Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 178: Shrek’s Business! Yu Xiaogang Becomes a Dog!

The dispute between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Shrek Academy had no real significance to Dan Heng, and he didn't pay it much attention.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Dan Heng was currently studying soul tools. Upon researching the development of soul tools from ancient times, he found that their origins could even be traced back to the founding of the Spirit Hall.

That was tens of thousands of years ago!

This only made him feel even more incredulous.

A civilization that had been developing for tens of thousands of years still hadn't left their planet—this was almost too hard to believe!

"Dan Heng, here's the book you asked me to borrow."

Dugu Yan placed a pile of books on the counter.

Dan Heng thanked her, snapping out of his research.

Dugu Yan grinned and said, "It's nothing, there's no need for thanks! Dan Heng, do you know? Dan Yue masks have become a huge hit! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has used almost all their factories to make these masks, but they still can't meet demand! In just this month, they'll probably make millions in gold soul coins!"

Her eyes practically sparkled with excitement.

Although she didn't care much for gold soul coins, the thought of such a mountain of them falling into someone's pocket made her mouth dry.

And all of this had been accomplished by Dan Heng himself!

It was almost too unbelievable!

Dan Heng shook his head. "I'm not interested in gold soul coins. I've never touched them..."

"..." Dugu Yan's lips twitched. Well, you're talented, you have a point.

Dan Heng wasn't lying, though. A few days ago, Ning Fengzhi gave five million gold soul coins to Gu Yue Na, which never even passed through his hands and was instead invested into Blue Sea Academy.

Now, all he knew was that, for some reason, he had become one of the deans of Blue Sea Academy.

Of course, he had firmly rejected the title.

He much preferred his current peaceful life.

Dugu Yan sighed, "Sigh, sometimes I really wonder why you, Dan Heng, have wisdom that none of us have. You don't even seem that smart."

Dan Heng looked at her calmly. Was that an insult?

Dugu Yan's face turned red, and she waved her hands quickly, explaining, "Dan Heng, what I mean is, you're just so handsome! You know, sometimes, being handsome doesn't always go hand-in-hand with wisdom..."

Dan Heng hummed in acknowledgment, not bothered by her accidental offense.

He found a book related to soul tools and continued reading.

Dugu Yan sighed again, realizing that Dan Heng was silently asking her to leave.

She awkwardly turned and walked out.

Not long after, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Yin Yue would be content to be a librarian at a civilian academy, living a life of simplicity. That mindset, I believe, no one would have thought of. If it weren't for following Dugu Yan, I would probably never have guessed."

"..." Dan Heng slowly raised his head.

Standing at the service desk was a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, wearing a veil. Even though her face was hidden, one could tell she was a beauty.

Her curvaceous figure and elegant, noble aura made her resemble a moon in the night sky.

Dan Heng rubbed his brows instinctively. In some aspects, the natives of the Douluo world were incredibly sharp.

From this woman, Dan Heng could smell a strong scent of trouble.

"You've mistaken me for someone else."

Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly and smiled, saying, "I've met Mr. Dan Heng, and I knew it was you. No one else could have such an aura."

"..." Dan Heng had nothing more to say. There was no denying it.

This clever woman wasn't someone you could easily deceive.

Perhaps, sometime later, he should check out some books about memory erasure?

Tang Yuehua smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Dan Heng, since I know your intentions, I won't go against them. I actually came here to ask you for a favor."

"Speak," Dan Heng said.

Tang Yuehua started, "About that mask..."

"The mask business is managed by my wife. She makes all the decisions. I don't participate." Dan Heng directly washed his hands of it.

Tang Yuehua's eyes flashed with embarrassment. She said softly, "It's like this, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Shrek Academy..."

In short, the Haotian Sect wanted to get a share of the business and cooperate with Shrek Academy, essentially splitting the business with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi wasn't too pleased, so he consulted Gu Yue Na for her opinion.

Gu Yue Na was too lazy to deal with it and agreed with Ning Fengzhi. She said no one other than him was allowed to make the masks.

Tang Yuehua had no choice but to come to Dan Heng, seeing his position.

"Since my wife doesn't wish to participate, we'll follow her wishes."

Dan Heng responded directly.

"...Okay then." Tang Yuehua forced a smile.

