Douluo Continent: Reincarnated Dan Heng Drinks the Moon, Gu Yuena Pursues Him

Chapter 21 Shrek Academy

Gu Yuena gently sniffed the flowers, even though they shouldn't have any fragrance, and said, "They smell so good, my husband. Why did you think of giving me flowers?"

"..." Dan Heng tilted his head and walked into the house, remembering the curator's words.

Don't married couples go on a honeymoon?

But if their marriage is a sham, is it still necessary?

Although Danheng prefers a peaceful life, he has wandered and been to many places. If he is just taking Gu Yuena on his honeymoon and does not reveal his own peculiarity, it does not seem like something that is hard to accept.

Gu Yuena caught up, sighed, and asked, "My husband, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, by the way, a guest came to our house. He said he was looking for you."

Just as Dan Heng was listening to Gu Yuena's words, he entered the main room.

Inside the room, Prince Zhu, whom he had met once before, was sitting obediently.

Unlike last time when he drank from his own cup by himself, and didn't polish the chair beneath him until it gleamed, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face when he saw Dan Heng enter.

"Mr. Danheng, we've finally waited for you to return..."

Prince Zhu stepped forward enthusiastically to shake Danheng's hand.

Dan Heng did not respond; he was still carrying the books he had bought.

He turned and put the book aside, thus avoiding Prince Zhu's hand.

Prince Zhu rubbed his hands awkwardly, but there was no displeasure on his face.

The difference compared to the last time I came is huge.

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and picked up Dan Heng's books. "Teacher, I... I'll go put them on the bookshelf for you...?"

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered, and she looked at Dan Heng with concern.

She was genuinely afraid that Danheng would expel her from the sect because of Prince Zhu's words.

Dan Heng hummed in agreement; of course, he wouldn't hold a grudge against Zhu Zhuqing.

As an individual who has undergone the cycle of being stripped of his scales, Danfeng has encountered many troublesome issues due to his identity, and he has always kept his distance from "misplaced anger".

Don't let others go through the same hardships you've experienced.

Prince Zhu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Since Dan Heng hadn't immediately lost his temper, it meant there was still room for negotiation!

"Mr. Danheng, I wonder if you have received my apology gift?" Prince Zhu asked with a smile.

Danheng nodded, then shook his head. "They came looking for me, but I didn't like that. Don't let it disrupt my peaceful life. Besides, I've never blamed you."

"If you want to take Zhu Zhuqing away, and she is willing to go with you, then I will not stop you in any way."

Danheng stated bluntly that he was sitting opposite Prince Zhu.

Gu Yuena sat down beside him, smiled slightly, and did not offer any opinion. She simply looked at Danheng and Prince Zhu with her bright, intelligent eyes.

Prince Zhu sighed, an embarrassed look on his face, and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"Mr. Danheng, please don't bring this up again. I'm so sorry for doing something so impolite without knowing anything beforehand. I only realized your teaching level after I saw Zhuqing."

"Even the titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall probably couldn't reach this level."

"So, I really regret my previous rudeness."

As Prince Zhu spoke, he bowed deeply to Dan Heng.

Dan Heng's guidance helped Zhu Zhuqing advance three levels without any negative impact, and he was truly grateful to Dan Heng.

He didn't mind losing face so that Zhu Zhuqing could receive better instruction.

That's better than being complained about by my daughter!

More importantly, he was brutally beaten while scaling the city wall.

If we're talking about who he's offended recently, it's only Dan Heng.

Although he lacked concrete evidence, he became more wary of Danheng.

"Hmm..." Dan Heng replied somewhat perfunctorily.

"I respect Zhu Zhuqing's opinion and made an agreement with her that she would graduate when she had been taught to the Soul Emperor level."

"Dan Heng said."

"Soul Emperor...? This..." Prince Zhu was stunned. He wanted to say that it would be at least a dozen years before Zhu Zhuqing reached the Soul Emperor level.

By then, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had already finished competing for the throne.

As expected, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation will be destroyed.

So, forget about becoming a Soul Emperor, Zhu Zhuqing can only study for five years at most!

Prince Zhu sighed, looked at the table, and after a few seconds his eyes suddenly brightened as he scanned the area.

"Mr. Danheng, have you been living here before?"

"Yes."

Prince Zhu continued, "Mr. Danheng, I find this place rather simple and unsuitable for your status. Why don't you come with me to the Star Luo Empire and become an honored guest of our Zhu family?"

"With your abilities, you could easily obtain the title of Star Luo."

"Wouldn't our lives be much better then than we are now?"

Prince Zhu wanted to persuade Dan Heng to go to the Star Luo Empire with him.

This is the best outcome. With Dan Heng's teaching abilities, Zhu Zhuqing will receive more resources in the Star Luo Empire, allowing her to improve rapidly.

"No, I like my life now," Danheng shook his head.

Prince Zhu, however, did not give up. Once he had this idea, he became even more eager. He continued, "Mr. Danheng, look at your current living conditions; they are truly unworthy of your status..."

"This small town is near the Star Dou Great Forest, and with so many Soul Masters coming and going, it's actually quite difficult for it to be peaceful."

"It's different in the Star Luo Empire, where talents like you..."

Prince Zhu spoke eloquently, showing great respect for Danheng, but when mentioning the various aspects of Danheng's current living environment, he inevitably revealed the arrogance of a nobleman and his disdain for his surroundings.

Dan Heng drank a cup of tea, estimated the time, and stood up, saying, "I'm going to cook now. Mr. Zhu, please make yourself at home."

Prince Zhu, still in a state of excitement, continued:

"Look, you still have to cook for yourself now. If you were in the Star Luo Empire, there would be master chefs cooking and beautiful women serving you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Prince Zhu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a strange coldness rising from the soles of his feet.

The pain of being trampled on the city walls resurfaced.

Zhu Zhuqing came out of the bedroom, her eyes red-rimmed, and pushed Prince Zhu, "Father, go back, don't interfere in my affairs anymore...!"

Gu Yuena squinted, watching Prince Zhu's retreating figure.

……

Prince Zhu was ushered out of the courtyard. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's reddened eyes, his enthusiasm faded. "Zhuqing..."

"Dad, please just let me stay here and learn from the teacher. Don't let me do anything else, please!" Zhu Zhuqing said with tears in her eyes. She was terrified of leaving Teacher Danheng.

This is her only chance to defy fate.

Prince Zhu calmed down completely, sighed, and nodded, saying, "I understand..."

"Zhuqing, don't worry, Dad will support you, and no one will come here to bother you anymore."

Prince Zhu gave a wry smile and turned to leave.

For no apparent reason, he sneezed again. "Could it be a cold?"

He recalled that he had a similar feeling when he was inexplicably beaten on the city wall.

Thinking it over, he quickened his pace, wanting to leave the small town.
