Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 247: Sea Maiden Douluo

"No rush... still need a bit more preparation. After some time..."

Dan Heng hurriedly said.

As he spoke, he was already pressed down onto the bed by Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena had her hands on either side of Dan Heng's neck, pinning him down, and said, "Husband, I'm just so happy!"

Dan Heng smiled slightly. "As long as you're happy."

"You must have gone through a lot of effort, right?" Gu Yuena said sweetly, her cheeks flushed with emotion and satisfaction.

Her husband must have seen her eagerness and tried everything to help her realize her dream.

She didn't know what difficulties he'd encountered, but it certainly couldn't have been easy.

And all of this—was for her!

Dan Heng gently caressed Gu Yuena's cheek. Her skin was so smooth, it felt like touching warm jade.

"For you, anything is worth it."

Dan Heng said this in a serious tone, not just to coax her.

Gu Yuena chuckled, her body softening as she lay on top of Dan Heng, murmuring, "Who says sweet words like that, husband? It sounds more like you're making a vow..."

Then, changing the subject, she cupped Dan Heng's face.

"But I still like you the most, husband..."

Dan Heng chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her from slipping off.

"Husband, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Gu Yuena's eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

Dan Heng paused for a moment. "I like both."

Gu Yuena made a sound of agreement, then thought for a moment and said seriously, "Then let's have twins—one boy and one girl! The perfect pair!"

"When they're five or six, we can have a second child..."

As she spoke, a silly grin spread across her face.

She wanted to have many babies with her husband!

Dan Heng thought about it, and couldn't help but smirk. Given their potentially limitless lifespans, wouldn't that mean they could have thousands of children?

Just the two of them could revive the entire Chiming race!

Suddenly, Gu Yuena asked, "Husband, do you think our children can inherit our talents?"

"They will, but how much depends on their individual gifts."

Dan Heng replied.

Gu Yuena licked her lips, staring intently at Dan Heng's face.

Her eyes gradually filled with moisture.

Her hands started to misbehave as well. Dan Heng was like a shelled egg, and the "shell" quickly disappeared.

"Don't rush..."

Dan Heng said, a bit helpless.

"Let's rehearse for the next few days."

Gu Yuena whispered in his ear.

Then, without giving him a chance to resist, she began to take action.

The Next Day

The couple didn't get out of bed and sent Zi Ji to "make amends" by going to Lanba Academy to "request leave."

Zi Ji was eager to serve Gu Yuena and hurried off.

The more willing Gu Yuena was to send her on such tasks, the more it showed she wasn't holding a grudge and was willing to forgive her!

When she arrived at Lanba Academy, she told Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong was surprised, "What happened? Did something occur between Mr. Dan Heng and Teacher Gu? Is there anything I can help with?"

Zi Ji pouted. As if she'd need your help.

"It's nothing. Anyway, they just can't come today."

Seeing her attitude, Liu Erlong figured nothing bad had happened.

"As long as it's nothing serious... will they be busy for a while?"

Zi Ji tilted her head, recalling the intense scene she'd overheard.

"If things follow the usual pattern, they'll be back tomorrow."

Liu Erlong gave her a puzzled look. There's a "pattern"?

What exactly was the reason Dan Heng and Gu Yuena took time off?

Spirit Hall

Hu Liena arrived at Bibi Dong's palace.

As soon as the door opened, her eyes were drawn to a portrait hanging on the wall—a calm, handsome man.

It was a very familiar face—Dan Heng.

Hu Liena pretended not to notice.

In truth, besides her, no outsiders were allowed in this room.

"Teacher, I got news that the Grand Priest wants to secretly meet with the Upper Three Sects. It'll be private, but he's bringing people with him. Not sure if he's planning an attack or something else..."

Bibi Dong was standing at a desk, painting.

She held a brush in her hand, and a man's portrait was just starting to take form.

She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Wipe out the Upper Three Sects completely? Not likely. There's divine warning now, and that old fool wouldn't dare. So he must want to negotiate peace?"

Hu Liena, standing behind her, asked doubtfully:

"Teacher, wouldn't it be good if we could stop the fighting? The Upper Three Sects barely have any power left..."

