Husband, You've Worked Hard

The rain over the Small Town was still falling. Beneath the curtain of rain, the entire city seemed to be wreathed in mist.

On the streets, atop the walls, and outside the city, everyone had run for shelter.

Yet one figure stood upon the city wall, looking down at the Small Courtyard below.

Above him, there seemed to be an invisible barrier.

The rain could not fall upon him.

Di Tian's expression was calm, but a thoughtful look had surfaced in his eyes.

Just moments ago, he had sensed a spatial disturbance, then watched with his own eyes as the Water Azure Dragon sped toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dark clouds stretched across the sky, pouring down a river's worth of water that connected to the Water Azure Dragon.

Although the Water Azure Dragon had released almost no aura, Di Tian could still discern the power contained within it from its speed and momentum.

He had tried to catch up and stop it, but the instant before he came into contact with the Water Azure Dragon, his mind went blank.

Because he had discovered a terrifying fact.

The Water Azure Dragon's power was continuously weakening. At the moment he caught up to it, he had even felt that he might die from the aftershock.

Yet by the time he watched it enter the Star Dou Great Forest from afar, its threat had already fallen to the level of a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo.

"What is he trying to do?"

"Is this the power the Lord seeks to obtain?"

Di Tian pondered. He had originally intended to find an opportunity to test Dan Heng.

Dan Heng's temperament was far too placid, and he had almost never made a move. If he had lost his power like the Lord, then all the humiliation the Lord was suffering now would have been meaningless.

Now, he was immensely relieved that he had not alerted the enemy.

"Di Tian, how has your observation gone?" A voice suddenly sounded beside Di Tian.

Space rippled, and Gu Yuena silently appeared.

Di Tian hurriedly bowed, then used Soul Power to evaporate the rain above them.

"My Lord, your injuries have not yet healed..."

Under normal circumstances, even if Gu Yuena recuperated for another ten thousand years, she would still be unable to go out normally.

The fact that she had come out now while risking further deterioration of her injuries made Di Tian feel incomparably stifled. He believed it was his own incompetence that had forced the Lord to feign cordiality with Dan Heng.

She had even used spatial transfer just now, which was greatly detrimental to her recovery.

Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena nervously, but unexpectedly discovered that her cheeks were slightly flushed. This seemed to be more than simply surging blood and qi; there was also an indescribable emotion within it.

Gu Yuena looked at the Small Courtyard below. The lights in the room had not yet gone out.

Good, she had returned at just the right time!

She had only one thought now: to throw herself into Dan Heng's arms and feel the warmth of her Husband's chest.

"It is nothing. You need not keep watch here. I have already..."

Gu Yuena suddenly coughed twice, covering her mouth with her hand. When she lowered it, a small patch of bright red blood stained her palm.

"My Lord!" Di Tian's pupils constricted as he became immensely alarmed.

Gu Yuena placed her hand beyond the invisible barrier. The rain washed over it, and the bloodstain was cleansed away in the blink of an eye.

She looked calmly at Di Tian and shook her head. "There is no problem."

Di Tian's eyes were full of self-reproach as he respectfully said, "My Lord, but you... if you go now, would that not expose the fact that you are not an ordinary person?"

Gu Yuena was slightly stunned, then shook her head. "We have an understanding. I will pretend not to know his unusual nature, and he will treat me the same way."

"Enough. Stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Yuena was somewhat irritated. The injury from spatial transfer made her chest feel as though it were being roasted.

At a time like this, she only wanted to return to her Husband's side.

An umbrella appeared in her hand. She then leaped downward, drifting toward Dan Heng's Small Courtyard.

Di Tian sighed at the sight and thought to himself, The Lord has sacrificed too much for us soul beasts...

Inside the bedroom.

Dan Heng had just been about to rest. He had shared a bed with Gu Yuena for nearly two months, and now that he was sleeping alone, her lingering fragrance remained on the pillow beside him while she herself was nowhere to be seen. It really did stir up an inexplicable feeling within him.

"Husband, were you thinking about me?"

A sweet voice came from the doorway.

Dan Heng, who had just been about to turn out the light, turned around and saw Gu Yuena standing at the door in a white dress. Her cheeks were flushed, and her star-bright eyes were filled with his reflection.

Gu Yuena quickly stepped forward and threw herself into Dan Heng's arms.

Dan Heng's body swayed. His hands lifted slightly, and he seemed at a loss.

Her soft body, carrying a sweet fragrance, was almost like water, threatening to melt his flesh and bones.

Gu Yuena grabbed his wrist and placed his hand around her waist.

"Husband, I missed you so much..." Gu Yuena pressed against Dan Heng's chest, her voice muffled.

At that moment, she could hear Dan Heng's deep, powerful heartbeat quicken by roughly ten percent.

That meant her Husband had feelings for her!

He would also be captivated by her charm.

The smile on Gu Yuena's face became even more radiant. Her cheeks had already been flushed from her surging blood and qi, but now they were red enough to drip blood. She raised her head, her hazy eyes gazing up at Dan Heng.

Dan Heng's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt at a loss.

He still found it difficult to accept this level of intimacy.

"You..."

"Husband, shouldn't normal married couples be doing even more intimate things by now?" Gu Yuena's voice carried a trace of resentment.

Her gaze seemed to possess warmth. Dan Heng's face felt as though it had been scalded, and he did not even dare look at Gu Yuena.

His collar was suddenly pulled open, and a slightly cool little hand slipped inside, pressing against his chest.

Like a feather, it lightly brushed over the contours of his pectoral muscles.

As those slender, jade-like fingers caressed him, his heartbeat grew even fiercer, as though it were about to burst through his broad chest.

Dan Heng swallowed and instinctively stepped back. The bed was behind him, and he fell onto it. Gu Yuena followed, pressing down on him, and they swayed once like a small boat.

It gave Dan Heng an exceptional experience.

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena locked eyes. In Gu Yuena's eyes, Dan Heng seemed to see countless stars, and his consciousness dazed for an instant.

"No..." Dan Heng suddenly realized that if things continued like this, they would likely go beyond his expectations.

Gu Yuena had just been about to climb higher when a burst of Soul Power fluctuations suddenly came from the Main Room.

The Soul Power fluctuation was like a lamp suddenly lighting up in the night, instantly shattering the amorous atmosphere between them.

Gu Yuena sighed in frustration. In order to return as quickly as possible and consummate things with her Husband, she had even been willing to let her injuries worsen.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing's breakthrough and advancement had interrupted them!

The heat on Dan Heng's face rapidly faded. He took several deep breaths, then pushed Gu Yuena off him.

"Let's go take a look." Dan Heng fell silent for a moment before speaking.

Gu Yuena let out a faint sigh and nodded.

"Husband, now that Zhu Zhuqing has broken through to level thirty-three, don't forget what you promised me. You have to fulfill one of my wishes."

Only after reminding him did Gu Yuena feel a little better, and she followed Dan Heng out of the bedroom.

With today's breakthrough, could the duck already in her mouth still fly away?
