Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 235: It’s easy to please God, it’s hard to send God!

Chapter 235 - 235: It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God!

The Red-Bearded Fire Dragon was dozing beside the reception desk.

Qian Daoliu looked at it and felt even more ashamed.

Suddenly, he recalled the report sent by his subordinates. Among the descriptions was a thousand-year-old Red-Bearded Fire Dragon with a scar on its shoulder...

And now, this Red-Bearded Fire Dragon just happened to have a crescent-shaped scar on its shoulder!

Qian Daoliu blinked. Could it really be such a coincidence?

"No worries, thank you for your effort."

Dan Heng nodded slightly.

If it hadn't been for the Sea God Poseidon stepping in, he might have really had to rely on Qian Daoliu to obtain the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon.

He still owed him that favor.

Qian Daoliu, weighed down with thoughts, nodded silently and retreated into the shadows again.

He wasn't good with words and preferred to observe Dan Heng from the dark.

Poseidon glanced at him.

"!!!" Qian Daoliu was instantly startled.

He had deliberately concealed himself, yet the other party could still see him?

Just how strong was this Sea God Poseidon?

This realization left Qian Daoliu even more unsettled.

At the very least, the man must be on par with him in power.

And the fact that he couldn't sense Poseidon's aura at all only meant one thing—the man was either equal to him or... even stronger!

"He's very close to Mister Dan Heng, and even brought the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon with him... Could it be..."

A bold idea suddenly formed in Qian Daoliu's mind.

He looked at Dan Heng, and that idea felt more and more plausible!

But Poseidon didn't pay Qian Daoliu much attention. He chuckled and said, "So now you just hang around the library every day? Isn't that boring?"

Dan Heng shook his head, took out a few soul tools—one resembling a mirror—and began analyzing the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon's blood.

He was nearly becoming a biologist all for the sake of having a baby with Gu Yuena.

Too bad intelligence wasn't really his strong suit—otherwise, he would've already figured it out.

Poseidon watched for a while but quickly lost interest. He yawned and said:

"Back in the day, we used to roam all over the Douluo Continent. You didn't like staying in one place back then..."

"Now it's been so many years—how about we travel together again?"

Poseidon looked at Dan Heng expectantly.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly. "Not interested."

"..."

Poseidon curled his lip. "Got a wife and forgot your bro, huh..."

From the shadows, Qian Daoliu's eyes gleamed.

That single sentence told him all he needed—Mister Dan Heng was clearly not as young as he appeared!

"And that man... what exactly is his identity? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."

Qian Daoliu silently puzzled over it.

Just then—

Footsteps echoed.

At the doorway appeared Prince Xue Xing, accompanied by two of his guards.

All three were in plain clothing, completely lacking the fanfare from their last visit.

"Mister Dan Heng..."

Prince Xue Xing approached with a flattering smile.

Dan Heng frowned slightly, displeased.

He had clearly left this matter for Qian Renxue to handle. Why was this guy still pestering him like a sticky plaster?

Poseidon raised his brows and instantly understood that Dan Heng disliked Prince Xue Xing.

"Mister Dan Heng, I've come to tell you some good news..."

Prince Xue Xing lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

Dan Heng frowned. "I have no wish to be entangled with the royal family. Whatever the matter is, I ask Your Highness not to bother me."

He slapped him in the face with words—directly.

Though the prince hadn't revealed his intention yet, Dan Heng already sensed it and was annoyed.

Prince Xue Xing instantly rose to the top of his most disliked people list.

Hearing Dan Heng's blatant rejection, Prince Xue Xing's face stiffened.

He stared at Dan Heng deeply, his feigned warmth fading, replaced by the arrogance befitting a royal prince.

The two guards stepped to either side, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Poseidon clapped his hands and gave Prince Xue Xing a mocking look.

Although gods were not supposed to interfere with mortal affairs...

If someone provoked him first, then that was a different story!

From the shadows, Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes at the two guards.

If they made a single move, he would instantly strike and kill them both.

He might not be able to touch the prince, but his followers were fair game!

Prince Xue Xing was oblivious to the danger surrounding him.

In fact, he was still thinking about how to deal with Dan Heng!

Due to Qian Renxue's threats and bargaining, he technically shouldn't have come. He had even abandoned his original plan.

This visit was just a last-ditch effort.

Success or failure didn't matter much...

But Dan Heng's obvious disdain—well, that was a problem.

