Chapter 68: Quick Guide to Poseidon (V)
"Feng Ziang, why are you still here?" Du Yue asked in surprise.
"Today is the Water God Festival, and the Sea God has specially invited you to participate!"
The Water God Festival is one of the most important festivals in this underwater city. Legend has it that the door to the bottom of the sea will open and the cleanest water will flow into the sea to nourish life. The Water God will also come on this day to bless the city. I have never participated in such a grand festival, so I can't help but feel a little curious.
"But..." I thought of the lost notebook and hesitated.
"Don't say but, just follow me and don't keep the city lord waiting!"
Du Yue took my hand without saying anything and took me away from here.
The Water God Festival was held in the square in the center of the city. It was already crowded with people and very lively. Du Yue took me to a beautifully decorated stand, which was already full of people. They were all dignitaries in the city, dressed in fancy clothes and speaking elegantly.
"Everyone, please allow me to introduce a new friend to you,"
Du Yue pointed at me with a meaningful smile on her face, "This is Feng Ziang, who was specially invited by Lord Poseidon."
People cast their eyes on me, with curiosity, scrutiny, disdain... all kinds of looks made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I felt like an alien being put under the spotlight for people to watch, and I didn't know what to do.
"I heard that Feng Ziang is proficient in all kinds of Qimen Dunjia techniques on earth, so today I specially invited her to perform for everyone. Everyone welcome!" Du Yue said, and took the lead in applauding.
I was stunned. Performance? I can't perform anything! I looked at Du Yue for help, but found that she was looking at me with a look of anticipation, with a barely perceptible sneer on her lips.
"Fuck, you're here to mess with me again"
At this time, a well-dressed man walked out of the crowd. He walked towards me with a smile on his face and in a gentle manner.
"Zi'ang, hello, I'm Bi Fusheng, it's an honor to meet you."
I recognized him as the man who appeared at my door with Du Yue that day, and I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Hello, Bi Fusheng." I responded politely, but there was a hint of vigilance in my tone.
"I heard that Ziang was specially invited by Lord Poseidon. He must have seen many strange things that we have never heard of. Why don't we take this opportunity to broaden our horizons?" Bi Fusheng's voice sounded gentle, but it gave people an invisible pressure.
I knew I had fallen into their carefully designed trap.
"I am not familiar with Lord Poseidon. I have only met him a few times."
As soon as I finished speaking, the crowd around me started to make noises. Some of them asked me to show my martial arts skills, some asked me to do magic tricks, and some even asked me to compose a poem on the spot. I was so amused by their unreasonable requests, but I didn't know how to refuse.
My palms were full of cold sweat, and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I looked at Du Yue for help, but found that she was looking at me with a smug look on her face, her eyes full of happiness and joy.
I knew that I was doomed today. Rather than being toyed with by them, I would rather find a way out for myself.
"Everyone, I..."
I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm. "I'm not feeling well today. I'm afraid I can't perform for you. Sorry."
Before I finished speaking, there was a burst of booing from the crowd. They began to blame me, insult me, and some even threw things at me.
I closed my eyes in despair, letting those dirty words pierce my eardrums and my heart like sharp blades.
“That’s enough!”
At this moment, a deep and majestic voice sounded, and the crowd suddenly quieted down.
I suddenly opened my eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a tall and straight figure walking towards me. He was wearing a light blue Xuanbing robe, with long blue hair tied up high behind his head. There was a hint of coldness on his knife-like face, and a sharp light flashed in his deep eyes.
It's Poseidon, the god of the sea!
"Oh my god! He is so handsome! The sea water becomes gentle in front of him"
A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in my heart, as if I saw a lighthouse in the vast ocean, guiding me in the direction.
Lord Poseidon walked up to me, gently pulled me behind him, and protected me with his tall body.
"Anyone who dares to touch him will be my enemy!"
Ge Yun's voice was icy cold, as if it came from a messenger from hell, making people shudder.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lord Poseidon, their eyes filled with awe and fear.
My sister and cousin didn't expect that Lord Poseidon would suddenly appear, and their faces turned very ugly.
"Long live Poseidon!" said my cousin, kneeling down.
