Incompetent Erlong 2.0

In the dead of night, the cold moon hung high in the dark sky.

Having endured a hundred consecutive draws in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's council hall during the day, Yu Xiaogang now lay stiffly on the bed like a lifeless Yu Xiaogang.

His buttocks, especially, were swollen and raised from the beating; even the slightest movement of the muscles caused him to gasp in pain.

Liu Erlong's eyes reddened as she looked at her crush in such a pitiful state. With mixed feelings, she couldn't help but complain, "Uncle was too cruel."

"Hiss--"

Yu Xiaogang grimaced in pain, but her face still wore a stubborn expression of never admitting defeat.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. That old Bi Deng will regret what he did to me today sooner or later. When the Continental Theory Competition comes, this Grandwet will definitely show everyone what a true Grandwet is."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang still only focusing on arguing at this time, Liu Erlong still hoped that her Brother Xiaogang would soften a bit when she was in the hall, so that she wouldn't suffer for nothing.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.

The door was pushed open, and Brother Jie, Brother Wei, Brother Billy, and Brother Jiao stood outside.

Liu Erlong immediately stood up, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, spreading her arms to block the bed, her face full of anger:

"What are you four up to in the middle of the night? You were the ones making sarcastic remarks all day, causing Xiao Gang to be whipped like this, and now you still won't let him go?"

Faced with Liu Erlong's anger, Brother Jie said matter-of-factly:

"Look at what you're saying. What else could we be looking for Xiao Gang in the middle of the night? Of course, we're here to check on his paronychia. Xiao Gang is our best friend; if he hurts himself, how can we face him?"

Hearing the sound from outside the door, Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the bed, shuddered and felt a sharp pain in the wound on her buttocks.

With barely concealed fear, he cried out urgently, "Erlong! Quick... make them leave! This Grandwet is too badly injured today to discuss theories, quickly get them out of here!"

Liu Erlong gave him a reassuring look and gently reassured him, "Don't worry. Wait a moment, I'll go out and talk to them, I'll be right back."

In order not to involve the immobile Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong led the four of them to the corridor to negotiate.

As soon as she came out, Liu Erlong took the initiative to attack, glaring at her angrily:

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to see Xiao Gang make a fool of himself. Get out of here right now, and I won't allow you to come near him again! If you have a problem, come at me!"

Brother Jie laughed as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world, "Coming at you? Don't make me laugh. Brother Jie Xiao Gang told us that you keep saying you love him and want to protect him, but besides shedding a couple of useless tears, what else can you offer Xiao Gang?"

Liu Erlong was taken aback and was about to retort, but Brother Jie didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

"Do you understand the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul? Do you understand Multi-in-One Fusion Skill? You understand nothing. In the theory that Xiao Gang values most, you can't even get a word in edgewise. In the end, you're just a useless guy!"

"You--!"

Liu Erlong was trembling with anger, but couldn't find a single word to refute her, because it was indeed true.

Brother Wei chimed in, "Exactly! A useless woman like you only uses your so-called concern to hold him back, becoming a stumbling block on his path to truth. We're different. We can use the most perfect theories to test his conjectures again and again. We can support Xiao Gang's ultimate dream of becoming famous throughout the mainland!"

Brother Jie continued his merciless attack, "With an incompetent woman like you, he'll always be nothing but a lung fog. Only we can make him successful!"

Liu Erlong's face turned deathly pale; the words "incompetent woman" struck a nerve.

She sadly discovered that, in the very theory that Xiao Gang valued most, she was truly of no help whatsoever.

Xiao Gang's dream is to develop theories and become famous throughout the mainland, but she is completely incapable of helping him achieve it.

Liu Erlong instinctively wanted to say that once Tang San was born, Brother Xiaogang would no longer be lung fog.

But she couldn't say that she knew about this. Before this, Liu Erlong was nothing except providing Yu Xiaogang with materials for Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Driven by an instinctive protective instinct, she gritted her teeth and made a final, futile struggle, threatening in grief and indignation:

"Stop arguing! If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll call the sect to arrest you all."

"Leave us here?" Faced with the blustering but cowardly threat, Brother Jie was not only unafraid, but instead burst into unrestrained laughter.

He scoffed, "Go ahead and call them! Who do you think you are? You haven't even been formally recognized as a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan yet. You're just a bastard daughter with no status whatsoever. During the day in the main hall, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen didn't even give you a second glance. Do you think the sect will listen to a wild girl like you complain? What threat can you pose to us?"

Seeing Liu Erlong trembling all over, Brother Jie Youyou tossed out a sentence:

"I advise you to be honest. Madam, you don't want your husband to have no more theories to study from now on, do you?"

These words undoubtedly dealt a devastating blow to Liu Erlong.

Yes, Xiao Gang is so eager to prove himself, so eager to make a name for himself in future competitions.

As an incompetent wife, she could give him nothing, not even protect him from beatings.

Is she really going to ruin Xiao Gang's lifelong dream for the sake of a ridiculous protective instinct?

Liu Erlong was plunged into the victim's extreme despair and deep doubt.

After a long silence, tears of humiliation streamed down her cheeks.

She bit her lip hard, feeling utterly frustrated and resigned, and slumped to the side, opening the door to the room.

Seeing Liu Erlong completely give up resistance, Brother Jie and his three companions let out a contemptuous sneer and went into the room.

"Click--"

The sound of the door bolt locking from the inside was particularly clear and jarring in the corridor.

Liu Erlong was left alone, leaning weakly against the cold door, as if all her strength had been drained.

She covered her ears, tears streaming down her face.

Inside the room, the four looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was completely unable to move, exchanged glances, and their lips curled up in unison.

In just a moment, Brother Jie three companions transformed into theoretical Grandwet, donning classic battle outfits.

Yu Xiaogang trembled with fear as the four approached, letting out a desperate cry for help, "You... you stay away! Erlong, you..."

However, no one paid any attention to his feeble protests.

Brother Jie slowly took off his black-rimmed glasses and casually tossed them aside.

"What a sorry sight, Gangzi."

"Don't worry, tonight we'll use the most professional techniques to properly treat your paronychia."
