The distant sea shimmered with golden light under the setting sun, and the clouds on the horizon resembled burning flames, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
The two sat side by side on a huge rock, enjoying the sea breeze and watching the sunset.
After a moment of silence, Su Mo suddenly spoke:
"By the way, is there anything special happening on Poseidon Island today?"
On the way here, I noticed that the entire Poseidon Island was decorated much more, and the streets were much more lively than usual.
Poseidon said softly, "Today is a full moon, which is also the Valentine's Day that Seagod Island celebrates once every seven years."
After saying that, her expression became somewhat unnatural.
Because today is a special day, and sitting here with Su Mo to watch the sunset feels like a date.
But they weren't a couple.
At this moment, Su Mo noticed the unusual expression on Poseidon's face, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He suddenly reached out and put his arm around Poseidon's slender waist.
Poseidon felt something strange at her waist, her body tensed instantly, and she looked sharply at Su Mo: "What...what are you doing?"
With her strength, she could easily dodge immediately.
Strangely, she didn't make any move.
Su Mo did not let go, his gaze fixed directly into her eyes:
"I know this might be a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask, would you like to spend this holiday with me today? Not just today, but also in the future."
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's mind went blank for a moment, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
For the first time ever, a blush appeared on her cheeks, a stark contrast to her usual aloof and indifferent demeanor.
Although she really wanted to say yes, they were simply not a good match.
After a moment's hesitation, Poseidon forced down the turmoil in her heart and slowly calmed down.
She looked at the setting sun in the distance and sighed softly, "I'm sorry... the gap between us is too big."
Chapter 135 The High Priest's Fate, A Night Tour of Sea Dragon City
"Although I don't look much older than you, I'm actually decades older than you."
Poseidon's voice was soft, tinged with a hint of bitterness:
"Moreover, you are a future god, while I am merely a high priest under the command of the Sea God. My fate has already been sealed."
Therefore, we are not suitable for each other, neither in terms of age nor status.
"Do you believe me?" Su Mo asked softly.
Poseidon paused slightly, turned her head to meet Su Mo's gaze, and nodded subconsciously.
Su Mo smiled faintly and said, "I can change your destiny."
“You… what did you say?” Poseidon’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"You may not be aware that there are actually differences in strength among the gods."
The sea god you worship is a first-level god in the divine realm, and his strength is indeed extraordinary. There are not many beings who can contend with him, but just so happens..."
Su Mo paused, then his smile deepened.
"The divine position I inherited is one of those few beings who are above the sea god."
Therefore, as long as you are with me, I can not only change your fate as the High Priest, but also take you to the realm of the gods in the future.
Since gods live almost forever, what does this age difference between us matter in the long run?
As he spoke, Su Mo reached out and gently took Poseidon's hand:
"So, are you willing to spend this year's Poseidon Island Valentine's Day with me?"
Poseidon did not respond immediately, but stared blankly at Su Mo, her heart churning with emotions.
Sacrifice was her ultimate destiny, one she knew from the day she became high priestess.
But she had believed in and revered the sea god since childhood, and she accepted this fate with equanimity.
Over the years, she has fulfilled her duties as high priestess day after day without ever complaining or considering any other possibilities.
But... if there were other options, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves?
What's more, she has finally met someone who can touch her heartstrings.
She also wanted to live on and be with the person she loved.
Just like now, quietly watching the sunrise and sunset.
Watching spring go and autumn come.
I have seen all the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in this world.
Before she knew it, Poseidon had made up her mind.
Since Su Mo has said so, what is there for me to hesitate about?
Poseidon gave a soft "hmm".
Then, she rested her head on Su Mo's shoulder, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
Su Mo felt a weight on his shoulder and a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. He didn't say anything more, but simply tightened his arms around Poseidon's waist.
There was a moment of silence.
Poseidon suddenly spoke:
"Su Mo, which faction do you come from? With your talent, you must be from a major faction on the continent."
“I come from the Spirit Hall,” Su Mo said truthfully. “My teacher is none other than the current Pope.”
Upon hearing this, Poseidon did not show any particular surprise.
Although she had lived on Seagod Island for a long time, she knew that the Spirit Hall was the largest power on the continent, with many powerful figures and unfathomable strength.
Given Su Mo's talent and strength, it is only natural that he would come from a top-tier power like the Spirit Hall.
"that……"
Poseidon suddenly looked up at Su Mo, hesitant to speak, her expression conflicted.
"Ask whatever you want," Su Mo said gently. "I will tell you the truth."
Poseidon hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Are there... other women around you?"
She knew the question was somewhat inappropriate, but she couldn't help it.
She also knew that with Su Mo's talent, background, appearance, and the composure and confidence he inadvertently exuded, all of this was fatally attractive to women.
Even someone like her, who hadn't been moved by love for nearly a century, had a deep impression of Su Mo left on her heart after only a few months of getting to know each other.
Therefore, in her opinion, Su Mo likely already has other female confidantes.
But she still secretly hoped that she was Su Mo's only one.
However, Su Mo did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Would you mind?"
Poseidon immediately understood what Su Mo meant.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words said it all.
At this moment, a sense of unease arose in Poseidon's heart, as if something was stuck in her chest, making her feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
But she quickly suppressed her displeasure.
Because she likes Su Mo and wants to be with him forever.
For someone like Su Mo to take a liking to her, be willing to help her escape her predetermined fate, and even promise to take her to the realm of gods in the future, was already her greatest fortune.
So what right do I have to be picky?
Besides, having witnessed a prodigy like Su Mo, could there be any other man in the world who could catch her eye?
the answer is negative.
Poseidon smiled faintly: "I don't mind..."
Su Mo gently rubbed her head and said softly, "I know you must be feeling a little uncomfortable, but I promise you, I will treat you all equally and will never let you down in the future."
Poseidon nodded slightly, the slight resentment in her heart dissipating somewhat because of Su Mo's words.
The two stopped talking.
The whole world seemed to quiet down, leaving only the sound of the waves and each other's heartbeats.
They nestled together, watching the sunset slowly sink below the horizon.
As the last rays of sunlight faded on the horizon, Su Mo stood up and extended his hand to Poseidon:
"Let's go, come with me to see the Valentine's Day celebration on Poseidon Island."
Poseidon looked at the outstretched hand towards her, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her hand to gently cover it.
The two figures leaped up and flew down from the mountain peak, heading towards the nearest city.
Before long, they arrived at Hailong City.
This city is managed by the Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, and is much larger than Seahorse City.
The moment they stepped through the city gate, Poseidon instinctively tightened her grip on Su Mo's hand.
Although she was a high-ranking high priestess, deep down she was a little woman who had never been in love.
It's understandable to feel nervous about engaging in such intimate behavior in public for the first time.
At this moment, Hailong City was filled with a festive atmosphere.
The streets were bustling with people, young men and women everywhere.
The moment Su Mo led Poseidon into the crowd, almost everyone's attention was drawn to them.
"Wow, look! Is that the high priest?"
"My God, it really is the High Priestess! She's holding hands with a man? Am I seeing things?"
