Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 138: Gift

Dan Heng's small courtyard.

The light in the master bedroom was still on.

Zi Ji pulled Bi Ji into the courtyard, pointed at the master bedroom, and whispered,"Did you see that?"

"See what?" Bi Ji looked confused.

"That lech... Brother-in-law hasn't come back! He must be out fooling around somewhere!" Zi Ji said with certainty.

Bi Ji shook her head. "Impossible. Brother-in-law isn't that kind of person."

Zi Ji immediately became unhappy. The little Bi Ji, the lowest in the household hierarchy, actually dared to refute her?

"What do you mean 'impossible'?"

"Have you never heard of the saying on the Douluo Continent, 'You can know a person's face, but not their heart'? There's also another one: 'There are no cats that don't steal fish, and no men that don't fool around'!"

"That guy learned bad habits in less than a year! What a scoundrel!"

Zi Ji huffed, speaking sourly.

"Huh? But I still think Brother-in-law wouldn't do such a thing."

Bi Ji remained unconvinced. She trusted her own feelings more—Brother-in-law gave her a very clean impression.

He couldn't possibly be as disgraceful as Zi Ji claimed!

Zi Ji glared at Bi Ji. "Do you think I wouldn't know better than you? I've lived here much longer!"

"..." Bi Ji fell silent, looking at Zi Ji with a deep gaze.

She recalled how, when she had first arrived, Zi Ji had actually tried to offer her to 'Xue Qinghe'.

Being stared at like that, Zi Ji suddenly felt guilty.

Cough, cough. "Alright, let's talk seriously! Bi Ji, you saw it—Brother-in-law hasn't returned, and Sister is now all alone, very angry!"

"You can't deny that, right?"

Zi Ji waved her fist, looking rather indignant. "Brother-in-law dared to do this. Isn't it only natural for Sister to be upset?"

Bi Ji let out an "oh" and looked at Zi Ji, still not understanding what she was trying to get at.

"So?"

Zi Ji continued, "So, how do we get back at him? Very simple—we ignore him!"

"This way, we can show our stance!"

"And then, if he comes back later, we go over and pressure him, asking him why he came home so late!"

Zi Ji said with a mischievous grin.

A thought forming in her mind.

Bi Ji hesitated. "This... doesn't seem very nice?"

"What do you mean 'not nice'? Today he dares to come home late, tomorrow he'll dare to bring back some vixen!"

Zi Ji's voice suddenly rose. Midway through her words, she quickly covered her mouth and whispered.

Just then, the courtyard gate opened.

Dan Heng entered from outside and locked the door behind him.

Immediately, Zi Ji pulled Bi Ji over to block Dan Heng's path. They stood in front of him, hand in hand, not letting him pass.

Dan Heng glanced at the brightly lit master bedroom.

Through the window, he could see Gu Yuena still reading on the bed.

A slight warmth rose in his heart—it wasn't too late yet.

He took a step forward, but Bi Ji and Zi Ji remained in his way, refusing to let him through.

"What are you two doing?" Dan Heng asked, puzzled.

Bi Ji's face turned red as she tried to let go and move aside, but Zi Ji held her tightly, preventing her from breaking free.

Zi Ji huffed, moved closer to Dan Heng, and sniffed the air.

"Brother-in-law, why... why do you smell like another woman?!" Zi Ji asked through gritted teeth.

Her bright eyes were filled with anger.

There were already four absolute beauties in the house, and he still went out to flirt with some random woman?

Zi Ji ground her small white teeth, her gaze lingering on Dan Heng's neck and shoulders, thinking about how to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

Dan Heng explained, "I attended a banquet. Maybe I picked up some scent there."

"A banquet? You mean the kind where men and women... mingle?"

Zi Ji spoke so bluntly it could kill.

Bi Ji covered her mouth in shock, staring at Dan Heng with wide eyes.

Her face was full of disbelief—she never imagined that the Brother-in-law she looked up to would do something so shameless.

Dan Heng looked helplessly at Zi Ji. "Enough messing around. I'm going to rest."

Zi Ji huffed and was about to say more, unwilling to let him off.

"Zi Ji, what are you trying to do? Don't block your Brother-in-law."

Gu Yuena's voice suddenly came from behind them.

Zi Ji turned around and saw Gu Yuena calmly looking at her.

Zi Ji immediately quieted down, let go of Bi Ji's hand, and obediently stood aside. But her big eyes were still glaring at Dan Heng indignantly, as if saying, "This isn't over!"

