Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 170: "Dai Mubai Wants to Get Back Together? Dream On!

"She's coming, she's coming!"

The next day, the six members of Shrek Academy waited at the gate for Zhu Zhuqing.

As soon as they saw her figure, Ma Hongjun let out an excited, weird shout.

Dai Mubai slapped Ma Hongjun on the head and said irritably, "Fatty! Stop fooling around! Remember, she's your sister-in-law!"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his head and rolled his eyes. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law—first you said Zi Ji was my sister-in-law, now this one too. You're really something."

Dai Mubai gave him a glare and didn't reply. He strode quickly toward Zhu Zhuqing.

Xiao Wu sighed. "I really don't want to help Dai Mubai deceive another innocent girl."

Ning Rongrong added, "Exactly, he even tried to intimidate me once!"

Tang San tried to comfort them, "This is for all of us. If we can really bring Zhu Zhuqing into our group, then the Shrek team won't have any weak links!"

Ning Rongrong gave a small hum of agreement, glanced at the bouquet in her hands, and muttered, "I have a feeling Dai Mubai's plan is going to backfire. These flowers might not even get delivered."

Oscar chuckled. "Just watch. Boss Dai's skills with the ladies are top-notch. We just need to follow his signals and back him up."

Dai Mubai hurried to Zhu Zhuqing, wearing a bright smile and dressed neatly, looking every bit the handsome gentleman.

From appearance alone, he was definitely a top-tier hunk, and many female students nearby glanced his way.

"Zhuqing! What a coincidence to meet you here again."

"After we parted last time, I kept wondering if I'd ever see you again. Who would've thought fate would bring us together now?"

Dai Mubai smiled as he spoke.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and walked around him to leave.

To her, Dai Mubai was a useless scumbag—someone she despised the most.

It wasn't because he was unfaithful. In fact, she didn't care how many women he had.

The real issue was that Dai Mubai was stupid enough to be toyed with by someone like Zi Ji!

And on top of that, he fled from the Star Luo Empire years ago and chose to rot away instead of cultivating, wasting time chasing women.

This kind of irresponsible attitude toward life was what Zhu Zhuqing loathed the most!

Still clueless, Dai Mubai said, "Zhuqing, can we at least get to know each other again? I admit, when I saw you before, I felt a bit insecure..."

He deliberately played the weak card, his face showing a trace of sorrow.

Zhu Zhuqing coldly smiled, sidestepped his outstretched hand, and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

Dai Mubai awkwardly said, "I just want to start over with you. I'm Dai Mubai, Spirit is White Tiger. And you're Zhu Zhuqing, Spirit is Nether Cat. We're a match made in heaven..."

"Not interested. Dai Mubai, since you've come to talk, let me make it clear. I'm giving up the engagement. No matter what, I will never have anything to do with you again. From now on, we're strangers."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't bother pretending—she said it directly.

Dai Mubai's smile froze. He stared at her blankly.

He couldn't believe Zhu Zhuqing would be this bold.

The royal family of Star Luo arranged their engagement.

She dared to defy it?

"You... do you even know what you're doing?" Dai Mubai stammered, suddenly a bit scared of her.

Zhu Zhuqing answered seriously, "Of course I know. I've prepared for the worst. If I had to spend my life with a man like you, I'd rather die right now!"

"!!!" Dai Mubai gritted his teeth in fury, glaring at her as rage boiled inside him.

He was extremely proud and couldn't tolerate being looked down on—especially not by his fiancée!

"You wretch! Do you know what you're doing? If you dare to break off the engagement, think about your family! We'll both be finished!"

He lunged forward to grab her shoulder, growling.

Zhu Zhuqing easily evaded, gave him a mocking look, and sneered, "Only you will be finished. My family won't be affected. The queen of the winning side? She's my sister."

"You... you..." Dai Mubai suddenly realized the problem.

Right, he would be cast aside by the brutal laws of the Star Luo royal family, his spirit crippled, exiled to some remote wasteland.

But Zhu Zhuqing?

She'd be completely fine.

