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

Chapter 413 Men should like men!

In another courtyard.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's staggering figure outside the gate, Liu Erlong's heart skipped a beat.

Years of pent-up emotions surged up instantly, and the rationality that had been obscured by anger gradually returned.

She stared at her hand in disbelief. She never imagined that she would one day injure Yu Xiaogang...

Thinking about it, Liu Erlong's lips moved, almost blurting out that she wanted to call out to him, to call out to Yu Xiaogang, and to ask him how badly he was injured.

However, just as this softness was about to gain the upper hand, the red light in Liu Erlong's eyes flashed again.

In an instant, the budding regret and heartache were swallowed up by a more surging anger and sense of betrayal!

I asked him to come back? And then what?
To continue being used by him, despised by him, and treated as a tool that he can freely demand elixirs from?
No! no way!

Liu Erlong clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She turned around abruptly and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, completely shutting out Yu Xiaogang's disheveled figure.

She leaned against the door, breathing heavily, her eyes flashing red...

On the road.

Yu Xiaogang staggered down the deserted street, clutching his still aching chest, his heart filled with resentment and hatred towards Liu Erlong.

"That bitch! That crazy woman! She actually did that to me!"

He cursed under his breath, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the Soul-Shaping Pill.

"As far as I know, Liu Erlong is not proficient in alchemy, and she has not studied alchemy in recent years. So where did she get such a precious Soul Shaping Pill?"

"The most likely candidate is the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire—Dai Chengfeng!"

"That's it, it must have been Dai Chengfeng who gave it to her! I'll use this pill as 'breakup fee' to get rid of her completely!"

Yu Xiaogang thought about it more and more and it seemed reasonable. Soon, he remembered the news he had heard from his nephew, Yu Tianheng...

"Dai Chengfeng would come to the villa to see Liu Erlong almost every morning..."

Soon, an idea gradually took shape in his mind.

Although Yu Xiaogang was still extremely unwilling to face the boy who filled him with fear and humiliation, for Tang Hao's sake, and to get the elixir to make Tang Hao happy...

Finally, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Done!"

Yu Xiaogang didn't go far, but found a secluded corner on a street not far from Liu Erlong's villa and curled up there.

He would wait until the next morning, until Dai Chengfeng appeared!
Time passed slowly amidst the cold and pain. Yu Xiaogang was cold and hungry, his chest ached, and his consciousness was becoming blurred. He was sustained only by a twisted obsession.

Finally, the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

As dawn breaks and a gentle breeze caresses the willows.

The city's silence was broken by the hustle and bustle of the morning light, and at the same time, a clear and steady sound of footsteps approached from afar.

"Ok?"

Instantly, Yu Xiaogang, who was half asleep, was jolted awake by the sound of footsteps and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the dim morning light, a tall, handsome young man dressed in a white robe with gold trim walked slowly towards them.

The morning light seemed to coat him with a soft golden glow, and his innate noble temperament and composed demeanor made Yu Xiaogang, who was huddled in the corner in a disheveled state, feel ashamed of himself.

For a moment, Yu Xiaogang was so engrossed in watching that he was almost lost in thought.

He even absurdly felt that Dai Chengfeng was so dazzling at this moment that he couldn't take his eyes off him, and was many times more handsome than the irritable Liu Erlong from last night.

Men should like this kind of guy...

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Yu Xiaogang quickly shook his head vigorously.

After all, Dai Chengfeng was his enemy!

Was it the enemy who stole Liu Erlong and humiliated him, or was Tang Hao better—muscular and possessing a manly melancholy…?

However, just as he was lost in thought and Dai Chengfeng was about to walk past him, Yu Xiaogang finally snapped out of it. "Stop!"

He suddenly rushed out from the corner and blocked his way.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the shouts, Dai Chengfeng instinctively stopped and looked at Yu Xiaogang, whose clothes were slightly disheveled, whose face was pale and who still had traces of blood on his face. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He never expected to see Yu Xiaogang here, and that Yu Xiaogang would actually have the courage to... take the initiative to appear in front of him?!
"Master Yu Xiaogang?"

Dai Chengfeng's lips curled into a cold smile. "What a rare guest. You actually dare to show your face in front of me?"

"What, was the lesson you learned in Notting City last time not severe enough? Do you want to experience it again?"

When Yu Xiaogang heard Dai Chengfeng mention the humiliation from last time, his cheeks burned instantly, and a sense of humiliation surged into his heart, making him almost want to turn around immediately.

But the thought of Tang Hao possibly showing disappointment made him hold back.

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, forcing himself to look directly into Dai Chengfeng's deep, heterochromatic golden-blue eyes that seemed to see right through people, and retorted with a fierce but weak voice:
"Dai Chengfeng! Don't be so arrogant!"

"In the competition in half a month, you will inevitably lose to the mistress, and you will regret your arrogance today!"

"The disciples taught by me, Yu Xiaogang, are the most outstanding!"

"Oh? The most outstanding disciple? Tang San?"

Dai Chengfeng smiled contemptuously, as if looking at a clown trying to attract attention. "Heh, then I'll really... wait and see."

He was too lazy to waste time on this pointless argument, and his tone turned cold:
"You blocked my way just to say this?"

"Now I understand. Let's see how it goes in two weeks! If there's nothing else, get out of here."

Looking at Dai Chengfeng's extremely indifferent expression, seemingly not taking his provocation to heart at all, Yu Xiaogang felt a sudden, futile sense of powerlessness, as if his full-force punch had hit cotton, causing Yu Xiaogang's face to turn bright red.

He didn't want to see Dai Chengfeng again, but then he thought about his purpose.

Finally, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, suppressed the humiliation in his heart, and revealed his true purpose:

"Wait! I...I have something else to do!"

"Speak," Dai Chengfeng said indifferently, with a hint of impatience.

"Soul-Shaping Pill... The Soul-Shaping Pill that Liu Erlong gave me, was it given to her by you?"

Yu Xiaogang stared intently at Dai Chengfeng, "I need another Soul Shaping Pill!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng's heart stirred.

Soul-Shaping Pill? Yu Xiaogang wants another one?
The Soul-Sculpting Pill has special effects and is not an ordinary consumable. It has extremely strong drug resistance. One person can take one pill for several years or even a lifetime. Taking more does not have much benefit and is not addictive.

Yu Xiaogang had personally taken it, so it's impossible that he didn't know this.

"If that's the case, why is he so eager, even going so far as to abandon his dignity and stop me early in the morning just to ask for a second Soul Shaping Pill..."

"Tang San?!"

Thinking of this, Dai Chengfeng's lips curled into a barely perceptible, amused smile.

"interesting!"

Thinking this to himself, Dai Chengfeng maintained a cold demeanor on the surface: "Soul-Shaping Pill? You think it's like a cabbage by the roadside? No way."

Seeing Dai Chengfeng's decisive refusal, Yu Xiaogang became anxious, "Dai Chengfeng! Don't be so arbitrary!"

Yu Xiaogang lowered his voice, with a strange sense of "confidence," "You should know how much I mean to Liu Erlong! Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked Liu Erlong to use such a precious pill to 'make up' for me, and you wouldn't be so eager to distance yourself from me, would you?"

He paused, then offered what he thought was an enticing bargain: "Here's what we'll do! If you promise to give me another Soul Shaping Pill, I... I can help you!"

"I'll help you completely win over Liu Erlong and make her utterly devoted to you!"

"how?"
