Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 399 Yu Xiaogang's Anger

Thinking of this, Dai Chengfeng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly reached out and gently put his arm around Liu Erlong's shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.

"What...what are you going to do..."

As Liu Erlong felt Dai Chengfeng's movements, her body stiffened instantly, and she instinctively tried to break free.

"Don't hold back..."

But then, Dai Chengfeng's voice rang out above her head, deep and gentle.

With his other hand, he gently patted Liu Erlong's back, as if comforting an injured child.

"If you want to cry, then cry it all out. With me, you don't have to force yourself or pretend."

"Just cry out all your grievances and sadness."

Liu Erlong stopped struggling. At this moment, she felt the warmth in Dai Chengfeng's arms, which gave her a sense of inexplicable peace and strength.

Dai Chengfeng's perfectly timed words and actions of reassurance completely shattered Liu Erlong's last hesitation.

The blow of shattered hopes and the unspeakable grievances overwhelmed her like a flood bursting its banks.

Liu Erlong stopped struggling completely, her body went limp, and she buried her face deeply in Dai Chengfeng's arms. Her hands unconsciously gripped the fabric of his clothes tightly, and she sobbed softly, her tears wetting his chest.

At this moment, at the half-closed gate of the villa.

With Yu Tianheng's support, Yu Xiaogang finally staggered to the door.

His face was deathly pale, and a trace of blood lingered at the corner of his mouth. Yet, he was about to call out Liu Erlong's name, wanting to explain to her...

But the next second, all his voice suddenly choked deep in his throat, and his pupils contracted to their maximum size.

What did he see?
Deep in the courtyard, beside the white jade pavilion.

The woman he had been longing to find, the one he thought would always be waiting for him, Liu Erlong, was now being held tightly and tenderly in the arms of Dai Chengfeng, the man he considered his lifelong shame!
Dai Chengfeng tilted his head slightly, his chin gently resting on the top of Liu Erlong's head, his handsome face filled with tenderness and pity.

Liu Erlong nestled in Dai Chengfeng's arms, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Although Yu Xiaogang couldn't see Liu Erlong's expression because she was facing away from the door, this intimate and comforting scene spoke louder than a thousand words.

Like the sharpest ice pick, it pierced Yu Xiaogang's heart.

Does this even need asking?

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb, frozen in place. The last glimmer of hope, like a candle extinguished by cold water, was completely extinguished in his utterly devastated eyes.

"...Erlong?"

Yu Xiaogang's chapped lips trembled, emitting a hoarse sound that was almost inaudible.

"You really...you're...with him?"

Yu Tianheng could clearly feel the violent trembling of Yu Xiaogang's body beside him.

"uncle……"

Yu Tianheng's voice was deep and resonant. At that moment, he was practically supporting the swaying Yu Xiaogang.

"Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, you should believe it, right? Your aunt really is with Dai Chengfeng...."

"let's go."

"Walk?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot. Besides disbelief and shock, his eyes were filled with overwhelming rage at being betrayed by Liu Erlong.

His previous weak and pale appearance was replaced by a ferocious resentment. "You're just letting me leave like this?!"

"Look at them! Look at them!"

Yu Xiaogang pointed at Dai Chengfeng and Liu Erlong in the courtyard, his voice hoarse and cracked from excitement and weakness.

"Liu Erlong! How could she... how could she just throw herself into Dai Chengfeng's arms like that!"

"You bitch! She should have been waiting for me! She should have listened to my explanation! But here she is... with that bastard Dai Chengfeng!"

"What right does he have?!" Yu Tianheng frowned as he looked at his uncle Yu Xiaogang's mental state.

"Sigh... Uncle is just like I was back then, unwilling to believe it."

Thinking this, Yu Tianheng used even more force, almost forcibly dragging Yu Xiaogang around and away from the door, shutting out the heartbreaking scene in the courtyard, wanting Yu Xiaogang to be out of sight and out of mind.

At the same time, he comforted him, saying, "Uncle! Things have come to this point; continuing to watch will only bring further humiliation!"

"To bring shame upon oneself...?"

Yu Xiaogang's last gaze was fixed on the crack in the door, on the back of Dai Chengfeng gently embracing Liu Erlong. The anger burning in his eyes almost materialized, yet it shattered deep within into endless pain and despair.

"Liu Erlong...Dai Chengfeng..."

After a long silence, he squeezed out the two names between his teeth, his voice filled with deep resentment and bitterness.

But in the end, all his strength seemed to have been drained away. He stopped struggling and let Yu Tianheng take him away from this place where his dreams had been completely shattered. Only the shadow in his eyes, mixed with anger and despair, grew thicker and thicker.

"You two despicable women will regret this, you definitely will! No one who betrays me, Yu Xiaogang, will have a good end!"

"I swear!!!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly, blood staining his palms, his eyes filled with malice, and he muttered silently.

In another courtyard.

As Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng gradually disappeared into the distance, Dai Chengfeng's lips curled into a cold smile. "How about it, Yu Xiaogang? Wasn't I helpful enough?!"

Until Yu Xiaogang's figure completely disappeared.

Dai Chengfeng then suppressed his smile, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Liu Erlong, who was still trembling slightly and sobbing softly in his arms. He loosened his grip slightly, no longer embracing her completely, but gently supporting her arms and pulling her slightly away from his chest.

Liu Erlong's eyes were blurry with tears. Feeling the distance in her embrace, she subconsciously raised her face.

That once dashing face was now streaked with tears, her eyes red-rimmed, making her appear fragile and lost.

"feel better now?"

Dai Chengfeng's voice remained deep and gentle. He helped her sit down on the white jade bench beside him, while he half-squatted in front of her.

Liu Erlong nodded, trying to calm his surging emotions.

After a long while, she said in a low voice with a heavy nasal tone, "Thank you, Dai Chengfeng... I... I lost my composure."

"It doesn't matter."

Dai Chengfeng shook his head slightly, his tone tolerant, "It's much better to be able to cry than to keep it bottled up inside."

The courtyard fell silent for a moment, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and Liu Erlong's occasional sobs.

Dai Chengfeng waited quietly for a moment, and seeing that her emotions had calmed down, he spoke softly as if casually: "That 'Soul Shaping Pill'... You sought it so urgently before, even at the cost of something, just for... that person?"

Liu Erlong's body trembled almost imperceptibly again.

She remained silent for a long time, then slowly nodded in acknowledgment.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"You gave it to him?"

Dai Chengfeng continued to ask, his tone flat and revealing no emotion.

"Give it."

Liu Erlong's voice was soft, but it carried a sense of relief and exhaustion, as well as a hint of determination, "I gave it to him not long ago."

"From now on... my grudges and debts to him are settled, and we owe each other nothing."
