Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 237: Preparing for Pregnancy

Dan Heng's Home

Zhu Zhuqing was helping Bi Ji with the housework, wiping the shiny furniture. Her cold and beautiful face looked utterly bored.

Yes—being forbidden from training made her feel physically uncomfortable!

Bi Ji chuckled softly and said, "Zhuqing, you should take a break too. Cultivation must be gradual. With the progress you've made now, hasn't anyone ever achieved it before?"

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

It's still not enough!

Her goal was her teacher.

How could she be satisfied with her current pace?

Just then, Zhu Zhuyun arrived at the entrance to the main hall, her expression complicated as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Hearing the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

If everything proceeded normally, then on the day of the final battle, neither she nor Dai Weisi would be a match for Zhu Zhuqing alone, right?

To already be a Soul Sect at this age—by adulthood, she might even be a Soul Saint!

And the root of all this change... was that man!

Zhu Zhuyun gently touched her stomach.

It was no longer swollen.

Also, she had intentionally skipped breakfast!

Starting now, she would go on a hunger strike to mourn her dead love.

Creak...!

Suddenly, the courtyard gate creaked open.

A purple figure rushed into the room and almost knocked Zhu Zhuyun over.

It was Zi Ji, who immediately snatched the towel from Bi Ji.

"I'll do it..."

Zi Ji started wiping the table in an exaggeratedly serious manner, even wiping her forehead with her other hand.

"...." Bi Ji could only smile helplessly.

At that moment, Gu Yuena entered the courtyard and came into the main hall.

Seeing the four women in the room, she raised her brows slightly and said, "Let Zi Ji do the cleaning. You three, come with me."

"Okay..."

Bi Ji and the other two immediately followed.

Zi Ji drooped her head in disappointment, "Sister..."

In the Room

Gu Yuena sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at the three women, and smiled slightly, saying, "What comes next will be a very important phase for our household."

Hearing this, the three women straightened up with serious expressions.

Even Zhu Zhuyun looked like she wanted to run away.

Gu Yuena said seriously, "I've... decided to start preparing for pregnancy! I want to have a baby with Dan Heng. Of course, two babies would be better. Three would be perfect..."

The more she spoke, the harder it was to hide the joy on Gu Yuena's face.

"Sister, congratulations! You and Brother-in-law will surely have your wish fulfilled!" Bi Ji immediately smiled.

Gu Yuena nodded, then frowned slightly and continued:

"However, even though I've gathered some methods, whether it will work or not is still unknown. During this time, I need you to prepare some festive things for me. Like planting a grapevine, or maybe a pomegranate tree..."

To have a baby, Gu Yuena wasn't even ruling out superstition now.

The three women nodded seriously and took notes.

This would absolutely be the most important matter for Dan Heng's family in the future!

The three of them received their respective assignments and went off to prepare.

Gu Yuena watched them leave. Left alone in the room, she let out a soft sigh.

Truthfully, she wasn't very confident of success.

If she couldn't give her husband a child, she would feel terribly guilty.

It had already been a year—they had been together over a thousand times.

Why wasn't her belly getting any bigger?

Gu Yuena gently rubbed her abdomen. It was smooth, warm, and completely flat without even a trace of fat.

Meanwhile, at Prince Xue Xing's Mansion

Prince Xue Xing brought the Sea God, Poseidon—the living "Buddha"—into his mansion and was eager to get rid of him.

However, Poseidon made a point of sticking to him like glue, not giving him the slightest chance to slip away.

Prince Xue Xing was panicking. His clothes clung to his body, drenched in sweat and reeking of it.

He seated Poseidon next to him.

"Mister, it's noon. Why don't we have lunch together? May I ask what your preferences are?"

Poseidon thought for a moment, looked at the prince, and suddenly licked his lips.

"I feel like... you might taste pretty good?"

"!!!"

Prince Xue Xing's heart nearly burst. His eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted from fright!

For some reason, when Poseidon said things like that, he couldn't help but take them seriously.

Seeing this, Poseidon burst into hearty laughter. What a coward! Not a shred of backbone!

The nearby guards hesitated to step in, but none dared interfere.

"What are you all standing around for? Didn't you hear this old guy just now? Bring out the best wine and food!"

Poseidon bellowed.

Immediately, the servants moved swiftly and soon presented a full table of delicacies.

At that moment, Prince Xue Xing regained consciousness.

He instinctively touched his neck and inspected himself. Seeing he wasn't missing any limbs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But upon seeing Poseidon again, his heart began to race with fear.

"Ah... Mister, y-you're still here?"

Poseidon frowned. "Still here? What, you think I'm not welcome? Trying to kick me out?"

"N-no, I wouldn't dare!"

Prince Xue Xing quickly denied it with a sheepish smile.

Poseidon ignored him and focused on the food and wine. freewёbnoνel.com

Prince Xue Xing watched him and secretly let out a breath of relief. Then his eyes lit up as he glanced at the meal.

Because—this entire table of food was part of an emergency countermeasure!

Specifically designed to rescue him if taken hostage by an enemy.

The food and drink were harmless individually, but when consumed together—they'd knock you out cold!

Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to resist it!

Anticipation gleamed in the prince's eyes.

Once Poseidon was unconscious, he'd have all the time in the world to deal with him!

"Old man, why are you so dead-set on opposing Mr. Dan Heng?" Poseidon asked while taking a big swig of wine.

Prince Xue Xing immediately shook his head.

"No! I'd never think that, Mister. I respect Mr. Dan Heng immensely. Why would I ever oppose him?"

"I actually wanted to recruit him. Bringing him into court would benefit both parties!"

As he spoke, the prince kept waiting for Poseidon to pass out.

But Poseidon showed no signs of drowsiness, still eating voraciously.

He even took time to pat the prince on the shoulder, nodding.

"Old man, I can tell—you're definitely holding a grudge against Dan Heng. So let me warn you: Don't mess with him. Or no one will be able to save you."

"N-no... of course not..."

The prince forced a smile.

Poseidon looked at him, wiped his mouth, and laughed again:

"You thought the drugged food would work on me? Or maybe those seven Soul Douluo outside gave you confidence?"

"!!!"

Prince Xue Xing's face instantly turned deathly pale.

Everything... had been within his grasp from the start?

"Remember what I told you today. Also, the food wasn't bad. I'll be back every day from now on..."

Poseidon stood up and strode out of the room with a smile.

Although his presence wasn't aggressive, it radiated a mysterious strength that made everyone avoid him instinctively.

Prince Xue Xing collapsed limply into his seat, lips trembling—but no words came out.
