Therefore, even though they were already together, he didn't even dare to be intimate with her, fearing that any action might be a form of desecration.
They had been together for two full years, and those two years could be considered the happiest of his life.
During those two years, he shared all his whimsical ideas about martial souls with her, and she never dismissed them; instead, she listened to him very seriously and actively discussed his wild theories with him.
At that time, he felt that every day spent with her was carefree and filled with joy.
He even once believed that she was an angel sent by the heavens to compensate for the flaws in his own martial soul—an angel who belonged only to him.
It was because of her that he emerged from the shadows within his heart, determined his future path, and poured his passion into the profound study of martial souls.
However, good times never last. Just when he thought their beautiful days would continue forever, his goddess suddenly appeared before him one day and coldly told him that she had only been with him to extract his knowledge of martial souls, and that everything between them was over.
Although he could find many flaws in her words, he didn't dare to expose her.
Because she had truly left him!
Because her identity was extraordinary—she was the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall and the successor to the next Pope, Bibi Dong.
Even though he had previously realized that her status might be noble and special, he never imagined it would be to such an extent.
It was precisely because he knew Bibi Dong's identity that Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to believe everything she said.
After all, the dignified Saintess of Martial Soul Hall would not lie to him.
Most importantly, if he had insisted on being with the future successor of Martial Soul Hall, even his father, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, would not have been able to protect him, and it might have even brought disaster upon his family.
After all, the mighty Martial Soul Hall would never allow its future successor to marry into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! To Martial Soul Hall, the seven great sects were all obstacles on their path to expanding their power.
And with the strength of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at the time, they were simply no match for Martial Soul Hall!
Thus, that night, he got drunk for the first time—drunk to the point of losing consciousness, wishing he would never have to wake up again.
It wasn't until later that he met Liu Erlong.
That woman, with her lively and forthright nature, warmed his wounded heart and finally helped him step out of the shadows of his past.
However, as the saying goes, first love is always the most beautiful, and it is something one can never truly forget.
It was precisely because of this that, upon seeing Bibi Dong again, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but become dazed, and he even began to move his feet toward where she stood.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten that there was someone else by his side.
But just because he had forgotten her didn't mean that the person he ignored didn't exist.
Noticing his strange expression and seeing that his gaze was clearly not on her, Liu Erlong, who had been holding an accessory and preparing to ask for his opinion, immediately followed his line of sight.
When she saw Bibi Dong and then saw the undisguisable excitement in Yu Xiaogang's eyes as he looked at her, she understood everything in an instant.
She hadn't forgotten that Yu Xiaogang had a first love, and it was because of this first love that he had been so hesitant to accept her, keeping her hanging all this time.
If she wasn't mistaken, the woman Yu Xiaogang was looking at now must be that first love, the Bibi Dong he had never been able to let go of.
Thinking of this, Liu Erlong's expression turned cold.
At this moment, her heart was filled with dissatisfaction toward Bibi Dong, this woman who shouldn't have appeared to disturb her and Yu Xiaogang—dissatisfaction that she had already left, so why come back? Dissatisfaction that even though she clearly had another man, she still had to come and disrupt her life with Yu Xiaogang. (Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji were holding hands, and since both were the type who didn't show their age, Liu Erlong assumed they were a couple.)
There was also disappointment in Yu Xiaogang's behavior—she had chased him for several years, only to find that she still couldn't compare to a woman who had long ago abandoned him and left his life.
The moment the other woman arrived, without even saying a word, just one look from her was enough to make him completely forget her, with eyes only for the other woman!
Yu Xiaogang's actions left her feeling incredibly cold and disappointed!
ps: Why did the previous chapter disappear again???
"Long time no see! How have you been?" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yu Xiaogang spoke his first words.
As he spoke, his decadent gaze seemed to hold something more—apology, memories, excitement, but above all, a sense of desolation.
Hearing his greeting, Bibi Dong's expression instantly became extremely complex—nostalgia, pain, bitterness, and resentment all swirled together.
These emotions converged, eventually turning into a faint reply.
"Below one person, above ten thousand—what could be wrong with that? As the future successor of Martial Soul Hall, even the emperors of the two great empires must show me respect. Do you think there is anything wrong with me?"
Her soft, melodious voice easily made one feel as if they were bathed in a gentle breeze.
But Yu Xiaogang's expression turned strained; this was not only because he sensed the resentment hidden in Bibi Dong's flat words, but also because he noticed there was another man beside her.
And that man was currently holding her hand.
Staring fixedly at their joined hands, Yu Xiaogang asked with a bitter mouth, "Who is he?"
(Yu Xiaogang had never met Qian Xunji; after all, Qian Xunji was the dignified Pope of Martial Soul Hall—how could a "trash" from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan easily see him!)
He was terrified of hearing the answer he least wanted to hear.