"Besides, the Soul Master world no longer dares meddle in our Spirit Hall's affairs. We can now focus on internal reform..."

Hu Liena was now quite familiar with Spirit Hall's operations.

She was essentially the Pope's first secretary.

Bibi Dong sneered and turned, glancing sideways at Hu Liena.

"Na Na, you don't understand. The Star Luo Empire is in chaos. A breakaway nation—the Fontain Empire—is rising and incredibly mysterious. Some say fierce beasts have been spotted there, and not just one."

"Many of our Spirit Hall soul master families have joined Fontain. Our strength might not be enough to stand against it. So recovering our former glory? Almost impossible."

As Bibi Dong spoke, a flash of resentment appeared in her eyes.

The one responsible for this dire situation—was her.

It was all because she once pinned her hopes on Yu Xiaogang.

Only later did she realize that the one truly advising Qian Renxue... was Dan Heng!

She'd been completely played by Yu Xiaogang!

Unforgivable!!!

Hu Liena was stunned. It seemed Spirit Hall's current situation was even more dire than she'd thought.

Bibi Dong continued:

"That's why we can't show a shred of weakness. No matter what Qian Daoliu plans, we must turn it into an act of strength—a warning to the soul master world and the empire!"

"Go. We'll both attend the meeting between Qian Daoliu and the Upper Three Sects—to shatter his delusions."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, then went back to painting.

Elsewhere, in a house in Heaven Dou City

Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao were waiting, with a full table of food prepared.

The food had gone cold, and Dan Heng still hadn't shown up.

Tang Xiao slammed the table, annoyed. "Looks like Mr. Dan Heng doesn't want to drink with us. Yuehua, your plan failed."

Tang Yuehua frowned slightly, went to the door to look again, then sighed and shook her head.

"I understand Mr. Dan Heng. The way he was before, he definitely would've come. Maybe something important held him up. Let's wait a bit longer and have someone check in..."

Tang Xiao crossed his arms.

"I don't get it, Yuehua. He already said he didn't want to get involved. Forcing him will only bother him. He's the cold type. We don't mix well."

"Besides, just pretending to be close to him—do you think Spirit Hall won't still target us? Will our lives really be easier?"

Tang Xiao shook his head. He didn't think forcing the issue was wise.

But Tang Yuehua refused to give up.

"Tomorrow, I'll invite him again!"

Tang Xiao sighed helplessly. "Fine, fine. Then your big brother will go with you and properly invite him for a drink..."

God Realm

Life Temple

Poseidon sneaked into the temple like a thief.

Under a lush green Life Tree, a goddess in a green dress smiled at him.

"Poseidon, what are you sneaking around for? Do you need something?"

The Goddess of Life asked gently.

Poseidon chuckled awkwardly, looking around. "Destruction isn't here, right?"

"Xiao Zi isn't here. He went out with the God of Shura," the Life Goddess nodded.

Poseidon sighed in relief, came over, patted his chest, and said:

"Thank goodness. If he were here, this would be trouble..."

The Life Goddess looked at him curiously. "Why? Are you about to ask something that would make him uncomfortable? I might have to think twice then."

Her tone was light, still smiling kindly.

Poseidon chuckled as well, knowing her kindness meant she wouldn't really refuse.

More importantly, he was acting on Dan Heng's request.

And Dan Heng—he had a big bombshell.

If handled poorly, it could destroy the entire God Realm!

His expression changed as he hesitated on whether to tell her...

The Life Goddess noticed and was surprised.

"Poseidon, what's wrong?"

Poseidon scratched his head, handed her a letter, and started pacing.

His head lowered, face conflicted.

The Life Goddess looked at the letter—Dan Heng's request for help.

Specifically, a way for his bloodline to lose its energy, convert into "information," and still be capable of resurrection.

This was extremely targeted—only she could help.

"It's from him..."

The Life Goddess raised her hand, summoning a breeze from the Life Tree.

A few green leaves floated down and landed in her palm, glowing with rich life force.

She looked at Poseidon, puzzled. "He asked me to keep it secret, but based on this... could it be...?"

