Chapter 288. The Three Members of the Tang Family: Grandpa (Great-Grandpa), Please Calm Down.
"Xi Xi." Tang Chen's eyes were filled with infatuation and ecstasy. He hadn't expected Xi Xi to act so girlishly.
Wait a minute, why would Xi Xi show such an expression in front of Qian Xunji?
Tang Chen's rugged face showed great confusion.
After a moment, Poseidon made up her mind and whispered, "Qian Xunji, on behalf of Seagod Island, I want to form a marriage alliance with your Spirit Hall."
Having mustered the courage to say this, Poseidon saw Qian Xunji looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"What did you just say?"
Hearing this, Poseidon wished she could summon her spirit and kill this guy.
"Qian Xunji, on behalf of Seagod Island, I want to form a marriage alliance with your Spirit Hall." Poseidon said louder.
"Louder still," Qian Xunji said. That damned thief!
Poseidon gritted her teeth, deciding to go all out. She said, "Qian Xunji, on behalf of Seagod Island, I wish to arrange a marriage alliance with your Spirit Hall."
In the Hall of Offerings, Qian Daoliu subconsciously stood up, his heart brimming with joy.
"Great! Great! Xixi has accepted me! Hahahaha, I will give Xixi everything that is best in the world!"
The other offerings, seeing the Grand Elder's infatuated expression, were all speechless. Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect looked on in disbelief.
"Impossible, this is impossible! Hasn't Xixi always loved me?"
"Grandpa, calm down, calm down." Tang Xiao quickly said, "Grandpa, when Senior Poseidon said that Seagod Island was going to form a marriage alliance with the Spirit Hall, she wasn't referring to Qian Daoliu and Poseidon. Think about it, there are other female spirit masters on Seagod Island, like the Sea Maiden Douluo. Senior Poseidon loves you so much, how could she fall for someone else?"
"Yes, yes!" Tang Hao comforted him, "Senior Poseidon has always loved you, Grandpa."
Tang Chen also calmed down. He realized he had overreacted. But why would Seagod Island want to form a marriage alliance with the Spirit Hall?
Qian Xunji said, "Seagod Island wants to form a marriage alliance with the Spirit Hall. Could it be that Seagod Island has taken a liking to the talent of my Spirit Hall's successor, Qian Renxue? Poseidon, let me be frank, Qian Renxue will not marry outside the island."
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Poseidon's face turned red. "I already said, I'm representing Seagod Island in this marriage alliance with your Spirit Hall, didn't you understand? Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"No," Poseidon said, her face still red. "Your Holiness, I'm not here to arrange a marriage between Qian Renxue and the Seagod Island spirit master, I'm here..."
"What are you here for?" Qian Xunji looked at Poseidon with a puzzled expression.
"I've come to propose marriage to you." Upon hearing this, Poseidon was so ashamed she almost wanted to disappear into the ground.
Qian Xunji was shocked, and Tang Yuehua behind him was even more incredulous.
Qian Daoliu was shocked, while the other elders looked on with strange expressions.
"So, Xixi didn't come to propose to me, but to propose to my son... this..."
What was going on? For a moment, Qian Daoliu felt as if the whole world was playing a cruel joke on him; he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Xixi... Xixi is proposing to Qian Xunji? This is impossible, impossible! Xixi should only have me in her heart." Tang Chen stood up and said.
"Grandpa, please calm down, Grandpa, please calm down." Tang Hao quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, we've all witnessed Senior Poseidon's love for you. She's not the kind of person who would fall in love with someone else. I think she must have said something wrong."
Tang Xiao also said, "Yes, yes, Senior Poseidon just misspoke. Grandpa, calm down, you need to calm down."
After a little reassurance, Tang Chen sat back down, his face still filled with disbelief.
Qian Xunji recovered from his brief shock.
"Senior Poseidon, did I hear that right? You've come to propose marriage to me???"
Tang Yuehua couldn't help but ask, "Senior Poseidon, are you sure you're not mistaken? I remember you liked my grandfather."
Hearing this, Poseidon was stunned, looking at Tang Yuehua with shock. Her voice trembled as she asked, "You...you are...?"
"I am Tang Yuehua, Tang Chen's grandfather's granddaughter."
"Tang Yuehua? You're here??" Poseidon said with a forced smile.
Poseidon's face, which had just calmed down, flushed red again, and at the same time, her hatred for Qian Xunji grew even stronger.
Her note to Qian Xunji instructed them to meet secretly, but Qian Xunji had arranged for so many people in the reception room, even bringing his old friend's granddaughter. He was practically asking for trouble.
However, Poseidon was already doomed, so it didn't matter.
"Senior Poseidon, you haven't answered my question yet. You've come to propose marriage to me???" Qian Xunji asked, frowning.
Poseidon wanted to kill Qian Xunji at this moment. This kind of question—you haven't heard it once enough, and you still ask? Don't you have any shame?
But, but, but losing love, losing so much, losing faith, losing everything—all for the faith of the Sea God, all of this for the faith of the Sea God.
Poseidon silently recited a few words to herself. Since the situation was pretty much over anyway, it didn't matter. Gone was her previous shyness; she regained her composure and calm. She took a deep breath and said, "That's right. Seagod Island wants to form a marriage alliance with the Spirit Hall. The bride and groom are me and you, Pope Qian Xunji of the Spirit Hall." Qian Daoliu of the Angel Temple couldn't bear to watch any longer. His goddess was proposing to his son? What was going on?
If this really happened, how could he, Qian Daoliu, face his daughter-in-law?
*Poseidon, if you like Ji'er, why don't you consider me? You could marry me and bring Ji'er maternal love. Am I not even as good as my own son?* Qian Daoliu's heart suddenly felt humbled.
At this moment, Tian'e put a hand on Qian Daoliu and said, "Brother, take it easy. Although Xixi doesn't like you, if she marries the Pope, at least you'll be family. It's better than her marrying Tang Chen."
"Yes, brother, your son has gotten Poseidon. Doesn't that prove you're better than Tang Chen? At least Tang Chen's son is already a 'human rod' now," Kuangshi Shangfu comforted him.
The other Shangfu also offered their consolation.
Qian Daoliu sighed. Actually, he had already given up hope of whether Poseidon liked him or not, but the fact that Poseidon had proposed to his son, Qian Xunji, was something Qian Daoliu hadn't expected.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Xixi loves me! Xixi, have you forgotten our vows?" Tang Chen stood up, clearly on the verge of exploding.
"Grandpa, calm down, calm down, Grandpa!" Tang Xiao stretched out one arm to comfort Tang Chen, saying, "Great-grandfather, Poseidon is from your generation. No matter what, she wouldn't lower herself to propose marriage to an old friend's son. There must be something fishy going on here. Calm down, great-grandfather." Tang San comforted Tang Chen.
