Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 200: Owe Gu Yuena a Marriage Proposal

"Saint, huh..."

Qian Renxue turned back for a glance, thinking of Dan Heng's image.

A flicker of complexity passed through her eyes.

It seemed... not that hard to accept after all.

Qian Daoliu's face was still filled with excitement, and he didn't notice his granddaughter's conflicted emotions. He continued enthusiastically:

"That's right! No matter what, his temperament is extremely important to me... Now, what I value is no longer just his talent!"

"My good granddaughter, my dear Xue'er, don't worry—no matter how he treats me, I will always maintain the utmost respect for him! And I will treat him with the gentlest attitude!"

Qian Daoliu spoke with heartfelt sincerity.

Qian Renxue gave a slight nod, finally reassured.

...

Moon Pavilion.

Emperor Xue Yue had been lingering here for quite a while, chatting about many things—about the Clear Sky Clan, and about future cooperation.

With the upheaval between Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Clans, the greatest beneficiary, truth be told, was the Heaven Dou Empire!

Originally, the Heaven Dou Empire tried to elevate spirit master forces. Even Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had been poised to become the Imperial Tutor.

But now?

With the heavy losses of the Upper Three Clans, they all became eager to curry favor with the empire!

Clear Sky Clan once used Tang Yuehua to keep the Snow Night Emperor at arm's length, extracting benefits for themselves.

But now, the emperor sticking around like this clearly meant he wanted to take things further—to win the beauty's heart!

Tang Yuehua no longer dared to reject him as coldly as before.

After all, the Clear Sky Clan now needed the Heaven Dou Empire's support more than ever.

It was nearly midnight when the Emperor finally left.

He even made sure many nobles saw him leave.

As one could imagine, after tonight, all the nobles of the empire would be gossiping about how the Emperor stayed at Moon Pavilion until late at night.

Even if Tang Yuehua tried to explain, she could no longer wash away the ambiguous relationship between them.

Watching his carriage depart from the window, Tang Yuehua, dressed in a flowing palace gown, couldn't hide her exhaustion on her stunning face.

She gently rubbed her temples and shut the window with a soft sigh.

She was already exhausted running around the noble circles of the Heaven Dou Empire for the Clear Sky Clan's sake.

And now, the situation had become even more difficult—her burden even heavier.

"That bastard! Sister, we don't have to put up with him! If he dares make you unhappy, and if Spirit Hall dares to barge into the imperial palace, then why wouldn't I dare?!"

Tang Xiao suddenly stormed out of a room, his face flushed with rage, grinding his teeth.

Tang Yuehua gently shook her head, stepped forward, and pressed a hand against Tang Xiao's chest.

She wore a relaxed smile and explained:

"Alright, Brother, you should know where to draw the line. We need the support of the Heaven Dou royal family—we can't act recklessly. Besides, the Emperor understands our boundaries... So, I'm not going to sacrifice anything over this. You have to trust me!"

After much persuasion, Tang Yuehua finally got Tang Xiao to sit down on the sofa.

Tang Xiao gritted his teeth. "If I'd known things would turn out like this, I should've pushed you to marry that Mr. Dan Heng earlier! With his wisdom, the Clear Sky Clan wouldn't... wouldn't be in this situation..."

Saying this, tears welled up in Tang Xiao's tiger eyes, and he began sobbing uncontrollably.

Tang Yuehua stood beside him like she was coaxing a child, gently stroking his head.

She was like a loving mother.

In truth, among the three siblings, she was by far the most mature.

Her two older brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, were both utterly unreliable.

As she thought about the Clear Sky Clan's future, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but recall what Tang Xiao had just said.

Marrying Mr. Dan Heng?

Of course, that had never been within her consideration.

What she valued... was Dan Heng's wisdom.

When the rest of the Upper Three Clans were being stirred into a frenzy by Spirit Hall's internal divisions, Dan Heng was the first to perceive Spirit Hall's true determination.

With such brilliant intellect, could she afford to ignore it?

"Maybe... I really can gain some insight from him," Tang Yuehua thought to herself.

...

The next day.

Dan Heng began designing a "soul power bottle" for a flying soul tool—something quite unusual in soul tool history.

The "bottle," as the name implies, was a container to supplement soul power. The soul power stored within it could act as an alternative to the soul master's own output.

In other words, if Dan Heng designed a predetermined flight path and installed these bottles, the flying soul tool could be arranged in formations in mid-air.

