Gangzi Lost His Manhood
Seeing his dearest friend treated like this, Flender erupted in fury and savagely beat the Ten-Thousand-Year Cave Demon Spider.
At that moment, Flender fought more fiercely than ever before. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought his wife had been stolen and he'd been made to wear a green hat, sending him into a frenzy of rage.
Before long, he killed the Cave Demon Spider and emerged from the cave with purple blood covering his hands.
He hurried over to check on Yu Xiaogang.
After all, he had already seen that Xiaogang's lips were purple and his face was black. He had to have been poisoned, and they needed to deal with it quickly.
When he examined Yu Xiaogang to see where exactly he had been poisoned, his face froze.
Why had he been poisoned there?
Flender stared fixedly between Yu Xiaogang's legs.
"Damn it, that damned Cave Demon Spider."
"What do I do?"
Although the Cave Demon Spider's poison wasn't particularly potent, there was no way to find a healing Soul Master on such short notice.
More importantly, Tang San was still absorbing his Soul Ring, so they couldn't leave.
With no other choice, Flender could only channel Soul Power into Yu Xiaogang for the time being to prevent the poison from spreading.
Damn it, what do I do? What do I do?
After he had waited anxiously for quite a while, Tang San, who was not far away, finally finished absorbing the Soul Ring. A yellow ring rose from his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling better than ever, his Soul Power exceptionally abundant.
Besides, his Mysterious Heaven Skill had already reached a bottleneck three months before he awakened his Martial Soul.
It seemed that he had needed to obtain a Soul Ring to break through the Mysterious Heaven Skill's bottleneck.
He was about to test his Soul Ring when he saw Flender, his face full of anxiety, channeling Soul Power into Yu Xiaogang.
Startled, he hurriedly looked over.
Yu Xiaogang's lips were purple, his face was black, and he lay unconscious.
"Dean, what happened to Teacher?" Tang San hurried to his feet and came over to them.
Flender's expression was grim, but he continued channeling Soul Power to stop the poison from spreading:
"He was stung by a Ten-Thousand-Year Cave Demon Spider, and the place where it stung him... was between his legs."
Tang San crouched down and took one look at the wound, his expression changing drastically.
He then tore open the cloth and examined the area around the wound. Yu Xiaogang suddenly let out a muffled groan.
"Dean, this is bad. The poison has already gotten in. We have to deal with it quickly."
"You've finished absorbing your Soul Ring just in time. Xiao San, hurry, let's go find a healing Soul Master."
Flender hurriedly picked up Yu Xiaogang and was about to leave with Tang San.
But Tang San stopped him.
"Dean, there's no time. Poison in this spot is very different. The venom will follow the meridians to his heart meridian. If we don't deal with it, Teacher will be dead in ten minutes at most."
Flender grabbed Tang San's arm. "The way you handled him just now... Do you know how to neutralize the poison?"
"There's no time. The only thing we can do now is cut away the poisoned area."
Flender's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Tang San in disbelief.
Wait, that's your teacher! You actually want to cut off his manhood? How will he face anyone afterward?
"Isn't there any other way? If you do that, your teacher won't be able to be a man anymore."
Tang San hurriedly shook his head. "Dean, no. Cutting it off is the easiest solution."
"So you're saying there are other ways?" Flender hurriedly grabbed Tang San.
"What way? At the very least, we have to save Xiaogang's manhood!"
Tang San looked at Flender hesitantly. "Unless someone sucks the poison out of Teacher's wound while I seal his acupoints and push the poison out."
"Suck it out?"
Flender looked at the location of Yu Xiaogang's wound, then at Tang San. His lips trembled.
"You want me to suck it out?"
"Mm."
"I'm a fucking man."
"I know."
Flender fell silent for quite a while.
Yu Xiaogang, lying on the ground, twitched again. His lips had turned so purple they were black.
If they didn't deal with it quickly, forget his manhood-he'd lose his life.
Besides, what would Erlong do if he lost his manhood?
Flender closed his eyes for a moment, then crouched down and forced the words through clenched teeth. "Hurry up."
Tang San nodded and pressed a palm against Yu Xiaogang's lower abdomen, sending Soul Power into him to seal his meridians.
Flender lowered his head and gagged. Then he steeled himself and leaned in, sucking out a mouthful of black blood and turning his head to spit it out. He sucked out another mouthful and spat it out again.
As for Xu Qing, who was watching the fight from the other side, he had long since noticed the unusual situation and had the big fox censor those things in advance.
"Holy crap. As expected of Flender, the guy's a real hard-ass," Xu Qing said, the corner of his mouth twitching.
