Liu Erlong's anger +50000 Liu Erlong's resentment +50000

Liu Erlong had just felt the slightest bit of gratitude toward Qian Xunji, but now she wanted nothing more than to cut him into a thousand pieces.

Her temper was boiling, yet she did not dare erupt. Qian Xunji was using the people most important to her to threaten her. She had no choice but to follow his demands, trembling as she said word by word:

"Y-you're the Pope of Spirit Hall. You like me, but what can you give me?"

Following Qian Xunji's instructions, Liu Erlong repeated every word he wanted her to say. Her expression perfectly conveyed that of a materialistic woman interested in the powerful and wealthy.

If one listened carefully, they would notice that Liu Erlong's body was trembling slightly as she spoke.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender had both assumed Liu Erlong would choose Yu Xiaogang without hesitation. Neither of them had expected her to ask such a question.

"I am the Pope of Spirit Hall. Is there anything in this world that I, Qian Xunji, cannot obtain? Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Whether it is wealth or status, follow me, and I can even guarantee that you will become a Titled Douluo," Qian Xunji said.

Liu Erlong gave Yu Xiaogang a deep look.

"Er Long." Yu Xiaogang began to realize that something was wrong.

Though her heart ached, Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang with deliberate disdain and said, "Xiao Gang, my father said that you are only my cousin. We are brother and sister, and we are not suitable for each other. Besides... you are only a level twenty-nine Soul Master. You cannot give me what I want."

As she spoke, Liu Erlong walked over to Qian Xunji, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him before saying, "Therefore, I choose Pope Your Majesty."

Yu Xiaogang was unable to speak. Especially Liu Erlong's last words: You are only a level twenty-nine Soul Master. You cannot give me what I want.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt a profound sense of inferiority.

On the other side, Flender could no longer sit still. If the woman he loved chose Yu Xiaogang, then Flender could only silently accept it. But how could he accept her choosing Qian Xunji?

"Er Long, I know you have always deeply loved Xiao Gang. Why... why won't you tell the truth?"

"The truth?" Liu Erlong's body trembled, as though she were enduring something, but a moment later, determination flashed through her eyes. She said firmly, "Boss Flander, and Xiao Gang, I had no other choice before. If I had to choose between the two of you, then I would choose Xiao Gang. But now I have a better choice. I am willing to entrust the rest of my life to Pope Your Majesty."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, this is my good daughter! What the hell is Yu Xiaogang compared to our Pope Your Majesty? Pope Your Majesty is the best match for you," Yu Luomian said with satisfaction.

Fortunately, this bargain daughter had not been foolish at the critical moment and had chosen Qian Xunji. Naturally, he and Qian Xunji would become in-laws.

"Enough." Qian Xunji pulled Liu Erlong into his arms and kissed her right in front of Xiao Gang.

Liu Erlong's humiliation +50000 Liu Erlong's resentment +50000 Yu Xiaogang's humiliation +50000 Yu Xiaogang's resentment +50000 Flender's humiliation +45000

Delighted to harvest a huge wave of Emotion Points from Xiao Gang and the others, Qian Xunji said, "Since this is Er Long's choice, then Yu Xiaogang, I must apologize. Er Long belongs to me now."

With that, Qian Xunji carried Liu Erlong in his arms and prepared to leave the church.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt deeply resentful and humiliated. As Qian Xunji carried Liu Erlong away, he deliberately faced Yu Xiaogang, parted his lips, and mouthed a message:

Beauty belongs only to the strong!

Pfft—

Yu Xiaogang understood Qian Xunji's meaning and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Only the strong deserved women. Was Yu Xiaogang strong? Before Qian Xunji, he was merely a lowly level twenty-nine Soul Master. Even Liu Erlong, who had once loved him so deeply, had changed her mind midway and chosen Qian Xunji. What did he have left?

Along with his inferiority, Yu Xiaogang felt a deep hatred toward Qian Xunji. Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong—both were proud daughters of heaven who had deeply loved him. Both had once loved him with unwavering devotion.

Yet it was all because of Qian Xunji that Yu Xiaogang had lost two marriages.

Thousand Thief, Thousand Thief, I, Yu Xiaogang, will never coexist with you!

Thinking of how Liu Erlong had just exchanged Vows of eternal love with him, how they had just completed their wedding ceremony and become husband and wife, with only the bridal chamber left, only for her to turn around and throw herself into Qian Xunji's arms, Yu Xiaogang felt as if his head were covered in green light.

Along with that, Yu Xiaogang came to hate Liu Erlong as well.

Liu Erlong, you lowly woman who clings to power and worships vanity. Do you think I, Yu Xiaogang, have to have you?

"Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang!" Seeing the savage expression on Yu Xiaogang's face, Flender hurriedly shook him, snapping him out of his daze.

"Flender..." Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender with a hoarse voice, not knowing what to say. He turned and walked toward the door, his back utterly desolate.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang only wanted to escape this place, escape this place that filled him with such humiliation. He wanted to find any Spirit Hall branch, collect his monthly stipend, then find somewhere to drink himself senseless and draw ten thousand circles as he viciously cursed Qian Xunji and Liu Erlong, that dog of a man and bitch of a woman.

"Xiao Gang, do you truly think Er Long is really the kind of woman who clings to the powerful and worships vanity?" Flender asked furiously as he looked at the distraught Yu Xiaogang.

"Isn't she? She said right in front of me that I was only a level twenty-nine Soul Master, that I could not give her what she wanted." Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I am only a level twenty-nine Soul Master. I am not worthy of her."

Flender responded to Yu Xiaogang with a fist, knocking him to the ground.

Yu Xiaogang touched his bruised face and demanded, "Why did you hit me?"

"I hit you because you deserved it, Yu Xiaogang," Flender said. "The three of us have been together for so long. Don't you know what kind of person Er Long is? If she were the sort to cling to the powerful, why would she refuse to acknowledge her father, the Second Elder of the Upper Three Sects? Er Long knew Qian Xunji's identity from the start, yet her eyes held only you. When Qian Xunji presented that choice, why did Er Long's attitude change so drastically? Haven't you smelled something fishy here?"
