While writing a diary in Douluo Continent, a female character relentlessly pursues him.

…………

Poseidon Island.

A touch of emotion appeared on Poseidon's exquisite face.

Su Ye was right; their story is quite simple.

However, although it was simple, it was the most unforgettable moment of her life.

Perhaps, as Su Ye said, it's rare to meet someone of the same level, so one's mindset is naturally different.

"It seems my guess was right; I indeed didn't have it..."

Poseidon breathed a quiet sigh of relief; at least there were no complaints.

Although if she could really gain level one soul power in return, she wouldn't mind gritting her teeth and accepting death.

But it's best not to, it's too embarrassing to be socially awkward or anything like that.

However, Poseidon's next move left me somewhat confused.

Women: ? ? ?

There's a melon?!

Tell me quickly, I love hearing this.

Poseidon's heart skipped a beat, and her mind raced as she tried to recall the events.

"My initial response was probably fine... right?"

She thought about it again and again, and felt that her original answer was very appropriate.

It subtly expressed his feelings while also saving face for Qian Daoliu; there's no problem with that.

If anything is wrong, it's Tang Chen's fault. What does it have to do with Poseidon?

Faced with the advances of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, Poseidon didn't directly reject them or choose one over the other. Instead, she subtly stated: "I will marry whoever can reach level 100 and become a god."

[Like Poseidon, Sendou Ryu is a sacrificial experience pack, so naturally he has no chance of becoming a god.]

[Without divine assistance, Tang Chen cultivated to level 99 on his own. In Poseidon's view, he had a certain hope of reaching level 100 and becoming a god.]

So the meaning of this statement is actually quite clear: she chose Tang Chen, and the subsequent plot also proves this point; Poseidon likes Tang Chen.

Qian Daoliu understood the deeper meaning behind the words, and without further ado, chose to leave quietly.

[The third wheel is gone, and what should have been a happy ending was unexpected. But then Tang Chen's thought process was astonishing. He left with the words, "I won't return until I become a god," and then...]

[And that was it. He didn't return even when Tang San went to Seagod Island.]

I reckon Poseidon was completely dumbfounded.

[Poseidon: No, buddy, are you serious?]

"puff!"

All the women burst out laughing at that moment, genuinely amused by Tang Chen.

Can't you hear such an obvious hint?

What kind of brain do you have?

Oh, your surname is Tang. That's alright then.

After all, none of the Tang family members are normal, and they've gotten used to it.

[Sounds pretty crappy, right?]

To be honest, while Tang Chen certainly has his problems, is Poseidon without faults?

[If you already have feelings for someone, can't you just say so?]

Why are you making such silly insinuations? Do you think you're so clever?

[To be frank, she'd probably have a grandson old enough to run errands by now, so why would she still be considered a "young woman" at over a hundred years old?]

A "young woman" who is over 100 years old?

The women all gasped, indicating that they were shocked.

Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and Tang Yuehua were filled with admiration.

At their age, sometimes it's a bit... well, you know.

It's hard to imagine what it must have felt like for Poseidon to be over a hundred years old.

"You little brat, is this something you can say?"

"And what's wrong with the young lady? Did she eat your rice?"

Poseidon's chest heaved violently, her pretty face flushed slightly, both ashamed and angry.

Wait a minute, I think I've discovered a truth.

Women: Hmm?

The four women, including Qian Renxue, looked at Su Ye without making a sound, wondering what he was going to complain about this time.

Chapter 87: A Detailed Account of Numerous Love Triangles! Another Couple Broken Up?!

I don't know about the Douluo Continent, but in my hometown there's a saying: "Women don't love men who aren't a little bad."

[There's also the saying, "Deep affection is always betrayed!"]

I used to understand these two sentences, but not deeply.

But after reviewing so many love triangles, I've found that this statement is absolutely true.

The women were all stunned when they saw this.

But before they could think it through, Su Ye continued writing:

[First up is the group of Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and Yu Xiaogang.]

Although the Secret Chamber Douluo wasn't anything special, it was clearly much stronger than Yu Xiaogang.

[As for their devotion, they practically spoiled Bibi Dong like a child.]

[As for Yu Xiaogang, he's a complete waste of space and scumbag; he doesn't give anything, only takes.]

[By using Bibi Dong to research the Spirit Hall's theories, and indirectly pushing her into darkness, did Bibi Dong receive even the slightest feedback from Yu Xiaogang throughout the entire process?]

While it's true that feelings shouldn't be measured by material things, is this really a valid point?

[Let's talk about the group consisting of Flander, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang.]

Regardless of whether Yu Xiaogang had already discovered Liu Erlong's identity, judging from his actions alone, did he have even a shred of love for her?

Unable to withstand the pressure, he abandoned Liu Erlong without a second thought and ran away. Did he consider her feelings even slightly?

