Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

"That's right, how about it? Isn't it a pleasant surprise?" Qian Renxue said smugly.

"Surprise my foot! You almost scared me to death," Lu Mingfei complained irritably. "Do you know I almost thought..."

"What did you think? Did you actually like men?" Seeing that Lu Mingfei had finally returned to normal, Qian Renxue couldn't help but tease him.

Lu Mingfei's expression clearly showed that he cared about her a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.

Lu Mingfei blushed. How could he possibly say such a thing? It was clearly all Qian Renxue's fault.

"Don't try to shift the blame. Do you know how much you hurt my young heart just now?" Lu Mingfei accused him, feigning anger. How could you have kept such a big thing from him for so long?

He almost cried for her back then, and now this is just deceiving his feelings? And now she's even joking about this kind of thing, it's just too much.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's indignant yet pitiful appearance, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle.

"So what do you want?" Qian Renxue asked teasingly, her eyes blinking as if she were sending electric shocks.

Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly, wanting to turn around and run away, but he, Lu, had a temper for such a big matter, and he couldn't just let it go in such a muddled way.

So he focused his energy in his dantian, staring intently at her as if an old monk were about to pass away, his eyes fixed on her without blinking, preparing to subject her to the pangs of her conscience.

However, he forgot that Qian Renxue had no conscience at all.

That kind of thing was discarded tens of thousands of years ago.

Qian Renxue stared at Lu Mingfei with great interest, as if they were playing a game of "Red Light, Green Light," while Qian Renxue simply smiled without saying a word.

Those beautiful eyes stared straight at him like Superman's heat rays, as if trying to see right through him.

Oh no! Lu Mingfei felt a chill run down his spine. This blatant gaze was something even Ultraman, let alone the abbot, couldn't withstand.

Just when Lu Mingfei felt he was about to give up, Qian Renxue broke down first and chuckled.

Lu Mingfei felt a sense of relief, but before he could come up with a declaration of victory, Qian Renxue lunged forward and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"So cute, my Mingfei."

"!!?"

Is the word "cute" used here? Did she mistake him for a Samoyed?

"In that case, I'll make it up to you," Qian Renxue whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear.

The next moment, her delicate, luscious lips pressed against Lu Mingfei's cheek.

Qian Renxue's gentle voice rang out again close to his ear: "Do you think this compensation is enough?"

Lu Mingfei shuddered. This was just too damn unfair!

Cheating! Someone's cheating! Someone's cheating! Lu Mingfei screamed inwardly, his brain completely spinning.

He now clearly understands that he is most likely being manipulated by someone.

That's so damn pathetic!

Lu Mingfei sat in the courtyard until Qian Renxue returned to her room and the sound of the door closing and locking finally pulled him back to reality.

The waves continued to surge as usual, and the sea breeze still howled. Lu Mingfei looked around like a thief, and then quietly ran back to his room.

"What a strong sour smell. Love always makes people weak, especially someone like my brother."

On the coastline, a little boy sunbathing and munching on ice cream adjusted his sunglasses and smiled as he surveyed the entire courtyard.

"But that is not shameful, because only those who know their own weaknesses can become stronger."

"But when that time comes, there will inevitably be thunder in the valleys, the sound will travel for miles, wave after wave, so are you really prepared to bear that burden?"

Chapter 272 Reunion on Seagod Island

The refreshing, moist air was intoxicating, and the outline of Poseidon Island was already clearly visible in Tang Chen's field of vision.

Only three days have passed since we set sail from Hanhai City.

The reason he could move so fast was entirely because Tang Chen used himself as the power source, pulling the small boat regardless of the wind direction or any soul beasts blocking its way, and moving forward at full speed in a straight line on the sea.

Seeing that they had finally arrived at their destination, the ten Haotian Sect disciples on the ship breathed a sigh of relief. As soul masters on land, they were naturally prone to seasickness, and the past three days had been utterly miserable.

But he dared not show it in front of his own ancestor and could only endure it. Now, things are finally alright, he can finally reach the shore.

"Poseidon, I'm here!" Tang Chen silently chanted, ignoring the group of demonic great white sharks guarding the island, and pulled the boat straight into Poseidon Island.

At the same time, Poseidon, who was resting with her eyes closed in the temple of the sea god, suddenly felt a powerful yet incredibly familiar aura approaching. She immediately got up and rushed towards the coastline.

"Xiao Bai? What happened?" Tang San, who was being tempered by the light of the sea god on the first step, immediately stepped down when he saw the commotion.

"A terrifying creature is coming; I have to go check it out." After saying this, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King plunged into the sea and vanished without a trace.

Tang San was still a little confused, but after a while, the Killing God Domain on the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly reacted.

"It's my great-grandfather!" Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went down the steps and headed towards the coastline.

On his first day at Poseidon Island, he learned from Poseidon's high priestess that she and his great-grandfather were old friends.