If it were someone else, she could have used her superb persuasion skills to change their mind.

But not Dan Heng. She could clearly sense that Dan Heng was resolute—what he said was the final word.

If he said no, it was absolutely no.

"Mr. Dan Heng, then I'll take my leave. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your matter."

Tang Yuehua left with those words.

...

Once Tang Yuehua left, Tang Xiao quickly grabbed her by the shoulder and took her away from Shrek Academy, avoiding anyone who might be watching, and returned to Yue Xuan.

Seeing Tang Yuehua's expression, Tang Xiao immediately guessed what had happened and said casually:

"Sis, we could have just made the masks without their approval, since we already know the formula, right? Why bother getting their permission?"

Tang Yuehua shook her head and said, "Big brother, don't make trouble. If we do that, we'll not only offend Yin Yue but also... make Ning Fengzhi unhappy."

"Alright, alright. I hear you. But I was thinking, what if we change one or two ingredients? That would make it different, right?"

Tang Xiao still wasn't quite satisfied, looking at Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua pondered for a moment and then shook her head, "Don't do that, big brother. Do we really want to deceive ourselves? We'd be no better than small-time tricksters."

"..."

Tang Xiao shook his head, at a loss for what to do.

...

In the afternoon.

Flander and Liu Erlong arrived at the library to find Dan Heng, asking him to help check the mask formula.

Flander, seeing Liu Erlong's respectful attitude toward Dan Heng, was puzzled, though he still maintained a friendly demeanor.

"Mr. Dan Heng, this mask formula was made by a friend of ours. It's meant for whitening. What do you think of it?"

Flander eagerly looked at Dan Heng.

If they could start production, then they could cooperate with Shrek Academy, and gold soul coins would come flooding in just like the mask powder!

Liu Erlong sneered and said, "Flander, I didn't expect you could actually get Yu Xiaogang involved. He's probably completely captivated by that little vixen, huh?"

Flander forced a couple of awkward laughs but didn't respond.

Dan Heng scanned the formula and, after mentally simulating the effects, his brows gradually furrowed. He said gravely:

"This formula will first result in a very unpleasant smell, something pungent, and then..."

"We already know about the side effects. We plan to weaken them further. We just want to know if it has whitening effects?" Flander hurriedly asked.

Dan Heng nodded, "Yes, it does work, but the negative effects are..."

"Then that's enough! Hahaha... We're going to make a fortune! Erlong, get ready to be carried by Shrek Academy!"

Flander was overjoyed, his face flushed with excitement.

Liu Erlong smiled and added, "Alright, alright. When you're making money, don't forget to thank Mr. Dan Heng. Without his advice, you wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"Yes, yes..." Flander repeatedly thanked Dan Heng before leaving eagerly.

"..." Dan Heng frowned slightly.

While the whitening effect of the mask powder was indeed there, the negative effects were severe and varied. Most people would experience intense irritation and damage to their skin.

In truth, the whitening principle was essentially bleaching.

Even if the negative effects were reduced, the damage to the skin would still be there.

Liu Erlong glanced at Dan Heng's expression and teased, "Mr. Dan Heng, you're not upset because they're stealing your business, are you?"

Dan Heng frowned, "The negative effects are really serious. It will cause trouble."

Liu Erlong shrugged, "Even if there are side effects, it doesn't matter. You're not a woman, so you don't know what lengths women will go to to look beautiful."

Dan Heng shook his head slightly. He didn't understand, but he knew that if someone didn't end up more beautiful and instead became uglier, they could unleash terrifying destructive power.

"Blue Sea Academy should not participate directly."

Dan Heng said.

Liu Erlong paused, thinking for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Dan Heng, is this your opinion?"

Dan Heng nodded to show his agreement.

Liu Erlong sighed, "Alright, I respect your opinion. If you don't want Blue Sea Academy to be involved, then we won't produce it there."

...

In the evening.

"Xue Qinghe" came with many ingredients to Dan Heng's house.

Dan Heng was busy in the kitchen, while "Xue Qinghe" stood at the door, asking him questions.

"Mr. Dan Heng, I told you last time about the Spirit Hall. It doesn't seem to be in danger of collapsing as you said. On the contrary, it seems to be getting better, with even stronger cohesion and greater authority for the Pope."

