Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 246: The Impatient Gu Yuena

The Next Day

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena entered the Academy together.

Though they appeared unchanged on the surface,the two had barely slept the night before— they had almost skipped making breakfast altogether.

If it were ordinary people, by now they wouldn't just be utterly exhausted— at the very least, they'd be pale and gaunt, with massive dark circles under their eyes!

Dan Heng arrived at the library alone and spotted two familiar figures pacing anxiously at the entrance from afar.

It was Zi Ji and Liu Erlong.

Both of their faces were filled with excitement.

"!!!" Dan Heng paused briefly in surprise, then looked again—next to Liu Erlong was the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon.

At this moment, it had broken through the threshold of a thousand-year soul beast and reached the ten-thousand-year rank— a clear sign that its bloodline fusion had succeeded, and previous limitations no longer restrained it!

It worked!

Dan Heng quickly strode over.

But Liu Erlong and Zi Ji rushed down to meet him,one on either side, each grabbing an arm.

"Dan Heng (Brother-in-law)! It worked!"

The beautiful faces of the two women were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Dan Heng smiled slightly and turned to look at the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon approaching them.

"Roar...!"

The Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon let out a low growl.

Liu Erlong said, "It slept deeply last night, and when it woke, it seemed completely transformed—almost reborn. Is this what you were aiming for, Mr. Dan Heng?"

Zi Ji quickly patted her chest and added seriously, "I told you that bastard couldn't be trusted, right? Luckily, I was there! Brother-in-law, your good fortune is thanks to me—I made a huge contribution! Don't forget to praise me in front of my sister!"

Dan Heng chuckled, "Alright..."

Now that the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon's bloodline had fused successfully,he only needed a little help from the Goddess of Life for his plan to be complete.

While the Goddess's help would be ideal,there were other, slightly less perfect alternatives as well.

Either way, it seemed that his and Gu Yuena's child might soon be on the way!

At that moment, Poseidon, the Sea God suddenly appeared behind Dan Heng.

Seeing the transformation in the dragon, he exclaimed in surprise, "It succeeded?"

Zi Ji rolled her eyes. "Obviously! With me overseeing it, how could it not work? If you hadn't been useless last time, we'd have succeeded then!"

"..."

Poseidon twitched visibly at the mouth.

But soon, he regained his composure and smiled, nodding. "Yes, yes, all thanks to Miss Zi Ji. I truly didn't do well enough..."

"Damn right!"

Zi Ji had never heard of humility, looking quite smug.

Poseidon then took a conch shell from his robe and said,"I have no face left to speak with my sister-in-law. This gift is for her—please give it to her on my behalf. Let it serve as a token of the time we've spent guarding together."

Poseidon smiled broadly, obviously trying to flatter Zi Ji.

Zi Ji shot the grey conch an unimpressed glance, curled her lip, and said, "Just this thing? And you're okay giving it as a gift?"

Poseidon seemed immune to mockery. Completely shameless, he sighed,

"I had to come in a hurry. I didn't have time to prepare anything better... Next time, I promise to bring something nicer!"

Zi Ji huffed, snatched the conch away, and muttered,

"Fine. Since you at least did something useful, I'll help deliver this to my sister. But remember, don't go running your mouth in front of her again."

"Of course, of course."

Poseidon nodded earnestly.

Only then did Zi Ji beam with joy. Turning to Dan Heng, she immediately changed her expression like flipping a switch and said cheerfully:

"Brother-in-law, tonight let's talk about it together at home, okay?"

Zi Ji's eyes sparkled—clearly up to something.

Dan Heng nodded lightly."Sure. We are still missing a few things. I'll need Poseidon to run an errand for me."

Poseidon immediately understood what Dan Heng meant and shrugged.

"Fine, fine... I rarely get to come here, and now I'm just an errand boy!"

...

Dan Heng sent Zi Ji away.

He also reassured Liu Erlong, telling her to observe the soul ring's attributes for a while and see if they would naturally evolve.

After the two women left, Dan Heng returned to the service desk and began testing.

The results were excellent.

Not only had the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon's two bloodlines completely fused,

but it now exhibited talents from both parent species and even possessed reproductive capabilities.

Now, the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon could be considered a true species.

"Mr. Dan Heng, I have something I'd like to consult you on..."

Qian Daoliu suddenly appeared and spoke.

Dan Heng looked up and gave a slight nod. "What is it?"