I didn’t expect my great-grandfather to arrive so quickly. I have a surprise for him.

Just as Tang Chen pulled the small boat onto the beach, Poseidon descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

"Poseidon, I'm back." Tang Chen looked at Poseidon's unchanging face before him, his face filled with the joy and excitement of reunion. His longing of many years had finally been relieved.

Although he ultimately failed to fulfill his promise to Poseidon and disappointed her expectations, he planned to stay there shamelessly for the rest of his days. Now that his old rival, Qian Daoliu, was no longer causing trouble, Poseidon had no reason to drive him away.

“Tang Chen.” Poseidon looked at Tang Chen, whose aura was strong but whose age was hard to conceal, and her eyes reddened slightly.

She already knew from Tang San that Tang Chen had failed the Divine Examination and didn't have much time left. If it weren't for his words back then, Tang Chen would never have ended up in this situation.

She felt nothing but deep guilt and self-blame. If she had explained everything clearly back then, things might not have turned out this way.

"I'm sorry, Poseidon, I broke my promise." Tang Chen could only use a bitter smile to cover up the bitterness in his heart. Admitting defeat in front of the woman he loved was probably the hardest thing he had ever encountered in his life.

This is why he didn't come to see Poseidon immediately after he regained consciousness; he simply didn't know how to face her.

If it weren't for the Vast Ocean Universe Cover he found this time, and the need to lead the Haotian Sect disciples to evacuate, he probably wouldn't have dared to come here to face Poseidon at the very last moment of his life.

"No, it's me who's sorry, Tang Chen. I should have told you all this a long time ago. What I said back then was just to reject Qian Daoliu's pursuit. He, like me, is a guardian of the gods and can never become a god. Actually, I accepted your feelings a long time ago. You're too foolish." Poseidon threw down the scepter in her hand and hugged Tang Chen in front of her.

Because of their pride, they missed each other for so many years, and she didn't want to continue to regret it.

Tang Chen felt like he was dreaming. It turned out that the woman he loved also loved him. At this moment, he felt like the happiest man in the world, with no regrets in this life. He also hugged Poseidon tightly, afraid that all of this was just a dream and that he would wake up in the next second.

"Click".

Suddenly a crisp sound came from the side. It turned out that a disciple of the Haotian Sect couldn't help but slap the side of the ship in excitement.

Poseidon, who was in the midst of a passionate embrace, was suddenly awakened and only then did she notice that Tang Chen had brought a boatload of people to Poseidon Island today.

Tang Chen turned around and couldn't help but glare at the rash disciple, but unfortunately, all ten disciples had already squatted down and didn't dare to raise their heads.

This is so exciting! Their ancestor actually embraced and confessed his love to a stunning beauty. Even if they don't get to join Seagod Island, it'll be enough for them to brag about when they get back to Haotian Sect.

"What brings you so many people here?" Poseidon couldn't help but ask casually.

Tang Chen sighed: "I actually wanted them to join Seagod Island, to leave a legacy for the Clear Sky Sect."

"With your strength, you can't even protect the sect?" Poseidon's beautiful eyes immediately showed confusion. She could feel the incomparably powerful force on Tang Chen's body. Even she and Qian Daoliu were probably far from being his match.

With such power, even if there are only ten years, why would one need to think about avoiding disaster?

"It's a long story." Tang Chen shook his head: "You know Qian Daoliu, he's always been narrow-minded and vengeful. This time, two Divine Examiners appeared in the Spirit Hall at the same time, one of whom is his own granddaughter."

"Furthermore, while I was away, the Haotian Sect offended a young man who also had the potential to become a god. Although I have already reached the level of a demigod, my days are numbered. I had no choice but to do my best to make arrangements for the Haotian Sect and resort to this desperate measure."

Although she had won a great victory in love, Tang Chen still couldn't help but mutter a curse about Qian Daoliu.

Poseidon didn't care about what was happening on the mainland, but she never expected that multiple chosen ones would appear at the same time.

"Do you think that boy's martial spirit is a black dragon?" Poseidon asked.

"You know Lu Mingfei?" Tang Chen was puzzled at first, then thought that Lu Mingfei's family lived in Hanhai City and must have been to Poseidon Island.

“So his name is Lu Mingfei.” Poseidon nodded. “Last time, the Sea God personally appointed him and asked me to invite him back to inherit the divine position, but he refused.”

"Is that really true?" Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Luckily he refused, otherwise I would have been too late."

"Huh?" Poseidon was taken aback.

At this moment, Tang Chen took out the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from his bosom and handed it to Poseidon as if presenting a treasure.

"What is this?" Poseidon's hand holding the scepter suddenly trembled.

"This should be the Heart of the Sea God that your Sea God Island has lost for so long. I've brought it back to you. Now you might have a chance to become a god." Tang Chen smiled gently.