—

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena returned to their bedroom.

Gu Yuena remained silent as she walked ahead of Dan Heng.

Her white silk nightgown revealed plump, fair thighs. The curve of her legs was exquisite, and as she walked, they brushed against each other in an entrancing rhythm.

She didn't say anything, only swayed her slender waist.

Dan Heng looked at her back. Even though Gu Yuena hadn't said a word, he could sense a trace of resentment.

"I went to Yue Xuan's banquet."

With that one sentence, Gu Yuena stopped in her tracks and turned toward Dan Heng. She reached out to unbutton his shirt.

With a sweet smile, she said softly,"Husband, it's normal for men to socialize outside. You don't have to explain anything to me... No matter what you do, I will support you."

Dan Heng continued, "Mr. Ning told me that they have jewelry there that no woman can refuse."

"..." The fake smile on Gu Yuena's face disappeared.

She had been a bit upset earlier—Dan Heng had stayed out so late that their baby-making plan had been delayed.

But now, hearing his explanation, her heart trembled, and she looked at him expectantly.

"Husband, you..."

Dan Heng took out a jewelry box and handed it to Gu Yuena.

"I don't think I've ever given you anything before. This is for you." Dan Heng's lips curled slightly, though the smile was still a bit stiff.

Gu Yuena's eyes turned hazy, and her gaze on Dan Heng was nearly devouring.

Without saying anything, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him fiercely.

They entangled for nearly half an incense stick's time before separating, Gu Yuena's face flushed red.

All her dissatisfaction was gone.

Her husband had braved trouble just to get her a gift!

If she still acted petulantly, she'd be in the wrong!

Snuggling into Dan Heng's embrace, she opened the jewelry box. Inside, a white gemstone necklace shimmered under the candlelight.

"Husband, put it on me."

Gu Yuena's voice was sweet and sultry.

Dan Heng nodded, took the necklace, and looked at her stunningly beautiful face.

Indeed, compared to his wife, that so-called Lady Lister was nothing but ordinary.

As he fastened the necklace, Gu Yuena wrapped her arms around his neck again.

"Husband, do I look beautiful now?"

Her eyes burned as she gazed at Dan Heng.

Dan Heng nodded slightly.

The next second, a burst of force came, and he was thrown onto the bed.

"Husband, let's have a child today!"

------------------------------------

Moon Pavilion.

Tang Xiao jumped in through the window, his burly figure making him look more like a villain intent on abducting a fair maiden.

Tang Yuehua was playing the piano. When she saw Tang Xiao patting his clothes and scattering a large cloud of dust, she couldn't help but frown.

"Big Brother, why would you jump through the window when there's a perfectly good door?"

Tang Xiao chuckled. "Yuehua, I didn't want to bring trouble to you. You probably don't know yet, but the Pope of the Spirit Hall has arrived."

"Come to Heaven Dou City? What is she doing here?"

Tang Yuehua asked in confusion.

Tang Xiao shrugged. "Who knows? It's probably because of the Grace Decree. Interesting, isn't it? Xue Qinghe does have some skills. He might even push the Spirit Hall into a desperate corner."

There was a trace of schadenfreude in Tang Xiao's tone. The enmity between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall was nearly irreconcilable.

Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly, uninterested in investigating the reason behind the Spirit Hall's visit.

At the same time, she didn't believe that Xue Qinghe and his advisors could have come up with such an ingenious strategy on their own. There must have been an expert guiding them behind the scenes.

After a brief silence, she asked, "Big Brother, the person I asked you to find..."

"How am I supposed to find him, Yuehua? That's like looking for a needle in a haystack. And why do you want to find him?"

Tang Xiao asked helplessly.

A man who disappeared overnight, without any identity, name, or distinct characteristics—finding him would be an impossible feat.

Tang Yuehua's expression stiffened slightly. She had indeed made an unreasonable request.

"Big Brother, I've made a plan for you to follow. Look—"

As Tang Yuehua explained, Tang Xiao looked at her suspiciously.

Tang Yuehua noticed his expression and forced a dry laugh. "Big Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Xiao circled around Tang Yuehua, stroking his chin. "Something's not right... not right at all..."

"What isn't right?" Tang Yuehua asked, puzzled.

"You're actually taking the initiative to ask about a man. Yuehua, have you finally come around and decided to find a good husband?"

Tang Xiao laughed heartily.

