Chapter 69: Flanders' Reluctance, Yu Xiaogang: Great! My life is about to reach its peak (2)
"Alright! Then, Boss Flanders, I'll tell you: the person I like... is my second brother!"
Seeing that Flanders' words seemed sincere, Liu Erlong gathered her courage and revealed the name of the person she liked.
What...? She really likes Second Brother?
When Flanders heard Liu Erlong say that the person she liked was Second Brother, Yu Xiaogang, he was stunned and found it incredibly hard to believe.
In his opinion, although Yu Xiaogang looked better than him, his appearance could only be considered average and had nothing to do with the word "handsome."
As for strength—there was nothing to say!
Second Brother, Yu Xiaogang, was already in his thirties and had only just reached the level of Soul Grandmaster. Now he was a Soul Emperor, and he would undoubtedly have the chance to cultivate to the realm of Soul Sage in the future.
From any point of view, Flanders felt he was clearly more outstanding, so why would Third Sister, Liu Erlong, like Second Brother, Yu Xiaogang?
For a moment, Flanders felt extremely resentful.
In his mind, it wouldn't matter if Third Sister Liu Erlong liked a younger, more handsome guy or a more talented young man with greater power.
If it were one of those two types of people, he would certainly accept it and stop pursuing Liu Erlong from then on.
Because he knew that, in truth, he wasn't as good as them.
If Liu Erlong could be with one of them, she'd surely be happier than with him.
But Yu Xiaogang has neither looks nor strength. For Liu Erlong to like him—isn't that like a flower stuck in cow dung?!
In short, Flanders was indignant for a while.
"Boss F, can you help me be with my Second Brother?"
Seeing that Flanders was troubled, Liu Erlong confessed who she liked, and immediately looked at him with hopeful, deep blue eyes, her jade-like hands clasped.
This made Flanders swallow all the words he wanted to say, and he could only smile reluctantly and reply:
"Don't worry, Third Sister. We're close as siblings, and Second Brother is like a brother to me. I won't be jealous of him. On the contrary, I'll help you two get together, so don't worry!"
As he said this, Flanders patted his chest, as if to show his determination and reassure Liu Erlong.
But deep down, his heart was bleeding as he said these words.
What else could he do?
He truly loved Third Sister, Liu Erlong!
As long as she was happy—even if it meant helping her get together with the one she loved, even if he were asked to give her a massage on her wedding night—he'd gladly do it.
That could be considered his humble little happiness...

"What a simp! He actually took the initiative to help his goddess and romantic rival get together—unbelievable!"
When Su Mo arrived at the house where Liu Erlong and the other two lived, he saw Flanders' confession to Liu Erlong through the cat he had sent, and he couldn't help but complain.
Even though he had known in his previous life that Flanders was a simp, he was still speechless seeing how utterly humble he was before Liu Erlong.
In any case, if he were Flanders, he would never have taken the initiative to help Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang. He would have wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang!
Even if he didn't kill him, if he had the strength, he'd definitely find a way to make Yu Xiaogang a eunuch!
In short, if he couldn't have her, no one else could!
Truth be told, Su Mo had mixed feelings about simps.
Although Su Mo had been someone in his past life who only liked 2D women and was never interested in real ones—or rather, didn't dare to be—he had never been a simp himself.
But he still hated simps!
After all, the price of "B" in his previous life was inflated almost entirely by them!
---
However, after discovering Flanders' confession to Liu Erlong, Su Mo wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Because after that, Flanders would start acting like a helpful teammate, just like those green-haired cuckolds in those betrayal stories, doing everything to pair Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang together.
Su Mo was very interested in witnessing the entire process and everything that would follow.
While watching from the shadows,
Flanders never confessed his love to Liu Erlong. He sincerely kept his promise and began looking for Yu Xiaogang, actively trying to match him with Liu Erlong.
When Yu Xiaogang learned that Liu Erlong genuinely liked him, he was surprised at first and hesitated about whether to accept her feelings.
At this, Flanders earnestly and repeatedly persuaded Yu Xiaogang to consider it.
But in the shadows, Su Mo wanted to laugh at Yu Xiaogang's performance.
What an act!
In the original story, Yu Xiaogang had a deep relationship with Bibi Dong. Even after Bibi Dong broke up with him, he always pretended to be cold and melancholic.
But even so, this guy fell for Liu Erlong quickly and married her directly.
Is this what it means to be hurt by love?
Because of Su Mo's influence, the harm Yu Xiaogang suffered at the Spirit Hall this time was even more painful! Su Mo believed that Yu Xiaogang's hatred for the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong had grown even deeper.
Now he was still pretending to be stuck in the past. Wasn't that just a show?!
But Yu Xiaogang's performance really worked.
As he pretended to be unwilling to move on, always looking sad and distracted, as if haunted by the pain he suffered in the Spirit Hall...
This made Liu Erlong begin to hate the Spirit Hall, cursing it in front of Flanders for hurting her beloved Xiaogang.
And since the goddess disliked the Spirit Hall, Flanders naturally began to dislike it too.
In short, even if he liked it, he had to dislike it!
---
However, after Flanders' repeated heartfelt persuasion, perhaps realizing Liu Erlong's sincerity,
Yu Xiaogang finally accepted Liu Erlong and put on a melancholic, fragile look, as if deeply scarred by his past love.
Originally, in that emotional atmosphere, the two embraced.
But unfortunately, Su Mo was there.
At the critical moment, Su Mo controlled the cat and had it swipe Yu Xiaogang with its claws, immediately ruining the romantic and sad atmosphere.
Even so, once Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang confirmed their relationship, their feelings quickly deepened.
Although Su Mo deliberately used the cat to disrupt things, they never even held hands from beginning to end.
But when the time finally came to talk about marriage, Liu Erlong, a little embarrassed, asked Yu Xiaogang to be patient.
When they got married, she would give the cat, Heiqiu, to her big brother Flanders, and let him take care of it. On their wedding night, she would give herself fully to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang was naturally thrilled, but he still put on a moved expression, saying that he didn't mind and that he liked Heiqiu the cat too.
He said he had caught it to protect Liu Erlong and would love it just like its owner!
Liu Erlong was also touched by Yu Xiaogang's words.
Now that they were talking about marriage, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong naturally set a date and asked Flanders (laughing) to help with preparations, write the invitations, and invite their relatives.
Yu Xiaogang, for his part, didn't want to reveal his identity, which he felt was too humiliating, so he lied, saying he had no family.
However, after hesitating for a long time, Liu Erlong decided to send an invitation to her father, Yu Luomian.
And since she asked Flanders to find someone to deliver it, Yu Xiaogang had no idea that the invitation Liu Erlong was sending to her father was actually going to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
But this invitation... would make Yu Xiaogang immensely happy—and immensely miserable in the future.
It would cause him to fall from the proudest peak of his life to the deepest abyss in an instant!
