Poor Gangzi.
He had just been brutally beaten in a castle in Heaven Dou Imperial City by Yu Yuanzhen using the Discipline Son Six-Piece Set.
He had been beaten black and blue, with barely an inch of uninjured flesh left on his body.
Now, he had returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After the foolish, family-ruining—no, clan-ruining—thing he had done was exposed.
He was immediately surrounded and beaten by a group of elders burning with rage.
They beat him until his screams and wails never stopped, until he finally fainted.
A veritable Yu Xiao Gang and Wu Can!
Nighttime, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen's Residence, inside a room.
Slowly waking from unconsciousness.
Gangzi blankly discovered that Bibi Dong was sitting beside his bed, tightly holding his hand as she lay asleep on the bedside.
Clearly, Bibi Dong had stayed by his side the whole time, only falling into a deep sleep once she could no longer fight off her exhaustion.
This moved Yu Xiao Gang immensely.
What had he, Yu Xiao Gang, done to deserve the dignified Saintess of Spirit Hall caring for and loving him so much?
Yu Xiao Gang's awakening also startled Bibi Dong awake.
"Xiao Gang, you're awake?"
"How are you feeling now? Are you all right?"
Seeing Yu Xiao Gang awake, Bibi Dong tightened her grip on his hand. Her eyes reddened as she fired off three concerned questions in a row.
Though Yu Xiao Gang had already sold her out.
Before seeing undeniable proof with her own eyes, Bibi Dong was still coming up with all sorts of excuses for Yu Xiao Gang in her heart.
She truly would not give up until she hit the wall!
But that was actually normal.
After all, for the Xiao Gang she loved, she had already lost everything.
If she discovered that the Xiao Gang she loved had actually sold her out.
Wouldn't everything she had done become a joke?
Therefore, unless the truth was truly laid out before her.
Even if she had her suspicions, Bibi Dong would only keep deceiving herself.
This mentality was very similar to that of certain bootlickers from Qian Xunji's previous life.
At Yu Xiao Gang's bedside.
After fussing over Yu Xiao Gang for a while, Bibi Dong finally could not hold herself back any longer and asked.
What exactly had happened today.
Why had he and Uncle Yu Yuanzhen deceived her, luring her there to send her back to Spirit Hall?
In response, Yu Xiao Gang naturally hemmed and hawed.
He certainly could not say that he had planned to sell Bibi Dong out.
He could only shift all the blame onto his father, Yu Yuanzhen.
He said that after his father Yu Yuanzhen learned of Bibi Dong's identity as the Saintess of Spirit Hall, he claimed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not afford to offend Spirit Hall.
So he had forcibly made Yu Xiao Gang deceive her and take her to Spirit Hall to apologize to Qian Xunji.
Originally, he had rather died than submit, unwilling to lose Bibi Dong.
But unfortunately, his father Yu Yuanzhen was not afraid at all and had even said that it would be better if he died.
Even if he died, Yu Yuanzhen would still take Bibi Dong to Spirit Hall to apologize.
In the end, he had no choice but to cooperate.
After all, if he was there, he could still protect Bibi Dong somewhat.
If he died, he feared that Bibi Dong would suffer even more!
As he spoke, Yu Xiao Gang's fabrication became increasingly smooth, and his acting grew ever more convincing. He wore an expression of unbearable pain.
His eyes brimmed with affection as he gazed at Bibi Dong, tears streaming down his face.
"Xiao Gang."
Listening to him, Bibi Dong believed it all. Deeply moved, tears fell before she could even speak.
The two embraced tightly.
Bibi Dong was far too easy to fool.
I casually made something up, and she bought it completely.
Yu Xiao Gang felt immensely relieved inside.
Because the apology to Spirit Hall had failed.
And Pope Qian Xunji had refused to take Bibi Dong back, instead extorting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on a massive scale.
He had even extorted their clan's treasured True Dragon Nine Crowns!
Now that the apology had failed.
And Bibi Dong had been left behind.
In Yu Xiao Gang's view, they naturally ought to continue the previous plan and have Bibi Dong help him wash away his reputation as trash.
Then she could peacefully bear talented children for him, Yu Xiao Gang.
For that, Bibi Dong's cooperation was certainly still necessary.
Therefore, it was naturally best if he could keep fooling Bibi Dong.
And the next day.
After Bibi Dong was called away by Yu Xiao Gang's mother.
Yu Yuanzhen summoned Yu Xiao Gang alone to the study.
The moment he entered the study.
Yu Xiao Gang dropped to his knees before Yu Yuanzhen, crying and admitting his mistake through a face full of tears.
"Father, I'm sorry. I was wrong!"
"I thought things through too simply and brought disaster upon the family!"
"It's good that you know that!"
Yu Yuanzhen's face was cold as he spoke in a tone of bitter disappointment.
"Don't try to be clever again in the future, understand?"
"Also, what did you do with Bibi Dong? Why does it seem like she isn't angry at us?"
As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Yu Xiao Gang smiled smugly.
"Father, this Bibi Dong is incredibly easy to fool."
Yu Xiao Gang directly gave Yu Yuanzhen a rough account of what he had said to Bibi Dong the previous night.
". Although I placed all the blame on you, Father."
"After what I told her, that Bibi Dong loves me even more."
"And if she wants to continue being with me, then no matter what, you are still my father. No matter how wrong you were, she can only forgive you."
"Besides, in my version of things, you actually like her very much too."
"You only had to do that for the sake of the family, forced by Spirit Hall's overwhelming power."
"So she can only accept it!"
"You did well!"
Yu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment, his expression easing as he nodded.
This son of his might be a little stupid.
But when it came to deceiving women, he was truly extraordinarily gifted and capable!
"Since that is the case, choose a day and prepare to marry this woman."
After thinking it over, Yu Yuanzhen said.
"As word of what you did spreads through the clan during this time, your circumstances within the family will certainly become even worse than before."
"That Bibi Dong will inevitably become a harbinger of disaster for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as well, suffering the hatred, insults, and exclusion of the entire clan."
"During this time, make sure to protect her."
"Though she truly is a harbinger of disaster for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she is still a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and top-tier Twin Martial Souls."
"Even though her cultivation has been crippled, her bloodline and talent will not be affected."
"If you can marry her, the children the two of you have will certainly be exceptionally talented."
"That Spirit Hall is incomparably greedy. It forcibly extorted and took away our clan's treasured True Dragon Nine Crowns, causing our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan grievous losses."
"Since Bibi Dong was conveniently despised and discarded by Qian Xunji, leaving her behind."
"Then simply use her as some small compensation."
"Do your utmost and have more children with her. You can do that, right?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice.
Though hearing that he needed to protect Bibi Dong amid the hatred, insults, and exclusion of the entire clan.
Made the naturally cowardly Yu Xiaogang immediately shrink back.
But upon hearing that he was to have more children with Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang immediately became very confident and declared.
"Of course I can!"
With Bibi Dong's brains, he could fool her however he pleased!
And given Bibi Dong's love for him.
As long as he sweet-talked her a little more, wouldn't Bibi Dong eagerly keep having children for him?
Elsewhere.
After leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Six Pairs of Brilliant Golden Wings spread from Qian Xunji's back. Bathed in holy golden light, he was like a blazing sun streaking across the sky.
Taking Ling Yuan and the two great consecrated elders with him, he prepared to return directly to Spirit City.
After traveling for over a day.
The group finally returned to Spirit City.
(I found another beautiful picture of Spirit Kite Douluo, so I'll share it. (*￣︶￣))
