Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong exploded with rage.
"Damn!"
"Are you bastards even human?"
"I'm going crazy! I'm in the same group chat as you people—aren't any of you normal?"
Liu Erlong was furious to the point of near collapse.
What was she supposed to do?
Should she change her name now, or not?
["I Don't Have the Surname Yu" changed their name to "Liu Erlong".] [Hu Liena: six.] [Group Member Number Nine: No wonder she calls Bibi Dong an old woman every morning after waking up. So it's true that love rivals get especially jealous when they meet!] [Su Yan: She's already changed her name, so let's skip the details and get straight to the soul-searching question: did Yu Xiaogang know Liu Erlong's identity beforehand?] [Su Yan: Yu Xiaogang is Master. Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong just said that he was talented, and he had suffered humiliation since childhood. He had also read all sorts of information on the Blue Tyrant Family and Spirit Hall, synthesized the Top Ten Martial Soul Theories, and because his Martial Soul Mutation had turned him into trash, his specialty was researching all kinds of Martial Soul Mutations, inherited Martial Souls, and so on.] [Su Yan: Now Liu Erlong—Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter—also had a Martial Soul Mutation... Right! Liu Erlong, your Fire Dragon Martial Soul Mutation should have been recorded by your family, shouldn't it? Yu Yuanzhen would also have notified his own son whenever a new case of Martial Soul Mutation appeared, right?] [Everyone: ???] [Su Yan: Fine! Let's assume Yu Xiaogang never saw it. But Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender—the three of you managed to develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Don't tell me you weren't familiar with each other?] [Su Yan: And this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was the Golden Sacred Dragon centered around Yu Xiaogang. You're saying they developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together, but never even talked?] [Su Yan: I'm guessing they definitely weren't close. They simply didn't know each other at all. Otherwise, how could Yu Xiaogang, who had spent his entire life researching Martial Soul Mutations, fail to recognize that Liu Erlong was from the Yu Family?] [Yanzi is not Swallow: Holy crap! Th-this-this???] [Seven Treasures Little Princess: You already developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and it was even the Golden Sacred Dragon centered around Yu Xiaogang. Liu Erlong, you really are brain-dead!] [Cat in the Shadow: Completely brain-dead. Completely blind.] [I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong, you two really are good Sisters, a perfect pair. I suggest you just live together from now on.] [Little Moon: Although I don't know much about cultivation, I do know that Martial Soul Fusion Skills are very difficult. Most of them involve close blood ties, like Brothers and Sisters, with deep bonds between them.] [Group Member Number Nine: Liu Erlong, did you really never suspect... Wait, no. Did you never even ask Yu Xiaogang what his name was?] [Hu Liena: Isn't Yu Xiaogang called Yu Xiaogang?] [Everyone: ???]
However.
Everyone waited in vain for Liu Erlong's reply. How could she possibly have the mood to respond now?
[Su Yan: Here comes something that makes me grit my teeth in hatred again. On their wedding day, Liu Erlong's Father, Yu Luomian, appeared and told them the truth. Then Yu Xiaogang ran away again, leaving Liu Erlong to disappear from the world from then on.] [Su Yan: That's right, he ran away again. Let's not even discuss whether he knew Liu Erlong's identity beforehand. He just ran away again, vanishing without a trace from then on!] [Su Yan: Just imagine it. On your wedding day, your Father tells you that the groom is your cousin, and the cousin you love simply vanishes from the world, leaving you alone to face society's mockery, your relatives' humiliation, and the pain of losing your lover. With your life nothing but darkness, would there still be any meaning in living?] [Everyone: Is that polite?] [Su Yan: I actually admire Liu Erlong here. If it were anyone else, how could they still have the face to live? They probably would have slit their own throat long ago.] [Su Yan: And Bibi Dong too. She experienced despair in that pitch-black Secret Chamber, a fate worse than death. Did she want to die but fear that Qian Xunji would hurt Yu Xiaogang? You two really are damn good at simping!] [Su Yan: That weak, useless, irresponsible piece of trash Yu Xiaogang ruined two women's lives. You have no objections if I call him scum and a beast, right?] [Yanzi is not Swallow: That single phrase, "ran away again," makes me feel both amused and heartbroken. Yu Xiaogang really is scum and a beast!] [Seven Treasures Little Princess: Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, you wouldn't stop me if I wanted to beat Yu Xiaogang to death, would you?] [Su Yan: I remember now. Back then, Liu Erlong slaughtered an entire Soul Beast Forest. If Flender, that simp, hadn't kept comforting her, she probably would have fallen into madness too.] [Su Yan: Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, I truly look down on you both. You committed your own sins and were blind yourselves, so you wanted to take revenge on the whole world to vent your anger? Did the whole world provoke you?] [Loves Eating Carrots: Liu Erlong! Are you even human? Yu Xiaogang deceived you, so why did you slaughter Soul Beasts? You're no good either!]
