The Seagod Warriors on Seagod Island did not block Xiaobai. Not only was she the Seagod's mount and a friend of Seagod Island, but she was also a powerful 100,000-year soul beast.
"Huh?" Hearing Xiaobai's words, Bo Saixi's pupils contracted suddenly, and her snow-white, jade-like fingers unconsciously gripped her scepter tightly. She was very familiar with the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It was an oceanic overlord that she could only barely repel even when using the Power of the Seagod.
Yet, this powerful demigod had been defeated? This news made Bo Saixi lose her composure.
"Calm down, Xiaobai. Tell me the details."
Though shocked, Bo Saixi had a steady mind and quickly calmed down, immediately asking Xiaobai for the full account.
"Huh? Black mist, could it be a 'point of defilement'?" After hearing Xiaobai's description, Bo Saixi fell into contemplation.
Points of defilement had appeared in the ocean before, and she had sent Seagod Warriors to clear them. However, the ocean was vast, far from comparable to the land. The range that Seagod Island could detect was limited to its own jurisdiction, leaving other areas out of reach. She was no stranger to the characteristics of the points of defilement and had even personally investigated them. But she never imagined that a point of defilement could produce a powerful entity capable of defeating the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
At the same time, she understood the source of her uneasy premonition. Her gaze was fixed on the approaching dark cloud, and her brows furrowed even more.
"Everyone, come to me!"
Bo Saixi made a swift decision. Her golden scepter gently tapped the ground, and her voice was instantly transmitted in a strange way to the seven Holy Pillar Douluo.
The next moment, seven streaks of light shot out from different directions like meteors. Upon landing, seven figures clad in blue armor appeared.
"Great Priest-sama, why have you summoned us?" The seven Holy Pillar Douluo knelt on one knee, respectfully asking Bo Saixi.
"A powerful enemy is approaching. Gather the Seagod Warriors and prepare for battle." Bo Saixi's gaze remained fixed on the distance, her expression unprecedentedly grim.
"Yes!"
The Holy Pillar Douluo, who were full of questions, saw Bo Saixi's grave expression. Their hearts trembled, and they instantly realized that this enemy was no ordinary foe. In the past, even when the Spirit Hall attacked or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King provoked, they had never seen the Great Priest-sama look so serious.
As the seven Holy Pillar Douluo quickly gathered their forces and stood ready on Seagod Island, the world-shrouding dark cloud had already descended, covering Seagod Island like a massive shadow. Gale-force winds and torrential rain instantly swept over.
In that instant, everyone on Seagod Island felt as if they were being suppressed by an invisible force. Their bodies sank, and at the same time, countless negative emotions silently invaded their minds.
"As I thought!" Seeing this, Bo Saixi revealed an expression of one who had already expected this.
She lightly tapped her golden scepter. Immediately, a blue-gold Seagod's Light spread out like a tide. It was like warm sunlight piercing the haze, not only dispelling the gloom in everyone's hearts but also sweeping away the disturbing negative emotions.
"A mobile point of defilement! No wonder it's become so powerful!" Bo Saixi muttered to herself, sensing the negative energy being isolated by the Seagod's Light.
Suddenly, a terrifying divine power spread from the depths of the ocean. Everyone on Seagod Island except Bo Saixi, including Xiaobai and the seven Holy Pillar Douluo, were pressured by this sudden divine might and involuntarily fell to their knees.
Sensing this power, Bo Saixi's face instantly became extremely ugly. She said in a low voice, "Has it already developed to this extent?"
"Boom!" Following that, the deep ocean suddenly caved in, forming a massive vortex. From within the vortex, nine heads trailing wisps of black energy slowly emerged.
As the Demon God of Vortex, Osial, appeared, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. The heavy rain poured down. The entire ocean seemed to be churned up, falling into a state of chaotic frenzy.
"A level 100 true god!" Bo Saixi gritted her silver teeth, speaking one word at a time. Her face was now as ugly as it could be. She was filled with regret, hating herself for not taking large-scale action to clear the points of defilement when they first appeared, which had allowed them to grow and produce such a terrifying monster.
Although Osial had no intelligence or a divine position, it had reached the level of a god. No wonder the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had fled in a panic. After all, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the most powerful being below a god, and only a true god could defeat it.
With the unique characteristics of this mobile point of defilement, it was unknown how many points of defilement it had swallowed to unknowingly nurture such a god-level monster. Although Osial was far inferior to a true god with a divine position and lacked intelligence, it controlled the power of the vortex. In this vast ocean and even the entire Douluo Continent, it was already an invincible existence.