"Everyone, get up!"
Lord Poseidon has a cold and handsome face. The underwater world has a strict class status. Poseidon is the king of all mermaids and they must obey him unconditionally.
Facing the cold words from Lord Poseidon, my sister still trembled in her heart!
When Du Yue saw Lord Poseidon coming to protect me and rescue me, he was filled with envy and jealousy. If looks could kill, I would have been torn into pieces by Du Yue's eyes.
I took the opportunity to hold the hand of Poseidon tightly. His hand was so white, soft and comfortable! The sunlight on his long fingers shone through the sea water on his body. There really is such a good-looking man in this world. It turned out to be Poseidon.
My hands were tightly pressed together, and Lord Poseidon sensed it and turned his head to look at me gently: "You, what's wrong!"
"No, no." How could I dare to say that it was because you were too handsome and I wanted to hold you for a while longer.
Du Yue could no longer control her emotions. She clenched her fists and whispered, "How dare this bastard seduce the Sea God?"
When Bi Fusheng saw Du Yue was angry, he wanted to go forward and grab Du Yue, but was stopped by his sister with a look.
"What do you want to do?" asked my sister.
Du Yue ignored her sister, but turned her head, looked at me fiercely, and whispered: "Keep an eye on your brother, a natural fox will seduce men"
"What are you talking about? What did my brother do to you?"
My sister responded to Du Yue in a low voice, the appearance of Lord Poseidon is like a ray of light, illuminating the abyss of my despair. I am addicted to his beauty and cannot extricate myself. At this moment, I am the happiest little mermaid in the sea and don’t want to go home at all.
The gods who were monitoring Feng Ziang in the temple were speechless. The system beeped, "Hey! This guy!"
The appearance of Lord Poseidon was undoubtedly like a solid wall, keeping out all the ridicule and malice towards me.
"I am just a weak man, do I want to be protected?"
Lord Poseidon exuded a cold aura and scanned the crowd sharply. Those who had been shouting suddenly became silent and unconsciously took a few steps back.
Du Yue and Bi Fusheng were also frightened by his aura and their faces turned very ugly.
"Feng Ziang, don't think you can win favor by doing this. I am not done with you. Lord Poseidon is mine!"
Du Yuese said sternly, "You are just a lowly mermaid..."
Before she finished her words, Lord Poseidon suddenly waved his hand, and a strong air current instantly knocked her to the ground. Seeing this, Bi Fusheng's face changed drastically, and he wanted to go forward to help Du Yue up, but he was frightened by Lord Poseidon's fierce eyes and froze in place.
"I don't want to hear any more insults about her."
The voice of Poseidon was icy cold, with unquestionable majesty, "Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."
"How could Feng Ziang's fall confuse you? I am the daughter of the shark general of the seabed. It is our family that is doing our best to protect the safety of the seabed."
"So what? I have been very tolerant of your willfulness."
"It's alright, Lord Poseidon. Du Yue didn't mean it. She just loves you too much. I won't bother with her."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at me softly, with a hint of apology in his tone: "I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged."
I shook my head, my heart was filled with emotion. I knew that everything he did was to protect me, how could I not be happy to have such a handsome guy?
The powerful strength of Lord Poseidon shocked everyone present and filled me with confidence.
Thunderous applause broke out in the crowd, and people cheered for Ge Yun's wonderful performance.
I looked at Du Yue who was standing in the middle of the mermaids and said, "Don't be too happy too soon!"
Du Yue's sharp voice echoed among the crowd, "Do you know who she is? She is not from our world at all!"
The crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Du Yue.
"She is a time traveler!" Du Yue pointed at me and said loudly, "She doesn't understand the culture and customs of our sea people at all. After Feng Ziang was knocked unconscious, Lord Poseidon became abnormal. He was possessed by an evil spirit just for..."
"Why"
I couldn't stand her slander any longer and angrily interrupted her, "Du Yue, what on earth do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?"
Du Yue sneered, "I just want everyone to see your true face!"
She turned around, faced the crowd, and shouted, "Have you all been fooled by him? He doesn't belong here at all! He is an alien, a monster!"
