Chapter 58 The Divine Craftsman's Tower
Tiandou City, Tianxing Hotel.
Inside the room, seeing that the doctor had finished treating Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong couldn't help but move closer.
She first looked at Yu Xiaogang with a guilty expression, then asked the doctor, "How is it? Is Xiaogang's back alright?"
The doctor shook his head regretfully. "Who could have done this? What deep-seated hatred could have led to such an attack? Several of his ribs were broken. Even with my treatment, he won't fully recover in a month or two."
Liu Erlong: "..."
Yu Xiaogang looked utterly dejected; this was a complete disgrace.
All I did was have a low soul power, so how did a woman break my ribs?
If this gets out, he'll probably become a laughingstock in the entire Soul Master world.
The Soul Master world: ...You've been one all along!
"Ahem, let's get the doctor out of here first," Flander said, trying to smooth things over.
Soon, after seeing the doctor off, the Shrek members also left the room.
Because it was obvious that Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong had something to say to each other.
Having not seen each other for many years, Liu Erlong was deeply moved, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Xiaogang, you've finally stopped avoiding me. You're willing to accept me now."
Yu Xiaogang also cried, but not from emotion, but from pain.
Didn't you hear what the doctor said? He still has to stay in bed for two more months!
Fortunately, it was only two months. If it had been any longer, he would have missed the important task of defeating Kuiba.
"Second, Second Dragon, I've thought about this a lot these days. It was my fault back then; I shouldn't have abandoned you," Yu Xiaogang said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong smiled, a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.
Before she could speak, Yu Xiaogang continued, "But we can't disregard etiquette. You're my cousin, I can't..."
"No! I don't acknowledge Yu Luomian as my father. I... I'm not your sister, no, I'm your lover!" Liu Erlong said.
Yu Xiaogang sighed softly, "Erlong, blood is thicker than water. No matter how much you deny it, your second uncle is still your father. We...it's impossible."
"Then why did you write to me?" Liu Erlong's temper flared faster than turning the pages of a book.
As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
One second they're all smiles to you, the next they'll turn on you completely.
Regarding this point, one can refer to Zhu Zhuyun's case from back then.
Yu Xiaogang gave a wry smile: "I would like to invite you to join the Justice League and work together to achieve great things."
"I don't care about any of that, I just want you." Liu Erlong's eyes turned angry, but there were still tears welling up in them.
She never expected that after waiting for so many years, all she would get was a promise to work together to achieve great things.
What was the point of her waiting all these years?
"If you want to make a name for yourself, then go do it yourself. Why are you looking for me? Say something!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang remain silent, Liu Erlong roared.
Yu Xiaogang said matter-of-factly, "This is an unprecedented decisive battle. You know that my soul power is low and I need someone to protect me so that I can fully utilize my wisdom."
Liu Erlong was taken aback: "You came to me just to have me be your bodyguard?"
"Yes, Erlong, don't you want to?"
Yu Xiaogang felt that Liu Erlong had changed; she was actually hesitant.
Shouldn't she agree immediately the moment I ask?
Fun fact: In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang was afraid that Bibi Dong would be a threat to him, so he had Liu Erlong protect him closely!
This is the epitome of someone who lives off a woman's money.
Liu Erlong said with a stern face, "I heard from Flander that you're going to be Bibi Dong's military advisor. With such a highly skilled girlfriend protecting you, why would you need me?"
"Erlong, you're insulting my character!" Yu Xiaogang stood up straight and said, "It's over between us. Now we're only going to fight Kuiba together, there's absolutely nothing else between us!"
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang secretly made a mental note of it.
You, Flander, actually told Erlong about this? Are you afraid that you and Erlong will rekindle your relationship?
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Liu Erlong realized that the other party was really angry, so he immediately lowered his head and apologized.
That's the charm of a "master"—the women around him always seem to suffer a mental blow.
Yu Xiaogang softened his tone and said, "She is her, and I am me. We are completely over, so why would I care about her protection?"
"But you're different, Erlong. Putting aside the past, we're still siblings. We're family."
"But I don't want to be your sister," Liu Erlong said.
"I know I owe you an explanation. How about this, after the battle against Kuiba is over, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation, okay?"
Liu Erlong frowned and remained silent.
Yu Xiaogang said with a stern face, "You are selfish. The campaign against Kuiba is for the sake of all the Soul Masters in the world. How can you give up for your own selfish interests? If that's the case, you've disappointed me too much."
"I... okay! Xiaogang, I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you'll give me a satisfactory explanation afterward."
Liu Erlong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Don't worry, I keep my word."
*
One month later, in the City of Slaughter.
Zhu Zhuyun has finally returned. Not only has she returned, but she has also brought an old man with her.
Upon receiving the news, Yun Sha had already been waiting at the city gate with her men.
"You're back!"
"Has Huanming returned yet?"
Upon seeing each other for the first time, the two women spoke at the same time.
Yun Sha was taken aback. "No, he's still on Hell Road and there's no news."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded slightly and pointed to the old man beside her, saying, "This is the master craftsman."
"Greetings, senior." Yun Sha first bowed in greeting, then looked at Zhu Zhuyun: "You must have suffered a lot to accomplish this."
Actually, you don't even need to ask; you can tell just by looking at the appearance.
When Zhu Zhuyun set off, her clothes were clean and she looked dashing.
But now he has returned with disheveled hair and a wound on his shoulder.
"It's alright, let's go in first."
Lou Gao chuckled and said, "This little girl is no ordinary person! She fought against dozens of Soul Masters all by herself and managed to break through the encirclement... Let's go, I can't wait!"
Yun Sha smiled politely, "Senior, you must be tired from your journey. Wouldn't you like to rest for a bit?"
"What rest?! Getting this done is the important thing. By the way, are all the materials ready?" Lou Gao's eyes flashed with madness.
In essence, Lou Gao is a blacksmith, but in another sense, he is also an artist.
At his level, very few things can move him anymore.
Conversely, if you manage to move him, his attitude will become frantic.
Those who play with art all have a bit of a tendency toward eccentricity to some extent.
Yun Sha nodded, "Of course, all the materials are ready, we're just waiting for you, senior."
"Alright, alright, let's go quickly. I'm confident I can get it done within two months!"
After saying that, Lou Gao took the lead and entered the City of Slaughter first.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the owner of the house.