Tang Yuehua's face turned red with embarrassment. "Big Brother!!! What nonsense are you spouting? I just wanted to ask about this piece of sheet music!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you straight back!"

She fumed.

"Alright, alright, I won't say any more..."

Tang Xiao laughed, unconcerned, but in his heart, he was more certain than ever.

His sister was already over forty.

If she was finally moved by someone...

Even if he had to tie that man up and bring him here, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip away!

The Next Day.

The couple arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy.

As always, Dan Heng was quietly reading in the library.

Not long after, Ning Fengzhi also arrived. He sat down beside Dan Heng, likewise holding a book in his hands.

Ning Fengzhi had grown fond of this peaceful atmosphere.

It was like a mental retreat.

However, today, he found himself unable to fully focus. He kept glancing at Dan Heng from the corner of his eye, his thoughts unsettled.

After a few more looks, he finally spoke when Dan Heng finished the book in his hands.

"Mr. Dan Heng, yesterday... you made quite an impact. Even the current momentum of the imperial examination reform has been overshadowed."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Dan Heng frowned slightly. He had merely attended a banquet and hadn't interacted with anyone. How could he have caused such an effect?

"What happened?" he asked in confusion.

Ning Fengzhi smiled. "After you left, Lady Lister publicly announced that she was offering a 'golden bounty' to uncover your identity and that she intended to pursue you. She also declared that from now on, she would remain chaste."

"..."

Dan Heng was speechless. He recalled that heavily made-up woman.

To be honest, he hadn't liked that style at all and had shown no interest.

Yet somehow, this had led to trouble for him?

Ning Fengzhi continued, "In the aristocratic circles, Lady Lister is almost as famous as Mistress Tang. She abruptly dismissed her many lovers, which only made people even more curious."

"..."

If he had known this would happen, Dan Heng would have completely ignored her presence instead of simply rejecting her.

"Even Emperor Xue Ye brought it up in court, asking if anyone knew your identity. After all, the bounty is a million gold soul coins."

Ning Fengzhi stared at Dan Heng, observing that his expression remained unchanged.

"I trust you won't reveal my identity?" Dan Heng asked.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "Of course not. I promised you, and I will never let anyone find out."

"Thank you."

Dan Heng nodded slightly, then dismissed the matter from his mind.

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, grew even more impressed with Dan Heng.

Despite being an ordinary person without a trace of soul power, he had managed to capture the heart of a fierce soul beast.

Well-read, extraordinarily knowledgeable, an expert in martial soul theory, medicine, and the arts—it seemed there was nothing Dan Heng didn't know.

If possible, Ning Fengzhi truly wished he could invite him to become an honored guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Elsewhere, at the gates of Blue Tyrant Academy, a group of soul masters dressed in blue-green uniforms arrived. Most of them were young, looking energetic and confident.

After exchanging a few words with the gatekeeper, Liu Erlong soon appeared.

The visitors were none other than Thunderclap Academy's delegation, coerced into coming by Liu Erlong herself.

Among them were two members of the Thunderclap Battle Team, as well as a teacher leading the group. However, there was also someone Liu Erlong had no desire to see.

"Erlong! Why do you look so unhappy upon seeing your father?"

Yu Luomian frowned.

Liu Erlong snorted coldly. She showed no sign of excitement at seeing her biological father.

"Why are you here?"

Yu Luomian's face stiffened. His unfilial daughter—she couldn't even show a shred of gratitude in front of so many people?!

"If not for me, do you think Thunderclap Academy would have sent its top students here?"

"Also, I'm quite curious myself. You seem so confident—just how strong is this year's Blue Tyrant Battle Team?"

Yu Luomian said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Erlong's expression lit up with pride. She smirked, saying, "Just wait and see! Our Blue Tyrant Battle Team is definitely going to defeat Thunderclap Academy!"

Yu Luomian was even more intrigued.

Thunderclap Academy was one of Heaven Dou Empire's renowned elite academies. Where was Liu Erlong's confidence coming from?

Just then, a young man strode forward from behind.

"The team trained by my aunt? I'm quite looking forward to it." He smiled. This was Yu Tianxin's cousin, Yu Tianxin.

Liu Erlong patted Yu Tianxin's shoulder with a grin.

"You won't be disappointed. And this is only our team's current strength. As time goes on, our Blue Tyrant Battle Team will improve even more!"

"Now, come and see for yourselves—our Blue Tyrant Battle Team is no longer what it used to be."

"Because... we have the best teacher!!!"
