Liu Erlong's Self-Reproach

After the meal, Huang Tian led Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong out of the cafeteria, wandering around Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Greetings, Dean."

"Dean."

When the students saw Liu Erlong, they politely bowed and greeted her before quickly leaving. None of them dared disturb the dean here, so after offering their greetings, they hastened away.

"Erlong, I'll take Yuehua back to Moonlight Pavilion first. I'll come find you later and teach you the new Nine Heavens Profound Technique." After the three had walked for ten minutes, Huang Tian suddenly spoke.

"Alright, Husband, take Sister Yuehua back first." Liu Erlong did not dare ask why Huang Tian was leaving so soon. She quickly replied, afraid of responding too slowly.

"Sister Erlong, we'll be going now. See you next time!" Tang Yuehua nodded at Liu Erlong and said with a smile.

"Mhm, see you next time!"

Huang Tian wrapped an arm around Tang Yuehua's slender waist and directly used Teleportation to leave, leaving Liu Erlong alone. Looking at the empty surroundings, she sighed and turned back toward her residence.

Inside Moonlight Pavilion, Huang Tian appeared in Tang Yuehua's room with her. He sat down at the edge of the bed, looking sullen. Tang Yuehua knew that Huang Tian was angry with Liu Erlong, so she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him. Smiling, she said, "Husband, there's no need for you to be angry with Sister Erlong. The fact that she was so worried about Yu Xiaogang only shows that she is a woman who values loyalty and righteousness, someone responsible and dependable. Besides, she didn't do anything improper. After your reminder just now, Sister Erlong has already come to her senses. There is no need to get upset over an irrelevant person. It simply isn't worth it!"

"I know. I'm not that petty either. Otherwise, when I married her back then, I would have dealt with her ex long ago. But I didn't, because I was afraid that if Erlong found out someday that I had done it, she would be angry with me. That was why I never acted. Now that he's gone mad, Erlong is still this concerned about him. It makes me increasingly suspect that letting Yu Xiaogang live was the wrong decision."

"Husband, your decision wasn't wrong! Don't worry, Sister Erlong has already realized her mistake. Besides, she just said that she would send Yu Xiaogang back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She will no longer have anything to do with him, nor will she ever care about him again!" Tang Yuehua comforted him.

Huang Tian sighed. "I hope so. As long as she can figure out exactly where she went wrong, that's enough."

At Blue Tyrant Academy, Flender hurried over to Liu Erlong's side and asked awkwardly, "Sister Erlong, what should we do about Xiaogang?"

"What should we do? Find a physician. If the physician can't cure him, find a healing-type Soul Master. Also, I've decided to send him back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He can no longer appear at the academy. You will handle this matter. When you send him over, tell them it is my decision. None of them will dare refuse to take him in.

"Also, don't mention this person in front of me again. I am the wife of the deity Huang Tian, no longer the Corner of Slaughter who once roamed the Soul Master world with you. Our statuses are different!" Liu Erlong said coldly, her face stern.

Hearing the meaning behind Liu Erlong's words and seeing her expression, the worldly-wise Flender had already guessed what had happened earlier. She was avoiding suspicion. And rightly so—what man could tolerate his woman constantly meeting with her ex, even if they were only discussing work? What was more, Liu Erlong was the wife of a powerful deity. Given her status, it would be easy for others to use this small weakness to slander her. When that happened, it would not be only Blue Tyrant Academy that lost face! Xiaogang being allowed to live was already the greatest tolerance the deity could show.

"Alright, Sister Erlong, don't worry. I'll safely send Xiaogang to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and remove his name from Blue Tyrant Academy. However, his monthly teaching allowance will still be issued to him." Flender adjusted the glasses on his nose as he spoke.

"Mhm. Handle it as you see fit. There's no need to report it to me." Liu Erlong answered, then walked toward her room without looking back.

After watching Liu Erlong walk away, Flender sighed but said nothing. He went off to handle matters. As the first vice dean, there were plenty of trivial affairs in the academy that required his attention.

After returning to her room, Liu Erlong reflected on her behavior over the past two months and felt annoyed with herself for failing to pay attention to the boundaries of her status. She truly should not have acted that way. Fortunately, Tang Yuehua had awakened her in time. Sigh... she should have been mindful of her identity from the beginning and known to avoid suspicion. Then she would not have made her husband angry.

Her tears began falling uncontrollably again. The more Liu Erlong thought about it, the more remorseful she became. Her husband had already made enormous concessions for her, yet she had taken them for granted. She had truly become spoiled by his favor!

Fortunately, she had realized it in time. She had also told Flender to send Yu Xiaogang away tomorrow, so nothing like this would happen again. From now on, Yu Xiaogang would be someone entirely unrelated to her.

Two hours later, Huang Tian teleported from Tang Yuehua's side into Liu Erlong's room. He saw her sitting on a chair, her eyes red and swollen. It was obvious that she had cried for a long time, and there were still dried tear stains on her face. Her mind was so unsettled that she had not even noticed his arrival. It seemed that she had spent these past two hours drowning in self-reproach.

Huang Tian sighed, reached out, and wiped the tear stains from Liu Erlong's face. This immediately startled her awake.

Liu Erlong said in delighted surprise, "Husband, you're here."

"Mhm, I'm here. Do you know where you went wrong now?" Huang Tian asked with a stern face.

"I do, Husband. I didn't do well. Please don't be angry with me anymore, alright?" Liu Erlong pleaded pitifully, her eyes full of supplication.

"Mhm. Come over. Sit cross-legged on the bed, and I'll teach you the new version of the Nine Heavens Profound Technique. Compared to the original version you cultivated before, it has more than a dozen additional circulation routes. I'll use divine power to guide you through one major cycle. After that, you can cultivate it yourself."

Liu Erlong hurried to the bed and sat cross-legged, assuming a five-hearts-facing-heaven posture and focusing her mind. Then she felt a pair of large hands press against her back. A powerful stream of divine power entered her body and began circulating through her meridians. Liu Erlong did not dare be careless and carefully sensed the route this divine power took.

"Alright, that's the circulation route. Try cultivating it through thirty-six major cycles on your own." After withdrawing his divine power back into his body, Huang Tian removed his hands from Liu Erlong's back.

"Alright, Husband." Liu Erlong answered and began cultivating.

Like Bibi Dong and Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong was extremely cautious the first time she circulated the new cultivation route. Only after completing one major cycle and becoming thoroughly familiar with it did she increase her speed during the second. By the time she had completed thirty-six major cycles, two hours had passed.

The moment she exited her cultivation state, Liu Erlong said excitedly, "Husband, this new version of your Nine Heavens Profound Technique is incredible! After thirty-six major cycles, one percent of my Soul Power has actually been converted into divine power. And my Soul Power, physical strength, and Soul Power have all increased by five percent. It's ten times more efficient than before."

Huang Tian smiled. "Mhm, that's nothing. Let me tell you some good news. Since you're already a demigod, the benefits from dual cultivation are no worse than cultivating this new version of the Nine Heavens Profound Technique. Before long, all your Soul Power will be converted into divine power, and you'll become a deity."

"Really? Husband, I want it."

With that, she rose and pounced on Huang Tian, knocking him onto the bed as she began tugging at his clothes.

For a time, the room was filled with springtime splendor.

I recommend a friend's new book, Battle Through the Heavens: Already Married to Medusa. The author is an experienced writer of two fanfiction novels, so quality is guaranteed!
