Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 169 – Bibi Dong Still Won’t Believe It!

During the lunch break, Shui Yue'er and Huo Wu left. Although they had no romantic intentions toward Dan Heng, they both instinctively avoided meeting Gu Yue Na.

Gu Yue Na's charm was simply too aggressive—from a woman's perspective.

Standing in front of her, they couldn't help but feel inferior by comparison.

The two girls returned to the Tianshui Team's room.

Xue Wu teased upon seeing Shui Yue'er:"Little Yue'er, even though we were so in sync we developed a secret technique in just half an hour, you're already relapsing the very next day? Isn't that too fast?"

Shui Yue'er huffed and linked arms with Huo Wu."Don't look down on me! I'm not doing this for myself—it's to help Sister Huo Wu! Right, Sister Huo Wu?"

She winked at Huo Wu as she spoke.

"..." Huo Wu's mouth twitched slightly. So this was why Shui Yue'er had dragged her over—just to vouch for her?

She could only nod slightly,"I want to become a disciple of Mr. Dan Heng, so I asked Shui Yue'er for help."

"!!!"

All the girls were stunned, staring at Huo Wu in disbelief.

Xue Wu gasped,"That Mr. Dan Heng—isn't he just a library manager? Just an ordinary person who couldn't even beat you, yet you want to become his disciple?"

"Could it be that you've fallen for him, Huo Wu?"

"Does Mr. Dan Heng have some special skill? But judging by his nonchalant attitude, he doesn't seem like someone with any secret talents..."

"..."

The Tianshui girls all began to chatter.

Even Shui Bing'er, who was usually aloof, looked shocked.

Listening to all the ridicule, Shui Yue'er pouted hard enough to hang an oil bottle from her lips and let out a snort.

"You guys just don't get it! Mr. Dan Heng is amazing!"

She huffed in frustration. If Dan Heng hadn't forbidden her from talking about it, she'd have stunned these ignorant girls into silence already!

Mr. Dan Heng could converse on equal footing with a Title Douluo! He even saved Poison Douluo's life!

And yet here they were, looking down on him.

"I was going to share some of Mr. Dan Heng's facial mask with you all, but now? Nope! Just sit there and be envious!"

She gave a proud snort and took out the jar of mask clay Dan Heng had given her.

The moment she opened it, a soft fragrance wafted out. The mask was moss green, resembling mud.

Scooping a small amount, she spread it evenly across her face, exposing only her nose, mouth, and eyes.

The Tianshui girls burst into laughter at Shui Yue'er's ridiculous appearance.

Xue Wu nudged Shui Yue'er in the waist and laughed,"Little Yue'er, why are you smearing mud all over your face?"

"Yue'er, it's best not to put homemade stuff like this on your face," Shui Bing'er said with a frown, trying to inspect the jar.

But Shui Yue'er quickly put it back in her storage soul tool.

"None of you are getting any!" she declared, turning away from them.

Shui Bing'er shook her head helplessly. There was no controlling her naive little sister anymore.

She'd have to suffer a harsh loss before she realized her sister only meant well!

Huo Wu asked, "You've already finished developing that secret technique? How effective is it?"

Shui Bing'er smiled faintly, a trace of pride flashing across her face."It's great, and it just so happens to counter the Blue Tyrant Team."

Huo Wu nodded slightly and chatted with them a bit more.

After a while, Xue Wu curiously approached Shui Yue'er, who had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Shui Yue'er was breathing evenly.

Xue Wu carefully peeled off the mask, revealing a smooth, pale face.

In stark contrast to the green algae mask, Shui Yue'er's skin was radiant and flawless.

"This... this..." Xue Wu gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

The others gathered around, their movements waking Shui Yue'er.

Startled, Shui Yue'er asked, "What are you all doing here?"

She instinctively reached up to touch her face. The mask was gone. Then she touched her forehead and exclaimed joyfully, "My acne is gone!"

She picked up a small mirror, and a flawless, fair face stared back at her.

Just one use of the mask had made her skin clearer, and the acne was gone!

This kind of visible effect was beyond the reach of any cosmetic product!

