Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 185: The Female Pope May Become the Biggest Joke in Douluo

Crown Prince's Mansion.

In "Xue Qinghe's" room, she had yet to go to bed.

At that moment, two figures in golden armor appeared in her room. They were imposing and exuded the aura of powerful experts.

They were none other than the Snake Lance Douluo and the Porcupinefish Douluo from the Spirit Hall.

Both of them had come to follow "Xue Qinghe."

As Title Douluo, they each naturally had families backing them.

Now that Bibi Dong was tightening her grip in such a manner, their families were essentially forced to survive under her heel. If she told them to die, they'd have no choice but to obey!

"Your Highness, the Grand Worshiper does not interfere in secular affairs. Now, the Spirit Hall is almost entirely under the Pope's control. All the major noble families have tucked their tails between their legs..."

"If we let her continue unchecked, the Spirit Hall will soon become her personal dictatorship!"

The two Title Douluo were trying hard to persuade "Xue Qinghe."

"Xue Qinghe" sat silently, supporting her head with a hand, her eyes flickering with conflicted emotion.

"What can I possibly do about this?"

"I don't even have a public identity. Even if I came forward, who would listen to me?"

She sighed, a trace of bitterness in her voice.

The two Title Douluo fell silent.

All three of them sat in helpless silence, utterly powerless in the face of the current situation in Spirit Hall.

"Is the Spirit Hall truly about to fall entirely under the Pope's control?"

The Porcupinefish Douluo nodded. "The head of the Dawson Clan has been imprisoned by the Pope. I met some of their people when they came to plead for his release. We chatted briefly."

The Snake Lance Douluo added, "Other families' people have also been sending me letters to complain. If things continue like this, they'll all be forced to bow to Bibi Dong."

"..."

Hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" slowly shook her head. By the time she managed to reclaim her identity, the Spirit Hall might no longer be connected to the Angel Clan at all.

"If that's the case, then perhaps even Mister Dan Heng isn't omniscient after all. He is human, after all—mistakes are inevitable."

She sighed.

The Snake Lance Douluo said gloomily, "Honestly, it's all that Dan Heng's fault. He swore up and down that the Pope would never succeed. And now? She's about to execute the Dawson Clan's patriarch, and not a single family is making a sound!"

"To me, he might not be a fame-seeking fraud—he's clearly knowledgeable—but he just doesn't understand the inner workings of the Spirit Hall."

The Porcupinefish Douluo sneered and added, "I know that scholarly type all too well! Those people..."

Suddenly, a rapid knock came from outside.

The two Title Douluo instantly melted into the shadows.

"Xue Qinghe" stepped forward and asked, "What is it?"

"Your Highness, urgent news from outside—Spirit Hall... it was attacked by a group of spirit masters, and they set a massive fire..."

"What?!"

"Xue Qinghe" was horrified.

The Spirit Hall had stood proudly on the Douluo Continent for thousands of years—who would dare attack the main temple?

Even when the Star Luo Empire invaded the Heaven Dou Empire, they never dared lay a finger on the Spirit Hall!

Before dawn.

The fire in the Spirit Hall was extinguished quickly.

Many people died—some were the attackers, and some were spirit masters of the Hall.

The building itself was charred black. What had once been a resplendent and majestic structure was now reduced to a wrecked, battle-scarred ruin.

Inside the hall where Bibi Dong resided, not much had changed aside from the lingering heat and faint scent of smoke.

Bibi Dong stood at the top of the stairs, her gaze cold as she stared down at Salas and the others.

"Who did this?"

Her voice held no emotion.

Someone had dared to attack and set fire to the Spirit Hall while she was personally overseeing it—this was a blatant insult to her authority!

If she didn't kill every last one of the culprits, then she might as well stop calling herself Bibi Dong!

A powerful wave of pressure radiated from her.

Salas, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and other powerful figures didn't dare move an inch.

"Speak! Are you all mute now?!" Bibi Dong snapped.

Salas gritted his teeth and said, "Your Holiness... it was the Dawson Clan's spirit masters, along with those from other families whose patriarchs had previously been executed..."

Bibi Dong's face turned even colder as she frowned.

"Weren't those spirit masters executed by me? Why were they there?"

She had a terrible premonition.

Salas continued, "We captured a few of them alive and interrogated them. They revealed something..."

He paused, fear creeping onto his face.

