Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 327, Section 346: Gangzi, your brother is doing this for your own good.

Yu Xiaogang raised his head and met the Snow Maiden's icy gaze. After just one glance, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. In an instant, his crotch became wet, and a foul smell emanated from his trouser leg.

I'm going to die. I just offended her. She wants to kill me. She definitely wants to kill me. No, I can't die. I can't die!

Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong with pleading eyes, but saw that Bibi Dong's gaze was also cold and indifferent.

Such a gaze deeply stung Yu Xiaogang and completely overturned all of his previous guesses!
Bibi Dong responded, "Perfect timing. He also recently spread rumors about the Spirit Hall's Angel Douluo, so..."

These words left Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.

Bibi Dong, how could you be so heartless? Have you forgotten the memories we shared together in Coconut Grove City (the illusion, experienced only by Yu Xiaogang himself)? How could you do this to me?

Just as Bibi Dong was about to announce how to deal with Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaomen stepped forward and said, "Your Holiness, please allow me to say a few words."

Bibi Dong nodded.

Yu Xiaomen said, "Xiao Gang is my elder brother. He suffered an emotional breakdown due to a mutation of his martial soul at a young age, and has since become mentally unstable, schizophrenic, and has paranoia. I sincerely apologize on his behalf and to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for his offense. If possible, I hope you can entrust me with the right to decide how to deal with him, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Bibi Dong said, "Okay!"

The Snow Woman said, "That depends on how you handle it."

Yu Xiaomen immediately channeled the Golden Sacred Dragon, his dragon armor exuding unparalleled domineering power. He flew to Yu Xiaogang, looking at Gangzi with a face full of disappointment and frustration, without speaking, but instead forcing a whispered message to Yu Xiaogang:

“Gangzi, you’ve seen it yourself. You’ve caused a huge disaster. If you don’t handle it properly, it could even bring calamity to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Although we don’t get along, we are brothers after all. Brothers should naturally stand together against outsiders. As your younger brother, how can I stand by and watch you be executed? So…”

Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Xiaomen with complicated emotions, feeling 98% resentment and 2% gratitude. The resentment stemmed from seeing the majestic golden holy dragon on Yu Xiaomen's body—it should have been his! If he had consumed it decades ago, he, Yu Xiaogang, would have been the glorious Title Douluo. The gratitude came from the fact that Yu Xiaomen had stood up for him in his time of crisis. (Don't underestimate this mere 2%; for someone as extremely self-centered as Yu Xiaogang, to feel even this small amount of gratitude is quite remarkable. Of course, this gratitude won't last long!)
Yu Xiaomen slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face, the force knocking out several of his teeth. Yu Xiaogang's body was sent flying into the air, spinning 365 degrees before freefalling.

Yu Xiaogang covered his face, spitting blood. The 2% gratitude he'd felt moments before vanished instantly with that slap. He glared at Yu Xiaomen, his face contorted with undisguised resentment. But Yu Xiaomen's next words were:
“Gangzi, it hurts me as well as you as I do, but I have no choice but to hit you. I’m doing this for your own good. Think about it, you’ve offended the Spirit Hall. Do you think they’ll let you off easily if Starfire Academy doesn’t give you an explanation? So just bear with it.”

Yu Xiaogang covered his face, glancing at Bibi Dong and Xue Nu watching the scene above. He immediately understood Yu Xiaomen's intention and felt a slight sense of gratitude.

Then, with a snap, Yu Xiaogang slapped him away again.

“Gangzi, as the saying goes, a small stick can be used to take a big one. I only whipped you because I felt sorry for you. Otherwise, once the Pope pronounces his verdict, even if you lose your life, you'll still end up in jail. So, I have to whip you hard to give those two powerful people an explanation.”

The word "imprisonment" triggered a conditioned reflex in Yu Xiaogang. He recalled his unbearable experience in the Spirit Hall prison. Although Brother Jie and the others had been released, who knew if there were still other brothers in the Spirit Hall's dormitory building?
“Wabibabu, wabibabu! (Slap me, slap me, slap me hard!)” Yu Xiaogang mumbled incoherently. His younger brother, Yu Xiaomen, seemed to realize Yu Xiaogang’s intention, so he slapped him again and again until Yu Xiaogang’s face was bruised and swollen, and his teeth were knocked out.

"Wabibabu, wabibabu! (Stop smoking, I can't take it anymore, it's too painful)" Yu Xiaogang said indistinctly.

Yu Xiaomen grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar and dragged him in front of Lin Chen like he was pulling trash. He shouted at Yu Xiaogang, "Gangzi, kneel down and sincerely apologize to Lin Chen, the friend you just framed. Do you hear me?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Lin Chen, who was standing triumphantly in front of him, with his bruised and swollen face. Then he looked at Yu Xiaomen, and a hint of reluctance flashed across his bruised and swollen face.

Yu Xiaomen then forced a voice into Yu Xiaogang and said, "Gangzi, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, I'm trying to save you. You framed someone, and if Xinghuo Academy investigates, you won't escape death."

Hearing Yu Xiaomen's reminder, Yu Xiaogang quickly suppressed his fear and anger. He knelt down before Lin Chen in humiliation, and even kneeling without any dignity, he still managed to curse, taking advantage of his slurred speech, "Wai bi ba bu, wai bi ba bu! (Lin Chen, I'm drawing a circle to curse you to die.)"

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly," Lin Chen said, feigning confusion.

"Wabi Babu, Wabi Babi!"

"Let's treat his voice," Lin Chen said to Su Qingqian.

Su Qingqian nodded and released a healing light wave. Now, Yu Xiaogang spoke fluently, and there was no more ambiguity.

"Gangzi, apologize! Apologize now, or your little brother won't be able to save you!" Yu Xiaomen said to Yu Xiaogang with a look of exasperation.

Left with no other option, Yu Xiaogang could only say, "I'm sorry, Lin Chen, it was I, Yu Xiaogang, who framed you. I am guilty!"

"Kneel three times before my friend Lin Chen." Yu Xiaomen said to Yu Xiaogang with wide eyes, then advised him in a strained voice, "Gangzi, take the beating if you have a small one, I'm doing this for your own good."

Left with no other option, Yu Xiaogang had to humiliatingly kowtow three times to Lin Chen.

"Young friend Lin Chen, what do you think of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's handling of this matter?" Yu Xiaomen asked.

Lin Chen felt as refreshed as if he had drunk Sprite on a hot day. He said, "Your Majesty, I am satisfied. I am very satisfied. May I have a few words with Yu Xiaogang?"
