CH 93: Dugu Bo

Zhuqing nodded with a serious expression and a determinated look :"don't worry, sister Erlong, I will definitely work hard. I won't be a burden and will also help protect each other."

We both chuckled as Erlong knocked on her head gently :"silly girl, don't worry. It's good that you work hard, but also don't forget to enjoy life."

And after she said that, we started to walk around again with a better mood as Zhuqing let out all that pain that she had hidden in her heart.

Because of the genuine care that Erlong showed, we also got a lot closer since we became a small family.

Zhuqing told her then as to how and why she left that place and was about to get assassinated by the people that her sister had sent.

But I appeared and saved her life. She then went on about how we continued our journey together since we had the same destination and way.

Then our test against teacher Zhao, the training that Flender forced us to go through, you know, eating Oscar's sausages where Erlong laughed at.

She was specially surprised then when she found our we had martial soul fusion skill and 100% soul harmonization on top of that.

She told her how I sacrificed 2 whole level to get her to level 30 and evolved her martial soul and didn't even get angry, which caused Erlong to smile approvingly at me and nod with a satisfied smile.

She then went on about our visit to the star dou forest and how I deemed that her body was strong enough to absorb a 5 thousand year soul ring.

Erlong got a little angry then and scolded me on how that is very dangerous and might've turned out badly.

But calmed down after Zhuqing telling her that I would never harm her. She then went on and on about the events of what happened on Shrek and our training.

After having a really long conversation, the sun had already set and it had become night, so Erlong said that we can talk more later on and enjoy the feast for now.

But as we returned, we saw Yu Xiaogang on a small bridge, telling San'qe about what happened 20 years ago.

Basically, it was like the original, he got kicked out of the clan that actually cared only for his martial soul rather than himself and how he met Flender.

Then on their journey in the soul master world, they saw a young lady who was searching for the love of her life in the world, me.

They became companions from then on and became good friends. As they continued their journey with their own intentions but together,

they created the golden iron triangle and the two young men fell in love with the young Erlong.

They both knew just how deep she was in love with me and that she was searching everywhere for me, so they tried to hide their feelings.

But the more the feelings are hidden, the more they want to come out. In the end, Flender tried his chances and confessed his feelings for her.

But as they had anticipated, she rejected him, saying that I was the only one for her. Flender was a good man and continued to stay friends with her, but Yu Xiaogang's feeling were still there.

Dean Flender and Erlong were the only people who had cared for him after all, so his feelings for the young girl were very deep.

In the end, he chose to try his chances as well, but when he was confessing them, an uninvited guest showed up.

His second uncle, the second owner of the lightning T-Rex. Turned out that the girl that he was so deeply in love with was actually his cousin.

The sad truth broke his heart, and then he ran away. Erlong wasn't in love with him, but still wanted to help her long time friend who she had seen as a brother.

But her father stopped her, not letting her get close that trash. He said how sad, broken and disheartened he was, and how much he wanted to end his life.

But Flender stopped him. He later on ran and hid away from her, not wanting to see his first love ever again.

But fate brought them here, and he saw her again. And not just that, he also found out the person who he was so much in love with, was actually looking for the brother of his own disciple all along.

San'qe was really shocked at the story of how much the love experience had hurt his master, but then went on and talked about how one should move on from the pain and find a new life.

We stood there and listened to it all as me and Zhuqing looked at the slightly sad Erlong with fondness in our eyes as I grabbed her by the waist and side hugged her :"thank you, Erlong, for waiting for me."

She gave a small chuckle as she leaned onto me with a smile :"you're welcome. I suppose you haven't heard it yet, but I will always be yours."

I kissed the top of her as I closed my eyes :"and I promise that I will never let you go. Even if you aren't my only lover, you will always be my Erlong. I will love you and your sister wives with all my heart in the future."

She hugged my waist as well as she hummed :"you have promised, and I know that you don't go back on your honest promises.

You promised that you will return to me, and you have. So I know that you will keep this promise as well."

"Aww~." As we looked at Zhuqing, we saw her looking at us with gentle and loving eyes before I pulled her into a hug too.

She squealed lowly before both of them broke into a fit of giggles. I then gave them a little space while not letting go of them as I looked at Erlong with a smug smile :"so what else have I promised you? I'm really curious."

She chuckled before rolling her eyes with amusement and putting her finger on my lips :"you have said, if an incident happens, you will definitely have an intention if it effects you. And that if you want to escape, not even the gods can stop you."

