Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 157: Yu Xiaogang’s Offense

"There's no need to do everything yourself! At times like this, it's even more important to stay calm. Think carefully—how can you maximize your strength, rather than running around like a headless chicken!"

Yu Xiaogang stood with his back to Liu Erlong, hands behind him.

Now that Liu Erlong was frequently ignoring him, he had to assert his presence.

The Shrek group looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion.

Seriously? Acting all high and mighty while asking for help on someone else's turf?

Has the "Master" lost his mind?

Flender sighed silently, thinking: It's over. Erlong always falls for this kind of act. She's definitely going to get hopelessly obsessed with Yu Xiaogang again.

Liu Erlong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, a ripple of emotion flashing through her eyes.

Even if the heart-shaped stone had been fake, all those years of memories weren't. How could she be completely unmoved?

Her thoughts wavered for a moment, but she quickly pulled herself together and suppressed the emotions.

She had to make her stance clear—otherwise, Yu Xiaogang might not realize the problem.

"Thanks for the reminder," Liu Erlong said flatly.

"???"

Yu Xiaogang fell silent, a bit dumbfounded.

According to his calculations, Liu Erlong should've already flung herself into his arms, overwhelmed with emotion and declaring how much she missed him.

Why was her reaction so... lukewarm? Could something unexpected have happened?

Flender blinked and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. He said:

"Xiaogang is right, Erlong, no need to rush—just have your people handle it. By the way, we've come this time to join you."

"You've finally come around, Flender!" Liu Erlong said excitedly.

She sat down on the sofa next to Flender, ignoring Yu Xiaogang, who was still standing.

Everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang's back and thought the same thing: This so-called "Master" really knows how to act cool... too bad no one cares.

Flender sighed again. "After receiving your letter, I realized it—Shrek Academy simply doesn't have the resources and would only hold back our little monsters."

"So this time, we hope you'll take us in."

Flender was actually plotting how to turn Blue Tyrant Academy into Shrek Academy—only that would allow him to fulfill his ambitions.

And if he could marry Liu Erlong? Even better: power and love, all in one package.

Liu Erlong, unaware of Flender's daydreams, smiled and said, "Of course! Flender, you can be the honorary dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. These students of yours—why not make them the second team of our Blue Tyrant Battle Team? Or we can still use the Shrek name."

Flender chuckled awkwardly. "Let's just keep it under the Shrek banner."

Liu Erlong nodded. "Fair enough. Honestly, if not for our Teacher Gu reigniting my passion, I might've already handed the academy over to you."

"Teacher Gu?" Flender blinked, feeling deeply annoyed.

If she said that, then it meant she really had been considering giving the academy to him.

Until this Teacher Gu showed up and messed everything up!

"Yes, she's the instructor for our Blue Tyrant Battle Team. Teacher Gu is a theoretical master even stronger than you guys. I'm sure she'll train an elite team!" Liu Erlong said proudly.

Hearing this, both Flender and Yu Xiaogang became visibly uncomfortable, looking toward Liu Erlong.

Yu Xiaogang, having failed at his earlier act, finally sat down. Though his face looked unpleasant, he made no effort to hide it.

After all, he never relied on looks to win the affection of women—he relied on his "talent."

"Teacher Gu? I've never heard of any prominent theorist with the surname Gu," Yu Xiaogang said coolly.

Flender frowned. "Erlong, maybe you haven't seen what our Shrek students are capable of."

Ignoring them, Liu Erlong suddenly clapped her hands.

"How could I just think of this?! Maybe Teacher Gu can help you all. Wait here!"

With that, she rushed out of the room.

"..."

Flender and Yu Xiaogang exchanged looks, both filled with curiosity—and hostility—toward this Teacher Gu.

"Little monsters, when that Teacher Gu shows up, make sure to show off your abilities. Let her see what the Shrek Academy is made of!" Flender said angrily.

Dai Mubai grinned. "Perfect timing! I'm already fired up and need to let off some steam!"