But he soon noticed that Poseidon's expression seemed a little off, and he frowned, wondering if he had guessed wrong and that this thing was not the Heart of the Sea God.

Just then, Tang San, who was using his flying soul bone skill, finally arrived at the scene. Upon seeing his great-grandfather, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He was finally able to prove himself to this respected elder and show that he had the ability to lead the Clear Sky Sect to rise again.

"Great-grandfather, you've finally come! I have some good news to tell you. I have passed the Nine Trials of the Sea God and will be able to inherit the Sea God's position. I will personally avenge my father and the Haotian Sect!"

Tang San spoke confidently, saying that he would fulfill the wish that his great-grandfather could not, and that Tang Chen would surely be proud of him.

However, as soon as Tang San finished speaking, he suddenly found himself unable to move his entire body, and his hands and feet began to tremble violently involuntarily.

The next second, he met Tang Chen's gaze as he turned his head, but there was no warmth or affection in those blood-red eyes, only endless coldness and killing intent.

Tang San was overwhelmed with despair and fear: "No, how could this be, Great-Grandfather, he actually wanted to kill me?"

Chapter 273 Expelled from the Haotian Sect

This is it! This is the mouthful of teeth I want to see!

Poseidon, the god of the sea, watches over everything on the island through the sacred pillars.

He had just been approached by the God of Asura, who demanded that he cooperate with the God Realm Committee in enforcing the law and selecting a person named Tang San to pass the Sea God's test. This enraged Poseidon.

Although he really wanted to leave the realm of gods and live a carefree life as soon as possible, he wasn't going to be interested in just any trash. Wouldn't that tarnish his reputation as the Sea God?

However, under the combined pressure of the five major rogue states in the divine realm, he had no room to resist. In the end, he was just a first-level god, and the decision of the divine realm committee could directly communicate with the origin of the divine realm and bypass his authority to enforce it.

There was nothing he could do but swallow his nausea.

The so-called succession of divine positions is not as simple as passing the divine test; it must also be recognized by the origin of the divine realm before it can take effect.

Shura only asked him to obtain the Sea God position on Douluo Star. Once Tang San reaches the God Realm, whether or not he abdicates is up to the Sea God to decide.

It's merely using his inheritance location for convenience; besides, with Tang San's aptitude, he certainly has the qualifications to initiate the divine trial, so it doesn't violate the rules of the divine realm.

Furthermore, the Divine Realm Committee promised that all expenses for this divine position assessment would be provided by the Divine Realm Origin, which would have no impact on him personally and would even make the Divine Realm Committee owe him a favor, making it a sure win.

But Poseidon didn't want these benefits at all, after all, his reputation as the Sea God could easily be tarnished for eternity in his hometown of Douluo Star!

For immortal souls, face is one of the few things they care about.

But since he couldn't deal with the Five Rogues, he could only direct his anger at Tang San. There were so many places on this continent, why did you have to come to his Seagod Island to cause trouble?

He originally wanted to use the Heart of the Sea God as a hardcore divine test condition to delay Tang San for a few years, but that shameless Asura God actually interfered again and sent the item back, which almost made him faint with anger.

So when he saw Tang Chen seemingly about to kill Tang San, the Sea God was so excited he almost slapped his thigh in frustration.

"That's right, that's exactly it. We're better off without a good-for-nothing great-grandson!"

—－

Tang Chen never expected that he would meet Tang San in such a place after Tang San left the Haotian Sect.

Although Tang San had made a grave mistake, considering that Tang San was the only descendant of his lineage and possessed great fortune with a promising future, he ultimately chose to let him fend for himself.

But he never expected that Tang San would actually find this place, and even gain the approval of the Sea God and receive the Sea God's Nine Trials.

He seriously doubted what had gotten into the Sea God. Based on Tang San's actions, how could he possibly be compatible with a benevolent deity like the Sea God? He was more like an evil god like Rakshasa.

But none of that is the most crucial point. The crucial point is that, as a fellow diviner, he knows that only one person can undergo the nine trials of the gods at any given time.

Tang San has passed the Nine Trials, which means his lover Poseidon has no chance, unless Tang San fails the Divine Trial or dies.

That's why Tang Chen was so agitated at this moment; he planned to cripple Tang San directly.

No wonder he's so crazy for his lover; Tang San made it very clear just now that he'll go back for revenge once he becomes a god.

But the targets of his revenge are at least three deities.

If he had inherited the position of the Asura God, he might have had the right to say that, but the Sea God has absolutely no such possibility.

Rather than letting him inherit the divine position and go back to bring about his own destruction, it would be better to depose him now and give the opportunity to Poseidon.

Tang Chen immediately set his sights on Tang San's right leg, which was the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. If he could cut it off, Tang San would have no chance of passing the upcoming divine test.