A signature smirk took over my face as I looked at her with complete confidence :"remember both of those, cause those are not bluffs. Whatever happens, always believe in me."

They both had a bewildered look before they nodded and answered :"alright, we believe in you. Always will."

Erlong got out of my embrace as she grabbed Zhuqing's hand and led her away from another way that Yu Xiaogang was :"alright, the food will get cold if we don't go back."

She stopped as they looked back :"coming along?" I was just mesmerized for a moment as I stared at the blinding view of the two beauties that the moonlight illuminated.

I gulped as I nodded with a sweet smile :"you two go back, I want to speak with San'qe for a moment. I really miss him suddenly."

They both shook their heads in amusement as Erlong sighed :"sigh, you and your mood swings. Fine, we will go and eat, you spend some time with your brother."

After San'qe gave some comfort to Yu Xiaogang who seemed better than before, but still, sad, he walked away after Yu Xiaogang told him he needed some alone time. Wow, that pregnancy mood swings are taking an effect, huh, hahaha.

I jumped from the lake without alerting Yu Xiaogang as I walked towards San'qe. I didn't hide my footsteps, so he looked back and smiled when he saw me :"oh, Xiao Ali, Hey. What are you doing?"

I chuckled with my hands behind my head :"nothing, just taking a walk after me, Erlong and Zhuqing had a deep conversation."

A slightly sad expression took over his face before he hid it away and smiled at me as we slowly walked :"oh? So how did it go?"

I just smiled back at how he didn't want to ruin my good mood :"it was definitely good. My suspicion was right, Erlong was really familiar with me.

She and Zhuqing also got along and became really good sisters after Zhuqing introduced herself and told her about our adventures. They walked towards the cafeteria together now. Really, the best outcome I could hope for."

He nodded and patted my back with a nod :"well, I'm happy to hear that. I wouldn't want to see you lose your lover or anything, so I'm glad that your happy."

Man~, this makes me feel bad for doing that to Xiao Wu. Let's try to help this dense idiot at least :"hey, San'qe, what about you and Xiao Wu?"

He was surprised at my sudden question as he looked at me with confusion :"what? What about me and her, Xiao Ali?"

I sighed as I looked at him with a little seriousness, but still mostly nonchalant :"you shouldn't let the chances that appear in your life get out of your hand, San'qe.

That's why I never hide my feelings and emotions. Think about it and tell me, do you really think of Xiao Wu as just a younger sister?"

The dull idiot didn't even think about it before he nodded seriously :"yes, Xiao Wu is and will always be my younger sister."

I looked into his eyes as I stopped :"then tell me, would you still be able to stand aside if he wanted to get together with another man? If she wanted to marry someone?"

He had a look of shock as an almost fearful face formed on his face :"I...-" but just when he was about to answer, we both felt a presence and freezing feeling.

He quickly took out his daggers from his sides as I got into a fighting stance. this was what I was looking for anyway, so I didn't bother putting up a fight.

As we stood back to back while shaking because of the freezing feeling that definitely wasn't because of the weather nor the normal cold, a shadow appeared at our side before me and San'qe attacked it. And that was the last thing I saw before passing out.

-

As I woke up, I heard the hissing of multiple snakes around me and some even moving on me, but I didn't get up.

Though a voice came before green lights turned on :"stop pretending if you're awake." I opened my eyes as I saw San'qe at a corner of what seemed to be a cave.

We nodded at each other, indicating that we're both alright before I sat and looked at who brought us here.

<I'm going with the manga looks but anime clothes>

When I looked up, I saw a middle aged man with light green hair and a red mark on his forehead.

He wore scaly, armor like clothes that fitted his slim body completely :"kid, you're Tang San?"

San'qe nodded with a serious face as he held his side :"yes, I am." He walked with his hands behind him while ignoring me, guess he didn't have anything to do with me :"I heard that you broke my granddaughter's 3rd soul skill. How did you cure the venom? I believe this something else other than liquor."

But instead of just telling him, San'qe made fun of him :"how dare you call yourself poison douluo if you don't know realqar powder can cure snake venom?"

Are you stupid? This is a titled douluo, you know? But thankfully, he didn't just decide to kill San'qe :"it has been years since someone talked to me that way. Kid, you're bold! How dare you suspect my poison?"

But San'qe seemed to want to get us killed as he smirked mockingly at him :"hmph, your poison is mere rubbish."
