Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 167: Zi Ji Reports! Punishment Doubled!

What was placed before Yu Xiaogang was the temptation of fame and fortune!

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

As long as he nodded and admitted it, he could gain this honor.

Yes, to Yu Xiaogang, this was practically a treasure beyond compare—Even more enticing than the most beautiful woman!

And the cost to obtain this?

The fool on the other end had already spilled all the information without even realizing it.

Yu Xiaogang didn't need to worry about being exposed.

Even the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, would likely be pleased with this outcome.

And even if things were discovered, he could always play the part of a mistaken victim and cleanse his name.

As for danger? That was the least of his concerns.

If Bibi Dong met him and found out it was him—what could she do?

She'd probably be even more awed by his genius!

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled as he said,"You've already investigated to this extent. Even if I deny it, you won't believe me, will you?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded. "Exactly. No matter how I look at it, it's you—Master Yu Xiaogang!"

Yu Xiaogang sighed deeply, saying with a touch of melancholy,"I am burdened by fame. Pitiful, isn't it? It's not my fault, but the world's prejudice."

"..." Chrysanthemum Douluo twitched hard at the corner of his mouth.

This bastard's still pretending?

If he hadn't handled it personally, he might've doubted if they found the right person.Yu Xiaogang was just that good at acting!

"You're taking me to Spirit Hall to meet the Pope?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head."You're a rare talent. The Pope values you highly. I need to return and get her instructions before giving you an answer."

He was trying to buy time—let Yu Xiaogang spin his own web of lies.

If he went directly to Bibi Dong and messed up, it'd ruin everything.

Would Yu Xiaogang back out later?

Impossible.

He was the type to bite the hook and never let go.

This identity was too attractive to him.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, "Very well. I come here at this time every day. If you need me, come find me—but don't harm anyone from Blue Tyrant Academy!"

"Alright..." Chrysanthemum Douluo nearly laughed aloud.

Yu Xiaogang was really good at putting on a show!

With a flash, he disappeared from Yu Xiaogang's sight.

Yu Xiaogang's face was full of expectation, his heart pounding.

In a moment of greed, he made this decision.

Now, he had to keep playing the role.

"If I appear before Bibi Dong with this identity... how will she see me?

Would she... fall for me again?"

Yu Xiaogang felt young again.

His blood boiled.

After all, Bibi Dong was his first love!

Liu Erlong? Just a substitute!

Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly returned to Spirit Hall.

After briefly conferring with Ghost Douluo, they went to report to Bibi Dong.

She was already annoyed by their slow progress.

Now, Chrysanthemum Douluo presented all the "evidence" and gave the final report:

"The person behind the Heaven Dou Crown Prince is actually Yu Xiaogang, just under a different name..."

Bibi Dong trembled upon hearing the name, stopping her perusal of the "evidence."

She let out a soft sigh.

"Yu Xiaogang..."

"If it's him, then everything makes sense. He is a true master—of martial spirit theory, of knowledge across ages."

She looked thoughtful.

"???" Chrysanthemum Douluo was dumbfounded. Wait, seriously?

You're just gonna believe it? Without even checking the evidence?

Ghost Douluo let out a breath of relief.

Bibi Dong asked, "Was he willing to come?"

"He didn't refuse. Just asked us not to harm anyone from Blue Tyrant Academy..." Chrysanthemum Douluo answered truthfully.

"Blue Tyrant... hehe... Yu Xiaogang, are you afraid I'll hurt Liu Erlong? Is that a warning to me?"

Bibi Dong smirked to herself, feeling she'd seen through his intentions.

"..." Chrysanthemum Douluo was even more confused.

Wait, isn't Yu Xiaogang just trying to stall?

Why is the Pope suddenly... acting weird?

Did I even need to go through all that effort with fake evidence?

"Enough. You may leave." Bibi Dong's expression turned icy again as she looked at them.

"Yes..."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance.

Ah, that's more like the real Bibi Dong!

That evening, at Dan Heng's home—"Xue Qinghe" showed up again, bringing good news.

"Mr. Dan Heng, for some reason, Spirit Hall has taken a wrong path. They're no longer searching for your traces."

"I even sent people to wipe your tracks, but someone had already done it before us. You don't have to worry anymore."

As "Xue Qinghe" spoke, she picked up a large bowl filled with food.

All of it had been served by Zi Ji.

"Xue Qinghe" was a bit shocked.

Zi Ji? This crazy woman? She used to nitpick every time she came!

Now she's piling food for her?

"Eat..." Zi Ji said coldly.

"Uh, thank you, Miss Zi Ji..."

"Eat more..."

"It's enough, really, Miss Zi Ji, you should eat too..."

"Xue Qinghe" instinctively leaned away from her.

Although Dan Heng's food was delicious, the atmosphere was... weird.

"What should I eat? In this house, I'm constantly picked on! He even wants to give me away to that blond guy..." Zi Ji muttered, glaring at Dan Heng.

"..."

"Xue Qinghe" realized—oh no, this is a family issue.She'd come at the wrong time!

Also... was that "blond guy" her?

"..." Dan Heng gave Zi Ji a helpless glance.

This little troublemaker of a sister-in-law was stirring up drama again.

Zi Ji huffed. "I know Brother-in-law doesn't like how much I eat, but I work, okay? Me and Bi Ji clean the yard, wipe the flowerpots..."

Bi Ji stayed quiet, glancing at Zi Ji with hesitation.

She really wanted to expose her—Zi Ji only worked when the lord was watching!

"Zi Ji! Stop acting up. Say what you want clearly."

Gu Yuena scolded with a cold face.

Zi Ji immediately shrunk down, lowering her head and pitifully said:

"Big sis, Brother-in-law wants to give me away!"

