Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.

Zi Ji widened her beautiful eyes, her seductive demeanor fading considerably, now replaced entirely by irritation.

Although dragonkind wasn't as particular as humans, picking up ice yangmei from the ground and then eating the rest of them still made her stomach churn, as if she had swallowed poison.

And all of this was caused by the old pervert in front of her!

Zi Ji clenched her fists, itching to land a punch on Dan Heng's young and handsome face.

Just a few words had left her in such an embarrassing state, yet he still wore that calm and indifferent expression.

Was he trying to tell her that dealing with her required no effort at all?

"Di Tian, the old pervert I'm dealing with is even more troublesome than you expected!" Zi Ji snorted, slamming the plate onto the table heavily before sitting across from Dan Heng.

Dan Heng's eyelid twitched slightly as he glanced at Zi Ji.

This aggressive "little sister-in-law" was even angrier now.

She reminded him of Blade—that guy who was like a raging fire. No matter what Dan Heng did, he would only end up adding fuel to the flames.

So, he chose silence and avoidance.

"You should rest here for now. Gu Yuena will be back soon. I'm feeling a bit tired, so I'll head to the bedroom first..." Dan Heng said as he walked toward the adjacent bedroom.

He had barely taken a few steps before hearing Zi Ji following him.

This troublesome "little sister-in-law" was just as persistent as Blade, haunting him like a specter.

As soon as he reached the doorway, Zi Ji let out a mocking laugh.

"This is hilarious! A grown man like you actually sleeps with a pink blanket? How did you even choose such an ugly thing? And that pillow—it's hideous beyond words!"

Zi Ji pointed at the items on the bed, mercilessly criticizing them.

Dan Heng turned his head, looking at Zi Ji in surprise.

Do girls not like this color?

Seeing his expression, Zi Ji thought she had hit the mark and continued her assault. "And that stuffed toy—what even is that? A giant water snake? It looks worse than something a three-year-old would make!"

"..." Dan Heng remained silent, calmly looking at her.

"Brother-in-law, you're not mad, are you? I tend to speak bluntly, but I don't mean any harm. It's just that your taste is really terrible." Zi Ji giggled.

Since this old pervert liked this kind of teasing, he deserved to be bullied.

Consider it advance interest for the suffering she might endure in the future!

Dan Heng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think that way. Also, I didn't choose those things..."

His previous blankets had all been replaced. Now, everything in the room had been handpicked by Gu Yuena.

One thing was certain—regardless of their appearance, they were undeniably comfortable to sleep in.

"???"

Zi Ji was momentarily stunned. Wait, no way…

Dan Heng nodded and continued, "Your sister, the person standing behind you, is the one who bought them."

"!!!"

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Zi Ji's back.

She might be willing to throw herself into the fire for her master, even offering herself up as a sacrifice, but her reverence for her master was absolute.

The Silver Dragon King was the ruler of the dragon clan, while she was just a young dragon among their ranks.

And she had just been mocking the Silver Dragon King's taste?

Worse yet, she had been overheard?

Zi Ji slowly turned around, her gaze landing on Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing, who had just arrived behind her.

The moment she saw Gu Yuena, her body trembled.

Even though Gu Yuena was currently in her youthful form, the suppression from their shared bloodline made Zi Ji afraid to even look her in the eye.

"Mas... Mas—"

"Are you cold?" Dan Heng asked.

"..." I want to kill you, you bastard! Are you deliberately making fun of me?!

Zi Ji screamed internally, wishing she could drag Dan Heng to hell with her.

Gu Yuena had also been slightly surprised to find Zi Ji here in person. She had expected her to approach in secret, not to come straight into the house and even interact with Dan Heng.

Had Zi Ji exposed her true identity?

If Dan Heng misunderstood and thought she had approached him intentionally, wouldn't that affect their relationship?

"Cousin!!!"

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji called out to each other at the same time.

"..."

The two women locked eyes, momentarily stunned.

Zi Ji forced a tearful smile and said, "Cousin, I came to visit you. Are you happy to see me? Brother-in-law hosted me just now, but... but he bullied me..."

The moment she spoke, she felt like crying.

"???"

Dan Heng was dumbfounded. Wait, no, you can't just make things up!

How had he bullied her?

Was she deliberately trying to frame him?

What could she possibly gain from this? Did she want this ten-gold-spirit-coin courtyard?

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes but quickly realized that Zi Ji hadn't exposed her identity.

She could guess that Di Tian must have said something to make Zi Ji hold a grudge against Dan Heng.

But in the process, she had ended up offending her instead? Mocking her taste?

"Zi Ji, come, let's have a little chat," Gu Yuena said with a faint smile, taking Zi Ji's hand. Though her smile was beautiful, Zi Ji could sense the hidden threat behind it.

She had to stop Zi Ji from targeting Dan Heng any further!

As the two women left the house, Dan Heng returned to the main hall. Before he could sit down, he faintly heard a voice outside, pleading for mercy.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he continued toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"What have you been struggling with in your training recently?" he asked.

Zhu Zhuqing had indeed accumulated some doubts, which she shared without hesitation.

Dan Heng nodded slightly, answering each question with precise insight, barely needing to think.

It was like a college student returning to a kindergarten classroom—his knowledge seemed boundless in comparison.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly took notes, growing more and more aware of Dan Heng's vast expertise.

At that moment, Gu Yuena and Zi Ji reentered the room.

Gu Yuena still had a faint, unreadable smile on her face—somewhere between enchanting and innocent.

Zi Ji, however, followed behind her, her face bright red.

It was as if someone had smeared two layers of rouge on her cheeks—so red it was alarming.

Dan Heng's mouth twitched slightly, unable to hold back his amusement.

Zi Ji's aggrieved expression was even more entertaining than March 7th's exaggerated antics when she tried to make him laugh.

As soon as Zi Ji looked up, she saw the mirth in Dan Heng's eyes. She bit her lip in frustration.

It was all this old pervert's fault!

Her master had pinched her cheeks so hard and warned her not to cause any more trouble.

Since she had already acknowledged their "sibling" bond in front of Dan Heng, she had to act accordingly from now on.

She even had to apologize…

"Zi Ji, why are you just standing there? Didn't you have something to say to your brother-in-law?" Gu Yuena smiled slightly. Though her expression was beautiful, it carried a distinct sense of coercion in Zi Ji's eyes.

Zi Ji hesitated but eventually stepped forward.

There was no turning back now. For the sake of her master, she had to follow through!

She moved closer—so close that her chest nearly pressed against Dan Heng—wrapped her arms around his neck, licked her lips seductively, and let out a sultry sigh.

"I'm soooo sorry~"