You see, their usual makeup only concealed imperfections—it didn't remove them.

Dan Heng's mask healed them.

Such a product was priceless and unobtainable!

No matter how beautiful a girl might be, unless she was someone like Gu Yue Na with a divine body, aging and blemishes were unavoidable. So skincare was a big deal.

Shui Bing'er and the others looked at Shui Yue'er with shining eyes.

"Little Yue'er, haven't I always been good to you?"

"I'm your bestie, right? You wouldn't be stingy with me?"

"I apologize, Yue'er, I shouldn't have laughed at you earlier..."

"..."

Even Shui Bing'er couldn't help but stare longingly at her. She also wanted a share of that mask!

Shui Yue'er puffed up with pride, declaring, "Still want to badmouth Mr. Dan Heng?"

The Tianshui girls all shook their heads fervently, praising Dan Heng nonstop to please Shui Yue'er.

Seeing this, Huo Wu quietly slipped out of the room.

If Shui Yue'er revealed that she also had the mask, things would get messy.

Better to escape now!

She had no intention of sharing her mask with anyone!

In a luxurious room prepared for the Pope in the Spirit Hall...

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were chatting in the evening. Hu Liena lay on Bibi Dong's lap, speaking softly about what had happened at the library.

She didn't notice how dark Bibi Dong's face was becoming.

Bibi Dong gripped the bed sheets tightly, rage bubbling inside her.

"Teacher, that 'Master' is so pretentious! He tries to act all serious, especially when he frowns and puts on that stern face—it's so ridiculous I nearly burst out laughing!"

Hu Liena giggled and continued sharing more details.

The more Bibi Dong listened, the more off it felt. A lot of things Yu Xiaogang did now, he had also done with her back then.

Which meant—it wasn't some unique bond he'd shared with her.

It was his pick-up routine!

She, back then, wasn't even as perceptive as Hu Liena and got swept up in Yu Xiaogang's manipulative charm!

"Stop talking about him. Tell me about that, Dan Heng..." Bibi Dong said, suppressing her anger.

She was afraid that if she heard more, she'd get so furious she'd really lose control and go berserk.

Hu Liena hesitated, then sighed, "Teacher, I don't think I can complete the mission anymore. Dan Heng walks the talk. When he looked at me, his eyes didn't waver at all. Compared to that hypocrite Yu Xiaogang, he's the complete opposite."

"..." Bibi Dong nearly spat blood from frustration.

No way—she refused to believe Yu Xiaogang was that kind of man!

Her disciple was still young, her judgment flawed!

She had to verify it for herself!

At the end of the day...

Dan Heng didn't return home with Gu Yue Na. Instead, he accompanied Poison Douluo to the palace to retrieve a few ancient tomes.

In other worlds, knowledge grew ever more abundant.

But on the Douluo Continent, much precious knowledge had already been lost.

Take soul tools, for instance—they could only be recovered from ancient ruins.

Dan Heng wore the same outfit he used when visiting Moon Pavilion, along with a mask—so he wouldn't be recognized.

With Poison Douluo leading the way, they entered the palace smoothly.

The lavish halls were contrasted by the library, which had a calm, nature-inspired design with lots of greenery.

"You see? I'm not interested," Poison Douluo yawned, settling down at the door to meditate.

Dan Heng nodded and entered the library.

An attendant handed him an index sheet, allowing him to locate the relevant books.

He selected the soul tool section in the northeast corner of the second floor.

There were many books there, and he picked five that focused on the principles of soul tools.

After reading them, Dan Heng had only one reaction: confusion.

How could the Douluo Continent ignore such valuable treasures?

In his world, even if individuals possessed powerful abilities, technology still held a key role.

While soul tools here might not reach space-age heights...

At the very least, shouldn't someone be researching them?

Yet apparently, no one cared.

Dan Heng didn't understand. He thought of someone known as the "Doctor of Truth"—maybe only someone like that could change this world.

Of course, he had no intention of taking on such a troublesome task himself.

Suddenly, a surprised voice called out from the stairs:

"You... you're that gentleman?!"

Dan Heng turned to see Tang Yuehua, the Moon Pavilion's master, staring at him in astonishment.

