Flender's Bold Declaration of Love!

Flender's Bold Declaration of Love!

"You may leave. We'll go in ourselves from here."

Looking at the quiet, deserted Back Garden and Dugu's little wooden cabin, Flender spoke to the guard.

"Yes."

The guard withdrew.

Flender wiped at his sweat, his palms damp as well.

"Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the less likely you'll succeed."

"I think I'd better leave the opportunity to you and take a stroll around the academy myself."

Li Fei spoke as he prepared to slip away.

After all, a strategist was only responsible for offering plans from behind the scenes. When it came time to take the field himself, he would get nervous too and had little confidence.

"No. You came up with the plan, so you have to stay with me."

Flender was already nervous. With Li Fei here, he could calm down a little. After all, this kid had plenty of clever tricks. If even this stabilizing pillar left, he truly would not be able to let loose alone. He had already missed so many years; he did not want to miss this chance as well.

After a long separation, their reunion was the best thing to use to his advantage.

Li Fei looked helpless as he transmitted his voice. "Forget the previous plan. Once you see her, boldly confess your love. Tell her everything you feel. Let her know just how deeply you love her, and she'll definitely waver. Even if she mentions Yu Xiaogang, it'll only be temporary. Keep pressing the attack. Use Yu Xiaogang's situation to make your point and let her understand the difference between him and you."

After reaching Soul Elder rank, one could compress Soul Power to transmit one's voice.

Flender took a deep breath and let it out, his gaze turning resolute. "I understand. You can leave! From here on, this is my battlefield alone!"

Flender had finally gathered his courage.

This time, he was determined to win Liu Erlong over!

He absolutely could not hand her over to that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang!

I gave you the chance, yet you didn't cherish it. You even abandoned her, leaving Sister Erlong to bear it all alone. That was simply not something a man should do!

In truth, he had always held grievances against Yu Xiaogang.

It was only because of that relationship between them that he had not been able to say much, afraid of tearing their friendship apart.

However, after talking with Li Fei, he finally understood that Yu Xiaogang truly was not worth pitying!

As long as he could win Erlong, so what if they tore their friendship apart!

"I'm glad you've come to your senses. Take this Pill. Crush it when the critical moment comes, and it'll have an unexpected effect. It'll definitely give you a hand."

Li Fei took a Blue Pill from his Soul Tool Ring and placed it in Flender's hand, speaking mysteriously.

"A Blue Pill? What kind of Pill is this? Why do you have something like this?" Flender accepted it and looked at Li Fei suspiciously.

He had the strange feeling that this fellow was up to no good.

"You'll find out soon enough. If you want to win Aunt Liu over, stop asking questions and just do as I say. All right, I'm off for a stroll."

After saying that, Li Fei turned around and ran off.

"To hell with it."

Flender put the Blue Pill into his Soul Tool and walked into the garden, heading straight for the wooden cabin.

Inside the cabin, Liu Erlong was putting on makeup. She was nervous too. Looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, she revealed a satisfied expression.

When Xiaogang sees how beautiful I look, he definitely won't be able to restrain himself.

If Flender had known that her thoughts were entirely focused on Yu Xiaogang rather than himself, he certainly would have looked devastated.

Knock, knock.

At that moment, someone knocked on the cabin door.

"He's here." Liu Erlong's heartbeat sped up as she rose to open the door.

The moment she opened it—

She froze.

Who was this man before her?

But he was so handsome and gentlemanly.

Flender had now completely transformed. He was no longer the scruffy man he had once been, but a handsome, mature gentleman whose appearance was especially appealing to women and married ladies.

Along the journey, countless women and married ladies had flirted with him.

Yet Liu Erlong was the only one in his heart. Otherwise, Li Fei would already have had a sister-in-law by now.

"Erlong." Seeing the woman of his dreams again after so many years, and seeing that she was still so beautiful, left him staring in a daze.

"Are you... Brother Flender?"

Liu Erlong examined him carefully. The man before her looked familiar, and she finally recognized him from his voice as Flender!

"That's right, it's me, Flender." Flender smiled and nodded.

I never expected Brother Flender to be so handsome! Liu Erlong's face reddened slightly.

Why had she never noticed before?

Images from the past surfaced in her mind. Flender had always appeared before her in a scruffy, unkempt state.

Compared to before, he looked like an entirely different person now!

If Flender had been this handsome back then, perhaps she would not have chosen Yu Xiaogang.

The reason she had not accepted Flender in the past had actually had a great deal to do with his appearance.

"It really is you, Big Brother Flender! After all these years, you've become more handsome!" It was as though they had returned to the past. Their words became more intimate, and she no longer had the aloof demeanor she showed outsiders.

"Thank you." Hearing that, Flender secretly rejoiced. There's hope!

"Oh, right. I heard from the guard that two of you came. Where is Xiaogang? Is he too afraid to see me, so he's hiding?" Liu Erlong looked around, but she did not see the figure she had been longing for. Disappointment appeared on her face.

Seeing Liu Erlong like this made Flender feel somewhat dejected. Sure enough, Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, still mattered more in her heart!

But he would not lose this time!

His gaze sharpened as Li Fei's words echoed in his mind.

"If you don't have the courage, no one can help you. Unless you're willing to admit that you're inferior to Yu Xiaogang and hand the person you love over to him again. If that happens, even I'll look down on you."

Li Fei had spoken those philosophical words one night while they were grilling skewers in the wilderness on the journey from Suotuo City to Heaven Dou City.

Taking a deep breath, Flender said, "Yu Xiaogang? He didn't come. This time, I came with one of my academy students. The guard probably didn't explain things clearly, so there was a misunderstanding."

The next second, his courage surged. He directly pushed Liu Erlong back into the cabin, then shut the door.

"Sister Erlong, after he left last time, I found him. I was willing to accompany him to find you, but he refused. Since then, I have never contacted Yu Xiaogang again. He vanished too, and there has been no news of him to this day."

"Sister Erlong, I've thought about this for so many years. I don't want to endure it any longer. I came here today to tell you how I feel!"

"Sister Erlong, I've always liked you. I've always loved you. That good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang ran away the moment he encountered trouble, leaving you alone to bear the pressure brought by your family. But I'm different. I'm willing to face any hardship with you, now and in the future, until the day we die!"

"Once, I had love before me, but I did not know how to cherish it, and I just ran away. I regret it deeply! For all these years, every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was that woman's figure. Love has no expiration date. If it truly does, then that date is hundreds of millions of years!"

"Sister Erlong! I love you!! For all eternity! Marry me!"

Flender went all out. In one loud breath, he blurted out the words he had prepared in his heart for so long. Then, he took a bouquet of flowers from his Soul Tool. On top of the flowers was a small box, and inside the box was an exquisite proposal ring.

Li Fei had prepared all of this for him, including the words Li Fei had taught him. Flender had only revised them in his mind over and over before forming the speech he had just delivered.

After saying it all, he could only leave everything to fate!

He dropped to one knee before Liu Erlong. It was a perfectly standard marriage proposal!

Life and death were determined by fate, wealth and honor by Heaven! He had gone all out! Success or failure would depend on this one attempt!

He hoped he could move Liu Erlong's heart!

If he was disappointed this time, he would leave without hesitation and never return again!

Because Li Fei had also told him, "A simp who simps to the end gets nothing!"

He would gamble only this once!
