In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 431 He will only ever be my cousin

But she didn't move.

He didn't even take a step.

A voice seemed to echo in my mind from the depths of my heart—

Are you going to see him?

Why do you want to go see him?

In what capacity will you go to see him?

A former lover?

……

After questioning himself for a moment, Liu Erlong glanced at Wang Zhao beside him and decided to watch silently with him in the night sky.

Her thoughts were a little chaotic for a moment, but perhaps she was just lucky, being usually carefree. Although she wasn't very perceptive, she suddenly realized, in a simple yet profound way, that she should stay by his side.

Regarding Wang Zhao...

To be frank, she has developed feelings for him after spending the last few years together.

Perhaps it was out of resignation, or perhaps it was because Wang Zhao, this little man, was truly charming. Even though she had been "exploited" by Wang Zhao, this unscrupulous boss, ever since he lured her to Qianlong Academy, she had gradually become attracted to him through their occasional work and conversations.

As for Yu Xiaogang, it wasn't that she had fallen in love with someone else.

Rather, she has already come to terms with it.

She waited for Yu Xiaogang for more than ten years, but Yu Xiaogang never came.

Just as her inner world was becoming increasingly empty, Wang Zhao's figure suddenly appeared.

Over the years, she often chatted with Wang Zhao, a man who, "in her opinion," was somewhat similar to Xiao Gang, and even more outstanding than Xiao Gang.

Wang Zhao seemed somewhat indifferent towards Liu Erlong. Of course, this didn't mean that Wang Zhao was rude to her; it just meant that Wang Zhao didn't deliberately try to shatter Yu Xiaogang's image in her mind, unlike he had with Bibi Dong.

Ultimately, it's because Wang Zhao doesn't have the same obsession with Liu Erlong as he does with Bibi Dong.

During their time together, Liu Erlong casually asked Wang Zhao about her views on "orthopedics." As Miyoshi Anamori, who had transmigrated from another world, Wang Zhao naturally instilled the correct values ​​in her.

Marriage between close relatives is unacceptable.

Then, subtly and gradually, Liu Erlong's feelings for Yu Xiaogang, whom she hadn't seen for over a decade, transformed into familial affection under her deliberate attention, while romantic love shifted to...

Ok.

Liu Erlong never imagined that she, a woman of such stature, would one day be "lured by an old grass to lure a calf".

She has always been someone who dares to love and hate.

As fiery as her martial spirit.

So, while acknowledging that her relationship with Yu Xiaogang was familial, she developed feelings for Wang Zhao, the little man she spent almost every day with.

She pursued Wang Zhao proactively, openly, and even fiercely.

She didn't believe that Wang Zhao, that cunning little devil, wouldn't be able to sense her feelings.

However, the two still maintain a normal superior-subordinate relationship... because Wang Zhao gave her a "precautionary warning".

Wang Zhao once confessed to her that he probably had quite a few "women".

In short, it is—

He is an "N-winged Angel King".

This was undoubtedly a blow to Liu Erlong, who had just begun to experience romantic feelings.

……that's all.

Their relationship has dragged on for a while now.

And tonight!

Right now!

Liu Erlong suddenly realized something.

Knowing that Wang Zhao is an absolute scumbag, why is she still willing to stay at Qianlong Academy?

In fact, her feelings grew stronger with time, and lately she's started to think:

"Wang Zhao, will you pursue me?"

"Can you respond to this feeling proactively and passionately?"

"You can..."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Let me be with you without even realizing it."

"And then, even if I'm not your only one, I'll be willing..."

That's how it is.

After experiencing a heartbreak.

She transferred all her love to Wang Zhao and was no longer willing to look for a third person.

Right now, the person she loved in the past but shouldn't have loved is not far away; the person she loves now but who causes her distress and worry is right beside her.

It's time for her to make a decision.

"Do you want to help them?"

Faced with Wang Zhao's question.

Liu Erlong gazed intently into his eyes and said, "If they're in trouble, I'd like to help. But what they're facing right now seems to be just... Yu Xiaogang's personal emotional issues with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

"There's nothing I can do to help, and if I'm not mistaken, the current dean of Blue Tyrant Academy probably welcomes Yu Xiaogang."

"In other words, this group of teachers and students from Shilke doesn't have any real problems to face."

"Um……"

Wang Zhao met Liu Erlong's gaze and nodded slightly. Deep in her eyes, a hint of surprise and contemplation flashed imperceptibly.

That woman, Liu Erlong...

Not right.

She's acting very strangely right now.

What does she want to do?

"Wang Zhao!"

Suddenly, Liu Erlong let out a low shout.

Then, he took a step forward and approached Wang Zhao.

In the past, Wang Zhao might have taken a half step back and used a tactical lean back.

However, having grown into a man as immovable as a mountain, he simply stood calmly, watching Liu Erlong's movements with great interest.

What can this older woman do to him?

"..."

Wang Zhao originally thought that his mindset would always be like Jiang Taigong fishing.

Calm and composed.

Unexpectedly, Liu Erlong's next move still disturbed his peace of mind.

"What... huh?!"

Wang Zhao's eyes widened slightly.

He had no idea that Liu Erlong would be so sudden and audacious!

"Mud...uh...stop...uh..."

Hemp egg!

They can't break free at all!

How can you be so persistent?!

Gazing upon that exquisitely beautiful face so close to his, her tightly closed, trembling eyes, and her breathtaking blush...

Wang Zhao's gaze gradually softened in the afternoon.

He wrapped his arms around this innocent and passionate older sister and began to respond to her.

Gradually.

He also completely seized the initiative.

...After a long while, their lips parted.

The glistening silk threads hung down in the air.

"How...how come you're so skilled?"

Liu Erlong slightly turned her head away, then turned back to look directly at Wang Zhao, asking shyly and deeply.

Wang Zhao blinked.

At this point, he could certainly give a straightforward answer.

But he won't.

Because he had already warned Liu Erlong, and now Liu Erlong's behavior clearly showed that she had accepted his philandering ways.

Since Liu Erlong has already humbled himself and wronged himself.

Therefore, there's no reason for Liu Erlong to take the initiative in the future as the two of them deepen their relationship.

He's not clumsy at all in this respect.

After all, he lacks emotional intelligence... so why not start a harem?

Hi.

Forget it, what's the point of explaining to a bunch of ginseng enthusiasts? (laughs)

……

Afterwards, Wang Zhao held Liu Erlong's hand and turned his gaze back to the open space not far away.

"Should we go and meet 'Little Anal'?"

Wang Zhao asked with a smile.

Seeing his winking and funny expression, Liu Erlong couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"What do you mean by 'small anus'? Anyway, he's my cousin, and he'll always be my cousin."

……at the same time.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt as if something was covering her head.

It made him feel very uncomfortable.
