Chapter 134: Give You Half a Month to Chase Me
Zhao Ling was happily examining the three mid-grade spirit stones he had just received when Bo Saixi noticed a "Copy of Zhao Ling's Diary" appear in front of her. The golden exclamation mark indicated a recent update.
Glancing at Zhao Ling and seeing that he was too preoccupied to notice, she used her thoughts to open the diary and began reading its latest entries.
As Bo Saixi read, her brows furrowed slightly. It seemed the method Zhao Ling had used to conceal Sister Ah Yin's soul beast aura had significant drawbacks.
While it prevented others from sensing her unique presence, it also rendered her unable to use her soul power and soul skills, leaving her defenseless and entirely reliant on others for protection.
Even so, Ah Yin had willingly allowed Zhao Ling to seal her power and had followed him to Spirit City without hesitation. "Isn't she afraid Zhao Ling might betray her?" Bo Saixi thought.
If Zhao Ling harbored even the slightest ill intentions, he could have done as many Titled Douluo had before him—taken Ah Yin's soul rings and soul bones. She would have been powerless to resist.
But as she read further, it became clear that Zhao Ling harbored no such thoughts. In fact, his love for Ah Yin was evident in the diary. The two were deeply affectionate, their relationship as fiery as it was passionate.
However, one detail made Bo Saixi's lips twitch—Zhao Ling's "intensity" seemed to have left Ah Yin so drained that she often sought refuge with Bo Saixi and Sister Liu Erlong.
Continuing through the diary, Bo Saixi read Zhao Ling's musings about her. He had accurately surmised her reluctance to allow her soul power to be sealed.
Indeed, had she known the seal would render her powerless, she would never have agreed to try it, no matter how curious she was. But then, she came across something unexpected—Zhao Ling's confession that he had considered using the seal on her to make her his wife.
Bo Saixi fell into deep thought. "Wasn't my intimacy with him yesterday enough of a sign? I'm not the type of woman to kiss casually."
This guy wasn't stupid… was he? Did he not realize her feelings? Perhaps she hadn't kissed him enough or made her intentions clear enough.
Determined, Bo Saixi stood up, walked over to Zhao Ling, and, without hesitation, sat on his lap.
Zhao Ling, still marveling at his spirit stones, was caught completely off guard. Before he could react, Bo Saixi leaned in and kissed him deeply.
The kiss lasted for nearly two minutes until both were gasping for air. Reluctantly pulling away, Bo Saixi took a few deep breaths and gazed at Zhao Ling with smoldering eyes.
Zhao Ling, disoriented and breathless, was about to say something when Bo Saixi leaned in close, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered.
"I'll give you half a month to chase me. If you don't catch me by then, I'll return to Poseidon Island—and before I leave, I'll take your head as a souvenir."
With that, she stood up gracefully, her figure swaying as she walked back toward her room, leaving Zhao Ling stunned.
"What the hell? What the hell?!"
Zhao Ling stared after her, swallowing hard. "She… she just said I have half a month to pursue her? And if I fail, she'll leave and… take my head with her?"
He rubbed his temples, feeling both bewildered and flustered. "This girl is too domineering! I don't have a choice—if I don't chase her, I'll die. If I do, at least there's a chance I'll survive."
Muttering to himself, Zhao Ling stood up. No matter whether it was for his dream of giving all the beautiful women in Douluo a warm home or simply to save his own life, he was determined to pursue Bo Saixi.
He quickly caught up with her and, emboldened, tried to pick her up in his arms.
Bo Saixi instantly dodged, her soft hand gently touching his forehead.
"I said you have half a month to chase me, not to flirt with me. Besides, it's broad daylight—I'm not going back to bed with you."
Zhao Ling raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then I'll carry you to your room for a game of chess."
This time, Bo Saixi didn't resist. With a faint smile, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up and carried her to her room.
Soon after, soft murmurs and muffled laughter emanated from the room. A passing maid turned red at the sounds, hurrying away with her face aflame.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong, who had returned home and was busy watering flowers in her courtyard, noticed an update in the diary. Curious, she immediately opened it to read.
Her initial interest in Zhao Ling's method of sealing soul power quickly gave way to anger as she read his confession about Bo Saixi.
"What's going on?! I was the third woman to get close to him, yet he skipped over me to go after Sister Saixi?"
Her brows furrowed in frustration. "Does he think I'm not as pretty as her? That I'm the least attractive among us?!"
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became.
"I'm not ugly! If I had a better temper and were more docile, men would line up from one end of Tiandou City to the other to court me! Yet that scoundrel Zhao Ling ignores me?!"
Fuming, Liu Erlong threw her watering can to the ground, cracking its handle.
"Hmph! Zhao Ling, you're such a bad guy! A playboy! A pig!"
After calming down slightly, she muttered under her breath, "Just wait until I return. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Slumping onto a stone bench, Liu Erlong crossed her arms. "I swear, if I don't make him regret ignoring me, I'll write my name upside down!"