Poseidon saw her realizing something and clapped his hands, nodding vigorously.

"Exactly! That's it! But what you don't know is..."

Poseidon almost blurted it out.

He didn't want to bear the secret alone.

"Don't know what? Who his wife is? A goddess? No way it's a human, right?"

The Life Goddess was curious, eyes lighting up.

Even she couldn't resist such juicy gossip!

Poseidon said, "Come, come closer. But don't tell anyone..."

The Life Goddess leaned in, and Poseidon whispered something in her ear.

"!!!"

Her face turned pale, eyes wide as saucers.

"What?!"

"You... you're joking, right?"

The Life Goddess was almost speechless, staring at Poseidon in shock.

This piece of gossip was just too explosive!

Poseidon shrugged. "I wish it were a joke." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"..."

The Goddess of Life bit her lower lip, unable to calm down for a long while.

A heavy pressure weighed down on her shoulders.

She couldn't help but cast a slightly resentful look at Poseidon.

She regretted it. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have listened to that piece of gossip!

Poseidon, on the other hand, was beaming. He cheerfully took the few leaves given by the Goddess of Life and bid her farewell with a smile.

"..."

The Goddess of Life let out a long sigh.

Heaven Dou City.

That day, another event occurred.

Led by Bo Saixi, a group from Sea God Island finally arrived—and very quickly, they obtained a piece of explosive intelligence!

A divine miracle had manifested. According to various accounts, the god involved... was very likely the Sea God, Poseidon!

Bo Saixi took the group to a family-owned restaurant, and in a private room, she summarized the intel:

"...Lord Sea God must be selecting a successor. But the fact that he could descend a divine miracle means that everything is well with him!"

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift.

Several of the Holy Pillar guardians nodded repeatedly, their faces glowing with joy.

The Sea God's descent meant their faith now had solid footing!

From now on, they could stand taller when facing Spirit Hall's soul masters!

"Lord Sea God must have learned of the offenses Spirit Hall committed against us, which is why he issued them a warning!"

"High Priestess, should we take this opportunity to expand our faith inland?"

"If only we could see Lord Sea God with our own eyes..."

"..."

Everyone began chattering excitedly.

Bo Saixi shook her head slightly and, after thinking for a moment, said:

"We still need to gather more information about Lord Sea God—the more detailed, the better. And that divine inheritance artifact—ideally, we should locate it..."

"So, let's split up and carry out our tasks."

Bo Saixi quickly assigned everyone their responsibilities.

Sea Maiden Douluo and Seahorse Douluo were assigned to investigate Blue Tyrant Academy, since Liu Erlong had received divine grace from Lord Sea God.

Sea Maiden Douluo tilted her head, confused: "High Priestess, how are we supposed to investigate?"

"You'll each use a different approach to get into Blue Tyrant Academy."

Bo Saixi gave them some guidance. "Seahorse, you can make direct contact with Liu Erlong. Sea Maiden, you'll need to investigate from a more indirect angle..."

The next morning.

Dan Heng had finished recovering and now entered the "conception preparation" stage.

Over the next few days, he and Gu Yuena would have no intimate contact.

In fact, for the best results, Gu Yuena even had him take a few more days off, so he wouldn't go to Blue Tyrant Academy and could focus entirely on preparing for conception.

Dan Heng went to work alone, ignoring the pleading look in Zi Ji's eyes as she begged to be taken along.

When he arrived at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy...

He found a crowd blocking the way.

There wasn't even a gap left for him to pass through.

He wasn't in a hurry and simply waited in the back.

The people crowding the entrance were both male and female, chattering noisily.

"She's so beautiful! Doesn't look like she's from around here—she has this exotic vibe!"

"She's applying to be a teacher here? But she seems kinda ditzy and cute... is she really qualified?"

"I want to be her student—it would be so fun! Did you hear? She just called a student 'big brother'..."

"..."

Their voices were soon drowned out by a loud, commanding one.

"Quiet, all of you! Clear the entrance! Don't make me take action!"

It was Liu Erlong's voice. In an instant, it scared the crowd away.

Revealing the woman they had all been surrounding and watching...
