Chu Men, who was acting as Liu Erlong's mouthpiece, knew exactly what was going on!
Yu Yuanzhen, the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a Titled Douluo, was the clan's pillar. There was no way he would come in person.
The old geezer standing before them was a Soul Douluo at most!
So why be polite?
He should just let him have it. Better yet, maybe he'd die of rage right there on the spot, his blood vessels bursting... Wouldn't that be delightful?
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen bristle with rage, Yu Songtao immediately stepped forward and stood in front of him.
He looked Chu Men up and down, his eyes full of disdain.
He held his chin high, like a proud rooster.
"What kind of nobody are you, daring to speak to an elder like that? You're just a little Soul Ancestor, a pretty boy hiding behind a woman and living off her!"
"Oh?"
Chu Men raised an eyebrow. Not only was he not angry, he even broke into a shameless grin.
"As a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy, I stand firmly behind our dean. What's wrong with that?
"If you've got what it takes, find yourself a gorgeous, tough older sister like her! With a face like yours—struck by lightning and trampled by a horse-drawn cart—even the sows in Sunset Forest wouldn't look at you! You want to live off a woman, but you haven't even looked in a mirror..."
Chu Men was really getting into his tirade when he noticed that the dean seemed a little unhappy.
Liu Erlong fixed Yu Songtao with the oppressive gaze of a tyrannosaur, her voice laced with bone-chilling cold.
"Who are you saying is living off a woman?"
She wasn't about to let anyone ruin Chu Men's reputation, even though she knew exactly what he was like.
But he was her man!
Chu Men immediately understood. The shameless grin on his face froze, as if someone had hit pause.
He took a big step forward and planted himself squarely in front of Liu Erlong.
The teasing look vanished from his face, replaced by a murderous glare. He pointed at Yu Songtao's nose and cursed so fiercely that spittle flew.
"Who the hell are you saying is living off a woman? Get down on your knees and apologize!"
Yu Songtao stared at Chu Men, dumbfounded. For a long moment, he couldn't get a word out.
How could anyone... be so shameless?
He was even more shameless than Yu Songtao!
[Holy crap, the comments were right. Streamer, you're a real dog!]
[Great Emperor Chu Men: I can issue an imperial edict admitting my faults, but nobody else is allowed to insult me. That would be lèse-majesté!]
[One's defending her husband, the other's defending his wife. Why don't you two just get married right here and now? Get on with the ceremony!]
Once Yu Songtao came to his senses, his face flushed the color of liver. "You! You..."
Chu Men suddenly realized that the younger one was the easier target.
If he could piss him off to death, that would show off his skills even better than killing an old man, wouldn't it?
Chu Men smoothly redirected his fire.
"I'm shameless?"
Chu Men sneered. He imitated Yu Songtao, looking him up and down before fixing him with a look of pure contempt.
"I heard you call our dean your younger cousin. Did I hear that right? You've got one foot in the grave, and people would believe it if you said you were her grandfather!
"tsk, look at you. Old and ugly, weak-voiced, cloudy-eyed, and sickly all over.
"No question about it: you were born with weak kidneys. You're a useless piece of trash!"
Yu Songtao was about to argue. "You..."
Chu Men didn't give him the chance, continuing to taunt him.
"Our dean, Sister Erlong, is already a level seventy-nine Soul Saint. And what about you, you big-head garlic? You've spent half your life living off other people's hard work, and you're still only a Soul Ancestor like me, aren't you?"
Liu Erlong gave Chu Men a curious look. I'm level seventy-nine? Since when did I know that?
Yu Zhentian glanced at Liu Erlong warily, his heart sinking.
Yu Songtao had only heard the second half. His arrogance immediately turned to fury.
"I'm a bona fide Soul King, level fifty-nine! I'm about to break through and become a Soul Emperor!"
"Oh! So you're only a Soul King!"
Chu Men patted his chest, pretending to be shaken.
"You scared the hell out of me. With all that swagger, anyone would've thought you had a title.
"So after all that, you're only one little rank above me. You don't have to say it—I'm embarrassed for our dean."
Chu Men turned to Yu Zhentian.
"I say, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has really gone downhill. You dare bring someone like this out in public? Aren't you ashamed?
"No wonder Sister Erlong doesn't want to go back. Just look at the trash you've raised! None of you have much ability, but every one of you looks down your nose at everyone else, strutting around like you're the greatest under heaven. People like you have dragged the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's name through the mud."
The more Chu Men spoke, the louder he got. He felt like everything was flowing perfectly today.
"Back then, you despised Sister Erlong for being an illegitimate daughter and kicked her out of the clan.
"What, now you've seen that she developed Lightning Soul-Guided Devices and realized she could be useful, so you shamelessly show up to take them? Have you no shame?
"Go do your own research if you can! If you can't, then get lost! You're standing around here like you're some great big deal!
"You bunch of sycophantic hypocrites—bah! And you still have the nerve to call yourselves one of the Upper Three Sects? Get the hell out of here!"
Liu Erlong stared at the straight back before her, and her heart gave a sudden jolt.
She had kept some words bottled up for more than a decade. She had never said them, and never would!
But that didn't mean she truly didn't care!
Today, someone had said them for her...
The ice in her eyes melted bit by bit, turning into scorching tears that welled up in them.
She bit down hard on her lip, stopping the tears from falling.
"...When the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams follow suit! What sort of elders you have determines what sort of younger generation you raise! I'd say the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is doomed!"
He'd rattled it all off in one breath. Then he took a swig of ice-cold cola. What a rush!
[That's a real heart-stabber! This critical hit is so satisfying!]
[Streamer: Just call me the king of trash talk! The great prophet!]
[Sister Erlong was secretly smiling. I saw it! I took a screenshot and posted it in the comments!]
With every sentence Chu Men spoke, Yu Songtao's face grew paler, until at last his entire body was trembling!
Yu Tianzhen clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. Soul Power spilled uncontrollably from his body, stirring the trees and grass nearby with a rustling roar.
He wanted nothing more than to grind the foul-mouthed bastard to dust right then and there!
But someone moved before he could!
"I'll kill you!"
Yu Songtao couldn't hold back any longer. He let out a furious roar, and his Martial Soul instantly possessed him!
Blue dragon scales covered his body in the blink of an eye, crackling with wild arcs of electricity!
Dragon Transformation!
This was exactly what Yu Zhentian wanted.
He also wanted to see just how capable this foul-mouthed bastard really was!
Liu Erlong didn't step in either. She simply kept her eyes fixed on Yu Zhentian.
She had just as much confidence in Chu Men!
Seeing his plan succeed, Chu Men was overjoyed.
He was always fighting Liu Erlong at a disadvantage and getting thrashed. Finally, he'd found someone he could handle!
"Xiao Wu, step back a little. You don't want blood splattered all over you!"
"Uncle, be careful!"
Xiao Wu called out worriedly, then Liu Erlong pulled her behind herself.
"Powerful Inversion!"
"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Songtao roared. His electric claw, covered in thick dragon scales, shot straight toward Chu Men.
