After Xiaogang finished speaking, he put his arm around Liu Erlong's slender waist and looked at Qian Xunji, neither obsequious nor arrogant.
Qian Xunji hadn't spoken a word, he just stood there, while Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong, these three golden hens, continuously laid a large number of eggs for Qian Xunji.
How delightful!
Yu Luomian became anxious. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to connect with the Pope? Yu Luomian immediately unleashed his Spirit Douluo's pressure, directing it towards Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was immediately forced to his knees on the ground.
"What kind of trash are you, a good-for-nothing from my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, trying to marry my daughter? Are you even worthy?" Yu Luomian said.
[Yu Xiaogang's humiliation +19999]
Yu Xiaogang was forced to his knees, utterly suppressed. However, everything he endured physically was far less painful than what he endured psychologically.
He was forced to kneel helplessly in front of Qian Xunji. Yu Xiaogang's eyes lifted, and he saw Qian Xunji looking down at him from above, with blatant contempt in his eyes. Yu Xiaogang felt a deep humiliation.
"Enough, Yu Luomian, you are not allowed to treat my Xiaogang like this!" Liu Erlong rushed directly in front of Yu Xiaogang, spreading her arms for him, and with great effort, blocked Yu Luomian's pressure on Yu Xiaogang.
[Liu Erlong's resentment +12000]
At this moment, a strong feeling of resentment arose in Liu Erlong's heart. In her opinion, if it weren't for the appearance of Yu Luomian and Qian Xunji, her and Yu Xiaogang's matter would have already been settled. They would have entered the bridal chamber tonight and had two babies in three years. Even if Xiaogang found out later that she was his cousin, he would have to accept it, even if he didn't want to.
But Liu Erlong's good fortune was completely ruined by her good "Father" and that damned beast, Qian Xunji, the Pope.
Even if you are Your Holiness the Pope, Qian Xunji, I, Liu Erlong, won't give you the time of day.
Perhaps Yu Xiaogang had been kneeling long enough, for Qian Xunji then stepped forward to mediate. He first flashed behind Liu Erlong, pulled Yu Xiaogang up, then released him and moved to stand opposite Yu Xiaogang, saying to Yu Luomian, "Alright, Elder Yu Luomian, don't force Erlong any longer. Although I have genuine feelings for Erlong, seeing her so devoted to Yu Xiaogang, I, Qian Xunji, am not one to force others. How about this, I have a solution."
Yu Xiaogang was vaguely helped up by Qian Xunji. Seeing Qian Xunji standing opposite him, he couldn't guess Qian Xunji's intentions for a moment.
Qian Xunji then said, "Yu Xiaogang and I will stand on opposite sides, and Erlong will choose who she truly loves. If Erlong chooses me, then this matter is settled. If she doesn't choose me and chooses Yu Xiaogang, then it proves that I, Qian Xunji, am ultimately not destined for Erlong. Even if they are cousins, if there is love, there's no problem. This Pope will hold a grand wedding for Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong."
[Yu Xiaogang's disdain +15000]
[Yu Xiaogang's panic +12000]
As soon as Yu Xiaogang heard this, he immediately found it amusing. The method Qian Xunji proposed was truly laughable. Yu Xiaogang stated that while he might be inferior to Qian Xunji in many other aspects, when it came to Spirit Master knowledge and Erlong's feelings for him, he believed Qian Xunji had no chance of winning. Qian Xunji, it seems you are merely famous in name; to propose such a foolish method is purely to humiliate yourself.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang found a sense of superiority, a "wisdom suppression," in front of Qian Xunji.
But when he heard Qian Xunji's next sentence, Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked.
Liu Erlong choosing him was a certainty, but if Erlong chose him, His Holiness the Pope Qian Xunji would hold a grand wedding for him and Erlong. Wouldn't that be putting him on a roasting spit?
With the Pope's influence, this matter would undoubtedly attract worldwide attention once it spread. At that time, the entire Spirit Master's world would know that he, Yu Xiaogang, married his cousin. Where would he put his face?
No, absolutely not.
Yu Xiaogang didn't want Qian Xunji to cuckold him, but he also didn't want to marry Liu Erlong, who was related by blood, and ruin his reputation. But...
Yu Xiaogang had no way to deal with the current situation.
While it was a difficult problem for Yu Xiaogang, for Liu Erlong, it was much simpler.
At this moment, was the choice between Yu Xiaogang and Qian Xunji difficult for Liu Erlong?
Not at all. She only needed to choose the Xiaogang she loved, and moreover, the Pope would personally hold a grand wedding for her and Xiaogang. With the Spirit Hall Pope present, Yu Luomian would not be able to stop her from being with the person she loved.
Once she married, she would then forcefully take Xiaogang and have one or two babies, and Yu Xiaogang would be tied to her for life, unable to escape.
At this moment, Liu Erlong and Flender even felt a trace of goodwill towards Qian Xunji.
Liu Erlong turned her head and looked at the terrified Yu Xiaogang, her eyes filled with the gaze of a hunter looking at prey.
"Your Holiness the Pope," Yu Luomian hurriedly stepped forward, wanting Qian Xunji to retract his command.
In his opinion, this brain-dead girl, Liu Erlong, would definitely choose Yu Xiaogang and abandon Qian Xunji, which would completely ruin his plan to connect with the Spirit Hall and thereby increase his influence within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Ah," Qian Xunji waved his hand and said, "Elder Yu Luomian, I, Qian Xunji, as the Spirit Hall Pope, do not go back on my word. How can words once spoken be retracted?"
"You choose," Qian Xunji said to Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong nodded and looked at Xiaogang, only to find Xiaogang's face full of resistance, and her heart couldn't help but ache.
Xiaogang, do you really care so much about our cousin relationship?
No, no matter what, I must seize my happiness. I will make you no longer care about this barrier between us.
Thinking of this, Liu Erlong took a step towards Yu Xiaogang.
"Hehehe, Erlong, you wouldn't want Xiaogang to get hurt, would you?"
Suddenly, a voice entered Liu Erlong's ears. Liu Erlong was slightly startled, then turned her head to look at Qian Xunji behind her.
Qian Xunji's mouth didn't even move, but his eyes were like those of a skilled hunter looking at his prey.
"You can make the choice you most desire in your heart, but I can't guarantee that Xiaogang will be able to leave this church unharmed today."
[Liu Erlong's shock +50000]
[Liu Erlong's anger +50000]
Just as Liu Erlong was about to erupt, that voice once again entered Liu Erlong's ears: "You need to be natural. I don't want my brother Xiaogang to notice anything suspicious, otherwise, I might have to do something regrettable to Xiaogang."
[Liu Erlong's anger +50000]
[Liu Erlong's fear +50000]
At this, Liu Erlong suppressed the raging anger in her heart. She dared not erupt, for fear that Qian Xunji would take it out on Yu Xiaogang, whom she deeply loved. It didn't matter if she died, but Xiaogang couldn't be harmed!
"Choose me, or choose for Xiaogang to die? If you choose me, then do as I say."
