What the Hell, Is This What I Wanted to Hear?

He reached out and pulled Rong'er into his arms, gently wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes. The sight nearly broke Yu Xiaogang's heart.

"Rong'er, don't cry. I... I had my reasons too."

"Mhm, I believe you, Brother Gang." Rong'er did not press him further, but her tears kept falling, her eyes as red as a rabbit's.

"Alright, alright. I'll send someone to pick you up later." Yu Xiaogang kept comforting Rong'er in his arms.

It was only after quite a while that Rong'er finally stopped crying.

"Brother Gang, can I know where you and the Holy Maiden are going?"

"This..."

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment. It was not that he did not want to say more, but the woman in his arms had never asked about it these past few days. Her sudden question naturally made him suspicious.

"Since Brother Gang doesn't want to tell me, Rong'er won't ask any more." Rong'er raised a hand to stroke Yu Xiaogang's cheek. "I only hope that when Brother Gang sends someone for me, I'll still be here waiting."

The disappointment in her eyes made Yu Xiaogang's heart ache. He gritted his teeth.

"We're going back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Rong'er froze for a moment, then a delighted smile appeared on her face. She stroked Yu Xiaogang's cheek, her eyes filled with admiration. "So Brother Gang is a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I never thought I would get to meet you, Brother Gang. It is the honor of my life. I must have used up all my luck just meeting you. Rong'er will never regret it."

Hearing the praise from the woman in his arms, especially the admiration in her eyes, made Yu Xiaogang feel exceptionally pleased.

Ever since he had awakened Luo Sanpao, he had endured countless cold stares and mockery within the clan. They had not even treated him like a person!

Over the years, his poor soul power had earned him nothing but contempt.

"My father is Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Ah!" Rong'er's eyes widened, and she covered her little mouth with both hands. "So Brother Gang's background is this incredible. Rong'er... Rong'er isn't worthy of Brother Gang. Brother Gang should just forget about Rong'er."

As she spoke, Rong'er tried to leave Yu Xiaogang's arms.

But Yu Xiaogang held her tightly. "What do you mean, worthy or unworthy? In my heart, you're the best."

"But what if the Holy Maiden finds out..."

"Then she finds out." Yu Xiaogang spoke dismissively. "What disciple of a sect doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Even if she knows, does she dare say no?"

When Bibi Dong heard that, her face had already turned cold.

The Yu Xiaogang before her was completely different from the refined and gentle man he had seemed to be before. Did he really think he had her completely under his thumb?

"But then the Holy Maiden will make things difficult for me." Rong'er put on a worried expression and pushed lightly at Yu Xiaogang. "For Brother Gang's sake, Rong'er should still leave. Even if I marry some ordinary man, the Holy Maiden won't make things difficult for Brother Gang later, even if she learns of this."

"How dare you!"

Yu Xiaogang hugged Rong'er even more tightly. "You're mine for a day, you're mine for life!"

"But... but..."

"No buts!"

"Thank you, Brother Gang." Rong'er leaned forward and lightly kissed his stubbled lips before burying her head in his arms.

Yu Xiaogang licked his lips, looking smug.

After quite a while, Rong'er poked her head out again. "Brother Gang, were you talking about the Holy Maiden earlier?"

"Mhm."

"The key is, will the Holy Maiden really go with Brother Gang?" Rong'er asked timidly. "Brother Gang is the son of a clan leader, so your status matches the Holy Maiden's. But... but she is the Holy Maiden. Will she truly be willing to leave with Brother Gang?"

"She will." Yu Xiaogang wore a smug expression. "After all, she was captivated by my handsome face."

Rong'er and Qian Chenzhou, both of them, felt utterly disgusted.

They truly did not know where Yu Xiaogang got the nerve.

"Yes! Brother Gang is the most handsome!"

The moment Yu Xiaogang's smug expression surfaced, Rong'er knew she had laid enough groundwork. She continued, "I'm curious, Brother Gang. How did you meet the Holy Maiden?"

"Hehe." Yu Xiaogang chuckled smugly.

"Brother Gang, tell Rong'er." Rong'er snuggled against him coquettishly, pressing her chest against him and softly blowing into his ear.

"Then I'll tell you!"

Rong'er's eyes lit up, and a faint smile curled her lips. She knew the rest of the task would be simple.

"I've been in Spirit City for several years. I've already observed Bibi Dong's schedule well enough." Yu Xiaogang looked incomparably self-satisfied, and his hands became restless as he squeezed hard. "I learned what Bibi Dong liked, and I happened to enjoy reading too. Over time, we got to know each other."

What the hell, is this what I wanted to hear? Rong'er cursed inwardly.

Yet her face remained flattering. "I knew Brother Gang was so knowledgeable for a reason. So that's how it was."

"After the Holy Maiden returns, she will definitely become the clan leader's wife. Rong'er envies her so much. Unfortunately, Rong'er isn't a soul master and can't cultivate, so I can't stay by Brother Gang's side for a lifetime."

"But the Holy Maiden is different. I've heard her talent is exceptional. She'll definitely become Brother Gang's right-hand woman in the future. Becoming a Titled Douluo is practically guaranteed."

"Rong'er will congratulate Brother Gang in advance, then."

"Of course!" Yu Xiaogang's lips nearly curled up to the sky. "Do you have any idea how much effort I've put into Bibi Dong? Once I return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, even my father will have to show me some respect. After all, I'll be bringing back a genius!"

By this point, Bibi Dong's eyes had reddened. Her fists were clenched tightly. She did not speak or roar, but the violent rise and fall of her chest could not be concealed.

After all, she had truly believed that Yu Xiaogang was working hard because of the limitations of her martial soul.

She had never imagined that he had been plotting to use her all along. Worse still, she had foolishly believed that everything he said was real!

She had even wanted to abandon her teacher and Spirit Hall to elope with such a heartless bastard!

When Qian Chenzhou looked at Bibi Dong, a smile rested on his lips.

What could make a man casually reveal the truth? A situation exactly like this!

For a man like Yu Xiaogang, who had lived in the shadows in his previous life, nothing could inflate his ego more than a woman's praise.

"Brother Gang is really amazing." Rong'er smiled. This time, it was a genuine smile, without a trace of falseness. She gently leaned closer and said, "Brother Gang, Rong'er can't be with you for a lifetime, but Rong'er wants to cherish every moment we have left."

"Brother Gang, love me."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly reddened. He directly picked Rong'er up and carried her toward the bed.
