Chapter 105: What Liu Erlong Did to Win Over Yu Xiaogang

Heaven Dou City was bustling and grand, with streets paved in blue stone, each as wide as the main roads in Suotuo City. Only the word "majestic" could describe this city.

"We've arrived," Tang Yuehua announced as they stopped in front of a white marble archway. The entrance stood ten meters tall, inscribed with eight gilded characters: Blue Tyrant Advanced Academy!

Leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, led by Tang Yuehua, Mu Chen, Flender, and the others finally reached this academy.

"Blue Tyrant?" Flender repeated, a familiar figure flashing in his mind. He turned to Mu Chen and asked, "How do we get in? Do we just walk in?"

"Are you here to enroll in our Blue Tyrant Academy?" a middle-aged man at the gate asked as Flender finished speaking. "Enrollment has closed. Come back next year!"

"Take me to see your dean," Mu Chen said calmly.

"The dean?" The middle-aged man frowned, about to question further when he saw the seven soul rings light up around Mu Chen. "Soul… Soul Sage?"

"Any more questions?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.

"Respected Soul Sage, please wait," the middle-aged man bowed to Mu Chen. When he returned, he was accompanied by another middle-aged soul master.

"Respected Soul Sage, I am Yin Shu. Please follow me; I will take you to our dean."

Following Yin Shu, Mu Chen and his companions walked out of the campus and into the surrounding forest of the main campus.

"Mu Chen, do you know their dean?" Flender couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and asked Mu Chen quietly along the way.

"It's not me who knows, but you and the Grandmaster do," Mu Chen replied.

"Me and Xiaogang?"

"Me?" Flender and Yu Xiaogang were both puzzled, then their eyes lit up as they exclaimed in unison, "Blue Tyrant? Could it be that the person who founded this academy is…"

"Yes," Mu Chen nodded.

As they spoke, a faint song drifted from ahead, hauntingly beautiful and melancholic, as if lamenting, moving the listener's heart.

"Finding it hard to sleep at night, what can numb the emotions, too many to face. It's not that I don't want you to stay, some things you can't comprehend, shedding defenses, loneliness follows!"

"I want a space of my own, to think about our future. If love isn't as sweet as we imagine, let me bear all the sins!"

"My heart is too chaotic, needs some blank space, if you understand, let me leave temporarily."

"My heart is too chaotic, afraid of betrayal in love, I want to cry, but can't shed a tear!"

"My heart is too chaotic, needs some blank space, is heaven there, forgotten to arrange for me!"

"My heart is too chaotic, afraid of love's betrayal, wanting to cry, like a lost child!"

"A lost child!"

Hearing the moving song, Yu Xiaogang froze, now certain of who the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy was.

Flender glanced at Yu Xiaogang.

However, unlike in the original storyline, Yu Xiaogang didn't turn and flee but ran to a small river. Watching the woman watering flowers, Yu Xiaogang stood frozen.

"Erlong, it's really you." Flender's eyes widened, taking in the sight of the beautiful woman.

The woman wore a simple blue dress, appearing in her thirties. Her face was pale, yet her features were delicate. Age hadn't diminished her allure; rather, the dress accentuated her mature, voluptuous figure beautifully, exuding charm from head to toe.

*Clang*

The woman turned her head, first seeing Flender, her eyes shifting. Then her gaze fell on the red-clad Yu Xiaogang beside Flender. Dropping the watering can, she turned into a red streak and rushed to Yu Xiaogang's side.

*Whoosh*

As Liu Erlong moved, Yu Xiaogang moved simultaneously, evading her.

"Am I dreaming?" Liu Erlong asked mournfully, stepping forward, reaching to touch Yu Xiaogang's face, but he avoided her.

"Cousin, long time no see!" Yu Xiaogang greeted.

"Cousin?" Liu Erlong frowned, her heart aching.

Yu Xiaogang called her his cousin?!

"You call me cousin?" Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang, sorrowful.

"You are my second uncle's illegitimate daughter; I should call you cousin," Yu Xiaogang reiterated.

"Xiaogang, have you forgotten we were married?" Liu Erlong reminded.

"Cousin, please don't say that again. You are my cousin, and we cannot be together," Yu Xiaogang said, voicing his true feelings for the first time in twenty years.

"Xiaogang, I don't care. As long as I'm with you, nothing else matters," Liu Erlong confessed passionately.

"Cousin, you should understand me, know my character. We can't be selfish, thinking only of ourselves," Yu Xiaogang insisted firmly.

"Erlong, after all these years, how have you been?" Flender interjected wisely, breaking Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang's conversation.

"Flender, after all these years, you're still the same," Liu Erlong forced a smile, greeting Flender.

"No, I'm getting old," Flender replied with a smile.

From there, everything unfolded as in the original storyline.

When Flender asked Liu Erlong for a place to stay, she readily accepted them. Liu Erlong even renamed Blue Tyrant Academy to Shrek Academy, making Flender the new dean and herself the vice-dean.

Unbeknownst to Flender, his arrival solved a problem for Liu Erlong. She was looking to recruit talented students for the upcoming All-Continent Soul Master Elite Competition.

"Mu Chen, come with me!"

After Liu Erlong announced her decision, Yu Xiaogang called Tang San, likely to discuss his and Liu Erlong's situation.

After Liu Erlong returned from eavesdropping, she suddenly approached Mu Chen and whispered to him.

Following Liu Erlong, Mu Chen was led to the woods outside.

"Mu Chen, I have a favor to ask!" Liu Erlong said, her back to Mu Chen.

"Go ahead," Mu Chen replied.

"I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend," Liu Erlong said, turning slowly, her eyes filled with a mix of helplessness and pleading as she looked at Mu Chen.
