Chapter 148: Another Drama unfolding!
Xiaogang's eyes quivered with a mixture of anger and hurt as he watched Xuan Yan and Liu Erlong acting so intimately.
The sight tore at his heart, leaving him questioning whether Liu Erlong had truly forgotten about him and moved on with Xuan Yan.
His voice trembled with a hint of indifference as he tried to confirm the truth. "What is your relationship with Liu Erlong?" he asked.
Xuan Yan's frown deepened as he responded, "Why do I have to say anything about my relationship with Long'er to you?" His dismissive tone only added to Xiaogang's frustration.
The mention of 'Long'er' by Xuan Yan caused Xiaogang to clench his palm tightly, feeling a pang of jealousy and possessiveness. "Because I am her lover for the past 20 years and... still now,"
Xuan Yan was shocked and looked at Liu Erlong's teary eyes "Long'er, what is he saying?"
Liu Erlong subtly nodded her head "W-What he said is true…"
Xiaogang couldn't help but smirk disdainfully "It seems like she never told you about her past…" he commented, his voice dripping with a mixture of mockery and condescension.
Xuan Yan sighed and said in a cold voice "What happened in the past is not a problem. But now she is my woman. She is MINE!"
Liu Erlong was taken aback, her eyes widening in shock upon hearing Xuan Yan's declaration. Amidst the chaos of emotions, she couldn't decipher if Xuan Yan's words were genuine or just a teasing remark.
She waited for more than 20 years to see Yu Xiaogang and now Xuan Yan is telling him that he is her lover.
Has he really fallen in love with me? No! no! She quickly removed the idea from her mind as it is not possible.
The conflicting emotions within Liu Erlong intensified, torn between her feelings for Xiaogang and the growing attraction she felt toward Xuan Yan. She wanted to explain, to clarify, but the situation had spiraled out of control, and she found herself speechless.
Xiaogang clenched his teeth upon hearing this and looked at Liu Erlong's thoughtful face in his arms. She is not rejecting it? So they are really…?
His mind went crazy in chaos and confusion. First, Xuan Yan mercilessly beat and humiliated him and his disciple leaving them both physically and emotionally shattered. And now he also snatched away his woman.
He loved Liu Erlong because she is the most affectionate person. She was head over heels for him at that time and thought she would always love her.
But he ran off from the marriage because of 'certain' reasons. But when he can't achieve his goals after the marriage cancellation, he returned.
However, the thought of confronting Liu Erlong once again seemed too daunting for him. Unable to muster the courage to face her, he ran away like a coward.
He thought that Liu Erlong would always love him. Until death, she should always love him, only him. Yet why…why…
Yu Xiaogang's face turned ugly as he remembered his old days of being humiliated and mocked as trash, but later he met Liu Erlong and he got some happiness in his heart. She even worked hard with him to find the solution for his martial spirit defect.
His Erlong who loved him so much has left him….Argh!!
Liu Erlong gazed at Yu Xiaogang's uncertain eyes and wanted to explain "Xiaogang, I…"
In the grip of anguish and jealousy, Xiaogang's emotions reached a boiling point.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened crazily as his mind went berserk consumed by the overwhelming pain of heartbreak "Ha...Is that so? IS THAT SO? HAAH?!!"
He lashed "ERLONG YOU FUCKING BITCH!!"
Liu Erlong was startled by Yu Xiaogang's crazy red eyes. "B-Bitch? X-Xiaogang, what happened..." she stammered, her voice barely audible amidst the chaos.
But Xiaogang's rage continued to pour out, unfiltered and unforgiving.
"TCH! YOU WHORE!! YOU ACTUALLY SEDUCED AND HOOKED UP WITH A YOUNG MAN!!"
"SHAMELESS! DISGUSTING!!!"
"For power and looks, you forgot me and enticed a young man and made him your lover. How can you-*slap*"
Xuan Yan appeared in front of him and gave a forceful slap across his face as the trace of his five fingers etched on his face.
*boom* The force of the blow sent Xiaogang flying, crashing into the wall with a resounding boom. "Arghhh-*cough* The wall cracked and he fell on the floor coughing blood and crying in pain.
Xuan Yan then cast his icy gaze on Flender, his body shivered in fear and he retreated back unconsciously.
Liu Erlong's eyes trembled in shock and sorrow. Her heart felt heavy with pain and confusion as she looked at Xiaogang, her eyes brimming with tears. His hurtful words had cut her deeply, leaving her feeling lost and broken.
"What happened to you, Xiaogang?" she whispered, her voice trembling with distress. "Even though Yan said that, can't you believe me? Don't you have faith in our love?"
"Do you think I am that kind of woman?"
"ARghh!!" Seeing Xuan Yan beating Xiaogang violently and stomping his feat repeatedly on Xiogang's face. Liu Erlong was startled and quickly walked near him.
"Yan, stop! Stop! beating him." Liu Erlong grabbed Xuan Yan's hand and pulled him. *puchi* He placed his foot on Xiaogang's face and pressed it on the floor.
"Yan..."
Xuan Yan gazed at Flender "Why did you come here today? To meet Long'er?"
