Chapter 62: Because You Are Weak

"Sea God, are you there?"

Hearing the voice from outside, Poseidon immediately signaled to Dan Heng.

Dan Heng transformed into a small azure dragon, coiling around one of the palace pillars. His color faded, making him look just like a statue.

Moments later, two women entered.

Both radiated an oppressive or maddening aura, yet their appearances were vastly different.

One of them was an ugly woman with furrowed brows, her eyes filled with endless resentment and jealousy. She was extremely unattractive—one eye big, the other small, with a flat nose and a wide mouth. She was short and hunched, with one shoulder higher than the other.

The other was a tall woman, her face hidden behind a white mask. But her bright, alluring eyes seemed capable of stealing one's soul. Her curvaceous body was mesmerizing, stirring the deepest desires within.

They were none other than the Gods of Envy and Lust, two of the Seven Sins Gods.

The Envy God glared at Poseidon and asked, "Sea God, have you sensed the presence of an outsider?"

The Lust God, meanwhile, nonchalantly sat down, picking up the cup of tea Poseidon had poured for Dan Heng.

"!!!" Poseidon's expression stiffened—he had forgotten to clean up!

But in the next second, he quickly adjusted his emotions, flashing a playful, careless smile.

"An outsider? Could it be that the Divine Realm is finally getting a new recruit?" he said, feigning excitement. "This place has been so lifeless. A newcomer would be great! At least I wouldn't have to keep talking to myself—I'm about to develop a split personality."

He sighed dramatically and sat beside the Lust God, lifting another cup of tea and taking a swig. Then, turning to the Lust God, he teased, "Lust, I already drank from that cup. Hope you don't mind."

The Lust God chuckled, raising the teacup to her lips, deliberately taking a slow, deep inhale of its scent.

"Why would I mind?" she said seductively. "You may not have been in the Divine Realm for long, but you quickly became a First-Class God. Even the Asura God King acknowledges your strength. I admire you—I'd be honored to share a cup with you."

Her voice was soft, magnetic, and husky.

Any man who heard it would feel his heart melt, an irresistible urge to submit to her will.

The Envy God let out a cold snort. "Enough, Lust! Stop acting so shamelessly! We're here to track down the outsider! If you want to seduce the Sea God, do it later!"

The Lust God stuck out her pink tongue, slowly licking the rim of the teacup.

She seemed to be doing it on purpose, her movements unhurried, as if putting on a show for Poseidon.

"Ugh, Envy, why are you always in such a rush?" she sighed dramatically. "By the way, Sea God, which lower realm did you ascend from again?"

She batted her mesmerizing eyes at Poseidon.

Poseidon quickly crossed one leg over the other, trying to conceal his reaction.

At the same time, he silently used his divine power to suppress the changes in his body, resisting the Lust God's influence.

"The Douluo Continent…" he replied with an awkward smile.

But internally, he cursed: The Lust God really is a seductress! She's too good at tempting people! I need to keep my distance from her, or I might fall into her trap someday!

"Oh? No wonder you reached First-Class God so quickly. The Douluo Continent is, after all, the center of this world's lower realms," the Lust God mused with a knowing smile.

"Yeah…" Poseidon nodded awkwardly.

He couldn't shake the feeling that she was onto something.

"Enough!" the Envy God snapped. "If you want to flirt with the Sea God, do it on your own time! I'm leaving! Haven't you seen enough male gods already? You're so cheap!"

She turned on her heel and stormed out, seething with jealousy.

The Lust God quickly got up and followed. "Oh, come on, Envy, wait for me! Don't be mad!"

As the presence of the two gods faded, Poseidon finally let out a sigh of relief.

But his legs remained crossed—the divine lust she had stirred in him was not so easily dispelled.

At that moment, the azure dragon statue coiled around the pillar came to life, landing lightly on the ground and reverting to Dan Heng's form.

"We need to act quickly. Can you recover?" Dan Heng asked, looking at Poseidon with mild disdain.

Poseidon immediately protested, "Dan Heng! What kind of look is that?! I was just tempted by the Lust God! No man can resist her allure!"

"When you're near someone like her, you don't even think about resisting. You just want to obey! If it were you, you'd be even more flustered than I was!"

"I've already done better than most men would!" Poseidon declared righteously.

"Whatever. Let's move. Lure them away, or—" Dan Heng began.

But before he could finish, a melodious laugh rang through the palace.

"Hehehe… I knew I'd catch you. Sea God Poseidon, you're conspiring with an outsider…"

A figure silently appeared at the entrance of the temple.

It was the Lust God.

Though she had seemingly left with the Envy God, she had secretly left behind a clone to observe the situation.

"…" Poseidon looked at Dan Heng helplessly and spread his hands in surrender.

There was nothing he could do now.

The next moment, an azure light shot out from Dan Heng's hand in a blur of motion.

Before anyone could even see its trajectory, a water-like ribbon in the shape of an azure dragon had already wrapped tightly around the Lust God.

Her divine power was instantly sealed.

At the same time, Dan Heng's form shifted, revealing his True Form.

His short hair extended past his shoulders, the tips transitioning into a gradient of jade-green. Two crystalline jade-hued dragon horns emerged from his forehead, his ears sharpened, and crimson eyeshadow adorned his gaze. His pupils gleamed with an ethereal mix of azure and white.

Poseidon's eyes widened, and he gave Dan Heng a big thumbs-up.

"Impressive…"

He knew all too well how terrifying the Lust God's charm was. She didn't even need to use divine power—just her natural presence could stir a man's deepest instincts.

And yet, what had Dan Heng done?

He acted instantly, without hesitation, completely unbothered by her beauty!

Looking at Dan Heng's current appearance, Poseidon could only marvel in shock.

The Lust God was stunned as well. She had intended to tease them a little longer, but now she was completely restrained.

Her eyes welled with feigned grievance.

"Moon Drinking Lord, why are you being so harsh? I truly admire you, you know? When I sensed your presence, I didn't even tell that old hag Envy…"

Poseidon instinctively chimed in, "Yeah, Dan… You should at least appreciate her kindness!"

Dan Heng frowned. "I don't want to waste time."

Poseidon sighed helplessly.

With this kind of personality, Dan Heng is probably going to stay single forever…

"Well, since she's already here, things just got easier!"
