Chapter 38: What a Coincidence, You Also Have a "Friend," Huh?
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Just thinking about it scares me. I absolutely cannot end up with trash like Yu Xiaogang in the future.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Sisters, if one day I meet a scumbag, you must remind me! Or else my grandpa really will slaughter his entire family!]
[Cat in the Shadows: Meeting scum isn't the scary part. The scary part is realizing you can't change anything and have no power to choose.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: As much as I want to mock Bibi Dong… looking at the situation now, she really is pretty pitiful.]
[I Am an Orphan: Pitiful, my ass. The ungrateful wolf brought it upon herself. Whose fault is it if she was blind and brain-dead?]
[Group Member No. 9: Every pitiful person has a hateful side.]
[Carrot Lover: Bad woman, I refuse to feel sorry for you.]
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong slowly closed her eyes in pain.
She had never considered one question before— What would her life have been like without Yu Xiaogang?
She didn't know the answer, but deep down she already understood.
It definitely would've been better than meeting him.
Without Yu Xiaogang…
She might still be that innocent, lively girl.
She might have become a true Pope who genuinely wanted to bring prosperity to the continent.
[Bibi Dong: Faster! Hurry! Hurry up! I want to see Yu Xiaogang seducing his cousin! I want to see Yu Xiaogang seducing his cousin! I want to see Yu Xiaogang seducing his cousin!]
[I Am an Orphan: ???]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Su Yan, Her Holiness's condition is getting worse. What should we do?]
[Carrot Lover: It's over! The bad woman has really gone insane this time.]
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong couldn't take it anymore.
Damn it.
Bibi Dong, you lunatic.
If you want to lose your mind, fine—but what the hell are you rambling about?
You…
[My Surname is Not Yu: Bibi Dong, that's enough! What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with you?!]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Slurp—we didn't even get to eat the melon, and the person involved already exposed herself.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Looks like Her Holiness guessed correctly earlier.]
[Carrot Lover: Who?]
[Group Member No. 9: Liu Erlong.]
[I Am an Orphan: Judging from her reaction, her mental state isn't great either.]
[The Moon of My Childhood: In this situation, nobody's mental state would be good.]
Nuoding Academy.
It was lunchtime. As usual, Xiao Wu brought Su Yan, Wang Sheng, and a few of Su Yan's roommates to the second-floor cafeteria.
Xiao Wu was loaded now.
Her generosity left everyone stunned.
Su Yan could only curse this little rabbit in his heart— A damn nouveau riche.
Damn it.
Why couldn't he be the one who got rich overnight?
"Ahem."
After hesitating for a long while, Su Yan looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Little rabbit… lend me a bit more money so I can test my luck?"
Xiao Wu was about to agree, but suddenly her expression hardened.
"No!"
"Not a single coin!"
Su Yan was speechless. "What's wrong? Afraid I won't pay you back? Or that I'll run away with the money?"
"Heh!"
Xiao Wu smirked proudly.
"I'm afraid that once you have money, you won't come looking for me anymore! So after you're done with your business and come find me, I'll treat you to delicious food every day!"
You know what?
This little rabbit really has grown a brain.
[Su Yan: Due to Bibi Dong's overwhelming demand, the Spirit City arc is over. Next, we begin Yu Xiaogang's continent journey.]
[Su Yan: After being forcefully separated by Qian Xunji, Yu Xiaogang began wandering the Continent, met his good friend Flender, and then immediately hooked up with his cousin Liu Erlong.]
[Su Yan: Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang's cousin. Blood-related!]
[Su Yan: First, we had Tang Yuehua developing feelings for her own brother, then Yu Xiaogang dating his own cousin, and in the middle, we have the Dai and Zhu families with their generations of intermarriage.]
[Su Yan: I truly have to admire this Love Continent: traveling the continent creates love triangles, siblings produce incest, and even a pervert like me thinks this is too damn perverted!]
[Everyone: ???]
Moon Pavilion.
The ever-elegant etiquette master Tang Yuehua twisted her ankle and almost fell onto the lawn the moment she read that line.
"Pavilion Master…"
The attendants behind her rushed forward to help her up.
Tang Yuehua was utterly shaken, her soul almost leaving her body. The secret buried deepest in her heart had been exposed in front of everyone. She was happily watching the drama… only for the plot to suddenly fall right onto her own head?
How was she supposed to show her face ever again?!
"I—I'm fine. Help me get back to rest."
Tang Yuehua's voice trembled uncontrollably.
This was terrifying. Truly terrifying.
How could Su Yan even know something like this?
Heavens above, was this kind of secret something that could be known by other people?!
—
Crown Prince's Manor.
Qian Renxue was also completely dumbfounded.
Wait.
Tang Yuehua?
Wasn't that the Moon Pavilion's Tang Yuehua? Xue Ke's teacher, Tang Yuehua?
Good lord!
She finally got to eat a first-hand melon from someone else's family!
[I Am an Orphan: 6.]
[Carrot Lover: Humans are way too scary.]
[Seven Treasure Little Princess: I have a question. Do you think Tang Yuehua might actually be in the group?]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: No way, right? Eating melons right in front of the person involved? That's way too exciting.]
[Group Member No. 9: This chat group brings me so much joy.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Not joyful at all.]
Zhu Family.
Zhu Zhuqing also had no face left.
Joyful?
Joyful, my ass!
She was also watching a melon, only for it to slam right onto her own head. The Dai family was a bunch of heartless lunatics.
For the sake of stabilizing their throne, for the sake of some so-called Martial Soul Fusion Skill, for the sake of "power"…
Absolutely deranged.
To put it bluntly—
Occasional marriage between cousins wasn't unheard of in noble families, but who the hell tied their bloodline together generation after generation after generation?!
Zhu Zhuqing was honestly grateful she was born lucky—thankfully, she didn't end up with a few extra arms or legs!
[Bibi Dong: Why are you unhappy? Don't tell me… you're actually Tang Yuehua?]
[Carrot Lover: Oh my god?!]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Are we seriously eating this melon right in front of the people involved? Every single one?]
[Seven Treasure Little Princess: Too insane. Sisters, this world is truly insane.]
Back in the Zhu Family—
Zhu Zhuqing was numb.
[Cat in the Shadows: Fine, just treat me as Tang Yuehua then!]
Huh??
Moon Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua was completely stunned.
'Wait.'
'They think you're Tang Yuehua, so who the hell am I supposed to be?!'
[The Moon of My Childhood: Heh.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Su Yan, you don't need to say it. My friend is Liu Erlong. When my friend and Xiao Gang were together, neither knew the other's real identity.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: And nothing happened between them!]
[Cat in the Shadows: Classic.]
[Seven Treasure Little Princess: So classic.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: I can't—We already guessed who you are. How do you still have a "friend"?]
[Hu Liena: Wow, what a coincidence. You also have a "friend," huh?]
[Bibi Dong: Hurry up and change your username! Stop spouting nonsense.]
[Su Yan: Don't change it yet. If you change it, I'll feel a bit embarrassed to scold you too harshly. If you don't change it, I can add a few more vicious lines.]
[Carrot Lover: I'm Su Yan, and I love saying little bits of truth.]
[Seven Treasure Little Princess: Hahahaha!]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Yeah, don't change it yet! If you change it now, we'll feel bad making fun of you too hard. Wait until the matter's over, then change it.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: ???]
