Once greed arose in his heart, it instantly became uncontrollable.
Gamble on it!
From what Meng Bei showed regarding his feelings for Erlong, Yu Luomian had at least an eighty percent chance of winning this bet!
Yu Luomian stared intently at the spirit bone in Meng Bei's hand. In that instant, Yu Luomian quickly reached out to snatch it. Meng Bei seemed completely unprepared for this situation. By the time he reacted, the spirit bone was already in Yu Luomian's hands.
"Father!"
Liu Erlong exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Yu Luomian.
Meng Bei also showed a slightly angry expression and questioned:
"Uncle, what are you trying to do?"
Yu Luomian retreated two steps, carefully putting away the spirit bone, then said:
"Worthy nephew, Uncle is someone who's been through it all. I can't just watch you make mistakes. If you ask me, rather than letting this spirit bone be wasted like that, it's better to give it to me for safekeeping."
Liu Erlong was so angry watching this scene that tears were about to come out, her chest heaving violently.
"Father! How can you do this? Quickly return the spirit bone to Xiao Bei!"
Having such a greedy and shameless father could be said to make Liu Erlong lose all face before Meng Bei.
Meng Bei held Liu Erlong, gently stroking her back, silently comforting her.
This action finally stabilized Liu Erlong's emotions somewhat.
Meng Bei then said: "Uncle, are you trying to seize this spirit bone?"
Speaking, Meng Bei began emanating a powerful aura. The tremendous spirit power fluctuations and oppressive feeling made Yu Luomian's breathing difficult.
Yu Luomian was secretly shocked.
Is this the strength of the continent's number one genius?
Truly lives up to the reputation!
Feeling the terrifying pressure from Meng Bei, Yu Luomian felt Meng Bei's aura was even stronger than his elder brother Thunder Douluo. If he truly faced Meng Bei, he probably wouldn't have any chance of winning.
But even so, Yu Luomian still felt no fear in his heart.
Because he was Liu Erlong's father.
This was the source of his confidence.
From Meng Bei's attitude toward Liu Erlong just now, Yu Luomian was convinced he could firmly grasp Meng Bei with this identity.
What if his strength rivaled Title Douluos?
Would Meng Bei dare attack him?
Thinking this, Yu Luomian stood fearlessly before Meng Bei, full of confidence as he smiled: "Xiao Bei, how can this be called seizing? I've already entrusted my most beloved daughter to you. Can't you honor me with a small spirit bone?"
Hearing this, Meng Bei frowned tightly, seemingly having concerns, staring at Yu Luomian without taking action.
Seeing this scene, Yu Luomian became even more confident and escalated: "Xiao Bei, as long as you give me this spirit bone and then take on that matter for me, I'll completely entrust Erlong to you from now on and never interfere again. Otherwise... hehe, you don't want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to know about you and Erlong, do you!"
Liu Erlong stared with wide eyes at Yu Luomian, unable to accept that this was her biological father.
Such words - could they actually come from a father's mouth?
Shameless, despicable!
What difference was this from selling his daughter?
Liu Erlong was so angry her lips turned pale, her body trembling as she couldn't speak.
If not for Meng Bei holding Liu Erlong the whole time, she probably would have fainted on the spot.
"Doesn't Uncle think this is going too far? If my relationship with Erlong is really exposed, Erlong will definitely be hurt too. Is this what Uncle hopes to see?"
Meng Bei said in a low voice.
Yu Luomian was completely oblivious to this, still feeling everything was under control.
At this moment, Yu Luomian spoke even more directly:
"Hehe, this depends on whether your heart for my Erlong is sincere or not. If it's not sincere, then in my view, short pain is better than long pain!"
Hearing this, Meng Bei looked at Yu Luomian and asked: "What Uncle calls sincerity or lack thereof means wanting this spirit bone?"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian smiled but didn't answer.
But his meaning was already self-evident.
Meng Bei slowly lowered his head.
As if deflating, he sighed deeply.
Liu Erlong saw this and said heartbrokenly: "Xiao Bei, don't do this for me. I'm not worth it!"
"What are you talking about!"
Meng Bei turned and directly used his mouth to block Liu Erlong's mouth.
Seeing this, Yu Luomian learned from example and took out a spirit guidance device to record this scene.
Excellent - now he didn't need to worry about lacking evidence!
After the kiss, Liu Erlong's face was slightly flushed.
Meng Bei gently kissed Liu Erlong's forehead again, then turned to look at Yu Luomian and said:
"I agree."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian was overjoyed.
Excellent, excellent!
He indeed hadn't bet wrong.
Now not only was his life no longer in danger, but he'd also gained another powerful spirit bone. Hahaha, truly heaven was protecting him, Yu Luomian!
Although he'd basically fallen out with his daughter now, with the boost from these two spirit bones, Yu Luomian was confident he could break through to Title Douluo before age eighty!
By then, his future would be wide open. Living another one or two hundred years wouldn't be a problem. With that time, what couldn't he have?
"Worthy nephew truly has sincere feelings for my Erlong. Since that's the case, I won't obstruct anymore either. I wish worthy nephew and my Erlong a harmonious union for a hundred years. I won't disturb you further!"
Speaking, Yu Luomian smiled and withdrew.
He wasn't at all afraid Meng Bei would go back on his word.
Yu Luomian was confident he'd seen through Meng Bei completely.
A somewhat lustful but loyal and principled young man.
For this type of person, once they agreed to something, they basically wouldn't renege.
Moreover, even if Meng Bei did renege, Yu Luomian wasn't afraid.
He still had the recording!
If Meng Bei dared not do his part, he'd expose this matter. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan definitely wouldn't allow Meng Bei to keep other women outside. Then Meng Bei would definitely suffer!
Thinking this, Yu Luomian strode away from Blue Tyrant Academy.
At this moment, he urgently needed to find a quiet place to absorb the second spirit bone on his body.
However, just as Yu Luomian had walked out not long, a black-robed figure blocked his path.
At this moment, Yu Luomian was at his most proud. Even his behavior had become more arrogant than usual.
"Who are you? How dare you block..."
"Boom!"
A huge sound. Yu Luomian only saw a giant hammer flying across the sky, then lost consciousness.
His body successively smashed through three buildings, then like a broken sack, collapsed limply on the ground.
On the other side, Meng Bei was holding Liu Erlong's small hand, gently comforting her.
Liu Erlong was naturally downcast. Having her biological father cause difficulties - anyone encountering such a thing wouldn't be happy.
However, while feeling disappointed, Liu Erlong felt even more heartbroken for this young man before her who was thoughtfully comforting her.
Someone so young, with such brilliant talent, yet suffering such grievances for her sake.
"Xiao Bei!"
Liu Erlong's eyes reddened as she kissed him.
Meng Bei responded enthusiastically, then whispered to Liu Erlong. After listening, Liu Erlong's face became extremely flushed.
"You always think of such bad ideas!"
