Er Long, You Wouldn't Want Anything to Happen to Xiao Gang, Would You?

After Xiao Gang finished speaking, he still had an arm around Liu Erlong's slender waist as he faced Qian Xunji without servility or arrogance.

Qian Xunji had not said a word. Simply by standing there, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong—the three Golden Chickens—continuously laid a great number of eggs for him.

How delightful. How delightful indeed.

Yu Luomian grew anxious. How could he let such a fine opportunity to establish ties with the Pope slip away? He directly unleashed the full force of a Soul Douluo's pressure, bearing down on Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was forced to his knees on the spot.

"What the hell are you? A useless trash cast out by my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and you think you deserve to marry my daughter?" Yu Luomian said.

Yu Xiaogang's humiliation +19999

Forced to kneel on the ground, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and endured it. Yet everything his body suffered was far less painful than the torment in his heart.

He had been forced to kneel helplessly before Qian Xunji. Raising his eyes, Yu Xiaogang saw Qian Xunji looking down at him from above, his gaze filled with naked contempt. Yu Xiaogang felt profound humiliation.

"Enough, Yu Luomian! You are not allowed to treat my Xiao Gang like this!" Liu Erlong rushed in front of Yu Xiaogang, spreading her arms to shield him as she struggled to withstand Yu Luomian's pressure on him.

Liu Erlong's resentment +12000

At that moment, intense resentment arose in Liu Erlong's heart. In her view, if Yu Luomian and Qian Xunji had not appeared, things between her and Yu Xiaogang would have long since been settled. Tonight, they would have entered the bridal chamber, and within three years, they would have two children. Even if Xiao Gang later learned that she was his cousin, he would have no choice but to accept it, whether he wanted to or not.

But the good thing she had going had been completely ruined by her dear "Ba Ba" and that damned beast Qian Xunji.

So what if you are Pope Your Majesty, Qian Xunji? I, Liu Erlong, don't give a damn about you.

After Yu Xiaogang had presumably knelt long enough, Qian Xunji finally stepped forward to smooth things over. He flashed behind Liu Erlong, pulled Yu Xiaogang to his feet, then released him and walked to stand before him. Addressing Yu Luomian, he said, "Enough, Elder Yu Luomian. Do not force Er Long any further. Though I bear sincere feelings for Er Long, seeing how devoted she is to Yu Xiaogang, I, Qian Xunji, am not someone who forces others against their will. How about this? I have an idea."

Yu Xiaogang had been dazedly helped to his feet by Qian Xunji. Seeing Qian Xunji standing before him, he could not guess what Qian Xunji was planning for the moment.

Qian Xunji said, "Yu Xiaogang and I will each stand on one side and let Er Long choose. Whomever she truly loves. If Er Long chooses me, then this matter will be settled. But if she does not choose me and chooses Yu Xiaogang instead, then it will prove that I, Qian Xunji, am ultimately fated to have no chance with Er Long. Even if they are cousins, love is all that matters. I will personally hold a grand wedding for Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong."

Yu Xiaogang's contempt +15000

Yu Xiaogang's panic +12000

The moment Yu Xiaogang heard this, he was delighted. The method Qian Xunji proposed was utterly ridiculous. Yu Xiaogang admitted that he might be inferior to Qian Xunji in many other respects, but when it came to knowledge of Soul Masters and Er Long's feelings for him, Qian Xunji had no chance whatsoever. Qian Xunji, it seemed you only had an empty reputation. To propose such a foolish method was simply asking for humiliation.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang found a sense of intellectual superiority over Qian Xunji.

But upon hearing Qian Xunji's last sentence, Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked.

Liu Erlong choosing him was practically a foregone conclusion. But if Er Long chose him, Pope Qian Xunji would hold a grand wedding for him and Er Long. Wouldn't that be like roasting him over a fire?

With the Pope's influence, once news of this spread, it would surely draw the attention of the entire world. Then the entire Soul Master World would know that Yu Xiaogang had married his own cousin. Where would he put his face?

No. Absolutely not.

Yu Xiaogang did not want Qian Xunji to cuckold him, but neither did he want to marry Liu Erlong, who was related to him by blood, and ruin his reputation. But...

Yu Xiaogang had no way to deal with the situation before him.

What was a difficult problem for Yu Xiaogang was much simpler for Liu Erlong.

At this moment, was the choice between Yu Xiaogang and Qian Xunji difficult for Liu Erlong?

Not difficult at all. She only needed to choose that Xiao Gang she loved. Besides, the Pope would personally hold a grand wedding for her and Xiao Gang. With the Pope of Spirit Hall backing them, Yu Luomian would not be able to stop her from being with the man she loved.

Once they were married, she would force herself on Xiao Gang and give birth to one or two babies. Then Yu Xiaogang would be tied to her for the rest of his life. He could forget about escaping.

At that moment, Liu Erlong and Flender unexpectedly developed a sliver of goodwill toward Qian Xunji.

Liu Erlong turned her head and looked at the terrified Yu Xiaogang, her gaze like that of a hunter eyeing prey.

"Pope Your Majesty." Yu Luomian hurried forward, intending to make Qian Xunji retract his decision.

In his view, Liu Erlong, that brain-damaged girl, would surely choose Yu Xiaogang and abandon Qian Xunji. Then his plan to establish ties with Spirit Hall and thereby increase his influence within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be completely ruined.

"Ah." Qian Xunji waved a hand and said, "Elder Yu Luomian, I am the Pope of Spirit Hall. A ruler's word is never spoken in jest. How could I take back what I have said?"

"Choose," Qian Xunji said to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong nodded and looked toward Xiao Gang, only to find his face filled with resistance. Her heart could not help but ache.

Xiao Gang, do you truly care that much about our status as cousins?

No. No matter what, I must seize my happiness. I will make you stop caring about the barrier between us.

With that thought, Liu Erlong took a step toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Hehehe, Er Long, you wouldn't want anything to happen to Xiao Gang, would you?"

Suddenly, a voice entered Liu Erlong's ears. She froze slightly, then turned her head to look at Qian Xunji behind her.

Qian Xunji's mouth had not even moved. Yet his eyes resembled those of an expert hunter watching its prey.

"You may make the choice you desire most in your heart, but I cannot guarantee that Xiao Gang will be able to walk out of this cathedral unscathed today."

Liu Erlong's shock +50000

Liu Erlong's anger +50000

Just as Liu Erlong was about to erupt, that voice entered her ears once more. "You need to act more naturally. I would not want my Brother Xiao Gang to notice anything suspicious. Otherwise, I may have to let Xiao Gang down."

Liu Erlong's anger +50000

Liu Erlong's fear +50000

This time, Liu Erlong forcibly suppressed the towering rage in her heart. She did not dare to erupt, because she feared Qian Xunji would vent his anger on the Yu Xiaogang she loved so deeply. It did not matter if she died, but Xiao Gang could not come to harm!

"Will you choose me, or choose for Xiao Gang to die? If you choose me, then do as I say."
