Could it be that Tang San was deceiving her?

But Tang San was Tang Chen's great-grandson. Tang San hated Xu Ran so much because Xu Ran had killed Tang Chen; that hatred was very intense and it couldn't be fake. Tang San couldn't possibly deceive her.

Poseissi looked deeply into Xu Ran's eyes, trying to discern any hint from them.

Xu Ran also looked back at Poseissi sincerely, his gaze pure without any impurities.

For a moment, Poseissi was somewhat at a loss. She didn't know whom to believe. Tang San was Tang Chen's great-grandson and also possessed the Haotian Hammer Martial Spirit; his identity couldn't be fake.

Logically, she should believe Tang San.

But the previous night she had embraced Xu Ran, and he had given her that enchanting warm feeling.

So deep down she really hoped that what Xu Ran said was true, and she also didn't believe that Xu Ran was that kind of person.

"I believe you."

"But..."

Poseissi mustered her courage.

"Some people look like good people, but they may not be good people. Some people look like bad people, but they may not be bad people. This world is full of inverted right and wrong. Often, what we see are merely illusions," Xu Ran said lightly, the corner of his mouth lifting, a sliver of warmth in his heart.

He hadn't expected that Poseissi would really choose to trust him.

Despite Poseissi's tone still carrying confusion and uncertainty, it was already very good under such circumstances.

"You mean, Tang San is deceiving me?"

"But Tang San is Tang Chen's great-grandson, his descendant. How could Tang San possibly deceive me?" After hearing Xu Ran's words, Poseissi was somewhat bewildered, but she could tell that Xu Ran was referring to Tang San.

These past days, she had always trusted Tang San very much.

Tang San and Tang Chen shared the same bloodline.

"You know about the Rakshasa God, don't you?"

"The Rakshasa God is a First-Level God. Of course, I'm aware," Poseissi replied.

"The Hell Rakshasa, ruthless and devoid of righteousness—do you dare to trust the words of a Rakshasa?" Xu Ran's mouth turned up in a smile as he planted a seed in Poseissi's heart to trust him without doubt. Later, when he would present the video, it would plunge Tang San into complete despair and saddle him with the blame.

Then, no matter which corner of the world it was, Tang San's evil reputation would spread far and wide.

After that, there would no longer be a place for Tang San in this world.

"This…" Poseissi felt her heart shaking. The aura of the Luo Sha emanating from Tang San sometimes filled her with fear and apprehension. Tang San's personality was gloomy, his face often shadowed, and although he would restrain himself a bit in her presence, it still made her feel oppressed.

At last...

It was as if she suddenly realized why she felt different in the presence of Tang San compared to Xu Ran.

With "Cultivation Levels" like those of Tang San and Xu Ran, the aura they emanated would be influenced by their own attributes.

Tang San carried with him the aura of the Rakshasa—resentment, anger, and slaughter. Even if Tang San did his best to conceal his aura, that kind of temperament couldn't be hidden.

Although Xu Ran also had various terrifying auras, the Auspicious Beast Bloodline within him neutralized those auras, enveloping him in auspiciousness, rendering his own aura gentle, refined, and elegant.

When their "Cultivation Level" reached the utmost heights, their auras could significantly affect all living beings around them.

No matter how Tang San struggled...

His aura was evil and dark, while Xu Ran was holy and divine. Just on this point alone, Tang San lost to Xu Ran.

When Tang San chose to become the Rakshasa God, he lost any hope of turning the tables.

Perhaps Tang San could have a chance of turning the tables in terms of strength.

But it was already impossible in terms of reputation.

Becoming a Rakshasa, with a heart extremely cold and dark, who would believe him?

And yet, Xu Ran's aura was noble and auspicious, clearly that of an upright person.

"But Tang San had no need to lie to me," Poseissi was already at a loss on whom to believe. Should she trust Xu Ran, or Tang San?

Tang San said he was forced into this by Xu Ran!

"Sometimes the truth lies just a thought away. It all depends on whom you choose to believe," Xu Ran said with a faint smile.

"Are you really the Inheritor of the Sea God?" Poseissi asked again.

"I can't answer that question for you. You'll find out later. It's complicated and deeply related to you," Xu Ran spoke lightly. When Poseissi found out what the Sea God had done, she would despise everything related to the Sea God.

He planned to expose the despicable deeds of the Sea God on the entire Sea God's Island, obliterating his reputation.

"All right. I can't say any more. Unless you're willing to be my woman, only then can I tell you," Xu Ran appraised Poseissi's luscious, tender body.

So charming and mature, truly irresistible.

Even with his strength, he was still not exempt from desire.

"No matter if you're the murderer of Tang Chen or not, you're still so shameless," Poseissi said, visibly mortified.

She was no longer so averse to Xu Ran. Now, she was uncertain about who was good and who was evil. Tang San said he was forced into becoming a Rakshasa by Xu Ran and ended up in a miserable state. Meanwhile, Xu Ran claimed Tang San was a Rakshasa, untrustworthy.

It seemed both sides had their reasons.

However, Xu Ran's lecherous gaze and frivolous actions remained unchanged.

Xu Ran was a rogue, no matter how suave he tried to be — that much was certain!

"A fair lady is a gentleman's good match."

"Besides, you're already a spinster of advanced age. If you don't find a good husband soon, I fear no one will want you later," Xu Ran said teasingly.

"Hmph. Even if I am a spinster, it's none of your concern. I have nothing to do with you," Poseissi retorted with a coquettish snort, embarrassed by Xu Ran's words.

Was she truly considered a spinster?

The words Xu Ran spoke really hurt.

A woman cares most about her appearance and age, wishing to remain forever young and beautiful. And yet Xu Ran dared to call her a spinster?

Xu Ran was interested in her, but were these words appropriate for wooing a lady?

Another blockhead trying to court a girl!

In an instant, Poseissi sketched an image of Xu Ran in her mind.

"I want you to be my girlfriend. If you were with me, wouldn't there be a relationship then?"

"Besides, don't you want to know about Tang Chen's affairs? If you're with me, I could tell you many things about Tang Chen, including the cause of his death," Xu Ran said with a smile.

"You! Shameless!" Poseissi trembled with anger, not expecting Xu Ran to use these matters as leverage against her.

"Of course, you could choose to kiss me, and I would selectively tell you some other things about Tang Chen. Such as where Tang Chen has been over the years, what he has been doing..." Xu Ran continued to entice her.

"This..." Poseissi fell silent, tempted.

Kissing Xu Ran wouldn't mean she had to be with him, and she could get the information she desired.

When Tang San encountered Tang Chen, Tang Chen was close to death, so naturally, Tang San wouldn't know as much about Tang Chen as Xu Ran did.

"I hope you keep your promise. If you make up anything, I won't let you off," Poseissi said, then tip-toed and kissed Xu Ran.
