So-Called Platonic Love

[Strongest: This brings us to Yu Xiaogang's dear disciple. He came up with a brilliant idea.]

Yang Xiu could not help laughing whenever he thought of platonic love.

He had no idea how that genius Tang San had come up with it.

[Not Little Witch: It probably wasn't possible for them to be together normally, so Tang San must have thought of some abnormal method.]

[World's Greatest Poison: Could it be that Tang San told Yu Xiaogang to castrate himself? Then they could be together openly. After all, neither of them would be able to do that anymore, right?]

[Xiao Wu: Probably not. Tang San is such a bitch—he practically treats Yu Xiaogang like his father. He wouldn't suggest something that cruel.]

Every time Xiao Wu saw the two of them acting like a loving father and filial son, she found it hilarious.

Yu Xiaogang had not even helped Tang San much, yet Tang San practically worshipped him like a father.

It was utterly speechless.

[Ah Yin: What kind of method could that beast Tang San possibly think of? Whatever he came up with would definitely be beastly!]

Ah Yin, who had been lurking quietly until then, immediately got triggered the moment she saw Tang San's name.

She surfaced at once and began bombarding Tang San with insults.

[Liu Erlong: Did I really end up with Xiaogang in the future?]

The hopeful look in Liu Erlong's eyes had already vanished.

After chatting with everyone for so long and hearing the group leader's revelations, no matter how much she tried to deceive herself,

she understood that Yu Xiaogang truly was a useless fool who knew nothing.

Once the rose-colored glasses shattered, so did her love-struck delusions.

What Liu Erlong felt now was more curiosity about the future—and what method Tang San had thought of that could bring their relationship, one forbidden by worldly conventions, back together.

[Strongest: Tang San's method was for them to have a platonic relationship.]

[Not Little Witch: What the heck is a platonic relationship?]

[A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: I think I already know.]

[World's Greatest Poison: Then hurry up and explain! It's so annoying when you keep pausing halfway through!]

[A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: It should mean they're together spiritually, but not physically.]

Ye Lingling found it somewhat amusing. Tang San's answer was complete nonsense.

Wasn't this just pure self-deception?

She simply refused to believe that a man and woman could lie in the same bed every day and truly keep themselves under control.

As a physician, Ye Lingling understood the instinctive desires within the human body very well.

"Unless Yu Xiaogang really castrated himself, they'll be screwing sooner or later."

Ye Lingling was certain of it.

[Motherless Since Childhood: 666, here comes the self-deception. But even without this platonic relationship, Yu Xiaogang is already over fifty. Can that thing still work?]

[Bibi Dong: Tang San did well on this one. Hurry up and lock those two together—don't let Yu Xiaogang out to harm anyone again!]

Bibi Dong could not help giving Tang San a thumbs-up.

As long as Yu Xiaogang could be tied back together with Liu Erlong,

that was a good thing.

Because Bibi Dong had already noticed from Liu Erlong's words that this woman seemed to have changed just a little.

How could that be allowed!

That farting pig had to stay tied to her forever!!!

[Shadow Cat: @Liu Erlong, honestly, can you accept this so-called platonic relationship? Just staring at each other wide-eyed in bed every day, without even bumping uglies.]

Zhu Zhuqing could not accept it, anyway.

Because she believed intimate contact was proof that a relationship was growing stronger.

Of course, what she would not admit was... that being trapped in the Zhu Clan left her under too much pressure every day, so she could only relieve herself.

And the person she had thought about last night had been the group leader's big brother...

So she had developed a slight longing for that sort of thing. Naturally, the other person had to be the group leader.

[Liu Erlong: Uh... I'm afraid I couldn't accept it. I believe my future self only agreed to it on the surface.]

Liu Erlong had been keeping herself a living widow for Yu Xiaogang for more than twenty years.

Even now, she was still a pure woman.

But she was already in her forties, an age when desires ran wild.

If she really had to have that so-called platonic relationship with Yu Xiaogang, she definitely would not agree.

[Not Little Witch: So this so-called platonic relationship was just a way for Tang San to give them both an out, allowing them to be together without caring that they were cousins.]

Ning Rongrong felt that Tang San truly was just as Ah Yin had said.

He was an evil person.

The two had already separated, yet he still came up with such an idea for them.

He had brought this couple, forbidden by worldly conventions, back together again.

[Strongest: That's right. Just as Liu Erlong said, their so-called platonic relationship was nothing more than self-deception.

Ten thousand years later, they both had descendants of their own.]

[Bibi Dong: What a joke of a platonic relationship. Didn't they end up bumping uglies anyway?]

Bibi Dong looked utterly disdainful. They made it sound so refined, but in the end, they still went through that filthy business.

[A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: Eww~ How disgusting! Weren't they afraid their child would be born stupid?]

[World's Greatest Poison: Why would their child be born stupid?]

Dugu Yan only knew that close relatives could not be together, but she did not know why.

"Could it be because children born from close relatives become stupid?"

Dugu Yan pondered with her not-so-clever brain.

[Strongest: Huh, Doctor, you even know about that?]

Yang Xiu was a little surprised. He had not expected Ye Lingling to be so knowledgeable.

This was not something one could learn merely by casually reading about it. In an ancient feudal society, ordinary people truly would not know.

[A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: Hehe, I've just read a few more books.]

[Not Little Witch: Wow, Doctor, then you'd better study hard. You can't rest, or if you mess up my treatment someday, I'll come after you. Hehe.]

[Shadow Cat: So what's the principle behind it? Why do children born from close relatives become stupid? I've heard others mention this too.]

[Strongest: It's a little troublesome to explain. Simply put, every person carries certain disease-causing factors in their body, and two relatives are very likely to carry the same ones.

When they have a child together, the chance of that child carrying those disease-causing factors increases greatly, making them more likely to become mentally impaired or intellectually disabled.]

Yang Xiu gave a rough explanation. That was the only way he could put it, since they did not understand things like genes.

[Strongest: But this only applies to ordinary people. Soul Masters, especially powerful Soul Masters, basically won't have this problem, because the process of becoming stronger automatically eliminates those disease-causing factors from their bodies.]

No matter how weak the Douluo World was, it was still a fantasy world.

There was no way it could not even accomplish something like beneficially changing one's own genes through becoming stronger.

The Dai Clan and the Zhu Clan were perfect examples.

The two families had intermarried for tens of thousands of years.

Weren't they still alive and kicking?