Prince Xue Xing said coldly, "Mister Dan Heng, do I really offend you so much? If you don't wish to associate with the royal family, then why are you entangled with my niece? Or is it simply that you look down on me?"

SMACK!!!

A hand suddenly landed on Prince Xue Xing's shoulder.

He nearly fell, but that hand held him firmly.

Poseidon smiled faintly and said, "Oh? A prince, huh? Such authority! You're just looking to recruit talent, right? He's not interested—how about me instead?"

The two guards were stunned—they hadn't even noticed Poseidon's movement.

Yet he had bypassed them and appeared beside Prince Xue Xing in an instant.

If Poseidon had wanted to harm the prince, he would've died just now!

Prince Xue Xing clearly realized this too—his face went stiff, and he swallowed hard.

"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or do you just look down on me?"

Poseidon frowned.

He patted the prince's shoulder again and pointed at the two guards. "I'm way better than those two sacks of rice—surely I'm not beneath your standards?"

The guards didn't dare speak. Given the man's strength—and the fact that he clearly didn't care about the prince's identity—this wasn't someone they could provoke.

"N-no... of course not. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Mister Dan Heng, could you... introduce your friend to us? We didn't get a chance to greet him earlier—how rude of us."

Prince Xue Xing strained to maintain a calm expression, but his slight trembling betrayed his deep anxiety.

Dan Heng glanced at Poseidon, smiled, but made no move to smooth things over.

Prince Xue Xing was annoying enough.

Having Poseidon deal with him was perfect!

"You can call me... Ye Ye. I'll cut you a deal." Poseidon said casually.

Ye Ye... (a play on "grandpa" in some dialects) — in certain contexts, this name indeed implied something cheeky or insulting.

Prince Xue Xing's face turned green. A dignified imperial prince being mocked like this?

But when he looked at Poseidon's imposing, no-nonsense face...

He didn't dare react angrily. He swallowed again. "Friend, I... I have other matters..."

"How about we leave together?"

Poseidon grinned.

"..." Prince Xue Xing gave Dan Heng a pleading look.

He was terrified!

Dan Heng didn't even look up, too busy with his work.

"Alright..."

Prince Xue Xing croaked hoarsely.

Poseidon threw an arm around his shoulders and walked him out.

The prince kept looking back with every step, pleading silently with Dan Heng—hoping he'd at least take this grim reaper off his hands.

But Dan Heng didn't care in the slightest—he was focused on his own business.

At last, Prince Xue Xing and his group departed.

Dan Heng, meanwhile, was still studying the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon's blood—and he soon made a key discovery.

The Red-Bearded Fire Dragon was born from the union of a Lava Dragon and a Whisker Dragon.

Their bloodlines had not fully merged, but they maintained a delicate balance. If separated—i.e., if they were just joined rather than fused—the blood would lose vitality.

So, Dan Heng needed to find two solutions:

First, how to make his and Gu Yuena's bloodlines merge in a similar way, so they could have a child.

Second, how to ensure that their child's bloodline could still be inherited.

If he couldn't solve the second problem, Dan Heng wouldn't agree to conceive so easily.

Although the Chi Ming clan (his people) generally lacked the ability to reproduce...

He didn't want his offspring to inherit that flaw. To him, it was unacceptable.

If he was going to be a parent, he wanted to give his children the best.

"Mister Dan Heng, may I ask... who is that gentleman?"

Qian Daoliu finally couldn't resist asking.

Dan Heng casually replied, "You can call him Bo Bo."

"Bo Bo...?"

Qian Daoliu was stunned. That name sounded far too casual—almost like a dog's name!

He certainly didn't dare call that man "Mister Bo Bo" to his face!

Suddenly, Dan Heng had a flash of inspiration. He looked at Qian Daoliu and asked, "Mister Qian, could I trouble you to use your soul power to purify this vial of blood?"

"Ah? Of course! I..."

Qian Daoliu agreed immediately and took the glass container from Dan Heng's hands.

He held out both hands, emitting a golden holy light that surrounded the vial.

Soon, the blood inside the container was infused with holy light.

Dan Heng stared at the blood in the container, able to see even more microscopic details.

Very quickly, he saw that the two different bloodlines within the blood were being purified under the golden light and showed signs of merging.

Before long, the two bloodlines completely fused.

The blood's color changed from dark red to fiery red.

Dan Heng nodded and said, "That's good, thank you, Mr. Qian."

