Honeymoon!

In the Main Room, Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged on the floor. In the darkness, two green points of light appeared behind her—the eyes of the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul.

The Soul Power around her gradually settled. She had just broken through to the next rank.

Zhu Zhuqing was now a level thirty-three Soul Elder.

Before this, Gu Yuena had made a bet using Zhu Zhuqing. If Zhu Zhuqing could reach level thirty-three in the same amount of time or less, Dan Heng would have to agree to one of her conditions.

Though she had taken a shortcut, Zhu Zhuqing had indeed broken through to level thirty-three.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and saw that both Dan Heng and Gu Yuena had come out. She hurriedly rose and bowed. "Master, Master's Wife..."

Dan Heng gave a slight nod. "Not bad. You worked hard."

There was not much surprise on Gu Yuena's face. If Zhu Zhuqing had not suddenly leveled up, she would already have made good things happen.

Still, Zhu Zhuqing reaching level thirty-three was a good thing for her as well.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Dan Heng and asked, "Husband, according to our agreement, you should grant me one request, right?"

Dan Heng hummed and looked at Gu Yuena. "But it can't be too excessive."

Gu Yuena parted her small lips, then swallowed the absurd demand that had nearly slipped out.

With Zhu Zhuqing right beside them, it was not appropriate for her to say something so unsuitable for children.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Husband, come to think of it, we haven't gone on a honeymoon since we got married. How about we go on one?"

"Where to?" Dan Heng did not seem particularly opposed.

For one thing, ever since the city lord's gift incident, his coworkers had still been giving him strange looks. Going somewhere quiet to avoid them might lessen the impact of the matter.

For another, the curator had been nagging in his ear these past few days, saying he should take his bargain wife on a honeymoon.

Since that was the case, as long as it did not disrupt his peaceful life, there seemed to be no harm in making the trip.

"Let's go to Star Luo City?" Gu Yuena suggested with a curl of her lips.

Gu Yuena had not forgotten the Husband Improvement Plan. Dai Mubai did not dare offend her Husband now, so he could not be dragged into the whirlpool of power. As for pushing Dan Heng into it herself, she could not bear to do that.

In that case, she might as well send her Husband straight to Star Luo City.

With Zhu Zhuqing there, would she still need to worry about trouble not coming to find them?

She refused to believe that, just like now, no one would dare come provoke her Husband.

Dan Heng frowned. "Star Luo City is very far away. The journey alone will take several days, and..."

Gu Yuena hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Dan Heng's arm, saying softly, "Husband~ The most prosperous cities on Douluo Continent are Heaven Dou City, Star Luo City, and Spirit City. Spirit City is the closest, but there's nothing fun there..."

"And Star Luo City is huge. We won't run into any trouble..."

Gu Yuena looked at Dan Heng with innocent eyes.

Dan Heng considered it. Spirit City truly could not be chosen; there were too many Titled Douluo there.

Moreover, he saw things very clearly. Spirit Hall was absolutely a place rife with trouble.

It was best to stay far away. The same went for Heaven Dou City, where the various powers were deeply intertwined. Star Luo City, on the other hand, did have Zhu Zhuqing as a ticking time bomb, but as Gu Yuena said, they simply had to keep others from seeing Zhu Zhuqing.

"All right..." Dan Heng agreed.

Gu Yuena rose on tiptoe and kissed Dan Heng on the cheek. "Husband, you're the best!"

As she spoke, she pulled Dan Heng back into the bedroom.

Bang... The door closed again.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked at the sight. So Master and Master's Wife had come over just to flaunt their affection, and they did not care at all that she had broken through to level thirty-three, right?

The next day.

Dan Heng went to the library to ask the curator for leave.

Going to Star Luo City would probably require around a month off. The curator was extremely supportive and even said Dan Heng could take as long as he wanted.

He would not even let Dan Heng work today, telling him to hurry and prepare so he would not keep Gu Yuena waiting too long.

"..." Dan Heng thought about it and went east to buy some books so he could read them on the road.

Although it was supposed to be a honeymoon, Gu Yuena actually wanted to bring Zi Ji and Zhu Zhuqing along as well. He had to find a way to keep things peaceful. Staying somewhere and reading seemed like a good option.

He had only just arrived at East City Street, where traveling merchants gathered, when a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Dan Heng... Dan Heng..."

Dan Heng turned around.

Zhao Wuji was gripping a "pig head" by the shoulder as he ran over at high speed.

He stopped in front of Dan Heng and kicked the pig head behind the knee, forcing him to kneel.

"Hurry up and apologize to Dan Heng!" Zhao Wuji cursed.

Dan Heng was slightly startled. He looked at the "pig head." Though the man's face was swollen beyond recognition, his eyes reduced to slits, and even his body seemed puffed up a whole size, Dan Heng still recognized him.

"Ma Hongjun...?"

"Y-Yes... Sorry, Dan Heng..." Ma Hongjun's voice was slurred, and his body swayed unsteadily.

Zhao Wuji had beaten him badly. He was still dazed even now!

With a flattering smile, Zhao Wuji looked at Dan Heng with a face full of fawning deference and continued, "Dan Heng, this little bastard actually took you to that kind of place. It's truly detestable. I've already taught him a harsh lesson..."

"There's no need for this." Dan Heng shook his head.

People around them had all turned to look, curious about what was happening.

Dan Heng frowned slightly. He did not like drawing attention.

Zhao Wuji's eyes were filled with admiration as he said in a low voice, "If Dan Heng hadn't acted, all of us from Shrek would probably have been left behind in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Dan Heng, we're deeply grateful to you. If there's anything you need us to do, please don't hesitate to ask."

Zhao Wuji followed beside Dan Heng, nodding and bowing.

This man was a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse with a kind disposition. If he could earn this man's favor...

Wouldn't he be able to swagger anywhere in the future?

This was a heaven-sent opportunity. Zhao Wuji was unwilling to let it slip away so easily.

Dan Heng frowned. "No, I need nothing. And I haven't done anything. You may have misunderstood something."

Zhao Wuji froze. He had practically thrown himself at Dan Heng to pledge his loyalty. He was even a Soul Sage, yet Dan Heng would not acknowledge it?

"Dan Heng..."

Zhao Wuji watched Dan Heng's retreating back, but he did not dare follow.

Dan Heng clearly did not want to interact with him. If Zhao Wuji forced the matter, he would only earn Dan Heng's displeasure.

With reddened eyes, Ma Hongjun muttered, "Teacher Zhao, you kissed the horse's leg instead of its ass. You came over with nothing but dry thanks, and you beat me into this state. Why would Dan Heng want you?"

Zhao Wuji immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun. "Looks like you haven't been beaten enough!"

Ma Hongjun shuddered and hurriedly said, "Teacher Zhao, even if you want to beat someone, you can't just beat me! Boss Dai isn't any good either. He's even got his eye on Dan Heng's disciple!"

"What?!" Zhao Wuji's face darkened, and he immediately flew into a rage.

Offending a reclusive Titled Douluo—wasn't that inviting disaster upon Shrek Academy?!
