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."
Bo Saixi'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.
Bo Saixi 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?" Bo Saixi'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 Divine Realm 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 Bo Saixi's hand:
"So, are you willing to spend this year's Seagod Island Valentine's Day with me?"
Bo Saixi 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 had 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 had finally met someone who could 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.
She wanted to see all the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in this world.
In the blink of an eye, Bo Saixi had made up her mind.
Since Su Mo had said so, what was there for her to hesitate about?
Bo Saixi 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 Bo Saixi's waist.
There was a moment of silence.
Bo Saixi 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, Bo Saixi 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 was only natural that he would come from a top-tier power like the Spirit Hall.
"That..."
Bo Saixi 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."
Bo Saixi 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 him.
Therefore, in her opinion, Su Mo likely already had 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?"
Bo Saixi 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 Bo Saixi's heart, as if something was stuck in her chest, making her feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
But she quickly suppressed her displeasure.
Because she liked Su Mo and wanted 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 Divine Realm in the future, was already her greatest fortune.
So what right did she 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 was no.
Bo Saixi 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."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly, the slight resentment in her heart dissipating somewhat because of Su Mo's words.
The two fell silent.
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 Bo Saixi:
"Let's go. Come with me to see the Valentine's Day celebration on Seagod Island."
Bo Saixi looked at the outstretched hand toward 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 toward the nearest city.
Before long, they arrived at Sea Dragon City.
This city was managed by Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, and was much larger than Seahorse City.
The moment they stepped through the city gate, Bo Saixi 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 was understandable to feel nervous about engaging in such intimate behavior in public for the first time.
At this moment, Sea Dragon City was filled with a festive atmosphere.
The streets were bustling with people, young men and women everywhere.
The moment Su Mo led Bo Saixi 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?"
"Are you seeing things? The High Priest is in love? They must be here to celebrate Valentine's Day, right?"
The surrounding chatter was filled with surprise and amazement, mixed with envy and sincere blessings.
Bo Saixi's cheeks flushed instantly as she listened to the whispers around her. She hurriedly lowered her head, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
She had held the position of High Priestess for decades and was the leader of the people of Seagod Island.
But now, she and Su Mo were holding hands and strolling down the street, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
In an instant, she felt that her former dignified and majestic image had vanished.