"What is it?"

Bibi Dong's tone was icy.

"They claim... all the spirit master clans... have defected from Spirit Hall. Tonight, they all declared independence and... and they burned down Spirit Hall branches across the continent..."

Salas's voice trembled.

It was too insane!

While most members of Spirit Hall came from commoner backgrounds, the powerful ones who succeeded often formed their own spirit master families and became the backbone of the Hall.

Thus, spirit master clans made up at least half of Spirit Hall's strength.

If all of them defected, Spirit Hall wouldn't just be severely weakened—it'd be crippled entirely!

That was why Salas had hesitated to report it directly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both bowed their heads in silence.

At this moment, they only wished to disappear entirely.

"!!!"

Bibi Dong was stunned. For a moment, she doubted her own ears.

The spirit master clans... had dared to betray her?

They'd even dared to burn down the Spirit Halls?

If this was true, then as the only non-lineage female Pope in history, she would become the biggest laughingstock in the Douluo Continent!

She would be utterly humiliated!

No! It couldn't be true!

Bibi Dong clenched her teeth and suddenly waved her hand, firing a purple energy blast.

"Boom...!!!"

Salas was instantly flung into a pillar, coughing blood and falling unconscious.

"Bastard! How dare you spread panic! Execute them! Kill them all! I want them to die in agony!"

Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot as she roared.

"Understood!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately responded and scrambled to exit the hall.

Bibi Dong trembled all over, pacing back and forth on the upper platform.

Her complexion grew pale.

"It's fake... all of it's fake..."

She muttered it over and over, but deep down, she was filled with uncertainty.

Had she... placed her trust in Yu Xiaogang wrongly?

She had offered "Xue Qinghe" so many brilliant strategies—why did things fall apart only when it came to her?

And this failure... it could doom her for all eternity!

"If it's true... those old bastards will never let me remain Pope. They'll depose me, they'll..."

Bibi Dong grabbed at her hair, her eyes growing redder and redder. She let out a furious scream.

"AAAHHHHHHH!!!"

"Damn it all! Why does everyone go against me?! You all deserve to die! DIE! DIE!!!"

She went into a complete frenzy inside the Spirit Hall.

Spirit power erupted from her in waves, stirring a terrifying storm.

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

Early the next morning.

Just as Dan Heng and his wife were about to enter the gates of Blue Tyrant Academy...

Yu Xiaogang suddenly rushed over with Hu Liena, blocking their path.

"..."

Dan Heng looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion.

This guy again—what was he trying to pull this time?

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, glaring at Dan Heng as he said, "Dan Heng! Are you feeling proud of yourself? For driving me and Na Na away? Showing off your little tricks?"

Dan Heng's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't even interacted with these two—what the hell were they talking about?

Hu Liena looked embarrassed. After being driven away by Liu Erlong the night before, she originally planned to return to the Spirit Hall, but Yu Xiaogang dragged her to a nearby hotel instead.

And now, he had brought her in front of Dan Heng to question him.

This brought her no joy—only a sense of shame so intense she didn't even dare lift her head.

Especially in front of Gu Yuena.

Even her own beauty seemed to have lost its shine.

"I'll tell you, Dan Heng. Maybe you can deceive others, but you can't fool me. Your so-called talent—it's nothing but parlor tricks."

Yu Xiaogang continued, "I offer counsel to the Spirit Hall's Pope. I'll be making some proposals... though I doubt you'll want to hear what they are."

"But remember this—you're not better than me! All you can do is run some filthy money-grabbing businesses, while I can talk as an equal with great figures."

"You are beneath me!!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Dan Heng with a smug expression.

Dan Heng finally understood—this guy just wanted to say he was better than him?

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

How utterly ridiculous.

Without a word, he took Gu Yuena's hand and stepped around Yu Xiaogang to enter Blue Tyrant Academy.

He didn't want to waste even a second more on him.

Gu Yuena, however, turned her gaze on Yu Xiaogang and asked, "You're giving advice to the Spirit Hall's Pope? About taking control of those soul master families?"

This was something "Xue Qinghe" had once visited their residence to inquire about.

Yu Xiaogang was briefly stunned, glancing at Gu Yuena in surprise.

Then he straightened up and said coolly, "That's right. It was my idea. The Pope has probably already made some progress..."

"Yes, so much progress that Spirit Hall has been set on fire. It's probably falling into complete chaos now—all thanks to you."

