Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 51 Tang Chen takes a half step back, Poseidon's heart breaks.

Q: If a woman's makeup suddenly smudges and falls apart while she's standing in front of you, what's your reaction?

Tang Chen perfectly delivered the standard response: "Holy crap, something's fishy!"

When he was beaten, he was only afraid of being disfigured.

A female ghost is demanding his life; he's afraid of dying!

Old Deng's scream sounded like a bull's roar. Tang Chen took three steps back, keeping a distance from Poseidon, fearing that the unknown creature would rush up.

Poseidon: My heart aches so much!

"What the hell is this?" As a top internet enthusiast specializing in the bizarre, Qian Xunji didn't hesitate to turn on his personal computer to identify the female ghost's species.

As a result, the computer displayed one name: Poseidon.

For a fleeting moment, my brain, which had been frozen in place, almost thought that the quantum computer had broken down.

After a long while, Qian Xunji finally noticed something interesting about the face covered in white paste: this terrible look was actually caused by smudged makeup!

"Are you serious about taking half a step back? Such a small movement, yet it causes so much damage! I don't want to play the role of a ghost and make a fool of myself!"

The jokes came out of his mouth without hesitation, and although the lyrics were a bit off-key, everyone could taste a faint sadness in the music.

Perhaps something had touched a nerve with Poseidon, for she suddenly burst into tears, completely abandoning her earlier air of superiority.

Yes! Before, she could only catch a glimpse of Tang Chen from afar. Now, because her makeup is ruined, she looks neither human nor ghost, yet she can talk to Tang Chen. If she hadn't been mistaken for a female ghost, this scene might have been a happy ending.

"Crazy woman, don't try to scam me!" Tang Chen covered his face, afraid that Poseidon would take a fancy to his handsome appearance and insist on marrying him.

He's selective about who he uses his good looks to seduce, okay?

"Crazy woman?" Poseidon laughed wildly, her voice gradually becoming distorted, and a layer of unyielding mist clouded her ocean-blue eyes. "I never imagined you would use that word to describe me!"

"You're sick!" Tang Chen retorted.

Perhaps finding the voice somewhat familiar, Hailong tentatively asked, "High Priest?"

"You no longer need to call me High Priest; that was my former title. Now I am merely the guardian of the Sea Dragon's Sacred Pillar!"

Perhaps she was too deeply affected by the word "madwoman," because Poseidon's tone of voice gave off a sense of utter despair, and she sounded sickly, completely lacking the energy she had just displayed.

The contrast was too great, and Tang Chen was even more convinced that this woman was a madwoman!

If she hadn't gone mad, as the High Priestess of Poseidon Island, she would have personally received the guests from the mainland, and she wouldn't have ended up being deposed.

"You two aren't having an affair, are you?" Golden Crocodile Douluo scratched his stubble, his cloudy eyes revealing his curiosity about gossip.

Based on his understanding of women, there must be some unspeakable secrets between Tang Chen and the former high priest of Poseidon Island!

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tang Chen hurriedly retorted, afraid of being associated with the crazy woman.

Poseidon's eyes darkened.

Is this the fate of those who secretly love someone?

No matter how deeply she loves, the man she loves will never understand her heart!

"How can it be okay?" Lion Douluo had read many storybooks and was very familiar with the stand-in trope and the amnesia trope, so he immediately made up a story.

"Perhaps you lost a piece of your memory when you were young, and during that time, you happened to come to Seagod Island and fall in love with the High Priest. Later, you regained your memory and told the High Priest, 'Once I've persuaded my parents, I'll return here to marry you.' But after leaving Seagod Island, you chose to completely forget everything here."

Perhaps because he was so satisfied with the little story he had made up, Lion Douluo's tone became youthful and full of energy.

"It's a pity that the fallen flowers are affectionate but the flowing water is indifferent; the devoted lover is always betrayed by the heartless man!" Qingluan Douluo sighed, glancing at Tang Chen with a look that was not respectful, but even carried a hint of reproach, as if to say, "You scumbag!"

Tang Chen: Your story is so well-founded, I almost believed it!

"Don't think you can spread rumors about me just because I'm imprisoned! This is my first time setting foot on Poseidon Island, and everyone can testify to that!"

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's eyes darkened once again.

He truly didn't remember that there had once been a beautiful young woman gazing at him affectionately from afar on the road!

Hailong seemed to remember something, and his suspicious gaze swept over Poseidon and Tang Chen.

When the High Priest was young, he traveled to the mainland following the decree of the Sea God. Could it be that he met Tang Chen at that time?

The two had a deeply memorable love affair, but the High Priest remembered his mission and invited Tang Chen to join Seagod Island. However, Tang Chen was forced to decline because he was burdened with the mission of revitalizing the Haotian Sect.

And then, he lost his memory?

It is said that drama originates from life, and the stories in vernacular stories must have a source.

The High Priest and Tang Chen have a past relationship—isn't that normal?

In this way, the reason why the high priest ordered him to treat Tang Chen well can be explained.

That's right, poor Sea Maiden Douluo!

Her people had suffered countless injustices, and all she did was kill the Soul Douluo to vent her anger, but unfortunately, she ended up hitting someone she shouldn't have offended.

"If I hadn't attacked Tang Chen because I misunderstood the High Priest's intentions, wouldn't the Sea Maiden Douluo have faced Tang Chen's retribution at today's welcoming banquet? The High Priest promised to help the Sea Maiden Douluo get justice; was that just empty talk?"

Thinking of this, Hailong subconsciously looked up at the sky, only to find that the phantom of the sea god and the mysterious giant eye had disappeared at some point. He could not contact the sea god and therefore could not verify it.

However, when he connected the matter of "the High Priest being stripped of his power," Hailong felt that his conjecture was close to the truth of the matter.

If the high priest had not abandoned the island of the sea god, the sea god, with his magnanimity, would never have removed him from his post.

It is worth noting that before the Pope arrived on the island, the sea god specifically sent a message that "a distinguished guest is coming."

How could the sea god, who thinks of the believers on the island whenever there are benefits, be a petty person!

"The High Priestess is truly foolish! She actually mistreats her own family for the sake of her predecessor! Doesn't she understand that her family is the foundation of her confidence in marrying into the Haotian Sect? If she suffers injustice in the future, without their support, how will she face the harassment of those brutes? They say that the deeper the love, the harsher the criticism," the Sea God dismissed the High Priestess from her post, surely hoping she would repent and return to the right path!

Thinking of this, Hailong's gaze toward Tang Chen turned fierce.

Those who betray their faith deserve to be punished!

"You scumbag, you deserve a beating!"

"No way, you actually believed a few words from someone? Do you even have a brain?" Tang Chen jumped up in fright, his desire to avoid being beaten reaching its peak, and a burst of extraordinary wisdom erupted from him: Soul Masters of Seagod Island cannot leave Seagod Island at will. As long as he escapes the territory of Seagod Island, the Sea Dragon has no right to beat him.

Qian Xunji had no idea that Hailong was a person who overthought things.

He was focused on something else: "High Priest, are you sure you don't want to remove your makeup?"

Qian Xunji was quite curious about the appearance of this woman, who was rated as one of the "Three Beauties of Douluo Continent" by netizens. She must be very beautiful to be able to make two peerless Douluo fall in love.

Removing makeup?

Tang Chen, who was preparing to escape, was stunned when he heard this. This female ghost was not the original.
