Chapter 25: The Clouds Clear and the Sun Shines
"Gropping! With! Your! Eyes! Closed?!"
Liu Erlong felt like her hair was about to stand up!
Uncontrollably, she began to imagine that scene in her mind: Xiao Yin closing his eyes, his hands groping her body... changing clothes?!
"Ahhh! You little bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
She was completely mad, filled with shame and anger. She looked around and immediately caught sight of the sturdy-looking frying pan on the stove!
"You rascal! You scoundrel! I'm going to fight you today!"
Liu Erlong picked up the frying pan, no longer caring about her image, swung her arm, and smashed it towards Xiao Yin with a sound of breaking wind!
The posture looked as if she was going to smash his head into the pot and stir-fry it with the vegetables!
Xiao Yin was prepared and dodged to the side.
The heavy frying pan hit the stove with a "clang", sparks flew, and the iron pan was dented!
"Hey! Calm down!"
Xiao Yin had to dodge Liu Erlong's chaotic attacks while protecting the vegetables in the pot from being affected. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
"I'm telling the truth! And I swear, I didn't do anything unnecessary! I swear to God!"
"Swear?! I don't believe you!"
Liu Erlong chased him and beat him, "Changing clothes with your eyes closed? Why didn't you say you changed them while sleepwalking?!
I have kept my innocence for more than thirty years... wuwuwu..."
As she was beating him, her movements suddenly slowed down, her eyes instantly turned red, her voice became filled with tears, and the frying pan in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
She stopped chasing Xiao Yin and leaned weakly against the cold cupboard, covering her face with her hands, her shoulders began to twitch violently.
"Wu... I'm sorry, Yu Xiaogang... I'm sorry..."
Suppressed cries leaked out from between fingers, full of pain and self-blame.
At this moment, Liu Erlong's long-suppressed obsession with Yu Xiaogang, the pain of being abandoned, and the shame of being drunk and exposed last night suddenly burst out.
She felt that she had betrayed the long-gone love and something she had held on to.
The kitchen suddenly became quiet, with only Liu Erlong's suppressed sobs and the slight sizzling sound of the vegetables in the pot being forgotten.
Xiao Yin frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him who had instantly transformed from an angry dragon into a sad ostrich.
[Ding! Strong twisted obsession and self-deception detected! Special mission 'Clearing the Clouds to See the Sun' matched successfully!]
At this moment, the familiar system prompt sound in Xiao Yin's mind suddenly rang out with unprecedented pertinence!
[Quest Source: Douluo Continent (this plane), Liu Erlong, trapped in twisted obsession and self-imposed limitations.]
[Core of the wish (deep in the soul): to break free from the shackles and gain true emotional and spiritual liberation!]
Mission Objective: Guide Liu Erlong to recognize the true nature of her own emotions, thoroughly see through Yu Xiaogang's hypocritical nature, and break his long-standing spiritual shackles. Requirements: Make Liu Erlong feel disgusted and repulsed by Yu Xiaogang.
[Task time limit: 5 hours.]
[Quest Reward: Wish Points +1000; Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill x1 (significantly increases physical strength); Liu Erlong's 'Dragon's Heart' (implicit deep bond).]
[Failure Penalty: The host will be subjected to the 'Love Sorrow Curse' (lasting one month, opposite sex favorability reset to zero, Charm -50%).]
[Note: This mission is quite difficult, so it is recommended that the host use items from the system mall.]
Xiao Yin: "!!!"
The amount of information is a bit too much!
See Yu Xiaogang clearly?
How can I see this clearly?
That guy is still in Notting City, it's not realistic to go there now!
Xiao Yin looked at Liu Erlong crying heart-wrenchingly on the ground, and his eyes instantly became extremely sharp and firm.
He accepted this task!
It's not for the tempting reward (although the Dragon Blood Body Tempering Pill is very fragrant), but because he doesn't want to see a vibrant and fiery life like Liu Erlong forever imprisoned by the shadow of a coward!
And... the penalty for failure... is absolutely not acceptable!
"Yes, the system mall! Let me see if there's anything I can use!"
Xiao Yin quickly immersed his consciousness in the mall and browsed quickly!
"A thousand-mile teleportation array? 1,000 Wish Points? No, that's too expensive! And if we meet, the mission might be completely unfinished!
Puppet Talisman? No, it doesn't meet the mission criteria!
Hey, what is this... Real Illusion Fragment: The Sorrow of Choice? 200 Wish Points... Hmm... That's it! "
Wish value: -200!
Fragment of Real Illusion: The Sorrow of Choice: After use, it will guide the target to mentally recall the person they miss most in the depths of their memory, and the most turning point in their real life, and inject an "observer" perspective to allow them to see the other person's true thoughts at the time.
Let her take a good look at what Yu Xiaogang was thinking back then!
I just don't believe that Yu Xiaogang can really be a good person?!
Looking at the fragment of the illusion emitting a hazy halo, Xiao Yin took a deep breath, walked to Liu Erlong, and slowly squatted down.
His voice was deep and contained an unquestionable power!
"Liu Erlong!"
Liu Erlong's crying suddenly stopped, and her hands covering her face trembled slightly, but she did not let go.
"Look at me!"
Xiao Yin stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gently pressed on the back of her hand that was covering her face. The tears wet his fingertips.
He exerted a little force and pulled her hand away from her face with a firmness that could not be refused.
Liu Erlong was forced to raise her head and looked at him with tearful eyes.
The phoenix eyes that used to burn with fire were now red and swollen, leaving only confusion and pain.
She looked at Xiao Yin with empty eyes, as if she didn't know him.
"Do you feel sorry for Yu Xiaogang?"
Xiao Yin looked directly into her eyes and asked word by word, his tone calm but like a heavy hammer.
"The man who was cowardly, evasive, and couldn't even face his own feelings, leaving you alone to face all the storms?"
Liu Erlong's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously wanted to retort: "You are not allowed to say that about him! He..."
"He what?" Xiao Yin interrupted her, his eyes as sharp as a sword, piercing her heart.
"Why is he worthy of your keeping his innocence?
Is it worth it for you to bear so many years of pain and shackles for him?
Is it worth it for you to live like a tomboy who uses ferocity to hide your vulnerability?"
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Erlong's heart hard.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Those grievances that were deliberately forgotten and buried deep in the heart were ruthlessly torn open by Xiao Yin.
"Look at yourself!" Xiao Yin's voice suddenly became high-pitched.
"Liu Erlong! You are a Soul Sage! You are the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy! You are more powerful and dazzling than most men in this world!
And you're here crying over a coward who abandoned you and didn't dare to take responsibility?
He doesn't deserve it! Yu Xiaogang, he doesn't even deserve a strand of your hair! "
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Liu Erlong seemed to be completely pierced by the last sentence. She pushed Xiao Yin's hand away and screamed hysterically!
"Okay, then I'll show you clearly!"
Xiao Yin no longer hesitated, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he thought about it, the fragment of real illusion, the Sorrow of Choice, was activated instantly!
