Gangzi: I'm Working Out

Flender pulled Yu Xiaogang aside and whispered, "Little Vat, this friend of yours doesn't look like a good person."

What nonsense. Did Yu Xiaogang not know what kind of person Scar was? But Scar had him firmly by the handle, leaving Yu Xiaogang helpless. With an awkward smile, he explained, "Don't judge Scarface by how he looks. He's actually a good person."

Scarface also smiled with an honest-looking grin. "That's right, I'm a good person." Combined with that scarred face, the smile was as terrifying as could be.

Since Gangzi had vouched for him so strongly, Flender and Liu Erlong could only agree.

Thus, Scarface also became an important guest at the wedding.

Inside a country chapel, Flender stood in the center of the hall, dressed in formal attire.

On one side stood the woman he loved, Liu Erlong, wearing a white bridal gown. On the other stood his good brother Yu Xiaogang, dressed in the groom's suit.

The three of them each harbored different thoughts.

Liu Erlong gazed at Yu Xiaogang with besotted love, while Flender forced a smile and suppressed the pain in his heart.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's mind was no longer on the wedding.

To Gangzi, the wedding was merely a formality. His goal was to use this marriage to bind Flender and Liu Erlong, making them, just as in his previous life, one preserve her chastity for him for over twenty years while the other pined for Liu Erlong and never married for the rest of his life—obediently serving as materials for his Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

To ensure that things would unfold as planned, he had secretly leaked word that he intended to marry Liu Erlong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in this life.

Everything proceeded according to Yu Xiaogang's plans, just as it had in his previous life. Yet in this life, an unexpected variable had appeared, making Yu Xiaogang feel as though he were sitting on pins and needles.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Scarface in the guest seats below. At that moment, Scarface was looking at Yu Xiaogang with a meaningful expression. That gaze left Yu Xiaogang drenched in sweat.

Damn it, what does this Scar want? What exactly is he trying to do...

Meanwhile, Scarface sat below, greedily eyeing Yu Xiaogang. Smacking his lips, he said, "Not bad. Today's Gangzi's big wedding day." His mind automatically filled with inappropriate scenes involving a wedding night, breaking into the room, and things done in front of the wife that children should not see.

The auspicious hour had arrived.

Flender suppressed the pain in his heart and asked Yu Xiaogang:

"Groom Yu Xiaogang, are you willing to take the beautiful woman beside you, Liu Erlong, as your lawful wife? From this day forward, in poverty or wealth, health or sickness, good times or bad, are you willing to love her, protect her, respect her, accompany her, and never leave nor forsake her for the rest of your lives?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "I do."

Immediately afterward, Flender asked Liu Erlong, "Bride Liu Erlong, are you willing to marry the learned man beside you, Yu Xiaogang, as your lawful husband? From this day forward, in poverty or wealth, health or sickness, good times or bad, are you willing to love him, trust him, support him, accompany him, and never leave nor forsake him for the rest of your lives?"

"I..." Before Liu Erlong could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her.

"I object."

Everyone in the chapel turned toward the entrance.

Yu Luomian walked in with several people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and entered the hall.

Upon seeing him, Liu Erlong's expression immediately became unnatural. She said resentfully, "What are you doing here?"

"Heh, what am I doing here? If I'd arrived a step later, would I have had to watch my daughter marry her cousin and commit such a disgraceful deed that would make the whole world laugh at us?" Yu Luomian rebuked.

At this moment, the Buzz Cut beside them became fully invested in his acting.

First, he froze slightly. Then, an incredulous expression spread across his face. He pointed at Liu Erlong, then at Yu Luomian. "Erlong, you... you're Second Uncle's daughter?"

"Little Vat, I..." Liu Erlong stammered, but Yu Xiaogang cut her off harshly.

"Enough—I should have guessed long ago. Your Martial Soul is the Fire Dragon..." Yu Xiaogang said in grief and indignation. "You knew I was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and you knew your own identity. You and Second Uncle had actually conspired together long ago, hadn't you? Hahahaha..."

"Little Vat, it's not like that."

Yu Xiaogang laughed as he cried. His acting was so good that even Oscar would have to give him a little golden man.

Taking the opportunity, he slipped out through the chapel's side door in a crazed manner.

Liu Erlong wanted to chase after him, but Yu Luomian grabbed her in one motion. "Do you still think you haven't disgraced yourself enough?"

"Let go of me! Let go of me!" Liu Erlong struggled with all her strength, but she could not break free.

Inside the chapel, everyone's attention was focused on the incident. No one noticed that a guest had suddenly vanished from the scene.

Yu Xiaogang continued to maintain his grief-stricken act as he ran.

In truth, he was already laughing with delight inside.

Second Uncle had come at just the right time. This way, he would not have to truly marry Liu Erlong, while also delaying her. Since they had not married, Flender would not give up either, which would conveniently delay Flender as well.

That way, these two would obediently become materials for my Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Fusion for the rest of their lives.

Of course, he could also conveniently throw off the burden that was Scarface. He still had to hurry to the next set and continue acting.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was getting carried away with himself, he suddenly crashed into a burly man.

Before he could even see who it was, Gangzi's maggot-like body could not help but tremble.

He stiffly turned his head and once again saw the nightmare of his life—Scarface.

Under the moonlight, a cruel smile appeared on Scarface's face. "Gangzi, it's so late. On your wedding night, where are you going!"

"Scar, Scarface..."

"Today, Scarface got to watch quite a show. A cousin marrying his cousin. Your cousin Liu Erlong should have known who you were, but I'm guessing you already knew she had a close relationship with you too, right? You were, after all, a great theorist who had steeped himself in Spirit Hall for many years. How could you possibly fail to notice the clues in the Fire Dragon Martial Soul?" Scarface pinched Yu Xiaogang's face and mercilessly exposed his disguise. "In other words, you and she were getting married while both able to guess each other's identities. Yet after it was exposed, you pushed everything onto your cousin and fiancée. You're such trash..."

"You... what do you want?" Yu Xiaogang asked fearfully.

"What do I want? Naturally, I want to complete tonight's unfinished business on behalf of your beloved wife." Scarface said with a wicked grin. "Originally, Scarface planned to play some different little games with you during the latter half of your wedding night. But you actually ran from the marriage. I'm very angry right now. Get on your knees and open your strait."

Yu Xiaogang dearly wanted to refuse, but Scarface had him by the handle. He could only comply.