"No! You can't do this! Zhu Zhuqing, you're ruining me! You..."

Dai Mubai roared and chased after her, trying to grab her again.

The nearby students watched Dai Mubai go berserk and moved away with strange looks.

The female students whispered, "What a waste of that handsome face—turns out he's just a lunatic."

Zhu Zhuqing sneered, flickered away a few times, and easily got out of his reach.

Dai Mubai let out a roar of frustration and slammed his fist against a nearby tree.

"Creak...!"

In a hidden spot nearby, Tang San and the others had been watching.

Their faces were all odd.

Ning Rongrong giggled, "That's hilarious! This is the 'master of romance' you all bragged about? Zhu Zhuqing didn't even spare him a glance!"

Xiao Wu was laughing too, grabbing Ning Rongrong's hand. "Look at Dai Mubai's smug face—now what? He didn't even get Zi Ji or Zhu Zhuqing!"

Ma Hongjun joined in with a gloating grin, "Did I just hear something about breaking off the engagement?"

Tang San looked helplessly at them. These people have no team spirit!

How am I supposed to lead them in the future?

Yes, at this moment, Tang San was already thinking about leading the Shrek Seven Devils as his own force.

After all, he wasn't truly a young boy—he was a scheming guy who had learned secret Tang Sect techniques from a young age.

Library.

Shui Yue'er and Huo Wu had returned—they came to thank him.

"Mr. Dan Heng, that face mask you made was amazing! My acne has cleared up a lot! And it feels so cool and refreshing!"

Shui Yue'er giggled, pointing at her forehead.

Huo Wu gave a slight nod, her eyes surprised as she looked at Dan Heng.

At first, she thought he was just a regular librarian.

Then she learned he was Zhu Zhuqing's teacher—but even then, she was skeptical.

Now, she found out he was also skilled in pharmacology.

Even a simple face mask he made worked better than any cosmetic or skincare product on the market!

If he wanted, just selling face masks could make him a fortune!

Dan Heng gently shook his head, signaling that if they were just here to say this, they could go.

Shui Yue'er asked, "One more thing, Mr. Dan Heng—we're fighting Blue Tyrant Team tomorrow. Who do you think will win?"

Huo Wu also looked at him with curiosity.

Dan Heng paused for a moment. "You will."

"Ehh?! Mr. Dan Heng, you trust us that much?" Shui Yue'er's eyes sparkled.

Huo Wu was a bit surprised too. Then she asked, "Zhu Zhuqing won't be in the match?"

Dan Heng shook his head slightly and said nothing more, continuing to read.

He was currently studying records on soul tools.

He found the Douluo Continent's unique technology quite fascinating.

Shui Yue'er looked a bit upset—if Zhu Zhuqing wasn't playing, then even if they won, it wouldn't feel like a real achievement.

Meanwhile, in Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong finally summoned Yu Xiaogang.

She couldn't believe Yu Xiaogang had fallen for Hu Liena's tricks.

She had planned that scheme for Dan Heng.

How did Yu Xiaogang get caught up in it?

Today—

She wanted to prove Yu Xiaogang hadn't fallen.

She sat on the throne high above.

Below her, the steps led down layer by layer.

At the base—

Yu Xiaogang was brought in by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

After Chrysanthemum Douluo left—

Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong, his eyes full of deep emotion.

A wave of nostalgia flashed through his eyes.

Bibi Dong almost fell for that look.

But thinking of the heart-shaped stone and Hu Liena, she hardened her heart.

And at that moment—

Yu Xiaogang's expression also changed. The warmth disappeared, replaced by indifference and cold distance.

As a typical male chauvinist—

Yu Xiaogang would never allow himself to seem inferior to a woman!

Since Bibi Dong didn't want him—

Then he had no expectations either!

"Yu Xiaogang, I never imagined... you were the one advising the Heaven Dou Empire from behind. Perhaps I should've guessed. No one else has that capability."

Bibi Dong sighed.

No matter what, she was still in awe of his talent.

Yu Xiaogang chuckled lightly. "Strategies? Nothing worth mentioning. It's all obvious. It's just that the officials are too stupid—short-sighted and narrow-minded."

