Chrysanthemum Douluo, on the other hand, grew gleeful.
"All right!"
"Since you insist, there's nothing I can do. Don't blame me if your eyes get tainted!"
"Hehehe!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's laughter sounded truly perverse.
It gave Everyone goosebumps from head to toe.
Although they began having cold feet, none were willing to back down and leave directly at this point.
(Round Two)
Meanwhile.
Dinner had concluded.
Yu Xiaogang lay in bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window, his heart still heavy.
He was carrying far too much right now.
The humiliation of being trash his whole life, the betrayals by Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong, his hatred for Su Yan, Tang San's growth, Brother Jie's love...
"Sigh!"
Yu Xiaogang sighed and whispered, "Brother Scar, you should leave tomorrow!"
"Xiaogang."
Brother Scar sat at the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Yu Xiaogang continued, "What I must do is far too perilous. I know you wish to repay me, and I know you truly regret your past actions."
"However, you must still go. The path I walk is destined to bring extreme danger to anyone by my side."
Yu Xiaogang was carrying far, far too much.
He had nothing left to offer Brother Scar; he would only bring him danger.
Brother Scar replied with a dead serious expression:
"Xiaogang, I'm not afraid."
"I mean it. Ah Jie is gone, but in the days to come, I am willing to protect you."
"I can swear an oath. Just like Brother Jie, anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over my corpse first. The promises Ah Jie could make, I, Brother Scar, can make as well."
"You..."
Yu Xiaogang sat up and looked at Brother Scar, his eyes conflicted.
Brother Scar could not resist reaching out to caress Yu Xiaogang's face.
The atmosphere in the room turned ambiguous, giving onlookers like Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo goosebumps all over.
After a long pause.
Brother Scar suddenly blurted out, "Xiaogang, you're burning up!"
Yu Xiaogang snapped back to reality and reached up to touch his own forehead.
Yet he found it wasn't hot at all.
"Not really?"
"My forehead feels normal. I don't have a fever?"
Brother Scar shook his head and said with utter seriousness, "I didn't mean your forehead, but that you... are so hot!"
Yu Xiaogang immediately realized what he meant. Just as he was about to speak, Brother Scar pushed him straight down.
"You..."
"Brother Scar, what are you doing?"
Brother Scar got to work as he answered, "Xiaogang, I'm sorry. The physical wounds on your body can be healed with medicine."
"However, the wounds in your heart cannot be mended. To relieve the pain caused by Ah Jie's passing, I must do this."
"Brother Scar, don't!"
...
On the other side.
Qian Daoliu staggered back several steps, slamming against a stool with a loud bang, only preventing a fall by gripping the table.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others also backed away uncontrollably, terror evident in their eyes.
"Holy crap!"
"It's over, we're completely done for this time."
"My eyes... my eyes..."
"Yue Guan, you pervert! You... you... you knew this would happen, yet you didn't warn us earlier?!"
"In all my years, my eyes have never been so utterly defiled as today!"
"I can't take it, I really can't take it! Why did I stay? Why did I stay behind with Yue Guan to watch such a perverse show?!"
"If I have sinned, execute me with a blade! Don't make me watch this..."
At this moment, the group that had been talking tough moments earlier experienced a genuine mental breakdown.
How could they have anticipated that Chrysanthemum Douluo's earlier warning was referring to something so utterly absurd?
It was agonizing.
Wouldn't this damn well give them styes?
Chrysanthemum Douluo was clutching his stomach, shaking with laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"I told you earlier to go to sleep, but you insisted on staying to watch with me."
"Esteemed Elders, you chose this yourselves!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was practically dying of laughter.
After all, even Old Ghost had fled directly back then; how could these Old geezers possibly endure it?
Qian Daoliu threw out a final remark—"I'll settle the score with you pervert tomorrow!"—and leaped straight out the window to escape.
Immediately after.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the rest left harsh words before fleeing in utter panic.
"Yue Guan, you just wait."
"Just wait, this isn't over."
"You bastard are a pure pervert..."
"Wretch!"
Watching the group flee one after another in panic, Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed even harder.
Unable to handle such a minor scene?
How were they supposed to learn from him the path of becoming a god through perversion?
Still.
Qian Daoliu and the others finally understood why Su Yan had taken his people and bolted without hesitation upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's warning.
It turned out Su Yan had already grasped Chrysanthemum Douluo's meaning back then and guessed this very show was coming!
You people are truly perverse enough!
Despicable!
Elsewhere.
Along a bustling street in Heaven Dou City.
Su Yan held Bibi Dong's hand with his left and wrapped his right arm around Qian Renxue's waist, strolling through the streets with them when he suddenly sneezed.
"Achoo~"
"Huh, who's missing me now?"
Qian Renxue couldn't help glaring at Su Yan as she retorted, "Maybe my grandfather and the others are cursing you in their hearts."
Su Yan chuckled and said, "How could you say that? SeniorQian Daoliu has been upright and honorable his whole life; how could he badmouth me behind my back?"
"I reckon Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and the girls must be missing me."
"Still, this return was quite rushed, and none of them came back with us. Next time we return, I'll accompany them home to visit their families!"
Bibi Dong suddenly recalled something and asked, "Xiaoxue, do you have a plan regarding how to become a god?"
Qian Renxue shook her head slightly. "I'm not sure either."
Bibi Dong glanced at Angel God and Rakshasa God, remarking, "There are only so few God Kings in the Divine Realm, so the chances of inheriting a God King's God Position are slim."
"Why not inherit Angel God's God Position? After all, a First-Class God's God Position can at least allow you to skip the thirty-level hurdle of Divine Power."
"As for the God Trial, we can simply have Angel God go easy on you. That won't be an issue for us anymore."
Angel God nodded in agreement. "That works. I can modify the contents of the God Trial for you and make it simpler."
"Besides, inheriting my God Position now is already at the God King level."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was utterly astonished:
"What?"
"A God Trial can even be altered?"
Jade Rakshasa explained from the side:
"Of course it can be changed. The so-called God Trial is merely a Deity's test for their successor. What kind of test the Deity wants the successor to undergo, and whether they pass or fail—isn't that entirely up to the Deity to decide?"
"How do you think Tang San's dual God Positions came about? Haven't you ever wondered? Tang San didn't even participate in Asura God's God Trial—it had nothing whatsoever to do with him—yet he could inherit it directly."
Lingyuan was also bewildered at this moment and asked, "Wait, that doesn't seem right. Didn't Tang San gain Asura God's God Position because Tang Chen underwent the God Trial?"
Rakshasa God felt like laughing and said:
"Is that right?"
"What the hell does the God TrialTang Chen underwent have to do with Tang San?"
"Even if Tang San's biological father, Tang Hao, had undergone the God Trial, or Pendant Wu had undergone it, that still wouldn't have anything to do with Tang San himself. There is zero connection between the two; it mostly comes down to whether the Deity wants to force it onto them."
"It's not as if someone undergoing the earlier God Trials means it can unconditionally transfer to another person."
"If it could be transferred, inheriting a God Position would be far too easy. Over all these years, whose God PositionInheritance hasn't had a whole bunch of successors who failed their trials?"
"Besides, this is an assessment to receive the power of a God Position. How could taking a test by proxy ever be a thing?"
