Chapter 130: Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong Meet Again
Sea God Island.
Qian Xunji's strength was far inferior to Qian Daoliu's. While it took Qian Daoliu four hours to travel from Spirit Hall to Sea God Island, Qian Xunji arrived just before dawn.
"Who goes there?!"
As Qian Xunji neared the coast of Sea God Island, a sharp female voice rang out. A massive water column surged skyward, and atop it appeared a sleek, streamlined shark over 25 meters long with brilliant blue eyes—stunning in a strange way.
This was undoubtedly a 100,000-year soul beast that could speak—none other than Xiao Bai, the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King.
Suddenly, blinding blue-gray light radiated from her streamlined body. In the next moment, her form rapidly shrank, transforming into a tall, elegant girl.
She looked young, maybe around 18, but her figure was perfect. Though unusually tall for a girl—around 1.8 meters—her proportions were flawless. Her gray-blue eyes matched her softly glowing skin, and her features, though sharp, carried a unique exotic allure.
Qian Xunji didn't react at all. The only women connected to him were Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua—one for breeding, the other for her massive wealth in gold soul coins.
Flesh was just flesh. Even if she were the most beautiful woman alive, he wouldn't waste time.
"I am Qian Xunji, Pope of Spirit Hall. I'm here to offer Sea God Island a free grain depot."
"A grain depot? For free?" Xiao Bai blinked. "We don't need food on Sea God Island."
"You're overthinking it," Qian Xunji said. "Your food supply all comes from Vast Sea City on the mainland. What if a tsunami hits and cuts you off? You'll starve while trying to find a new trade route."
Like Spirit City, Sea God Island was full of soul masters. Did anyone expect little kids or pampered soul masters to farm?
In the original timeline, Spirit Hall discovered Sea God Island precisely because it regularly imported large shipments of grain from Vast Sea City—an activity spotted by Spirit Hall's local branch.
Later, Spirit Hall tried to conquer Sea God Island—but failed miserably.
Truthfully, conquering Sea God Island would have been easy. Just control their grain supply. Without the sea to empower them, sea soul masters lose most of their strength. Bo Saixi couldn't beat Qian Daoliu, much less survive being surrounded by the worshippers.
But this was Douluo. A supply-cutting tactic like that would be a masterstroke.
Xiao Bai frowned. "You're empty-handed, and yet you're a Titled Douluo. How are you going to build us a grain depot?"
"With this."
A glow flashed from Qian Xunji's storage soul tool as he pulled out a small pouch. From it, he took a cage full of rabbits—over a dozen. He had randomly caught them on his way, just as a pretext to come here.
Xiao Bai burst out laughing. "Those rabbits? I'd eat them all in one bite. You call that a grain depot? Is everyone in Spirit Hall this funny?"
Qian Xunji shook his head. "Typical shark—narrow-minded. Do you even know how rabbits reproduce?"
"What? You're calling me narrow-minded?!"
Xiao Bai flared with anger, and the calm sea rippled ominously. "Then enlighten me. If your explanation doesn't satisfy me, I'll show you the wrath of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King!"
Qian Xunji's eyes flickered with annoyance. Why was he wasting time and breath on this thing?
"Low-level soul beasts like rabbits go into heat 8–10 weeks after birth. They're known as the 'reproduction machines' of the soul beast world. With two reproductive organs, they can start breeding at three to four months old. Each litter produces 6–10 kits, and they can breed 4–6 times a year. Two to three hundred offspring a year is easy."
He glanced at the shivering rabbits. "If one rabbit produces a few hundred in a year, how many do you think a dozen can make?"
"Holy sh—!"
Xiao Bai couldn't help cursing. Compared to that, her Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan's reproductive rate was a joke. If they had rabbit-level reproduction, they wouldn't need to rely on the evil Demonic Tiger Whale King. They could dominate by sheer numbers.
Had Qian Xunji heard her, he would've looked at her like an idiot. A top-tier predator wanting the reproductive rate of a low-level prey? That would shatter the ocean's ecological balance. The entire sea would be overrun by sharks.
Even in Douluo, where even a Rank 99 Titled Douluo and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King still needed to eat, high-level beings naturally reproduced less to protect the balance.
That's why he had made sure to emphasize "low-level soul beast" when talking about rabbits.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai's ears twitched. "The High Priest said you may enter."
She reverted to her original shark form and dove into the sea.
Sea God Douluo, Bo Saixi.
Passing through the Sea God Island's barrier, Qian Xunji entered the island. He wasn't worried about being attacked. Bo Saixi wasn't the type, and no god would target a mere Rank 97 Titled Douluo for no reason. Even Qian Daoliu had come and gone safely.
Besides, he had already exposed Sea God Island's biggest weakness—their food supply from the mainland.
As for rabbits and the grain depot? Just a smokescreen. He wasn't about to tell Sea God Island that relying on rabbits for sustenance would only lead to starvation. Never fully trust other factions—especially rivals like Sea God Island and Spirit Hall.
These two groups had fundamentally conflicting beliefs—divine power and faith.
Just as Qian Xunji set foot on the island, Bibi Dong, who had just gotten out of bed to prepare for her Sea God Trials, sensed a horribly familiar and disgusting aura.
It was an aura she'd only ever sensed from three people in her past life.
Meanwhile, at the base of Sea God Mountain, Bo Saixi appeared with her three-meter staff. Each graceful step made her look like a goddess descending from on high.
Qian Xunji sensed a spatial fluctuation and turned—Bo Saixi now stood nearby. She spoke with a soft tone, like an elder, "You must be Qian Daoliu's son. Your aura is very similar to his."
"Greetings, Senior Bo Saixi."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly. "I sense no Angel God power in you. That means you reached this level with your own strength."
"That's surprising. You don't look a day over a hundred, yet it typically takes over three hundred years to reach Rank 97."
Qian Xunji wasn't interested in wasting time with someone who was, after all, a future enemy. He could already sense that foul, rapidly approaching aura and was eager to cut the conversation short.
"I had some lucky encounters. I'm here under my father's orders to offer you a taste of new cuisine."
Using Qian Daoliu's name? Sure—might as well. That old burden was occasionally useful.
Bo Saixi responded, "I appreciate his kindness, but Sea God Island will not accept favors from Spirit Hall. We can grant you three slots for the Sea God Trials. Once completed, your people may leave the island."
In truth, Bo Saixi didn't want to accept any gifts from Qian Daoliu. Her heart belonged to Tang Chen.
But a grain depot… that was something Sea God Island couldn't refuse. If Vast Sea City were destroyed by a tsunami or their supply line cut, would their soul masters have to hunt sea beasts for food? That would weaken their faith in the Sea God!
Qian Xunji raised his opinion of Bo Saixi slightly. Though ignorant and lacking in wit, she wasn't some clingy, obsessive woman.
At that moment, Bibi Dong arrived at Sea God Mountain. Her eyes filled with bloodshot veins as she saw Qian Xunji.
He turned and looked at her—confirming it really was Bibi Dong. His doubts began to fade.
