Yu Xiaogang's Pursuit Moved Liu Erlong
"How could this happen? Can't you hear my love?"
Yu Xiaogang struggled to his feet.
"I must have been too rash. That's right, this wasn't how we met in our previous life. My Erlong must have been frightened by my passionate love."
The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth rose.
He forced an expression onto his face: thirty percent sneer, forty percent nonchalance, ten percent arrogance, ten percent heartlessness, and ten percent indifference.
He looked at Liu Erlong's tightly shut door. "Don't worry, Erlong. My charming features are just the beginning of what you won't be able to resist!"
Yu Xiaogang stood up straight, kept smiling, and gazed affectionately at the door.
Inside the house, Liu Erlong was furious too.
Where did this edgy little schoolkid come from? With that god-awful face of his, he came knocking and started talking about Martial Soul Fusion with me.
Isn't he just making a complete joke of himself?
Why don't you throw up a V sign while you're at it?
Liu Erlong could barely keep herself together at the thought of that buzz-cut face.
She rubbed her head irritably. "No, I still want to beat that guy up!"
Liu Erlong got to her feet again and shoved the door open with a bang. At a glance, she spotted that buzz-cut face.
Fuck me, he's still staring!
Liu Erlong raised a long leg and planted a kick in Yu Xiaogang's chest, sending him flying.
Yu Xiaogang really could fly.
"Fuck, that feels much better." Liu Erlong felt her mind open up.
Yu Xiaogang spewed a mouthful of blood.
The kick had broken two of his ribs. Liu Erlong hadn't held back at all.
"How could this happen..." Yu Xiaogang spat out another mouthful of blood. "My love, why, why are you hiding from me?"
Yu Xiaogang died again.
Inside Spirit Hall.
Lu Jin was recounting what would happen in the future.
Qian Xunji was utterly speechless with Bibi Dong by now. How could this girl be so stupid? Someone had already gotten their hands on the cultivation method, and she was sitting here giggling?
I'll fucking giggle two big slaps across your face!
With no hope for his disciple, Qian Xunji could only take the initiative and ask a question that wouldn't cause offense. "Senior, my engagement to Ling Yuan is approaching, and there's a question that has been troubling me. I hope to clear it up before the engagement."
"Mm, go ahead."
Qian Xunji chose his words carefully. "It's a fact that Ling Yuan's talent isn't as great as Dong'er's. If Ling Yuan and I marry, will our child still be that dazzling Qian Renxue?"
At the question, Lu Jin hesitated for a moment and glanced at the world's thread of fate.
Qian Renxue would indeed come into the world, and she would indeed be Qian Xunji's daughter, but even Lu Jin couldn't be sure whether the Qian Renxue ultimately born would be the original one.
As his interference with the world grew deeper, many things in the future had become somewhat blurry and unpredictable.
"Qian Xunji, then let me ask you: do you want that dazzling Qian Renxue, or your daughter Qian Renxue, who regards you, her father, as her heaven?"
"This..." Qian Xunji hesitated. "Senior, if my daughter can complete the task passed down through generations of the Qian Family, I..."
"Even if the price of completing that task is seeing your father sacrifice himself to your daughter with your own eyes?"
Qian Xunji clenched his fists. He couldn't answer that question.
Lu Jin knew when to stop. "You should know that I had Spirit Hall send people to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even if Qian Renxue isn't that dazzling Qian Renxue, the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can make your daughter into a Qian Renxue capable of inheriting the Angel Godhood. As for what you actually need, only you know that."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji lowered his head. "I understand, Senior. Thank you for clearing up my confusion."
Lu Jin nodded. "Then let's continue. We've finished talking about Tang San's first Soul Ring. Next are the things he got up to in Nuoding City. They're rather boring..."
Sunset Forest.
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The people from Spirit Hall had arrived several days earlier. Although they had come prepared to meet a new Titled Douluo, they couldn't help being shocked the moment they saw Bo Saixi.
Her otherworldly bearing and the air of nobility she couldn't conceal both showed that this woman was no ordinary person.
Yet someone like her was actually Lord Lu's subordinate.
Bo Saixi swept a glance around. "The defensive structures must be built to last. There are already people coveting this place. If you let some petty thieves into Lord Ancient God's treasured land, even Spirit Hall won't be able to protect you!"
"U-understood!"
Bo Saixi watched the slow construction work, anxious herself.
At this rate, it would take at least another half month to finish building. Only then could she go to Spirit City and see Lord Ancient God, whom she longed for day and night.
As for the Immortal Herbs and treasures at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Bo Saixi had no interest in them at all, even if she recognized some of them.
Now, nothing was more important than completing the task Lu Jin had given her, and nothing was more urgent than seeing Lu Jin's true appearance.
Yu Xiaogang wasn't reborn until evening. His revival was noticeably much slower this time.
This was because Lu Jin had made major changes to his thread of fate. Under the influence of Lu Jin's actions, this world's ability to interfere with fate would decline considerably.
Yu Xiaogang clutched his chest and gasped for breath. "I'm alive. I'm alive again..."
He struggled to his feet. The sensation of being sent flying by Liu Erlong's kick still lingered. Death was no pleasure, and dying repeatedly was a form of torture.
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists. "Liu Erlong, you forced me to do this. You'd better hope I don't win you over, or else..."
He gave a cold snort. As Liu Erlong's lover in his previous life, he knew all too well what she liked.
Yu Xiaogang immediately went to the market to buy a bouquet.
Liu Erlong liked growing flowers and admiring them. As long as he brought her flowers, he was sure to catch her eye!
Yu Xiaogang arrived at a flower stall.
Yu Xiaogang picked up a large bunch of flowers and discovered he had no money.
Yu Xiaogang could fly.
After an unknown number of beatings, Yu Xiaogang finally came out clutching the flowers.
Yu Xiaogang whistled through his teeth when he spoke; one of his front teeth had been knocked out.
But he smiled happily. "My efforts will surely move Liu Erlong, and then she'll become a great help to me!"
"Pay for flowers? I, Yu Xiaogang, am a reborn protagonist. How could I possibly spend money?"
Carrying the bouquet, he happily headed for Liu Erlong's home.
As it happened, Liu Erlong was also returning from buying daily necessities. Seeing someone holding flowers at her door, she jumped in fright. "Holy crap, where did this pig demon gain sentience?"
"Erlong, I'm not a pig demon." Yu Xiaogang grinned, his missing front tooth unable to hold back his strong breath. "It's me. My feelings for you run deeper than a pig demon's for a beauty. Can you feel my love?"
Liu Erlong didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.
Is this even human?
Is this something a human being would do?
If this keeps up, I'm going to go dark!
She clenched her fists. "So you're the one who snatched flowers at the market without paying!"
Yu Xiaogang smiled and nodded. "Yes, Erlong. For you, I'm willing to bear all the infamy!"
Liu Erlong was starting to lose it. What does your robbery have to do with me?
Do I need you to become a thief for my sake?
So I'm supposed to be touched, is that it?
Yu Xiaogang thought what he'd done was cool and said with a smile, "Erlong, are you moved?"
"I'll move..." Liu Erlong clenched her fists, stepped to the side, and threw another kick.
Yu Xiaogang could fly.
