Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Drained Xiao Gang, the Growing Rift in the Triangle
At dawn, Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face, his body no longer twitching from the pain.
Luo Sanpao also returned to Yu Xiaogang's body as the medicine's effects were absorbed.
"Is it over?"
Yu Xiaogang thought silently at this moment. Every time he moved, he felt a piercing pain that made him grimace.
His usual poker face was gone, replaced by a look of agony as he mumbled in pain, "Ouch, ouch."
Yu Xiaogang, who was already thin, looked like a skeleton after expelling a large amount of impurities, and his breathing was extremely faint.
"I'm hungry! I'm so hungry!"
With everything inside him emptied, Yu Xiaogang felt an unprecedented need, and with tears in his eyes, he shouted to Tang San and the others in the distance.
But his voice was too weak, and Tang San and the others couldn't hear him. Liu Erlong, unable to bear watching, turned her back to Yu Xiaogang, assuming he was still refining the medicinal power.
"No, Xiao San, I see Xiao Gang has been shouting at us. Is something wrong?"
Flander, with no one to chat with, was the first to notice Yu Xiaogang struggling. Seeing him about to crawl over, Flander endured the foul smell and walked towards him.
"Xiao Gang, what's wrong with you?"
Standing before Yu Xiaogang, enduring the pungent stench, Flander saw Yu Xiaogang, who was on the verge of collapse.
"Food, quickly, give me food."
Yu Xiaogang was both relieved and annoyed at this moment. He was relieved that Flander finally noticed his abnormality, but annoyed that Liu Erlong, who constantly professed her love for him, hadn't noticed. Instead, she had turned her back, unable to look directly. This infuriated Yu Xiaogang; he decided he wouldn't leave Liu Erlong for a day as punishment, unless Liu Erlong could earn his forgiveness.
Beside them, Liu Erlong finally discovered the dying Yu Xiaogang, her face paling in shock. Disregarding her image, she rushed over anxiously.
Tears streamed down her face, no longer caring about the foul-smelling black mud. She focused solely on channeling Soul Power to Xiao Gang to maintain his vitality.
"Quick, Flander, go get some food, and find a Healing Soul Master to treat Xiao Gang's injuries."
Seeing Flander still standing there, Liu Erlong frowned, her voice stern, as she commanded Flander.
"Okay, I'll go now."
As a seasoned lickspittle, Flander also reacted, stood up, and hurriedly left the foul-smelling place.
The bitterness in his heart grew stronger. Why could Yu Xiaogang so easily gain Liu Erlong's love, and yet not cherish it?
The lickspittle Flander grew angrier the more he thought about it, but not at Liu Erlong. After all, in his eyes, Liu Erlong was pure-hearted and couldn't tolerate any deceit.
It was this Yu Xiaogang, his brother, who, despite being together, stole Liu Erlong's heart.
When facing Yu Luomian's difficulties, he abandoned Liu Erlong and fled, seemingly unconcerned about Liu Erlong's safety.
He himself had been heartbroken for Liu Erlong for several months at that time, yet this useless Yu Xiaogang did not cherish Liu Erlong's love at all.
Liu Erlong was also blinded by Yu Xiaogang, her heart completely on Yu Xiaogang, which made him feel incredibly disheartened. What part of him, Flander, was worse than Yu Xiaogang?
In the future, he would at least be a high-level Soul Douluo, a master who could command a region in the Tiandou Empire. What did Yu Xiaogang have?
The more the lickspittle Flander thought, his consciousness began to awaken: he was no worse than Yu Xiaogang. Why did Liu Erlong not favor him?
Was it because of his appearance? Yu Xiaogang's zombie face and dead fish eyes weren't attractive either.
"Never mind, as long as Liu Erlong is happy."
The rebellious consciousness that had just awakened was instantly extinguished. Flander left the backyard dejectedly to find Shao Xin and make some sugar beans.
At this moment, the black mud around Yu Xiaogang had also been cleaned up by Tang San and the others, and the surrounding stench had faded considerably.
