Chapter 41 Peerless Dragon and Serpent

Zi Ji spent the whole day avoiding Dan Heng, and her eating habits were unusual. She only ate five bowls of rice before wanting to go out and play. If Gu Yue Na hadn't told her to come back tomorrow morning to catch the carriage, she would have wanted to slip away.

The next morning, Danheng and his family boarded the rented carriage and headed to Xingluo City.

Dan Heng, Gu Yuena, and Zhu Zhuqing sat inside the carriage, while Zi Ji drove the carriage outside.

At this moment, Zi Ji realized that Dan Heng had no intention of punishing her, and her tail began to wag again.

The carriage was very smooth. Gu Yuena held onto Dan Heng's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"My lord, because the 100,000-year-old soul beast Titan Giant Ape appeared once in the Star Dou Great Forest, the outer soul beasts dare not come out. We can just go diagonally through..."

Gu Yuena gazed at Dan Heng with tender affection.

Gu Yuena will remember that Water Dragon attack for the rest of her life!

After all, it was a turning point in their marital relationship, letting her know that she held importance in her husband's heart!

Dan Heng hummed in agreement, flipping through a book in his hand. It was a new book he had bought from a merchant, about the customs and culture of the Star Luo Empire.

Gu Yuena snorted as she watched Dan Heng reading so earnestly.

He was just about to speak.

"drive……!!!"

Suddenly, Murasaki's voice rang out from outside.

The carriage also began to pick up speed.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly, but didn't punish Zi Ji. The sooner she arrived in the Star Luo Empire, the better she could find a husband in a foreign land.

"Husband, when we arrive in Xingluo City, let's be frugal and stay in two rooms. Let Zhuqing and Ziji stay together," Gu Yuena said "considerately," knowing that the family didn't have much money.

That way, she could live in the same room with Danheng without feeling guilty!

Otherwise, she was really afraid that Danheng would find an excuse to separate!

Especially these past two nights, she's been pestering Danheng, trying to make things happen, but Danheng keeps avoiding her.

"Okay," Dan Heng replied casually.

"My husband, it's a deal..."

Gu Yuena showed a look of surprise.

"Giddy up...giddy up!!!"

Two more crisp whip cracks rang out from outside.

The carriage suddenly turned, and Gu Yuena and Dan Heng leaned forward, almost bumping into Zhu Zhuqing's impressive bosom.

Dan Heng sighed, put the book away, and said, "I'll go and replace Zi Ji."

"No..." Gu Yuena hadn't had enough of being affectionate with Dan Heng yet, and was very reluctant to part with him.

Danheng had already stepped out of the carriage and said to Ziji, who was excitedly cracking her whip, "Let me take over."

By then, it was getting dark.

Next to their carriage, a rather luxurious carriage rode alongside.

Murasaki was just struggling with it.

"No! I insist on competing with him!" Zi Ji was extremely excited and didn't want to get into the carriage yet.

"Come in, Murasaki."

Gu Yuena said calmly.

Her voice was calm, yet it was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Zi Ji's excitement.

Zi Ji immediately became obedient and handed the riding whip to Dan Heng.

Danheng sat on the cushion where Ziji had just sat, which was quite warm. He glanced at the whip marks on the horse's back and frowned slightly. Their carriage only had one horse, while the luxurious carriage next to them had three fine horses.

To compete with others, Zi Ji used the horse to its limit.

The next second, a series of rapid breaths seemed to fill the carriage.

Dan Heng remembers that this is the breathing frequency of a person who can't help but sob.

Has Murasaki been taught a lesson again?

Dan Heng couldn't help but curl up his lips, a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.

He placed his hand on the horse's back, and the bloody whip marks healed completely after he stroked them with his palm.

Although he didn't have Bai Lu's talent, he could still handle this level of treatment with ease.

At this moment, an old man in the luxurious carriage next to him saw him stroking the horse and slowing down, and he also slowed down in sync.

Dan Heng was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Zi Ji had caused him trouble again?

However, the tall, thin old man in the carriage next to him, though stern-looking, did not exude any malice.

He nodded slightly to Dan Heng, "Young man, shall we set up camp together tonight?"

Dan Heng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

……

evening.

Two carriages were parked facing each other, with a bonfire lit between them.

The Danheng family and the elderly man's family sat together.

An elderly couple and a young girl. The girl was a few years older than Zhu Zhuqing, but her feminine charm was completely overshadowed. She looked at Zhu Zhuqing with resentment.

Speaking of which, the Danheng family is truly exceptional; the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, and both are stunning.

It's probably impossible to gather even in the imperial palace.

The old man chuckled and said, "Young man, I don't know why, but you seem very comfortable to me. My name is Meng Shu, this is my wife Chao Tianxiang, and this is my granddaughter, Meng Yiran."

"Young people can get to know each other better."

After Long Gong Meng Shu finished speaking, he waited for Dan Heng to show a look of shock.

After all, the name of the peerless dragon and snake is quite well-known in the world of soul masters.

It's almost impossible not to have heard of them in the world of Soul Masters.

Meng Yiran looked at Dan Heng expectantly. From any angle, Dan Heng was the type that girls would particularly like. He was handsome and looked cool, but not sharp.

While someone like Blade is equally handsome, it's difficult for him to win a woman's heart.

Dan Heng was slightly taken aback, not recognizing the name "Peerless Dragon and Serpent". If Meng Shu had mentioned the Meng family of the Dragon Staff, he would have known the other party's identity, but now he could forget about any reaction from him.

"My name is Danheng..."

Everyone else also gave brief self-introductions, mentioning only one name.

It maintains the same style as Danheng.

Long Gong Meng Shu was quite embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he asked with a smile, "Young friend Dan Heng, you're not a Soul Master?"

Dan Heng nodded, flipping the grilled meat and sprinkling on the seasoning. "I'm not a Soul Master, I've just read a lot of books on Soul Masters."

"A scholar?" Long Gong Meng Shu was somewhat disappointed.

Meng Yiran's gaze towards Dan Heng also lost some of its fervor.

In the world of Soul Masters, scholars are actually hard to be respected. Even the most flamboyant scholars and masters a decade or so ago, without the support of the Spirit Hall, became clowns that everyone hated.

Did they think Danheng was an extraordinary person, but it turns out he was just all show and no substance?

"Cough cough..." Gu Yuena suddenly coughed twice, her face somewhat pale.

Danheng turned around and glanced at her.

Gu Yuena forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from being in the car for so long today. Husband, let me go inside and rest for a bit..."

Gu Yuena covered her mouth with her hand, but didn't put it down because her palm was stained with blood again.

Space travel is still too much for her right now, or rather, not hiding and recuperating properly and instead running out to entangle with Dan Heng would be very detrimental to her injuries.

Watching her board the carriage, Danheng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat anxious.

The speed at which the meat is rotated has increased.

"I think this little girl is a Soul Master?" Long Gong Meng Shu asked again.