Gu Yuena sneered.

"!!!" Yu Xiaogang was stunned, his eyes wide.

Hu Liena grew anxious. She rushed forward, only to be gently repelled by a warm energy. "You... Are you telling the truth?"

"Go and see for yourself. And little fox—if I find out you're pestering my husband again..."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.

Hu Liena trembled immediately, a strong sense of dread rising in her chest.

She didn't dare linger—she turned and fled.

"Na Na... Where are you going? Wait for me!" Yu Xiaogang chased after her, but Hu Liena only pulled further and further ahead.

Watching the two disappear, Dan Heng shook his head.

So absurd—he hadn't even done anything to offend Yu Xiaogang.

Gu Yuena rested a hand on Dan Heng's chest, smiling sweetly.

"Only nobodies go unnoticed. My love, your brilliance is so dazzling, it makes some people jealous. So of course, they resort to such pointless things."

Dan Heng hummed in agreement, and together, they stepped into the academy.

Inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Flender discovered that Yu Xiaogang had left, only leaving behind a letter.

He rushed to find Liu Erlong in a panic.

He placed the letter on Liu Erlong's desk.

"Erlong, how could you drive Xiaogang away? He said he's going to find another place to live."

Flender said anxiously.

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes and replied, "Flender, don't talk nonsense. I didn't drive him away. If anything, he probably couldn't wait to have a legitimate excuse to shack up with that little vixen!"

"What?" Flender was stunned.

Liu Erlong then explained everything that had happened.

Flender was left gaping—he hadn't expected things to be so complicated.

Liu Erlong said bluntly, "Whatever the case, I'll never let Mr. Dan Heng leave. If Yu Xiaogang couldn't defend that little fox, then left—it's not like I drove him out. He's free to come back anytime."

"But that little fox isn't welcome. She really thought she could fool everyone? Harassing Mr. Dan Heng—did she think I wouldn't notice? Only that fool Yu Xiaogang thinks she genuinely likes him!"

Flender frowned. When he thought of Hu Liena, he felt Liu Erlong might be being too harsh.

"Erlong, you may not know this—Xiaogang is giving advice to the Spirit Hall's Pope..."

"If Xiaogang ends up in conflict with Dan Heng and brings Spirit Hall into it, that'd be a disaster, wouldn't it? It's not worth it for just a library manager..."

Flender tried to reason.

Liu Erlong sneered. "If he dares do that, I'll bring the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into it! He can't even think about troubling Mr. Dan Heng!"

Flender looked worried and shook his head. "Erlong, you don't understand the Spirit Hall's power. Even the Upper Three Clans can't compete with them..."

"Enough talk! I don't care who Yu Xiaogang brings—he won't shake me! This is my Blue Tyrant Academy. No outsider has a say here!"

Liu Erlong said irritably.

Flender realized she was indirectly warning him too.

He gave a sheepish smile and didn't say more.

But in his heart, he felt Liu Erlong was too deeply enchanted by Dan Heng.

Yu Xiaogang was infatuated with Hu Liena.

And wasn't Liu Erlong equally spellbound by Dan Heng?

With no luck persuading Liu Erlong, Flender gathered all the Shrek students and teachers.

All together, they were just a dozen or so people.

Flender brought up Yu Xiaogang's departure. "Xiaogang and I previously agreed—he would make requests to the Spirit Hall so they'd support us in rebuilding Shrek Academy."

"But now that Xiaogang has been forced to leave Blue Tyrant Academy, should we go with him or stay here?"

He looked around, awaiting their opinions.

Zhao Wuji scoffed. "Boss Flender, aside from you and Tang San, who else believes Yu Xiaogang actually advised the Spirit Hall's Pope? We're doing just fine here—why leave?"

Tang San immediately said, "I'll follow Teacher no matter what!"

Xiao Wu snorted coldly. "Then go! Just seeing that scumbag irritates me!"

"It's all the same to me. Soon, I'll use my family connections to invest heavily in Shrek Academy! Or we could just go to the Star Luo Empire!"

Dai Mubai said proudly.

As everyone argued, Flender said, "I've decided—we'll follow the Master. He's one of us!"

"And I believe the Spirit Hall will give him a satisfactory reward!"

Flender's eyes gleamed, as if he could already see the day Shrek Academy rose to greatness.