At that moment, sounds came intermittently from the light mirror.
After sucking out several mouthfuls, Flender raised his head and looked. Yu Xiaogang's lips were still black, and the swelling around the wound hadn't gone down.
Flender spat, his expression even uglier than Yu Xiaogang's:
"Xiao San, this isn't working. I've been sucking for ages, and it hasn't done a thing."
Tang San took another look at the wound and gritted his teeth. "Dean, it's too late. The poison has seeped deep into his meridians. It can't be sucked out."
"Then what do we do?"
"We can only cut it off."
Flender froze. "What did you say?"
"Cut off the poisoned part, and the poison won't continue toward his heart meridian. If we don't, once the poison reaches it, he'll lose his life."
Flender stared hard at him. "He's your teacher. If you cut off his manhood, he'll never be able to be a man again."
"I know." Tang San looked conflicted.
"But Dean, the most important thing now is to save Teacher's life, and time won't wait for us."
Flender was still hesitating, muttering things like "Sister Erlong," "How do I explain this?" and "What will they do if his manhood is gone?"
Tang San didn't wait any longer. He pulled out the dagger, raised his hand, and brought the blade down.
Yu Xiaogang let out a terrible scream, his eyes flying wide open, before he passed out completely.
Flender lunged forward and shoved Tang San aside. Looking at the blood and the severed thing on the ground, he trembled too hard to speak.
Tang San had already crouched down to press acupoints and stop the bleeding. He tore off strips of cloth and bandaged the wound with practiced movements.
"...Xiao San."
"Dean, Teacher is still alive."
Tang San stood up and wiped the blood from his hands on his pants.
"The poison didn't reach his heart meridian. His life is saved."
Flender looked at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang, then at Tang San. At last, he sighed and hoisted Yu Xiaogang onto his back. "Come on, let's get out of here."
The group disappeared into the depths of the forest.
After quite a while, Tang Hao emerged from the shadows and stood on the ground stained black by the spider's blood mixed with Yu Xiaogang's.
"Why did that Cave Demon Spider have to come out from underground at this exact time?"
Tang Hao couldn't make sense of it no matter how he thought about it. After murmuring to himself, he glanced in the direction Flender's group had gone and shook his head.
"Forget it."
"He only lost a mere inch or two anyway."
Elsewhere, beneath a large tree.
"Master, you don't look well."
"I just watched a disgusting show. How could I look well?"
Xu Qing stuffed the last piece of dried fruit in his hand into his mouth, but after chewing twice, he found it tasted wrong and spat it out.
"I've lost my appetite."
"Hsin doesn't have much of an appetite either." That was what Hsin said, but the way her tail swayed didn't look at all like she had lost her appetite.
"What are you so happy about?"
"Because that guy got his just deserts."
"He was the one who said he'd destroy you at any cost, Master."
"Now look at him. His mark of manhood is gone, and he won't even be able to explain it to his Erlong. Serves him right!"
Xu Qing looked up at her.
Hsin's face looked especially lovely in the light filtering through the leaves. The smile at the corner of her mouth was both sweet and wicked, and her red eyes were full of an "I'm so happy" sparkle.
Hsin lowered her head and met his gaze. "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Qing looked away. "Hmph. Destroy me at any cost? A mere piece of trash like Gang can do nothing but shout slogans."
"He shouted loudly enough that night, but didn't Brother Scar and his gang still torment him until his chrysanthemum couldn't hold in a fart?"
"Although that scene just now was disgusting, it was pretty satisfying to see the guy get his just deserts."
Hsin stared at his averted profile for a while, the smile on her face slowly changing from one of amused spectatorship to a sly one.
"Master."
"Hmm?"
"Ever since just now, you've been looking at me differently, Master."
"You're seeing things."
"Hsin never sees things wrong."
Hsin leaned a little closer, her voice softening:
"Hsin can probably guess what you're thinking, Master."
Xu Qing was silent for a moment before he spoke:
"Let's go."
"Where?"
"We'll set the treasure chest aside for now."
"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. First, we'll go get the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"We're going now? Old Poison is there, you know."
"He's just a Titled Douluo."
Xu Qing took a couple of steps forward without looking back.
"Can't you handle him?"
"You jest, Master."
Hsin followed him and walked at his side, her tail swaying lazily.
"When has Hsin ever disappointed you, Master? But-"
"But what?"
"Are you in such a hurry because of that show just now, Master, or because of something else?"
"Didn't you say you knew what I was thinking?"
"Why don't you guess, then?"