Of course, the crafting of these bottles would have to be outsourced to others.

And this time, there was one more helper... Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, "This is unheard of! Mr. Dan Heng, what exactly is in that head of yours?"

Shui Yue'er smugly said, "Obviously, it's genius!"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her indifferently, thinking: My teacher's this amazing, and you're proud for what?

"Please take care of it. As compensation, I'll leave one for each of you," Dan Heng said politely.

Zhu Zhuqing showed a faint smile and stood beside Dan Heng.

See that? I'm not like the two of you!

Shui Yue'er pouted, unhappy. "Mr. Dan Heng, my admiration for you is no less than Zhuqing's... I truly do this out of personal interest, not for rewards..."

Dugu Yan added, "Exactly, Mr. Dan Heng, I don't need any reward either!"

Dan Heng shook his head. "No need to say more—this is what you deserve. Now go ahead."

"...Alright then."

Shui Yue'er and Dugu Yan looked a bit disappointed.

Their biggest ambition was to become Dan Heng's disciples.

Unfortunately, Mr. Dan Heng wasn't even remotely tempted.

The three women left together.

Not long after they were gone, Dan Heng contacted the academy library staff and ordered fireworks, flowers...

Just then, a figure appeared.

Shoulder-length orange-gold short hair, a delicate and alluring face, brows and eyes like a painting, exuding a charm that made people instinctively drop their guard.

And her figure—perfectly proportioned and captivating.

As soon as she appeared, both men and women turned to look.

Hu Liena had arrived and headed straight for Dan Heng.

"...," Dan Heng looked at her helplessly.

The turmoil between Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Clans was starting to involve him now!

If not for his wife's feelings, he would've run far, far away by now.

Hu Liena approached and said, "Mr. Dan Heng, I have a request. I hope you can agree to it. I..."

"If it's not part of my responsibilities, I don't have time."

Dan Heng raised the notes in his hand as he spoke.

He really was busy lately—designing all this was part of a surprise for their first wedding anniversary.

Hu Liena frowned slightly and looked at Dan Heng with resentment.

Since they met, Dan Heng had never once yielded to her—it made her feel like she had no charm at all!

If it were for herself, she wouldn't shamelessly push forward.

But this time was different...

"Mr. Dan Heng, don't you think you ought to take responsibility for my teacher?"

"???" Dan Heng was completely dumbfounded—why on earth would he be responsible for Bibi Dong?

Hu Liena huffed, "Something definitely happened between the two of you, didn't it? My teacher didn't tell me, but I care about her. Every night, I stand outside her bedroom door, and I can hear her calling your name... the voice is so real and sorrowful! She must miss you so much!"

"???" Dan Heng was stunned, staring at her in disbelief.

Hu Liena continued, "My teacher must cry every night—I've seen her pillow soaked through many times. It must be from tears!"

[😭😭]

"!!!"

Dan Heng was utterly speechless.

What on earth was she talking about?

His only contact with Bibi Dong had been through decisions related to the Rakshasa God. How did Hu Liena twist this into them having some deep relationship?

Dan Heng shook his head. "You must be mistaken. There's nothing between your teacher and me—barely a few words exchanged. Also, I'm a married man. Saying these kinds of baseless things really troubles me."

"You..." Hu Liena looked at Dan Heng, face turning dark.

This scumbag really didn't want to take responsibility?

Her teacher was so heartbroken, and Dan Heng didn't even care?

Hu Liena opened her mouth to retort—but a cold voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Young lady, what are you saying? Pestering my husband like this—I'm not exactly a tolerant wife."

Gu Yuena approached with a lunchbox, coldly staring at Hu Liena as she walked up to Dan Heng.

She set the box on the counter like a declaration of sovereignty, wrapped her arm around Dan Heng's neck, and gave him a deep kiss.

Seeing Gu Yuena arrive, Hu Liena's expression turned awkward.

In front of Gu Yuena, no woman could be confident.

What's more, what she had done basically amounted to harassment, even if she meant no harm.

"Teacher Gu, I... I was wrong. I didn't consider your position," Hu Liena stammered.

She looked like a mouse facing a cat—her earlier aggressive tone had vanished without a trace.

"If you know you were wrong, then don't say more. No need to make things difficult for both of us, alright?"

Gu Yuena gave a faint smile, but there wasn't a trace of warmth in it.

