Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 364: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Does Yu Luomian love Liu Erlong and Liu Erlong's mother?

Of course, he does. It could even be said that Liu Erlong's mother was the woman Yu Luomian loved most in his entire life. He didn't care at all that she had once been a courtesan and cherished her as the love of his life.

At that time, Yu Luomian did have a wife, and he did indeed love her. But their marriage could only be described as a compromise at best.

After all, in soul master families, much like in noble families, arranged marriages were very common. His marriage with his wife was one based on status, and while the two didn't dislike each other, it couldn't be considered genuine love. Everything had been arranged by their families. Once they had a child, it was like completing a task.

Yu Luomian seeking out his true love might sound improper, but in that era, it was actually a relatively normal thing.

However, the problem was that his background and status made it impossible for him to bring a courtesan into the clan, no matter how much he loved Liu Erlong's mother. At that time, his strength and position weren't enough to allow him to do such a thing.

To be clear, back then, Yu Luomian was still young and far from his current level of power and status. Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was only an elder at the Soul Sage level. There were many elders and seniors ranked above him.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was extremely proud and valued their bloodline immensely.

Not only would they refuse to allow someone improper to enter their clan, but they would also actively eliminate any illegitimate bloodlines left outside the clan.

Back then, Yu Luomian had to work very hard to hide Liu Erlong and her mother in a small town, where he provided them with the best care possible. He ensured their existence was kept secret to prevent the clan from taking action against them.

When he discovered that Liu Erlong's martial soul had awakened as a Fire Dragon instead of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Yu Luomian felt both disappointment and relief. He was disappointed because it meant he couldn't formally bring Liu Erlong and her mother into the clan registry. However, he was relieved because it meant his daughter wouldn't have to face the same restrictions he did within the clan. As her father, he could give her as much freedom as possible.

Later on, even when there were tensions between father and daughter, Yu Luomian still did everything he could to clean up her messes. Though he never appeared openly, he secretly dealt with countless problems behind the scenes.

For example, when the Golden Iron Triangle roamed the continent, their eccentric personalities and their use of the Triangular Martial Soul Fusion Technique attracted many enemies. Quite a few people wanted to quietly kill one of them to retaliate against the other two. It was Yu Luomian who stepped in to deal with these threats.

It could be said that while the Golden Iron Triangle was blazing a path forward, Yu Luomian was quietly cleaning up the mess behind them.

At that time, it wasn't just about his daughter. He was also looking after his nephew, Yu Xiaogang. After all, before Yu Xiaogang left the clan, his relationship with Yu Luomian had been quite good. Yu Xiaogang's soul rings were even obtained with Yu Luomian's help.

After Yu Xiaogang left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to join Spirit Hall, many people wanted to label him as a traitor and have him killed in the future. It was Yu Luomian who stood by Yu Yuanzhen's side, despite not knowing how to justify it, that prevented the clan from sending someone to assassinate Yu Xiaogang.

Even when Yu Xiaogang left Spirit Hall and roamed the continent, it was Yu Luomian who gritted his teeth and sent people to protect him, ensuring he wasn't killed early on.

To be honest, from Yu Luomian's perspective, it didn't matter if Liu Erlong fell in love with Flender. Although it would leave him a bit sad, he would still support his daughter's choice.

After all, although Flender wasn't particularly handsome, he did have decent talent. He was shrewd and frugal but deeply loyal. He truly cared for Liu Erlong, so Yu Luomian believed she wouldn't face serious problems in the future.

However, he simply couldn't understand why his perfectly fine daughter, as if brainwashed by some illusion spell, would fall for someone like Yu Xiaogang—and be so devoted to him at that.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang, that fool who called himself a theory master, had read countless materials in both the clan and Spirit Hall. Yet, he still failed to recognize that Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon martial soul was a variation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

That idiot. Yu Luomian had sent people to hint at this dozens of times. He even arranged for soul masters in the clan with Fire Dragon variations to appear around them, yet that fool just acted like he didn't see it.

(To be fair, Yu Xiaogang wasn't pretending not to see it—he genuinely couldn't understand the connection between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Fire Dragon.)

