You're Fierce with Me, but I Like It So Much

Perhaps it was because she had accumulated too many emotions over the years, or perhaps it was because she was too heartbroken and disappointed in Yu Xiaogang, or perhaps it was because she felt too sorry for Liu Erlong for wasting twenty years of her youth waiting for Yu Xiaogang but not getting what she wanted, and perhaps she was too angry at her for not living up to her potential.

For the first time, Flender, who had always been obedient and subservient to Liu Erlong, questioned Liu Erlong in such a loud and stern tone.

Seeing Flender like this, Liu Erlong was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Just like when Yu Xiaogang was aloof and indifferent to her, she found Yu Xiaogang very charming and fell hopelessly in love with him.

Even after learning that they were actually cousins, she remained devoted to Yu Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang. Despite his avoidance and retreat, she waited patiently for twenty years without regret.

At this moment, Flender, who had always been very gentle and obedient to her and whom she regarded as an older brother, was actually being harsh with her.

Logically, Liu Erlong should be angry, but what's unusual is that she's acting strangely at this moment.

Instead of being angry, Liu Erlong felt a strange emotion stirring within her; she even felt a flutter of romantic longing for Flender, whom she had previously regarded as an older brother.

Just like when she first met Yu Xiaogang, who was cold and indifferent to her.

Upon realizing this thought in her heart, Liu Erlong felt shocked and incredulous, as well as somewhat ashamed and flustered.

It was as if a lovestruck, innocent young woman had suddenly realized that she was actually a wanton masochist, which made Liu Erlong feel ashamed and angry.

Feeling Flender's bitter, sorrowful, resentful yet burning gaze, Liu Erlong suddenly felt very nervous, her throat became dry, and her voice trembled and stuttered.

"Boss Fu, I... I've always considered you a brother... a brother... I..."

"Yu Xiaogang is your real brother!!"

"I'm not your brother, and I don't want to be your brother. I want to be your lover, do you understand?"

Flender placed his hands on Liu Erlong's shoulders, forcibly straightening her body so that she would look him in the eye, while speaking with some emotion.

But seeing Liu Erlong turn her head away in a flustered and helpless manner, not daring to meet his gaze, Flender was originally agitated, immediately softened.

My initial excitement subsided and I calmed down a bit.

"I'm sorry, Sister Erlong, I was a little too emotional just now. Did I scare you?" Flender's voice softened, his tone tinged with concern and apology.

"No... it's okay." Liu Erlong's cheeks were a little red and hot, but under the cover of the cool, bright moonlight, it was not obvious.

Flender sighed, released his grip on Liu Erlong's hands, and looked up at the churning sea of clouds, his expression turning somewhat melancholic.

"I'm sorry, Sister Erlong, when I wrote to invite you to teach at the Shrek Academy because of Mubai, I made a solemn promise in the letter that Yu Xiaogang would also come—"

"But now I'm afraid I'll have to break that promise I made in my letter and disappoint you. Yu Xiaogang probably won't be coming."

Perhaps it was the shock of Flender' confession that had just struck her, or the fact that she had felt a stirring of love for Flender when she discovered Flender harsh rebuke.

I realized that I wasn't as love-obsessed and naive as I had imagined.

Her feelings for Yu Xiaogang, who had let her down and disappointed her many times, didn't seem to be as deep and strong as she had imagined.

This made Liu Erlong feel guilty and ashamed, shocked and surprised, as well as a sense of excitement and stimulation that he himself did not realize, and a sense of pleasure and revenge.

Liu Erlong was currently immersed in her own emotions and perceptions, and she was unaware of Flender's mention of Yu Xiaogang and his statement that Yu Xiaogang probably wouldn't come to the Shrek Academy.

Surprisingly, Liu Erlong did not have a strong emotional reaction, nor was she as disappointed as one might expect.

When Flender saw that Liu Erlong did not answer, he assumed that she was disappointed by his broken promise and that he was saddened that Yu Xiaogang would not come to the Shrek Academy.

This made Flender even more depressed, and his disappointment and disillusionment with Yu Xiaogang intensified.

He then began to speak to himself, as if explaining to Liu Erlong, or as if venting his own frustrations.

"I know you're a loyal and righteous person, Erlong. If I asked you to come, you'd most likely do. But I also know your feelings for Yu Xiaogang, and Mubai's matter is of great importance."

"Therefore, to ensure you would definitely come, I took advantage of your feelings for Yu Xiaogang and wrote in the letter that Yu Xiaogang would also be coming."

"Of course, while it's called using you, I haven't actually deceived you. Just like with Sister Erlong, at Heaven Dou Blue Tyrant Academy, I've also been able to find out Yu Xiaogang's location over the years, and I did indeed write him an invitation letter this time."

"And unlike when I only wrote you one Erlong, and when I only sent one letter, I received your reply agreeing to come and teach at the Shrek Academy."

"I sent three invitation letters to Yu Xiaogang, but all three letters disappeared without a trace, and I didn't receive a single reply from Yu Xiaogang."

"Perhaps you, Erlong, are saying that Yu Xiaogang might not be at the original address anymore, or that he might have been delayed by something and forgotten to reply, but we haven't received a reply after sending three letters in a row."

"Then one night, I specially transformed into my Martial Soul Avatar and flew to his city overnight. I found that he had not moved to any other place. Yu Xiaogang had received my letter and had also read the letter I sent."

"But he didn't reply to me. Of the three letters I sent, he burned one after reading it, shattered another with his Soul Power after reading it, and threw the third letter into the trash can after reading it."

"In these three letters, I was worried that if he knew you would come too, he would hesitate and run away, so I didn't mention you. At the same time, I also planned to give him a surprise later."

But he didn't reply to me.

"Although I didn't mention you in the three letters I sent, I did say that I needed his help. My Shrek Academy has recruited a peerless genius like Mubai Mubai, and we need his help in training and educating him."

"In my letter, I told him that Mubai has outstanding talent, and if he could come to the Shrek Academy to help cultivate Mubai, it would also help verify the correctness of his Martial Soul Theory."

"I even mentioned in the letter that my personal disciple Hongjun's Martial Soul Mutation was incomplete, and that his Martial Soul had some drawbacks and defects, so I wanted him to come and help me."

"Although I didn't mention you, Erlong, in my letter, I did invoke the friendship of our old Golden Iron Triangle, imploring him to come to the Shrek Academy to help me. Moreover, teaching Mubai and Hongjun would also benefit him—"

"But he didn't. Not only did he not agree, he didn't even reply to a single letter. How can I not feel heartbroken and disappointed in him?"
