Chapter 104: Blue Tyrant Academy Changes Name to Shrek, Yu Xiaogang's Second Spring Arrives
Before long, the gatekeeper hurried over, saying respectfully, "Esteemed guests, please come in."
"Next time, be quicker. Your Fatty has gotten thin from hunger."
Ma Hongjun, still fuming from the internal conflict, vented all his anger on the gatekeeper.
"Yes, yes, it was my oversight."
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper didn't fall for it. His expression became even more respectful as he shouted to the person behind him, "Why aren't you taking these esteemed guests to see the Dean?"
As a seasoned veteran in the workplace, he always handed off people who weren't easy to deal with to the newcomers.
This also prevented him from angering them, and it was a good excuse to let the newcomers prove themselves, which he considered part of his way of dealing with people.
"Esteemed guests, please follow me."
The person called out also dared not slack off and immediately spoke respectfully to the people from Shrek Academy.
He led the visitors through a series of buildings to a secluded grove, where Liu Erlong lived.
According to rumors circulating within the academy, this place was connected to an old incident and was also a place Liu Erlong originally yearned for.
Arriving at the room in the center of the grove, surrounded by lush flowers and plants, with only a small path, it was indeed a good place for meditation.
"Esteemed guests, the Dean is waiting in the office. I shall take my leave first."
It's important to note that Liu Erlong had a bad temper, and this place was even more of a forbidden area for their Blue Tyrant Academy. As a mere gatekeeper, he naturally didn't want to stay long, so he left in a hurry.
"Xiaogang, you wait here. I'll open the door."
Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang, with a hint of envy in his eyes, regret for Liu Erlong, and a touch of unwillingness.
He believed Liu Erlong would also be happy to see Xiaogang.
Suppressing the regret in his heart, Flender sighed helplessly, thinking with some relief that as long as Liu Erlong could be happy again, everything would be worth it.
"Okay."
Yu Xiaogang remained expressionless, but his heart was inexplicably flustered.
What's going on?
Yu Xiaogang felt unease in his heart as if he was facing something unpleasant.
Before Yu Xiaogang could think too much, the door had already been pushed open by Flender, and the sound coming from inside made Yu Xiaogang's body tremble violently.
"Xiaogang, is it you?"
Liu Erlong's voice trembled slightly. Through the dark doorway, she looked out at the bright outside, and she saw the familiar figure hiding behind everyone.
The figure she had longed for day and night was once again standing before her. Years of longing, years of memories in her mind, and the experiences of these years made her not know where to begin.
She only felt her eyes moisten; two clear tears continuously slid from the corners of her eyes to the ground, and she stood up, trembling all over.
Suddenly, she snapped back to reality and shouted in surprise, "Xiaogang, are you finally willing to see me?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was numb. What he feared most now was seeing Liu Erlong, afraid of being discovered by his second uncle and being beaten and thrown out again.
So when he saw Liu Erlong again, he felt no joy in his heart but endless panic, fearing that he would be taken back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He subconsciously wanted to escape, but Liu Erlong, who was prepared, firmly stopped him.
"Xiaogang, are you going to abandon me and leave me again this time?"
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang affectionately, tears filling her eyes, and questioned him.
"Do I not deserve your love?"
"Liu Erlong, we are cousins. It's impossible between us."
Yu Xiaogang looked dejected. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but his second uncle didn't want him to be with Liu Erlong. Otherwise, he would have wanted to take Liu Erlong a long time ago.
"Do we have to care about what those people think? We truly love each other."
As a female Tyrant Dragon, Liu Erlong naturally didn't care about ethical relationships or outsiders' opinions. If they dared to speak, she would just beat them until they stopped.
When Yu Xiaogang left her, she even annihilated an entire Soul Beast forest out of anger.
"Alas, but Second Uncle will ultimately not agree."
Liu Erlong's words touched Yu Xiaogang a little. He didn't want to give up this cousin who deeply loved him, but thinking of his second uncle's Soul Douluo cultivation, he still smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Teacher, I think you and the Dean can become a spiritual couple."
At this moment, Tang San, who was familiar with the plot, stepped forward.
"Xiao San, what is a spiritual couple?"
Yu Xiaogang felt there was something to gain and immediately asked eagerly, suddenly recalling that his disciple Tang San's father was a Title Douluo. So what was a mere Yu Luomian?
"The teacher and the Dean truly love each other but are constrained by blood relations and ethics. However, spiritual love does not involve these things, so Teacher, you can become a spiritual couple, and I believe outsiders won't say anything."
Tang San said confidently. Although he knew that Yu Xiaogang still couldn't overcome his inner hurdle after he became a god and left behind descendants, the most important thing now was to stabilize Liu Erlong and make her voluntarily change Blue Tyrant Academy's name to Shrek Academy and participate in the competition.
"Spiritual Couple!"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned at first, then reacted and shouted in pleasant surprise. Spiritual Couple—that's good. The name 'spiritual couple' is well-chosen.
Then he looked at Liu Erlong, who was full of anticipation, waiting for her to bring up the matter of becoming a spiritual couple. How could he, being so noble, propose it himself?
"Xiaogang, what are you still hesitating about? Do you not love me anymore?"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang still indecisive, Liu Erlong immediately grabbed his hand and said firmly, "If you don't agree today, don't even think about leaving here."
"This... alright. Today, Liu Erlong and I shall become a spiritual couple."
Yu Xiaogang was also inwardly delighted, but he maintained a stiff face. His noble image couldn't be lost; he was being forced into this.
"Xiaogang."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang agree, Liu Erlong also nodded contentedly and hugged him tightly.
At this moment, a somewhat disheartened Flender walked out and said weakly, "Liu Erlong, what about our Shrek Academy matter?"
"From now on, Blue Tyrant Academy will be renamed Shrek Academy, and Elder Flender, you will be the new Dean. I plan to enjoy the rest of my life with Xiaogang."
Liu Erlong hadn't seen Yu Xiaogang for many years, so she naturally couldn't let trivial matters like managing the academy distract her. Anyway, Blue Tyrant Academy was already hers, and she was giving it to Flender.
It was also a thank-you gift to Flender for bringing Xiaogang back to her.
"That's great! Thank you so much, Liu Erlong."
Flender looked at the loving Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, feeling even more bitter inside—as if all his strength had been drained—but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Elder Brother Flender, you can arrange it yourself. The Dean's seal is on my desk, and for the subsequent procedures, you can just handle them."
Liu Erlong waved her hand indifferently, then pulled Yu Xiaogang and left hurriedly, leaving only the Shrek Three Perverts looking enviously at their retreating figures.
'Damn it, what right does Yu Xiaogang, that useless person who can never break through level thirty, have to win over a beauty?'
The Shrek Three Perverts felt unbalanced and immediately left the academy, heading to a brothel to enjoy themselves.
As a result, when Dai Mubai went to the brothel, he became even more distraught.
Watching the surrounding people gradually disperse, only Ning Rongrong remained in the grove. Ever since Zhu Zhuqing left, no one was willing to talk to her anymore.
