Gu Yuena: Face-to-face Output?

Zi Ji glared with her beautiful eyes. Much of her seductive charm had vanished, replaced entirely by anger.

Though dragons were not as fastidious as humans, picking up the Iced Waxberry from the ground and eating the rest still made her stomach churn, as if she had swallowed poison.

And all of this had been brought about by the Old Pervert before her!

Zi Ji clenched her fists, dearly wanting to punch Dan Heng's young, handsome face.

He had made her this miserable with just a few words, yet he still looked so calm and unruffled.

Was he trying to tell her that dealing with her required no effort at all?

"Di Tian, the Old Pervert I'm facing is even harder to deal with than you imagined!" Zi Ji snorted, heavily setting the plate on the table before sitting across from Dan Heng again.

Dan Heng's eyelid twitched as he glanced at Zi Ji.

This aggressive "Sister-in-law" was even angrier now.

She was just like Blade—a blazing ball of fire. No matter what he did, it would only become hot oil feeding the flames.

So, he chose to keep quiet and avoid her.

"You should rest here for now. Gu Yuena will be back soon. I'm feeling a little tired, so I'll go to the bedroom first..." Dan Heng said as he walked toward the bedroom beside them.

After taking only a few steps, he heard Zi Ji following him.

This troublesome "Sister-in-law" was as impossible to shake off as Blade.

The moment he reached the doorway, Zi Ji let out a mocking laugh.

"This is hilarious! You're a grown man, yet you use a pink blanket? How did you even pick such an ugly blanket? And that pillow is even uglier..."

Zi Ji pointed at the things on the bed and began criticizing them without mercy.

Dan Heng turned around and looked at Zi Ji in surprise.

Did girls not like this color?

Seeing Dan Heng's expression, Zi Ji became even more convinced that she had found the right angle for her Face-to-face Output. She continued, "And that stuffed toy—what even is that? A Large Water Snake? A three-year-old could make something better!"

"..." Dan Heng continued looking at Zi Ji calmly.

"Brother-in-law, you won't blame me, will you? I'm just a little too blunt, but I don't mean any harm. I just think your taste is terrible," Zi Ji said with a grin.

Taking advantage of her status as his Sister-in-law, and since the Old Pervert liked this sort of thing, he deserved to be bullied by her.

She would consider it collecting a little interest in advance for when she got gnawed on by a "dog" in the future!

Dan Heng shook his head slightly. "I don't think that. Besides, I didn't choose any of those things..."

All of Dan Heng's previous bedding had been replaced. The new items had all been chosen by Gu Yuena.

Whatever else could be said, they were truly comfortable to sleep in!

"???"

Zi Ji froze. Wait, could it be...?

Dan Heng nodded and continued, "They were bought by the person behind you—your Elder Sister."

"!!!"

In an instant, a cold sweat broke out across Zi Ji's back.

Though she would brave fire and water for her liege and was willing to feed herself to a tiger, her reverence for her liege was incomparably profound.

The Silver Dragon King was the leader of the dragon race, while she was merely a younger Little Female Dragon of the clan.

And she had just been openly ridiculing the Silver Dragon King's taste?

Even more terrifyingly, she had been overheard?

Zi Ji slowly turned around and looked at Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing, who had come up behind her.

The instant she saw Gu Yuena, her body trembled.

Although Gu Yuena currently looked like a young girl, the suppression from their shared bloodline made Zi Ji not even dare to meet her eyes.

"M-Master..."

"Are you cold?" Dan Heng asked.

...I want to kill you, you bastard! Are you deliberately enjoying my embarrassment?!

Zi Ji roared inwardly, wishing she could immediately perish together with Dan Heng.

When Gu Yuena saw Zi Ji in the room, she was also taken aback. She had thought Zi Ji would come secretly, but she had not expected her to come here and make contact with Dan Heng.

She had not exposed her true identity, had she?

If Dan Heng misunderstood and thought she had deliberately approached him, would that not affect their relationship?

"Cousin!!!"

Gu Yuena and Zi Ji called out to each other at the same time.

"..."

The two women exchanged a glance and both froze.

Zi Ji forced out a smile that looked more like a cry. "Cousin, I came to play with you. Aren't you happy to see me? Brother-in-law just hosted me, but he... he bullied me..."

The moment she mentioned it, Zi Ji felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.

"???"

Dan Heng was stunned. No, she could not just say things like that, could she?

How had he bullied her?

Was this woman here to falsely accuse him?

What could she possibly gain from doing that? This courtyard that had cost ten Gold Soul Coins?

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes. After recovering from her surprise, she immediately guessed that Zi Ji had likely not revealed her identity by coming here.

As for why she was acting this way, Di Tian must have said something that had made Zi Ji harbor a deep grudge against Dan Heng.

But just now, Zi Ji had accidentally hurt her instead? Insulted her?

"Zi Ji, come. Let's have a little private talk." Gu Yuena took Zi Ji's hand, smiling without any warmth.

She had to stop Zi Ji from continuing to target Dan Heng!

Watching the two women leave the house, Dan Heng returned to the Main Room. After only a few steps, he vaguely heard pleading coming from outside.

The corners of Dan Heng's lips could not help but curve upward slightly. Returning to the Main Room, he began asking Zhu Zhuqing about the difficulties she had encountered in her recent cultivation.

Zhu Zhuqing had indeed accumulated several questions, and she voiced them one by one.

Dan Heng nodded slightly and answered every question with pinpoint precision, almost without needing to think.

It was like how even the most unlearned college student would still seem exceptionally wise upon returning to kindergarten.

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly committed his answers to memory. The more time she spent with Dan Heng, the more she could sense the breadth of his knowledge.

At that moment, Gu Yuena and Zi Ji entered the house together.

Gu Yuena still wore a faint smile, one that seemed both enchanting and innocent.

Zi Ji followed behind her, her cheeks bright red.

They looked as if two patches of rouge had been smeared over them, red enough to be frightening.

Dan Heng's mouth twitched, and he nearly laughed aloud. Zi Ji's aggrieved appearance was more amusing than San Yueqi's strange antics when she deliberately tried to make him laugh.

Zi Ji looked up and saw Dan Heng mocking her. She gritted her pearly teeth.

It was all this Old Pervert's fault. He had made her liege pinch her cheeks hard.

And her liege had warned her not to deliberately pick fights anymore, but to get along properly with the Old Pervert.

Since they had called each other cousins before the Old Pervert, they had to continue acting according to that identity.

She even had to apologize for what she had done just now...

"Zi Ji, what are you standing there for? Didn't you have something to say to your Brother-in-law?" Gu Yuena smiled faintly. Though her smile was beautiful, Zi Ji saw it as full of threat.

Unwillingly, Zi Ji walked up to Dan Heng.

Since things had come to this, for her liege's sake, she could only directly begin the plan!

Her liege would surely be moved by her sacrifice!

Zi Ji stepped forward until her chest nearly touched Dan Heng's body. She wrapped her arms around his neck, licked her rosy lips, and made a seductive humming sound.

"Sorry~"
