Chapter 134: Half a Month to Win Me Over

Just as Zhao Ling was delighting in the three newly acquired mid-grade spirit stones…

Bo Saixi noticed the golden exclamation mark appear on her copy of Zhao Ling's Diary, indicating a recent update.

She glanced at Zhao Ling, who was still grinning to himself and hadn't noticed her, then opened the diary using her spiritual sense and began reading.

Upon reviewing the updated entries, Bo Saixi's brows furrowed slightly. It became clear that Zhao Ling's method of concealing Ah Yin's aura came with major drawbacks. While it did hide her soul beast essence from others, it also left her unable to use her spirit power or skills in times of danger, forcing her to rely entirely on Zhao Ling's protection.

Bo Saixi hadn't expected that even with this risk, Ah Yin would still agree to let Zhao Ling seal her spirit power and even accompany him to Spirit City. Was she not afraid he might betray her?

If Zhao Ling had even the slightest malicious intent—like many other titled Douluo seeking Ah Yin's soul ring and bones—Ah Yin would have met a tragic end.

But from what she saw, Zhao Ling had not shown any such malice.

On the contrary, he treated Ah Yin with tenderness and affection every day. The two seemed very much in love.

The only downside? Zhao Ling seemed to be overwhelmingly energetic in certain areas, leaving Ah Yin exhausted and often running to Bo Saixi and Erlong for help—an awkward situation.

Bo Saixi continued reading, noting Zhao Ling's observation that she would never agree to have her powers sealed and become an ordinary person. She had to admit he was spot-on.

Indeed, her interest in trying his sealing technique had always been based on the belief that it merely hid her strength from others, not that it would actually strip her of her spirit power.

Had she known the truth—that she'd become a powerless ordinary woman—she'd never have asked.

But when she read Zhao Ling's inner thoughts about wanting to seal her power to make it easier to make her his wife, she couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

Had she not been affectionate enough toward him yesterday? She wasn't the type to kiss someone casually just because she lost a game. Why hadn't he realized her true feelings?

Maybe she hadn't kissed him enough… Maybe she needed to be even more obvious.

With that thought, Bo Saixi suddenly stood up and walked straight over to Zhao Ling. Without warning, she sat on his lap and kissed him full on the lips.

Zhao Ling, still basking in the joy of the mid-grade spirit stones, hadn't even registered what was happening before her lips met his.

The kiss lasted nearly two full minutes. Only when they both felt breathless did she reluctantly pull away.

Breathing heavily, she looked at him with intense eyes.

Just as Zhao Ling tried to say something, she silenced him with another kiss.

She didn't care how stunned he looked. She just wanted to make sure he understood one thing:

Yesterday, she hadn't kissed him simply because she lost a game. She meant it.

After another long moment, she finally released him and whispered into his ear:

"I'm giving you half a month to chase me. If you haven't won me over in that time, I'll go back to Sea God Island. And before I leave, I'll twist your head off and take it with me."

With that, she stood up, swaying her graceful figure as she walked back to her room—leaving a dumbfounded Zhao Ling frozen in place.

"Holy crap? Holy crap?! HOLY CRAP!!!"

Zhao Ling stared at Bo Saixi's seductive retreating figure and swallowed hard.

Did she just say she'd give him half a month to pursue her… and if he failed, she'd return to Sea God Island and take his head with her?

Talk about domineering! If he didn't chase her, he'd die. If he did… well, maybe there was hope.

At that thought, Zhao Ling stopped hesitating and immediately chased after her.

Whether it was to fulfill his grand dream of a harem of Douluo beauties or simply to save his own skin—Bo Saixi was now a must-win target.

He soon caught up to her and tried to scoop her up bridal-style.

Bo Saixi immediately realized what the rogue was planning—it wasn't just about pursuit. He wanted to claim her right then and there.

She quickly dodged his embrace and tapped him gently on the forehead.

"I said I'd give you a chance to chase me. That doesn't mean you can just jump me. And it's broad daylight. I'm not in the mood to be lying in bed."

Zhao Ling raised an eyebrow. Clearly, things wouldn't be that easy.

So he asked, half-teasing:"Well, since you don't want to lie in bed, how about I carry you back to your room… and we play chess instead?"

This time, Bo Saixi didn't respond—nor did she resist.

She let him pick her up and even wrapped her arms around his neck.

Zhao Ling was elated and carried her straight into the room.

Not long after, strange sounds began to come from inside. Any passing maids flushed red from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, back at home, Liu Erlong was busy watering the flowers in the courtyard when she saw the diary had updated again. She quickly pulled it up to read.

She didn't care much about the whole soul-sealing technique. But when she saw that Zhao Ling had said he'd always wanted to "corrupt" Saixi-jie…

She was not happy.

What the hell? She was the third person to read the diary and the third to have a close relationship with Zhao Ling.

And yet he hadn't even tried to "corrupt" her. Why would he skip her and go for Saixi-jie first?

Was it because he thought she wasn't as pretty as Saixi-jie? Was she really the least attractive of the four?

How dare he! She wasn't ugly! If she were just a bit more gentle, she could have suitors lining up from the east to the west of Heaven Dou City!

Why didn't that jerk try to corrupt her?

Unfair. So unfair!

In her frustration, Liu Erlong threw her brand-new watering can on the ground—it had barely been used for half a month.

Great. Now she'd have to buy a new one. But that wasn't the point.

The point was that she sat down angrily on a stone bench and began stewing.

"Zhao Ling, you big jerk! You heartless womanizer! You scumbag pig! Just wait for me!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson when I get back, I'll write my name backward!"
