Er Long, This Is Your Fiancé

Liu Erlong also realized the seriousness of the situation. She knew Xiao Gang cared deeply about his reputation. If he learned she was his cousin, he would definitely reject her.

So Liu Erlong hurriedly said, "No, it's not like that. My name is Liu Erlong. I don't have a Dad."

"Er Long, I know you hate me for abandoning you and your mother back then, but you can't change the fact that Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan blood flows through your veins." Yu Luomian's words stabbed deeply into Yu Xiaogang's heart like a sharp blade.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong with reddened eyes, then at his second uncle, and murmured, "I... I should have noticed long ago. The connection between your Fire Dragon and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon... Er Long, your martial soul mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, didn't it? It's just that its primary attribute changed from lightning to fire, right?"

"No, it's not like that..."

Yu Xiaogang gave a bleak smile, a tear sliding from the corner of his eye. He had been born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the son of Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen. He should have awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, yet he had awakened Luo Sanpao instead, becoming the laughingstock of the clan and a disgrace in his father's eyes.

His first love, Bibi Dong, had come to nothing because of Qian Xunji's interference.

And now, after finally meeting his true love—Liu Erlong, the woman who loved him so deeply—they had already held their wedding ceremony and were only one step away from consummating their marriage. Then Yu Luomian had come straight to their door and delivered the cruel news: Liu Erlong was his cousin.

This...

This damned fate was playing a joke on true love.

"Er Long. You and Flender both knew who you were, but you kept it from me all along, didn't you?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender and Liu Erlong with a bitter smile.

Flender was at a loss, while Liu Erlong hurriedly said, "No, Xiao Gang, that's not what I meant. So what if we're siblings? I don't care! Xiao Gang, even if you're my cousin, I still love you."

Yu Xiaogang looked utterly resistant and shook his head. You don't care, but I do. If word got out that I, Yu Xiaogang, had married my cousin from the same clan, what would the world think of me?

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to bolt, a set of footsteps sounded outside.

Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo walked in. Qian Xunji even raised his hands and applauded repeatedly.

"Good, good. What a deeply moving love story. Yu Luomian, it seems we won't be becoming in-laws after all."

The moment Yu Luomian heard that, he immediately objected. How could that be acceptable? He patted his chest and said, "Pope Your Majesty, Er Long is my daughter. I'm her father. Can't I make decisions for her?"

Yu Luomian's address of "Pope Your Majesty" immediately drew the Golden Iron Triangle's attention.

Yu Xiaogang's shock +10000

Yu Xiaogang's resentment +15000

Liu Erlong's confusion +5000

Especially Yu Xiaogang. The moment he saw Qian Xunji, he clenched his fists tightly. He had no idea why Qian Xunji was here, but wherever Qian Xunji appeared, nothing good ever came of it.

Liu Erlong grabbed Yu Xiaogang, who was trying to run away. Hearing Yu Luomian's words, her beautiful brows furrowed.

In-laws? Making decisions for her? Could it be...

"Er Long, come here. This is the Pope Your Majesty of Spirit Hall, and he will be your future husband," Yu Luomian said.

Yu Luomian's words rang through the hearts of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender like thunder.

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

Flender's shock +15000

Liu Erlong's shock +20000

Yu Xiaogang's shock +25000

Then came their respective reactions. Liu Erlong's temper erupted on the spot. She said, "You, Yu Luomian, have no right to make decisions for me. You are not my father. I only love Xiao Gang."

Flender said nothing, but he stood firmly at Liu Erlong's side.

As for Yu Xiaogang, the hatred in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

Before Qian Xunji appeared, Yu Xiaogang had decided to run the instant he learned Liu Erlong was his cousin. Although he liked Liu Erlong, he could not treat his reputation as a joke.

His relationship with Liu Erlong violated familial ethics. He, Yu Xiaogang, could not marry her.

Before Qian Xunji arrived, Yu Xiaogang had already made up his mind to flee.

But Liu Erlong was, after all, a woman who had gone through the wedding ceremony with Yu Xiaogang, even if they had not consummated the marriage. No matter whom she married in the future, it would put a green hat on Yu Xiaogang's head. How could Yu Xiaogang accept that?

Fortunately, Flender was still around!

Yu Xiaogang knew one thing very clearly: Flender had the lust but not the nerve. Even if he cuckolded someone, it would never be Yu Xiaogang. And Liu Erlong would only ever be interested in him, not Flender. This way, his reputation would be preserved, and he could prevent a green hat from appearing on his head. Then he could simply find some place to drink himself into oblivion and weep about fate's unfairness toward him. The plan was perfect.

But plans could never keep up with change. Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to run, Qian Xunji arrived.

Judging from the exchange between Yu Luomian and Qian Xunji, his second uncle actually intended to give his woman to Qian Xunji. How could Yu Xiaogang tolerate that?

He could not accept marrying his own cousin, but he absolutely could not allow anyone else to lay hands on his woman either. If Qian Xunji married Liu Erlong, then what would that make Yu Xiaogang?

Bibi Dong had already been ruined by Qian Xunji. He could not allow Liu Erlong to be ruined as well.

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang's hand, which had once resisted, once again settled around Liu Erlong's slender waist. He decided to force Qian Xunji away first, then have a proper talk with Er Long afterward: the two of them were not suitable for each other.

When Liu Erlong felt Yu Xiaogang's hand around her waist, she was instantly overjoyed. Sure enough, Xiao Gang still loves me.

Liu Erlong's anger +20000

Liu Erlong's disgust +30000

Flender's anger +15000

Yu Xiaogang's resentment +50000

Yu Xiaogang's resentment +50000

"You wretched girl, I'm your Dad! You dare disobey me? Have you forgotten who you inherited that martial soul from? Believe it or not, I'll cripple you!" Seeing Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang acting so intimately, Yu Luomian's eyes immediately blazed with fury. He had finally found a way to connect himself to the Pope. How could he allow his daughter and nephew to ruin it?

Liu Erlong immediately said to Yu Luomian, "Then cripple me. I'm telling you, I, Liu Erlong, will love only Xiao Gang for the rest of my life, without regret."

Yu Xiaogang, standing beside her, froze. Cripple her? If her martial soul was crippled, how would his Golden Iron Triangle still be formed?

Xiao Gang stepped forward and said, "Second Uncle, Er Long likes me, and I like her too. You never fulfilled your duty to raise her, so how can you point fingers at her over such an important matter in her life?"
