Chapter 77: Liu Erlong's Rebirth Scene: Yu Xiaogang's Betrayal, Liu Erlong Heartbroken! (4)
Yu Xiaogang actually hesitated!
This filled Liu Erlong's eyes with disappointment.
Although Yu Xiaogang had not yet made a decision, his hesitation alone was proof that, deep down, he was not a true lover and did not truly love her.
Liu Erlong had already harbored doubts and cracks in her heart regarding Yu Xiaogang.
It was only because of their past relationship and the sunk cost of waiting ten years, along with Yu Xiaogang's constant cover-ups and efforts to make her believe in him.
In the end, Liu Erlong softened and did not pursue Yu Xiaogang's deceit.
But she never expected that she was still too foolish and naive!
What Pope Bibi Dong said was really true!
Yu Xiaogang had approached Bibi Dong from the beginning with deliberate calculation.
Even if his approach to her hadn't been entirely calculated, there were certainly no true feelings involved.
But it was also true that it was she who had taken the initiative to pursue him...
Thinking about this, Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel some self-blame.
In a relationship, if one side is too proactive, even if they eventually end up together, that love is definitely not true love!
True love only happens when both people run toward each other from opposite directions!
For a moment, Liu Erlong couldn't help but think of Su Mo, and she felt deeply guilty and regretful.
From the beginning, she should not have hurt her brother Su Mo or pushed him away just because of Yu Xiaogang's one-sided words!
All of this was her fault!
She had, in fact, driven away the person who might truly love her for someone so hypocritical and shameless!
Thinking back, to avoid shame, her brother Su Mo had taken the initiative to endure insults from Yu Xiaogang and silently walked away.
Liu Erlong felt heartbroken.
Obviously, with Su Mo's strength, he wouldn't have needed to take Yu Xiaogang seriously.
But because of her, her brother Su Mo had suffered so much.
The more Liu Erlong thought about it, the more devastated she felt.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang also realized that Liu Erlong's feelings for him may have already faded greatly after Bibi Dong exposed his true nature.
Now, his hesitation between Liu Erlong and his disciple Tang San might have truly broken her heart.
"I'm sorry, Third Sister."
After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Xiaogang's face was uncertain for a moment, until he finally took a deep breath and made a decision—
He chose his disciple Tang San!
Compared to Liu Erlong, his third sister, the disciple Tang San was more important to him!
Although this decision was cruel, if given the choice, Yu Xiaogang still wanted to choose Liu Erlong.
But with no other options, he could only choose Tang San.
Because his dream was to prove his worth, and at this moment, Liu Erlong could no longer help him with that.
In the past, she did everything she could, but now, probably not.
So, he no longer needed to hesitate and chose Tang San directly.
"I choose disciple Tang San!"
After deciding in his heart, Yu Xiaogang immediately looked up and told Bibi Dong his decision with regret.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh mockingly and said to Liu Erlong with sarcasm:
"See? Did I lie to you before? In the heart of this hypocritical and shameless man, the only thing that matters is proving his own worth."
"For that, he would give up everything—just like when he schemed to get close to me and use me. You are more useful to him as a tool than as a feeling."
"If you were more valuable to him than Tang San, he would undoubtedly choose you."
"But unfortunately for you, Tang San is now the most important person to him, because Tang San can help him achieve his dream and prove his value."
"So in the end, he didn't choose you—he chose Tang San!"
Faced with Bibi Dong's sarcasm, Liu Erlong fell silent.
Even though she had already guessed it,
at that moment, she still felt a deep sense of betrayal and pain in her heart.
Even though she no longer trusted Yu Xiaogang that much,
her feelings for him were real!
Almost ten years of waiting—the best years of a woman's youth—she had spent waiting for Yu Xiaogang.
Even knowing that they were cousins, she never abandoned the relationship.
But she never expected that the love she gave everything for would end like this!
With deep sorrow and pain in her heart, Liu Erlong no longer resisted.
She only wanted to be captured by the Spirit Hall and executed.
She no longer wanted to remain in this world.
On the other hand, when he saw that Yu Xiaogang had chosen Tang San, Flender was so furious that he wanted to fight him.
But Bibi Dong stopped him.
The game she played with Yu Xiaogang was real.
Its purpose was for Yu Xiaogang to be abandoned by everyone. The game had only just begun—it wasn't over yet.
How could she let Flender hurt Yu Xiaogang?
After choosing Tang San, Yu Xiaogang gave up entirely, shedding his hypocritical mask; in other words, for the sake of his dream, he decided to abandon everything—love, friendship, everything.
So, Yu Xiaogang no longer cared about Flender and instead looked up coldly at Bibi Dong and asked, "Can I take Tang San?"
Of course, Bibi Dong nodded with a faint smile.
Then Yu Xiaogang took Tang San and Xiao Wu, preparing to head to the core of the Star Dou Great Forest to seek protection from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.
As Yu Xiaogang had given up Liu Erlong, Flender was enraged and naturally did not follow him.
Zhao Wuji, in the same situation as Flender, also stayed behind.
However, after Yu Xiaogang made his decision and left,
Bibi Dong ordered someone to execute Liu Erlong, as had been previously decided.
Like a loyal dog, Flender begged in various ways—even kneeling and pleading for mercy—saying he would serve the Spirit Hall like a dog, just asking Bibi Dong to spare Liu Erlong.
But Bibi Dong remained indifferent and had no intention of replying at all.
However, just as the Spirit Hall's spirit master was about to execute Liu Erlong, Su Mo suddenly appeared and pleaded with Bibi Dong to spare her.
This enraged Bibi Dong, who said that since Su Mo dared to interfere, she would kill him too.
But Su Mo remained calm.
Liu Erlong, who had initially given up, was deeply moved when she saw Su Mo risking everything to plead for her!
The feelings she had suppressed for Su Mo because of Yu Xiaogang suddenly erupted!
In the end, Bibi Dong didn't kill Su Mo but instead spoke with anger and frustration.
She could spare Liu Erlong, but the price was that Su Mo had to receive 100 lashes without using his soul power.
Su Mo, of course, agreed. In front of Liu Erlong, he took off the top of his clothing and turned his back to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong lashed him 100 times with a Spider Silk Whip.
His entire upper body was covered in blood.
After Su Mo accepted the punishment, Liu Erlong was finally freed.
Then, Liu Erlong burst into tears and threw herself into Su Mo's arms.
From then on, her relationship with Su Mo developed rapidly.
During this time, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang ultimately failed to escape the Spirit Hall's pursuit and died tragically on the run.
Xiao Wu was also captured and brought back to the Spirit Hall.
But Liu Erlong didn't care at all.
She was someone extremely sincere. When she liked Yu Xiaogang, she loved him unconditionally and didn't care about anything—not even the fact they were cousins.
And now that she liked Su Mo, she gave herself to him completely without worrying about anything else.
However, being with Su Mo was easy—becoming his wife was not.
Because she wasn't the only one who admired him. In the Spirit Hall, even Pope Bibi Dong, her goddaughter Qian Renxue, and disciple Hu Liena all admired him!
The competition was truly intense!
In the end, Liu Erlong failed to compete with Bibi Dong, who became Su Mo's first wife.
On the day Su Mo ascended the throne as Pope and married Bibi Dong,
Liu Erlong fell asleep in envy and woke up...
Wait... Where is this place?
As she opened her eyes and saw the strange yet familiar surroundings, the festive red sheets beneath her, and the celebratory quilt covering her, Liu Erlong was filled with shock.
