Gu Yuena looked at Zhu Zhuqing, sizing her up and down, her brows furrowing slightly. This girl was rather...gifted!
Although her looks were undoubtedly superior, she was utterly defeated in one area.
She looked like just a young girl, so why did she have such a large mass?!
A strong sense of crisis rose in Gu Yuena's heart.
She couldn't help but recall that afternoon when a loser boasted about his good figure, saying it was a man's most irresistible asset.
But compared to the girl before her, that loser was incomparable.
"Young lady, who are you? What are you doing here with my husband?" Gu Yuena said with a forced smile.
Zhu Zhuqing honestly replied, "I want to become his disciple."
"..." So, she wanted to start with a master-disciple relationship?
Gu Yuena took a deep breath and said, "Unfortunately, he's just an ordinary person. As you can see, he doesn't even have soul power, so he can't give you any guidance."
Gu Yuena blocked the doorway, preventing Zhu Zhuqing from entering.
Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, wanting to say that Dan Heng was no ordinary person. How could he be weak when he could instantly knock out a group of black-clad men at least Soul Venerable level using only his physical strength?
But seeing Gu Yuena's defensive demeanor, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dan Heng, who was about to enter the house.
"You…I want to learn from you! I…"
Dan Heng seemed not to hear her and went straight into the house.
Gu Yuena also turned back, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
"You see, my husband doesn't want to be your teacher either." Gu Yuena smiled, spreading her hands. This dangerous guy had to be kept out!
Zhu Zhuqing's expression worsened, seemingly becoming much more depressed.
"Then…I'll take my leave."
Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
Gu Yuena watched her retreating figure, feeling a victor's joy.
This kind of crushing defeat was a pleasure she had tasted for the first time today, and she naturally liked it.
Turning back, she wondered if not letting Zhu Zhuqing even into the door would make Dan Heng dislike her.
Thinking this way, she couldn't help but feel anxious and uncertain.
She tiptoed into the room and immediately smelled the aroma of food.
From the moment she was "born" until now, she had never smelled anything like it.
Fragrant, warm, and with a comforting, homey scent.
She paused for a few seconds before remembering what it was.
"Food...?"
Gu Yuena recalled a chubby, seemingly unsuccessful man from that morning who claimed to be the best cook and certain he could conquer Dan Heng's stomach.
She now believed in the importance of conquering someone's stomach; at this moment, she was enveloped in a tremendous sense of happiness.
She had truly struck gold!
Where could she find a husband like this?
No, she should take the initiative to cook for Dan Heng, to make him inseparable from her, to make him love her to death, so that he could be motivated to strive for the greatness of the Beast God once more!
Now, Gu Yuena felt a little insecure.
This wife, besides being beautiful, seemed to lack many qualities...
Just then,
Dan Heng carried in two plates of food and placed them on the table.
Seeing Gu Yuena's conflicted expression, he didn't ask any questions.
To him now, Gu Yuena was simply a "roommate," and he didn't want to get involved in her life.
Gu Yuena sat opposite Dan Heng, eagerly picking up a bite of food and putting it into her rosy lips.
Her eyes lit up instantly, her face beaming with happiness.
"Delicious! Delicious!"
Dan Heng remained silent, quietly eating his meal.
"You're so amazing," Gu Yuena sincerely praised.
As she spoke, Gu Yuena's chopsticks moved with surprising speed.
Dan Heng had prepared twice the amount he wanted, but in the end, he only ate half full.
Gu Yuena wiped her lips, which seemed to be coated with a layer of oil, making them even brighter and more lustrous, tempting one to take a bite.
"Husband, husband..."
Dan Heng hadn't noticed at first, only realizing later that the other person was calling him.
"You can just call me by my name, it's Dan Heng."
"Yes, my husband! Your cooking is so delicious!" Gu Yuena nodded in praise.
Dan Heng hummed in response.
Gu Yuena, unwilling to accept Dan Heng's indifference, tentatively asked, "Husband, I chased that younger sister away, aren't you angry?"
Dan Heng shook his head, paused for a moment, and then explained the whole story to her.
"...Her martial soul should be the Netherworld Cat, and she's from the Zhu family of Xingluo. The fact that those men in black were chasing her suggests she's a princess consort of the Xingluo royal family, so she won't be in danger, and I don't want to get involved."
Dan Heng had studied for seven years without a single day of neglect, and his understanding of the Douluo Continent was very clear.
Since Gu Yuena was his "roommate," it was best not to let her get involved and disrupt his peaceful life.
Gu Yuena seemed struck by lightning, muttering, "The Crown Princess
of the Star Luo Empire...?" The initial test of her three-year plan to become emperor and five-year plan to slay gods, which she had devised for Dan Heng during the day, was to dominate the Douluo Continent.
Now that she had encountered the Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire, wouldn't she be able to seize the opportunity to expand her power?
It was a small test, and yet she had actually driven her away?
Gu Yuena's pretty face changed, and she got up and left.
Dan Heng glanced at her in surprise, without asking any questions.
...
Zhu Zhuqing left Dan Heng's courtyard and continued north.
Unable to receive Dan Heng's guidance, she could only proceed with her original plan to find Dai Mubai.
But as soon as she left the small town, she was surrounded by men in black.
The men in black all stared at Zhu Zhuqing, trying to discern whether she had been bullied.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing was unharmed, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second Miss, surrender, you can't escape!"
a man in black said in a formulaic manner.
If they truly wanted to capture a young girl like Zhu Zhuqing, with the power of the Star Luo royal family, she wouldn't even be able to escape, let alone travel all the way north to the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Therefore, they were merely putting on a show, waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to find a way to escape.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was frosty as she stared intently at these people, quickly devising a plan. At
the same time, she completed her Martial Soul Possession, appearing like a mysterious catwoman, with two yellow soul rings rising from beneath her feet.
"How can I escape...?" Zhu Zhuqing was completely focused. Just then, a melodious voice rang out. "Make way, don't frighten my husband's disciple." The men in black all turned to look, only to see a girl in a white dress gracefully approaching. "!!!" A look of astonishment flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. Just a short while ago, this woman had driven her away. Why was she now helping her? "They are all Soul Masters, don't come near!" Zhu Zhuqing immediately warned. "Soul Masters? Are they very powerful?" Gu Yuena chuckled, her skirt fluttering as she flashed forward. (End of this chapter)
