Tang San looked down at Yu Xiaogang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Did you call me Xiao San? Gangzi, don't you realize the difference in our status?"
His eyes were full of contempt, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his heart filled with frustration, but under the pressure of Tang San's powerful aura, he had no choice but to bow his head. He raised his head, looked at Tang San, and said with a hint of pleading: "Okay, Xiaosan... No, Lord Seagod, then please consider that I, Yu Xiaogang, have no merits but hard work for you. Can you take me to the God Realm? I don't want to die of old age in this lower realm..."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were full of desire, a desire for eternal life and powerful strength. At this moment, his dignity became insignificant in the face of the desire to survive.
Tang San stood up suddenly, walked slowly to Yu Xiaogang, looked down at him, then reached out and touched Yu Xiaogang's short flat head, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Gangzi, with a person like you, you also want to go to the God Realm? I think you are really getting carried away..."
But at this point, Tang San's eyes suddenly changed. His originally playful look instantly turned cold, as if he had thought of something. He slowly withdrew his hand, a sinister smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said: "However, there is a way."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Tang San's words, as if he had grasped at a last straw. He kowtowed hastily, his forehead thumping as it touched the ground, and said anxiously, "Please, Lord Seagod, tell me what's going on."
Tang San thought about it, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious. He bent down, approached Yu Xiaogang, and whispered: "As long as you let Liu Erlong accompany me for a while, I will consider taking you with me to the God Realm in the future..."
"What? You want Erlong? This... this can't be allowed." Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San, his eyes wide as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, his face filled with anger and disbelief. His lips trembled slightly, as if he was momentarily speechless at Tang San's absurd request. His already serious and rigid face was now contorted with extreme shock and anger. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, the knuckles turning white from the exertion.
He could never have imagined that the once well-behaved, sensible, and respectful Tang San would say such outrageous words.
Tang San, however, remained calm, his eyes revealing unquestionable arrogance. He said, "Why not? I, Tang San, am already the Sea God. It is your lover Liu Erlong's honor that I have set my eyes on her. Moreover, after being possessed by me, her descendants will also have my Sea God bloodline. This is a great reward for you. Do you understand, Gangzi?"
He raised his chin slightly, and the curve of his mouth was evil and arrogant, as if he didn't take Yu Xiaogang's anger seriously at all.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, furious and anxious. He knew full well that Tang San, now a Sea God, was far more powerful than himself, and that he could not threaten him no matter what. Reason gradually suppressed his anger, and a hint of helplessness and struggle flashed in his eyes. He stammered a few times before slowly saying, "Well... I'll think about it..." He lowered his head, not daring to meet Tang San's oppressive gaze. His voice was filled with endless frustration and unwillingness.
Seeing this, Tang San showed an evil smile on his face. He reached out and patted Yu Xiaogang's short flat head again, as if patting a docile puppy, and said: "Think it over, let Erlong come to me on his own initiative, understand?"
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, suppressed the humiliation in his heart, and said, "I understand, Lord Poseidon." After that, he slowly stood up, his steps staggering a little, like a puppet with his soul taken away.
He lowered his head, trying his best not to let Tang San see his humiliated expression at the moment, and walked out of Tang San's tent with a frustrated look on his face.
It was already midnight, and the camp was shrouded in a quiet darkness. Only a few tents were emitting faint lights, swaying in the night breeze.
Yu Xiaogang walked towards the camp where he and Liu Erlong were in a daze. The moonlight shone on him, casting a long, lonely shadow, as if it was also sighing for his experience.
Yu Xiaogang walked into the room, which was filled with a faint warm fragrance. Liu Erlong was already on the bed, with the quilt half covering her body, revealing her slender stockings in the hazy light..
She lay on her side on the bed, her black hair cascading on the pillow like a waterfall, and her delicate face looked even more charming in the dim light.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang come in with a strange look on his face, Liu Erlong frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She propped herself up, propping her head on one hand, and asked, "Where have you been, so late, Xiaogang?" Her voice was a little lazy, yet also full of concern. Her bright eyes stared at Yu Xiaogang, trying to discern a clue from his expression.
Yu Xiaogang was flustered, his eyes evasive, not daring to meet Liu Erlong's gaze. He lowered his head, pretending to straighten his clothes, and said, "Nothing. I'm going to talk to Xiao San about something." His voice was a little hoarse, with a subtle tremor, as if he was trying hard to hide his inner uneasiness.
Liu Erlong frowned slightly, her eyes full of suspicion, and looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, "If there is anything, can't we talk about it tomorrow? Why do you have to disturb me so late at night?" After that, she gently patted the bed sheet beside her, and said in a voice with a bit of anger and laziness, "Come up." Her eyes flickered with a hazy light in the dim candlelight, and her hair was scattered beside her cheeks in a messy manner, adding a bit of charm.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Liu Erlong, his eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of deep attachment and endless helplessness. He slowly climbed onto the bed, gently wrapped his arms around Liu Erlong's waist, and buried his face in her neck. His voice was trembling and bitter as he said, "Erlong, you are so beautiful that I am intoxicated. Unfortunately, I, Yu Xiaogang, can't bear to give you away..."
Liu Erlong's expression changed instantly. Her originally blurry eyes suddenly became sharp. She pushed Yu Xiaogang away, sat up, stared straight into Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and asked, "You want to give me away? To whom?"
Yu Xiaogang panicked, forcing a smile onto his face. He waved his hands wildly in the air and said hastily, "No, no, Erlong, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. How could I bear to give you away to someone else? You're the woman I love most in my life."