"Soon, the Spirit Hall will likely be entirely controlled by the Pope."

"Xue Qinghe" said cautiously.

This was a fact, but it was a little embarrassing for Dan Heng.

She feared it might upset him.

Dan Heng stirred the meat dish, the white smoke rising and sizzling as the delicious aroma filled the air. He asked, "Have the major families of Spirit Hall made any response?"

"At first, they did, but then the Pope acted directly, imprisoning a small family. There was even a daughter from a major family in there. But they seemed to understand the Pope's determination and didn't dare say anything after that."

"Xue Qinghe" answered.

She was now leaning more toward Bibi Dong.

After all, the Spirit Hall had been created by the Angel Clan, and they had the right to dispose of the soul master families as they saw fit.

Dan Heng's prediction was a mistake, which was understandable.

After all, he didn't know about the authority of the Angel Clan and the Pope within Spirit Hall!

Dan Heng hummed and suddenly said, "Then it won't be long. The Spirit Hall is going to collapse."

"Eh???"

"Xue Qinghe" stared blankly at Dan Heng.

She had just said that the Spirit Hall was thriving, but Dan Heng was contradicting her?

"Xue Qinghe" hesitated, "Mr. Dan Heng, I... I didn't hear you correctly."

"The Spirit Hall is about to be overthrown," Dan Heng said faintly.

"!!!"

"Xue Qinghe" was stunned, her mind spinning, but she didn't say anything more.

She thought Dan Heng was just being alarmist. The Spirit Hall was so powerful now, and after helping the Heaven Dou Empire defeat the Star Luo Empire, it was flourishing.

How could it fall apart?

Was it because the Pope wanted to consolidate power? It couldn't be that

"Xue Qinghe" didn't argue with Dan Heng anymore, but he didn't mention it anymore, anyway, the facts will prove everything

-----------------

Bibi Dong had been remotely controlling all matters within the Spirit Hall, including the management of various soul master families.

The reports sent back made her quite pleased.

These proved how wise Yu Xiaogang's policies were.

Once everything was fully completed, she would become the most authoritative Pope in the history of Spirit Hall!

Bibi Dong smiled, "If the Xu family wants to reclaim their daughter, I'll give them face. I will make those families state their position, otherwise, in ten days, the entire small family will be executed!"

Salas bowed in respect, "Yes, Your Holiness..."

"Alright, you may leave. Let Hu Liena come in."

Bibi Dong ordered.

Salas left, and soon, Hu Liena entered the room.

When she saw the joy on Bibi Dong's face, she too felt relieved and cheerful. She stepped forward and hugged Bibi Dong.

"Teacher, you look so happy!"

Bibi Dong smiled lightly, "Even you noticed, hehe... Nanna, let's not talk about Spirit Hall matters. How are things with you? What's the progress?"

Hu Liena thought for a moment before answering, "That Yu Xiaogang guy is completely dependent on me now. If I push a little harder, I can turn him into my dog. But Dan Heng still refuses to pay attention to me. It's like he knows I have bad intentions. That man is the purest person I've ever met. I really feel like if I have any ill intentions in my heart, I can never approach him."

She sighed as she spoke, a hint of conflict in her eyes.

Not being able to win Dan Heng over felt like a blow to her pride.

But at the same time, it made her pay even more attention to him.

This was a treatment no other man had ever received from her.

The more she interacted with him, the more she found herself immersed in his constant rejections.

She didn't realize, however, that when she mentioned turning Yu Xiaogang into a dog, Bibi Dong's face suddenly turned ashen, losing all color.

She didn't know just how shocking her words were to Bibi Dong.

"Nana, you... you shouldn't exaggerate. What do you mean by dog...?"

Hu Liena giggled, "I'm not exaggerating, Teacher. Yu Xiaogang, that reserved middle-aged man, his rank is too low. He's probably still a virgin. Now, he keeps showing off in front of me, trying to catch my attention. When I ignore him, he gets anxious... That's when he'll truly belong to me. If I criticize and belittle him a little more, he'll really become my dog—he'll do whatever I tell him!"

"..." Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned, almost fainting from the shock!

Her first love, her white moonlight, her unreachable dream.

And in Hu Liena's words, he was... a dog?
