Husband Improvement Plan

For the sake of preserving his peaceful life, Dan Heng compromised. He was willing to become fake husband and wife with Gu Yuena.

The two returned to the library and announced the news.

At once, the curator had the library close, and all the employees went to prepare Dan Heng's wedding.

"???" Dan Heng immediately caught the scent of a conspiracy.

Especially when he saw Gu Yuena give the curator a large sum of gift money.

Wait, had these people really come prepared?

While everyone else was preparing the bridal chamber, Gu Yuena blinked at Dan Heng. "From today onward, we're husband and wife!"

"..." Dan Heng twitched his lips, somehow feeling as though he had fallen into a trap.

Dan Heng's house stood on the outskirts of Small Town, in a remote location. It resembled a small farmhouse courtyard, with a vegetable garden in front. Inside, there was only a sitting room and one bedroom.

The courtyard was small and quick to decorate. With the combined efforts of more than a dozen people, it was soon dressed up like a bridal chamber.

They had prepared a red carpet, red silk, and other wedding items long ago.

There was even a band that came over playing drums and wind instruments.

"???" Dan Heng was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at Gu Yuena beside him, who resembled a fairy, could his peaceful life really continue?

At this time, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.

Most of them were women. When they heard that Dan Heng was getting married, they all revealed sorrowful expressions before angrily demanding to know who the bride was.

But upon seeing Gu Yuena, they fell silent.

The lively wedding lasted until nightfall.

The guests gradually departed.

In the end, only Dan Heng and Gu Yuena remained in the bridal chamber.

Surrounded by the curator and the others, Dan Heng had been dressed in Wedding Clothes, and he felt rather uncomfortable in them.

He looked at the graceful figure sitting on the bed beneath a red veil.

By now, if he still did not realize he had been played, he would be too foolish.

"You..." Dan Heng hesitated.

There was only one wooden bed in the bedroom. It was more than spacious enough for one person, but if two people slept on it, their bodies would inevitably touch.

Gu Yuena could actually see very clearly through the red veil.

Although she was still seriously injured, she was not a helpless, fragile woman. She possessed combat strength at the level of a Soul Emperor.

"Husband...? Is there something you want to say to me?"

Gu Yuena asked sweetly.

Gu Yuena was certain that Dan Heng was the person who had saved her from the hands of the gods.

As long as she tied Dan Heng to the chariot of the soul beasts, they would have hope of counterattacking the Divine Realm.

Dan Heng frowned slightly. "Our marriage is fake. There's no need to address me like that."

"Fake? What is fake?"

Gu Yuena's voice carried a hint of confusion.

"???" Dan Heng's eyes flickered as he stared at Gu Yuena in shock.

"You said we would pretend to get married."

Dan Heng explained.

Gu Yuena shook her head, a trace of amusement in her voice. "No, it isn't fake. With a matchmaker's words and the witness of family and friends, how could we possibly be a fake couple?"

"!!!"

Dan Heng rubbed his forehead. It was obvious now that she had gone back on her word and intended to turn the act into reality.

Dan Heng sighed and said no more. The die had been cast. He had already boarded Gu Yuena's pirate ship, and there was no getting off. If he wrote a letter of divorce, it would only create even more trouble.

He hated trouble. Rather than clash and fight, it was better to let things take their course.

Hearing Dan Heng sigh, the corners of Gu Yuena's lips curled up further beneath the red veil.

She had only been in contact with Dan Heng for a little over a day, but this was not the first time she had seen him. Three years ago, she had arrived in this Small Town and secretly observed Dan Heng's life.

Bit by bit, his figure had already filled her heart.

So this was not a spur-of-the-moment attraction to his looks, nor was she selling her body. It was Gu Yuena's long-planned affection.

Dan Heng then walked over to Gu Yuena, lifted the red veil, and looked at her breathtakingly beautiful, delicate face. Calmly, he said, "Eat something."

"No, I'm not hungry..." Gu Yuena shook her head and looked at Dan Heng with a grin.

Dan Heng gave a hum and looked toward the somewhat narrow bed.

"At this time, I..."

"At this time, you should be going to sleep," Gu Yuena finished for him.

"???"

Dan Heng glanced at Gu Yuena in surprise.

A flush spread across Gu Yuena's pretty face as she looked at the narrow wooden bed.

Since they were already husband and wife, something would definitely happen between them, right?

Though she had long realized this would happen and thought she had prepared herself, the moment she thought of Dan Heng... her mouth went dry, and she wanted a drink of water.

"I'll sleep in the guest room." Dan Heng reached for his pillow.

Gu Yuena suddenly grabbed his wrist. Her large, watery eyes looked at Dan Heng as she said softly, "No... no need. We're husband and wife. Naturally, we should both sleep here..."

"Are you sure?" Dan Heng asked.

Gu Yuena lowered her eyes and gave a quiet hum.

Dan Heng looked at her, put down the pillow, and began taking off his clothes.

"!!!"

"What are you doing?!"

Like a startled rabbit, Gu Yuena stared at Dan Heng with a crimson face.

"Sleeping," Dan Heng said.

"Oh... oh!"

Gu Yuena took a deep breath. Watching Dan Heng remove his outer robe, her face grew even redder.

She bit her lower lip, waging a mental struggle.

Since she had married Dan Heng and wanted to rely on his strength in the future, the two of them would sooner or later reach this point.

Then there was nothing to hesitate over. Anyway...

Gu Yuena made up her mind. Just as she was about to undo the buttons on her clothes, she saw Dan Heng climb into the inner side of the bed, pull the blanket over himself, and go to sleep without any intention of taking things further.

"???" A mist gradually rose in Gu Yuena's eyes.

Her nervousness turned into disappointment and indignation.

What an unromantic bastard!

The next day, Dan Heng did not accept the vacation the curator offered him and left early in the morning.

Gu Yuena remained alone in the empty room, an inexplicable smile on her face.

She was tidying up the room when a figure appeared at the doorway.

Watching Gu Yuena clean the room like an ordinary woman, Di Tian wore a conflicted expression, as though he wanted to speak but could not.

He could not believe that his lord would do such things.

Gu Yuena's expression changed. She would not embarrass herself before her subordinate, so she hurriedly put on a solemn face. "This person once saved me from the hands of the gods. If he can lead the soul beasts, perhaps we may restore our former glory in the future!"

Di Tian immediately showed a look of realization. No wonder his lord had humbled herself like this. So she wanted to rely on that man's strength.

In truth, the relationship between the two of them must be awful, right?

After all, that man had humiliated his lord by making her do things only human women did.

Gu Yuena added, "According to my observations, his life is too dull. If no one pushes him, he will not be willing to work for the soul beasts."

"Therefore, we must make a plan to make him strive for improvement! We'll start by experimenting on Douluo Continent and have him become its supreme ruler!"