She had no intention of being kind to any woman who set eyes on her husband.

If this were anywhere else, Hu Liena might've had to face the wrath of the Silver Dragon King!

Hu Liena hesitated and then whispered, "I... I noticed that Mr. Dan Heng and Teacher Gu aren't wearing wedding rings. Did you have a ceremony? If you're willing to meet with my teacher, Spirit Hall is willing to throw you the grandest wedding imaginable..."

Hearing this, Gu Yuena fell silent for a moment.

And Dan Heng couldn't help but remember—their wedding had been a joke. It was over in a single day, without any real preparation.

And although Gu Yuena had worn a wedding dress, it had been a very simple one.

Thinking about it now, he really had wronged Gu Yuena a little.

Although, at that time, their marriage had merely been a pretense.

Hu Liena looked into Gu Yuena's eyes and continued:

"I'm sorry... But I still hope that Mr. Dan Heng could go see my teacher! Even if it's just a few words—please don't let her keep suffering like this! Teacher Gu, you're a woman too. You should understand how painful this is for a woman, right?"

Hu Liena stepped forward, looking at Gu Yuena pitifully.

She tried to move Gu Yuena with her eyes.

Gu Yuena snapped out of it and let out a cold laugh. "I don't understand. No matter what you say, my husband belongs only to me. He won't get entangled with any other woman! If you continue to pester him..."

As she spoke, a cold light flashed in her eyes. She didn't release any pressure.

But just the disgust she felt was enough to create overwhelming oppression for Hu Liena on a life level.

Hu Liena opened her mouth, eyes flickering.

At that moment, she really wanted to run away. Under Gu Yuena's gaze, her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her throat.

"I... I..."

Her voice was unsteady, and she instinctively stepped back.

"Go back. Don't say such things again," Gu Yuena said calmly.

Hu Liena's expression immediately went blank, and she left, following her instincts.

Like prey instinctively fleeing from a predator.

Even she didn't realize what was happening.

It wasn't until she staggered out that Gu Yuena snorted, "Daring to take advantage of my husband? Dream on!"

Saying that, Gu Yuena wrapped her arms around Dan Heng's neck and leaned down to kiss his face several times.

A wave of fragrance and softness fell on Dan Heng's face like raindrops.

Dan Heng looked a bit helpless—this was still a public place, a library, after all.

"...Mind the setting," he reminded.

Gu Yuena snorted softly, full of jealousy. "I'm kissing my husband—who dares to say anything? If I don't assert my claim soon, who knows how many little vixens will start eyeing my man!"

Dan Heng shook his head helplessly. "They won't."

Gu Yuena took the chance to sit on Dan Heng's lap, leaning against his chest, her expression slightly unhappy.

"Husband, our wedding... I heard other couples always have a proposal first..."

Dan Heng nodded. "That's true."

Gu Yuena pursed her lips and fell silent for a moment. Then, she gave him a hard kiss on the chin and smiled brightly:

"But we're different. I didn't need you to propose—I was already in love with you long ago!"

Dan Heng was slightly stunned. Looking at Gu Yuena's eyes in his arms, he couldn't help but smile too.

Did he owe Gu Yuena a proposal?

...

Meanwhile, Hu Liena returned to the Spirit Hall in a daze.

She had already regained consciousness halfway back.

But thinking of Gu Yuena's naturally intimidating face, her whole body screamed—it was fear! Powerlessness!

So, she simply ran back to the Spirit Hall in one breath.

By the time she returned, her clothes were completely soaked and clinging to her body, drenched with sweat.

She returned to the great hall, flustered and anxious.

Coincidentally, Bibi Dong had just finished reorganizing the factions within the Spirit Hall and regained her authority as the Pope.

Seeing Hu Liena's panicked appearance, she flashed to her side, gently smoothing Hu Liena's hair, and asked softly:

"What's wrong, Nana?"

"Teacher, I..." Hu Liena told Bibi Dong everything—every detail.

Even the part about secretly overhearing what Bibi Dong had been doing in her room at night.

Bibi Dong's face immediately turned bright red. That pillowcase she had changed—it wasn't tears soaking it!

Hu Liena had actually heard her doing that embarrassing thing!

It was all that damn Rakshasa God's fault!

Like a switch that had been sealed away for years was suddenly flipped.

Memories of Dan Heng rushed into Bibi Dong's mind. Now that Hu Liena brought him up again, it was even harder for her to let go...
