Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 242: Zi Ji’s Unconvinced

The next day.

Dan Heng was quietly reading in the library when someone suddenly came to inform him that someone was looking for him outside.

As soon as he stepped out the main doors, he saw a pavilion down the steps below.

In the pavilion stood a sexy and fiery woman, looking extremely impatient, shooing away the swarm of infatuated male students around her as if swatting flies.

It was none other than his troublesome sister-in-law!

She wore a purple dress, her face always cold and proud like a swan.

But her looks and aura were just too outstanding. Just standing there was enough to make the male students swarm over uncontrollably.

Dan Heng could see clearly—judging by the expression on Ziji's face, if any of those guys dared approach again, they were definitely in for some serious pain.

Indeed, those male students seemed to have sensed the killing intent. Though they still stared at her from afar, none dared get close.

"Brother-in-law!"

Ziji also saw Dan Heng and waved at him excitedly before running over like a husky.

"...," Dan Heng sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He had a feeling that at this Lanba Academy, he was going to end up being "brother-in-law" to half the male students here!

Ziji came jogging over, cheeks flushed.

Not from exhaustion—but from excitement.

Her big eyes stared intently at Dan Heng as she eagerly asked:

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Are you going to have a baby with my sister soon?!"

"...," Dan Heng's mouth twitched. He nodded faintly—crude question, but fair point.

Ziji took a deep breath and declared:

"Then I want to help!"

"What help?" Dan Heng was momentarily stunned. He thought to himself, "If you don't mess things up, that's already a huge favor!"

Ziji seemed to see right through his thoughts and pouted.

"Hmph! I don't care! You HAVE to let me help! Then you can tell my sister how great I am! I want her to know I'm WAY more dependable than Bi Ji and Zhu Zhuqing!"

"...,"

Dan Heng gave her a long, meaningful look.

This little sister-in-law clearly had zero self-awareness.

Wasn't she the most useless one in the whole household?

And yet she wanted to compete for Bi Ji's status at home?

"There's no need to help. I appreciate the thought. Once it's successful, I'll tell your sister you contributed."

Dan Heng gave a perfunctory reply.

Ziji stomped her feet and puffed out her cheeks in frustration:

"Brother-in-law! What do you take me for?! I'm not the kind of person who takes credit for nothing! You have to let me be involved!"

"Oh, right—did that Poseidon guy help out?"

Ziji suddenly thought of something important and asked.

Bi Ji and Zhu Zhuqing were both working for Gu Yuena—Ziji couldn't get involved with that.

She wanted to do something meaningful, to make her sister truly admire her!

But... if Poseidon the Sea God was helping Dan Heng, then she could totally tag along and assist!

Then she could push all the hard work onto him and just supervise from the sidelines!

"He... did help," Dan Heng nodded.

Looking at the growing crowd of male students below, he was ready to leave.

Ziji clapped her hands excitedly and said, "That's perfect! Brother-in-law, let me supervise him!"

"...What?"

"Supervise him! He's an outsider—how can you be sure he'll do his job properly? If I watch him, he won't dare slack off! Besides, just looking at him, you can tell he's not reliable. How could he ever match my level of thoroughness?"

She suddenly hugged Dan Heng's arm, blinking up at him with her big eyes.

Dan Heng hadn't even responded yet when a loud voice cut in:

"Who are you calling an outsider?! Dan Heng is my brother—we're closer than blood brothers! There's a saying—'Women are like clothes,' not talking about your sister of course, just you—you're like clothes, but brothers are like limbs!"

Poseidon the Sea God appeared out of nowhere, reeking of alcohol.

Ziji instantly exploded in rage, stomping and shouting: "You damned drunkard! Who are you calling clothes?! I'll roast you with my fire breath, you bastard!"

"Hmm?"

Poseidon frowned slightly and glanced at her.

He was, after all, the Sea God—one of the top powerhouses below the five Divine Kings in the God Realm of Douluo.

When he got serious, his mere presence was enough to silence others.

"!!!"

Ziji immediately shrank behind Dan Heng, whimpering softly:

"Brother-in-law... he's bullying me..."

Dan Heng sighed again, "That's enough, both of you. Be respectful to each other."

Even though Ziji had been the rude one first, she was still family, so he couldn't really scold her too harshly.

Poseidon pouted and said:

"Dan Heng, you've really changed. You never used to care about these women. I remember when Qian Yuhan pretended she couldn't swim and fell in the sea—you just calmly fished nearby like it had nothing to do with you."

Dan Heng shook his head, "She was a Title Douluo—how could she possibly drown?"

Ziji's eyes lit up—she'd just learned another juicy secret to report back to her sister!

Ziji tugged on Dan Heng's arm again and said sweetly:

"Brother-in-law~ please let me help! If I work with this guy, I'll make sure everything goes perfectly. Otherwise, look at him—he's definitely going to mess something up!"

Poseidon glared. "Hey, you—!"

Dan Heng patted his shoulder, thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright. Poseidon, you and Ziji can take turns."

Poseidon pulled a long face, glancing sideways at Ziji and muttering:

"Fine, whatever. I've already tested those guys—they're all pretty compatible with me. Especially that Yu Yuanzhen guy. Don't worry—they promised not to do anything stupid."

Ziji snorted, "Yeah right. You only met them over drinks. 'Know a person's face but not their heart.' How can you trust them so easily?"

Poseidon rolled his eyes—not going to argue with her.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Liu Erlong was walking along the street with Yu Yuanzhen. At her other side followed the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon, moving slowly.

Their appearance drew a lot of attention.

A soul beast walking the streets—and a thousand-year-old one at that—this was a first!

And among soul masters, those who recognized Liu Erlong's identity were buzzing from afar.

Right now, the most talked-about person in all of Tiandou City was none other than Liu Erlong.

Being personally acknowledged by a god—such an honor made the entire world sit up and take notice of her.

The visitors to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were practically wearing down the doorstep!

Even the Spirit Hall had sent a Platinum Bishop to offer gifts.

Yu Yuanzhen saw it all and felt more and more satisfied.

Now, all that was left was for Liu Erlong to follow through steadily with her cultivation—and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would surely rise to glory once again!

Maybe even surpass the original Three Upper Sects and challenge the Spirit Hall!

As for all the wrongdoings of the Spirit Hall... perhaps the Pope and all those involved would eventually come crawling back, confessing their sins and begging for forgiveness.

That is... as long as nothing went wrong...

Yu Yuanzhen glanced at the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon beside them, a dark shadow passing through his heart.

He could feel the turbulence of soul power inside Liu Erlong's body.

This was definitely caused by the fire dragon!

"Uncle," Liu Erlong sighed, "you really don't need to follow me around. Who's going to cause me trouble?"

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head slightly and said, "Just being careful, just in case..."