Ma Hongjun chimed in: "I'll roast her like a chicken!"

Everyone voiced their agreement.

Before long, Liu Erlong returned—with Gu Yue Na.

The moment they saw her, the Shrek group was stunned.

Those who didn't recognize Gu Yue Na were shocked by her ethereal beauty. Who would've thought their mysterious "Teacher Gu" would be such a stunning woman?

Those who did recognize her had more complicated feelings.

Zhao Wuji shrank back, fear flashing in his eyes. "T-this..."

He remembered well the terrifying encounter outside the Star Dou Forest.

Because of her threat, he'd never dared to tell the truth about what happened.

And now, here she was again—this terrifying woman!

Dai Mubai quickly stood up. "Sister... where's Zi Ji? I've been looking for her but can't find her..."

Flender and Yu Xiaogang looked at him in confusion.

Yu Xiaogang didn't know who Zi Ji was, but Gu Yue Na had already made a deep impression on him.

After all, he only ever pursued otherworldly beauties.

Now seeing Gu Yue Na—an instructor in theory—he couldn't resist feeling the urge to impress.

Gu Yue Na sneered slightly, clearly unimpressed.

"Principal Liu, these are the ones you want me to save?" she asked.

Liu Erlong nodded repeatedly, dragging Flender up from the sofa and glaring at the group.

How dare they still get starstruck by another woman after being around her all the time? She was more than a little annoyed.

"They've all been poisoned. And the toxin is fused with their soul power," Liu Erlong explained.

Gu Yue Na walked over to Xiao Wu and gently tapped her head.

Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect to see you here. We were wounded by Poison Douluo."

"Xiao Wu!" Flender tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Liu Erlong's face darkened. "That old bastard! How dare he?!"

Flender quickly tried to calm her. "It's nothing, Erlong, please don't act rashly..."

Seeing Gu Yue Na, Yu Xiaogang's entire demeanor changed.

He glanced at Liu Erlong and shook his head. "Useless anger will only push us toward destruction. Poison Douluo isn't someone we can afford to offend. The fact we're still alive is something we should be grateful for."

"What do you mean by that, Yu Xiaogang?!" Liu Erlong demanded, furious.

"I mean we should recognize reality," Yu Xiaogang replied calmly.

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Gu Yue Na, hoping she would admire his wisdom.

Gu Yue Na simply patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, and a green mist emerged behind her—Xiao Wu's poison had been extracted.

It was a simple matter for Gu Yue Na.

One by one, she extracted the poison from the others as well.

Yu Xiaogang was last, and he couldn't sit still—eager to show off his knowledge.

"I heard you're the instructor for the Blue Tyrant Battle Team. How are they performing these days?"

"I happen to have some insights into soul power theory. Maybe we can exchange ideas?"

"After all, communication breeds progress. If you don't mind, I'd like our Shrek team to spar with your Blue Tyrant team."

Yu Xiaogang smiled as he spoke.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Gu Yue Na gave him a glance—like watching a peacock strut around flashing its feathers for attention.

"Not interested," she said coldly.

Liu Erlong glared at Yu Xiaogang. She hadn't expected him to pull this kind of stunt.

Throwing yourself at Gu Yue Na and trying to show off? Seriously?

"Yu Xiaogang! Teacher Gu is married! Her husband is Mr. Dan Heng from the library. They are very much in love. If you want to exchange ideas, go talk to her husband. No need for you to insert yourself!" Liu Erlong snapped.

Yu Xiaogang's face froze. Such a young woman was already married? What a waste.

And being publicly mocked by Liu Erlong? He was furious.

"Library? So, he's a librarian?" Yu Xiaogang caught on immediately.

Liu Erlong nodded. "That's his job, but Mr. Dan Heng—"

Yu Xiaogang laughed lightly. "If he's a librarian, then I doubt we'd have much in common. Soul theory isn't exactly basic knowledge, right, Teacher Gu?"

He looked smugly at Gu Yue Na, convinced she would agree with him and feel "too extraordinary" to be married to a librarian.