However, regret was useless.
Bo Saixi took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions. She then raised her scepter high, using all her strength to mobilize the Power of the Seagod, trying to wrest some control of the ocean from Osial.
The seawater rapidly swelled and condensed, instantly transforming into a thousand-meter-tall sea giant. The giant's hands plunged into the ocean, slowly pulling out a trident condensed from seawater, and then it thrust it fiercely toward Osial.
Bo Saixi's first move was a huge attack because she knew that these monsters from the points of defilement could not be reasoned with. Since they had already come knocking, they would not be easily appeased.
Osial was just as unyielding. Its nine heads tilted back, and blue orbs of light quickly condensed. Following that, beams of water element light containing the power of the vortex shot out like lasers, instantly blasting several huge holes in the sea giant. The residual power landed on Seagod Island, causing a series of violent roars that shook the entire island.
The seven Holy Pillar Douluo, with the help of the Seagod's Light, finally broke free from the suppression of the divine power. Seeing this, they all took action, trying to stop the aftermath of the explosions from causing further damage to Seagod Island. Although they could not intervene in the battle between Bo Saixi and Osial on the main battlefield, they had to protect the Seagod believers on Seagod Island.
Bo Saixi's brows furrowed. She made a decisive move, using her authority as the Great Priest to activate the Seagod Barrier. In an instant, a blue-gold barrier, like a solid shield, enveloped all of Seagod Island.
But the next moment, she had no time to worry about the safety of Seagod Island, because Osial had emerged halfway from the ocean. The giant vortex, like a greedy beast, madly swept toward her, attempting to devour the sea giant she had created.
With the aid of the Seagod's divine power, Bo Saixi briefly had the strength of a demigod. However, against Osial, she was still overwhelmed, gradually being completely suppressed.
"Oh!" Just as Bo Saixi was struggling and the situation became more critical, a soft exclamation came from deep within Seagod Island. The next moment, a dazzling golden light shot out like lightning.
On the outside, the thousand-meter-tall sea giant had been completely swallowed by the vortex. Bo Saixi was also knocked away by a divine light condensed from pure water elements. Her red clothes were stained with blood, becoming even more vivid. The vivid red looked incredibly tragic and beautiful.
"Great Priest-sama!" Seeing this, the faces of the seven Holy Pillar Douluo all showed shock and despair. In their memory, Bo Saixi, who was hailed as invincible in the ocean, had never been so battered, not even when facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Back then, the three human powerhouses fought each other, and it was Bo Saixi who ultimately won. The so-called invincible in the sky and invincible on land were no match for her. They had never seen Bo Saixi in such a state.
Just then, a golden light, like a meteor, flew out from the depths of Seagod Island and stopped steadily in front of Bo Saixi.
"This is! The Seagod's Trident, Lord Seagod!" Bo Saixi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Seeing the sudden appearance of the Seagod's Trident, she instantly understood that the Seagod had come to her aid.
As the place of the Seagod's legacy, the Seagod would naturally not stand by and watch Seagod Island be destroyed. Although the Seagod's main body could not personally intervene, and the divine sense clone responsible for choosing an inheritor could not easily interfere, using the divine artifact, the Seagod's Trident, was not restricted.
Understanding this, Bo Saixi no longer hesitated and took hold of the Seagod's Trident. With the blessing of the Seagod's divine power, even though she was not the Seagod's inheritor, she could still use this powerful divine artifact, which was the closest thing to an ultra-divine artifact.
Holding the Seagod's Trident, Bo Saixi unleashed her Seagod Domain, once again engaging in a fierce struggle with Osial, attempting to regain control of the ocean. In this vast sea, whoever could control the ocean would be the final victor.
The battle once again entered a heated phase. Mountains collapsed and tsunamis raged. Terrifying energy fluctuations spread, frightening the nearby sea soul beasts and causing them to scatter and flee.
"You are such a naughty boy, making such a mess of this world!"
The Pink Fairy Miss, who had just arrived in this world, acutely sensed the intense battle fluctuations coming from all directions. She even faintly felt the aura of a familiar person. She slowly opened her dreamlike blue eyes and said with a slight hint of annoyance.
