How Could I, Qian Xunji, Abduct a Civilian Woman?

Yu Xiaogang plotted to lure Bibi Dong, the Twin Martial Souls genius, out of Spirit Hall and bring her back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. With Bibi Dong's unwavering devotion to him and her potential, once he, Yu Xiaogang, returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who would dare call him trash again?

Besides, this would bring a genius of extraordinary potential to the clan. With Bibi Dong's talent, her future achievements would at least begin at the level of a Super Douluo. With such a genius, coupled with Yu Xiaogang's wisdom—one scholarly, one martial—why worry about not becoming the number one clan under heaven?

In the future, his outstanding mind and Bibi Dong's exceptional womb would produce descendants who inherited the strengths of both parents, becoming the new generation's leading figures of the Douluo Continent.

Perhaps I, Yu Xiaogang, am no good at Soul Master cultivation, but as long as my son is awesome, that's good enough.

Turning Spirit Hall's genius into a genius of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while also returning to the clan and earning everyone's respect—I'm truly too clever.

However—

A flaw had appeared in this perfect plan. On the day Bibi Dong was meant to elope, she had foolishly gone to Qian Xunji and told him about it, asking him to agree to let her and Yu Xiaogang elope?

When Yu Xiaogang learned of this, he was utterly speechless. Did water get into your brain, Dong Er? You told Qian Xunji about it—does that still count as eloping? Would Qian Xunji agree to let us elope?

That was when Yu Xiaogang knew his plan had fallen apart. Sure enough, only a few days later, Bibi Dong came to see him and, under Qian Xunji's watch, severed their relationship.

"Xiao Gang, I am Spirit Hall's Saintess, while you are merely trash who will never reach Rank 29. Let us forget each other forever."

Although Yu Xiaogang had understood from Bibi Dong's signal that she was being forced, her words still deeply wounded him and dealt a severe blow to his pride.

He no longer wanted to see the woman who had hurt him, and he came to hate Qian Xunji as well.

He had staked his entire future on Bibi Dong, only for you to ruin it.

Qian Xunji, couldn't you see that Bibi Dong and I were truly in love? How could you so cruelly tear us apart? As Bibi Dong's teacher, shouldn't you have supported us instead? You were utterly unworthy of being Dong Er's teacher.

The hatred of having one's wife stolen, the grudge of having one's path blocked—irreconcilable! If not for Qian Xunji, I, Yu Xiaogang, would have long since won the beauty's hand and returned triumphantly to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, relying on Bibi Dong's love for me. This was all your fault, Qian Xunji.

Yu Xiaogang hated Qian Xunji, and he had continued hating him to this very day. Through countless days and nights, he drew circles and cursed Qian Xunji to hurry up and die, to stop getting in the way of his relationship with Dong Er.

At last, under his day-and-night curses, half of them came true. Not long ago, he received news that while Qian Xunji had been hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had infiltrated human society, he had been defeated by Tang Hao, who had just become a Titled Douluo. Spirit Hall's three Titled Douluo had been beaten so badly that one died and two were injured. That very day, Yu Xiaogang threw a party to celebrate Qian Xunji making a fool of himself in the Soul Master World. He even put Tang Hao on a pedestal and worshipped him as his idol.

But there was no further news after that. Clearly, Qian Xunji had survived the ordeal, which deeply disappointed Yu Xiaogang. He even resented Tang Hao. Why did you hammer that useless Titled Douluo to death? If you were going to hammer someone, why not hammer Qian Xunji instead?

Yu Xiaogang's Resentment +8999

Yu Xiaogang's Resentment = 8999

Wait.

Qian Xunji was slightly stunned. He had never even had a direct encounter with Yu Xiaogang, yet Yu Xiaogang had given him such a lavish gift for no reason?

Eight years had already passed. If it had been back then, just how much must Yu Xiaogang have hated me? Qian Xunji felt a wave of regret.

Hehehe.

"Pope Your Majesty, from what they said, they'll be getting married soon. Shall I have that female Soul Master captured and presented to you?" Salas asked.

Having followed Qian Xunji and tracked the Golden Iron Triangle all the way, Salas had already guessed what was going on. Clearly, Pope Your Majesty had taken a fancy to that female Soul Master.

Salas felt this was a fine opportunity to ingratiate himself with Pope Your Majesty, so he immediately made the suggestion.

"Capture? What do you mean, capture?" Qian Xunji straightened his collar and said righteously, "I am the Pope of Spirit Hall and an Angel Douluo. How could I possibly do something like abducting a civilian woman?"

"Ah..." Salas did not know what to say for a moment.

Qian Xunji continued, "Stay here and keep watch over their every move. I shall make a trip to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomian's residence.

Yu Luomian sat in the seat of honor while two people below reported the matter to him.

"Reporting to Elder Yu Luomian, Liu Erlong will hold her wedding with Yu Xiaogang in three days."

Yu Luomian was instantly shocked. He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table and said furiously, "He dares? That trash Yu Xiaogang actually wants to marry my daughter? Where would that leave my elder brother's and my dignity?"

Liu Erlong was the offspring Yu Luomian had produced with a commoner woman after a passionate night during his carefree days outside.

Under ordinary circumstances, Yu Luomian did not care whether such bastards lived or died. But Liu Erlong's talent was simply too astonishing. In her early twenties, she had already become a Soul King. What did that mean? It meant she had the makings of a Titled Douluo.

Yu Luomian had therefore entertained the thought of acknowledging Liu Erlong as his daughter. Yet at such a critical moment, Liu Erlong actually wanted to marry Yu Xiaogang?

Yu Xiaogang was his elder brother's son, while Liu Erlong was his daughter. Wouldn't their marriage be incest?

How could he acknowledge Liu Erlong after that? If this matter were made public, where would his elder brother's and his own dignity go?

"No, I must stop that useless nephew of mine. No matter what, I cannot let them go through with this marriage." Just as Yu Luomian rose to break up the lovers, a subordinate hurried in and said, "Clan Head, Pope Your Majesty has sent a visiting card."

"Pope Your Majesty?" Yu Luomian was startled and quickly said, "Invite him in at once. Be sure not to neglect him."

Although Qian Xunji's prestige had been utterly ruined after the incident with Tang Hao, and the Upper Three Sects all held some degree of contempt for him, Yu Luomian understood well that even with his dignity in tatters, Qian Xunji was still the Pope of Spirit Hall. It was fine to look down on him in private, but outwardly, the proper respect still had to be shown.

At the same time, Yu Luomian wondered what the Pope of Spirit Hall wanted with him at a time like this.