He held his head high with a touch of arrogance.

Looking back at history, he thought these strategies were really simple.

If only he had paid attention earlier, he could've done the same.

So he didn't feel ashamed of claiming credit.

Bibi Dong didn't find it arrogant at all—she thought he deserved it.

She continued, "Since I've found you, Yu Xiaogang, don't offer your talents to the Heaven Dou Empire anymore. A stronger empire isn't necessarily good for the continent."

Yu Xiaogang replied blandly, "Now that you've caught me, what can I say?"

Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief—she didn't want to be his enemy.

Hearing his agreement made her heart bloom with joy.

Could it be... he still has feelings for me?

But if they were to reconcile, Hu Liena had to be dealt with first.

"Xiaogang, have you been at Blue Tyrant Academy lately?"

"...Yes." Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly.

That change in her tone—

It meant Bibi Dong had forgiven him.

So, he could push a little further.

That wouldn't make her angry—on the contrary, it might make her love him more.

"Spirit Hall will arrange your accommodation. Offer your counsel to us instead, and you'll receive honors and a position worthy of your talent."

Bibi Dong said.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I'm used to a carefree life. Staying in Spirit Hall would make me feel constrained."

Bibi Dong opened her mouth but didn't push.

She stared at his plain-looking face—

And found herself completely in love with it.

Finally, she asked the question that had been bothering her most.

"Xiaogang, there are many vixens in Heaven Dou City. Be careful. They might have hidden agendas..."

She was almost explicitly hinting—

Hoping he would admit it.

Then she could explain everything to him.

Yu Xiaogang frowned and replied coldly, "No need for your concern, Your Holiness. I can tell who's genuine and who isn't. And a man like me? I wouldn't attract those kinds of women."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

He was in a hurry.

He had a tutoring session with Hu Liena soon—

That enchanting little fox had reignited the spark in his soul.

And she worshipped him.

Compared to that—

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong didn't attract him anymore.

Bibi Dong's face twisted with pain.

She already knew Hu Liena was waiting for him.

And yet, Yu Xiaogang didn't care about her—

Only about meeting Hu Liena?

He preferred a girl he'd only known for a few days over her?

Bibi Dong shut her eyes—

Tears streaming down her cheeks.

But Yu Xiaogang was too far away to see.

"Leave..." Bibi Dong waved, her voice trembling.

She held back the pain—

But hoped he'd see her vulnerability—

Rush up to hold her in his arms—

That might calm the madness inside her!

But—

Yu Xiaogang turned and left—

Without even a shred of hesitation.

"Creak..."

The door closed.

And Bibi Dong's heart clenched with it.

"He's lying." A woman's voice echoed in her mind.

Bibi Dong froze.

It was the voice of the Rakshasa God.

Since her first appearance—

She'd often spoken in Bibi Dong's mind.

"Lying about what?" Bibi Dong asked.

"The person you're looking for... it's not him."

Rakshasa directly exposed it.

Bibi Dong frowned. "No, you sensed it wrong. If it's not Yu Xiaogang, then it's no one else!"

"He's the smartest man in the world!"

She said firmly.

The Rakshasa God's tone turned mocking.

"That's love making you blind. Yu Xiaogang is a vulgar man. And he's already betrayed you."

"No! That's... that's because Hu Liena is too seductive! She pretended to be such an obedient student—no man could resist her! No!"

Bibi Dong screamed, almost hysterical.

---------------------------------

"If you're not here to read, please leave."

Dan Heng said coldly, looking at Hu Liena, who was leaning on the service desk with a smile on her face.

Hu Liena pouted, "If you're still mad about yesterday, then I apologize, okay? But you were really mean to the Master!"

She was trying to praise Yu Xiaogang indirectly—

Hoping to stir Dan Heng's jealousy.

Once a man's competitive nature is triggered—

She could toy with them both.

Dan Heng replied indifferently, "If you keep making small talk, I'll have security escort you out."

Hu Liena's smile froze.

Is this guy made of stone or what?!
