Husband Improvement Plan!

The next day.

As usual, Dan Heng went to the library early in the morning.

Zhu Zhuqing got up even earlier, preparing ingredients, cleaning up after meals, then following her usual cultivation routine.

Although Gu Yuena had taken over Zhu Zhuqing's training for the next three levels, she did not have much time today.

Because Zi Ji and Di Tian had arrived.

They were both recounting matters in the living room.

Gu Yuena sat while Di Tian and Zi Ji, mindful of their place, did not dare sit as equals before their lord. Standing before her, they each reported their progress.

Di Tian wore a strange expression as he brought up Prince Zhu.

"...I can tell that he holds deep grievances against the Star Luo Royal Family. His nature is... cowardly. He can be won over completely. If my lord wishes to seize control of the Star Luo Empire, I can go take control of the Zhu Family right now."

Di Tian was eager to act. He desperately wanted to brave fire and water for his lord!

Gu Yuena waved her hand and gave Di Tian no orders.

If she merely wanted to take control of the Star Luo Empire, she had countless methods available. Why would she need to go through so much trouble now?

She wanted to awaken her husband's ambition, beginning with the Star Luo Empire, then the entire Douluo Continent, before finally attacking the Divine Realm!

Awakening her husband's fighting spirit was what mattered most!

"Do not create unnecessary complications. Our task is..."

Before her two subordinates, Gu Yuena could not show her "devoted wife" side.

After all, she still had the dignity of the Co-lord of soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King, to uphold!

Her expression turned stern as Gu Yuena continued, "Our task is to awaken Dan Heng's ambition. We must start small. Only then can Dan Heng lead us in our counterattack against the Divine Realm."

Understanding dawned on Di Tian's face. He frowned slightly and sank into thought.

Zi Ji, however, was straightforward. She asked in surprise, "What? How strong is that Old Pervert? Counterattack... My lord, did I say something wrong?"

Zi Ji immediately wilted under Gu Yuena's narrowed gaze, hurriedly lowering her head until her chin nearly sank into her chest.

Gu Yuena interrupted, "Just call him Dan Heng."

"He is an unparalleled powerhouse. You are merely a little dragon who has lived for a few tens of thousands of years, yet you dare call him that? Aren't you afraid he'll kill you with a flick of his hand? And how is he lecherous?"

Gu Yuena frowned at Zi Ji, unable to let it go.

"I'm sorry, my lord..." Zi Ji panicked inwardly.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had only been granted a few audiences with her lord, but she had never angered her before.

Yet in Old Pervert's home, she seemed to anger her lord all the time.

This was definitely all Old Pervert's fault!

"Tell me about your progress." Gu Yuena shot Zi Ji a displeased glance. Her husband had such an aloof, unworldly temperament, yet Zi Ji had labeled him an Old Pervert. How could she possibly be in a good mood?

Zi Ji's voice was somewhat weak, and her thighs trembled faintly.

"That little lecher Dai Mubai is completely bewitched by me. Whatever I ask him to do now, he'll agree!"

Though she had not let Dai Mubai take any advantage of her, a single glance from her was enough to leave him utterly infatuated.

He had even abandoned those twin girls outright!

At least before she let Dai Mubai have his way with her, he would absolutely obey her every word!

After all, Dai Mubai was a lecher!

Only through Dai Mubai had Zi Ji regained her confidence. If everyone were like Dan Heng, completely indifferent to her charms, she would start wondering whether she had become ugly!

"What are you so proud of?"

Seeing Zi Ji getting cocky made Gu Yuena somewhat annoyed.

She had actually called her husband an Old Pervert...

Zi Ji immediately behaved herself. The pride that had just risen in her was doused with a bucket of cold water.

Gu Yuena said, "Put your heads together. Think of a way to make Dan Heng strive to improve."

Zi Ji immediately raised her hand, her expression radiant. She wanted to perform well before her lord!

"Go on, then." Gu Yuena nodded slightly.

Zi Ji puffed out her ample chest. "Of course, tempt him with beauty and power! No man can refuse those things! Even if they can, they're just secretly lustful and holding themselves back!"

"When the time comes, if several hundred beautiful women strip naked and stand before Old Pervert... Dan Heng, could he still restrain himself?"

As she spoke, Zi Ji's grin widened.

She was practically bursting with pride over her brilliant idea.

This was exactly how Old Pervert should be dealt with. Wasn't he always pretending?

How could any dragon not be lustful?

He had to be secretly lustful!

Carried away with pride, she failed to notice that Gu Yuena's face had already darkened.

By the time she realized it, Gu Yuena's death glare was almost enough to burn holes through the two swollen mounds she had thrust forward.

Zi Ji hurriedly lowered her hands and bowed her head again, not daring to say another word.

She feared that if she continued, her lord would hang her up and whip her!

Gu Yuena took a light breath, rubbed her forehead, and looked toward Di Tian again.

She should never have asked Zi Ji. Her suggestion had been far too ridiculous.

She had actually doubted her husband?

Was her husband the secretly lustful sort? If he were, then how could he sleep so soundly whenever they shared a bed?

Di Tian said, "My lord, since Dan Heng does not wish to change his current life, we only need to destroy it. We can create a crisis to force him to change, such as hatred."

"Absolutely not!" Gu Yuena immediately glared at Di Tian.

She did want her husband to strive for improvement, but if she used Di Tian's method and forced him through outside pressure—

Wouldn't that affect their relationship as husband and wife?

Neither of these subordinates could offer an answer that satisfied her.

What could make her husband strive to improve happily?

Just then, Gu Yuena keenly sensed several people approaching from outside. As usual, a few losers had come to "wail" before her.

Enjoying the torment of those "losers" was one of the new amusements she had found.

"Mhm. You two leave first," Gu Yuena said without changing expression.

Di Tian and Zi Ji bowed, then vanished in a flash.

The library.

As the librarian, Dan Heng pushed a cart between rows of shelves, returning books to their original places. Pairs of eyes around him secretly watched him.

He had long grown used to it and paid them no attention.

Today, two girls who had never appeared before came to the library.

Ning Rongrong nudged Xiao Wu and said with a giggle, "Well? He's handsome enough, right? Isn't he more handsome than Dai Mubai and Oscar? Those two unreliable fools actually like an old woman."

Xiao Wu pouted. Though she kept staring at Dan Heng, she said, "What's the use of being handsome? He has to be dependable like Tang San!"

Ning Rongrong curled her lip. "All you know is your Tang San. This is what a high-quality man looks like! Just watch how I make him completely infatuated with me! I'm no worse than that old woman Zi Ji!"

Ning Rongrong was full of indignation. Unlike in the original story, she had not been beaten by Dai Mubai, but Zi Ji had thoroughly angered her.

That was why she desperately wanted to prove herself!

"Boring." Xiao Wu flicked her scorpion braid and turned to leave.
