Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 214: Scaring Zi Ji to Tears!

Dan Heng needed to find the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon to collect data, and that presented a problem.

Even though he had unmatched strength in the world, finding someone—especially searching the entire Douluo Continent for the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon—was not his strong suit.

He knew that the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon preferred to live near volcanoes.

But searching one by one might not even give him a chance to encounter it.

Should he trouble Qian Daoliu again?

The Spirit Hall's influence stretched across the entire Douluo Continent, making it the most convenient option.

Meanwhile, the two great empires were still mainly composed of ordinary people; they didn't dare venture into remote wilderness areas and naturally couldn't search in dangerous places.

In the library, Qian Daoliu noticed Dan Heng's distress and eagerly said:

"Mr. Dan Heng, if there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to ask! No need to be polite!"

Qian Daoliu's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Dan Heng.

Winning Dan Heng's favor would be more valuable than anything!

Dan Heng paused in silence for a moment, then shook his head and declined.

Even if Spirit Hall helped with the search, it would likely take half a year or longer to find the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon.

Not to mention the amount of trouble it would involve—he didn't want to owe Qian Daoliu too many favors.

"No need. Oh, and thanks for those books."

Dan Heng shook his head, refusing politely.

Qian Daoliu answered awkwardly, but he hadn't given up deep down.

He secretly peeked at Dan Heng's notes, hoping to find clues about what Dan Heng was struggling with, so he could volunteer to help!

"Aside from Spirit Hall, if Mr. Dan Heng wants to accomplish anything related to soul masters, there's no better assistance than us!"

Qian Daoliu was extremely confident.

When it came to soul master matters, Spirit Hall was undoubtedly the top choice!

At noon, with Gu Yuena absent for lunch, Dan Heng requested leave and decided not to come back for the afternoon.

After Qian Daoliu arrived and didn't see Dan Heng, he was left puzzled.

"Where could Mr. Dan Heng have gone?"

"If I had known his wife wasn't around, I might've invited him out myself... maybe he would have agreed..."

Qian Daoliu was filled with regret.

Meanwhile, Dan Heng had once again arrived at the Divine Realm!

At the Divine Realm's gates, seven first-level gods were on patrol.

Having learned from last time, Dan Heng didn't try to enter from the "main gate" again. Instead, he broke through the Divine Realm's barrier and sneaked in.

Once inside, he rushed urgently toward the Sea God's Palace.

With a flash of green light, he sped to the Sea God's Palace.

Inside the Sea God's Palace, Poseidon was studying a divine formation. Feeling Dan Heng's arrival, he immediately turned to look.

"Ha! Dan Heng! You actually came! What a rare guest!"

Poseidon stepped forward and grabbed Dan Heng's arm warmly.

Dan Heng stated bluntly:

"I need your help with something."

"What is it? I've been bored to death here! Talk to me..." Poseidon said miserably.

"I want to find the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon. You must have some artifact in the Divine Realm that can oversee the Douluo Continent. Help me find it."

Dan Heng didn't hold back. After all, he and Poseidon had known each other for a thousand years—their relationship was extraordinary.

Poseidon gave Dan Heng a melancholy look:

"You came all the way here just for that? I thought you came especially to see me!"

"You don't know—after you left last time, you pissed off the God of Destruction so badly. He's still trying to find an excuse to make trouble!"

"Why don't we just teach him a lesson again this time?"

Poseidon said excitedly.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly.

"I don't want to stir up trouble. Poseidon, just this one thing. Once you find it, find a way to send me a message. Hurry—start now if you can."

A day in the Divine Realm was equivalent to a year in the lower realm.

Dan Heng couldn't afford to wait too long.

Poseidon's mouth twitched slightly, and a deep grievance appeared on his face.

His old friend treated him completely like a tool now, huh?

"Can't we at least have a drink first?" Poseidon asked.

Dan Heng simply shook his head and, without hesitation, turned into a green streak of light and left the Sea God's Palace.

"..."

Poseidon sighed helplessly and then rode a wave toward the center of the Divine Realm.

Dan Heng had only ever asked for his help twice.

He would definitely do his best.

"Hopefully that bastard Destruction isn't hanging around..."

When Dan Heng returned from the Divine Realm, work hours weren't over yet, so he went back to Lanba Academy.

Qian Daoliu had already left.

Although the old man didn't have any pressing duties now, he couldn't just sit around waiting for Dan Heng either.

Dan Heng sat behind the service desk reading, but Gu Yuena's smiling face kept floating into his mind.

Her soft voice calling him "husband" made his heart restless.