Qian Daoliu had helped him before, even transforming a certain power in Dan Heng's bloodline into "information"— but it still required the purification power of the Angelic Holy Sword to shatter it, and the Goddess of Life's matter to stabilize it. Only then could their future child awaken that "information" again.

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and asked directly:

"It's like this... I am the inheritor of the Angel God's legacy, but I've been stuck on the Eighth Trial, seemingly with no hope of advancement. But I have a feeling that if my spiritual realm could reach your level, I might have the potential to truly become the Angel God. Do you think... my intuition is correct?"

After speaking, Qian Daoliu looked at Dan Heng anxiously,as if waiting for a death sentence.

Dan Heng was silent for a while and looked deeply at Qian Daoliu.

He understood the Angel God's legacy very well—

After all, he had contributed quite a bit when Qian Yuhan attained the Angel God's position.

"Mr. Dan Heng... I was presumptuous."

Qian Daoliu suddenly said.

He gave a bitter smile, feeling like he was grasping at straws.

Though Dan Heng was likely a powerful divine being,

How could he possibly understand something as specific as the Angel God's inheritance?

"It really is a matter of your spiritual state. Now that the Angel God's divinity is awakening, this is your chance. Try to communicate with it. Open your heart—it might reach out to you on its own."

Dan Heng said slowly.

"Eh?" Qian Daoliu was stunned.

Was that even possible?

He had practically begged on his knees before and received no response from the inheritance.

And now it might come to him?

Only because Dan Heng said so—otherwise, he wouldn't believe a word of it!

"...I understand."

Qian Daoliu bowed deeply to Dan Heng in gratitude.

Dan Heng waved a hand. "You've helped me. I'm simply returning the favor."

"No, no..."

Qian Daoliu dared not accept that.

His respect for Dan Heng had deepened, treating him entirely as a divine being now.

"Mr. Dan Heng, one more thing. What is your relationship with the three upper sects? If you care about them, the Spirit Hall will avoid harming them in the future."

Dan Heng shook his head.

"You don't need to consider me. But if peace is possible, it's always better than war."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.

"I understand..."

Had he known of Dan Heng's power earlier, he might never have started that war.

Now that peace was an option, he was willing to follow Dan Heng's will.

As long as Spirit Hall maintained absolute power, the upper sects would not dare go down with them in mutual destruction.

Especially once he became a god, the upper sects would have no chance for revenge.

"I'll find a time to explain things to them."

Qian Daoliu said with a smile.

After work

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena walked home together, strolling beneath a tall wall, with a tagalong behind them.

Gu Yuena held Dan Heng's arm,but there was a little female dragon behind them, and she seemed unusually shy, unlike her usual clingy self.

Even her usual flirty words couldn't come out.

"What are you following us for?"

Gu Yuena turned and frowned.

Zi Ji jumped in fright and gave a sheepish smile, looking expectantly at Dan Heng.

"Brother-in-law..."

Gu Yuena grew more confused. She wasn't in a good mood already, and now Zi Ji was acting weird.

If Dan Heng weren't here, she'd have taught Zi Ji a lesson.

After all, Zi Ji had dared to wear her clothes!

She still hadn't questioned her about that!

Dan Heng smiled and said, "It's something good. Zi Ji... did contribute, so she wanted to come with me and tell you."

Gu Yuena pursed her lips. "It's already good enough if she doesn't cause trouble, and now you're saying she did something useful?

Probably just clinging to you and demanding credit!"

"..."

Dan Heng gave Zi Ji an odd look.

As expected, true sisters think alike.

She saw right through Zi Ji instantly.

Zi Ji looked pitifully at Dan Heng, nearly in tears.

She clasped her hands and bowed toward him like a prayer.

Dan Heng added,

"Well... she was helpful. She does deserve some credit."

"What is it? Husband, is it some surprise you prepared for me?"

Gu Yuena's large eyes sparkled brightly as she looked at Dan Heng.

She stopped in her tracks, as if sensing something.Stars seemed to glimmer in her eyes.

From a distance, Zi Ji silently sighed and slipped into a shadowy corner.

She knew this wasn't her moment to be present.

Dan Heng held Gu Yuena's waist and said softly, "If everything goes well, I've found a way for us to conceive a child."

"!!!"

Gu Yuena's eyes went wide with shock.

Her heartbeat suddenly pounded louder.