Qian Daoliu returned the glass container to Dan Heng. "No, no, this was just a small favor—really nothing at all. Please don't be so formal, Mr. Dan Heng!"

Even though he didn't quite understand what he had helped with—making it seem like a bit of a downgrade for someone of his status—Qian Daoliu didn't mind one bit.

In fact, he was hoping for more opportunities like this!

Dan Heng then re-injected the now-purified blood back into the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon.

The Fire Dragon immediately stood up and gave a loud snort.

It looked at Dan Heng adorably and cluelessly, not understanding what was going on.

Now, with Dan Heng controlling the purified blood, it would gradually assimilate the dragon's original blood. Though only temporary, if it succeeded, it could lead to a breakthrough!

"Bwooo!"

The Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon gently bumped Dan Heng with its nose, showing affection, then leisurely started walking away.

Dan Heng didn't stop it. The blood replacement was a natural process.

He gave Qian Daoliu a nod of acknowledgment and followed the Fire Dragon as it left.

...

A man and a beast strolled through the academy, soon attracting a lot of attention.

After all, in the Douluo Continent, soul beasts were virtually impossible to tame!

So the sight of a soul beast wandering freely in Blue Tyrant Academy naturally caused a stir.

This was contrary to Dan Heng's original intent.

But for the sake of something as important as having a child with Gu Yuena, everything else could wait!

"Wow! So cute!"

A surprised voice rang out.

Huo Wu pushed through the crowd and came up next to Dan Heng.

She looked at the Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon with great excitement and asked, "Mr. Dan Heng, this... this is a soul beast, right?"

Dan Heng gave a slight nod. "Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon."

"It... it's so calm? But it doesn't look weak to me, and it's clearly not a baby."

Huo Wu blinked her big eyes, filled with curiosity.

Dan Heng lightly shook his head, not offering any explanation.

More and more people gathered, but no one dared to disturb them directly.

The Crimson-Bearded Fire Dragon was unfazed, as if it had a destination in mind, heading toward a wooded area.

Dan Heng looked up—inside that grove was where Liu Erlong had previously lived.

"Mr. Dan Heng, it's so cute. Can I pet it?"

Huo Wu asked cheerfully.

Dan Heng nodded. "Mm."

Huo Wu stepped forward and petted it a couple of times. Seeing the Fire Dragon didn't mind, she turned to Dan Heng again.

"Mr. Dan Heng, can I kiss it?"

"Mm."

"Mr. Dan Heng, can I ride it?"

"Mm."

"Mr. Dan Heng, can I take you as my master?"

"..."

Dan Heng fell silent. What a clever girl—he almost got tricked!

Huo Wu stuck out her tongue when she got caught.

Still fearless, she climbed onto the Fire Dragon, rested her chin on her hands, and pleaded softly with Dan Heng.

Dan Heng remained unmoved and followed behind the dragon.

More and more people gathered, all following them into the woods.

...

Inside the forest.

In a wooden cabin.

Liu Erlong was talking with a group of people.

They were soul masters from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, drawn here because Liu Erlong had been noticed by a god. That had rekindled some ambitions.

Although the clan's power had been greatly diminished, with divine backing now, they saw an opportunity.

If they still chose to remain silent, it would be an utter disgrace!

"Erlong! We should go after the Spirit Hall! The world has suffered under them long enough! Especially us top three sects—how much have we been suppressed? Don't you want revenge?"

"We didn't have the power before, so we endured. But now we have a god behind us! Even if we fail, the Spirit Hall won't dare wipe us out! At worst, we'd bow our heads and apologize—they won't go as far as annihilating us!"

"We've been holding this grudge for a long time! Erlong, you're the most promising person in the family now..."

Even Yu Yuanzhen and other high-ranking members of the clan were gathered around Liu Erlong, trying to persuade her with earnest sincerity.

Liu Erlong wore a gloomy expression, visibly furious.

"That god hasn't even contacted me again! He even altered the nature of my martial soul and then just vanished!"

"And you still expect anything from that bastard?"

She nearly laughed from anger.

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen and the others all turned pale.

They were terrified that Liu Erlong was disrespecting a god who had previously shown divine signs.

"Don't! Erlong! You can't say things like that!"

"That's sacrilegious!"

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes and scoffed, "You really think he can hear me from here? The chance of a god hearing me is probably lower than the chance I get attacked by a soul beast right now!"
