; there won't be any problems with you dating me now, will there?" Xu Ran asked, looking at Poseissi. He felt that Poseissi's feelings towards him were somewhat different.

He had shown disrespect to both the Sea God and the Sea God's Heir, yet this High Priest didn't seem to react much to him.

"Date?" Poseissi wrinkled her nose. Why did Xu Ran always make it sound so ambiguous? It was just a simple meeting.

"Hmph, what am I even doing to you? I haven't done anything to wrong the Sea God."

"Right now, I'm just Poseissi, not the High Priest. I just want to know the truth about what happened to Tang Chen back then, and about that mysterious secret you mentioned. Besides, the Sea God's Heir is not the Sea God," Poseissi explained.

She suddenly felt a bit of turmoil in her heart.

This explanation lacked persuasion, even she couldn't convince herself.

Xu Ran had done so many disrespectful things toward the Sea God, even destroying the trident imprint of the Sea God's Nine Quests, yet she couldn't bring herself to feel too much disgust toward Xu Ran.

"What if I were disrespectful to the Sea God, what then?"

"You are the High Priest, being with someone like me who has shown such disrespect to the Sea God..." Xu Ran stared into Poseissi's eyes.

"Oh come on. Why do you need to know so much? Are you going to continue with those stories or not? If you don't want to tell me, I'll leave right now." Poseissi turned and was about to walk away.

She was left speechless by Xu Ran's question.

To be honest, she didn't even know why herself.

Often, the things people do naturally are inexplicable.

Xu Ran was clearly shameless in her eyes, frivolous in tone, and had committed many acts of disrespect toward the Sea God, but she still didn't dislike him.

"Alright, I'll tell you more."

"Tang Chen in Slaughter City..." Xu Ran rambled on, recounting the story of Tang Chen setting a record-winning streak in the arena in Slaughter City, as well as describing Hell Road.

"That's it."

Xu Ran smiled, halting the story right at Hell Road.

If there were any readers from his previous life around, they would surely curse him as a 'cliffhanger dog'.

Someday with a blade in hand, to slay all the world's cliffhanger dogs.

However, creating cliffhangers is actually something only the big shots do; those who "hit the street" just stop writing once they've reached the word count. There's no such thing as building up suspense or climaxes. Once two thousand words are reached, not even one extra word is allowed. Even if it's two thousand words, they're all endless filler, not advancing the plot at all.

"What about Hell Road?"

Poseissi looked at Xu Ran with slow-burning resentment. After hearing about the dangers of Hell Road, she was astonished. Hearing about such a mystical place, her thoughts followed Xu Ran as if entering Hell Road itself.

She longed to visit the land, to explore those mysterious places.

At this moment, Poseissi was just like a faithful reader.

She had forgotten that she wanted to find out the cause of Tang Chen's death from Xu Ran's words, and most of the time, she couldn't even recall Tang Chen.

"No more, to unlock the rest of the story, you must..." Xu Ran pulled out a miniskirt from his storage soul tool and stuffed it into Poseissi's chest.

"How, how could this be acceptable?"

Poseissi looked at the lightweight fabric in her hands, her voice trembling.

She could barely accept leggings.

But this skirt seemed...

This short a skirt, by the seaside...

With the sea breeze so strong, what if it were to be accidentally blown up?

"Xu Ran, are you serious?" Poseissi glared at him angrily.

"Of course, you can also choose not to hear the rest of the story. But then, that Sea God..." Xu Ran said leisurely.

"Sea God? What about the Sea God?" Poseissi's heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated upon hearing about the Sea God, although she initially wanted to refuse Xu Ran sternly.

"The Sea God, you see. I know some secrets about the Sea God and you. At the end of the story, I'll tell you about them," Xu Ran said leisurely.

"Xu Ran, you're ruthless."

Poseissi picked up the miniskirt and ran off with a patter of footsteps.
