Chương 822: Chapter 119 I'm Here to Protect You_1
"Even if you aren't the killer of Tang Chen, you're no good either. A lecherous man."
Poseissi couldn't help but give Xu Ran a disdainful glance.
However, a joyful smile appeared on her face.
That serene cheek suddenly bloomed into a smile, breathtakingly beautiful.
The sea breeze tousled Poseissi's beautiful long hair, strands fluttering; for a moment, it was as if all there was to see was Poseissi's beauty.
Xu Ran finally understood why Poseissi could attract both Tang Chen and Qian Dao Liu at the same time, why the Sea God would bestow her with a name, bestow her with a God Rank Martial Soul.
When Poseissi smiled, she was the epitome of allure.
Unconsciously, she made one's heart tremble fiercely, and you couldn't help but want to hold her tight and shower her with affection.
In light of such beauty, it was no wonder that she was coveted by many.
And that wasn't even Poseissi at her most beautiful.
Poseissi and Qian Dao Liu, Tang Chen—they were from the same era. After so many years' worth of changing seasons, Poseissi's beauty was still on par with Bi Bidong, which spoke volumes about Poseissi's natural grace.
Young Poseissi must have been exceedingly beautiful.
But once he became a god in the future, he would also make Poseissi a god; at that time, her youthful peak of beauty would return.
For Soul Masters of their caliber, age was irrelevant.
After becoming a god, years were endless, and considering age was meaningless.
If not, then as the Life God, Green Sister had lived for tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions of years.
"Hmph."
"What is Tang San doing on Sea God's Island? Is it to become the Sea God?" Poseissi asked curiously.
Now, she didn't want Tang San to become the Sea God.
Tang San had deceived her, killed Tang Chen, and opposed Xu Ran. Was such a person worthy of her sacrifice?
She felt somewhat reluctant.
In the past, she was willing to sacrifice herself for the Sea God's Heir without any regrets.
But for Tang San...
She didn't want to... Tang San was too shameless. How could such a person become the Sea God and still be beloved by the creatures of the sea?
"At first, he wanted to obtain you. He destroyed the Hao Tian Clan to attract Tang Chen's appearance, killing Tang Chen in order to have you. He accidentally heard of your beauty while on the Continent, at least that you were a beauty of renown, and so Tang San harbored ulterior motives."
"This..." Poseissi's delicate body trembled.
She remembered that sometimes Tang San's gaze at her seemed strange, filled with desire.
At this moment, Poseissi's fondness for Tang San plummeted to freezing point.
Her eyes were filled with repulsion and disdain.
A person who could even turn against his kin—Poseissi would rather die than agree, even if she were.
"Then what are you here for?" Poseissi looked at Xu Ran with a deep gaze. Xu Ran wasn't interested in the Sea God's inheritance after all.
"I'm here to protect you. I was afraid you'd get hurt. Without me here, perhaps Tang San would have devoured you upon arriving on Sea God's Island. My presence and strength gave him pause, hence he didn't make a move."
Listening to Xu Ran's words, Poseissi's heart quivered intensely.
She hadn't expected the cause and outcome to be like this.
It was completely different from what she had imagined.
Was Xu Ran here on Sea God's Island to protect her?
When Poseissi thought of how she had misunderstood Xu Ran at the beginning, how harshly she had treated him, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong before. I believed in Tang San's words and wronged you," Poseissi said sincerely, opening her heart to Xu Ran after learning the truth.
Xu Ran had sacrificed so much for her, standing by her side to protect her for so long, that she would be remiss not to apologize to him.
"It's okay; with our relationship, you don't need to do that."
"Our relationship?" A flush of embarrassment crossed Poseissi's face. What kind of relationship could she possibly have with Xu Ran?
Biting her silver teeth lightly, Poseissi said, "I think on Sea God's Island, besides Tang San, you must have other reasons to be here. I can sense that both you and Tang San seem to be waiting for something. Although I don't know what it is, my intuition tells me so."
"We are all waiting for the Sea God."
"Tang San is waiting for the Sea God to descend and, together with the Sea God, destroy me."
Xu Ran shrugged, laying everything out openly.
"Then why aren't you running away? You might be able to deal with Tang San, but with the Sea God as well, you definitely can't stand against both Gods," Poseissi looked at Xu Ran with sudden panic.
Realizing that Xu Ran might be in danger, she became completely flustered.
She didn't realize that her concern for Xu Ran might be excessive.
"Run? I do want to run."
"Facing two First-Level Gods at the same time would give even the Divine King pause, for even a Divine King might falter if not careful. I, someone who isn't even a God, have no confidence against two First-Level Gods," Xu Ran sighed.
But a man cannot retreat.
"Then why don't you run? If you know you're no match, you should run all the more. Are you stupid?" Poseissi's emotions were running high. She didn't want Xu Ran to die.
She couldn't bear the thought of Xu Ran dying before her eyes; it would leave her in utter despair.
"If I run, what will you do?" Xu Ran looked at Poseissi tenderly, feeling it was time to advance his cause and win Poseissi over.
He was becoming impatient.
Whether it was Poseissi herself or the rewards of the mission, he was eager to obtain them.
He didn't want to wait another minute.
"Me? You're worried about Tang San. If the Sea God descends, Tang San wouldn't dare to lay a finger on me. After all, I am the Grand Priest of Sea God Island, the spokesperson of the Sea God in the oceans; Tang San wouldn't dare to touch me. Even if Tang San wanted to do something, the Sea God would intervene to stop him," Poseissi stated seriously.
Poor girl, she didn't yet realize that the Sea God was the most shameless of all.
Being close to the Sea God was not only not the safest option but actually the most dangerous.
Especially now that the Sea God, furious and humiliated, might vent his anger on Poseissi if he couldn't find Xu Ran.
Poseissi was just a girl, how could she bear the wrath of the Sea God.
Such fury could lead to unspeakable punishment for Poseissi.
"I'm not worried about Tang San; it's the Sea God," Xu Ran explained.
"Tang San might be shameless, but he wouldn't go too far. But the Sea God... he would..."
"Xu Ran, what nonsense are you talking about? How could the Sea God possibly be such a person? The Sea God is the god of the oceans and would never be the disgraceful character you describe," Poseissi's pretty face suddenly turned cold, confused as to why Xu Ran had such a grievance against the Sea God.
The Sea God was her faith, the one who had granted her everything.
"See for yourself," Xu Ran gestured with his palm, and another vision appeared in Poseissi's mind.
In it, were the words the Sea God had once said.
"No."
"It can't be."
"How could the Sea God be such a person…" Poseissi looked distraught, tears brimming in her eyes, her body shaking. At that moment, her delicate figure became incredibly fragile.
