Chapter 178: An Unexpected Encounter at Sea God Island, Uninvited Guest, Tang Chen.
As the door made a slight noise, Dugu Yan pushed it open and first peeked out her small head.
Upon seeing Qin Xiao sitting on the bed with a stern face, her little face instantly turned red.
Qin Xiao said irritably, "Aren't you looking for me? Come in then."
"Okay," Dugu Yan responded and walked in.
It was then that Qin Xiao noticed that Dugu Yan's outfit was also quite revealing.
A white crop top that perfectly accentuated her slender waist.
Blue canvas shorts that beautifully showcased her long, straight legs in front of Qin Xiao.
Her outfit perfectly encapsulated words like youth and vitality.
At this moment,
Dugu Yan had already come up to Qin Xiao.
"Your Highness, I can't sleep, can we talk?" she asked.
Dugu Yan was initially looking down but then, as if she had realized something, she suddenly looked up at Qin Xiao unafraid.
"What would you like to talk about?" Qin Xiao asked calmly.
Instead of answering Qin Xiao's question directly, Dugu Yan boldly took his hand.
"You this—"
Qin Xiao was speechless, thinking, we could just talk, why do you have to take advantage of me?
Isn't this a bit too much?
Dugu Yan sighed deeply and then made a move that greatly surprised Qin Xiao.
She actually placed Qin Xiao's hand on her chest.
"Hmm?" Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, well, well.
He had some guesses about Dugu Yan's intentions, but he hadn't expected her to be so bold.
However, the bouncy sensation in his palm made him unconsciously grip a little tighter.
"Mm,"
In contrast, Meng Yiran just felt a tickling sensation spreading throughout her body, leaving her feeling weak.
She naturally fell into Qin Xiao's arms.
Under the bed.
Ning Rongrong didn't need to look to know what was happening.
For a moment, she didn't know how to feel, constantly cursing Qin Xiao in her mind, calling him a bad guy, insatiable.
But soon, she realized another problem—was she just going to listen to Qin Xiao possibly doing something with Dugu Yan?
She panicked.
I should be on the bed, not under it.
"Your Highness, are you there?" she called out.
Just then, Ning Rongrong heard a voice outside the door and felt like help had arrived.
"Oh no, Zhu Qing is here."
Dugu Yan, like a startled rabbit, suddenly wriggled out of Qin Xiao's arms.
"It's over, it's over, what should I do now?"
Dugu Yan anxiously spun in place.
Finally, after looking around the room, her gaze settled under the bed.
"I suggest you don't do this,"
Qin Xiao whispered in warning.
But Dugu Yan didn't care at that moment and dived under the bed.
It's either a blessing or a disaster that cannot be avoided. Qin Xiao called out to the outside, "Come in."
The next moment, Zhu Qing and Meng Yiran walked into the room.
"It's so late, and you're still not asleep?"
Qin Xiao asked with a smile.
"We thought we should keep you company,"
Meng Yiran whispered back.
Very good, excellent, Qin Xiao was moved.
He liked proactive approaches.
Just everyone gathered together, what a coincidence.
As Zhu Qing was about to say something, a scream suddenly came from under the bed.
"Ah!"
"A ghost!"
Then everyone saw Dugu Yan, dressed in a white crop top, hurriedly crawling out from under the bed.
"Dugu Yan, what are you doing?" Zhu Qing and Meng Yiran looked utterly astonished.
"There's something under the bed, it tried to cover my mouth," Dugu Yan pointed under the bed, her face still showing signs of shock.
"Alright, alright."
"Dugu Yan, can you stop screaming?" At that moment, another grumbling voice came from under the bed as Ning Rongrong crawled out.
"Rongrong, how come it's you?" Seeing Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan was stunned.
"Why am I under the bed? It's a long story, very similar to yours. Better left unsaid."
"Then why did you cover my mouth?"
"I was afraid you'd find me and make unnecessary noise. It just backfired," Ning Rongrong explained helplessly, spreading her hands.
Uh, my bad." Dugu Yan's face showed an unnatural expression.
But, if you think about it, there was nothing wrong with what Ning Rongrong did.
"Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, how come you two are here?" At this moment, Zhu Qing's cold voice rang out, eyeing the two warily.
Right away.
Ning Rongrong answered, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not here to assassinate Qin Xiao."
Dugu Yan responded, "If I said I got lost and couldn't find my way back to my room, you probably wouldn't believe that, right? Ha, haha."
She tried to defuse the awkwardness with a joke.
However, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
"Ha ha, since everyone is here, let's do something different today," Qin Xiao's laughter broke the awkwardness, attracting everyone's gaze.
Some were puzzled, some frowned.
Ning Rongrong said somewhat awkwardly, "Qin Xiao, all of us together, that might not be appropriate... I think there's a process."
Qin Xiao shook his head, "I was planning to teach you a game called mahjong. This game can't be played with too few people."
"Oh, I see," Ning Rongrong realized, rubbing her fists, "So, who will be the mahjong?"
Qin Xiao: "."
Dawn breaks.
Over the seas surrounding Sea God Island, Bo Saixi stood suspended in the air.
She maintained this posture for a long time.
Finally.
Her expression changed slightly, and she frowned, "You've finally arrived."
As her words fell, Qin Xiao's figure appeared in front of her.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "Sorry for the delay due to some issues."
Last night, he had taught everyone mahjong.
However.