"So this... is longing?" Dan Heng was slightly stunned, clutching his chest. At last, he understood the feeling.

Before, he had experienced something similar—but it had been faint.

Now, though, it was strong enough to affect his entire spirit.

He closed the book, took out a brush, and began to paint—to calm his mind by capturing Gu Yuena's image.

He finished almost in one breath.

It was as if he had recreated the Gu Yuena in his heart.

A white dress, eyes full of tender affection.

Of course, only Dan Heng could enjoy this version of Gu Yuena.

"What a lucky woman."

Suddenly, a voice spoke.

Dan Heng had been so immersed in painting that he hadn't noticed someone approaching. He quickly looked up—and saw Bibi Dong standing nearby.

Dan Heng frowned slightly at the sight of her.

This woman, to him, was nothing but trouble!

Bibi Dong sighed. Her phoenix eyes, upon seeing Dan Heng, filled with deep sorrow.

This was her man!

Dan Heng asked coldly:

"What are you doing here?"

Bibi Dong replied faintly:

"Can't I come here?"

"This is Lanba Academy, not Spirit Hall."

Dan Heng spoke bluntly and unkindly.

He had to—he could afford to be more gentle with others, but not with Bibi Dong.

Because her feelings for him were different.

Bibi Dong shook her head slightly, a bitter smile playing on her lips. Her voice was weak.

"Clearly I am your woman. Why should she..."

Bibi Dong's gaze grew misty as she stared at Dan Heng.

She spoke as if she truly believed it herself.

Dan Heng frowned, sensing the dangerous delusion creeping over her.

He said sternly:

"Please behave yourself. I have only one wife. There's nothing between you and me."

Bibi Dong's face stiffened. She stared at Dan Heng with a wounded, resentful look and asked:

"Dan Heng, can't you spare even a little tenderness for me?"

"Do you know, every night I think of you... dream of you... Watching you tangled with that woman breaks my heart..."

The more she spoke, the more deeply the negative emotions devoured her.

It was as if Dan Heng really had betrayed her.

Dan Heng stepped back slightly, gazing at Bibi Dong's sorrowful eyes, and immediately realized—

This woman, desperate to escape reality, had even deceived herself!

"Enough! Bibi Dong, stop with your delusions! You should know, there was never anything between us. It's all in your head."

Dan Heng's voice grew heavier, shaking Bibi Dong's spirit slightly, forcing her to regain clarity.

Bibi Dong came to her senses, her eyes clearing for a moment.

She gave Dan Heng a deep, lingering look, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Dan Heng continued painting.

This little hobby he had casually picked up was now improving at a remarkable speed!

...On the other side, just as Bibi Dong stepped out of the library doors, she was blocked by two women — Bi Ji and Zi Ji.

In fact, it was mainly Zi Ji causing trouble, dragging Bi Ji along to block her way.

Bibi Dong shot them a cold glance and said, "Get out of the way!"

Zi Ji sneered when she heard that. "A woman like you dares to tell me to get lost? Looks like you really don't know your place!"

As she spoke, Zi Ji immediately unleashed her soul power.

The bloodline of a top-tier dragon-type soul beast, soul power at the level of a fierce beast — her strength was almost equivalent to a Rank 98 soul master!

In an instant, Bibi Dong's face turned pale and she staggered back a few steps.

At this distance, even she would suffer heavily!

Bibi Dong stared intently at Zi Ji, realizing the other's identity... a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

And her strength might even surpass her own!

If this woman wanted to harm Dan Heng...?

Bibi Dong immediately became anxious.

Zi Ji continued, "We are our brother-in-law's little sisters-in-law! There's a saying, 'half a little sister-in-law's butt belongs to her brother-in-law' — you get what that means. Don't fight with us over him!"

"???"Bibi Dong stared at Zi Ji, thinking — Is this fierce beast an idiot?

Bi Ji's face turned instantly red, protesting unhappily:

"Zi Ji, stop talking nonsense! That's too much... What if someone hears..."

Zi Ji slapped Bi Ji's butt lightly and glanced at Gu Yuena nearby.

She signaled that these words were deliberately said for Bibi Dong to hear.

Bi Ji shook her head helplessly and explained, "Our brother-in-law is Mr. Dan Heng..."

"!!!"Bibi Dong froze. "You two..."

These fierce beasts had actually become Dan Heng's wives?In the world of soul masters, this was a huge taboo!

Wasn't the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall in the past caused by a similar situation?

