In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 8 Liu Erlong

Liu Erlong herself hates evil and has a very hot temper. She only restrains herself in front of Yu Xiaogang and Flanders.

And her two personality traits became more "distinct" after Yu Xiaogang abandoned her.

To use modern terms, it means becoming a "yandere".

Yu Xiaogang's act of abandoning her on their wedding day caused Liu Erlong extreme pain. In order to ease the pain, she once massacred a forest of soul beasts, making the killing uncontrollable. In daily life, any target she attacked would never have a chance to survive, even if it was only a minor evil.

Lan Ba ​​Academy was founded after she met Flanders again and with Flanders' guidance, she wanted to control the murderous nature in her heart.

But this does not mean that she has returned to being a normal person. She will still kill when hunting souls, and she will never hold back when encountering small evils.

Although the four new students Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu and Tai Long did not know Liu Erlong's past, they had seen a different side of their respected Dean Liu many times during the soul hunting a few days ago, and even witnessed her burning a young thief to ashes.

So when Liu Erlong asked the old man surnamed Yang about the children, Huang Yuan, who was already smart, immediately realized that something was wrong.

...Would their Dean Liu not even let the children go?!

When he first realized that something was wrong, he immediately consulted with his friends. Except for Tyrone who didn't care about the life and death of several civilian orphans, everyone decided to observe for a while.

After all, everyone could see the situation of this small village. Whether it was the old man surnamed Yang, the old man surnamed Lin who was yelling and cursing, or the middle-aged man in the shop next door, the students did not feel any real anger from their attitudes. Instead, they saw some pity in their eyes.

Those roasted sweet potatoes were obviously specially prepared by the old man surnamed Lin for the children. Who would roast so many sweet potatoes for dinner?!
Even from their conversations, it can be heard that the villagers all condone the children's behavior, but they are all forced by life and no family can afford to have another child, so they can only support the children in this way.

Even the students themselves had realized this. Even Tai Long, the most lazy and inept among them, though he acted as if he didn't care about the lives of those orphans, had clearly noticed this. Their Dean Liu wouldn't be unaware of this, right?

However, what the young boys and girls had never expected was that their Dean Liu Erlong would not care about the reasons behind any "evil" behavior, and would never let it go even if it was a "small evil" condoned by the villagers!

Huang Yuan's bad premonition reached its peak in an instant when Liu Erlong's eyes became sharp.

This time, he and Jing Ling didn't even need to remind her, Jiangzhu turned around and ran towards the room where she was staying upstairs.

............................................................

"Stop it, Dean! Stop it, Dean!"

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties came running all the way. Thanks to his physical fitness enhanced by his beast martial soul, he quickly stood between Liu Erlong and Yin Lan, and five yellow and purple soul rings rose behind him.

"News letter?! How could you..." Liu Erlong was shocked and looked at the middle-aged man in some surprise.

"Dean Liu! You are so confused... How could you..." Yinshu looked at the woman in front of him with a sad face. If it weren't for the students, he really wouldn't realize what his respected dean had done.

Even he, who had served as Liu Erlong's deputy for many years, hadn't realized how distorted Liu Erlong's perspectives had become. Students and teachers had always respected Liu Erlong greatly. She had reached the Soul Sage level, a level unattainable for most spirit masters, despite being a woman. She had founded the Blue Tyrant Academy, which exclusively accepted ordinary people, providing a path forward for countless spirit masters of humble origins.

But no one knows what kind of person she used to be. Even after so many years of founding the academy, no one has ever truly understood her.

The villagers who hurried over stared at the burning building with dull eyes, their thoughts almost stopped. They did not come with the soul masters to watch the excitement, but they saw the flames rising into the sky from a long distance. Everyone in the village knew that the orphans lived here, and they came to put out the fire.

But the flames that erupted several times looked abnormal in every way. Some villagers even said that they saw a flame that looked like a dragon's head. One said that it might be an illusion, and two said that it might be a ghost joining in the fun, but if everyone saw it, it was abnormal!
Until everyone rushed here and saw the woman surrounded by flames, and the little girl who was still in the burning building, surrounded by flames and with blood on her face, at this moment, everyone understood what was going on.

The villagers also knew the girl. She was a child who was found in an abnormally lush bunch of blue silver grass outside the village six years ago. She was also the youngest orphan in the village. She always liked to follow the children quietly with a pot of blue silver grass in her arms. The villagers even remembered the nickname "Cao Niu'er" given to her by the children.

"Bastard... bastard!" An old man cursed angrily while trembling. He picked up the bucket of water and poured it on himself without caring about his old body. He rushed into the fire and hurriedly carried out the poor and helpless little girl inside. It was the old man named Lin.

"Beast!" The shop owner who came along summoned a wooden stick and smashed it directly at Liu Erlong.

"Get out of my restaurant! I won't charge you any money! Get out!" The old man surnamed Yang's face flushed red, and he spoke all the words in one breath with a trembling body. For a moment he was even a little short of breath.

"Get out of Fengling Village!"

"You don't even spare children! You murderer! Executioner!"

"You are not welcome in our village!"

For a moment, the villagers' roars surrounded them. Liu Erlong finally noticed her surroundings and confusion appeared in her eyes.

"Children...children..." The old man surnamed Lin who was holding Yin Lan did not join in the scolding. He just looked at the burning broken building, his body shaking violently, his voice breathless.

While taking off his coat and wrapping Yin Lan, he was about to rush in again, but was finally stopped by the shop owner.

Liu Erlong looked around in confusion, looking at the villagers who were glaring at her, looking at Yinshu with a sad face, and looking at the students with disbelief on their faces. Although she possessed a fire-attributed martial spirit, she felt her lips becoming dry and cracked.

"I'm not..." Liu Erlong was about to say something when she suddenly felt something hit her. She reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be an egg. It even felt smooth and fresh.

Logically speaking, even if the egg was not burned to ashes by the flames when it approached her, it should have been fried by the high temperature. However, she did not realize the changes in her body at the first time. Instead, her hot temper surged up again. She raised her foot and stomped hard on the ground, about to release her soul power to suppress it. However, she realized at this moment that she still could not sense the soul power in her body, and the flames surrounding her body had already been inexplicably extinguished.

But what greeted her were the villagers' even angrier gazes.

"Dean Liu Erlong!" Yinshu stood in front of her and tried to persuade her, "Stop doing stupid things!"

"You bastards! Today is the day the Spirit Hall masters will awaken the spirits of these children!" Someone among the villagers shouted excitedly, "The Spirit Hall masters will not let you go!"
