The several Douluo of the Hall of Worship were already numb from everything they had witnessed today.
One wanted the Angel God position.
Another wanted the Sea God position.
And the Junior behind the counter was preparing to… wholesale two future Gods as security guards.
When this thought first appeared in their minds, they honestly thought they were losing it.
Future Gods acting as bouncers?
Absolutely ridiculous.
But then they remembered—
This Junior could casually raise divine force affinity like handing out candy.
If he wanted two Gods guarding his restaurant…
Was that really unreasonable?
Hiss—
They all inhaled sharply at the same time.
This world truly had gone insane in a way they would never comprehend.
At this moment, Posey's aura had undergone a complete transformation.
She was no longer the caged High Priestess trapped on Sea God Island, waiting to be sacrificed like an obedient offering.
She was someone who had suddenly seen a fork in the road—
And was about to grab the steering wheel of fate with her own hands.
Her thoughts surged violently, her emotions roared, and her ambition soared—
Clink.
A faint sound of a teacup being set down landed in the silent hall.
The sound was soft.
But in this solemn moment, it struck everyone's hearts like a hammer.
Lin Feng leaned back lazily in his reclining chair, placing his teacup aside. His indifferent dark eyes landed on Posey with quiet amusement.
He had seen enough.
You've eaten your fill.
You've drawn your prize.
Your worldview has been uprooted and replanted.
Now—
Shouldn't we talk business?
Lin Feng's lips curved slightly as he spoke.
"High Priestess Posey."
His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed through the restaurant with perfect clarity.
Posey jolted and instinctively bowed.
"Junior is here."
Lin Feng made himself more comfortable.
"The meal… you've eaten."
"The prize… you've collected."
He paused, as if generously giving her time to react.
Then, with a leisurely, almost playful tone:
"Then your 'traitor'…"
He deliberately dragged out the words.
"Shouldn't you be setting off to catch her now?"
Boom.
This one sentence was a social nuclear bomb.
It detonated over Posey's head so violently that she could practically hear her dignity shattering.
Her pretty face—still flushed with excitement over becoming a potential God—
Instantly turned redder than a cooked shrimp.
Traitor?
Catch a traitor?
Catch your sister!
Catch your hair!
That Sea Witch blockhead was probably still lost crying in some random forest!
Posey herself knew she was here to eat!
Old Qian Daoliu knew she was here to eat!
Everyone here knew she was here to eat!
But why—
WHY—
did Junior have to say it out loud in front of everyone?!
Posey wanted to die.
She opened her mouth—
Closed it—
Opened it—
Closed it again.
Her brain was blank.
What now?
Say "Oh, I'll go catch her now," and walk out the door?
Walk out?
If she left today, she might never eat this godly rice again!
That was worse than death!
At that moment, Posey made her decision.
She clenched her teeth—
THUD.
The sound echoed like thunder.
To everyone's disbelief, the esteemed Sea God Douluo, Posey, dropped to one knee before Lin Feng's counter!
Her sea-blue hair cascaded like a waterfall, her hand pressed to her chest, her noble head lowered.
Her movements carried the solemnity of a knight kneeling to their deity.
But—
Her next sentence made every single person feel their worldview collapsing.
In a voice full of tragic righteousness, she declared—
"Senior!"
"After careful consideration, I believe this matter is far more complex than it appears!"
She sharply raised her head, her eyes blazing with an exaggerated flame of "justice."
"That traitorous Sea Witch is cunning and devious!"
"She knew Junior was pursuing her, yet she still chose to flee toward Spirit City, the core of Spirit Hall and a place filled with experts. This makes no sense!"
"Therefore, Junior dares to deduce—"
"She has likely not fled far… but is hiding within Spirit City!"
"Or even… within Spirit Hall!"
"Waiting for the chance to incite conflict between Sea God Island and Spirit Hall!"
Her tone was forceful.
Her logic was "airtight."
Her expression was righteously furious.
As if the Sea Witch wasn't a naive blockhead, but some mastermind plotting world chaos.
Ning Fengzhi's lips twitched violently.
Big Sister… how can someone be this shameless?
You're acting superior while still smelling faintly of egg fried rice!
Not one person present actually believed the Sea Witch had a brain cell to spare for "inciting conflict."
But just as Ning Fengzhi felt internal injuries rising—
Posey raised her voice again, full of burning valor.
"For the dignity of Sea God Island!"
"For the peace of the continent!"
"And to prevent the traitor's vile schemes from succeeding!"
Her voice soared.
"Junior has made a decision!"
"To stay in Spirit City—long-term!"
"And pursue her thoroughly until she is brought to justice!"
Then—
Posey's tone underwent a 180-degree shift.
Her sea-blue eyes softened with humility as she looked up at Lin Feng.
"And during this period…"
"Junior hopes to remain by Senior's side, to repay the grace of tasting such divine deliciousness!"
She straightened her back, every word steady and solemn.
"Junior dares to request—"
"To serve as Senior's gatekeeper."
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Security guard?!
The Sea God Douluo!
Level 99 Peerless Douluo!
The High Priestess of Sea God Island!
Actually applied…
To be a security guard for a restaurant?!
And for what?
Two bowls of egg fried rice a day.
Everyone had the same thought, trembling internally.
The Sea God Douluo's integrity…
…was sold for one bowl of egg fried rice.
And then mortgaged away for lifetime employment.
They were utterly numb.
Was this fall in dignity too fast?!
From "pursuing a traitor"
→ to
"applying to be a guard"
This logical jump was so terrifying it deserved to be written into a textbook.
