Chapter 523: Sea God's First Test, Embrace Poseissi? Sea God's Light!_1

Poseissi gazed at Luo Yu solemnly, her stunningly beautiful cheeks shimmering with a divine and devout radiance.

"Husband, I will assist you with all my strength to pass Sea God's Nine Quests and attain godhood!"

Luo Yu kept staring intently at the peerless beauty before him.

"What is my husband looking at? Is there something on my face?" Poseissi instinctively reached out with her slender jade fingers, touching her cheek.

"It's nothing."

Luo Yu sighed inwardly, as he had actually been testing her just now.

He wanted to probe the limits of Poseissi's tolerance for him as the inheritor of the Sea God.

And he found that this woman seemed to have no limits to her tolerance for him?

He wasn't sure whether to feel happy or to feel sorry for Poseissi.

After all, as far as he knew, Poseissi had been devoted to Sea God all her life, trapped on Sea God's Island, and despite her outstanding talents, she had never experienced the utmost pleasures of the world.

Moreover, if things were to follow the normal course of history, Poseissi would eventually sacrifice her own life to help Tang San pass the final divine trial.

If Luo Yu had to summarize it in one sentence.

Then it would be that this woman, Poseissi, possessed top-tier beauty, temperament, figure, and talent, but her life was either a loss or on the way to loss.

All because of this belief in Sea God.

Luo Yu pondered for a moment, then sighed lightly.

Believe me, I'm not lecherous and trying to hit on her; I just want to help her escape from this huge pit of believing in the Sea God.

Poseissi was observing Luo Yu all along, not understanding why there was a hint of sympathy and affection in his gaze towards her.

Was that an illusion?

"May I ask what the first Sea God's Quest you have accepted is? I will provide you all the help I can," Poseissi said.

Luo Yu's eyes shifted.

So she didn't know the content of the trials he needed to face.

Tsk.

"Husband?" Poseissi inquired again.

"Cough cough cough."

Luo Yu heaved a sigh and said with difficulty, "How about I just give up the inheritance and leave Sea God's Island?"

"What's the problem?" Poseissi asked anxiously.

"These... these damn trial contents, it'd be better not to bother with them," Luo Yu clenched his fists and scolded.

"Ah?" Poseissi was somewhat surprised.

"Let's go," Luo Yu said, pulling Purple Pearl along to leave.

Poseissi quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"What kind of trial content is it? Just say it, there must be a way to solve it."

Luo Yu shook his head.

"The trial isn't difficult, and there is indeed a solution, but I find it too excessive."

"I, Luo Yu, am an upright gentleman. Even if I forgo the godhood inheritance, I would absolutely not take advantage of an innocent woman."

"This..."

Poseissi trembled slightly.

"Are you saying that the first quest set by Sea God involves a woman?"

Luo Yu retorted, "Haven't there been quests involving embraces or kisses between two people in the past?"

"These... there have been such instances. After all, Sea God's quests are strange and unpredictable, full of randomness," Poseissi hesitated. "But such special quests mostly presuppose that the man and woman involved have feelings for each other."

Luo Yu replied, "My trial is different; the other party is completely a strange innocent woman to me; I really can't bring myself to do it."

Poseissi first hesitated, then bit her lip.

"The Sea God inheritance has not appeared for so many years, and we absolutely cannot talk of giving up lightly."

"It's just a woman. I'll catch one for you. Having a chance to help an inheritor ascend to the Divine Realm is her lifelong honor."

"I believe she would not refuse such an outstanding man as you."

Luo Yu refused, "That's not right. I feel it's inappropriate. How can we sacrifice another woman just so I can undergo the trial?"

Poseissi's eyes were resolute, as she declared decisively:

"No, you must complete the nine quests at all costs and achieve godhood!!"

"Just go and complete the trial boldly, without any psychological burden."

"Whichever woman Sea God has appointed, there is good reason for that choice; it is her glory."

"Do we really have to do this?" Luo Yu was still somewhat hesitant.

"Oh, come on."

Poseissi was getting impatient.

"You just made such a decisive choice, how come you are hesitating so much now, dilly-dallying like this?"

The Sea Horse Douluo, who stood properly on the side, touched his nose, looking at Luo Yu standing there with righteousness, somehow he had an ominous premonition.

Luo Yu sighed.

"Then I'll lay it all out."

"Actually, my first assessment is to pass the stairs enveloped by the Sea God's Light."

Poseissi said with confusion, "That's a pretty normal assessment, and it doesn't involve any women."

Luo Yu rolled his eyes.

"There's an additional condition to this assessment."

"To climb one thousand and one steps, while kissing Poseissi."

"What???"

The Sea Horse Douluo and the others were shocked and almost dropped their jaws.

"What the hell kind of messed-up assessment condition is that?" The Yellow-Garbed Soul Master couldn't help but swear.

Poseissi's heart quivered, almost blacking out when she heard her own name.

"How... how is that possible..." Poseissi's face lost color, unable to keep calm.

So, the chosen woman is me?

The woman that needs to be sacrificed is me?

Did I just dig a pit and bury myself inside it?

Luo Yu looked at the troubled expression on Poseissi and shook his head repeatedly.

"Forget it, forget it, such an absurd assessment isn't worth doing."

He pulled up Purple Pearl without hesitation and headed straight for the exit.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of blue light flashed, and the stunningly beautiful Poseissi blocked Luo Yu and his companion.

"No, you can't leave."

Luo Yu demanded, "Then what should we do?"

"I surely can't go and kiss you, how could I possibly do that?"

Poseissi: "???"

Her inner thoughts were numbed, shouldn't it be me who's too embarrassed to do it, not you acting like you're at a disadvantage?

Poseissi swallowed hard, trying to calm her feelings.

"Husband, actually, what you should be focusing on isn't whether or not to kiss me."

"But rather the assessment requires you to climb over a thousand and one steps."

"Climbing steps? Don't you just need feet to do that?" Luo Yu rolled his eyes, speaking with insouciance.

"What?"

The Sea Horse Douluo stood with his mouth open.

You just can't brag like that, do you have any idea how hard it is just to climb over a hundred steps?

He had struggled a lot back in his day.

Poseissi couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes, sighing deeply.

"Let me be frank, with your level of power, not to mention a thousand steps, even climbing five hundred would be as difficult as reaching heaven."

Luo Yu said, "You should hope that I climb the steps quickly, and the faster the better, since the assessment requires maintaining a kiss with you while climbing the thousand and one steps."

"If I can't make it up, won't that mean having to kiss until the end of time?"

At this remark, the surroundings fell into a silent stillness.

The Sea Horse Douluo thought that this guy surely wouldn't be able to climb the steps, but he could take advantage until his hands were tired.

Poseissi couldn't help but think, this assessment is so difficult, it's basically hopeless, maybe we should just skip it?

Otherwise, she gets taken advantage of for nothing if this guy doesn't make it up.

Wouldn't that leave her with no place to cry?

And if this guy keeps failing to climb, wouldn't she be the one continuously at a loss?