"..." Dan Heng felt a bit helpless. He really should've changed his disguise more thoroughly.

Tang Yuehua quickly approached and grabbed his arm, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I won't let you slip away from me again."

Dan Heng considered pretending she had the wrong person.

But seeing the clarity in her eyes, he knew she was too smart to be fooled.

"Sir, do you dislike me?" she asked gently.

Dan Heng shook his head, "No, but I..."

Tang Yuehua smiled warmly and nodded, "I understand. You don't like trouble, right?"

Dan Heng gave a small nod, thinking—if she knows that, then maybe she won't keep bothering him?

Tang Yuehua pulled a booklet from her sleeve and handed it to him."This is the music score I transcribed. Could you see if it matches the one you played?"

Dan Heng didn't want to cause a scene. He flipped through it, then nodded, "It does."

Tang Yuehua smiled radiantly."That's wonderful. Sir, you're a musical master. I admire you deeply and just wish to exchange knowledge—on the condition that I won't trouble you."

"..." Dan Heng thought, you're already troubling me.

She tried to lead him to a seat, but he refused.

So she stood beside him and asked, "Sir, may I know your name? I'm Tang Yuehua, master of the Moon Pavilion."

"...Yinyue," Dan Heng replied.

"Yinyue. What an elegant name. Mr. Yinyue, what must I do for you to accept my invitation?"

"Oh, right, Emperor Xue Ye is outside talking to Poison Douluo. He may come in at any time."

Tang Yuehua smiled slyly.

She knew Dan Heng didn't want to meet Emperor Xue Ye.

"..." Dan Heng suddenly had a headache.

Had he known it would be this much trouble, he wouldn't have come!

Next time, he'd let Poison Douluo borrow books on his behalf!

"Mr. Yinyue, I only want to befriend you through music. I promise not to involve you in anything else. I'm very trustworthy."

Dan Heng nodded, "If I have time, I'll visit Moon Pavilion..."

"That's not enough," Tang Yuehua interrupted."Ten days from now, we're hosting a small gathering of musical experts. I hope you can attend."

She added with a smile, "I promise I won't reveal your identity to anyone, not even myself."

Dan Heng thought it over and agreed.

He was worried that if they talked any longer, Emperor Xue Ye would come upstairs and things would get even worse.

On the way back...

Dan Heng told Poison Douluo that he'd prefer to let him handle borrowing books in the future.

Poison Douluo sighed, "That's fine with me. But I won't be in Tian Dou City for the next month. I'll let Yan Zi handle it instead."

Dan Heng nodded. As long as he didn't have to show up in person.

Poison Douluo asked curiously," Dan Heng, I don't get it. With your talent, why don't you show it off? People would be amazed. You could have anything you want."

Dan Heng looked at him calmly, "Everyone has their own preferences."

Poison Douluo chuckled, "True. But I can't help feeling it's a waste to bury such talent."

Medical skills, strategy,and soul power theory—Dan Heng excelled in every field.

Yet he chose to live a quiet life. Such a person was rare beyond belief.

"Dan Heng, is there anything else you enjoy?"

Poison Douluo was curious.

Dan Heng thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Not at the moment..."

When he first arrived in the Douluo Continent, he thought about traveling and documenting the mountains and rivers.

But it didn't take long—he'd already seen it all.

Meanwhile, in the Shrek Team's dormitory...

Dai Mubai was chatting with the others about Zhu Zhuqing.

"Let me be honest with you guys," he said."I'm done hiding. I'll admit it—I'm engaged to Zhu Zhuqing!"

Everyone stared at him in shock.

Ma Hongjun slapped his thigh and laughed, "Mubai, you dog! Flirting with Zi Ji in front of your fiancée... what a scumbag!"

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong looked at him with disgust.

Dai Mubai flushed red but defended himself, "So what? That was before! I didn't agree with arranged marriages!"

Tang San asked,"So what do you want to do now?"

Dai Mubai looked gratefully at Tang San."You get me, San! We only have six members in Shrek. We're one short. Why not bring her in?"

"But I'll need your help... to win her back."