"Xue Qinghe" stiffened under Gu Yuena's gaze and quickly waved her hands.

"Nothing to do with me!"

Gu Yuena turned to Dan Heng, gently asking:

"Husband, what happened? How did you upset Zi Ji?"

Zi Ji puffed her cheeks in indignation.

Dan Heng was baffled. "I... I was just relaying a message..."

He didn't mean anything by it, yet somehow he became the villain?

"That's not true! Brother-in-law, he..." Zi Ji began embellishing the story.

"???" Dan Heng was speechless.

Did his words really have that many hidden meanings?

Is this what it's like when women start overanalyzing things?

Dan Heng felt like his head was about to explode.

"Mr. Dan Heng, I... I have to return now. You don't need to see me off!"

"Xue Qinghe" wiped her mouth and bolted.

Gu Yuena frowned and tugged Dan Heng's sleeve.

"Husband, we haven't finished talking yet."

"..." Dan Heng could only sit back down.

After hearing everything, Gu Yuena seemed amused.

Zi Ji snuggled up to Gu Yuena and declared:"Big sis, I'm never leaving you! I want to stay with you forever!"

"Alright, alright..." Gu Yuena chuckled and patted her head.

"Now, let's discuss how to punish Husband." She cleared her throat, pretending to be serious.

Zi Ji immediately proposed, "Let Brother-in-law sleep outside! Tonight I'll sleep with Big Sis!"

"Okay." Dan Heng agreed instantly.

Gu Yuena frowned. "No way!"

Then her eyes turned sharp as she pinched Zi Ji's cheek.

This little dragoness dared to sabotage her good thing?

Zi Ji looked pitifully at her.

Can't even fulfill her wish to sleep with Big Sis?

Is it really that comfortable to stay with that lecherous Dan Heng?

"How about this—we double Husband's punishment!" Gu Yuena said with a grin.

"What punishment?"

The three girls were full of curiosity.

They didn't know about the bet between Dan Heng and Gu Yuena.

All were confused.

Gu Yuena smiled at Dan Heng. "Husband, no running away."

"..." Dan Heng's mouth twitched, but he nodded.

"Big sis, what's the punishment?"

Zi Ji asked excitedly.

Gu Yuena pinched her cheek again. "Adult matters. Children shouldn't ask."

Zi Ji's cheeks were bright red, looking aggrieved.

Still, seeing Gu Yuena stand up for her made her happy.She smirked at Dan Heng smugly.

"..." Dan Heng shook his head in defeat.

Women are not to be trifled with!

That night—

The next morning, the three girls who hadn't slept all night finally understood what the punishment was.

Bi Ji rubbed her eyes and sat up from the table.

"I need to prep the ingredients... Zi Ji, you..."

She looked at Zi Ji still lying on the bed, red-faced and grinning foolishly one moment, gritting her teeth the next.

Was she okay?

Was Zi Ji losing her mind?

Bi Ji approached her—

"Stop right there!" Zi Ji cried.

Her blushing face turned awkward.

"Bi Ji, I'm up! Go get the ingredients. I'll clean the house today! Didn't we agree to divide the chores? Can't let you do everything!"

She grew more and more righteous as she spoke—Even moved herself.

"..."

Bi Ji twitched, shook her head, and walked out.

The next morning—

The Elemental Teams gathered at the Heaven Water Team's room.

No one had returned to their respective homes.

Xue Wu stood by the door, watching Shui Yue'er.

"Yue'er, the fight against Blue Tyrant Team is tomorrow. You're not still planning to visit that librarian, are you?"

Shui Yue'er chuckled nervously, "No, I just wanted to breathe some fresh air."

No one believed her.

Shui Bing'er said, "After seeing their battle against Shrek Team... I think, if Zhu Zhuqing fights, we might have less than a fifty percent chance. But if she doesn't..."

That would be pure humiliation.

Even Fire Team got a full-strength fight.They didn't?

Huo Wu added, "If Zhu Zhuqing does fight, you might still counter her in some ways. Blue Tyrant Team likes to manipulate the environment. You should use the same strategy to counter them."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other. That was actually a good idea.

Blue Tyrant had proved how useful terrain was.

Why couldn't they do the same?

"Good idea. Let's train for that today." Shui Bing'er agreed.

Feng Xiaotian asked, "If Heavenly Water wins, are we heading back right away? Xiao Wu, we're heading the same direction..."

Huo Wu rolled her eyes. "You can go. I'm staying!"

"What?" Everyone looked surprised.

Forget Blue Tyrant's resources—they only had that one 'Old Teacher' who seemed valuable.

But he was their team's instructor. Would he even teach others?

If not, then what was the point?

Huo Wu said confidently, "Easy. Just be shameless!"

"..."

Everyone was awkward.

They were all top talents. Shamelessness? That was tough...

Shui Yue'er clapped. "She's right! We're soul masters! Strength first! So what if we're a little embarrassed? I say even our instructors should stay!"

Xue Wu sneered, "You? Is it about studying? Or that librarian? You're not even subtle!"

Shui Yue'er blushed. "It's just... convenient, okay?"

Huo Wu's face turned stiff.

Truth was, she stayed... also for a certain librarian!

In the library, Poison Douluo came to see Dan Heng.

He told him, "After work today, I'll take you to the Imperial Archive. Those books are national treasures—never released to the public."

Dan Heng happily agreed.

Poison Douluo peeked at what Dan Heng was writing—it was a formula.

"What's this?"

"A facial mask. For skincare."

Dan Heng smiled.

He wanted to gift Gu Yuena something.

It might not mean much to her strength-wise, but it was a token of affection.

And she did do those beauty routines often.

"Make me one too," Poison Douluo said.

"Sure."
