Chapter 3269

The elder looked at the contemplative Titled Douluo and suddenly interrupted, "You don't need to think too much about this matter, I know what I'm doing!"

Lending out the Boundless Universe Shield was undoubtedly a high-risk, high-reward investment!

If that child manages to return alive from Sea God's Island, then it won't just be the auction house, but also the Xingluo Empire that could likely reap some benefits!!

Of course, even if he doesn't make it back alive, they could still obtain some useful information!!

Although the latter still wanted to ask more questions, he had no choice but to stiffly respond, "Yes, I understand!!"

It seemed impossible to pry any useful information from the other party, so he had to give up!!

After pausing for a bit as though something had occurred to him, he hesitated, "Right, should we inform His Majesty the Emperor about this?"

After all, the Boundless Universe Shield was related to the royal household, lending out such an item would at least require some form of report!!

No sooner had he finished speaking than the elder coughed a few times, covering his mouth before waving his hand, "Such a trivial matter doesn't warrant notifying His Majesty the Emperor!!"

He had decided to lend the Boundless Universe Shield to that child without seeking the royal household's approval; if His Majesty the Emperor found out, although there would be no punishment, it would still be a loss of face!!

"Alright, you may leave. If there's nothing important, make decisions on your own, don't inform me!"

The Titled Douluo nodded slightly, signaled briefly, and then turned to leave...

...

Sea God's Island!!

Inside the great hall!!

A servant responsible for taking care of his daily needs looked at Poseissi, who laid on the jade chair with an abnormal expression on his face....

He couldn't help but say in an extremely soft voice, "High Priest, you look worse than usual. Could it have something to do with the last incident?"

A dozen seconds later, Poseissi gradually came to his senses, opening those sea-like, clear Beautiful Eyes…

Then he replied in a calm tone, "Why do you say that?"

Without holding back, the maid answered truthfully, "Because, High Priest… the last time you had that expression, it was when the Soul Masters from Martial Soul Hall came!"

Poseissi nodded slightly, "I see!"

"However, this time, what happened might not necessarily be a bad thing!"

Unlike the vision she had dreamed of before, this time, she dreamed of some exceptionally strange things!!

Especially that vaguely familiar yet never-before-seen face!

Having received an answer, the maid said apologetically, "I'm sorry, High Priest, I spoke too much and disturbed your clear dream!!"

Upon hearing this, Poseissi showed a somewhat helpless expression, "You, you have been serving me for so many years; you should know that I wouldn't blame you for something like this."

The other party had almost been following her since she had come of age…

Therefore, she was arguably the person closest to Poseissi on Sea God's Island!

The maid's cheeks blushed as she said, "High Priest… why would you suddenly say that? I... I didn't mean it that way!"

Despite saying so, the fact that she knew Poseissi's temperament also admittedly made her somewhat presumptuous!

Poseissi sighed and changed the subject, "Anyway, I'm not blaming you. Has anything unusual happened at the Seven Pillars lately?"

While forces like the Martial Soul Hall had ceased their attacks on Sea God's Island, there were still some individuals with malicious intentions who entered stealthily and caused trouble!

For that reason, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo had to stand guard!!

Upon hearing this, the previous speaker began to ponder…

After a long moment, she finally spoke, "Back to the High Priest… there doesn't seem to have been any incidents lately, everything is as peaceful as always!"

"Besides, if something really happened, it surely wouldn't escape your spiritual power sensing!"

Sea God's Island, located on the vast ocean, and Poseissi, endowed with the Sea God Martial Soul and the position of High Priest, found her already powerful strength further enhanced!

Her spiritual power could spread across the entire Sea God's Island, piercing into every corner of the island!

Poseissi pursed her thin lips and murmured, "That being said, some Soul Masters do possess soul skills that can conceal their presence, and even my spiritual power might not be able to detect them!"

Seeing this, the maid did not hold back her compliments. "Your Holiness, you should not be so modest. In the current human world, who else possesses stronger spiritual power than you?"

"I'm afraid it was only Tang..."

However, the latter part of her sentence seemed to touch upon a sore point for the other...

She immediately snapped, "Enough!"

Realizing her misstep, the maid quickly shut her mouth, not daring to bring up the topic again...

It took several minutes for Poseissi's emotions to stabilize...

Glancing at the maid, she said softly, "Just now, I lost my composure, you may leave!"

The thing she disliked the most was mentioning those ancient histories!

The maid naturally did not dare to refuse and immediately accepted, "Yes, Your Holiness, then I will not disturb you any further, and you may summon me anytime for anything!"

...

Meanwhile!

Half a day had passed since they entered the open sea!

However, Xu Sheng and Gui Mei's expressions were extraordinarily complex...

Staring at the array of food before them, they were momentarily unsure how to begin eating...

The captain, taking the lead, said, "Our esteemed guests, the food we've carefully prepared is guaranteed fresh. Please, taste it!"

Xu Sheng returned to reality and, without changing his expression, said, "Captain, you're so thoughtful, to think a feast like this has been prepared less than half a day after leaving port!"

The captain paused, then followed up on that remark...

"Of course, since you have boarded our fleet, we must ensure you enjoy fine food and drink, and arrive at Sea God's Island safely!"

"Brothers, you agree, right??"

The rest of the crew understood immediately...

They eagerly chimed in, "That's right, that's right, we're not the types to cut corners, whatever we receive in golden soul coins, we deliver in service. We can't be stingy with food!"

"Yes, for this meal, the captain brought out some of his cherished delicacies. Our guests are truly fortunate!"

"Don't just sit there, help yourselves! These dishes are the specialties here, and they're sure to satisfy you!"

"Even we usually don't get the chance to eat them, but thanks to our guests today, we too can enjoy this deliciousness!"

Xu Sheng glanced at Gui Mei beside him and suggested, "Elder Gui, since everyone has put so much effort into preparing this feast, it would be rude for us not to partake!"

Having said that, he began to serve himself some food and eat...

Gui Mei nodded slightly, "Indeed, you speak the truth!"

Then, he too picked up his chopsticks and took a slice of meat to chew carefully in his mouth...

Only when they saw the food being swallowed did the expressions of the crew members change...

In their eyes, there was a thick murderous intent...