As the two were about to get married, Yu Luomian had no way to step in and sabotage the wedding. He could only follow behind Liu Erlong, cleaning up her messes. After the wedding was disrupted, Liu Erlong flew into a rage and massacred an entire soul beast forest. Again, it was Yu Luomian who cleaned up, spending money to silence witnesses and prevent Liu Erlong from being labeled a fallen one and sent to the Slaughter City by Spirit Hall.

Later, when she finally calmed down and decided to focus on the education field, Yu Luomian gritted his teeth and spent everything he had to establish Blue Tyrant Academy for her.

However, because this academy brought no benefits to the clan and even required clan resources to maintain, Yu Luomian was nearly ousted from his position as the second-in-command. It was only thanks to his elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen, stepping out of seclusion to bear the pressure that he managed to hold his position. Yu Yuanzhen even hoped to help Liu Erlong move on from Yu Xiaogang.

Recently, Yu Luomian, who had reached Level 89, broke through to become a Title Douluo after absorbing a soul bone obtained by Yu Yuanzhen during a hunt in the Star Dou Forest. He became the second Title Douluo in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

During a later hunt for the Azure Bull Python, Yu Luomian even risked his life to take a fatal blow for his elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen. This act solidified his unshakable position within the clan. In some ways, he had become the second of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. With Yu Yuanzhen's indifference to power, Yu Luomian's presence even overshadowed that of the clan leader.

The first thing Yu Luomian did after returning to the clan was to arrange for Liu Erlong and her mother to be added to the clan registry. He also doubled the resources allocated to Blue Tyrant Academy to make up for his love and devotion to Liu Erlong and her mother.

He then personally moved his lover's grave into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ancestral grounds, forcing the burial of a former courtesan into the clan that valued bloodlines above all else.

After all this, he secretly visited Blue Tyrant Academy to talk to Liu Erlong, sharing his thoughts and actions from over the years. This finally helped the emotionally closed-off Liu Erlong return to a semblance of normalcy, easing the strained relationship between father and daughter.

At this moment, as Liu Erlong repeatedly rebuked him with words like "I only need Xiaogang; I don't need an irresponsible father," the decades of suppressed anger in Yu Luomian nearly erupted.

No love? No care? No family bond?

His eldest son hadn't spoken to him for a long time after learning the extent of his care for Liu Erlong. And that was supposed to be "no love or care"?

His wife, upon finding out he had moved Liu Erlong's mother's grave into the clan, had, for the first time in decades, unleashed her fury on him. With the strength of a Soul Sage, she summoned her martial soul avatar and chased him—a Title Douluo—around, even demolishing half their home in the process. It took immense effort to barely placate her.

Yu Luomian believed that everything he had done over the years was enough to make up for what he owed Liu Erlong.

Did she think his cultivation resources just fell from the sky? That all the people who helped him were kind souls? That Lan Ba Academy was established purely by chance?

More than half of his wealth and a third of his energy over the years had been spent on her!

Looking at Liu Erlong's face, Yu Luomian repeatedly reminded himself that this was the child of the woman he loved most—the only thing she had entrusted to him before her death. He owed her too much. Only then did he barely resist the urge to slap Liu Erlong and knock out all her teeth.

But Liu Erlong, consumed by her love-struck obsession, remained oblivious as she continued her verbal assault on her father.

Seeing Yu Luomian's flushed face and clenched fists, Flender, who had somewhat regained his strength, could only open his mouth to try to calm Liu Erlong down and speak on Yu Luomian's behalf. His efforts barely kept the situation from escalating into a fight.

Chen Ming watched the scene in silence, while Dugu Bo was thoroughly entertained. If eating sunflower seeds in stealth mode wasn't inappropriate, he might have done it. Watching this family drama unfold, Dugu Bo felt like he could snack on it all night.

The internal conflicts of a top-tier noble family, the grudges between father and daughter, the entanglements of multiple generations—the self-doubt of an older brother who left the clan and the love between a sister unaware of her bloodline, and the arguments between father and daughter...

It was just too damn entertaining! Too damn explosive!

While Dugu Bo might appear youthful on the surface and his mindset had improved, deep down, he was still an old man. And no matter the world, old men simply couldn't resist a good family drama.