Xiao Wu was so furious that she exploded.
[Cat in the Shadow: I get it now. Either Yu Xiaogang was scum and trash, or he did it deliberately.] [Group Member Number Nine: What do you mean, deliberately?] [Cat in the Shadow: Didn't they mention it earlier? He suffered humiliation from childhood and was driven out by his family. Do you think he might hate his clansmen?] [Little Moon: I understand now. Liu Erlong's Father came from a branch family. That branch must have been the one that humiliated him the most.] [I Am an Orphan: Given how familiar they had to be to develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it's impossible that they didn't know each other's identities. Someone must have been deliberately hiding it.] [Seven Treasures Little Princess: That makes sense. No matter how stupid Liu Erlong was, she couldn't have decided to get married without even asking about the other person's family, right?] [Hu Liena: You didn't ask about his family, and you didn't even think about his name? Yu Xiaogang has the surname Yu and can form the Golden Sacred Dragon. Liu Erlong, you're even more brain-dead and blind than my Teacher!] [Bibi Dong: ???]
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong had completely lost her soul. She stood there like a puppet, her eyes utterly devoid of life.
Slap.
She fell freely onto the grass. Her emotions had reached their limit; when grief reached a certain point, one truly could not cry.
It was truly a family of three Confucians:
Like thorns in her back, like needles beneath her, like a bone stuck in her throat.
In truth, these questions had not only arisen today. Liu Erlong's Father, Yu Luomian, had scolded her before: Yu Xiaogang was already called Yu Xiaogang. Why hadn't she asked which branch of the Yu Family he belonged to?
But the Liu Erlong of the past had been blinded by love. She had never doubted Yu Xiaogang at all.
And.
Liu Erlong had always regarded Yu Xiaogang as the most hardworking and most talented person. She had never considered him trash.
Whoever dared call Yu Xiaogang trash, Liu Erlong would immediately fight them. Anyone who mocked Xiao Gang simply did not understand him; they were all jealous of him.
So now came the question.
Yu Xiaogang had a Martial Soul Malignant Mutation. He had spent his entire life researching this field. Could he really have known nothing?
No matter how much Su Yan and the others cursed Yu Xiaogang as trash, Liu Erlong knew that Yu Xiaogang could not possibly have been trash to that extent, could he?
Lies did not hurt people. The truth was a sharp blade.
Memories surfaced one after another, each one like a thousand knives cutting into her heart.
Liu Erlong lay on the grass and closed her eyes. Her heart was in complete turmoil. Had Yu Xiaogang spent his whole life researching Martial Soul Mutations because he was truly useless, or had he done it deliberately?
She did not know what to think, much less how to face it.
Even.
Liu Erlong truly hoped that Yu Xiaogang was just trash—a useless piece of trash, a plagiarizing piece of trash. That would still be better than him doing it deliberately!
The flower petals scattered across the ground came from the flowers Liu Erlong had destroyed in anger earlier. Now she lay on the ground with her eyes closed in despair. The scene truly possessed a bleak sort of beauty.
Withered chrysanthemums, wounds covering the ground~
Your smile had already faded yellow~
Flowers fell, and hearts broke~
My thoughts quietly lay still~
