Heaven Dou City, the slums.
Flender was utterly drunk. As a Soul Saint, he should have been able to suppress the effects of alcohol with a casual use of Soul Power whenever he wished.
But Liu Erlong's death and Gangzi's actions had left him in despair, so he had no desire to sober up. He just wanted to drink his fill. He felt as though this was all merely a nightmare...
Once he woke from this nightmare, Erlong would still be by his side. He would still help her pursue Xiaogang, and he would get to watch her live a lifetime of happiness...
But all of that was nothing more than a fantasy.
Flender collapsed on a street in Heaven Dou City's slums and gradually drifted off to sleep.
In his dream, Flender saw Liu Erlong.
"Erlong..." The moment he saw Liu Erlong, Flender rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Thank goodness you're all right."
"Boss Fu." Liu Erlong hugged him back.
The two remained locked in their embrace, but the atmosphere gradually began to feel strange.
"Erlong, what are you doing? We can't betray Xiaogang!" Flender stared in utter shock at Liu Erlong, who was trying to practice their Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him.
Liu Erlong's gaze was unwavering. "Boss Fu, why should we care about that useless old priest Gangzi? He wanted to kill me! Am I supposed to stay with him after that? Besides, I finally understand my own heart..."
Tears welled up in Liu Erlong's eyes. "Boss Fu, you're the one I truly love."
"Erlong!" Flender's eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.
He hesitated. Should he practice the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Liu Erlong or not?
In the end, his servility as a lovesick doormat overpowered the feelings he had suppressed
