Self-Improvement Plan, Ready to Begin

The couple had nearly toured all of Star Luo City before Gu Yuena finally ended their date to her satisfaction.

The two returned to the hotel beneath the moonlight.

The lights had already dimmed, and all was quiet. Most people had gone to sleep.

As she pushed open the door, Gu Yuena suddenly felt reluctant to part.

"Our first date is ending just like this..."

She actually wanted something more intimate to happen with Dan Heng!

Especially after the Little Azure Dragon plushie Dan Heng had given her, she understood his sincerity. Their relationship was gradually growing warmer.

She believed that sooner or later, they would become a real married couple!

Just as she was about to close the door, a servant suddenly called out.

"Esteemed guests, please wait..."

Dan Heng opened the door and looked doubtfully at the servant hurrying over.

With a smile on his face, the servant handed Dan Heng a bill with both hands.

After taking it and glancing over its contents, Dan Heng's expression immediately changed.

It listed the cost of Zi Ji's meals that day: over three thousand Gold Soul Coins!

She had ordered every signature dish and wine the hotel had to offer!

"..." Dan Heng's mouth twitched.

After saving up for so many years, he did not even have a thousand Gold Soul Coins in his pocket!

Maybe he should just sell Zi Ji and pretend he did not know her.

Gu Yuena leaned over for a look, and her pretty face darkened.

She had told Zi Ji to eat whatever she wanted, but this Little Female Dragon truly had no idea how to hold back!

She had actually picked only the expensive things?!

Seeing the change in their expressions, the servant explained awkwardly, "Miss Zi Ji found our hotel's food unpalatable, so she had us bring out our finest stored delicacies, along with aged wine... We did not induce Miss Zi Ji in any way, and we had already warned her beforehand..."

The servant was even afraid that Dan Heng and his wife would refuse to pay.

Dan Heng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If he continued maintaining a stable life, he would never be able to repay this debt.

But if he did not pay, the hotel probably would not let the matter rest.

Gu Yuena forced a smile. "Put it on our tab for now. We'll settle it all when we leave."

"Th-this... very well."

The servant nodded and left.

Dan Heng shut the door. Gu Yuena's pretty face was solemn as she gritted her teeth. "Husband, go to sleep first. I'm going to have a talk with Zi Ji."

Dan Heng gave a sound of acknowledgment and did not stop Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena pushed the door open and left.

Smack...!

Smack, smack, smack...!!!

In the room, Zi Ji lay sprawled across the bed. Her dress had been pulled down, and her full, snowy peaks seemed covered in cherry blossoms.

Zi Ji bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Gu Yuena with a face full of grievance.

Her Lady had clearly said she could eat whatever she wanted. She had merely wanted to eat something good, so why was she being treated like this?

Besides, those dishes had not even been as tasty as what Old Pervert cooked.

She was being wronged to death!!!

Gu Yuena sat beside her, panting heavily, her hands even trembling slightly.

Her injury had worsened. She had gotten angry, used divine power, and now needed to rest for a while again.

Seeing this, Zi Ji forgot all her grievances and hurriedly crawled before Gu Yuena. Supporting herself with her upper body, she asked worriedly, "Elder Sister, your injury..."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't... shouldn't have eaten so much and made Elder Sister angry..."

Zi Ji panicked, terrified that Gu Yuena might be harmed by her anger.

Gu Yuena shook her head. "Get dressed! Di Tian will be here soon!"

She took several deep breaths and suppressed her rage.

Anger had attacked her heart. She needed to recover and could not keep going like this.

Zi Ji did not dare anger Gu Yuena again. She hurriedly got off the bed, stood to one side with her head lowered, and looked as though she knew and admitted her mistake.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a figure flashed inside.

It was Di Tian, dressed in black.

"Greetings—"

"Enough, no need for nonsense." Gu Yuena spoke bluntly.

"Your... your body..."

Di Tian keenly noticed Gu Yuena's condition, and concern appeared on his face.

Gu Yuena shook her head. "That is not important. Di Tian, I have two tasks for you now."

Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena. As the Dragon God's former guard, he carried out every one of Gu Yuena's orders with strict devotion.

"First, find me some Gold Soul Coins. At least around ten thousand."

Gu Yuena said calmly.

"Elder Sister, I can do it too!" Not to be left out, Zi Ji wanted to make Gu Yuena a little happier.

Gu Yuena glared at her. Why they needed to earn Gold Soul Coins—did this Little Female Dragon seriously not understand?!

"As you command!" Di Tian answered.

Di Tian glanced at Zi Ji beside him. Though there was something odd about his gaze, Zi Ji's butt did seem to have grown much fuller than before.

Could Zi Ji really have succeeded?

Had she made Dan Heng unable to tear himself away, replacing the humiliation suffered by her Lady?

Thinking this, Di Tian felt a measure of respect for Zi Ji.

"The second matter... Husband's... the Self-Improvement Plan concerning Dan Heng can begin. Di Tian, you may give it a push from the shadows, but do not make it too obvious..."

"You know where to begin, right?"

Gu Yuena did not spell it out. She trusted Di Tian's intelligence.

Compared to Zi Ji, the Little Female Dragon who only knew how to anger her until her chest hurt, Di Tian was so reliable it almost brought tears to her eyes!

Now that she knew her place in her husband's heart, she no longer worried that hastily activating the Self-Improvement Plan would make him drive her away.

Di Tian nodded. "I understand!"

Zi Ji stared at Di Tian with a face full of indignation. What was worse about me? Why did Her Lady value Di Tian so much?

The next day.

While Dan Heng, Gu Yuena, and the others were having breakfast in one of the hotel's private rooms.

There was suddenly a knock at the door.

"Come in."

A servant entered first.

Dan Heng remembered him. He was the one who had delivered the bill the previous night.

"Mr. Dan Heng, Miss Gu Yuena, your bill has already been settled by Mr. Charles," the servant said with a smile.

Dan Heng and Gu Yuena exchanged a look, but neither found an answer in the other's eyes.

Where had this Charles come from?

Why was he helping them settle their bill?

The servant continued, "Mr. Charles is the Royal Guard Captain of the Star Luo Empire, as well as an earl. He says he hopes to come in, meet with you all, and have a conversation."

Spending several thousand Gold Soul Coins just to ask for a meeting.

To be honest, Dan Heng was quite resistant. This was definitely going to be a major nuisance!

A flash of delight appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes.

Had Di Tian begun making his move?

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale. As the Royal Guard Captain, Charles surely knew her.

If he discovered her identity, would that not reach the Star Luo Royal Family?

Just as Dan Heng was about to refuse.

A hearty laugh rang out.

A well-dressed middle-aged man entered as well, his eyes immediately turning toward the women in the private room.

When he saw that all three women possessed breathtaking beauty, including the strangely familiar Zhu Zhuqing, Charles froze for a moment. How many lifetimes of blessings had this man accumulated?!

"...Forgive my presumptuous interruption, everyone..."

Charles said.
