Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 135: The Price of One Night for Dan Heng

Tang Yuehua glanced in Dan Heng's direction, her eyes lighting up slightly.

She had innate soul power at level nine, but it was locked, meaning she could never increase her soul power by even a bit. However, she possessed the unique ability called the Noble Circle, which made her the first lady of the world.

Graceful, noble, and beautiful, these qualities had almost become her trademarks.

At the same time, she could use the Noble Circle to sense the temperament of others, whether they embodied the true essence of a noble identity.

Among all the guests present, only about ten people truly fit the profile of a noble.

The most obvious one was Dan Heng.

He almost exuded the aura of an aristocrat from birth, and even Tang Yuehua couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority when looking at him. It was like the feeling a commoner might have when facing a noble. She looked at Dan Heng's eyes with admiration.

Dan Heng was definitely no ordinary person!

With such an aristocratic aura, even the likes of the Snow Night Emperor and Ning Fengzhi didn't possess such a presence.

Who exactly was he?

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

"Teacher?" Snow Ke, the princess, was still softly complaining when she noticed Tang Yuehua's distracted state and looked at her in confusion.

Tang Yuehua snapped back to reality, smiled slightly, and said, "Maybe he just likes peace and quiet..."

"But if he likes peace and quiet, why would he come to this event? Could it be that he's here for you, teacher?"

Snow Ke couldn't help but become suspicious.

Despite her princess title and youthful beauty, she understood she couldn't compare to Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua pursed her lips, though she hadn't seen his true face and hadn't interacted with him directly, her intuition told her that Dan Heng was special.

"Probably not... He is different from the other nobles," Tang Yuehua shook her head and said.

"Different?" Snow Ke became even more curious.

The reason she had approached Dan Heng was due to his unusual aura, and now, hearing Tang Yuehua say this, she felt her assumptions had been correct.

At that moment, a noblewoman walked towards Dan Heng.

Snow Ke saw this and tightly clutched Tang Yuehua's arm, snorting lightly. "Mrs. Lister is... bothering him again."

Tang Yuehua, intrigued, turned her gaze to Dan Heng.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

Mrs. Lister was known throughout the Empire of Tiandou as the most beautiful and wealthiest widow. Her fame was immense, and countless men had fallen at her feet, willing to give up everything for her.

There were rumors that even the Snow Night Emperor and the current Prime Minister were her lovers.

And now, she was approaching Dan Heng, who was seated in the corner.

"Ah, Mrs. Lister smiled. That sly fox-like woman, she's really too unbearable, always with that seductive smile..."

"That man won't be able to hold out much longer. No man can resist Mrs. Lister's charm."

Snow Ke snorted, her tone dripping with jealousy.

Tang Yuehua gently patted Snow Ke's hand and frowned, saying in a low voice, "Snow Ke, it's not proper to gossip about others behind their backs."

"I'm sorry, teacher. I... I understand..." Snow Ke lowered her head in shame, murmuring, "I was just upset. It won't happen again..."

She wasn't just upset, though; she was worried. If Dan Heng was captured by Mrs. Lister, it would mean she, as a woman, had been defeated by Mrs. Lister.

It was like a duel between men; no one wanted to be inferior to others.

"But in fact, even Mrs. Lister's beauty isn't all-powerful. There are still men who can reject her," Tang Yuehua chuckled softly.

Snow Ke looked up in surprise. She saw that, from across the room, Mrs. Lister's smile had frozen. After briefly nodding at Dan Heng, she turned and walked away.

It was obvious to everyone—Mrs. Lister had failed.

She hadn't been able to seduce that man!

Mrs. Lister was the second most talked-about person in the room, just after Tang Yuehua. To be rejected by a man was unprecedented.

The guests couldn't help but gossip, their curiosity piqued by this "mysterious" man.

Though Mrs. Lister was famous for her beauty and charm, no one had ever been able to turn her down. Not only was her body exquisite, but she also possessed wealth that could rival nations.

And yet, now someone had dared to reject her.

"Hey, that man... does anyone know who he is? Since he's here at Yue Xuan, he must be a noble, right?"

"I can't tell, but based on his clothes, he seems like an ordinary noble. Probably a fallen noble."

"Really a fallen noble? But how could he reject Mrs. Lister?"

"..."

The guests whispered quietly among themselves. As nobles, they would never confront Dan Heng directly for rejecting Mrs. Lister. But, of course, they couldn't help but gossip—it was one of the pleasures of the elite, speculating about someone's identity.

They were filled with curiosity and envy towards Dan Heng.

Though Mrs. Lister had been with many men, her lovers were usually powerful or talented, or sometimes, just handsome youths.

To noble women, keeping a pretty young man was not considered a big deal—it was just a form of distraction.

So, for a man to be chosen by Mrs. Lister was a form of honor.

Among the men present, only three or five had ever shared a night with her.

Mrs. Lister finally approached Tang Yuehua and Snow Ke.

Her beauty was quite different from Tang Yuehua's. Her features were sharper and more striking, exuding a kind of aggressive allure, and a fragrant aroma surrounded her.

"Yuehua, who is that man?" Mrs. Lister licked her lips, looking at Tang Yuehua with a knowing gaze.

"Every guest's privacy is not something I can disclose; that would be quite impolite," Tang Yuehua smiled and shook her head.

Mrs. Lister sighed, casting a lingering glance at Dan Heng before shaking her head.

"It's such a pity... He must be quite a catch. I offered him a million Gold Soul Coins to spend a night with me, but he didn't even budge."

"!!!"

Tang Yuehua and the other guests around them gasped in shock.

A million Gold Soul Coins was enough to cover the taxes of an entire province!

Mrs. Lister was willing to offer such a huge sum, and what was even more outrageous was that Dan Heng had rejected her?

"Perhaps, only you, Yuehua, could win him over. Maybe he's here for you after all. After all, you are the most exquisite jewel here."

Mrs. Lister winked at Tang Yuehua before turning and leaving.

Tang Yuehua's face flushed slightly as she tried to hide her embarrassment.

"I'll go see for myself how he rejected her."

Snow Ke, having heard Mrs. Lister's words, became even more curious.

Tang Yuehua took a deep breath and her voice echoed across the entire hall.

"Everyone, I have a newly created instrument here..."