Except for Yu Xiaogang's body, which still had a strange smell. After all, he had been "marinated" thoroughly, and it would definitely not be removed without a good few days of soaking.
As Soul Power was continuously channeled into him, Yu Xiaogang's complexion improved slightly, but he still looked thin and pale, with sunken eyes.
"Why isn't Flander here yet? Xiao Gang is almost gone."
Liu Erlong flared up in anger, slapping the ground with her palm. For a moment, she didn't even call him Flander, revealing her true nature.
Now, with their relationship strained and each harboring their own ulterior motives, it would be difficult for them to even use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
"I believe Dean Flander will arrive soon."
Tang San looked at the fallen Yu Xiaogang, and two lines of hot tears streamed down his face, yet he did nothing.
"Brother... Brother San, I'm so cold."
Beside him, Xiao Fei also woke up from her coma. Tang San immediately left Yu Xiaogang with an apologetic look and went to Xiao Fei's side.
He picked up Xiao Fei and said somewhat awkwardly, "Teacher, Xiao Fei's body is not suitable for being outside right now. I'll take Xiao Fei back to the dormitory to rest first."
In Tang San's heart, Yu Xiaogang was definitely not as important as Xiao Fei. If Yu Xiaogang could still restrain Bibidong, he might have helped him, but the current Yu Xiaogang was just a tool to maintain his persona.
Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San about to leave and was initially displeased, about to erupt, but then thought of Tang San's father and could only say somewhat submissively:
"Mm, you go take Xiao Fei back to rest."
After all, he was the one who proved his theories, so no matter what, he couldn't let Tang San leave. He could only take a step back.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang agree, Tang San also carried Xiao Fei on his back, preparing to return to the dormitory to thoroughly check Xiao Fei's physical condition.
After all, this was the material for his future twin god positions, the scabbard of the Asura God, so there could be no mistakes.
It was definitely not to have a good chat with Xiao Fei or take advantage of her; this was a benevolent examination, his way of expressing concern as Xiao Fei's beloved.
Not long after Tang San left, Flander rushed over, taking out the meat and water he had brought, as well as Shao Xin's sugar beans, and fed them to Yu Xiaogang.
After eating some food, a hint of color returned to Yu Xiaogang's pale face. After swallowing the sugar beans, he was barely able to stand up.
"Let me help you, Xiao Gang."
Flander made to help Xiao Gang back to the room to rest, but Liu Erlong pushed him away unhappily, her tone somewhat reproachful.
"Flander, why are you so late? Don't you know Xiao Gang's body can't hold out much longer?"
In her opinion, Flander was doing it on purpose. Seeing Xiao Gang receive her love, he harbored some resentment and wanted to maliciously harm Xiao Gang.
Thinking this, her heart grew even more disgusted. Even if she, Liu Erlong, didn't have Yu Xiaogang, she would rather remain unmarried for life than marry this selfish Flander.
"No, it's not. Shao Xin was nowhere to be found. I searched for a long time before I found him."
Seeing Liu Erlong misunderstand, Flander said with tears in his eyes. He truly wished for Liu Erlong to be happy with all his heart.
"Hmph, Flander himself knows whether it's true or not."
Liu Erlong snorted, saying it as if she had expected it.
Clever as she thought she was, she believed she had guessed Flander's ulterior motives. Being already muddle-headed, the foolish dragon, easily excited by a word, complained indignantly without distinguishing right from wrong.
Seeing Flander deny it, her already limited intelligence became even more convinced of her inner thoughts: Flander had done it intentionally.
Xiao Gang treated him like a brother, yet he treated Xiao Gang this way. He was simply an unrighteous and disloyal person; she and Xiao Gang had misjudged him.
Seeing Liu Erlong's disbelieving expression, Flander looked troubled. He really didn't have such intentions! He usually indulged that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, otherwise, that good-for-nothing would have been beaten countless times.
If he really wanted to do something, why would he bring Yu Xiaogang to see you and reunite you? Was he that despicable?
