Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 450 Poseidon Island

"After all, as I just said, there are quite a few people who covet the beauty of the mermaid race."

As Chen Haisheng spoke, he looked up at Lin Xiao again, "But judging from your words and actions, your relationship is indeed not what I thought. It is clear that this mermaid princess trusts you, a human, quite a bit."

Lin Xiao remained silent, but his gaze toward Chen Haisheng was still full of vigilance. After all, a name he had never heard of before was not enough to make him lower his guard.

Chen Haisheng seemed to understand what Lin Xiao was thinking, and no longer hid it, "The reason I was spying on you two just now is because not long ago, I rescued the chief of the mermaid clan here."

You're saying Mom is still alive?

Liya couldn't help but speak up.

Not only her, but even Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Given their strength, it's certainly possible for them to rescue the Sea Princess, but why would they risk rescuing a sea spirit beast?

Upon hearing Liya's words, Chen Haisheng turned his head slightly to look at her. "Judging from your address... are you Lijing or Liya?"

“Lijing is my older sister,” Liya replied, her eyes regaining their sparkle.

Having never met Liya, yet being able to guess her name, it's clear that Chen Haisheng could only have gotten the information from the Sea Princess.

"Who is this……"

Chen Haisheng paused for a moment, and seeing that Lin Xiao still did not intend to speak, he helplessly clasped his hands in a fist salute, "I was just testing you, so it is normal for you to have this misunderstanding."

"To be honest, I, like you, have no hostility towards these sea spirit beasts." Chen Haisheng paused, then continued, "Do you know... the Sea God?"

Lin Xiao frowned upon hearing this. After all, he had not only heard of the name but was also quite familiar with him, and had even met him once before.

Seeing Lin Xiao's reaction, Chen Haisheng coughed lightly, "Ahem, my family has been guarding the Sea God's legacy for generations."

"Therefore, I would never intentionally harm any sea spirit beasts in this sea. What happened just now was only because I was worried that you might have ill intentions towards the merfolk. Please forgive me."

Chen Haisheng apologized again, and Lin Xiao finally responded.

He did not doubt Chen Haisheng's words. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he knew that the Sea God's legacy was indeed protected by someone.

"Then why are you here?"

“This is related to the mermaid race.” Chen Haisheng sighed softly. “The place where the Sea God’s legacy is located is called Sea God Island, and our family has lived on Sea God Island for generations.”

"The mermaid race actually has a deep connection with my Seagod Island."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly recalled the small statue he had seen after entering the Sea Princess's palace.

Even among sea spirit beasts, very few can devoutly worship the sea god like that. In that case, the origin of the Ocean Heart of the mermaid race is probably extraordinary.

Unaware of Lin Xiao's thoughts, Chen Haisheng continued, "That day I received the Sea Princess's distress message. When I arrived here, she was already severely injured, and her opponent..."

At this point, Chen Haisheng's expression changed slightly, as if even with his cultivation level, he was quite wary of his opponent from that day.

“Our family has worshipped the sea god for generations, so I was favored by him and managed to rescue the sea princess using some methods, but the other mermaids are already…”

Chen Haisheng stopped talking, but the others had already seen the result.

“The Sea Princess is currently recuperating on Seagod Island. She was worried about her two daughters, so she asked me to come here to check on them. I had just arrived when I saw the two of them.”

Lin Xiao recalled what had just happened. Although he didn't know exactly what kind of favor Chen Haisheng had received, it clearly made him much more at ease with the sea. No, he could even become one with the sea. Just now, it was only by forcefully striking the surface of the sea that he had forced Chen Haisheng to reveal himself.

Such ability does indeed match what he said.

With this in mind, Lin Xiao finally slowly withdrew the Styx Embrace that was about to be unleashed.

He turned to look at Liya, only to see that she was looking at him in the same way.

Lin Xiao knew that upon hearing news of the Sea Princess, Liya would probably be unable to move.

"Master, I..."

“I know.” Lin Xiao nodded and turned to Chen Haisheng. “Seagod Island is the place where the Seagod’s legacy is passed down. It’s not appropriate for an outsider like me to go there. However, Liya is a mermaid. I wonder if it would be possible for her to meet the Sea Princess?”

"Why do you say that, Your Excellency? Seagod Island has never refused any visitors, so what does it have to do with the Seagod's heritage? I see that Your Excellency is quite friendly towards the sea spirit beasts. Since you are traveling with Princess Liya, why don't you come and sit on Seagod Island together?"

"By the way, may I ask how I should address you?"

"Just call me Lin Xiao." With Liya by his side, Lin Xiao didn't use his pseudonym again.

"So it's Brother Lin," Chen Haisheng said with a smile. "If you two have nothing else to do, how about coming to Seagod Island with me?"

"Douluo Star is constantly rotating, the continent is shifting, and the location of Seagod Island is also constantly changing. Without the guidance of the people on the island, ordinary people would probably find it very difficult to locate Seagod Island."

Lin Xiao looked at Chen Haisheng, who had a kind expression on his face, then glanced at Liya, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

Based on the previous guess, the blood sacrifice that happened here is probably related to the fragments of Ilex's consciousness. Since Chen Haisheng is the guardian of Seagod Island, he may know the whereabouts of that soul beast.

"In that case, thank you very much."

Lin Xiao also clasped his hands in a fist salute, which was considered an acceptance.

"By the way, I just heard that the Sea God's legacy is guarded on Sea God Island. Now that the Sea God is still alive, what should be done if someone passes the test again?"

The group was still quite a distance from Poseidon Island. On the way, Lin Xiao looked at Chen Haisheng beside him and spoke seemingly unintentionally.

Chen Haisheng wasn't surprised, since ordinary people would naturally be quite curious when they heard about things related to deities.

"The Sea God has no intention of passing on the divine position, so the Sea God's assessment will not begin. Our clan's protection of the Sea God's legacy is actually more about protecting the peace of the sea."

"I see." Lin Xiao nodded slightly. He could tell that whether a mortal could become a god was entirely up to the gods.

If no deity is willing to pass on the divine position, even the most talented person will find it difficult to ascend to the divine realm.

"The sea is so vast, does that mean Brother Chen must be constantly on the go?" Lin Xiao said, looking around.

"Hey, Brother Lin, you're overthinking it. I don't interfere with most things in the sea. I only intervene to quell events or encounter soul beasts that could cause huge damage to the ocean."

"Like this time?"

“That’s right.” Chen Haisheng nodded upon hearing this. “Brother Lin should have realized that attacking a mermaid clan soul beast is not just an ordinary predation among sea soul beasts.”

"To be honest, I've been spending most of my time lately searching for that soul beast."
