Chapter 296. The Sea God Serves Poseidon.
The next day, a fact that shocked Poseidon was that Qian Xunji had actually become a god.
She had asked Qian Xunji why he wasn't worried about Tang San becoming a god and seeking revenge on the Spirit Hall after becoming the Asura God.
Poseidon had only asked this question to annoy Qian Xunji, but Qian Xunji's reply greatly surprised her:
"I don't care!"
At this moment, Poseidon was troubled. She liked Tang Chen, especially after yesterday. After learning about Tang Chen's predicament, she felt even more guilty towards him. But last night, she had done something that betrayed Tang Chen.
Sea God, Sea God, why did you make me do this?
How am I supposed to face Tang Chen now?
Qian Xunji saw through Poseidon's thoughts and said playfully, "You're still thinking about your Tang Chen, aren't you?"
"Hmph!" Poseidon glanced coldly at Qian Xunji and didn't say anything.
Qian Xunji said, "You haven't forgotten what the Grand Elder's mission is, have you? If there's no successor, that's fine, but if there is, then..."
Tang Chen's life is already on a countdown! Poseidon's pupils trembled slightly, then she sighed—back then, so close, so very close, she liked Tang Chen and wanted to accept him subtly, so she said, "Whoever among you can become a god, I will love them." But Tang Chen, that blockhead, left with the words, "If I don't become a god, I won't come back," and left. They wasted decades of time together.
Could it be that they were destined to be together but not to be?
The more Poseidon thought about it, the more agitated and unwilling she became!
"Alright, now that you're here at the Spirit Hall, forget about Tang Chen." Qian Xunji crossed his arms and called to the servant hiding to the side, "Xiao Dongzi."
"This servant is here!" Xiao Dongzi stepped forward.
"From now on, you will be fully responsible for Poseidon's daily life. You must take good care of her," Qian Xunji said.
Upon hearing Qian Xunji's words, Xiao Dongzi immediately felt a deep sense of malice emanating from him.
"You want me to serve her?" Xiao Dongzi couldn't help but ask.
He was the Sea God, and Poseidon was his servant! In other words, Poseidon was the Sea God's slave; the two were of equal rank, with the Sea God being superior and Poseidon inferior—a clear hierarchy.
And Qian Xunji actually wanted the noble Sea God to serve his slave?
"What, you have a problem with that?" Qian Xunji's voice was sharp as a beacon as he spoke to Xiao Dongzi, "You dog slave, don't try to use your divine logic. In my Spirit Hall, Poseidon is your mistress, and you're just a lowly servant. Serve her well, or I'll make you wish you were dead, understand?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's threat, the Sea God broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Master, this servant will certainly serve you well."
"Also, remember this: don't reveal your Sea God identity in front of Poseidon!"
"Yes, sir!"
Qian Xunji introduced Xiao Dongzi to Poseidon, "From now on, he'll be in charge of taking care of your daily life. Just let him handle anything."
"Thank you, but I don't need it," Poseidon said coldly.
"You need it, even if you don't." Qian Xunji patted Xiao Dongzi's shoulder again, threatening Poseidon, "Poseidon, I only feel at ease with Xiao Dongzi by your side. Although Xiao Dongzi is a lackey, don't doubt the abilities of this lowly dog!"
Poseidon snapped out of her daze and glanced at Xiao Dongzi. So he was a spy planted by that scoundrel Qian Xunji.
But she felt a familiar feeling about Xiao Dongzi, like the feeling the sea god had given her.
Soon, Poseidon realized her thoughts were absurd. She was actually comparing the Sea God to a lowly dog beside Qian Xunji?
This was blasphemous!
Poseidon glanced coldly at Xiao Dongzi and said to Qian Xunji, "I can order him around however I want?"
"Do as you please, just don't kill him." Qian Xunji patted Xiao Dongzi's shoulder and shoved him towards Poseidon.
When the Sea God began living the life of a servant, he realized his nightmare had only just begun.
In the morning, the Sea God personally cooked a bowl of seafood porridge and came to Poseidon, saying, "My esteemed mistress, your servant has prepared your favorite seafood porridge. Please try some."
Poseidon took the porridge, picked up a spoon, took a bite, and casually slapped the steaming bowl of porridge onto Xiao Dongzi's face.
Xiao Dongzi's divine power had been sealed by Qian Xunji, so the scalding porridge burned his skin.
"Ah—"
"Is this salt even fit for human consumption?" Poseidon said angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes, mistress, this servant will go and prepare another one."
The sea god, filled with resentment, went down and brought in another bowl of porridge.
However, the moment he stepped into Poseidon's room, he was flung away by a burst of Poseidon's soul power. The seafood porridge that the sea god had painstakingly prepared flew through the air and then slammed heavily onto Xiao Dongzi's face.
Xiao Dongzi was forced to take the porridge down his face again.
"Today, you must enter my room with your left foot first. Have you even forgotten this rule?" Poseidon said harshly. How dare I, the mighty sea god, be humiliated like this by my own slave!!! Xiao Dongzi was filled with resentment, but he still wiped the scalding seafood porridge off his face and then bowed his head with a fawning expression, saying, "Mistress, please forgive me. This servant deserves to die. This servant will definitely enter with his left foot next time."
Then, Xiao Dongzi painstakingly cooked a pot of seafood porridge, and carefully entered the room with his left foot, bringing it to Poseidon's table, saying, "Mistress, the seafood porridge is ready, please try some." Poseidon took a small sip, then immediately slammed the bowl over Xiao Dongzi's face, coldly saying, "Too bland."
Xiao Dongzi: "@#@￥%@..."
Finally, Xiao Dongzi figured out Poseidon's tricks and endured a difficult day of her harassment.
The next day, Xiao Dongzi entered with his left foot and was immediately kicked out by Poseidon.
Rubbing his sore bottom, Xiao Dongzi said, "Mistress, I already entered with my left foot, why did you kick me?"
Poseidon said harshly, "Entering with your left foot was yesterday's business; today you must enter with your right foot."
On the third day, the shrewd Xiao Dongzi stood outside the door and cautiously asked, "Mistress, which foot should I use to enter today?"
"Can't you figure out which foot to use to get in? Do I need to tell you? You're such a stupid servant," Poseidon replied impatiently.
Xiao Dongzi, exasperated, came up with a plan: he put both legs together and jumped in.
Then Poseidon kicked him out.
"Did I tell you to use your feet to get in today? You'd better crawl in on your hands."
