Zhu Zhuqing Breaks Through to Level 30!

Zi Ji left the next day.

She met Di Tian outside the city.

Di Tian hurriedly asked, "Zi Ji, how did it go?"

Zi Ji blinked, glanced back at the Small Town, and subconsciously said, "The food was delicious..."

"What did you say?" Di Tian looked at Zi Ji in confusion.

Zi Ji came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, dispelling the delicious flavors she had been reluctant to part with.

Old Pervert's cooking might have been excellent, but she would not be so easily bought off!

Zi Ji put on a stern face, pretending to be serious. She did not want Di Tian to discover her embarrassing behavior.

"Old Pervert is very crafty. He didn't fall for my trap! And the Lord doesn't want us involved. She told me to tell you too, not to stir up any unnecessary trouble!" Zi Ji's tone carried a hint of resentment.

It was all because of Di Tian's arrangements that she had been punished by the Lord.

She had even slept lying on her stomach last night!

Only after leaving the Small Courtyard did she dare use Soul Power to heal the swelling and pain in her butt.

Di Tian fell silent, his emotions complicated.

The Lord had sacrificed too much for the revival of soul beasts.

He wanted to ask about the Lord's current situation, but he was afraid of hearing bad news—and being powerless to do anything about it.

Zi Ji continued on her own, "Although I didn't see much, I feel that Old Pervert isn't such a bad person. There was no particular emotion in the way he looked at me. And his cooking really is delicious..."

"Hm?" Di Tian looked at Zi Ji suspiciously.

Zi Ji smiled awkwardly and licked her lips, unable to stop herself from thinking about Old Pervert's dishes.

"Still, before I left, I gave him a good lesson! If he dares bully the Lord in the future, I'll keep targeting him!" Zi Ji raised her snowy-white neck proudly.

Di Tian frowned slightly. "How did you teach him a lesson?"

A bad feeling rose in Di Tian's heart...

Inside the Small Courtyard.

Dan Heng looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, as well as the ripe vegetables in the garden, all of which had vanished without a trace. The corner of his mouth twitched.

Had they been robbed?

Their already meager household had just been dealt another blow?

Gu Yuena came over and froze when she saw the missing ingredients in the kitchen. Veins bulged at her temple as she bit her lower lip. "That bastard...!"

She had never had such an embarrassing subordinate!

She had even stolen the ingredients before leaving?

Gu Yuena knew Zi Ji was greedy, but she had not expected her to be so brazen.

This was simply making Gu Yuena lose face!

Gu Yuena could barely hold her head up. She forced a smile and said, "Husband, Zi Ji... she was probably just playing a prank. Don't lower yourself to her level. I'll go buy some groceries."

Dan Heng nodded lightly. Thinking of Zi Ji's abnormal thought process, he suddenly felt that this was not all that surprising.

Dan Heng's life quickly returned to normal.

Zhu Zhuqing no longer needed him to watch over her cultivation. As long as he gave her a little guidance after returning from work, that was enough.

Meanwhile, he resumed his routine of going back and forth between two places.

A month passed peacefully like this.

Early one morning, Dan Heng got up and went to the kitchen to cook. The ingredients had not been prepared, which surprised him slightly. At this hour, Zhu Zhuqing would usually already be training, and she would thoughtfully help him prepare the ingredients.

Yet today was very unusual. He recalled that when he had passed through the main room, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power behind the curtain had seemed to fluctuate.

"Is she about to break through?"

Dan Heng suddenly understood. Half a month ago, Zhu Zhuqing had already reached level twenty-nine.

Given Zhu Zhuqing's diligence, although she had broken through a little earlier than he had expected, it was not too outrageous.

Once he had finished making breakfast, Gu Yuena suddenly leaned in and took the porridge and side dishes herself.

Gu Yuena gently sniffed the aroma. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as her bright eyes looked at Dan Heng, filled with affection.

"Husband, Zhuqing is about to break through!"

"In one month, you actually helped her rise three levels. You... you really are amazing."

Gu Yuena spoke with great sincerity.

She had previously said she wanted to compete with Dan Heng in teaching ability, but even with her wisdom, she could not achieve such results.

When it came to teaching, Dan Heng made it seem effortless while achieving exceptional results.

Perhaps not unmatched by future generations, but at the very least, unprecedented.

Although she had become husband and wife with Dan Heng not because of his talent, seeing that Dan Heng possessed wisdom surpassing her own still made Gu Yuena genuinely happy.

Dan Heng was quite indifferent toward the result. As he walked out with Gu Yuena, he said:

"She is very diligent. That is the key."

Gu Yuena chuckled. "Husband, being too modest makes you seem hypocritical. Ask Zhuqing herself—she wouldn't dare attribute the reason to diligence alone."

A famous teacher produced outstanding students. If the direction was wrong, no matter how much effort one put in, things might only get worse and worse.

Without Dan Heng's guidance, even if Zhu Zhuqing put in ten times the effort, she would not have achieved her current results.

"Husband, we previously made a bet about whose teaching results would be better... I admit defeat. I won't bet with you on that anymore. Let's change it. Mm, if I can help her rise three levels in the same month, you have to agree to one small request of mine!"

Gu Yuena stood in front of Dan Heng and spoke solemnly.

Dan Heng looked at her and nodded lightly in agreement.

"Husband is the best!" Gu Yuena freed one hand and hooked it around Dan Heng's arm as they entered the room together.

Meanwhile, she was calculating that her plan for self-improvement could move forward!

After all, her goal was not to dominate the Douluo Continent, but to help her Husband achieve that goal!

Inside the room, Zhu Zhuqing happened to draw back the curtain. Seeing Gu Yuena carrying the dishes, she hurried forward to take them. "Master's Wife, I can do it. I was a little late today because I was about to break through..."

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, her eyes were fixed on Dan Heng.

They were full of gratitude. Because of Dan Heng, she had achieved the unimaginable feat of rising three levels in a single month!

She felt incomparably fortunate and deeply moved.

Escaping the Star Luo Empire and coming here had truly been the luckiest thing that had ever happened to her!

If her father and Elder Sister learned of her current progress, they would surely be utterly shocked, wouldn't they?

Dan Heng gave a soft grunt. "Keep up the good work."

After saying that, he sat down. To others, this was a miracle, but in his eyes, it was nothing worth boasting about.

Gu Yuena took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and said with a smile:

"Zhuqing, for the next three levels, you'll learn with Master's Wife! Master's Wife will first take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a soul ring! Master's Wife has a relative named Di Tian. He's quite strong and can help you obtain the soul ring you want."

Zhu Zhuqing thanked her repeatedly again.

Dan Heng did not care much about the relative Di Tian whom Gu Yuena had mentioned. Although he had not investigated his cheap wife's identity, he could sense that she was certainly no delicate young girl.

Since she was taking Zhu Zhuqing to hunt for a soul ring, they would definitely not encounter any danger.

He only gave Zhu Zhuqing two criteria: the age of the soul ring and the type of soul beast.

Although Gu Yuena had seemed rather dismissive at the time, she would still follow his instructions.

Once she met his standards, Zhu Zhuqing would receive a small surprise.

The departure of the two women also meant that Dan Heng could return to living alone.

But on the very first day, a guest came to the house...