Flender was surprised and turned his eyes at Liu Erlong and back at Xuan Yan "Um..w-we came here to admit our disciples in this Academy and thought of getting a job as teachers in this Academy."
Xuan Yan frowned "So along with the one I beat yesterday, all four of them are your disciples?"
Flender nodded "Y-Yeah, they are..."
*thud* He again kicked Yu Xiaogang's face and he rolled on the floor *cough*. Liu Erlong's heart shook in pain seeing Xiaogang bloodied on the floor
She crouched down to help him. But Xuan Yan grabbed her waist tightly. Liu Erlong was surprised and looked at Xuan Yan "Y-Yan...let me go...Xiaogang."
Xuan Yan looked at her and placed his finger on his lips "Shh". Liu Erlong was confused by all this fuss. What are you doing, Yan?
He looked at Flender "Wake him up!" Huh? Flender was confused by the sudden occurrence of things but still, he nodded and helped Yu Xiaogang to get up.
Yu Xiaogang's face is swollen crimson on one side and blood is dripping from his mouth. He shook his head to get a clear vision as his eyes are blurred.
His legs are trembling because of the sheer pain in his body caused by Xuan Yan's stompings. But he still stood with the help of Flender.
Once again, his eyes caught sight of Xuan Yan, his fingers wrapped tightly around Liu Erlong's waist, while she seemed at ease in his loving embrace. He was beaten and humiliated right in front of her eyes but she is in his tight arms.
This sight only served to further ignite the flames of his anger "Huff. You are showing off in front of me? Tch! Bitch!"
Xuan Yan looked at Liu Erlong "Long'er. Is he the 'friend' you were searching for a cure for martial spirit defect? A level 29 Spirit Grandmaster."
Xiaogang scoffed in his mind. You introduced me as a friend to him? So you have already forgotten me a long time ago. A deep pain swept through his heart thinking this. His Erlong is gone...
Liu Erlong somewhat nodded "Y-Yeah..."
"And we did find the cure, right?"
Xiaogang's and Flender's eyes widened upon hearing this.
In a state of utter disbelief and desperation, Yu Xiaogang's emotions spiraled out of control. He seemed to lose his composure entirely, acting like a madman, driven by a mix of excitement and hope.
His heart got so excited and his breathing ragged "WHAT?! Did you find it? Did you find the cure to my martial spirit problem? Really? REALLY??"
"YOU! YOU FOUND IT??!!"
"HA..Haa...HAHAHA!!"
His questions poured out frantically, with a hint of madness, as he bombarded Xuan Yan with inquiries about the cure for his martial spirit defect.
Liu Erlong was taken aback and deeply shocked by the intense, mad look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. His eyes, usually gentle and caring, were now filled with wild desperation that startled her.
Xiaogang? Have you changed? Her eyes quivered in uncertainty. No, he must be so happy because the cure he is searching for so many years is finally in his grasp.
Xuan Yan looked at Liu Erlong and extended his hand "Long'er!" Liu Erlong nodded and a purple mushroom-shaped plant appeared in her hand from her storage ring and placed it in Xuan Yan's hand.
Yu Xiaogang laughed and his heart jumped in excitement. He can feel it, the extraordinary aura from the plant in Xuan Yan's hand.
With sheer delight, a smile stretched across his face as he exclaimed "My martial soul seems to be drawn towards it. This...I think this can really cure my defect...Hahahaha!!" his mad laugh echoed through the hall.
Xuan Yan smiled "I can give it to you. This will not only cure your defect, but it will even evolve your martial spirit."
Yu Xiaogang smirked. Not only cure but also...evolve his martial spirit. The mere thought of such an extraordinary phenomenon sent an electrifying surge of anticipation coursing through his veins. I want it!!! I FUCKING WANT IT!!
"But...nothing in this world is free, right?"
Huh? Yu Xiaogang was shocked to hear this. The thing he wants so desperately is right in front of him but he can't...have it. No! No! I want it...ARGH!
The memories from his childhood resurfaced in his heart. Being always called trash and was bullied both physically and mentally. He was even kicked out of the sect because of his martial spirit mutation and the defect.
He wants to change that. He wants to change everything and stand proudly in front of them. He wants to prove himself worthy and a genius.
And the only thing that can help him do that is right in front of his eyes. He would do anything to get that. Anything! ANYTHINGG!!
His mind rapidly searched for answers on how to get the herb from Xuan Yan's hand. Every fiber of his being yearned for the herb in Xuan Yan's hand.
His mad red eyes gazed at Liu Erlong and he realized "Haah...you want something in return, right? You can take her, Liu Erlong."
"Even though we loved each other I haven't laid my hands on her. She is fresh and a virgin. You can take her and fuck her. HAHA...she doesn't love me anymore. And now she loves you."
"I..I won't disturb you or her in the future."
"I just..I-I just want that herb. Give it to me. GIVE IT TO ME!"
"I can feel the powerful aura and I am sure I can be so powerful in the future. After I became powerful, I can have as many women as I wanted. So you can have this Bitch!"
"Just...give me that p-precious fucking herb!"
