Chapter 50
: Due to generational difference, the Haotian Sect pursues them.
Outside the simulation, Fang Yuan was shocked. Did they not consider themselves human?
Confessing your feelings to my face?
[It was Tang Chen, whom you'd only met once, who confessed his feelings. He stood awkwardly in front of you and Poseidon, his eyes unconsciously darting towards Poseidon.]
[Actually, along the way, because of your outstanding looks, you've frequently attracted romantic attention. Both you and Poseidon have received confessions of love, but they were mostly behind your backs.]
This is the first time I've ever encountered someone confessing their feelings and pursuing me face-to-face like this.
[Poseidon immediately gripped your hand nervously, rejecting Tang Chen's expectant gaze without hesitation.]
Tang Chen's appearance is typical of the Tang family—rough and rugged, not particularly beautiful, but his confidence and domineering aura still manage to attract some people.
He was still somewhat unwilling to accept being rejected.
You, on the other hand, "coincidentally" recognized him and asked if he was Tang Chen from the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Chen nodded, confidently acknowledging his identity.
[You immediately continued, "Tang Chen, don't you already have a wife? I heard your child has already awakened a martial soul, right? How come...?"]
Tang Chen is almost twenty years older than you and Poseidon. He's already married with children who are teenagers, and his wife is still alive.
Tang Chen's expression froze, and disgust appeared in Poseidon's eyes.
It's really not a good look for a middle-aged man in his forties with a family and children to pursue a young and beautiful woman in her early twenties.
In the original novel, when Poseidon and Tang Chen met, Poseidon was over seventy years old, and Tang Chen was over ninety. The age difference was negligible, and Tang Chen's wife had already passed away, so it was natural for the two to fall in love.
[But Tang Chen is now in his forties, his wife is still alive, and his son is only a few years younger than Poseidon. They are even a generation apart, so how could they possibly fall in love?]
[Poseidon, a genius girl from Poseidon Island, also possesses pride. How could she possibly fall in love with a man old enough to be her father and become his concubine?]
[After hearing your words, Tang Chen's previously confident face instantly darkened.]
However, he managed to remain calm; he genuinely liked Poseidon and wanted to try again.
Among the younger generation of the top powers on the mainland, Tang Chen has never met you and Poseidon, and guesses that you two are probably Soul Masters from commoner or small family backgrounds.
Moreover, he comes from the Haotian Sect, one of the top three sects, and has the confidence to back it up. His wife is merely a tool sent by a subordinate family for a political alliance. If Poseidon accepts him, given his status in the Haotian Sect, he can easily make her his principal wife.
Tang Chen also voiced this idea, his gaze intense.
[Poseidon is not currently the High Priestess of Seagod Island, nor has she revealed her identity, while Tang Chen is already a Title Douluo.]
It's not uncommon for powerful men to have multiple wives and concubines on this continent. Tang Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions; on the contrary, he felt that his willingness to go to such lengths for Poseidon already showed great sincerity.
[But Poseidon was even more disgusted. As the most outstanding genius of the younger generation on Poseidon Island, she had received the best treatment since childhood. Apart from you, the son of a god, no one of her age could stand above her.]
From childhood to adulthood, all her suitors have been devoted to her; even you have never been fickle.
In reality, you are wholeheartedly focused on cultivation...
Poseidon rejected Tang Chen even more bluntly, saying that she already had a lover and that Tang Chen should treat his wife well.
This was the first time someone had spoken to him so bluntly, and Tang Chen's initial confidence and domineering aura dissipated considerably.
[You and Poseidon bypass Tang Chen who is blocking your way and leave directly.]
[You sense the murderous intent emanating from the person lurking in the shadows, a smile appearing on your face, and you take Poseidon's hand.]
Poseidon also smiled happily, her cheeks flushed, looking at you with joy.
･･････････
That night, you were attacked.
The man in black didn't care about revealing his identity; the massive Clear Sky Hammer swung down at you without hesitation.
In the eyes of this elder of the Haotian Sect, the fact that you two dared to refuse Tang Chen and look down on Tang Chen, the number one genius of the Haotian Sect, is an insult to the Haotian Sect and you must be taught a lesson.
However, his primary target is you, avoiding Poseidon; it seems he intends to kill you outright and capture Poseidon alive.
[You once again marvel at the wisdom of your father's decision to give you a combat spirit. If you had truly been a pure support spirit master, even if you had cultivated to the level of a ninety-nine Limit Douluo, you would probably have been killed today.]
[Then, he revealed his divine-level martial soul, the Rakshasa God Martial Soul.]
The simulation has progressed to this point.
Fang Yuan had probably already guessed how he would get Poseidon to willingly let him kill her.
The contents of Rakshasa's divine test were exposed, causing Poseidon to offer herself in a great crisis and be killed by herself.
However, Fang Yuan never expected that the lovers who should have been in love would become enemies after meeting earlier than expected.
Perhaps... this is the importance of timing?
·························
[Your first martial soul is the Rakshasa God Martial Soul, and your strength is still at the Soul Douluo level. Facing this Clear Sky Sect elder head-on now, you don't face much pressure and are capable of handling him.]
Poseidon also unleashes the Sea God's Martial Spirit, bestowed upon her by the Sea God, to fight alongside you.
For a moment, this elder of the Haotian Sect was even at a disadvantage.
However, the commotion attracted Tang Chen, who hadn't gone far. He quickly grasped the situation, but as a disciple of the Haotian Sect, he naturally had to help his own people.
[Using the same Haotian True Form, it slams down towards you and Poseidon.]
You deliberately let Poseidon win, got injured, and began your escape with him...
[The Haotian Sect also took the opportunity to issue arrest warrants for the two of you who insulted the Haotian Sect.]
[On your escape, severely wounded, you confided in Poseidon, revealing your true identity. Poseidon had only known you were the son of a god before, but this was the first time she knew you were the child of the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess.]
[You also told Poseidon that you have two divine sources, one from your father, the God of Food, and the other from the god Rakshasa.]
[You feel somewhat guilty. Your Rice Martial Soul hasn't been equipped with any Soul Rings yet, so you can't use the rewards from the God of Food's Trial, and the Rakshasa God's Trial hasn't officially started either. Otherwise, you wouldn't be being hunted down by the Clear Sky Sect, and you would have been able to protect her...]