Zhu Qing, Meng Yiran, and the others, as if not wanting anyone to succeed, refused to leave, battling until dawn.
"No need to explain."
Bo Saixi spoke, taking out a stick of incense, "Let's begin then."
As she flicked her finger, the incense stick shot towards Sea God Island like a meteor, then was caught by the Sea Dragon Douluo who had been waiting there to witness the great battle.
The incense was lit at that moment.
"Be careful." As Bo Saixi's voice echoed over the sea, waves tens of meters high surged.
A formidable pressure bore down.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao's expression turned grave.
"Indeed, an invincible force of the sea, your strength is truly extraordinary."
Qin Xiao's gaze sharpened, taking her seriously.
He could see that Bo Saixi, acting on the will of the Sea God, was not holding back.
If it really came to a head-on confrontation, Qin Xiao would find it challenging to fight such a formidable opponent.
However.
The Sea God's requirement was not for him to fight Bo Saixi head-on, but merely to last the duration of one stick of incense without being defeated.
A direct confrontation would be difficult, but evasion was much easier.
With a thought, Qin Xiao turned into a flash of lightning, continuously shifting around the sea.
No matter how strong Bo Saixi's attacks were, they couldn't touch Qin Xiao.
"Qin Xiao's speed is really unmatched."
"Yeah, looking at it this way, the Grand Priest really has a hard time defeating Qin Xiao."
"Qin Xiao is really too exceptional."
."
On Sea God Island, the seven pillar guardians closely watched the battle.
Only at this moment did they truly understand Qin Xiao's strength; even the Grand Priest could do nothing against him, rounding up, isn't he almost a level ninety-nine Title Douluo?
Looking at him and then at ourselves, it really feels like we've wasted our lives.
"Qin Xiao, do you really think you can keep this up for the duration of one stick of incense?"
A cold light flashed in Bo Saixi's eyes.
The next moment, she suddenly raised her golden scepter high.
From the diamond-shaped azure gem at its top, a bright blue light burst forth.
Qin Xiao's face changed dramatically, "Is that necessary? Even using the Sea God's power?"
He realized he had to retreat further to be safe.
However.
Once Bo Saixi had made her move, how could she give Qin Xiao a chance?
"Divine Might as Prison!"
"Hmph!"
"Nine Heavens Lightning!"
Qin Xiao snorted coldly, and at that moment, the void exploded.
Three blurry world illusions appeared behind Qin Xiao.
"My god, am I seeing things? Qin Xiao, under the divine suppression of the Grand Priest, can still use soul skills?"
"Now that you see it clearly, it's not an illusion."
"Isn't this too outrageous? How could anyone release skills under such suppression?"
"."
On Sea God Island, the seven pillar guardians were all dumbfounded.
They had experienced the power of Divine Might as Prison before, and they still remembered it vividly.
Even when the seven of them joined forces under Divine Might as Prison, they couldn't even stir up a wave, let alone break free from the restraint.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the heavens and earth suddenly shook, emitting thunderous sounds.
Only to see that the three blurry world illusions behind Qin Xiao had overlapped.
Streams of seven-colored light emerged.
Qin Xiao stood there, and the sea dragon formed by Bo Saixi's released seawater directly shattered.
"Now, let the Grand Priest take my blow."
With a thought, Qin Xiao gathered the Nine Heavens Lightning between his palms. Then he struck out, and the Nine Heavens Lightning turned into a streak of light sweeping towards Bo Saixi.
"Crisis!"
Bo Saixi frowned, realizing Qin Xiao's extraordinary nature.
She turned her staff horizontally in front of her, and her vermilion lips uttered four words again, "Divine Grace as the Sea!"
Swish!
The power of the Sea God surged and formed a deep blue shield in front of her.
Although the shield appeared thin, it possessed unimaginable power.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens Lightning fiercely struck the shield of the Sea God's power.
Bo Saixi suffered a terrifying impact, her figure constantly retreating in the void.
"This, this"
In the distance, the guardians on Sea God Island were all stunned.
They all heard very clearly that even when the Grand Priest used divine power to defend, she was still pushed back?
How powerful was Qin Xiao's attack?
It's unbelievable!
In contrast, Qin Xiao didn't follow up after his attack succeeded.
Firstly, he had just expended a lot of energy, and his spiritual power was almost depleted. He needed some time to recover and couldn't launch a stronger attack for the time being.
Secondly, as mentioned earlier, the purpose of this battle was not to determine a winner or loser, but for Qin Xiao to withstand Bo Saixi's suppression for the duration of one stick of incense.
Qin Xiao glanced at the incense held by the Sea Dragon Douluo in the distance, which was almost burnt out.
Unless something unexpected happened, this competition would end in this way.
In fact, it did end as Qin Xiao had imagined.
After a moment, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Qin Xiao.
"Assessment passed, reward: Sea God's Affinity increased by five percent."
"Success!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Xiao's face.
"Congratulations."
Bo Saixi appeared in front of Qin Xiao at some point, her expression complex.
Qin Xiao didn't get conceited; he clasped his hands and smiled, "Thank you for your kind words."
"Damn kid, there's a road to heaven you don't take, and you barge into hell. I never expected you to be here!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out in the arena.
Qin Xiao and Bo Saixi both looked towards the source of the voice.
Where their gazes landed, a man wearing a blood-red cloak appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
Qin Xiao furrowed his brows, "Tang Chen?"
Bo Saixi exclaimed, "Tang Chen?"
