Yu Xiaogang's Collapse! Erlong, What Did You Do?!

Tang Yu was holding a verdant jade pendant in his hand, examining it closely.

The corner of his eye swept over the jade pendant.

Even from a distance, Liu Erlong could clearly sense it.

That was definitely no ordinary mortal object; the aura radiating from it was extraordinary.

Hearing footsteps, Tang Yu raised his head, his gaze calm as he looked over.

Coming into contact with that aggressive gaze.

Liu Erlong's heart suddenly panicked, and even her speech became somewhat stuttered.

"I..."

"I am the headmaster of Blue Tyrant Academy, and there are still many matters in the academy waiting to be handled, so I must return."

After saying this, she tightened her fists nervously.

She had assumed that with this man's overbearing personality, he would certainly speak up to stop her and forcibly keep her here.

However, unexpectedly, Tang Yu did not react in the slightest.

He merely toyed with the jade pendant in his hand casually, seemingly not caring at all about whether she stayed or left.

Seeing this, Liu Erlong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a sense of loss she hadn't even noticed herself began to grow.

She quickened her pace, wanting only to escape this place that had thrown her emotions into such chaos as quickly as possible.

Just as she was about to step out of the courtyard and walk away.

From behind her, Tang Yu's voice suddenly came, carrying a hint of mockery as he reminded her.

"You can go back."

"But you had better remember this clearly."

"From now on, whenever I call for you, you must come at once."

"You are my woman, after all, and you will have to bear my children in the future."

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely against Liu Erlong's heart.

She stood frozen in shock, the flush on her face spreading instantly to the tips of her ears.

Bear children?

This arrogant bastard, to think he could actually say such a thing!

A massive sense of shame made it impossible for her to stay a moment longer.

Liu Erlong stomped her foot, fled in a panic, and escaped from Wuyang Mansion as if flying.

Walking on the bustling streets of Heaven Dou City.

Her heart was still pounding like a drum, accelerating incessantly.

Her mind kept replaying Tang Yu's final, overbearing declaration.

No.

She would never accept such an arrangement.

She was, after all, a powerhouse at the Soul Saint level.

But.

If he really came looking for her, what could she possibly use to resist?

Carrying a heart full of confusion and contradiction.

Liu Erlong hurried back to Blue Tyrant Academy.

Just as she walked through the academy gates, before she had time to return to her residence to calm her mood.

On a tree-lined path, she ran head-on into an anxious-looking Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing Liu Erlong return safely, Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward to meet her.

"Erlong!"

"You've finally returned, what exactly happened?"

"Did that Prince Wuyang give you any trouble? Is Zhu Zhuqing coming back?"

Seeing this familiar face once again.

Liu Erlong's heart no longer held the excitement and adoration of the past.

Replacing it was a bone-deep indifference.

She stopped in her tracks, looking coldly at the middle-aged man before her.

Her tone was devoid of any emotional color.

"Give me trouble?"

"Weren't you standing right outside the door yesterday?"

"Why did you abandon me and run away alone?"

Hearing this interrogation, Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately darted away.

He didn't dare to look Liu Erlong in the eyes, stammering as he tried to make excuses.

"Erlong, you've misunderstood."

"I wasn't trying to run away at the time; I just sensed a powerful killing intent coming from inside."

"I wouldn't have been able to help by staying there, so I planned to retreat temporarily and head into the city to find reinforcements to save you."

Watching his hypocritical and affected demeanor, Liu Erlong felt her stomach churn with nausea, utterly disappointed.

This was the man she had loved and waited for all these years.

He dared not take responsibility for his actions, always finding excuses for his own cowardice.

She laughed in her extreme rage, a cold, mocking sneer tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"Find reinforcements?"

"Fine, you don't need to look anymore."

"I have already followed his demands and given myself to him."

"I slept with that Tang Yu."

This light, airy sentence fell into Yu Xiaogang's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue.

He widened his eyes, staring at Liu Erlong in complete shock.

The muscles in his face twitched slightly from extreme astonishment.

"What!"

"You..."

After the shock came an uncontrollable surge of anger.

Although he had never dared to accept Liu Erlong's feelings, subconsciously, he had long regarded this woman as his own private property.

Now, learning that he had been cuckolded so thoroughly, his male pride felt deeply insulted.

He pointed at Liu Erlong's nose, roaring in a fit of exasperated rage.

"How dare you agree to such a shameless demand!"

"How could you do something so disgraceful!"

Facing his impotent fury, Liu Erlong found it all laughable.

She took a step forward, not backing down in the slightest as she retorted.

"I'm disgraceful?"

"Yu Xiaogang, what right do you have to accuse me?"

"Didn't you abandon me at our wedding all those years ago?"

"Who I choose to be with is none of your business!"

This series of questions was like sharp blades, piercing straight into Yu Xiaogang's sore spots.

He was rendered speechless, his face turning shades of green and white, shifting unpredictably.

The anger he had intended to vent was forcibly stuck in his throat.

Looking at the woman before him who had become somewhat of a stranger, a sudden panic rose in his heart.

No.

This isn't right!

Things shouldn't be like this!

If he lost Liu Erlong's protection, he wouldn't be able to take a single step in Heaven Dou City.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang suppressed his feelings of disgust.

He attempted to use his old, cold demeanor to salvage the situation.

"Liu Erlong, you are simply being unreasonable."

"Go away, I don't want to see a filthy woman like you ever again."

He had expected this game of hard-to-get to make her cry and beg for his forgiveness just like in the past.

However.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong showed no signs of sadness.

Instead, she nodded quite decisively and turned to leave.

Seeing that this tactic was ineffective.

Yu Xiaogang panicked, hurriedly reaching out to grab her arm.

"Erlong, don't be like this."

"We still have room to maneuver..."

However, Liu Erlong shook his hand off immediately.

Her expression was full of resolve, without a hint of hesitation.

She couldn't even be bothered to spare the man another glance, leaving behind only a cold remark.

"Don't touch me."

"I don't want to waste another word on a coward."

With that, she turned and strode away.

Only Yu Xiaogang remained standing where he was, his face a mask of shock and resentment.

Walking back to her residence.

Liu Erlong felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

The heavy stone that had weighed on her heart for years had finally been shattered.

She felt that her past self had truly been worthless.

To have wasted so much of her youth on a coward who couldn't even protect himself.

Was such a weak, pathetic man really worthy of someone with her exceptional qualities?

The answer was clearly no.