Obviously not!

On the other hand, Flander wasn't exactly a saint either, but his love for Liu Erlong was genuine, and he stayed by her side after the initial setback.

[When they meet again twenty years later, Flander goes even further. To make Liu Erlong happy, he keeps trying to match her with Yu Xiaogang, essentially pushing his goddess towards another man. It's impossible not to believe this is true love.]

Unless there are some unusual fetishes.

Regardless of other aspects, Qian Xunji and Flander are truly no less impressive than Bi Dong and Liu Erlong.

Anyway, he's much better than that guy Yu Xiaogang.

But they all lost to that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang.

Then there's the group of Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and A Yin.

Unlike Tang Hao, Tang Xiao was not reckless or impulsive. He was steady and deeply affectionate, always remembering Ah Yin and remaining unmarried for life.

I believe Ah Yin could sense this too, but she ultimately chose Tang Hao, leading to the tragedy that followed.

If it were Don Quixote, I'm sure Ah Yin wouldn't have ended up like this.

[She's pregnant and still wandering around aimlessly; Tang Xiao would never do something like that.]

After reading Su Ye's summary, the women all fell silent.

Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and A Yin were all in a daze.

They had to admit that Su Ye was right.

The one who was clearly better to them and cared for them more was always ignored, while the one who was worse filled their hearts instead.

If I had chosen the other one back then, would things be different now...?

"what!"

The three women chuckled softly, shaking off their thoughts.

What ifs are there?

Moreover, emotions are subjective; there aren't that many "whys."

I may be blind, but I really don't like it.

Now, looking at Poseidon's group, it's actually the same.

The contrast between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu is equally striking.

First, let's talk about Qian Daoliu. This old man was hailed as a "moral benchmark" by many netizens in his previous life, which speaks volumes about his character.

He is a man of his word, perhaps even a bit old-fashioned, but in any case, his character is definitely not a problem.

On the other hand, Tang Chen woke up near the end of the original story. When he learned that the Clear Sky Sect had been forced to close its gates, he didn't care about the reason and immediately launched a tirade against the Spirit Hall and Qian Daoliu. If the circumstances hadn't prevented it, he probably would have gone to fight them.

To be fair, in the eyes of the world, and even from Tang Hao's own perspective, what happened back then was all his fault.

[It was he who killed Qian Xunji, which led to the series of events that followed.]

[But Tang Chen, on the other hand, didn't care whether Qian Daoliu's son had died or not; he just believed that the Spirit Hall was wrong to bully the Clear Sky Sect.]

[And they still have the nerve to say they were once friends?]

[Secondly, why did Tang Chen make that promise with Qian Daoliu before he left?]

The agreement stipulated that no member of the Spirit Hall was allowed to enter the ancestral land of the Clear Sky Sect until Qian Daoliu defeated Tang Chen.

[They're doing this because they don't trust Qian Daoliu.]

[Furthermore, this guy is quite contradictory. On one hand, he doesn't trust Qian Daoliu and is afraid that after he leaves, Qian Daoliu will bully the weak.]

On the one hand, they trusted Qian Daoliu's character and believed he would keep his promises.

【No, are all members of the Tang family this divided? Doing things haphazardly?】

Actually, this worry is completely unnecessary. In Tang Chen's mind, Qian Daoliu is not a friend, but someone to be wary of.

But in Qian Daoliu's heart, Tang Chen was an old friend.

In the original novel, when Qian Xunji was chasing Tang Hao and Ah Yin, he initially didn't intend to make things difficult for Tang Hao. As long as Tang Hao was sure to leave, there would be no problem.

[You should know that Tang Chen had already disappeared by this time. If it weren't for Qian Daoliu, would Qian Xunji, given his personality, have let Tang Hao go so easily?]

[It's obviously impossible. Qian Xunji is ambitious, and the three upper sects have always been a thorn in his side.]

As for the claim that Qian Xunji knew Tang Hao couldn't possibly leave and deliberately said that, that's unlikely.

To outsiders, Ah Yin is a soul beast, and Tang Hao is a human; how could there be any genuine affection between them?

[This is different from abducting an innocent woman. If the location were changed to the Star Dou Great Forest, and Ah Yin transformed into her true form, wouldn't everything become much clearer?]

[Ahem, we've gotten a bit off-topic.]

Anyway, that's the gist of it. Between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu is definitely the better person.

In terms of feelings for Poseidon, Qian Daoliu and Flander are about the same, while Tang Chen... might be a little better than Yu Xiaogang, but probably not by much.

At this moment, everyone except Bibi Dong had a direct understanding of the two mountains that once existed, including Poseidon.

After all, they hadn't known each other for very long, so she didn't really know much about either of them.

The reason I initially preferred Tang Chen was largely due to his talent; it wasn't that I loved Tang Chen as a person.
