Soul Land: I Became the Pope from the Beginning

Chapter 134: Xiaogang and Erlong Roll Back to the Restroom, Utterly Disgraced

"You! You're going too far."

Yu Xiaogang watched Liu Erlong being controlled with just one hand, his face turning ashen. He had kicked a steel plate this time.

"Going too far? Are you even human?"

Qian Renchuan chuckled. They came to trouble him, yet they accused him of going too far. Did they expect him to let them beat him up without resistance so it wouldn't be considered going too far?

"You—"

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to retort, he heard Liu Erlong cry out in pain, and he immediately deflated.

Qian Renchuan also noticed Liu Erlong's constant struggles, a flicker of impatience in his eyes. He directly punched Liu Erlong in the abdomen, then grabbed her face and flung her aside.

As Liu Erlong was thrown out, she landed in a deep pit, somewhat incontinent.

After enduring suffocation, she finally breathed in air again, greedily gasping, seemingly unaware of the filth covering her lower body.

"Hiss."

Once she recovered, Liu Erlong smelled a pungent, foul odor and immediately realized her abnormality.

Just as she tried to stand up, a tearing pain in her lower abdomen made her unable to straighten her back. She hunched over and slowly limped to Yu Xiaogang's side.

But then she saw Yu Xiaogang's brow suddenly furrow, clearly disgusted by her smell.

She immediately glared at Qian Renchuan with resentment. It was all because of this boy that she had made a fool of herself in front of Xiaogang.

"Now, for every step you retreat, you must kowtow to us. Only after nine kowtows can you leave."

Qian Renchuan didn't care how useless Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were. If his father hadn't wanted to see a show, he would have slapped these two good-for-nothings to death long ago.

"Even if we die, we won't do that."

Liu Erlong was unyielding, giving off the impression of wanting to rather die than submit. Then, with her eyes full of resolve, she looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Xiaogang, isn't that right?"

Right my ass!

Yu Xiaogang cursed inwardly. 'You don't want to live, but I do! My ideals haven't been realized yet.'

If he died now, he would truly be unwilling.

He couldn't help but regret bringing Liu Erlong along; she was utterly brainless.

He had already prepared himself to kneel and surrender, but now she was acting tough.

However, to save his life—and his insignificant pride—Yu Xiaogang spoke, seemingly considering Liu Erlong.

"Erlong, we can't die yet. You're still young; you have a greater future ahead. I can't watch you die like this. What does my reputation matter for your sake?"

Yu Xiaogang's voice was filled with feigned tenderness, as if he were truly thinking of Liu Erlong, not himself.

"Xiaogang, for you, I am willing to give my life."

Liu Erlong had already let her lower body replace her brain, and love replaced her reason. She would open her mouth to praise Xiaogang and close it to do so.

She was pure and unblemished, with an extraordinary temperament. How could the wise Xiaogang be a hypocrite?

"No, live on. Promise me, Erlong."

Yu Xiaogang tightly held Liu Erlong's hand, not daring to let go. He was truly afraid that this fool, Liu Erlong, would cause more trouble and lose her life here.

Looking at the unyielding expression in Yu Xiaogang's eyes and his tightly clasped hand, Liu Erlong was deeply moved. Was this Xiaogang who loved her?

She immediately choked out, "Okay, Xiaogang, we'll both live well."

This disgusting scene immediately sickened Qian Renchuan and Xiao Wu. Qian Renchuan felt his hands were dirty.

He directly used Blue Silver Grass to give each of them a big slap, sternly scolding: "If you're going to kowtow, do it quickly. What are you doing, you disgusting people?"

"Damn it!"

Liu Erlong was about to erupt but was stopped by Yu Xiaogang, who said humiliatedly, "Okay, we'll roll."

"Remember to kowtow."

Qian Renchuan said casually.

Hearing his words, Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened. He clenched his fists tightly, then sighed helplessly and knelt on the ground, powerless.

Thump—

With one kowtow, Yu Xiaogang also forced Liu Erlong to kowtow quickly. He was already in this state; wasn't it just to get out alive?

Liu Erlong, originally unwilling, could only humiliate herself by kowtowing to Qian Renchuan and the others. But her voice was too soft, which displeased Qian Renchuan.

"The sound is too soft. I didn't hear it. Kowtow again."

"Does a soft sound mean I didn't kowtow? Are you playing with us?"

Liu Erlong stood up directly but was quickly pulled back and appeased by Yu Xiaogang.

"So what if I am?"

Qian Renchuan also realized that Liu Erlong was simply asking for it and could no longer be dealt with by ordinary means; she had to be suppressed.

Immediately, Blue Silver Grass vines appeared around her and whipped furiously at her body, making crackling sounds.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Erlong lay on the ground, skin torn and flesh lacerated. Her mouth was swollen, and she could only mumble.

"Stop hitting! Don't hit anymore! We'll kowtow! We'll kowtow loudly!"

Yu Xiaogang saw Liu Erlong, completely swollen and covered in bloodstains. If she continued to be beaten, she wouldn't last. This was his backer at Shrek, and if she were gone, he would be finished.

He pulled Liu Erlong, grabbing her hair, and kowtowed with each step, making loud thudding sounds.

After they had kowtowed nine times, Qian Renchuan indifferently took Xiao Wu's hand and slowly departed, leaving behind the unconscious Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, who was secretly relieved to have saved his own life.

To avoid being discovered by the members of Shrek Academy in his current state, Yu Xiaogang did not return but first found a medical clinic where a Healing Soul Master treated him and Erlong.

However, because Liu Erlong's body had a strong odor—and to save face—before treatment, he disregarded her injuries and poured cold water over her.

It was a simple cleaning. Although he coveted Liu Erlong's body, unfortunately, he no longer had any sensation, nor did he have his little brother.

He could only watch silently. This was the pain of his entire life.

"Hiss~"

Liu Erlong, suddenly awakened by the cold water, immediately grimaced in pain. Before she could see who it was, she was about to curse.

Then she saw Yu Xiaogang beside her and swallowed her words, though she still let out occasional groans of pain.

"Erlong, the top priority is to treat your injuries quickly."

Yu Xiaogang said, disregarding Liu Erlong's wailing, and immediately pulled her toward the medical clinic.

Her wounds, stimulated by the cold water and the newly closed ones, tore open again with her movement, causing Liu Erlong to limp as she walked.

"Xiaogang, can you slow down? My wounds are splitting open again."

She couldn't bear it anymore. No matter how much she liked Yu Xiaogang, she couldn't let this continue. If she walked any further, she would die of pain.

"Oh, oh, okay."

Yu Xiaogang was first startled, confused as to why Liu Erlong was speaking to him. He turned his head and saw her pale from blood loss, and immediately understood. She had been bleeding all the way, feeling she couldn't hold on, which is why she reminded him.
