Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Bo Saixi
[To my surprise, Ning Rongrong didn't mock Dai Mubai when she came out. Instead, she spoke up for Zhu Zhuqing. This was unexpected—very different from the Ning Rongrong I knew.]
[Although it was different, I felt this side of Rongrong wasn't bad. Her personality had improved a lot compared to before. While she still had her "little devil" tendencies, they had turned into something more "positive."]
[Also, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Rongrong seems much more mature than I remembered. Take tonight, for example—she stood up for Zhuqing even though she's just a support-type spirit master. If I hadn't intervened in time to restrain Dai Mubai, wouldn't she have been in danger?]
[Sure, this could've earned me some favorability points with Rongrong, but honestly, I'd rather this kind of situation not happen at all. What if something went wrong? It would've been disastrous.]
[In the original story, when Rongrong was nearly strangled by Dai Mubai, the people secretly protecting her didn't even show up. That's just absurd. Even if Ning Fengzhi wanted to temper her personality, couldn't he have found a less risky way?]
[Thankfully, Rongrong was fine in the end. However, because of this, I ended up offending Dai Mubai. Even though he later said he'd apologize to Zhuqing, the incident already happened. He'll definitely hold a grudge against me.]
[I hope Dai Mubai doesn't try to provoke me. If he does, I won't care if he's the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. Push me far enough, and I'll take him out. It's not like the Star Luo Imperial Family can extend their reach this far. Plus, with the Clear Sky Sect in seclusion, their empire doesn't have any titled Douluo-level experts. I have nothing to fear.]
[One more thing—tonight, Oscar actually pleaded on Dai Mubai's behalf. Tang San doing so is expected, given his nature, but Oscar? Just yesterday, he was saying he wanted to pursue Rongrong. Not only did he fail to stand up for her tonight, but he also defended Dai Mubai. How disappointing!]
[I'd even considered taking Oscar under my wing as a subordinate. Thinking back now, it's laughable. I was too shortsighted, thinking his future status as the God of Food might be useful. But really, if he hadn't received Tang San's immortal herbs or undergone the Sea God Island trials in the original story, would the God of Food even have chosen him? That's far from certain!]
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, a diary suddenly appeared before Bo Saixi.
Her expression immediately turned wary. As a Rank 99 Peak Douluo, she hadn't sensed anything amiss before this diary materialized right in front of her.
"Who's there, playing tricks? Show yourself!"
Bo Saixi unleashed her spirit power, her mental energy covering the entirety of Sea God Island in an attempt to locate the source. Despite her efforts, she found nothing.
Sensing her probing, the Seven Sacred Pillars' guardians quickly assembled outside the Sea God Temple, concern evident on their faces.
"Lady Bo Saixi, is something wrong?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked respectfully.
In response, Bo Saixi remained silent for a long time.
She had scoured the island with her mental energy, leaving no stone unturned, but found nothing suspicious. The only anomaly was the diary floating quietly before her, with her name inscribed on its cover.
This baffled her. After so many years, it was the first time she'd encountered something she couldn't comprehend. The unknown is always the most terrifying.
Still, the diary hadn't shown any signs of hostility. Driven by curiosity, Bo Saixi decided to open it—it was her only clue, after all.
As she read, her calm expression gave way to astonishment. The diary's contents were simply too incredible.
On Sea God Island, where life was monotonous and unchanging, very little could stir her emotions anymore. But this diary managed to do just that.
With her immense mental energy, Bo Saixi quickly absorbed years' worth of Su Ming's entries, coming to understand his knowledge of the continent and his reincarnated memories. She also learned that those mentioned most frequently in his diary would receive rewards.
Initially, Bo Saixi was skeptical. However, the changes in Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—whose circumstances deviated from Su Ming's original knowledge—lent credibility to his claims. Their increased strength was likely a result of these diary rewards.
Still, Bo Saixi wasn't particularly interested in such rewards. As a Rank 99 Peak Douluo, she already stood at the pinnacle of the continent. These so-called rewards likely held little value for her. Even the "minimum spirit power boost" seemed irrelevant, given her years-long inability to advance her cultivation despite rigorous training.
What truly caught her attention, however, was Su Ming's mention of Tang San. According to the diary, Tang San also retained memories from a previous life, where he was an assassin and an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect, having stolen inner sect techniques. In the original story, he was chosen as the Sea God's heir.
From the diary's description, Bo Saixi found it difficult to view Tang San as a virtuous individual. Stealing sect secrets without permission was a capital offense in any era.
Let alone his character and moral compass—why had the Sea God chosen someone like him as an heir?
Bo Saixi was deeply conflicted. Did she truly have to sacrifice herself for such a person during the Ninth Trial as part of her duty as the High Priestess of Sea God Island?
If the heir had been someone with admirable character, she could accept it. But Tang San? Was it worth it?
Although the diary didn't explicitly state that Tang Chen was Tang San's grandfather, Bo Saixi deduced as much.
After all, Tang San's father was none other than the youngest titled Douluo in history, the Clear Sky Douluo—a feat that had once shaken the entire continent. Though Bo Saixi lived far from the mainland, even she had heard of it.
What she hadn't expected was that, in the original story, she never got to meet Tang Chen. Instead, she was presented with his great-grandson—someone so flawed in character.
Given that Tang San would inherit the Sea God's legacy in the original story, he must have obtained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
That treasure's whereabouts remained unknown, and Su Ming's diary didn't mention it either. Bo Saixi could only hope Su Ming would seize it before Tang San did. Otherwise, she'd be powerless to resist the Sea God's will.
As for whether Su Ming would consider taking the Sea God's inheritance, she wasn't concerned. His diary clearly stated that he found none of the divine positions on the continent suitable for him. Instead, he wanted to pursue godhood through faith—a wildly ambitious goal.
