At the thought, Liu Erlong's eyes gradually dimmed, disappointment showing in them.
She realized that the image of the erudite, noble-minded master she had held in her heart was gradually collapsing, revealing the cowardly, insecure, selfish, and irresponsible soul within.
"Have I really fallen in love with someone I shouldn't have?"
Liu Erlong felt conflicted. She realized that her heart seemed to be gradually accepting the fact that Jade Little Sword was mediocre.
She no longer saw Jade Little Sword as her everything and was beginning to learn to think about herself.
Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her little fists, her adorable face full of anger.
"Jade Little Sword is just too despicable. He's an absolute disgrace to men."
"Not only does he look sleazy, his heart is even sleazier than his face. Someone like him ought to be sent to the emperor to become a eunuch."
Zhu Zhuqing cursed Jade Little Sword silently.
As an innocent, uncomplicated girl, she hated men who toyed with young women's feelings.
Scumbags who played with girls' feelings deserved to die. Jade Little Sword deserved an even worse punishment because he was ugly.

[I Don't Have the Surname Yu: Is Jade Little Sword really as awful as the Diary Owner says?] [I Don't Have the Surname Yu: Have I fallen in love with someone I shouldn't have?]
Heaven Dou City.
Liu Erlong was now questioning her feelings, and before she knew it, she wanted to tell the Group Members about her troubles.
Her heart told her she should trust her Little Gang, but reason told her that everything the Diary Owner, Lin Chen, had said was true.
Jade Little Sword was selfish, cowardly, and a fraud who had stolen someone else's reputation.
She didn't know what to do anymore.
[I Am Little Princess: I Don't Have the Surname Yu, are you Liu Erlong?]
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
When Ning Rongrong saw the new message in the Chat Group, she sprang out of bed.
"No wonder I Don't Have the Surname Yu kept playing devil's advocate when we were criticizing Jade Little Sword. She's Liu Erlong!"
Thinking that their Chat Group had managed to gather both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong—two Wolong and Fuchu—Ning Rongrong found it hilarious.
Still, these two Wolong and Fuchu had also given them plenty of entertainment.
[I Don't Have the Surname Yu: Mm.]
After Liu Erlong admitted it, the Group Members began composing their replies, hoping to make her see Jade Little Sword's true, despicable nature once and for all.
They had a fairly good impression of Liu Erlong; she wasn't as arrogant and foolish as Bibi Dong.
What's more, Liu Erlong had already begun to regret her choices, so they naturally wouldn't treat her the way they treated Bibi Dong.
After all, correcting one's mistakes is a great virtue.
[I Am Little Princess: No need to ask—you definitely fell for the wrong person. Jade Little Sword is a scumbag.] [I Am Little Princess: Abandoning you on your wedding day is unforgivable. If he had any guts, he'd have taken responsibility. What kind of man just runs away?] [Yanzi Will Return: Exactly! And you're still hesitating over a man like that. You really are a little foolish, just like the Diary Owner said. But you're better than a certain someone in this group—the Pope—because you know how to think for yourself and realize you fell for a scumbag.]
Spirit Hall.
Seeing another Group Member take a jab at her, Bibi Dong snorted, furious.
What did Yanzi Will Return mean? That she had no brains?
Ridiculous. How could she have no brains? How else would she have claimed the throne of Pope?
It was because she loved Little Gang so deeply that she stood by him unconditionally and trusted his character.
Unlike Liu Erlong, who didn't love Little Gang at all and so questioned his character. She felt sorry for Little Gang, having a former girlfriend like Liu Erlong.
Still, it was good to have one less rival. That way, someone as cold and unfeeling as Liu Erlong wouldn't cling to her Little Gang.
Jade Little Sword could belong to her alone!
[Yanzi Will Return: If I were you and ran into a scumbag like Jade Little Sword, I'd make him taste my Eighteen Poisons and suffer the agony of Myriad Poisons Devouring the Heart.] [Yanzi Will Return: But you're kind of foolish, too. You still have hopes for Jade Little Sword? How disappointing.]
Heaven Dou City.
A girl with an alluring, almost eerie charm held a Black Diary in her hands, trying to persuade Liu Erlong in the Chat Group in her own way.
The girl was Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
She had short, deep-purple hair and green eyes, and her snow-white skin gave her an eerie beauty.
"Ugh, how did two oddballs like this get into the Chat Group? How could they fall for a scumbag like Jade Little Sword? I just don't get it."
Dugu Yan rubbed her forehead, at a loss for words.
Jade Little Sword had neither great strength nor a handsome face. Even the theories he was most proud of had been plagiarized.
Yet Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong had fallen for someone like him as if they'd lost their minds. It was just like something out of a storybook.
Dugu Yan had still harbored some doubts about Lin Chen's claim that their world was a storybook world. But with these two oddballs around, she couldn't help believing it.
[Cat Yearning for Freedom: Exactly! Why do you still love a scumbag like Jade Little Sword? If it were me, I'd castrate him, then kill him once he'd completely given up hope.] [Love Eating Carrots: Right, right! If it were me, I'd plant him in the ground like a carrot and let him starve to death.] [Cold Eating Melon Girl: You're all so cruel. If it were me, I'd just kill him. I have principles—I kill, but I don't torture.] [I Am Little Princess: ???] [I Am Little Princess: Wait, you upstairs don't actually think you're kind, do you?] [I Am Little Princess: And weren't we trying to persuade Liu Erlong? How did we suddenly get onto ways to kill Jade Little Sword?] [I Am Little Princess: I hate that scumbag Jade Little Sword too, but the most important thing right now is to set Liu Erlong straight. Then we'll have one fewer weirdo in the Chat Group.]
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Seeing the Group Members stray further and further off topic and start discussing ways to kill Jade Little Sword, Ning Rongrong could hardly take it anymore. She had to tell them to get back to what mattered.
But if it were up to her, what kind of death would she give Jade Little Sword?
"Hmm. Burying him alive, I suppose."
"This princess really is too kind."
Thinking of Jade Little Sword being buried alive, Ning Rongrong couldn't help laughing.
[Cat Yearning for Freedom: Oh, right. How did we end up talking about ways to kill Jade Little Sword? Yanzi Will Return, it's all your fault. You're too cruel.]
Star Luo Empire.
Realizing the conversation had gone off track, Zhu Zhuqing immediately tagged Dugu Yan in the Chat Group.
If not for her, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't have started talking about ways to kill Jade Little Sword either.