Liu Erlong's face turned dark. "You bastard..."

Gu Yue Na had just finished detoxifying the others and was about to help Zhao Wuji.

Then she heard Yu Xiaogang's words—and walked over to him instead.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, thinking she'd come to agree with him.

He continued, "I think you can understand where I—AAAGGHHH!!!"

Without even touching him, Gu Yue Na waved her hand over him, and a faint green light began to emit from his body—then suddenly flared up.

The poison had been reactivated and intensified!

Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground in pain. "Ahhhh it hurts, it hurts!!"

"Xiaogang" Flender rushed over to help him.

Gu Yue Na gave a cold smile and said to Liu Erlong, "That's all."

Then she walked out without looking back.

Liu Erlong sighed, expressed a few words of gratitude, and saw her off.

Zhao Wuji clenched his fists, watching Gu Yue Na's departing figure.

"Master, that was really out of line. There's a saying—'Don't hit people in the face.' You couldn't keep your feelings to yourself? Now look, we've all been dragged into your mess."

He complained openly.

Flender transferred soul power into Yu Xiaogang, then turned to Liu Erlong with a serious expression. "The poison has worsened. It's now merged into his soul power."

Liu Erlong spat on the ground. "Serves him right! I went to great lengths to invite Teacher Gu here, and he still tried to flirt with her like a fool. What kind of woman do you think she is?!"

"Her husband, Mr. Dan Heng, may not be any less knowledgeable than him!"

She was getting angrier as she spoke. Originally, she just wanted to make a point—but now, she found herself even more disappointed in Yu Xiaogang.

The others also looked upset.

It was because of Yu Xiaogang that they couldn't receive Gu Yue Na's full healing.

Yu Xiaogang groaned in pain for a while before finally stabilizing.

"I... Little San, think of something. This poison is unbearable..." Yu Xiaogang said in agony.

Tang San helped him up and nodded seriously. "I will, teacher!"

Gritting his teeth, Yu Xiaogang growled:

"Make sure you beat the Blue Tyrant Battle Team in our upcoming match. Let them see Shrek's true strength!"

If Gu Yue Na wouldn't give him face—then he'd shock her with results instead.

Tang San and the others all nodded, though they were sure this was just his way of saving face.

After work.

Gu Yue Na and Dan Heng left the library together.

They hadn't walked far before being stopped by Huo Wu.

Seeing her, Dan Heng tensed up—this troublemaker again?

Gu Yue Na chuckled softly, amused by how her husband was nervous around this girl.

Huo Wu stepped forward, bowed to Gu Yue Na with hands clasped together, and pleaded earnestly:

"Teacher Gu, please tell me—who is Zhu Zhuqing's teacher? I know it's not you..."

"I really want to learn from whoever taught her..."

She looked completely pitiful—nothing like her usual radiant, confident self.

Gu Yue Na looked at Dan Heng, silently asking if she should reveal the truth.

Dan Heng subtly shook his head—he didn't want more people clinging to him.

"Zhu Zhuqing's teacher is me. What else do you want to know? If you join Blue Tyrant Academy, I'll teach you too," Gu Yue Na said calmly.

"No, that's not it... I know you're an excellent teacher, but you're not the one who truly trained her. Please, just tell me..." Huo Wu was nearly ready to kneel.

She had to know—it was becoming an obsession.

Gu Yue Na laughed softly and hinted, "Maybe you've already met that person."

"Enough. Don't block our way. With hard work, you'll make great progress too."

She wrapped her arm around Dan Heng and walked past her.

Huo Wu scratched her head—she had met that person?

Gu Yue Na wouldn't lie—so who had she seen but overlooked?

Heaven Dou Palace.

Prince Xue Xing met Emperor Xue Ye and sighed, "Your Majesty, I fear Dugu Bo... won't last more than a couple days. I want to request an honorable send-off for him."

Emperor Xue Ye let out a heavy sigh and paused before replying, "Of course. He is a Protector of our Heaven Dou Empire..."