"I don't deny that, my cute, charming, beautiful, and pure Pink Fairy Miss." Lu Jingming spread his hands, admitting it frankly. He had never labeled himself as a good person. He was just an ordinary person with some ambition who had the good fortune to get a cheat.
"Even if you praise me, I won't be happy."
Although the Pink Fairy Miss said so, her slightly squinted eyes and the unconscious smile on her face revealed her true feelings.
"Möbius is here too, Elysia. She'll be very happy to see you."
Lu Jingming glanced at this somewhat narcissistic Pink Fairy. Although Elysia's figure was perfect, the first thing that came to his mind when he saw her was the phrase "pink fat lady." After all, that nickname had left a deep impression on him, making it hard to forget.
"I have a feeling you're thinking of something bad!"
Elysia put her hands on her hips and glared slightly at Lu Jingming. Her keen intuition told her that he must have been thinking something very rude about her.
"Well, if Möbius is here, I wonder if she'll wear the little pink dress I gave her to welcome me."
Elysia said, her face filled with anticipation.
"No way, Elysia. Not unless you get Aponia to help 'persuade' her to wear it."
Lu Jingming said helplessly. Elysia was still thinking about the little pink dress she gave to Möbius. However, when he thought about Möbius in a pink dress, he himself suddenly felt a little excited. What was going on?
"You should call me Sister Ely. How rude."
Elysia rolled her eyes, reached out, and pinched Lu Jingming's cheek, gently kneading it. She was having a great time playing with his handsome face as it contorted in her hands.
"Stop it, you pink fat lady!"
Lu Jingming gritted his teeth. He should have known better than to give Elysia so much power. Now she was bullying him in return.
"Rumble!" Hearing Lu Jingming's words, Elysia's body stiffened as if struck by lightning.
"That's so mean! Giving a beautiful girl a nickname like that! Where am I fat?"
Elysia said through gritted teeth. The strength in her hand unconsciously increased. Even she was angered by Lu Jingming's "pink fat lady" comment.
"If you still want to see Eden and the others, you'd better show me some respect!" Lu Jingming also said through gritted teeth. Although Elysia wasn't using much strength, just a playful amount, being suppressed by a girl like this would completely ruin his carefully crafted image as a genius and a powerful man if anyone saw them. Especially since he and Elysia were at Tianshui Academy right now. If anyone saw them, all the street credibility he had worked so hard to maintain in front of Shui Bing'er and the others would be gone.
"Oh, don't be mad. Getting angry makes you old. It would be a shame for such a handsome face to get old."
Elysia immediately gave in, putting her hands together and looking at Lu Jingming pitifully. Although he knew this woman was faking it, the lethality was too great. After all, this was Elysia! He couldn't resist.
Amen to Ely!
"We're even. Now let's talk about the little pink dress."
Lu Jingming wasn't really mad, and calling Elysia a "pink fat lady" was indeed a bit much. He was sure that when he said that, even with Elysia's lively, cheerful, and pure personality, she was definitely infuriated. After all, Elysia was a little narcissistic. How could she not care about such an unfriendly nickname for a girl?
However, even so, she could still use such a flirty manner to subtly build a good relationship with Lu Jingming. She truly was a social terrorist. Even though she had just been summoned and this was their first meeting, they were acting like old friends. If Elysia weren't so good at livening up the atmosphere, he wouldn't have forgotten that they had just met and used such a rude nickname.
With her unique personality and strong charisma, it was no wonder everyone liked her. No one could truly resist the charm of the Pink Fairy Miss!
"Young Master Lu, who is this?" Just then, a knock came from the door.
After Lu Jingming gave his approval, Shui Bing'er opened the door and entered the room. The moment she saw Elysia, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Oh, what a pretty girl! Hello, I'm Elysia. You can call me Sister Ely."
Before Lu Jingming could reply, Elysia's eyes lit up when she saw Shui Bing'er. She instantly appeared in front of her, intimately took her hand, and enthusiastically introduced herself.
"So fast!" Shui Bing'er was first startled by Elysia's speed, then she looked at Lu Jingming awkwardly, her eyes filled with a plea for help. It was her first time meeting such an enthusiastic girl, and Elysia was just too beautiful!
Shui Bing'er marveled inwardly. Tianshui Academy was an all-girls academy, and they had extremely high standards for their students' appearances. Those who weren't beautiful weren't even qualified to enroll. Even though she had grown up in an environment full of beauties, she had never seen a girl as perfect and pure as Elysia.