Dan Heng could clearly hear it and feel her increasingly ragged breath.

Gu Yuena clung tighter to his arm and asked urgently, "Really? Husband, you're not lying to me?"

Dan Heng gave her a warm smile and asked back,"When have I ever lied to you?"

"!!!"

Tears welled up in Gu Yuena's eyes.

Touched, surprised, overjoyed—A wave of emotions surged in her heart, like a blazing fire igniting her entire being.

Her expression changed from frustration to radiance and excitement.

She raised her hands, wrapped them around Dan Heng's neck, tiptoed, and kissed him hard.

Dan Heng was pushed back by her strength, leaning against the tall, green wall behind them as Gu Yuena passionately claimed his lips.

The couple embraced as if no one else existed.

Thankfully, no one was around to witness the scene, or it would surely have drawn attention.

In a dark corner, Ziji rubbed her eyes and muttered, "So much sand..."

Looking at the couple who had completely forgotten about her, she lowered her head and took out the conch shell.

"When big sister gets back, I'm going to show off in front of Biji and Zhu Zhuqing!"

"I'm not just freeloading here!"

...

Dan Heng was almost flying through the door, being dragged by Gu Yuena like a kite in the sky.

"Bang...!"

The loud slam of the door startled the three women inside, and all their gazes turned toward them.

Gu Yuena immediately announced, "We're not eating tonight. Biji, you cook dinner. Settle it yourselves!"

"Ah... yes, big sister..." Biji replied, a bit dazed.

Gu Yuena was about to pull Dan Heng straight into the bedroom.

Dan Heng let her lead him without resistance, but he could barely keep a straight face. He didn't dare look at Biji or the others.

In this kind of situation, it seemed like he was the passive one!

"Wait! Big sister! There's something I need to tell you... it's very important!"

Ziji suddenly appeared at the door and quickly shouted.

Gu Yuena, hearing the urgency in her voice, stopped and glanced back. "What is it?" she asked.

Ziji lifted her chin proudly and declared:

"Big sister, I'm not like Biji or Zhu Zhuqing..."

"Cut the nonsense!" Gu Yuena snapped coldly.

Ziji shrank back, her pride immediately vanishing.

She quickly stepped forward and handed the conch shell to Gu Yuena.

"It's from Poseidon—he asked me to give it to you. He helped me a little, just a tiny bit. Of course, his contribution can't compare to mine..."

Ziji pinched her fingers together, indicating a tiny sliver of space between them.

Gu Yuena ignored her antics and looked at the conch in her hand.

She activated her divine power, and the conch suddenly vibrated.

In the next second, under everyone's puzzled gazes, the conch emitted a voice.

"...I'm telling you, a lot of people say the younger sister-in-law is..."

Ziji's voice came through loud and clear.

From her smug tone, they could easily imagine how self-satisfied she had been while speaking.

And it wasn't just self-praise— She even shamelessly belittled Biji and Zhu Zhuqing, acting as if she were the only reliable one in the household, and that the family would fall apart without her.

Biji and Zhu Zhuqing's faces turned quite sour.

Ziji... she was bad-mouthing them outside like that?

Ziji's mouth fell open in shock as she stared blankly at the conch in Gu Yuena's hand.

So this was the "gift" Poseidon asked her to deliver?

What a big gift indeed!

If this had happened in another setting, her sister might have killed her for it!

At that moment, Ziji didn't even dare to move.

She was trembling, soaked in cold sweat.

"Crack...!"

Gu Yuena suddenly crushed the conch in her hand and gave Ziji a deep look.

But she didn't say anything. She simply held Dan Heng's arm tighter and rushed straight into the room.

"..."

When the sound of the door closing echoed—

Ziji finally let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground like a boneless heap.

Biji looked at Ziji, opened her mouth as if to say something, then just shook her head slightly and walked away.

Even her gentle temperament had been hurt by what Ziji had said!

Ziji had gone too far!

Zhu Zhuqing gave Ziji a cold look and thought: This woman is beyond saving!

She turned to Zhu Zhuyun and said, "There's no dinner from teacher tonight. You're not going to skip dinner, are you?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuyun's expression froze. She wanted to say she was going to fast...

But if she said that, Zhu Zhuqing would think she had gotten picky and would only eat food made by Dan Heng!

"...Of course not," Zhu Zhuyun said tearfully.