Zi Ji said proudly, "That's right! Brother-in-law is Dan Heng! Dan Heng is brother-in-law! He likes our big sister very much, and he likes us two little sisters too! Oh, and that little girl Zhu Zhuqing! But he just doesn't like you! You alone are disliked by brother-in-law!"

Zi Ji pointed at Bibi Dong, giggling mischievously, clearly trying to provoke her.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth upon hearing this, fury rushing straight to her head.

She really wanted to kill this sharp-tongued beast right now!

However, her rationality hadn't completely abandoned her...

This wasn't the right time to deal with Zi Ji!Besides, she might not even be a match for Zi Ji!

Bibi Dong let out a cold snort, bypassed the two women, and quickly left.

Zi Ji still wanted to chase after her to continue mocking, but Bi Ji pulled her back.

"Don't be like this, Zi Ji. Enough is enough."

Zi Ji pouted and said, "Bi Ji, you're just too soft-hearted! We need to make her give up completely!"

Bi Ji shook her head, refusing to let Zi Ji continue messing around.

Watching Bibi Dong's figure disappear, Zi Ji glared at Bi Ji, poked her forehead, and said, "You're such a burden!"

Bi Ji looked at Zi Ji with a wronged expression but didn't explain herself.

"Later, you have to stand on my side and help convince brother-in-law to cook for us at noon! Got it?"

"..."Bi Ji didn't respond, but her eyes flickered with a trace of excitement.

If they could eat brother-in-law's cooking at noon, that would be the best!

...

Two days later.

As usual, Dan Heng headed to work in the morning. As he reached the entrance, he saw several groups of people quickly entering Blue Tyrant Academy.

Liu Erlong was trying to block them at the door but gave up helplessly after a middle-aged man, who exuded a commanding presence, said something to her.

As Dan Heng approached, Yu Xiaogang happened to come out.

"... Erlong, what are you thinking? Trusting the word of a mere librarian and doubting your own brother?"

"I'm staying here personally. I want to see who dares to cause trouble! We're just forming an alliance, not overthrowing anyone!"

Yu Yuanzhen said coldly.

"Uncle, it's not like that..." Liu Erlong said helplessly.

Dan Heng walked past them, intending to avoid the trouble, but Yu Xiaogang spotted him and smiled:

"Father, this is Dan Heng — good-looking, insightful, but ultimately limited by his narrow vision."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, sighing with an air of superiority.

Seeing Dan Heng arrive, Liu Erlong immediately grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Dan Heng! Please tell them — it's really dangerous right now!"

She was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Yu Yuanzhen scrutinized Dan Heng, coldly snorting but refraining from saying anything rude.

Dan Heng glanced at them, then shook his head and said, "I'm just a librarian."

He shook off Liu Erlong's hand and entered through the academy gates.

He wasn't interested in thankless tasks.

Besides, even if he spoke up, without concrete evidence, it would only be brushed off as speculation — who would believe him?

Liu Erlong was close to tears, chasing after Dan Heng.

"Mr. Dan Heng..."

Yu Yuanzhen grabbed her arm and said, "Enough, Erlong. I've tolerated you long enough. How could you trust a librarian? Moreover, he's closely tied to Spirit Hall. Later, we'll have someone watch him — we can't let him report to Spirit Hall!"

"???"Liu Erlong froze, dumbfounded, staring at Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen sneered and recounted the first time he met Dan Heng — how Dan Heng had been seen mixing with Qian Daoliu.

"So, don't be fooled by him! If anything happens, it'll be on him!"

Yu Yuanzhen snorted, feeling clever.

Yu Xiaogang added, "Besides, he probably didn't expect that today everything will be finalized! Once the alliance is formed, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be the leader! We might even challenge Spirit Hall's authority one day!"

"Alright, Xiaogang, go handle things."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and left briskly.

At that moment, Liu Erlong suddenly realized — the timing Dan Heng mentioned — it was now!

"No, Uncle, I get it now — now is the most dangerous time!"

Liu Erlong said in panic.

Yu Yuanzhen's face turned unpleasant, and he said coldly, "Enough! Erlong, stop causing trouble! Xiaogang is already handling it — what could go wrong?"

"But..."

...

Inside a grand hall.

Dozens of representatives from various soul master factions had gathered.

All of them had been "talked into" coming by Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang walked up to the stage, smiled slightly, and looked down at the gathered soul masters, feeling a surge of pride.

"Everyone..."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted.

"Alright, since everyone's here, shall we begin?"

The speaker was Hu Yanzhen from the Elephant Armored Sect.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned."Begin what? I'm supposed to be hosting this meeting!"