Elysia's appearance was pure and beautiful, her temperament elegant and noble, and her whole body exuded an enchanting charm. Although it was their first meeting and Elysia's actions were a little bold, Shui Bing'er didn't feel the slightest bit of repulsion.
Lu Jingming helplessly covered his forehead. He had almost forgotten that the Pink Fairy Miss was a yuri in the Elysian Realm. It seemed he needed to warn all the girls at home to be cautious.
"Alright, Ely, don't scare her." Lu Jingming shook his head helplessly, speaking up to help Shui Bing'er. This made her look at him gratefully. Although Shui Bing'er didn't dislike Elysia and even had a good impression of her, she stated that she was straight, and Elysia's overly enthusiastic actions made her a little uncomfortable.
"Hello, Sister Ely. My name is Shui Bing'er!"
Elysia knew that too much was too much and let go of Shui Bing'er's hand. Shui Bing'er also obediently called her "Sister," which made Elysia very happy.
"Shui Bing'er, hmm, that's a nice name. It fits your style perfectly!"
Elysia praised her. Shui Bing'er's ice-style attire did indeed complement her name.
"Young Master Lu, my aunt has woken up. She wanted to thank you personally, but she just recovered, and her body needs to recuperate, so my mother stopped her. As for the merchant guild you requested, we have already sent people to start the preparations."
Shui Bing'er had come this time mainly to convey this message to Lu Jingming. Earlier, he had already met with her mother, and they had reached an agreement. In gratitude for saving her sister, Shui Ming'er, Tianshui Academy was willing to provide people, resources, and funding to help Lu Jingming establish a merchant guild from scratch.
"That's good. From now on, Elysia will stay here and be in charge of the merchant guild. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can come to her."
Lu Jingming said, pointing to Elysia. He did not intend to send anyone else to manage the guild's daily operations. Instead, he would fully entrust it to Tianshui Academy. However, the merchant guild needed a powerful and intimidating individual to be in charge. This would not only deter those with ill intentions but also restrain any potential instability within Tianshui Academy.
Although Lu Jingming trusted Shui Bing'er and the others, he knew that there were many people at Tianshui Academy, and not everyone could see the bigger picture. Every organization inevitably had some ignorant fools. He didn't want any unnecessary trouble to cause an unpleasant rift with Tianshui Academy. Therefore, he had to nip any potential problems in the bud from the start.
Moreover, Elysia's mission was more than just being in charge of the merchant guild. Her most important duty was to act as a backstop for the Douluo Continent. If the crisis caused by the points of defilement spiraled out of control and the native forces of the Douluo Continent were unable to cope, Elysia would have to step in and resolve it. After all, Lu Jingming's goal was to help the Douluo Star grow and use the feedback from the planet to condense a divine position, not to destroy the Douluo Continent.
Shui Bing'er was surprised to hear this. Although Elysia had shown great speed, she appeared to be only a little older than her. It was hard to tell how powerful she was. However, since Lu Jingming was confident enough to entrust her with the important task of managing the merchant guild, she must have some extraordinary abilities. After all, Shui Bing'er had personally experienced Lu Jingming's power. Within Tianshui Academy, only her mother was qualified to be his equal.
"Young Master Lu, what should the merchant guild be named?" Shui Bing'er asked. Although Tianshui Academy was handling the establishment of the guild, it was still his, and the goods would be provided by him, so the name should naturally be decided by him.
"Hmm, let's call it Jade Chamber!" Lu Jingming pondered for a moment and used the name of Ningguang's Jade Chamber. He was too lazy to think of a new name.
"Jade Chamber, what a great name! You can tell it was named by a beautiful girl. Ah Ming, you didn't name this, did you?"
Elysia's eyes lit up when she heard the name. With her keen intuition, she was certain that a poetic and beautiful name like this could not have been thought up by a "straight man" like Lu Jingming. It was most likely the work of a pretty girl.
Indeed, in Elysia's mind, Lu Jingming had been labeled a "straight man." After all, what else could you call a man who would call a beautiful girl a "pink fat lady" to her face?
"Your intuition is spot on. I didn't name this. Ningguang did. I'll introduce you two if I get the chance." Lu Jingming looked at Elysia with some surprise. He thought that Ningguang and Elysia would get along well. Eden and Elysia were very close. Eden was a rich lady, and Ningguang was also a rich lady. Therefore, it was logical that Ningguang could also become good friends with Elysia. This logic was flawless.
Elysia...
