Brother-in-law, I'll Take You Somewhere Nice

Early that morning, Dan Heng left the courtyard, and Zhu Zhuqing began receiving Gu Yuena's instruction.

Gu Yuena did not interfere with the Meditation Technique Dan Heng had given Zhu Zhuqing. Knowing she could not improve it, she instead trained Zhu Zhuqing's movement techniques.

Although the Soul Power Gu Yuena could wield was not high, she was still the Silver Dragon King who commanded the elements. She used wind elemental power and the like to create obstacles for Zhu Zhuqing's attacks, putting her through combat training.

To outsiders, however, Zhu Zhuqing looked as though she were dancing alone, darting and weaving about in a most peculiar manner.

Zi Ji squatted on the ground, cracking sunflower seeds as she watched Zhu Zhuqing train, occasionally sneaking glances at the recliner beside her.

That was Old Pervert's chair. She wanted to lie on it, thinking it had to be especially comfortable, but Gu Yuena forbade her from doing so.

Old Pervert must be too lecherous. My Lord is afraid I'll be corrupted, so she won't let me sit there!

That Old Pervert is always putting on airs. Is he really as strong as My Lord says? No matter how I look at him, it seems impossible.

Zi Ji mulled it over, completely unable to understand.

Dan Heng kept a low profile and had never displayed his strength before others.

Moreover, his power system differed from that of the Douluo Continent. It was neither Soul Power nor divine power, so neither Zi Ji nor Di Tian could sense Dan Heng's strength.

If Gu Yuena had not kept them in check, they would have long since bristled at Dan Heng.

My Lord hasn't been deceived, has she?

Zi Ji lightly tapped her forehead, when her eyes suddenly caught sight of a figure approaching the courtyard with an oily sheen all over his face.

Curling her lips, Zi Ji tossed away the sunflower seed shells in her hand. Zhu Zhuqing would sweep them up anyway.

If she did not throw down a little trash, wouldn't Zhu Zhuqing be sweeping for nothing?

"What are you doing here?" Zi Ji blocked Dai Mubai outside the gate and asked coolly.

Dai Mubai carried a Gift Box in his hand and smiled. "Zi Ji, I came to see Brother-in-law and Elder Sister. I hadn't heard that you had relatives here before. If I'd known earlier, I definitely would have prepared something better."

Dai Mubai wore a white formal suit, his golden hair combed back. When he smiled, he revealed a row of large white teeth.

He really did look somewhat well-dressed.

"Is it food?" Zi Ji gave it a sidelong glance.

"No... It's a length of fine silk."

Dai Mubai shook his head.

"Then forget it. Throw it away." Zi Ji immediately showed a look of disdain.

Dai Mubai let out an "uh," looking at Zi Ji awkwardly. "Zi Ji, this is for Brother-in-law and Elder Sister. Can... can you let me in first? I want to pay them a visit."

Dai Mubai wore a fake smile, though inwardly he was extremely irritated.

In his view, Zi Ji, this sweet, foolish girl, should have been easy to fool. He had already lowered his stance, yet he had made no progress at all.

Now she would not even let him through the gate...

"Why should I let you in? Who are you?" Zi Ji sneered. This was Old Pervert's home, so of course she could not let a little pervert in!

"I..."

Dai Mubai froze at her words, genuinely beginning to get angry.

He clenched his fists. If he had not yet even held Zi Ji's hand, he would have started shouting by now.

Did she really think Dai Mubai, the Super Male, was made of clay?

"Zi Ji, stop messing around, okay? Let me in. I just want to visit Brother-in-law and Elder Sister..." Dai Mubai forced out a smile.

Zi Ji's eyes shifted, and she suddenly pointed at Zhu Zhuqing, who was training in the courtyard.

"Let you in? If you can touch the corner of her clothes, I'll let you in. Otherwise, get lost while you still can!" Zi Ji then waved Zhu Zhuqing over.

Zhu Zhuqing walked over. She had actually noticed Dai Mubai long ago.

This fiancé of hers in name only filled her with nothing but repulsion and disgust now. She had no desire for any contact with him whatsoever.

"Zhuqing, this is the perfect chance to test what your teacher taught you. Let him chase you..."

Zi Ji grabbed Zhu Zhuqing by the shoulder and pushed her out of the courtyard, placing her over three meters away from Dai Mubai. "Start chasing her now. If you can't catch her, don't even think about coming in."

Dai Mubai grinned. "Fine! She's just a little girl."

As soon as the words fell, Dai Mubai charged at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure drifted back in an instant, leaving behind an afterimage.

Dai Mubai did not even touch her, remaining about a meter away.

He smiled and accelerated again, rushing toward Zhu Zhuqing. He moved even faster this time, yet the distance between them remained one meter.

It was as though Zhu Zhuqing were deliberately maintaining that distance!

Dai Mubai's smile stiffened somewhat. He no longer bothered maintaining his composure and suddenly sped up, but no matter how fast he moved, Zhu Zhuqing remained exactly one meter in front of him. No more, no less. She completely suppressed him!

Inside the courtyard, Gu Yuena came to Zi Ji's side and watched the two chase each other.

"Old... Brother-in-law taught her really well. Zhu Zhuqing's speed has increased by at least thirty percent, and her control over the finer details has become even more perfect!" Zi Ji narrowed her eyes and spoke honestly.

As soul beasts, they paid even more attention to speed and strength than Soul Masters did.

The corners of Gu Yuena's lips lifted slightly. "Of course."

That was her husband. Even his casual instruction was enough for Zhu Zhuqing to benefit endlessly. Those insignificant Soul Masters outside could never compare.

After watching for a while, the two women stopped paying attention.

Gu Yuena planned to bring Dan Heng lunch at noon. She cooked it herself, packed it into a lunchbox, and left.

By the time she departed, Dai Mubai had already used Martial Soul Possession. He was drenched in sweat, even sticking out his tongue as he leaned on his knees and panted. "You... What is wrong with you?"

"Why are you... so fast without even activating your Martial Soul?"

Dai Mubai could not understand it. How could she toy with him without even activating her Martial Soul?

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him coldly. "Stupid as a pig."

Naturally, the library had a lunch break.

Because of the City Lord's gift incident, Dan Heng's colleagues still treated him coldly.

He enjoyed the peace and quiet, but he knew it could not last forever.

If the impact could not be eliminated, it would sooner or later cause new problems.

Just as the lunch break began, a red-haired, chubby youth suddenly arrived at the service desk.

His plump face was full of smiles, squeezing his eyes into slits.

"Brother-in-law, do you remember me?" Ma Hongjun asked ingratiatingly.

Dan Heng frowned slightly and thought back, recalling Ma Hongjun as one of the people who had wanted to cause trouble outside his home yesterday.

He called him Brother-in-law too? It seemed Zi Ji got along quite well with them.

"Brother-in-law, I'll take you somewhere nice. Consider it a small token from your little brother..." Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and gave Dan Heng a knowing look.

Dan Heng shook his head. "I'm not going."

"Oh, Brother-in-law, come on. Don't worry, no one will know, and there won't be any danger. Although Elder Sister is very beautiful..." Ma Hongjun began buzzing around Dan Heng's ear like an oversized fly.

Dan Heng found it unbearably annoying. At last, he had someone even more irritating than Blade.

Unable to endure it any longer, he asked, "Where are we going?"

"Brother-in-law, you'll know once you come with me. I guarantee you won't want to leave..." Ma Hongjun tried to grab Dan Heng, but Dan Heng avoided him. Seeing the man's eager expression, he followed after him.

Otherwise, he would never get any peace!
