After Zhu Zhu finished washing the dishes, she started running laps around the yard.
Dan Heng, freed from housework, suddenly thought it wasn't so bad to have such a disciple.
He brought out a reclining chair and sat down to read.
Gu Yuena followed suit, placing a reclining chair beside her and picking up a book.
Having received the wisdom of the Dragon God, she was equally outstanding in her studies.
"Husband, you made Zhu Qing run to see her willpower and physical limits, right? And her control over soul power, right?" Gu Yuena stretched out her small foot from under the white blanket, poking Dan Heng's thigh with her toe.
Dan Heng hummed in agreement, glancing at Gu Yuena with surprise.
He had guessed that Gu Yuena's identity was not simple, but he hadn't investigated further.
Now he realized that Gu Yuena wasn't as naive and innocent as he had thought, only capable of doing silly things.
Gu Yuena pouted, displeased, "Husband, what kind of look is that?"
Dan Heng shook his head, not replying, pondering how to teach Zhu Zhuqing.
Since she was his nominal disciple, his teaching couldn't be sloppy. Reaching the Soul Emperor level would be considered graduation, so he needed to achieve that goal as soon as possible.
Three years—wouldn't that be too long?
Seeing Dan Heng's silence, Gu Yuena became displeased and poked his waist with her toe.
Dan Heng instinctively grabbed her foot, which was soft and slightly cool, clad in a woolen sock.
Gu Yuena snorted, a blush rising on her pretty face, feigning annoyance, "You, you let go..."
Her voice was soft, her eyes darting away. Actually, the warmth emanating from Dan Heng's hand made her feel comfortable; she was just being coy, a young woman's shyness making her say it insincerely.
She was still severely injured, her body much colder than an ordinary woman's.
And Dan Heng, as a powerful man, with a body like a furnace, naturally held a strong attraction for her.
Dan Heng loosened his bound feet and began turning the pages.
This book was written by a Soul Saint specializing in agility-based attacks. While the author's soul power wasn't particularly strong, he possessed many unique insights. Since Dan Heng intended to cultivate Zhu Zhuqing, it certainly wasn't just about soul power.
"You really let go?" Gu Yuena muttered, her small feet, clad in fluffy socks, retreating back onto the blanket.
Dan Heng remained calm, seemingly unaffected by anything around him. He didn't read very quickly, but rather with his own thoughts, refining his understanding.
Gu Yuena pouted. A stunningly beautiful woman was right beside her, yet
she was less captivating than a book? A competitive spirit stirred within her.
Even if he read for a long time, it wouldn't compare to asking her for guidance.
If she could surpass Dan Heng through teaching, wouldn't he be begging her for instruction?
Thinking this, Gu Yuena chuckled, quickly suppressing her laughter.
But her motivation to read had increased considerably.
The sun was about to set, its orange glow like a blanket being pulled away, gradually revealing the dark ground.
Zhu Zhuqing had run countless laps; she could only run bent over, as if carrying a mountain on her back, drenched in sweat, each step leaving a puddle on the ground.
Her face was pale, even her lips.
She was nearing her physical limit.
Her strength and spiritual power were about to disappear.
Suddenly, laughter rang out again in the distance.
"That's the beauty! Bu Le, you have sharp eyes!"
"If I could have some fun with her, I'd be satisfied even if I died tonight!"
"Let's go over there, let her fall into our arms!"
Three lewd-looking men approached.
They all stared at Zhu Zhuqing with lustful eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing, her consciousness nearing its limit, was completely unaware of the approaching danger.
One of the men, who had buck teeth, ran excitedly toward Zhu Zhuqing, "Little beauty! Don't fall! It will break my heart to see you like this… Ouch!"
"Whoosh…!"
A small black shadow flashed by and landed on his knee.
The man immediately knelt on the ground, his face pressed against the earth, making a dull thud.
"Not happy?!"
The remaining two lewd men were startled, then burst into laughter.
They chased after Zhu Zhuqing again.
"Whoosh...whoosh...!"
After only a few steps, the two men also knelt on the ground, their buttocks sticking up.
Their legs were numb and they could barely move.
After running a dozen meters, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Gu Yuena stepped forward to help Zhu Zhuqing up, looking at her pale face, shaking her head and saying, "This silly child, she really doesn't give any discounts! Husband, why didn't you stop? It'll hurt your health!"
Gu Yuena looked at Dan Heng with a hint of reproach.
Dan Heng ignored her and walked towards the lewd trio.
Gu Yuena snorted and said, "Husband! Why don't we each teach one stage and see who progresses faster!"
Dan Heng ignored her and said to the three lewd men, "Come back at this time tomorrow."
Dan Heng's voice was calm as he turned and left.
The three lewd men felt as if a heavy hammer had struck their hearts.
Fear enveloped them.
It was as if they would lose their lives if they resisted.
A master... definitely a strong one!
Bu Le swallowed hard, exchanged a glance with the other two, and then kowtowed to Dan Heng and the other two as they entered the room.
"My lord, spare us!!!"
"We will do as you say!!!"
...
Back in the room, Gu Yuena chased Dan Heng out of the bedroom to give Zhu Zhuqing a bath. Zhu Zhuqing was covered in sweat; even dried sweat from a beauty smelled bad and wasn't comfortable to sleep in.
Dan Heng waited in the guest room, writing down the training plan for tomorrow.
To be honest, he was very satisfied with a student like Zhu Zhuqing.
The meticulous execution of the plan was remarkably worry-free.
Soon, the room was filled with the sound of rushing water and Gu Yuena's exclamation.
"How can it be so big?"
"..." Dan Heng shook his head and continued writing.
...
In the bedroom, Zhu Zhuqing woke up in the large bathtub, amidst the steam. She covered her chest, which was barely concealed, and looked warily at Gu Yuena. "Master's wife, you..."
When she woke up, she found Gu Yuena measuring her chest.
This startled her.
Luckily, her teacher wasn't here, otherwise she would have wanted to crawl into an ant hole.
Gu Yuena smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat guilty.
She was just curious how Zhu Zhuqing could develop so ridiculously large a size? That was all
she had subconsciously tried it out! Gu Yuena cleared her throat twice, changing the subject, and said, "Don't be nervous, your teacher and I are both very satisfied with you. Zhuqing, for the rest of your training, your teacher and I will take turns teaching you, and you can judge whose method is better!" "This... thank you, Master's Wife." Gu Yuena couldn't help but glance at the large fruit under Zhu Zhuqing's arm. "Master's Wife, I... I can wash it myself..." (End of Chapter)
