Liu Erlong also realized the seriousness of the problem. She knew Xiaogang valued his reputation highly, and if he knew she was his cousin, he would definitely reject her.
So Liu Erlong quickly said, "No, it's not like that. My name is Liu Erlong, and I don't have a father."
"Erlong, I know you hate me, hate me for abandoning you and your mother back then, but you can't change the fact that the blood of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan flows through you." Yu Luomian's words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Yu Xiaogang's heart.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong with red eyes, then at his second uncle, and murmured, "I, I should have noticed it earlier. The connection between your Fire Dragon and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Erlong, your Spirit mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, didn't it? It's just that the main attribute changed from lightning to fire, right?"
"No, it's not like that."
Yu Xiaogang gave a desolate smile, a tear flowing from the corner of his eye. He was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the son of Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen. He should have awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but instead awakened a Luo Sanpao, becoming a laughingstock of the Sect and a disgrace in his father's heart.
His first love, Bibi Dong, ended without resolution due to Qian Xunji's obstruction.
Now, after much difficulty, he had met his true love again, Liu Erlong, a woman who deeply loved him. They had already gone through the ceremony and were only a step away from the bridal chamber. But then Yu Luomian showed up directly, bringing Yu Xiaogang the cruel news that Liu Erlong was his cousin.
This…
This damned fate truly loved playing jokes on him.
"Erlong, you and Flender actually both knew your identity, but you've been hiding it from me, haven't you?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender and Liu Erlong with a bitter smile.
Flender was at a loss, while Liu Erlong repeatedly said, "No, Xiaogang, I didn't mean that. So what if we're cousins? I don't care at all. Xiaogang, even if you are my cousin, I still love you."
Yu Xiaogang looked resistant and shook his head. You don't care, but I do! If this gets out, and people know that I, Yu Xiaogang, married my cousin, how will they view me?
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to make a run for it, footsteps came from outside.
Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo walked out from among them, and Qian Xunji even clapped his hands repeatedly.
"Good, good, good, what a deeply moving love story! Yu Luomian, it seems our in-laws won't be able to become one after all."
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian immediately became agitated. How could this be? He patted his chest and said, "Your Holiness the Pope, Erlong is my daughter, and I am her father. Can't I make decisions for her?"
Yu Luomian's address of "Your Holiness the Pope" immediately drew the attention of the Golden Triangle.
[Yu Xiaogang's Shock +10000]
[Yu Xiaogang's Resentment +15000]
[Liu Erlong's Confusion +5000]
Especially Yu Xiaogang, at the moment he saw Qian Xunji, he clenched his fists tightly. He didn't know why Qian Xunji was here, but wherever Qian Xunji was, nothing good ever happened.
Liu Erlong grabbed Yu Xiaogang, who was trying to escape, and hearing Yu Luomian's words, her delicate brows couldn't help but furrow.
In-laws? Make decisions? What did this mean? Could it be…
"Erlong, come over here. This is His Holiness the Pope of Spirit Hall, and he will be your husband in the future," Yu Luomian said.
Yu Luomian's words struck like thunder in the hearts of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender.
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
[Flender's Shock +15000]
[Liu Erlong's Shock +20000]
[Yu Xiaogang's Shock +25000]
What followed were their respective reactions. Liu Erlong's temper immediately flared up. She said, "You, Yu Luomian, have no right to decide for me. You are not my father. I only love Xiaogang."
Flender didn't speak, but his stance was firm, standing by Liu Erlong's side.
And Yu Xiaogang's eyes could not hide his resentment.
Before Qian Xunji appeared, after Yu Xiaogang learned that Liu Erlong was his cousin, he immediately decided to run away. Although Yu Xiaogang liked Liu Erlong, he couldn't joke with his reputation.
With Liu Erlong, it was a matter of ethics; he, Yu Xiaogang, could not marry her.
Before Qian Xunji arrived, Yu Xiaogang had already made plans to escape.
However, Liu Erlong was, after all, the woman Yu Xiaogang had gone through the ceremony with but not yet entered the bridal chamber. No matter who this woman found in the future, it would cast a green light over Yu Xiaogang's head. How could Yu Xiaogang accept this?
Fortunately, Flender was still by his side!
Yu Xiaogang knew one thing clearly: Flender had lust but no guts. Even if he cuckolded anyone, he wouldn't cuckold himself, and Liu Erlong would only be interested in him, not Flender. This way, his reputation would be preserved, and he would prevent a green light from appearing over his head. He could then find a place to drown his sorrows and lament fate's injustice to him. The plan was perfect.
However, plans always change. As Yu Xiaogang was about to run, Qian Xunji arrived.
Judging from the conversation between Yu Luomian and Qian Xunji, his second uncle actually wanted to marry his woman to Qian Xunji. How could Yu Xiaogang tolerate this?
He couldn't accept marrying his cousin, but he absolutely couldn't allow someone else to covet his woman. If Qian Xunji married Liu Erlong, what would Yu Xiaogang be?
Bibi Dong had already been ruined by Qian Xunji; he couldn't allow Liu Erlong to be ruined as well.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's previously resistant hand once again rested on Liu Erlong's slender waist. He decided to first drive Qian Xunji away, and then he would talk to Erlong properly about how they weren't suitable.
Liu Erlong felt Yu Xiaogang's hand on her waist and was immediately overjoyed, thinking, "Sure enough, Xiaogang still loves me."
[Liu Erlong's Anger +20000]
[Liu Erlong's Disgust +30000]
[Flender's Anger +15000]
[Yu Xiaogang's Resentment +50000]
[Yu Xiaogang's Resentment +50000]
"You brat, I am your father! How dare you not listen to your father? Have you forgotten whose Spirit you inherited? Believe it or not, I'll cripple you!" Yu Luomian's eyes blazed with fury seeing Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang so intimate. He had finally found a connection with the Pope, so how could Yu Luomian allow his daughter and his nephew to ruin it?
Liu Erlong immediately said to Yu Luomian, "Crippling me is fine! I tell you, I, Liu Erlong, will only love Xiaogang in this life, without regret."
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang on the side was stunned. Cripple? If you cripple your Spirit, how will my Golden Triangle combine?
Xiaogang stepped forward and said, "Second Uncle, Erlong likes me, and I like her too. You haven't fulfilled your duty to raise her, so how can you dictate her major life decisions?"
