Scar Pays a Visit

After Flender fought bitterly, huffing and puffing all the while, he finally managed to take down the Flame-Headed Lizard. Bruised all over, Flender was about to remind Liu Erlong of something when he saw a scene that broke his heart.

Yu Xiaogang stood there with his hands behind his back, his maggot-like body somehow radiating the melancholy aura of a scholar. He kept babbling on about the Flame-Headed Lizard's specific details, while Liu Erlong gazed at Yu Xiaogang with blazing eyes, as though Flender did not exist at all.

Flender's gaze immediately dimmed.

Yu Xiaogang also noticed that the Flame-Headed Lizard had been subdued. He cleared his throat and said, "Erlong, I specially selected this Flame-Headed Lizard as the most suitable fifth Soul Ring for you. Hurry and kill it, then absorb it."

"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Xiao Gang," Liu Erlong said gratefully.

She bypassed Flender, walked up to the Flame-Headed Lizard, and ended its life with a single punch before drawing over its Soul Ring to absorb it.

Several hours later, Liu Erlong finished absorbing the Soul Ring, and the three of them headed back.

"I plan to confess to Liu Erlong tomorrow." After struggling with himself for a long time, Flender said this to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Flender, you should have seen Erlong's attitude. I'm afraid tomorrow will only disappoint you." Deep satisfaction was hidden in his words.

"Even so, I won't be willing to give up until the very last moment," Flender said.

"How about this? Tomorrow, we'll confess to Liu Erlong together. Whoever Erlong accepts, the other person withdraws. What do you think?" Yu Xiaogang suggested.

"Fine." Flender nodded deeply.

The two agreed on a time to confess the next day, then each returned to their dormitory.

On his way back, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth would not stop curling upward, his delight written all over his face.

Yu Xiaogang, who had long endured scornful looks and ridicule, rarely had the chance to find even a trace of superiority over Flender, a commoner genius from the bottom rung, to soothe his wounded heart.

Especially when it came to love, Yu Xiaogang felt an immense sense of superiority.

Flender, Flender. In your previous life, you were a loser who died alone. In this life, you are destined to remain one.

The person Liu Erlong loved most was me, Yu Xiaogang.

Even if, in this life, I would only accept Dong'er, who could bring me into the God Realm, I still would not give Erlong to you.

I, Yu Xiaogang, could choose not to have Liu Erlong, but I would never accept Liu Erlong going to another man, even if that man was you.

So in this life, you could only continue suffering, Flender.

In high spirits, Yu Xiaogang opened his door and walked in. Before he even turned on the light, he sensed that something was wrong.

The air was thick with the scent of male hormones. The scent was somewhat familiar—so familiar that Yu Xiaogang's delicate maggot-like body could not stop trembling.

With a click, the light came on.

Yu Xiaogang saw the nightmare of his life.

A burly man sat boldly on Yu Xiaogang's bed, bare from the waist up and covered in muscles. A striking scar split his face in two, and he looked at Yu Xiaogang with wolfish eyes.

"Scar..." Yu Xiaogang said in a trembling voice, his legs shaking.

Scar sneered. "After all this time, I'm impressed you still remember me."

As he spoke, Scar rose and walked toward Yu Xiaogang. Every step he took pressed down on Yu Xiaogang's fragile heart.

"Y-you, what do you want?"

"I missed you, my Ginseng Fruit. Can't I come play with you?" Scar came before Yu Xiaogang, hooked a finger under his nose, and said, "I heard you've been doing quite well lately. You even formed the Golden Iron Triangle with two Soul Masters."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly came to his senses.

That's right. Why am I afraid? Flender and Liu Erlong are nearby. The three of us can use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill and stand against a Soul Sage head-on.

Yu Xiaogang forced himself to remain calm and said, "Since you know that, why do you still dare come looking for me? Flender and Liu Erlong are nearby. All I need to do is call them over, and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill formed by the three of us will be more than enough to deal with you."

"You're threatening me?" Scar's eyes flashed with ferocity. He slapped Yu Xiaogang viciously across the face, sending him straight to the floor and swelling his cheek. "Since when did a level twenty-nine piece of trash like you get to threaten me? Do you deserve it?"

"I, Scar, am only a Soul King now. Even without using that Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul Fusion Skill of yours, your two friends would indeed cause me trouble. But do you dare call them over? Do you dare?"

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, wanting to call for help, but then he saw that Scar was holding a Soul Guidance image disc. The words he wanted to say immediately caught in his throat.

"Gangzi, you wouldn't want this forbidden image of the Grandmaster to spread throughout Douluo Continent, would you?"

Yu Xiaogang's glass-like heart instantly shattered and sank into an endless abyss.

"Right, you don't dare. Get down on all fours and obediently open your Strait of Hormuz!" Scar ordered viciously.

With Scar firmly gripping his weakness, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to obediently do as he was told.

Tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Why? Why did Scar exist in my world? He clearly had not existed in my previous life! Yu Xiaogang roared in despair.

The next morning, Flender anxiously watched the time as he waited for Liu Erlong.

At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled. Where was Xiao Gang? Hadn't they agreed to confess to Erlong together at this time? Why was he late?

Forget it. No matter. I should confess to Erlong first.

Although, under the influence of the Golden Iron Triangle's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Flender was like a pathetic cuckold. He could only watch helplessly as the woman he loved was constantly drawn to Yu Xiaogang, without daring to resist or suppress that level twenty-nine piece of trash. Still, that did not prevent Flender from having selfish desires of his own.

If Xiao Gang is late and I confess to Erlong first, doesn't that mean I have a better chance?

Liu Erlong arrived.

"Boss Flender, what did you want to see me for?" Liu Erlong asked.

Flender gathered his courage, pulled out a bouquet of flowers, and confessed, "Erlong, from the very first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. Please be my girlfriend."

Seeing Flender's flowers, Liu Erlong felt conflicted.

Indeed, Liu Erlong had once felt a slight stir of affection for Flender. But from the moment she met Yu Xiaogang, that faint feeling vanished completely. A melancholy Buzz Cut had moved into her heart, leaving no room for any other man.

"I'm sorry... Boss Flender, I can't accept your confession, because there is already someone I like in my heart."

Flender's eyes immediately darkened, and the flowers in his hand drooped as well.

"Is it Xiao Gang?" Flender asked.

Liu Erlong nodded.
