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

Ma Hongjun led the way, a vague and unreadable smile plastered across his chubby face.

Dan Heng instinctively averted his gaze. Though he never paid much attention to people's appearances, he had encountered many faces on the train, yet none had ever looked as lewd as the one before him.

He didn't like it…

"Brother-in-law, listen to me! The moment I saw you, I knew you've never been to a heavenly place like that before. Today, I'll take you there and let you have a taste of true pleasure!"

Ma Hongjun chuckled sinisterly, his smile oozing vulgarity.

That Dai Mubai guy actually wanted to win favor by giving gifts? How could that possibly compare to his own brilliant plan?

He would take his brother-in-law straight to a brothel!

There's an old saying: "Men who have carried each other's legs form the strongest bonds!"

After this experience, he refused to believe he wouldn't gain his brother-in-law's support!

Dai Mubai could just wait to cry his eyes out!

"..."

Dan Heng frowned slightly but still followed Ma Hongjun's lead. Despite having read many books, he truly had little knowledge of the subject at hand.

"Have a taste of true pleasure?!"

"A heavenly place?!"

These words, when put together, felt strange no matter how he thought about them.

However, he had to admit that Ma Hongjun might indeed be more knowledgeable in this area. Having spent years in a small town, he had never really explored much.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun was grinning from ear to ear, filled with anticipation for the wonderful future ahead!

In his mind, he had already pictured the perfect scene—when he pursued Zhu Zhuqing, Dan Heng would support and assist him!

And then, Dai Mubai would be left seething in anger, clenching his teeth in despair!

Before long, they arrived at a relatively secluded street. The shops on both sides bore no clear signs of what they sold, but all were adorned with pink silk and lanterns.

Under the pink-hued glow at the entrances, scantily dressed women stood, creating a strangely seductive atmosphere.

Sweeping his gaze across the area, Dan Heng took in the sight of the entire street. His frown deepened as a mixture of unfamiliar and unpleasant scents invaded his nostrils.

In an instant, he formed his first impression.

He would absolutely never like this kind of place!

Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth, glanced around, and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't have much money, but since I'm treating you, it has to be the best! If I have to tighten my belt later, so be it!"

Clutching his belt as if preparing for hardship, Ma Hongjun led the way toward the most lavishly decorated establishment on the second floor.

He was determined—if he wanted to win Dan Heng over, he had to go all in!

"..."

Dan Heng had already started to guess what this was all about.

This place had a peculiar and distinct atmosphere, its nature self-evident.

Even without prior knowledge, his instincts told him exactly what it was.

Just as he was about to refuse, the women standing in front of the establishments turned their gazes toward him, their eyes gleaming like those of hungry wolves.

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you something. Around here, they call me 'Little Red Dragon of the Waves'! I know this place like the back of my hand…"

Ma Hongjun couldn't resist showing off his years of experience frequenting these establishments.

In his mind, all men fell into two categories—either they had already indulged in such pleasures, or they were simply reserved and would eventually give in!

The next second, the women at the doors all surged forward.

Over twenty women began running toward them at once.

"???"

Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded.

Could it be that, for the first time in his life, he was finally being mistaken for a wealthy patron and was about to experience the thrill of being in high demand?

Turning to Dan Heng, he warned, "Brother-in-law, be careful around these temptresses! They're all fixated on your money—don't fall for their sob stories."

"They'll tell you their father is a gambler, their mother is sick, they have a young brother to support, and that they themselves are kind-hearted and sensible…"

Ma Hongjun hastily passed on his wisdom.

If one got tricked by a brothel woman, no amount of money would ever be enough to satisfy them!

Dan Heng remained silent, sweeping his gaze around.

The women had already surrounded them, their heavily made-up faces burning with desire as they stared at him.

"Ladies! I—"

Before Ma Hongjun could finish his sentence, several hands reached out at once, grabbed him, and threw him aside.

Despite being a Grand Soul Master, Ma Hongjun was easily cast out by a group of women.

"..."

Dan Heng opened his mouth slightly, realizing he had stirred up trouble!

"Handsome, come with me! I won't charge you anything! I just want to be with you! I promise I'll take good care of you—I can do anything to make you feel good!"

"Come to me, I'll pay you instead! As long as you come with me, I'll give you whatever you want!"

"I even have a younger sister…"

"..."

The women swarmed around Dan Heng, chattering excitedly like a flock of birds.

Ma Hongjun stared blankly at the scene before him.

As someone well-versed in brothels, he had never seen anything like this.

Never before had he witnessed a group of prostitutes go this wild over a man!

Glancing at Dan Heng's refined appearance, Ma Hongjun's face twitched.

"Since when did even prostitutes start caring about looks?"

Just as more women pushed past him, Ma Hongjun suddenly had a realization. Without a second thought, he turned and sprinted away.

Meanwhile, back at the hotel where Shrek Academy was staying.

Zhao Wuji was in the middle of scolding Ning Rongrong. Because of this little troublemaker, he had almost offended a Title Douluo.

Now that he had learned the truth—that Dan Heng had never even provoked Ning Rongrong in the first place—his anger flared even more.

Pointing a finger at her, he bellowed, "Ning Rongrong! You're a Soul Master, not a child anymore! You—"

Before he could finish, BANG!

The door burst open.

Ma Hongjun dashed in, drenched in sweat. But upon seeing Zhao Wuji, he immediately froze.

Originally, he had rushed back to spread the word—having seen the chaos surrounding Dan Heng, he had thought he might get a free pass and even pull Tang San and Oscar into it to earn their gratitude.

But he couldn't let Zhao Wuji find out…

"Fatty! Did you go looking for that family?" Zhao Wuji suddenly narrowed his eyes at him.

Ma Hongjun's entire body jiggled with a nervous shudder.

Zhao Wuji had repeatedly forbidden them from causing trouble for Dan Heng's family. If he got caught, he was done for!

"Of course not, Teacher Zhao! I wouldn't dare disobey your orders! I did go to see them, but I made sure that Dan Heng was very happy!"

Ma Hongjun quickly spouted nonsense.

Zhao Wuji squinted at him suspiciously. "Really?"

Ma Hongjun, assuming all men shared his interests, nodded vigorously. "That's right! He should be extremely happy right now! If you don't believe me—"

"Take me to see him!" Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up.

If Ma Hongjun had truly established a good relationship with Dan Heng's family, then perhaps he could use this opportunity to earn the favor of a Title Douluo!

This was an opportunity he couldn't pass up!

Ma Hongjun, however, looked miserable. He didn't want to go—Zhao Wuji was too much of a brute to understand romance!

"Teacher Zhao, maybe we should just—"

"Stop wasting time!" Zhao Wuji snapped. He was already too impatient to wait!

Ma Hongjun could only sigh and lead the way.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena arrived at the library with a meal box in hand, but Dan Heng was nowhere to be found.

After asking the librarian, she learned that he had been taken away by a red-haired fatty.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, recalling Ma Hongjun's face.

"Nana, that fatty looks really sleazy. I think…" The librarian pulled her aside, voicing his concern.
